Chapter 100: Chapter 99 Losing Face Among Fellow Men

"Zu Peng, you play this round."

Li Feiyu weighed her options internally and concluded that it was impossible for her to achieve a one-shot success for all four long pots.

Since she was destined to lose, Li Feiyu didn’t want to be the one to face that humiliation.

Zu Peng was naturally pushed forward by Li Feiyu.

"Feiyu, why don’t we just concede?"

Zu Peng was well aware of his own billiard skills.

With Su Mu having set such a high bar, Zu Peng knew he couldn’t match Su Mu’s level.

Since the loss was inevitable, Zu Peng felt there was nothing wrong with conceding directly.

Moreover, conceding to a superior opponent wasn’t shameful.

Besides, Zu Peng had reflected a bit in his heart.

Indeed, he had been the one at fault from the start.

The way Li Feiyu behaved differently around Su Mu was entirely her own business.

From the beginning to the end, it seemed like Su Mu hadn’t even given Li Feiyu as much as a straight look.

This clearly indicated that Su Mu had no interest in Li Feiyu whatsoever.

Zu Peng realized he had been jealous of the wrong person.

"Are you even a man? You want to concede before the game has even started?"

"Look at how pathetic you are, it’s truly embarrassing."

Zu Peng had barely spoken these words when he drew a big eye roll from Li Feiyu.

Li Feiyu even went so far as to curse at him outright, without considering Zu Peng’s feelings at all.

Li Feiyu cursed with absolute righteousness.

Wasn’t she aware that she couldn’t beat Su Mu, which was why she pushed Zu Peng to play in her stead?

Zu Peng’s face turned particularly ugly after being dressed down by Li Feiyu like that.

Li Feiyu was his girlfriend.

But it seemed like Li Feiyu had never considered sparing his face in public.

This wasn’t the first time such a situation had occurred.

Whenever Li Feiyu was unhappy, no matter the setting, she would scold Zu Peng or ignore him as she pleased.

Zu Peng had always consoled himself by thinking that Li Feiyu just had a bit of a temper, and what girlfriend didn’t need a bit of pampering?

But today, Zu Peng suddenly felt something different about Li Feiyu.

He glanced at Su Mu, who was standing there calmly and composed.

Zu Peng felt a bit weak.

He believed that if it were Su Mu, he would never tolerate such attitude from Li Feiyu.

Without responding to Li Feiyu, Zu Peng took two steps forward.

Since Li Feiyu insisted on a thorough defeat, Zu Peng decided he would fulfill his girlfriend’s "wish."

"Whoosh"

The first shot, missed.

"Useless."

Li Feiyu didn’t console Zu Peng; she simply cursed.

Su Mu looked at Zu Peng, who was very calm, with a bit of surprise.

Being called useless by his girlfriend in public, and he could bear it?

Su Mu felt Zu Peng had let the male fraternity down.

Zu Peng was indeed acting strange, not talking back or even glancing at Li Feiyu.

He simply took his second shot.

Fortunately, it went in.

Actually, whether it went in or not was no longer important.

Su Mu had already pocketed each ball in one shot.

Zu Peng’s failure with the first long pot had already decided the outcome of the game.

That’s why Li Feiyu was cursing so furiously.

It wasn’t clear what Zu Peng was holding on for, showing no sign of stopping.

For the next three long pots, Zu Peng took five shots to finish the task.

If it hadn’t been for the match with Su Mu, Zu Peng’s golf skills would have been considered quite impressive.

Unfortunately, Zu Peng just happened to meet Su Mu.

The competition was over, and naturally, it was time to fulfill the bet.

"I’m sorry, the shot I took earlier was indeed intentional."

"It’s my own problem, seeing how much Elder Li favored you, I let jealousy get the better of me and lost my reason."

Before Su Mu could say anything, Zu Peng consciously walked up to him.

And sincerely made an apology.

Looking at Zu Peng’s demeanor, Su Mu raised an eyebrow.

The young man’s attitude seemed quite sincere.

Could he have been affected by something?

It was a far cry from the beginning, when Zu Peng looked at him with strange eyes.

"Zu Peng, what are you doing?"

Li Feiyu clearly did not expect Zu Peng to apologize directly to Su Mu.

Since Li Feiyu and Zu Peng were on the same team, and Zu Peng had apologized, Li Feiyu naturally couldn’t escape the responsibility.

However, Li Feiyu felt she was like a little princess, and such things as apologizing were simply not something a person of her status should do.

Li Feiyu was very dissatisfied with Zu Peng making a concession to Su Mu without her consent.

Actually, everyone was well aware of who won and who lost.

But Li Feiyu thought that as long as it was not openly acknowledged, she could avoid apologizing to Su Mu.

Zu Peng’s actions unexpectedly broke this impasse.

Li Feiyu’s anger was understandable.

In the past, whenever Li Feiyu got angry, Zu Peng would apologize first without questioning anything.

Anyway, no matter the problem, it was always Zu Peng’s fault.

But this time, Li Feiyu was clearly very upset.

Yet Zu Peng still stood there calmly.

"Mr. Su, I am sincerely apologizing to you, and I hope you can accept my apology."

"Also, I want to say thank you."

Zu Peng suddenly bowed to Su Mu, leaving both Su Mu and Li Feiyu stunned.

What act was Zu Peng putting on?

Seeing the puzzled look on Su Mu’s face as he looked at him, Zu Peng gave a bitter smile.

"Mr. Su, I want to say thank you because today’s incident has made me see my own place."

"In reality, I’ve always known I don’t hold much of a position in Feiyu’s heart."

"But I’ve always fantasized that one day Feiyu would recognize my effort."

"Today, I’ve finally understood that love isn’t about who makes an effort, it’s about whom you give it to."

"Perhaps in Feiyu’s heart, I’m not even as good as her pet."

Watching Zu Peng, Su Mu felt it was a good thing that the young man had come to this realization.

After all, Zu Peng and Li Feiyu seemed mismatched from the start.

How should I put it? Li Feiyu seemed too proud, too pretentious—not something Zu Peng could handle.

"Zu Peng, why are you spouting nonsense to a stranger?"

As for what Zu Peng said to Su Mu, Li Feiyu simply felt unhappy.

It was as if her private affairs had been exposed to others.

Li Feiyu didn’t feel any different about Zu Peng’s words.

To Li Feiyu, Zu Peng was dispensable.

Agreeing to be Zu Peng’s girlfriend was, on the one hand, to contradict her family.

At that time, her family was preparing to introduce her to a well-matched young man.

On the other hand, it was because Zu Peng was obedient; whatever Li Feiyu said, Zu Peng would comply without question.

Unfortunately, now Zu Peng seemed to have a moment of enlightenment.

After bowing to Su Mu once more, Zu Peng turned to look at Li Feiyu.

Now Zu Peng’s gaze towards Li Feiyu was very calm, as if he were looking at just a regular friend.
