Chapter 148 Two Women Arguing

"Um......"

In the woman's boudoir filled with a hazy fragrance, Lu Yunshi opened his eyes, stared at the familiar ceiling, and quickly woke up. He was somewhat surprised. He had naturally been to Lu Yunxi's room before, but he never expected to find himself in Lu Yunxi's room now.

However, Lu Yunshi soon thought of the previous battle.

In the end, I should have won, but the final blow that determined the outcome was still too risky.

Using the power of lightning drawn by the talisman to forcibly use the Thunderclap Shadow Step, which he had not yet fully mastered, the power seemed to far exceed his expectations, but the price was also really high. However, in the process of perfecting this combat technique, he gained a lot of inspiration.

It would be better to use the power of wind as a neutralizing force, but unfortunately Lu Yunshi hasn't grasped that yet.

When is the next match?

Just as Lu Yunshi suddenly thought of this, he heard footsteps outside, which must mean that Lu Yunxi had returned.

Wait, something's not right. Judging from the voices... it's not just Lu Yunxi, there's someone else speaking. And that voice...

Lu Yunshi's gaze suddenly sharpened. His biological instincts made him immediately collapse, then he closed his eyes peacefully, looking as if he were dead.

"Hey, what kind of drug did you give the boss? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

As the door opened, Li Hongying's questioning voice became clearer, followed by Lu Yunxi's distant and cold tone.

"I don't have any magic pills here. If you feel uncomfortable here, you are free to leave. I strongly suggest you do so."

"Heh, me leaving? Who knows what shady things you'll do to the boss if I leave? I might end up becoming his godmother next year if I leave today." Li Hongying snorted coldly, sat down on a chair, picked up the teapot Lu Yunxi had placed on the table, and started drinking without any politeness.

"You are such a vulgar person. I really don't know how Lu Yunshi could... know someone like you." Lu Yunxi frowned slightly, she really couldn't like Li Hongying's words and actions at all.

“Why can’t we know each other? My relationship with the boss is inseparable for this life, the next life, and forever. What are you? Just a pastime for the boss on a whim,” Li Hongying retorted.

Hearing this, Lu Yunxi, who had been relatively calm, was so angry that she laughed. "A whim to have fun? Go ask your boss if he dares to leave me."

Li Hongying casually put down her teacup. "Even if the boss doesn't dare, it's probably just that you have some leverage over him, which is why he did those ridiculous things and became a laughing stock. I've suspected that for a long time, and judging from your attitude, it's true."

"But so what? Even if you use some method to temporarily control the boss, it's only temporary. My boss will never be controlled by someone else forever. Your despicable tricks are ultimately useless. You can't make the boss stay using this method, and the boss will never like you. Hehehe!"

At the end, Li Hongying stuck out her tongue at Lu Yunxi, looking quite cute, but in Lu Yunxi's eyes, she looked so irritating.

"I like him? What nonsense are you talking about? What is there to like about Lu Yunshi? This guy... he's full of flaws. I get annoyed just looking at him. You actually think I like him? I think you're blind. He's the person I hate the most in my life. If I didn't hate him so much, why would I keep him by my side? Isn't it precisely to torment him day and night, so that he can never see the sun outside again?"

'That's a bit harsh.' Lu Yunshi thought to himself upon hearing this, 'It's not that disgusting, is it?'

“Oh yes, yes, you’re absolutely right.” Li Hongying yawned slowly, responding to the exasperated Lu Yunxi with an arrogant look. “Dishonest people really have no harm at all, they pose no threat whatsoever.”

"Hmph, only someone like you would treat him like a treasure." Lu Yunxi took a deep breath and said.

"So what if I treasure him? My boss cares about me, and I care about him too," Li Hongying said proudly.

'So...so oily, who did this girl learn from? Is it me?' Although he felt warm inside, Lu Yunshi couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.

"You..." Lu Yunxi blushed at Li Hongying's words. "You...aren't you ashamed?"

Li Hongying responded seriously to Lu Yunxi's seemingly harmless remark.

"Hmm, the boss said that the whole world we live in is a game for the brave. Only those with great courage can go far and climb high."

"Love is also a game for the brave. How can you win if you're not bold?"

'Is that how you're supposed to use that phrase?'

Hearing Li Hongying's words, Lu Yunshi's heart skipped a beat. This girl seemed to be becoming more and more...bold and mature.

I remember when I first brought Li Hongying back, the girl was very timid, so I spent a lot of time with her and said a lot of things to encourage her. Who would have thought that the words I said before would now be thrown back at me and used against me.

At this moment, Lu Yunxi seemed to want to say something to Li Hongying to scold her, but unfortunately, Li Hongying interrupted her by raising her hand in a manner very similar to Lu Yunshi's. It was then that a voice with a tone very similar to Lu Yunshi's came out.

"Stop, I know you're angry, but don't be angry right now. Here's the thing, there's no point in us arguing like this. Although I really dislike you, I'm willing to give you a chance because we both like our boss."

"Who would share a husband with you? Stop dreaming and talking nonsense." Lu Yunxi could no longer hold back and slammed her hand on the table, angrily rebuking Li Hongying.

"Huh?" Li Hongying scratched her head, looking completely puzzled. "You're the one talking nonsense. How could the boss want a woman like you? Even if I agreed, it would be impossible. What I mean is, I'm giving you this... to make you quiet."

After saying that, Li Hongying took out a rolled-up painting and placed it in front of Lu Yunxi, then made a teasing expression.

"But I didn't realize that someone who looks so cold and indifferent actually has a lot on their mind. The boss was right after all; people with heart conditions see everything as dirty."

Hearing that things were not as she had imagined, Lu Yunxi blushed and sat in her chair, speechless.

'Haha, Hongying, you really have inherited some of my skills in roasting people.' Lu Yunshi was secretly delighted. This was the first time Lu Yunxi had ever been so speechless.

Only the word "爽" (shuang, meaning "refreshing" or "exhilarating") could describe Lu Yunshi's inner thoughts. If it weren't for his strong self-control, he probably would have already opened his eyes to see Lu Yunxi's expression.
