Chapter 13: The Highest Art of Wooing Women
Just a moment ago, Jiang Yunqi had been busy complaining about Chu Fei. When she finally snapped out of it, she realized that Chu Fei had just split a car in half with his bare hands. Obviously, this wasn’t something an ordinary person could do, which made her even more curious about his true identity. And the man who had thrown the car—clearly no ordinary person either.
...Could he be an assassin?
But what had Chu Fei done to attract a killer? Jiang Yunqi watched him nervously. Could he be some unrivaled powerhouse from the Dragon King’s Hall or Devil’s Island?
Not far away, the man who had acted earlier finally revealed himself. He had a square face, an imposing presence that commanded respect without anger, and a remarkable aura that set him apart from the crowd. With his hands clasped behind his back and an arrogant expression, the middle-aged man said, “It seems you have some skill. No wonder the deputy head of our martial arts hall, Li Changsheng, died at your hands, you little bastard. But now that you’ve met me—”
Boom!
Before the man could finish, he was swept away by a terrifying punch. The force obliterated both him and the wall behind him, reducing everything to dust.
How to describe it? It was all so sudden.
—One casual blow was enough to skip all the dialogue.
“What the hell was that?” Jiang Yunqi frowned. If she hadn’t been seeing things, someone had been standing there just now, right? Where had he gone? How could he just vanish?
Chu Fei, having finished it all as if nothing had happened, turned to her and said, “Come on, let’s continue our conversation from earlier.”
“Wait, where’s that guy? The one who threw the car?” Jiang Yunqi pressed.
“What guy?” Chu Fei raised an eyebrow. “Are you seeing things?”
Jiang Yunqi gestured to illustrate the man’s size. “There was a guy right here! He said something threatening, didn’t even finish his line, and then there was a boom and he was gone!”
Chu Fei shrugged. “You’d better stick to the facts. From start to finish, there were only the two of us here.”
Damn, this woman was so annoying.
She’d said no third party could know about this, and he’d complied. So why did she have to keep pressing?
“Really, just the two of us?” Jiang Yunqi began to doubt herself. “Then what about the car?”
Chu Fei glanced back at the bisected vehicle and clicked his tongue in disdain.
“Hey, say something! What’s with the tongue click?” Jiang Yunqi was on the verge of a breakdown.
Chu Fei looked at her, clenching his fist. “I’ll give you one last chance. Be good. Say you made a mistake.”
As he spoke, he was already prepared to wipe her memory. Such a pretty girl—one slap could make her cry for a long time.
So—don’t make me do something I’ll regret, in a place neither happy nor sad!
Seeing Chu Fei so serious, Jiang Yunqi decided she must have been mistaken. After all, how could a person just disappear into thin air? She must have seen wrong. He wasn’t some immortal cultivator; it wasn’t possible to punch someone out of existence!
In reality, Chu Fei had long since known that the middle-aged man was following him. Judging from the man’s last words, he was probably out for revenge. As for who he was avenging, Chu Fei had already forgotten, but it hardly mattered—he was already dead. Who cared?
Still, that guy was a fool. If you want to follow someone, why not do it quietly? Why jump out and ask for death?
Wasn’t this forcing Chu Fei to commit murder? How could someone’s intentions be so malicious—trying to taint his soul with a worthless life?
—All he lost was his life, but I’ve stained my soul!
If a stray dog on the street heard that, it would probably bark, “What a bastard—he’s a real dog!”
After calming herself, Jiang Yunqi realized she needed to make things clear with Chu Fei. She was the campus belle of Longcheng University, pursued by countless admirers. She had to choose carefully—she couldn’t just marry someone so easily. Besides, she barely knew this man; how could she know if he was worthy?
She chose her words carefully and said solemnly, “I know my grandfather signed the marriage agreement, but these days we believe in freedom to love. So I think this engagement...”
“Should be canceled,” Chu Fei interrupted.
Jiang Yunqi was stunned. “What?”
How could he steal her lines? Shouldn’t it be her breaking off the engagement, with him begging for another chance?
With her looks and figure, what man wouldn’t be captivated? How dare he!
Just as Jiang Yunqi thought he was only being stubborn, Chu Fei actually took out the marriage contract and tore it up right before her eyes.
“To be honest, I came here today just to break off the engagement. I have six more marriage contracts like this one. Anyway, I’m in a hurry to meet my next fiancée. Farewell.”
Wait—he’s picking and choosing? And why am I the first to be eliminated?
A sense of defeat welled up in Jiang Yunqi, only to quickly turn to unwillingness.
“Wait a minute! You have seven fiancées—why am I the first you’re dropping?”
Chu Fei paused, a sly smile on his lips.
This was exactly the effect he wanted.
He turned back, digging the hole deeper. “Because I go by feeling. And you just don’t feel right for me.”
“I’m not good enough for you? My legs are longer than your lifespan—I could crush you!” Jiang Yunqi was about to explode.
Never in her life had she been rejected like this, least of all by a man!
Chu Fei replied smoothly, “Jiang, happiness can’t be forced...”
“You haven’t even tried—how do you know it’s forced between us?” Jiang Yunqi slipped up, unable to stop herself. “Give me a chance. Let’s try it first. I’m not breaking the engagement yet!”
—She’d completely lost it!
“Alright, since you insist, I’ll give it a try, reluctantly,” Chu Fei said, finally baring his “fangs” to the pink-haired girl before him. “But I don’t have your contact information.”
All this had been set up for this crucial moment.
That’s what you call professionalism.
“I’ll add you!” Jiang Yunqi happily took the initiative to add him on WeChat.
Chu Fei had expected as much. For the foreseeable future, Jiang Yunqi would keep chatting with him, trying to prove her charm, refusing to leave him alone.
All Chu Fei needed to do was keep her in check, offer her the occasional compliment, and she’d be over the moon.
From the moment she added him, their relationship became unbalanced. Now, Jiang Yunqi wouldn’t feel tricked—she’d thank him for giving her the chance to prove herself.
This was the highest art of seduction—let the girl chase you!
Of course, it required the right conditions.
In short, from the moment he met Jiang Yunqi, Chu Fei had planned everything.
After Jiang Yunqi added him on WeChat, Chu Fei didn’t accept right away. Instead, he found an excuse to leave Longcheng University.
Today, his third senior sister and Secretary Jin were both busy settling the Ouyang family’s affairs. Only Shen Miaoyu was left at home—time for a return assault. After last night, he could hardly wait!
