Chapter 140: Chapter 142: Fighting Over Su Luoluo (Part 1)

Having dealt with the big trouble that was Su Nuannuan, Su Luoluo was in a particularly good mood today.

She was even humming a song on her way back.

She had suspected Su Nuannuan might tamper with the salt, but she hadn’t expected her to find an opportunity despite such strict precautions.

’I have to admit, she’s pretty capable.’

’Her mental fortitude was a little weak, though.’

All it took was one round of psychological warfare, and she completely gave herself away.

If she had just kept her cool, she might have gotten away with it today.

Still, Su Luoluo had many questions.

Like how she’d managed it.

’Looks like I’ll only get answers by asking her directly.’

’But why was Su Nuannuan’s face covered in so many blemishes?’

As Su Luoluo mulled this over, her mind on the blemishes on Su Nuannuan’s face, she sank down onto the beast skin covers without thinking.

Just as she settled in, her waist was suddenly pulled tight, and a pair of scorching hot hands wrapped firmly around her from behind.

Su Luoluo’s train of thought snapped, and her body stiffened. She carefully turned her head and asked, "Who is it?"

The person didn’t answer. One hand simply let go and began to roam over her back.

A tingling warmth instantly spread from her spine, accompanied by a trace of a chilly aura.

Su Luoluo’s tense body relaxed in an instant. She let out a breath, swatting at the hand clamped around her waist. "Xiao Ye, let go of me."

Xiao Ye chuckled lightly, his lips brushing against Su Luoluo’s ear. "Not bad, you can still recognize me. I was starting to think you were so dazzled by Nantu today that you wouldn’t even know who I am anymore."

Su Luoluo: "..."

’He’s so jealous.’

She’d had a long day and was in no mood to deal with him.

She tried to jab him with her elbow and get up, but Xiao Ye caught her hands, pulling her into his embrace and lowering his head for a kiss.

Just then, a RUSTLE came from the window, and a figure tumbled down from above, landing right in front of Su Luoluo.

He grinned at Su Luoluo. "Su Luoluo, I’m here."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Xiao Ye holding Su Luoluo tightly, the two of them looking very intimate.

His smile vanished instantly, and he glared at Xiao Ye. "What are you doing here?"

Xiao Ye shot him a sidelong glance and retorted, "And what are you doing here?"

’Why shouldn’t I be here? Su Luoluo sent me signals all day. Wasn’t it an arrangement?’

’He, on the other hand, wanted to ask Xiao Ye why he was horning in on his time.’

’To think that the wonderful night that should have belonged to him and Su Luoluo had been preempted by Xiao Ye, who looked like he was just about to make his move!’

Fu Feng’s anger flared. "Why can’t I be here? I should be asking why *you’re* here! Su Luoluo and I have an arrangement."

"An arrangement with Su Luoluo?" Xiao Ye paused and gave Su Luoluo a meaningful look.

Su Luoluo looked just as surprised.

’Wait, when did I make plans with Fu Feng? No, what plans did I even make with him?’

Seeing Su Luoluo’s clueless expression, Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow. "Do people with arrangements need to climb through windows?"

The remark was dripping with sarcasm, especially coming from the man holding the female Fu Feng had come for.

Fu Feng knocked aside the hand Xiao Ye was using to restrain Su Luoluo, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "What do you know? It’s called creating a mood."

’What’s the fun of using the front door? Everyone would know.’

’He hadn’t forgotten the last time, when Su Luoluo was with Mo Xuan. The others found out, and they had to end things abruptly.’

’He was determined to keep the others in the dark so he and Su Luoluo could have some proper time alone.’

Caught off guard by Fu Feng’s sudden shove, Xiao Ye loosened his grip, and Su Luoluo seized the opportunity to wriggle free from his embrace.

Finding his arms empty, Xiao Ye’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo ignored him, patted herself down, and stood up.

Seeing Su Luoluo actively break free from Xiao Ye’s embrace, Fu Feng’s face lit up. "Luoluo, there’s a stinky snake in this room. Let’s go somewhere else!"

Su Luoluo gave Fu Feng a strange look. "Go somewhere else? Where would we go? This is my room."

Before Fu Feng could open his mouth, Xiao Ye sneered, "And here I thought you were so sure of yourself. Looks like Su Luoluo is completely clueless about your ’arrangement’."

"What do you mean, clueless?"

Fu Feng glared at Xiao Ye, then turned to Su Luoluo with a gentle expression. "Luoluo, don’t listen to him. We already discussed it during the day. How about we go to my Parasol Tree Wood? It’s a bit high, but it offers its own unique thrill."

"What arrangement? What did I possibly arrange with you?" Su Luoluo was utterly baffled as she looked at him.

Fu Feng started to get flustered. "How could you not know about our date?"

"But you’re the one who set it up with me!"

Su Luoluo frowned. "When did I do that?"

"During the day! Don’t you remember? You looked at me several times."

Su Luoluo stood there racking her brain, but she couldn’t think of any time she had sent Fu Feng that kind of signal.

"You must have misunderstood. I never sent you any kind of invitation."

Xiao Ye, who was listening from the side, started laughing. "Fu Feng, so this is the ’date’ you were talking about? Sounds to me like you were just flattering yourself."

Fu Feng’s face flushed crimson. "Su Luoluo, why won’t you admit it? You clearly made an arrangement with me."

"Then tell me, how exactly did I make this arrangement?"

"When you saw the cleaned pig, you stared right at me for a long time."

Su Luoluo: "..."

Su Luoluo could have racked her brains all day and never imagined that just by looking at Fu Feng for a second longer, he could misunderstand things so completely.

’Is he sure *he’s* not the one overthinking things?’

She looked at him, speechless. "I just thought the pig was very clean. I probably glanced at you because you’re known for being neat." ℴℴ𝘮

’How could this be? Su Luoluo’s eyes had been so gentle then. It made him feel like she was sending an invitation meant only for him.’

By now, Xiao Ye couldn’t hold back and roared with laughter, even doubling over.

"This is truly the best joke I’ve heard all day. Fu Feng, how did I never realize how hilarious you are?"

Realizing he had made a fool of himself, Fu Feng was already embarrassed. Now, being laughed at by Xiao Ye, he flew into a rage out of shame and glared at him. "You shut up! Even so, Su Luoluo should be with me today."

’The others had all had their turn. By any logic, it should be his turn now.’

Xiao Ye’s laughing face instantly turned sharp. He crossed his arms and looked at Fu Feng, scoffing, "Who says she should be with you? Today, she’s supposed to be mine."
