NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 9:
Chapter 9: Complete Capture:
The door to the apartment was pushed open.
Yan Qingxue supported Lu Feng as they walked toward the bedroom.
After placing him on her bed, her drowsy state began to clear a little.
It was only then that she realized, not even Su Chen had ever been on her bed. She had never imagined that the first person to share her bedroom would be someone she had once hated the most.
Fate has a strange sense of humor.
Yan Qingxue let out a bitter laugh.
She couldn’t help but feel that life was playing tricks on her.
How many times had she woken up from nightmares, where that detestable Lu Feng drugged her, took her to his home, and then…
But in reality, it was Yan Qingxue who had pushed everyone else away and, with a mix of guilt and fear, dragged him into her home.
Why was she afraid?
Zhang Qiang’s mocking voice echoed in her mind.
Of course, Lu Feng had been hurt because of her. If people found out that he passed out drunk in a bar because of her, Yan Qingxue would want to die from the shame.
Lu Feng frowned slightly and secretly opened his eyes.
Yan Qingxue was in the kitchen on the other side of the wall, clumsily trying to make some hangover soup.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Feng sat up straight.
Whether tonight would be a success depended on what he did next. After all, Yan Qingxue didn’t really have that kind of intention yet; it had only been a short time.
If he were too forceful, it could backfire and give Su Chen an opening. Therefore, Lu Feng needed to make Yan Qingxue develop such thoughts herself.
He quietly left the bedroom, but when he reached the entrance, he intentionally made some noise.
Naturally, Yan Qingxue came out to check and caught Lu Feng sneaking around.
A slight sense of caution rose in her, but when she looked up at Lu Feng, she was puzzled.
He was leaving? Why?
A feeling of injustice welled up in Yan Qingxue’s heart. He had rejected her when he was sober, and now, even in a drunken stupor, he still wanted to leave.
Didn’t he realize that by bringing him home, she had already prepared for the worst?
“Why are you leaving? Don’t you love me?” Yan Qingxue’s neck, pale like a swan’s, bent slightly. Her eyes lowered, and she whispered in a soft, trembling voice, half rosy, half pale.
She couldn’t have imagined that in less than two days, their roles would be so dramatically reversed.
“Why?” Lu Feng sighed, but he still slowly walked toward the door.
His hand rested on the doorknob. “Qingxue, I have to go. It’s late, and if people find out I stayed at your place, what will happen to your reputation?”
Reputation?
Suddenly, tears streamed down Yan Qingxue’s face.
She cried.
For the sake of her reputation, she had rushed to the bar to comfort Lu Feng.
Later, also for the sake of her reputation, she had quietly brought him back to her home.
But this man, all along, had been thinking about her reputation.
Reputation? What reputation did she even have left?
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value +1000]
A 1000?
The system notification surprised Lu Feng. He had already half-opened the door, thinking the plan might be delayed. Unexpectedly, this time the Luck Value increased more than ever before!
The overhead light suddenly flickered.
In the brief moment between light and darkness, Yan Qingxue had already appeared behind Lu Feng.
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value +1000]
An inexplicable force stirred between the two at the entrance. Lu Feng felt his heartbeat quicken, his breathing becoming heavier.
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value +1000]
Yan Qingxue’s soft body slowly leaned against Lu Feng. Even though Lu Feng had only been using the system for a few days, he was already aware of what was happening.
As the saying goes, ‘the beginning is always the hardest, and a thousand-mile embankment can be destroyed by an ant’s nest.’
The most challenging part was often that tiny opening. But once a crack was made, even if he did nothing, it would continue to widen on its own. The thousand-mile embankment would naturally collapse.
And Yan Qingxue was in that situation now.
The timing was perfect.
Lu Feng leaned in and whispered in Yan Qingxue’s ear, “Qingxue, I love you. I’ll give you the entire Shanning Group. Will you be my girlfriend?”
“Give me the entire Shanning Group, and I’m just your girlfriend?” Yan Qingxue smiled, her expression as gentle as a spring breeze, accompanied by the scent of roses.
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Value +2300]
Lu Feng was momentarily stunned. Before he could react, he saw the strap on Yan Qingxue’s jade-like shoulder slowly slip down. The alluring rose fragrance grew even more intense.
She parted her red lips, revealing a hint of white teeth as she leaned toward Lu Feng’s ear, whispering softly, “Is that okay?”
What the…? Wasn’t that supposed to be his line?
Lu Feng’s mind raced, thinking of something subtle to say to secure victory steadily.
But Yan Qingxue didn’t give him a chance. She wrapped her fair arms around his waist, discarding her usual image.
In the narrow entrance by the half-open door, she sealed Lu Feng’s lips with a passionate kiss.
Lu Feng wasn’t one to refuse a gift.
Since she had delivered herself right to him, it would be rude not to indulge. So, he took the opportunity to embrace Yan Qingxue and headed toward the bedroom.
A fierce battle was about to begin.
…
Yan Qingxue’s eyes were unfocused. Her actions reduced to pure instinct, and her mind went completely blank.
That wicked Lu Feng. He had seemed to reform over the past few days, but here, his true colors reemerged instantly.
Had he been hiding his true self all along, only to unleash it now? It was simply too much.
Wah wah wah.
