Following the source, it seemed that he had a beauty standing right in front of him.

Even her cold expression wasn’t able to discourage him from turning his gaze. Her bright eyes and glistening lips were the first ones to pull him in. The corners of his lips twitched. How could the woman throwing the rock at his feet be this beautiful?

Her beauty caught him off-guard for almost a second, then the throbbing feeling returned.

The rock she had hit him with felt like steel. How could a girl like her throw such a large thing? He would’ve thought he was facing a man from the strength of her throw.

How could this beauty have such power?

“Little girl, are you looking to catch my attention? Because if you are, it’s working.”

A smile slid into his lips as he sniffed the air. “Ah, you smell so good.”

Placing his arms on his back, he walked toward her, assuming the posture of that of a young master. He regarded Yao Tang with a small smile.

“Since you look quite sensible, perhaps I can keep you for later.”

He slowly reached out to grab her shoulder.

What he didn’t expect was for him to be thrown to the side. Yao Tang’s feet immediately connected with his stomach, and he stumbled onto the ground.

It felt as if his entire vertebrae had collapsed in pain, and he couldn’t help but wince. His hands trembled as he rested on the pavement, unable to stand up.

What the hell was that?

The hooligans at the side had been staring at the scene with their jaws dropped. At first, they all had secretive smiles on their faces. After all, they didn’t expect her to be much of a threat.

Moreover, plenty of women would jump at the opportunity to be complimented by Young Master Lu. His family was very privileged. Everyone would want a piece of the treasure.

What they didn’t expect was for her to attack him!

Hearing Lu Qing’s terrified scream, Lu Ming opened his eyes.

When he narrowed his eyes at the girl in the crowd, he felt like his breathing had stopped.

Yao Tang!

What was she doing here?

He wanted to call Yao Tang and tell her to leave this place as soon as possible. However, he was afraid that if Lu Qingfound out about the extent of their relationship, he’d hurt her even more.

If she wanted to leave then, it would be even harder.

Raising his blood-stained face, he tried to narrow his eyes at Yao Tang, to signal her to leave the vicinity. After all, this wasn’t the place she should be. He clenched his fists.

He had a long-standing rivalry with Lu Qing. Now that he had finally arrived at his turf, Lu Ming had no chance of escaping. The best he could do was make sure that Yao Tangdidn’t get hurt.

Despite this, the woman simply nodded in his direction, noting that she understood. Even then, she made no move to leave.

He gritted his teeth in panic.

Eventually, Yao Tang lazily stepped and walked over to Lu Ming, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “Are you okay?” She tilted her head fearlessly.

“Go Away! Don’t come over!”

Lu Ming bowed his head, glancing over at Lu Qing, who was already being assisted up.

Lu Qing’s face was flushed with anger. His fingers dug so deep into his palms that they were already starting to bleed. Waves of pain scorched his back as a reminder of his humiliation.

Seeing the beauty help Lu Ming up, he gritted his teeth.

“You two know each other?”

Lu Qing snorted. “Little beauty, how about I’ll give you another chance? If you come over to me right now, I’ll spare your life.”

After all, a rose is not without its thorns.

If she’d decide to stop rebelling against him, then he might have the heart to spare her life. After all, he was quite entertained and amused by her presence. He smirked, waiting for her answer.

If she had chosen otherwise…

Then no one would blame him if he decided to kill her.

Lu Ming shook his head at Yao Tang.

“If you want to live, come here, baby.” Lu Qing ignored the pain in his back and gazed at her up and down. “Daddy will take good care of you.”

Yao Tang didn’t even raise her head.

Instead, she sneered and looked away.
