Is This the So-Called Blessing of Two Beauties?

Although he hadn't been physically beaten, Zhang San felt as if his head had been figuratively beaten into a swollen pig's head.

Tang Ao didn't need to do anything; just standing there quietly while listening to Zhang San's pretentious words was enough to serve as the most effective slap to his face.

Zhang San gave himself a loud slap across the face. "Young Master Tang... I'm sorry. I couldn't control my mouth just now and spewed a lot of nonsense. Please don't take offense. By the way, what are you doing here? I don't think we went to school together, did we?"

Tang Ao nodded indifferently. "Indeed, we're not classmates."

Zhou Qiao'er cast a cold glance at Zhang San, declaring her claim by wrapping her arm around Tang Ao's, pulling him closer to her. "Tang Ao is here because I invited him. He's my fiancé!"

The moment Zhang San recognized Zhou Qiao'er, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Wasn't this the legendary genius from his class, the prodigy Zhou Qiao'er, whose life seemed like it was blessed with cheats?

Zhou Qiao'er was not only stunningly beautiful, but she also ranked first in every subject across the entire grade. While others were still burning the midnight oil studying, she had already been admitted to one of the world's top medical universities, where she mastered extraordinary medical skills and went on to help her family run the massive Zhou Pharmaceuticals with remarkable efficiency!

Such a heavenly gifted girl was actually clinging to Tang Ao's side!

Compared to Tang Ao...

Zhang San felt that comparing himself to Tang Ao was a gross insult to Tang Ao's status, much like comparing a pile of dung to pure gold—despite their similar color, they were completely incomparable!

At this moment, Zhang San felt as if he were soaked in a vat of vinegar, so sour that he might die from it!

What made it even more unbelievable to Zhang San was that despite Zhou Qiao'er practically throwing herself at Tang Ao, Tang Ao seemed completely unhappy about it.

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Tang Ao hurriedly pushed Zhou Qiao'er's hand away. "My heart belongs to Ruoxue alone!"

Tang Ao then walked over to Lin Ruoxue, looking worried. "Lin Ruoxue, you should apologize. He was just concerned for your safety and came to help you. Loyal bodyguards like Ye Chen are rare these days; you should be grateful instead of firing him."

Even though the plot had already crumbled into pieces, Tang Ao still made an effort to restore it, trying his best to protect Ye Chen.

Lin Ruoxue lowered her head like a defeated kitten. "Tang Ao, you don't need to plead for him. He was so reckless he nearly injured you, nearly causing a terrible mistake. As his employer, I'm willing to take full responsibility. I'm willing to grant you a request if you let the Lin family go..."

"A request?" Tang Ao was momentarily taken aback. "Then... any request?"

Lin Ruoxue suddenly lifted her head to meet Tang Ao's gaze. From her eyes, Tang Ao saw fear, reluctance, and... anticipation?

Lin Ruoxue took a deep breath and nodded with determination. "Yes! Any request!"

Oh my god, what's with that look of anticipation in your eyes when you say that!?

Zhang San was completely dumbfounded!

It wasn't enough that Zhou Qiao'er was throwing herself at him. Now, even Lin Ruoxue, who was well-known throughout Yintian City for her extreme reluctance towards Tang Ao, and who had rejected Tang Ao's confessions ninety-eight times, was telling him she'd fulfill any request!

This was simply unbelievable!

On one side was Zhou Qiao'er, and on the other was Lin Ruoxue. Oh my God, this is the unimaginable happiness of a truly top-tier second-generation rich kid! Is this what they call the blessing of having the affection of two beauties?

Hearing Tang Ao and Lin Ruoxue's conversation, Ye Chen managed to raise his head with difficulty, glaring fiercely at Tang Ao. "Tang, you have a problem with me? Today's mess is all my fault and has nothing to do with the Tang family. If you have the guts, come after me. Bullying a woman proves nothing!"

[He's truly the protagonist. Saying something like that is incredibly impressive!]

[Despite being gravely injured, he's still focused on protecting Lin Ruoxue. Lin Ruoxue must be moved to tears by his words now!]

[Good! This way, the plot can start to get back on track. At the very least, the relationship between Lin Ruoxue and Ye Chen can progress further!]

Lin Ruoxue, hearing Tang Ao's thoughts and looking at Ye Chen, found him utterly hypocritical.

Now he was stepping up with grandiose words, but just a moment ago, he blatantly ignored Lin Ruoxue's order to stop. He was nothing more than a simple-minded brute.

If Lin Ruoxue had to marry someone like him, she'd rather livestream herself cooking in a pot!

"Enough! Ye Chen, stop pestering me. Do you think you're handsome right now? Do you think you're being manly?"

Both Ye Chen and Tang Ao stared blankly at Lin Ruoxue.

In their minds, they couldn't help but ask themselves: Isn't that the case?

The more Lin Ruoxue spoke, the angrier she became, unable to suppress her boiling rage. She delivered a hard kick to Ye Chen's backside. "From the first time I saw you, you disgusted me. If it weren't for my grandfather's order that I'm not his granddaughter if I didn't keep you, do you think I'd ever want you as my bodyguard?"

"And now, just looking at you makes me nauseous. You're the most disgusting person I've ever met!"

Lin Ruoxue's words drained all the color from Ye Chen's face, leaving him pale and frail. It was evident that Lin Ruoxue's words had struck a deep blow to Ye Chen's heart.

Tang Ao frowned, criticizing Lin Ruoxue, "How can such cold words come out of your warm lips?"

While he spoke, Tang Ao racked his brain, trying to figure out how to mend the relationship between Lin Ruoxue and Ye Chen. "Lin Ruoxue, that's too much. Ye Chen, don't listen to her. I believe that someday Lin Ruoxue will fall hopelessly in love with you!"

"No need for your hypocrisy!"

Ye Chen clutched his backside, which was stinging from Lin Ruoxue's kick, his eyes filled with humiliation and hatred.

Lin Ruoxue, hearing this, was also furious. "Tang Ao, let me make it clear: even if every man in the world died, I would never look at this Ye guy. If someone forced me to be with this disgusting person, I'd kill him and then myself!"

Tang Ao was taken aback.

He knew that in the last life, Lin Ruoxue had indeed done so. According to the system's information, Lin Ruoxue, to preserve her dignity, perished alongside Ye Chen, which reset the plot from the beginning.

Lying on the ground, Ye Chen heard Lin Ruoxue's final words, and his teeth clenched so hard they nearly shattered.

He hated Tang Ao for ruining his plans time and again, for snatching away what should have been his!

From the moment at the Lin Pharmaceuticals entrance, where Tang Ao had stolen Ye Chen's chance to impress Lin Ruoxue by exposing the scammer,

To the time at "Shangshan Ruoshui," where Tang Ao took the opportunity from Ye Chen to play the hero and add Zhou Ling'er to his harem,

And today, at the restaurant entrance, Tang Ao had seized Ye Chen's identity-confirming riddle and just now caused a complete rift between Lin Ruoxue and Ye Chen!

Compared to these grievances, the murder of a father or annihilation of a family was nothing!

"If you have any humanity left, help me up!"
