Since her goal had been achieved, Li Xuehan quit while she was ahead. She was in a good mood. Taking a sip of her red wine, she spoke if discussing some unremarkable piece of chinaware. "Like I said, how could Xue Shao take a fancy to this stinky brat who's still wet behind her ears?"
She glanced at Linlang standing by the door from the corner of her eye.
"That's right, some people think they can fly up a branch to become a phoenix. Don't they look at their own identity?"
"They said it was a game. Young Master Xue was just playing with the commoner."
There was a round of laughter.Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com
Linlang didn't care about this unbridled group who laughed so wantonly. Instead, she focused her attention on the girl arranging fruits on a platter. She was wearing a black and white waiter's uniform, and the bow tied around her waist made her look very slim.
"Mengmeng, come help me." A companion called.
"Okay, I'm coming!" The girl responded in a melodic voice.
This scene didn't attract anyone's attention.
Although Zhang Mengmeng was the heroine, her appearance and stature were very inconspicuous in Xue Shao's circle. Had it not been for her unbending temperament and frank qualities, Xue Shao would have never noticed this low-level little girl.
Linlang knew that according to the plot, Xue Shao would pay attention to the heroine in the near future. They will be a quarrelsome but loving couple up until they finally get married.
She should be able to leave the mission soon, but what if she really wants to stir trouble?
Linlang had a belly full of bad tricks.
Generally speaking, the agent gained world points by pushing the plot, but top-level people like Linlang and Junwan were more inclined to guide the world into exploring an unknown storyline. This way, they become masters of the plot.
In ordinary words, they kick out the protagonist and take their place!
From then on, the main characters will revolve around the agent as they come to unfold their respective life stories.
"So this was a bet."
Linlang smiled as she stepped into the room.
The hairs of the big boy whose back was faced towards her immediately stood on end.
Li Xuehan smiled sarcastically. Things have come to this, she would like to see how this woman could make a comeback.
"What, you don't dare look at me, Xue Shao?"
Xue Shao slowly turned around.
She was very beautiful tonight, wearing the retro little red dress he prepared for her with a thin silver chain tied around her neck that accentuated her delicate collarbone.
"Happy birthday."
She offered a gift; a blue box tied with a small custard-yellow ribbon.
Linlang's eyes clearly had a smiling expression.
She wasn't sad at all!
Just when Xue Shao was puzzled over this, she stretched out her hand to hug his neck and stood on tip-toe. It was obvious that she was going to kiss him.
He was stunned.
Not even the crowd could believe what was happening. When the two were together, he could never cross the minefield. Whenever he had a bad idea, he was flung to the ground within minutes. That photo of his kiss was taken after he had heavily guarded himself against her.
"Close your eyes," he heard her say.
The wayward and domineering young master was unexpectedly so docile as to do just that.
"Xue Shao! You're crazy!"
Li Xuehan shrieked mournfully.
Her warm lips kissed made a gentle kiss.
It was light and inconceivably sweet.
The tip of his nose felt her shallow breath.
"Hua Shao, I should have won this game, wouldn't you say?"
Before he could savor it, her crisp voice rang in his ears.
A bucket of ice-cold water seemed to pour over him in an instant.
She had already pushed him away and was now smiling broadly at the young man at the corner; the son of the Hua family, and his best friend since childhood.
Clap, clap, clap!
Young Master Hua did not hesitate to express his appreciation and applauded. "Beautiful revenge, perfect counterattack. Miss Xu Linlang, your wonderful performance really amazed me." He pushed aside the glamorous woman beside him, and his charming peach blossom eyes winked at her. "Care to have a drink with me?"
Everyone looked at each other, unable to comprehend this dramatic turn.
What are these young masters playing at?
"My pleasure."Please read this at onemachineshow.blogspot.com
Linlang smiled and walked over.
An arm stretched out from behind her to block her movements. She could feel his beating heart through the violent rising and falling of his chest. It was like mountains quaking and earth trembling. The dangerous beast was giving out a terrifying signal, announcing it would snap her neck in the next moment.
"You made a bet with him? You've been lying to me?"
Xue Shao's blood rushed to his head. His eyes were glowing with a ferocious red light.
No one has ever dared to play him like this!
The bright overhead light cast a haze over the girl's beauty. She looked back with a grin. "Now that won't do. Do the rules of Young Master Xue's game make any mention of what can or cannot be done?
"You bet on my feelings while I lied to you. Is that too much?"
As the pair faced one another, the crowd feared to even draw a breath. Can't she see the smoke rising about Young Master Xue's head or the veins protruding on his forehead?
Not even Li Xuehan dared to make a sound.
This was her first time seeing Xue Shao like this.
"Okay. Okay, Xu Linlang. You dared to play me!"
He gnashed his teeth and his eyes were a frightening red.
"It was just for fun. Young Master Xue doesn't have to take it seriously. Don't harm your body over a game."
Linlang was still smiling radiantly.
