Chapter 75: The Life-Threatening Temptress

Su Sanli said, "Back then, you were already college students, and I was still in high school. There was a time when some college bullies picked on me, and you stood up for me, fighting them—two against six—and even got hurt. Do you remember?"

Lu Chengwen widened his eyes. "Ah! So that high school girl back then… was you?!"

Chen Moqun also slapped his forehead. "It was you?! I remember now!" He turned to Lu Chengwen. "What was the name of that college punk back then? Huo Dongwen! He went to the high school to harass girls, and I happened to run into him that day. I stepped in, and then you showed up mid-fight. Remember?"

Lu Chengwen burst into laughter. "Of course I remember! You were so reckless that day, getting ganged up on by six guys. If I hadn't passed by, you'd probably have ended up in the hospital. One of them kicked you right in the crotch, and you pretended to be fine in front of the high school girl, but the moment you turned the corner, your face turned green, clutching your junk with tears in your eyes! Hahaha..."

Chen Moqun snorted. "Huo Dongwen was such a bastard, always picking on the weak. I couldn't stand trash like him. Later, because of that incident, he even set up an ambush for us, remember?"

"Yeah, and then Cheng Bin stepped in to mediate. We treated him to a nightclub afterward."

"That was the time! It was our first 'practice session.'"

The two of them chatted more and more excitedly, laughing heartily.

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen with a smirk. "Well, well, Little Lu, who knew you were such a hero back in the day?"

Erlong was surprised. "There was such a thing? Why didn't you tell me?"

Sanli glared at him. "I didn't want people to know my brother was involved with gangsters!"

Erlong nodded. "Alright, my bad, bro. We didn't clear things up properly earlier."

"No worries, no worries."

Sanli smiled. "That day, I was really scared. It was the first time someone other than my brother protected me. Actually… after that, for the rest of my high school years and all through college, I… had a crush on Brother Moqun."

Chen Moqun froze. "Oh… well, that's… really flattering."

Sanli gave a bitter smile. "But I knew you were rich, and someone like me wouldn't catch your eye. Plus… later, there were so many rumors…"

Chen Moqun quickly interjected, "I know, I know. I'm aware of my reputation."

"But it was such a coincidence that we ran into each other on the street, and you even asked me out. Maybe it was to fulfill a youthful wish of mine…"

Sanli blushed. "Anyway, please don't worry. I like you, but I never expected to be with you forever, and I'm not trying to make you take responsibility just because you're rich. I won't cling to you. You can rest easy."

Lu Chengwen glanced at Chen Moqun, who looked both awkward and shy.

"I… didn't mean it like that. Actually… despite my bad reputation, I'm actually… pretty pure."

Even Erlong looked like he was about to vomit.

"Who describes themselves like that?"

"No, no, I'm serious!" Chen Moqun stammered. "Don't judge me by my reputation. I… I've actually been pretty lonely. Sure, I have money, but life's been boring. The people around me only stick around for my cash, and I know it, but what can I do? At nightclubs, I'm treated like a king because I spend money. I know how to have fun there, but in real life… I don't have… I mean, I do… I don't…"

Lu Chengwen couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, alright, I'll vouch for you. You're pure! Happy now?"

Sanli listened to Chen Moqun's flustered explanation and giggled shyly, her expression both embarrassed and adorable.

With everything out in the open, not only was there no conflict, but it had actually led to a beautiful outcome.

A girl who had been protected by her upperclassmen had secretly carried a torch for him all these years, and now, reunited, they could finally be together.

Chen Moqun immediately declared that he wanted to pursue a relationship and promised never to visit those shady nightlife spots again.

Su Sanli shyly accepted his courtship, and the two officially became a couple.

Erlong and Lu Chengwen were delighted, and the group started drinking together.

As they drank, a commotion broke out outside, and a woman burst into the room, heading straight for Lu Chengwen.

"Big brother, can you pretend to be my boyfriend? Someone's harassing me!"

The moment Lu Chengwen saw her, his heart skipped a beat.

This woman was stunning!

Not just beautiful—there was something irresistibly seductive about her.

Leng Qingqiu was beautiful in a noble, elegant, and dignified way.

Chen Mengyun was beautiful in a gentle, sweet, and radiantly pure way.

Xu Xuejiao was beautiful in a clever, lively, and charmingly youthful way.

But this girl in front of him was something else entirely—an overwhelming, heart-stirring allure!

Her face was slender, her nose straight, her lips crimson, and her eyes long and narrow.

Her figure was tall and curvaceous, accentuated by a tight-fitting dress that emphasized her seductive silhouette.

But that wasn't all.

The aura she exuded was intoxicating!

She was like a vixen—yet without a hint of vulgarity. It was pure, unadulterated temptation.

Looking at her, one couldn't help but imagine how breathtaking her expressions would be in the throes of passion.

She seemed boneless, radiating a soft, warm, and irresistibly maternal allure.

Seductive—to the extreme.

No provocative gestures, no heavy makeup, no deliberately sultry glances.

She simply stood there naturally, not needing to move or speak, yet exuding an almost irresistible magnetism.

**[Damn, this girl's something else! In all of China, how many could compare to her?]**

**[That waist is insane! It's practically begging to be wrapped in a man's arms!]**

**[And that ass—so round! If we ever… did the deed, I'd probably ascend to heaven!]**

The girl heard Lu Chengwen's inner monologue and froze.

