Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Love Master [Bonus Chapter for 4000 recommendation votes]

Seeing Lin Shu returning.

Lu Xiaobu cleared his throat and pinched his voice to change its tone: "Ahem, guy across from me, I thought it over just now, actually, the line ’Shushu I like you’ should change to ’Darling, I love you,’ it’s better, and there’s the rest... Oh, you’re back! I’ll stop talking."

Whoosh——

At these words, Lin Shu’s footsteps instantly stiffened, her cheeks turned red in an instant, and her entire brain crashed.

What does this mean?

Could it... could it be... that Hong Bin was practicing a confession just now?

But, we’ve only known each other for a short while.

Although, he’s quite a nice guy.

But, but, but...

She froze, and Lu Hongbin wasn’t having an easy time either.

He was making frantic eye signals at Lu Xiaobu.

Lu Family code.

Drip drip drop, signal sending——

’Little rascal, what are you doing! Everything’s messy enough already!’

’You pull this stunt now, how am I supposed to wrap this up?’

’Are you really here just to make trouble for me!?’

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes, signal received, also began to make eye signals——

Beep beep drip, signal sending——

’Things are already like this, might as well strike first!’

’What are you afraid of?’

’No need to be timid, just do it!’

’Your little brother is here for you, whatever you need, I’ll get it ready.’

Lu Hongbin continued——

’Don’t talk big, are you saying you wouldn’t gift anything when confessing? I haven’t prepared anything yet.’

Lu Xiaobu——

’Piece of cake, I’ll give it to you.’

Then...

Lu Xiaobu turned his head and whispered to Wu Qianmin: "Qianmin, quick, lend me the bracelet my dad gave you."

"Ah?!"

Wu Qianmin was momentarily stunned and somewhat reluctant: "Why? This is what Uncle Lu gave me, are you..."

"Don’t get carried away."

Lu Xiaobu waved his hands and planted a kiss on Wu Qianmin’s pretty face.

mua.

"My big brother is in a pickle now! I’ll lend it to him first, my dad has another one prepared for him, identical, I’ll give you that one later," Lu Xiaobu continued.

"This..."

Wu Qianmin’s brain also crashed on the spot.

At home, with family around, that’s one thing, but now, in public, this Xiaobu...

However, her heart still felt sweet and comfortable.

Why?

No reason, just because Sister Lan and Zhou Jingyuan are right here, doesn’t that mean...

Hmph, Xiaobu kissed me, this thing is mine alone!

Since it’s Big Brother Lu’s issue, then it’s mine too.

I should take it out and help, and maybe show off a bit...

Ahem, the latter isn’t important.

"Here."

Wu Qianmin reluctantly took the jade bracelet out of her bag and handed it to Lu Xiaobu.

"Good Qianmin, I’ll reward you when we get back, tell me, do you want the top or bottom?"

Lu Xiaobu said with a streak of saucy comments.

"You! I’m ignoring you now!"

Wu Qianmin’s face turned even redder.

Lu Xiaobu took the bracelet, stealthily held it up, and winked at Lu Hongbin—look at this.

"Hiss!"

Lu Hongbin took a sharp breath.

’My goodness, you little brat, where did you get this from?’

He remembered his father treated this as an Inheritance; he wouldn’t even let him look at it ordinarily.

Geez, Dad, you’re really playing favorites now, aren’t you!

But then, he glanced at Lin Shu’s expression and checked out Lu Xiaobu’s stuff.

His eyes rolled around—could it be a good chance to press the victory?

"I need to use the restroom."

Lu Hongbin gave Lu Xiaobu a meaningful look.

"Sure!"

Lin Shu blushed and nodded; her mind was still a mess.

She didn’t know if she should accept if Hong Bin really confessed his feelings.

...

The two brothers, Lu Hongbin and Lu Xiaobu, went to the restroom.

"Damn kid, you’re just here to make trouble for me," Lu Hongbin said with a laugh and a curse. "I was planning on waiting a bit longer, but look at you, pushing the duck onto the perch."

"Scared of what?" Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes. "You like her, she likes you, why not get straight to the point? Even if she finds out who you really are later, it’s still easier to salvage a formal relationship than the current mess, isn’t it?"

"That’s true," Lu Hongbin agreed. "A formal relationship is indeed a bit better."

"That’s right, cook the rice into a done deal quick, to avoid any more unexpected complications," Lu Xiaobu said with a knowledgeable look.

"But you didn’t mention—I almost forgot that Lin Shu really seems to be hiding something from me," Lu Hongbin frowned and said. "Should I wait a bit longer?"

"Stop overthinking it, man in love. Your IQ really drops to zero," Lu Xiaobu spoke exasperatedly. "Tell me, does your girl know about your real identity?"

"She doesn’t, that’s for sure," Lu Hongbin affirmed.

"Then that’s settled. Since she doesn’t know your identity, it means she’s not after anything beyond who you are personally, and that’s enough."

Lu Xiaobu waved his hand dismissively and confidently said, "As for other troubles, what about them? Can’t our Lu Family handle it?"

"That’s right too!"

Lu Hongbin, having heard Lu Xiaobu’s words, had an epiphany.

Yeah, what the heck am I scared of!

As long as Lin Shu doesn’t have ill intentions, there’s no trouble that can’t be dealt with.

"Xiaobu, you’re something else."

After shifting his mindset, Lu Hongbin gave Lu Xiaobu a thumbs up.

"Please, I’m a master of love," Lu Xiaobu laughed.

"Oh, then, Master of Love, tell me, how are you going to solve the situation where you kissed Qianmin in front of Liang Lan and Zhou Jingyuan, and also the matter of showing off the Inheritance?" Lu Hongbin shrugged.

"Hisss!"

Lu Xiaobu sucked in a breath of air.

Crap, I forgot about that.

Uh... is there any love master who can tell me what to do?

I’m waiting online, it’s kind of urgent.

...

Back at the café.

Lu Xiaobu quickly noticed the three women calmly stirring their coffees.

No one spoke, but the atmosphere made it creepily clear that they had already had some kind of mental exchange.

It looked like both sides had suffered losses.

Thankfully, all three women were sensible and knew that the most critical issue at the moment was Lu Hongbin’s matter.

...

Lu Hongbin was making smooth progress.

After all, not only men fall to zero IQ when in love, women do too.

Under the cool and collected offensive of Lu Hongbin...

Lin Shu only had the option to nod her head blushing.

But why did Lu Xiaobu feel the air around them getting colder?

...

Just when everyone thought things were going smoothly,

suddenly a man burst in, heading straight for Lu Hongbin’s table, cursing, "Damn it, you slut, act all high and mighty, will you! I was wondering why you dumped me, turns out you found yourself a new pretty boy!"

Seeing the man, Lin Shu’s face turned from sweet to scared, panicked and worried: "Why have you come? I didn’t..."

"Go to hell, thought you could dump me? I put a tracker on your phone."

The man said with disgusting confidence and shamelessness.

"Bang!"

Lu Xiaobu’s hand slammed down on the table hard.

It was this moment that Lu Hongbin realized the domineering Lu Xiaobu Lin Shu had mentioned, was actually—real!
