LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 19 – All are acting masters
"No, Young Master Tang, are you going to introduce someone to me?" Ling Han asked with a playful smile.
She leaned against Tang Yu, sending him flirtatious glances.
Want me to leave?
No way.
She wanted to see how much this guy really knew about their organization.
[Damn, this isn't following the usual pattern. If your target is Qin Ming, shouldn't you be glancing at him right now?]
[Could it be she knows Qin Ming likes being a cuckold and is deliberately acting for his benefit?]
[Fine, act all you want. Life is a stage, and it's all about acting skills. I'll use you to deal with that foolish Su Muyue later.]
Tang Yu quickly calculated in his mind.
He chuckled and hugged Ling Han, saying, "So, Miss Ling, do you have any hobbies? Maybe I know someone who shares your interests."
"Hobbies? I like dancing and music. What about you, Young Master Tang?"
"Pretty much the same. I like listening to music and watching adult movies," Tang Yu said seriously.
"Pfft..."
Qin Ming, who was drinking, spat out all the wine in his mouth.
Bro, your flirting skills are as primitive as a caveman's.
Ling Han pretended to be shy and said, "Young Master Tang, you're so naughty."
"Just kidding, don't take it seriously," Tang Yu laughed heartily.
"I knew it, how could Young Master Tang be that kind of person."
"Exactly, how could someone like me enjoy listening to music."
Both Ling Han and Qin Ming were left speechless by the cold joke.
"Young Master Tang, you're so humorous."
Ling Han had no choice but to praise Tang Yu, leaning into his embrace and acting coy.
[Ha, don't try that on me. I've had enough of sugar-coated bombs.]
[Women only interfere with my enjoyment of life! Especially Ye Chen's women!]
[But Ye Chen is really despicable, not sparing any woman in his organization.]
[He deliberately assigns them impossible dangerous tasks, then swoops in to play the hero. Tsk tsk, he gets all the glory.]
Tang Yu sighed inwardly.
Ling Han, however, was utterly shocked.
How does this guy even know about this?
In the past two years, she had failed two missions, both times saved by the Dragon King.
The Dragon King had even been seriously injured saving her, making her deeply grateful.
But now, hearing Tang Yu's words, she started to sense something was off.
Because those two missions were indeed more difficult than described, which is why she failed!
"How much do you really know?"
Ling Han was extremely curious but couldn't ask directly, so she continued acting while listening quietly.
Fortunately, Su Muyue finally made her entrance.
She stormed into the Xinghe Club, heading straight for the number one high platform.
Along the way, everyone who saw Su Muyue was stunned by her beauty, and many tried to strike up a conversation.
A few men even followed her persistently, determined to win her over.
But when they saw her reach the number one high platform, they didn't dare to act rashly.
"Tang Yu!"
Seeing another woman, whose looks were no less than her own, nestled in Tang Yu's arms, Su Muyue's eyes blazed with anger.
"What? Here to talk about breaking the engagement?"
Tang Yu smiled slightly, finally seeing the woman he had been waiting for.
[See this? I'm holding such a beautiful woman, can you still tolerate it?]
[Don't hesitate, get angry, I'll even let you throw a drink in my face today!]
[Come on, don't pity me just because I'm a delicate flower. Show your dignity as the female lead!]
Hearing his inner thoughts, Su Muyue instantly understood his plan.
As expected.
This guy deliberately released short videos to provoke her, trying to force her to give up the engagement.
Hmph.
She wouldn't let him have his way!
Her expression softened, and she sat next to Tang Yu, saying, "What engagement? We've come so far together, what are you thinking?"
"I saw you drinking alone here, so I wanted to join you."
Qin Ming was dumbfounded.
Damn it, he finally understood why his boss said Su Muyue was acting strange.
The usually aloof Su Muyue!
She could actually tolerate her fiancé holding another woman and still speak so calmly?
Seeing Su Muyue sit next to him and pour him a drink, Tang Yu was completely bewildered.
[You're not following the script? Sis, your dignity is already compromised, and you can still endure this?]
[Quick, follow your instincts. Remember who you are? You're Su Muyue, the Ice Queen!]
[How about this, today I'll make an exception and offer a big discount.]
[I'll let you slap me and call me shameless, then we can break off the engagement, okay?]
[Don't hesitate, this is a great opportunity to prove yourself.]
[If you don't, how will Ling Han report to the Dragon King that we're just friends?]
"Then go drink somewhere else. You'll disturb Miss Ling and me here."
Tang Yu hugged Ling Han with a lecherous expression, provoking her.
[See this? What does it mean to be a shameless beast?]
[If you can't stand it, just leave. Don't force me to be more shameless; my moral bottom line is very flexible, I can do anything.]
Ling Han trembled, almost slapping Tang Yu.
This bastard, taking advantage of her and using her?
She gritted her teeth; this guy was dead meat.
Su Muyue found it both amusing and infuriating.
This guy, did he think his poor acting would fool her?
Want to force her to leave? No way!
"Go ahead and drink. I won't interfere. When you're done, let's go home together, okay?"
Su Muyue held Tang Yu's arm and said softly.
"???"
Tang Yu seriously doubted if this was really Su Muyue.
Did Wu Dalang possess her?
[Can a carbon-based life form say such things? What about your identity and stance?]
[Calm down, those simp lines are mine, don't mix up our roles.]
[Quick, drink this and regain your true self!]
"Don't look at me like that, I've thought it through."
"In the past three years, to test you, I've made you suffer too much."
"But from now on, I want to make you the happiest man in the world. You can do whatever you want, I won't blame you."
Su Muyue said gently.
Tang Yu took a deep breath, feeling his legs go weak.
This woman was going to be the death of him.
[You want to play for real? Fine, let's see who has the lower bottom line.]
[Damn it, I'll... forget it, I can't live with that.]
[Sigh, better take Ling Han away first. If she keeps listening, we really can't play anymore.]
After thinking it through, Tang Yu sneered and said, "Suit yourself. Drink slowly then. Miss Ling and I are going to the restroom, don't disturb us."
With that, he hugged Ling Han and stood up, leaving the number one high platform.
Qin Ming was left utterly speechless.
Damn, bro, why are you all so wild today?
Damn it, even as the king of nightclubs, I'm not half as open as you guys!
Su Muyue really didn't follow them. She sipped her champagne slowly, feeling both happy and conflicted.
Happy that this guy wasn't really messing around, just acting.
But his resistance towards her made Su Muyue's feelings complicated.
Could it be that his three years of affection were all fake?