Did this guy just… speak? No, he didn't!

Yet… I clearly heard his perverted thoughts about me?!

Lu Chengwen smiled. "What's wrong? Don't worry, I've got you."

Xu Xuejiao's face darkened. "Hey, hey, hey! I'm your official girlfriend here. Behave yourself!"

She thought furiously: *Lu Chengwen! You shameless, perverted bastard! The moment you see a beauty, your mind goes straight to the gutter!*

*Earlier, you said I was 'fun to play with' and wanted to take me from behind!*

*Now you're drooling over this vixen's ass and waist!*

*You're seriously… the worst!*

Xu Xuejiao glared at the beauty. "Miss, there are three men here. This idiot and this fatty already have girlfriends, but Erlong is probably single. Ask him to be your fake boyfriend."

Before the woman could respond, the restaurant door was shoved open, and a group of men barged in.

"Little girl, our young master inviting you for a drink is an honor. Why'd you run?"

The woman tensed. "I don't want to be forced. My boyfriend is here—I won't go drinking with you!"

She hooked her arm through Lu Chengwen's. Xu Xuejiao was livid and stood up. "Who are you people? Barging into a private room like this? Get out!"

"Oh ho? This little lady's got quite the temper!"

The leader, a well-dressed man, stepped forward.

"Well, well, if it isn't Lu Chengwen and Fatty Chen?"

Lu Chengwen looked up—it was actually someone he knew: Huo Dongwen, the very same guy they'd just been talking about.

Huo Dongwen was an ultra-rich second-generation heir.

The Huo family's assets surpassed those of Lu Chengwen and Chen Moqun combined.

They were businessmen from the southern regions, but Huo Dongwen had attended university in the north. During his college years, he'd clashed with Lu Chengwen and Chen Moqun several times before a mediator smoothed things over, leaving them with a superficial truce.

But the underlying tension had never faded—they still looked down on each other.

Lu Chengwen stood. "Huo Dongwen, huh? Haven't changed much over the years, I see. Heard your family's business in the north has been expanding."

Huo Dongwen laughed and stepped forward to shake hands with Lu Chengwen and Chen Moqun.

Su Sanli, seeing her old tormentor again, instinctively shrank back, her face pale with fear and dislike.

"Your city's got some fine women!" Huo Dongwen said. "So, this little beauty here—I've taken a liking to her. For old times' sake, you wouldn't ruin this for me, would you?"

"Funny you should mention it," Lu Chengwen said. "She's my girlfriend, so I'm afraid I'll have to ruin your plans."

Huo Dongwen smirked. "Lu Chengwen, don't be ridiculous. You've been eating and drinking here for a while now. I saw her walk in just a moment ago."

Lu Chengwen pulled the seductive beauty close. "We just started dating. What a coincidence."

Huo Dongwen's expression darkened. "Lu Chengwen, maybe you misunderstood what happened back then. If Cheng Bin hadn't stepped in for you, I'd have made sure you regretted it."

Chen Moqun snorted. "Wrong. Cheng Bin asked *us* to spare *you*. Otherwise, your college days would've been spent under our fists."

Huo Dongwen narrowed his eyes. "When Huo Dongwen wants something, he gets it. Anyone who stands in my way—I'll crush them. Don't say I didn't warn you, old classmates."

Chen Moqun burst out laughing. "What a joke! Ask around—in Snow City, *I'm* the boss! Watch your tone when you talk to me!"

Huo Dongwen was about to explode when Lu Chengwen cut in with a laugh. "Alright, alright!"

He glanced between Huo Dongwen and Chen Moqun. "You two are still the same as back in college—always at each other's throats. It's embarrassing. Dongwen, this girl's under my protection. Give me this face, and in a few days, we'll throw a reunion party to welcome you back to the north."

"Chengwen, if you want me to give you face, you should give me some too. I came all this way—you can't send me away empty-handed."

Erlong stood. "So you're Huo Dongwen?"

"What about it?"

"You're the one who bullied my sister back then?"

Huo Dongwen frowned. "Who's your sister?"

Lu Chengwen shot Erlong a look. "Sit down. This doesn't concern you."

Erlong hesitated but obeyed.

Huo Dongwen crossed his arms. "So? What's your answer? I can't just walk away like this."

Lu Chengwen sighed. "Bro, how am I supposed to give you face? If I let you take my girlfriend, how am I supposed to show my face in public after this?"

Huo Dongwen smirked. "Chengwen, she's your girlfriend? You expect me to believe that? If she really is, I'll down three glasses right now to apologize to you and 'sister-in-law.' But she clearly just met you. You're deliberately stealing what's mine—that's not how friends act."

Lu Chengwen shrugged. "She really is my girlfriend. Watch—I'll prove it."

He pulled the beauty into a deep kiss.

The moment their lips touched, Lu Chengwen's mind went blank.

This woman wasn't just seductive to look at—kissing her was intoxicating!

She eagerly offered her tongue, and Lu Chengwen instantly felt lightheaded.

A dizzying sensation made his knees weak.

*Wait—no one gets this dizzy from just a kiss!*

He quickly pulled away. The woman didn't seem the least bit shy, her luminous eyes locked onto his, a teasing, soul-stealing smile on her lips.

Lu Chengwen swayed slightly. "You… what's your name?"

"Luo Shiyin."

The moment the name left her lips, Lu Chengwen's heart screamed:

**[Oh no… I'm dead!]**
