Chapter 173: Chapter 172: Green Tea Strikes

He raised his head and took a glance.

Lu Zixun saw a woman with heavy makeup approach the table.

After her gaze lingered on himself for quite some time, she sat down beside Liu Shishi.

"Ding—Covetous value from Ren Yan +500"

"Ah, Shishi, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you, and you’ve become even prettier."

With a hypocritical smile on her face, Ren Yan enthusiastically hooked Liu Shishi’s arm: "Ever since you went to Qingniao University, we’ve rarely had contact. Everyone’s really sad about it."

She subtly moved Ren Yan’s hand away.

Liu Shishi leaned closer to Gu Qing, slightly frowning, "It has been a long time, but could you stay a bit further from me? I’m allergic to the perfume you’re wearing."

Hearing that Liu Shishi was allergic, Gu Qing’s expression became extremely anxious.

After a moment’s thought, he put his arm around Liu Shishi’s shoulders, and the two of them shifted two seats to the side.

This bold move made Lu Zixun couldn’t help but mentally praise Gu Qing, what a man.

Feeling Gu Qing’s hand on her, Liu Shishi, who was about to swat it away, turned to see the worried look on Gu Qing’s face and her cheeks reddened slightly; she lowered her head and said nothing.

The obvious estrangement made Ren Yan’s face flicker with uncertainty.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Yan raised her hand to her forehead and said annoyedly, "Ah, it’s my fault, I got too excited and forgot that Shishi, you’re allergic to perfume."

Just as Liu Shishi was about to speak with a frown, the relaxing Lu Zixun lazily said, "Where did this stray hen come from, always trying to make a scene for herself?"

Hearing what Lu Zixun said, Ren Yan turned pale and forced a smile: "Lord Cat, I don’t quite understand what you mean."

Raising her hand, she wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, Ren Yan looked at Lu Zixun with a pitiful expression: "It’s just that all of Shishi’s old friends are over there, and I came over to invite Shishi to join us and catch up."

Lu Zixun got up and came to Liu Shishi’s side, squatting next to her and licking his front paw: "A hen is a hen, no matter how colorful, it’s still a hen. Scram, are you worthy of being my Shishi’s friend?"

Insulted by Lu Zixun this way, a shadow passed through Ren Yan’s eyes, and just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt an icy chill at her ankle.

Looking down at the ice forming under her foot, Ren Yan remembered that Lord Cat had a bad temper; her body shook a few times, and without saying a word, she stood up and left.

"Tsk."

He scoffed, shaking his head, Lu Zixun’s eyes followed Ren Yan’s departing figure, filled with disdain. Does she really think she can be a green tea bitch? She needs several more years of practice.

Before Lu Zixun could indulge in his triumph for two minutes, he felt his ear being pinched, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Ding—Killing Intent Value from Liu Shishi +500."

Liu Shishi smiled as she looked at Lu Zixun, her eyes full of interrogation: "Where did you learn all those rude words just now?"

"I learned them online, ouch, let go, let go."

After answering, Lu Zixun’s ear was tugged upwards by Liu Shishi.

"Hmph."

With a cold huff, Liu Shishi let go and crossed her arms, speaking indignantly: "Thanks for just now, but don’t you say those words in front of Si Yin, or she’s going to say I taught you again!"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Rubbing his ear with his pad, Lu Zixun nodded his head like a pecking chicken, eagerly agreeing.

Who would have thought that the once-famed Lu Zixun would be bullied like this by Shishi; a smile appeared on Gu Qing’s face, unable to hide his amusement, recalling the divination his father performed.

His eyes deepened by a shade.

Scanning the noisy surroundings, Gu Qing puckered his lips and moved closer to Liu Shishi’s ear, "Shishi, I have something to discuss with Da Ju. Shall we go to the study upstairs?"

The hot breath brushed Liu Shishi’s ear, turning her face instantly red.

She raised both hands, pressed them against Gu Qing’s body, and pushed him away, pouting, "If we’re going to the study, then just go. No need to get so close."

No sooner had the words fallen than Liu Shishi, with her purse in hand and a huff, ran upstairs.

Infatuated, Gu Qing stared at Liu Shishi’s retreating figure, reminiscing about her shy demeanor just moments ago. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he suddenly felt an odd gaze upon him.

Turning his head, he saw that both Lu Zixun and Xie Da had their thumbs up, their eyes full of admiration.

Especially Lu Zixun, it was already difficult for a cat to make a thumbs-up gesture, and yet Lu Zixun managed to do it.

But even that was not enough to express the admiration in his heart.

This was no coward at all, but rather a master of love, gradually escalating one wave after another—a true expert.

Just as Gu Qing’s stature grew ever taller in Lu Zixun’s mind, Gu Qing’s face suddenly turned red, and, covering his mouth with his hand, he wordlessly followed behind Liu Shishi.

"..."

Watching Gu Qing’s action that resembled that of a bashful girl, the previously towering image Lu Zixun had in his mind crumbled instantly.

Standing on Xie Da’s shoulder, Lu Zixun lifted a paw to cover his forehead, appearing as though he’d praised too soon.

Arriving in the study, he gently placed Lu Zixun down from his shoulder onto a chair.

Just as Xie Da was about to leave, he heard Gu Qing call to stop him.

"I remember you’re not only the heir to the Xie Family but also a member of STO."

Smiling as he mentioned Xie Da’s identity, Gu Qing said amiably, "It’s fine, no need to leave. Sit down and listen with us."

Sitting beside Lu Zixun, heart pounding with trepidation, Xie Da glanced at Lu Zixun’s unbecoming state and rolled his eyes, opting to jump into Xie Da’s arms instead.

With Lu Zixun in his arms, Xie Da lifted a hand to pet him, feeling the tension in his heart ease considerably.

They waited as the chef brought in a sumptuous feast of fish and sushi.

Gu Qing looked affectionately at Liu Shishi, while Xie Da, eager to feed Lu Zixun, made a special trip to the restroom to wash his hands.

"Lord Cat, regarding the recent upheavals in Lingchuan City, I wonder if you’ve heard anything."

After Liu Shishi finished eating, Gu Qing’s gaze landed on Lu Zixun, his expression serious.

"I have a rough idea. Which particular incident are you referring to?"

After swallowing the fish in his mouth, Lu Zixun looked up at Gu Qing.

"Tan Ye."

With two words, Gu Qing crossed his hands on the table, "Recently, a man named Tan Ye appeared at the Gu Family mansion and visited my father."

"Oh?"

Lu Zixun, suddenly interested, stood up and eyed Gu Qing attentively, "What did he say?"

"Snap."

With a flick of the fingers, a spiritual energy soundproof protective shield enveloped the four of them.

Gu Qing spoke slowly, "Tan Ye asked my family to reach out to the families of Lingchuan City to aid him, and if anyone refused, a list could be provided."

Pausing, Gu Qing took a deep breath, "And Tan Ye would deal with the people on that list."

Hearing this, Lu Zixun furrowed his brows, about to speak, when the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the study shattered to pieces.

"Boom!"
