Zou Jinnian's eyes narrowed slightly. This woman was incredibly audacious to dare to lay a hand on him.
He was so indulgent towards her.
He nimbly dodged Mingluo's attack and rubbed his wrist. "I apologize, I forgive you."
"Dream on!" Mingluo's lips curled into a mocking smile as she swung the stick at Zou Jinnian again. This time, she used a clever technique, calculating the possible location where Zou Jinnian might dodge and changing direction midway.
With a scream of pain, Zou Jinnian was struck hard in the leg. He immediately fell to his knees, hugging his knees, staring at Ming Luo with a livid face.
He underestimated her; her skills were clearly trained.
Minglu glanced at him sideways, "Will you unlock it, or should I cut off your hand and unlock it myself?"
"You dare!" Zou Jinnian's gaze was icy; he didn't believe Ming Luo was that crazy.
Mingluo said calmly, "Let's give it a try!"
"..." Zou Jinnian stared at Ming Luo, her eyes meeting his with cold cruelty. Before, she hadn't even dared to look at him.
The person is still the same, but the soul inside seems different.
He remained silent for a long time before finally pressing a button slowly.
The door lock clicked open.
Minglu raised an eyebrow, chuckled softly, turned around, and gracefully descended the stairs, this time without any hindrance.
The bodyguards outside stared in astonishment at Mingluo's quick exit, finding it utterly unbelievable. Previously, Mingluo had always been confined upstairs for an entire day, never venturing out. How could she be so quick and free this time?
Zou Jinnian forced himself to stand up, walked to the window, looked at Mingluo's carefree figure, and made a phone call, "Help me look into Mingluo."
"What's there to investigate?" A sneer came from the other end of the phone, clearly looking down on such a pretty face.
"She knows Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and just beat me."
The laughter on the other end of the phone stopped abruptly. "I'll send you the information in a bit."
After the call ended, Zou Jinnian's eyes darkened. No one knew that he was once a renowned figure in the Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) world. Ming Luo's ability to defeat him was no simple feat.
His knee throbbed with pain. He touched the bone, his expression changed drastically, and he made another call to a hospital…
A dozen minutes later.
Zou Jinnian, who was on his way to the hospital, received Mingluo's information. He opened it and glanced at it. The more he looked, the darker his face became. He felt he couldn't bear to strangle Mingluo right away.
Even if it's just a vase, he wants a clean vase, not one with lots of fish. What's even harder to accept is that he's also one of the fish in her fishpond...
When Zou Jinnian saw Nie Heng's name among Mingluo's many suitors, he sneered. "Truly remarkable, daring to seduce even someone from the Nie family."
He continued scrolling down and saw that Mingluo didn't have twins or hadn't learned Sanda (Chinese kickboxing). The darkness in his eyes deepened. Was Mingluo hiding something too well, or was he just being paranoid?
...
Minglu got out of the car.
In the small square, someone was confessing their love, countless people were holding balloons, pink wreaths were arranged in a heart shape, and a small cluster of candles was slowly burning.
She glanced at it and walked past indifferently.
Countless eyes were fixed on her, whispering amongst themselves.
"Mingluo is here, will a fight break out?"
"What if they try to sabotage us?"
"What else can we do but block it? Ming Jiaojiao said that Ming Luo messed things up at the airport last time, and it would be disgusting if he messed things up again this time."
A dozen people immediately formed a human wall to block Mingluo's view, fearing that she would go in and cause trouble.
"..."
Minglu glanced coldly at the group of people and walked past them without paying them any attention.
"Oh no!" A dozen people glanced inside, then immediately turned around and blocked Mingluo's way. "Mingluo, you can't go this way."
"..."
A fleeting glint of cold light flashed in Mingluo's eyes. She stepped past the people blocking her way and saw Ming Jiaojiao being surrounded by others, looking shy and bashful. Her eyes were covered with a silk scarf, and Jing Yan was holding her hand with a doting expression.
Jing Yan sensed something was wrong, looked up and saw Ming Luo. His expression froze, then became even more doting, and his tone became even gentler.
"Jiaojiao, hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."
Ming Jiaojiao: "Then you have to hold me back, I'm afraid to leave."
Even though she couldn't see anything because her eyes were covered by a silk handkerchief, she could still sense that something was wrong from Jing Yan's state.
Could it be Mingluo?
She hugged Jing Yan's arm tightly, tilted her head back, and smiled sweetly and adorably.
Mingluo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly with a mocking smile as she leisurely watched what the two of them were doing, making such a fuss. Were they going to propose?
Jing Yan pulled Ming Jiaojiao to the center of the flower wreath, removed the silk handkerchief from her eyes, and Ming Jiaojiao covered her mouth with excitement, her eyes slightly moist, her gaze full of excitement.
She glanced around and spotted Mingluo standing there, looking completely at ease, as if none of this concerned her.
Ming Jiaojiao didn't believe it.
Is it an act?
Minglu is probably in so much pain right now that she wants to die.
She was overjoyed.
Jing Yan knelt on one knee, took out the prepared confession ring, and said, "Jiaojiao, thank you for always being by my side and helping me through the most difficult days. I always thought I only considered you a friend, but now I realize that you have actually lived in my heart for a long time. Now, please stay in my heart forever and be my girlfriend, okay?"
"Hoo hoo hoo, say yes, say yes, say yes."
Countless people clapped and cheered excitedly.
Ming Jiaojiao was so excited she almost cried tears of joy. She covered her lips with the back of her hand, as if she might burst into tears at any moment. "I promise you!"
She slowly extended her hand, waiting for Jing Yan to put the ring on her finger.
The ring gleamed on my hand.
She seemed to only then notice Mingluo, her mouth agape in surprise, "Mingluo, are you feeling better? Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Soon, as if remembering something, she guiltily hid the ring behind her back, a sheepish smile on her face, "Mingluo, we were just joking, don't take it seriously, Jingyan and I..."
“We were boyfriend and girlfriend.” Jing Yan pulled her hand out from behind her back and held it firmly in his own. “Mingluo, I’ve broken up with you. Don’t bother me anymore. Jiaojiao doesn’t owe you anything. You don’t need to hide.”
Minglu smiled slightly and said calmly, "I thought it was a marriage proposal, but it turns out it's a confession of love."
One sentence changed the expressions of Jing Yan and Ming Jiaojiao.
Ming Jiaojiao tightly gripped the hand with the ring on it. Jing Yan had originally promised to get engaged to her, but his parents disagreed, saying that students should prioritize their studies.
After thinking it over, she realized that the Jing family might be looking down on her because of her humble background.
However, it doesn't matter. Jing Yan has already arranged a talent agency for her. She can slowly build her own career, and one day, she will be worthy of Jing Yan.
"We're still young, there's no rush." Ming Jiaojiao forced a smile, secretly cursing that this bitch had deliberately come to cause trouble today.
Jing Yan said coldly, "What I do is none of your business."
Minglu chuckled lightly, her demeanor elegant and refined. "Please feel free to move aside."
The people who stopped Mingluo looked like they'd seen a ghost. They'd thought she was going to cause trouble... but it turned out she was just passing by...
The crowd reluctantly made way.
