Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

In Maze of Time Cafe.

Zhang Mei, who had not appeared for a long time, showed up here.

“Has Luo Xiaoxi noticed you?” She asked the girl sitting opposite.

Li Yingyuan was a little nervous, tightly clutching the edge of the sofa with both hands. “No, she never noticed me.” It seems… she believes that her high heels accidentally broke in the first round.”

“She looks smart, but turns out so stupid.” Zhang Mei lit a cigarette, and disdain was all over her delicate and beautiful face.

“What… what about the thing you promised me?” Li Yingyuan looked at Zhang Mei. “I promised to help you break Luo Xiaoxi’s high heels on condition that you’ll help me be the winner. You won’t break your promise, will you?”

“Don’t worry.” Zhang Mei elegantly puffed on the cigarette, “I am planning step by step, and Luo Xiaoxi will soon ruin her name.” I will tell the network and you’ll be the winner.”

Li Yingyuan, a fledgling young woman, gradually realized that she was working with an extremely horrible.

However, she already made a deal with the devil, and she could not stop just because she wanted to.

On Friday, Top Model’s sixth knockout round began as scheduled.

The current situation was obvious. Luo Xiaoxi had seized half of the championship trophy, while others could only compete for the runner-up position or the third place. Naturally, other girls had been dissing her in private but sucking up to her in public.

“Xiaoxi, with your current momentum, you will be able to make a big splash!” A constant model said half-jokingly and half-heartedly, “Don’t forget our sisterhood when you get famous.”

Luo Xiaoxi couldn’t quite remember how she became their sister, but hell, anyone could act, couldn’t they?

“It’s too early to say that.” Her humility was just right. She was not self-deprecating, and still, maintained her natural pride. “I’ll share with you when I hit the jackpot.”

“Hey, Li Yingyuan!” Someone noticed Li Yingyuan walk in with her 15-centimeter high heels. “Come on, we are chatting.”

Luo Xiaoxi, who was surrounded by a group of fully-dressed models, looked at Li Yingyuan.

She did not forget the thing the girl did to her.

With one glance, she really didn’t look like that kind of person.

Li Yingyuan did not know if she was imagining things, but she couldn’t help thinking that when Luo Xiaoxi glanced at her… that woman had almost seen her through, so she flustered and excused herself.

The live broadcast would soon start. Now, after rounds of elimination, only six of them stayed on the show. Tonight, they’d eliminate one more, so every constant acted very carefully, for fear that their luck would come to an end tonight.

After the show, Luo Xiaoxi dialed a number. “I will send you a photo. You will find out who the girl has seen recently, especially people I know.”

Luo Xiaoxi lived for more than 20 years and her friends were all over the world, but she also had many enemies.

Before the first round, she and Li Yingyuan did not know each other or each other’s strength. It was strange that Li Yingyuan stabbed her in the back.

So she had long suspected that someone was behind Li Yingyuan.

She had a lot of “enemies”. If she wanted to find out the mastermind behind Ling Yingyuan, she could only facilitate her powerful personal relationships.

After the other players finished their walking and interviews, the host announced the results of the game tonight as usual.

Without any doubt, Luo Xiaoxi won first place. The cheers of the audience sounded through the roof. Congratulations hit Luo Xiaoxi like tide waves, while Luo Xiaoxi coped with ease, generously and decently, quite like a real champion.

After the show, Luo Xiaoxi changed back into her clothes and left the TV station in Candy’s car.

The car drove to the intersection where they pulled off last time and was stopped again.

But this time, Candy had realized and did not panic anymore. She directly signaled at Luo Xiaoxi. “Get off.”

Luo Xiaoxi looked in disbelief. “As my manager, why are you abandoning me like this?”

“Oh…” Candy unfastened the seat belt on Luo Xiaoxi. “Compared with your life, I think my life matters more!”

Luo Xiaoxi looked out of the window with a bad hunch, and sure enough, Su Yicheng was already standing there.

“Coward!” She acted dissatisfied and got out of the car. However, when she turned around and saw Su Yicheng, she smiled. “I took first place again. As my boyfriend, shouldn’t you celebrate?”

“Go home first.” Su Yicheng pulled the door and shoveled Luo Xiaoxi in. He fastened the seat belt for her and dangerously leaned closer to her. “When we get home, you can celebrate however you want to.”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi dryly smiled and didn’t feel cheered up at all.

Su Yicheng closed the door and turned back to the driver’s seat. The two headlights of the car illuminated somewhere farther away, and the car disappeared under the bridge in a short time.

They did not notice a telephoto lens that had been focused on them.

“Tut-tut, Su Yicheng gets along quite well with this woman.” The experienced paparazzo put away the camera and put out his cigarette. “Do you think that they’re in a relationship?”

“Whatever.” Another paparazzo said, “When I covered it, it’ll be a secret carnal trade. Didn’t the source say that she wanted Luo Xiaoxi to be ruined? And we have to make it a scandal to satisfy both sides.”

“When will we cover it? I’m itching to cover such big news, and that source…”

Before the experienced paparazzo finished, his partner’s mobile phone rang, who signaled him to shush and picked up the call after checking the number.

The person at the end of the phone only said one sentence, “The game is almost over, you should release the news.”

When the last sound just rang, the source hung up the phone.

…

The next day.