Xue Shao stopped talking. He knew Linlang had a poisonous tongue and that most people couldn't out-talk her. He couldn't defeat her in this area.
Taking advantage of her lowered guard, he loaded the person onto his shoulder in the wake of the crowd's exclaims.
It must be said, Young Master Xue has been a tough fighter since he was a child. The former times he was thrown over her shoulder was because he was caught off guard and was willing to play along. Had it been a genuine fight, he would have crushed the opponent. Linlang's skill would not have much of an impact.
Seeing that Xue Shao was about to haul her upstairs, she signaled to Young Master Hua.
After Xue Shao's cold gaze swept over his body, the playboy merely crossed his legs.
Old fox!
She rolled her eyes. Are you enjoying the play? Sooner or later, I'll drag you into the water!
Linlang was forced to save herself.
——
Xue Shao pushed her against the wall and kissed recklessly, going rampant in a manner of wanting to destroy heaven and earth.
Just when his anger reached an all-time high, she shrieked. Her dark eyes fogged up with a thin mist. Although she didn't actually cry, her eyes were gradually turning red.
"What's wrong?"
The teenager wrinkled his brows. While the tone was callous, his nervousness still leaked out.
Linlang's hands were firmly pressed against the wall. She couldn't break free, but she didn't look up at him.
"Hurry up and say. What's wrong?"
Xue Shao grew anxious, not daring to do anything wrong again. He noticed that a bruise was already forming on her neck. The young master had obviously gone overboard. Although the dopamine was still surging in him, he still subconsciously eased his hand.
Linlang seized the opportunity and turned from passive to active. Relying on her own cleverness, she knocked him to the ground.
The young master stared straight up, feeling a bit vexed.
Sure enough, he still lowered his guard. Does beauty really make people stupid?
Linlang's attention was divided and so she could hear the sound of the door being carefully opened.
Previously, Xue Shao only cared about kissing her and didn't bother to lock the door.
Someone was spying from outside.
What's more, if she wasn't wrong, it should be Zhang Mengmeng, the heroine.
The plot gave an account of how Xue Shao chased the heroine because of love at first sight, but Linlang inadvertently caught sight of her sneaking glances at him. It was not the behavior of an unfamiliar passerby.
Zhang Mengmeng's family background was much better than Xu Linlang's. Although she was a commoner, at least her family was well-off. Her parents spoiled her since she was young and were reluctant to make her do any hard labor. This girl hated evil as if it was her enemy and believed that rich people were all parasites, so how could she run over to the Xue family to work as a servant?
There was more than meets the eye, Linlang thought to herself.
Soon after, she looked down at the flushed young master who was at a loss on what to do.
If one wasn't careful, things could get out of hand.
The opponent had already broken free from her hold and was preparing for a second round.
"Linlang, Linlin..."
He struggled to stay clear-headed, all the while writhing as he pleaded. With such an appearance, there was no sign of the superior young master. Instead, a pathetic little beggar was wretchedly asking for her pity.
Linlang grabbed his rebellious hand and whispered softly, "If you're good, I'll let you do what you want. How's that?"
Xue Shao who was full of longing promptly nodded his head.
She gently bit the corner of his lip, sending a tingling current throughout his body.
The entangling sounds and movements made the person listening outside blush.
"Am I your first love?"
She raised her eyebrows. Her tone carried a different kind of charm.
"Yeah...yeah right!"
Can't let her be too proud!
He is a mature guy, not a rookie who just fell in love!
If he admits anything, he'll just be losing more face!
Xue Shao didn't have the confidence to refute, but unfortunately, he was a sheep in wolf's clothing. His dodging eyes had already betrayed him. Perhaps this young heir didn't know he was a feast for the eyes at this moment; he had two clouds of red as if drunk and his flesh had a rosy tint to it.
His eyes looking at her were still watery.
This cute little thing really makes people want to bully him.
Linlang lowered her head and laughed softly.
"Hey, call me Queen."
"Uh...ngh...Queen..."

When the person returned downstairs, everyone's face changed.
Linlang was fixing up her hair. She was still wearing the little red dress, but there was evidence that she had redone her makeup.
Xue Shao had already gone ballistic, but she seems fine?
This is what everyone was thinking.
Zhou Da looked up at the stairs.
Li Xuehan was the one to verbalize the crowd's doubts. "Where is Xue Shao?"
"Not sure." She shrugged and walked up to Hua Shao.
The beautiful companion tactfully gave up her position and walked away.
"Did you touch it?"
She stirred the glass of orange juice. Hua Shao felt that the fingers holding the glass were immaculate, like blanc de chine or fine jade. The vision was almost suffocating.
"Wouldn't dare."
Hua Shao narrowed his eyes. "Sister-in-law is really capable to tame my brother."
Back then, this person suddenly approached him and offered to make a bet.
He thought it was extremely bold. Was the heir of the Xue family someone a girl like her could fool?
In the end, she turned out to be very capable indeed.
Hua Shao's heart trembled.
He must never let himself fall into her hands.
