Chapter 185: Grandmaster Ning Xueluo

With a sarcastic tone, Wang Haoran mocked Murong Bufan and prepared to leave the alley.

He was puzzled. This was clearly Murong Bufan’s first time meeting Xiao Longchen, so why did it seem like he was protecting him?

Wang Haoran had repeatedly stated that Xiao Longchen was a mercenary. At the very least, Murong Bufan should have taken both of them back for a thorough investigation, right?

Without even checking, he just told Wang Haoran to stop causing trouble!

Could it be that Murong Bufan was just lazy and didn’t want the hassle, so he forcefully made them reconcile and sent them on their way?

Impossible. If he were really that negligent, he wouldn’t have bothered to come and stop their fight in the first place.

Damn it, Wang Haoran even let Xiao Longchen hit him on purpose when Murong Bufan arrived, all for nothing!

Feeling indignant, Wang Haoran decided to use his “Steal” skill on Murong Bufan as he was leaving.

When used on Xiao Longchen, the skill only stole useless items like clothing or, at best, a wallet. Wang Haoran had given up using it on Xiao Longchen.

But maybe he’d get something good from Murong Bufan this time!

“System, use the skill—Steal!”

After using the skill, Wang Haoran felt an object appear in his right hand.

“…A good item!”

Judging by the legendary aura in his palm, Wang Haoran knew he had stolen something valuable.

[Ding! Host has stolen one of protagonist Murong Bufan’s protective jade plaques! Murong Bufan’s Protagonist Halo -100, Host Luck Points +100, Ability Points +10!]

[Murong Bufan’s remaining Protagonist Halo: 4900, Host’s current Luck Points: 4000, Ability Points: 10.]

“Not bad! Now Murong Bufan only has two jade plaques left, but it’s a pity I could only reduce his halo by 100!”

Pocketing the item, Wang Haoran walked over to where Wang Yuxiao, Lin Xiaowei, and Zhuque were waiting.

“Why are you standing here waiting for me?”

Seeing the three had left the barbecue place and were standing by the roadside, Wang Haoran was curious.

Lin Xiaowei smiled and explained.

“After you left, a drunk man saw Zhu’er dressed so provocatively and tried to drag her for a drink!”

“As a result, protective Yuxiao kicked his beer belly, sending him flying a few meters away. He vomited on the spot, and… even soiled himself…”

“We found it disgusting and left.”

After Lin Xiaowei finished, Wang Yuxiao hugged Wang Haoran’s arm and laughed.

“The police came. Remember to help me handle it!”

“Got it, just a phone call away!”

Wang Haoran held Lin Xiaowei’s hand with his left and Wang Yuxiao’s with his right, motioning to the obedient Zhuque, “Zhu’er, let’s go home.”

“Mm!”

***

The four got into the car and returned to the Wang estate.

Wang Yuxiao and Lin Xiaowei went inside.

Wang Haoran noticed Zhuque lagging behind, looking distracted, and called out.

“Zhu’er?”

“Ah—! What is it?”

Seeing Zhuque startled, he walked over and pulled her closer.

“Are you alright?”

“I-I’m fine…”

Seeing Zhuque’s evasive eyes, Wang Haoran sighed.

“Zhu’er, don’t be sad. Even if things fell apart with Xiao Longchen, you still have me!”

“I’m not…”

Zhuque initially wanted to say she wasn’t sad.

The reason she seemed absent-minded was because she was thinking about what Wang Yuxiao had mentioned earlier—that tonight Wang Haoran might be with all three of them…

She had never experienced such a scene before!

Nervous and confused, she walked slowly.

But seeing Wang Haoran’s gentle consolation, she decided not to explain.

Her would-be explanation turned into a single word.

“Mm…”

She hugged Wang Haoran and softly said,

“Young Master~”

“It’s okay, Zhu’er. I’ll be with you all night!”

Hearing this, Zhuque felt her act of pity worked and was delighted.

Shyly and happily, she said,

“Then… Young Master, please be gentle tonight… Don’t make Zhu’er hang or kneel…”

“Let’s keep it simple…”

“…”

Indeed, after being trained, Zhuque was now thinking only about erotic matters.

But Wang Haoran liked it.

“Okay!”

—He initially wanted to say that.

But feeling the sudden presence of a grandmaster’s aura, Wang Haoran had to refuse.

“Zhu’er, go to Yuxiao for now. I have something to handle!”

“Eh?!” Zhuque, expecting Wang Haoran to carry her into the room, was confused.

“Young Master~ Weren’t you going to stay with Zhu’er…”

Seeing her pitiful look, Wang Haoran comforted her.

“Be good and listen! Go to Yuxiao first. I really have something important!”

“Tomorrow! I’ll come to you tomorrow! Then you can ask for anything!”

“Alright then!”

Seeing Wang Haoran truly had something urgent, Zhuque agreed.

She gave Wang Haoran a light kiss and let go.

“Young Master, I’ll wait for you~”

“Mm, don’t worry, I’ll come to you!”

Watching Zhuque enter the house, Wang Haoran moved.

The main villa of the Wang estate was close to where Wang Yuxiao and Zhuque stayed, so Wang Haoran reached it in a few steps.

He went to the second floor, in front of Ning Xueluo’s room.

As the door opened, Wang Haoran spoke.

“Luoluo!”

“Husband!!!”

Ning Xueluo, opening the door, saw Wang Haoran standing outside.

With a cry of surprise, she fell into his arms, tightly hugging him.

She rubbed her head against him.

“Husband, I missed you so much!”