Today, Luo Xiaoxi was ordered to take a day off. She let her sleep at will, but the ringing phone interrupted her dream.

Looking at Su Yicheng who was in sound sleep next to her, she quickly turned down the ringing and sneaked to the balcony of the living room to answer it.

“Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi!” It was her buddy who she had asked to investigate Li Yingyuan. “Guess what I found!” Awards for the winner.”

Luo Xiaoxi rubbed her sleepy eyes. “You found that you have a gold mine in your home and want to gift half of it to me?”

“… I found Zhang Mei! The one who wants to steal Su Yicheng from you!”

Luo Xiaoxi’s hand paused, and she instantly sobered up. “What have you found?”

“Zhang Mei knew Li Yingyuan! But they’ve met only twice. The first time is several days before the first game of Top Model, and the second time is several days ago. They met for the first time at such a coincidental time. Do you find it suspicious?”

Between all the flashbacks and memories, Luo Xiaoxi gradually figured out the unsolved puzzles on her mind.

She once thought that she and Li Yingyuan had never met and had nothing against each other. Thus, Li Yingyuan had no reason to target her.

But when Li Yingyuan and Zhang Mei knew each other, all of this made sense.

The real mastermind behind the scenes may be Zhang Mei.

In the middle of her thinking, Luo Xiaoxi was suddenly clutched by someone from behind. Su Yicheng’s warm breath sprayed on her neck. “Who’s calling so early?”

“A friend.” Luo Xiaoxi hung up the phone and turned around. She hesitantly looked at the man in front of her. Though in pajamas, he still looked so handsome that people couldn’t ignore him at all. “Su Yicheng…”

“What?” Su Yicheng stared at Luo Xiaoxi, and he was obviously not into talking to her right now.

“Have you seen Zhang Mei lately?”

Su Yicheng’s pupils contracted, and the fantasy on his mind suddenly went away. “How come you asked about her?” She found out that he went to see Zhang Mei that day?

“Nothing, just… suddenly, I remember her.” Luo Xiaoxi pretended casual and asked, “Why did she resign from your company?”

She suspected that if Zhang Mei was taking revenge on her since Su Yicheng dismissed her.

Having that in mind, Luo Xiaoxi missed the fleeting hesitation at the bottome of Su Yicheng’s eyes.

“I told her that we were impossible, so she resigned in a few days.” Su Yicheng changed the topic. “Do you suddenly remember Zhang Mei, or suddenly feel jealous?”

Luo Xiaoxi let out a “tsk” and went to the bathroom with a scornful look. “I don’t even have a love rival named Zhang Mei!”

It was so degrading to get jealousy because of Zhang Mei!

However, according to Su Yicheng’s words, Zhang Mei was highly likely to be taking revenge on her.

How to do?

Should she ruin Zhang Mei or hand her over to Su Yicheng?

Behind her, Su Yicheng’s gaze gradually grew darker.

The moment she closed the bathroom door, Su Yicheng returned to the bedroom to dialed Xiao Chen’s number on his phone, asking Xiao Chen to confirm that if Luo Xiaoxi had already begun to suspect Zhang Mei.

He understood Luo Xiaoxi, who easily forgot things in the past, and she could never remember Zhang Mei at this time.

She must have found something.

Luo Xiaoxi washed and pushed Su Yicheng into it. “I am going to help you prepare clothes!”

Usually, she’d muddle through everything Su Yicheng told her to do, but was only enthusiastic about this one thing, mixing and matching clothing for Su Yicheng.

Was there a saying that when you mixed and matched clothes for your boyfriend, he’d look like totally yours from head to toe?

Su Yicheng changed his clothes, and Luo Xiaoxi smiled, very satisfied. “I want to eat ramen!”

Su Yicheng put on the apron, took out the semi-dry ramen from the refrigerator, prepared the soup and the side dishes to start cooking.

When he cooked in the kitchen, he looked just like when working in the office, decisive and quick, and he made two bowls of ramen noodles soon. The fragrant soup, the thin noodles, and the thick beef, sprinkled with floating shallots above the noodles, greatly whetting Luo Xiaoxi’s appetite.

“Su Yicheng, when my dad does not agree on our marriage, you will conquer him with your cooking!” Luo Xiaoxi hurried to drink the soup, closed her eyes to savor it, and even slowed down the speed of her talking. “My dad said that he admires the man who can both work and cook the most!”

Su Yicheng also made fried eggs and picked one for Luo Xiaoxi. “I only used my cooking to conquer you.”

Luo Xiaoxi slurped her noodles, “I can sing ‘Conquer’ for you right now!”

Su Yicheng. “…”

“But seriously—” Luo Xiaoxi looked at Su Yicheng. “I sounded my father on our relationship. The chances he’ll say yes are very small. What are you going to do?”

“Does your father still want you to marry Qin Wei?” Su Yicheng asked straightforwardly.

Luo Xiaoxi was stunned, and for the first time in front of Su Yicheng, she lost her pride and feebly nodded.

However, Su Yicheng’s reaction was beyond her expectations.

“Don’t worry.” Su Yicheng smiled and said, “Your dad won’t mention that Qin Wei in front of you soon.”

“Can you do that?” Luo Xiaoxi felt unbelievable. “What are you going to do?” Kill him?”

“I’m not that violent type.” Su Yicheng smiled mysteriously, “You just wait and see.”
