CHAPTER 44: CHAPTER 42: LUO BING LIKES SOMEONE

"Heh, kid, in a moment I won’t just break your arm, I’ll smash your head..."

Situ Xin cruelly stated.

"This kid’s done for, daring to punch it out with Situ Xin. Situ Xin’s punch weighs in at 300 pounds, once they clash, that kid’s entire arm will definitely be shattered."

"Hmph, he brought it on himself, trying to show off in front of a woman without even seeing who his opponent is?"

Those onlookers nearby all believed at this moment that after Ye Qiu and Situ Xin clashed, Ye Qiu’s arm would inevitably be shattered.

Even Situ Xin himself was filled with intense confidence, never once taking Ye Qiu seriously from start to finish.

Bam.

Situ Xin’s fist collided with Ye Qiu’s fist, making a ’bam’ sound.

"It’s over, it’s over, Ye Qiu’s arm must be broken..." Wang Xinrui couldn’t bear to look, closing her eyes and shaking her head in agony, while tears streamed down her face.

Ye Qiu did it all for her, and that’s why his arm is broken...

Crack...

The sound of a bone fracturing rang out, causing Wang Xinrui to convulse and collapse to the ground.

"Ye Qiu, I, Wang Xinrui, owe you. If you’re paralyzed in bed for the rest of your life, I, Wang Xinrui, will take care of you forever."

"Ah..."

At this moment, a cry of pain reached Wang Xinrui’s ears, freezing her trembling body in place.

"Huh? This sound doesn’t seem like Ye Qiu’s, it sounds like Situ Xin’s?..."

Wang Xinrui slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw that it was actually Situ Xin flying down the stairs, lying on the ground clutching his arm and wailing in pain, she was momentarily shocked, covering her mouth.

Then she shifted her gaze to the back of Ye Qiu standing in front of her, feeling for a moment that this young boy’s silhouette was incredibly towering.

"He, he..." Wang Xinrui, like the others who were previously mocking Ye Qiu and thought his arm would definitely shatter, was too shocked to speak.

All at once, people stared at the gentle-featured young man standing there, filled with astonishment.

As for Ye Qiu, who punched Situ Xin into the air, he was at this moment frowning at his own fist, shaking his head and silently thinking to himself, "I clearly only used fifty percent of my strength, yet I still managed to send Situ Xin flying so miserably."

Ye Qiu knew about Situ Xin’s background and understood the Situ Family in Shangjing. He knew the Situ Family was a colossal entity, so he didn’t want to provoke them, hence he had held back at the critical moment.

But unexpectedly, even holding back sent Situ Xin flying, with his arm completely shattered. Stuck in place, Ye Qiu pondered what to do if the Situ Family came to trouble him over this incident.

...

Meanwhile, just as the conflict between Ye Qiu and Situ Xin was unfolding, Luo Bing, who had been called by her father for a talk, was crying angrily in her father Luo Yun’s room.

Luo Yun, dressed in a casual suit with meticulously groomed hair, still looked handsome from when he was young.

Looking at his heartbroken daughter Luo Bing, Luo Yun frowned deeply. He glanced at Situ Yang, who was also frowning and silent, then said sternly to Luo Bing, "Luo Bing, be reasonable, will you? You’ve known your brother Situ Yang since childhood, growing up together as childhood sweethearts, and didn’t you say you wanted to marry him when you grew up? So why do you object now when I want you to marry him?"

Luo Bing, who was crying, heard her father Luo Yun’s words and glanced at Situ Yang, who was looking at her with puzzlement.

She wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I did say I liked brother Situ Yang when I was young and wanted to marry him when I grew up, but that was when I was young. Now I’ve grown up, I, I..."

"Bing’Er, do you have someone you like?"

Situ Yang looked tenderly at the tear-streaked and pitifully charming Luo Bing.

Luo Bing was stunned by Situ Yang’s words.

"Do I have someone I like?" For some reason, Ye Qiu’s image suddenly appeared in Luo Bing’s mind.

"Could it be that I’ve fallen for him?" Luo Bing’s face flushed a little red, and she kept her head down, saying nothing.

Seeing Luo Bing’s expression, Situ Yang nodded, a hint of regret in his eyes. Then he turned to the stern-faced Luo Yun and said, "Uncle, since Bing’Er has someone she likes, we shouldn’t force her!"

Upon hearing Situ Yang’s words, joy appeared on Luo Bing’s face as she looked at him.

Situ Yang gave her a slight smile, then said, "But you have to tell me who the person you like is; I want to see where he’s better than me, Situ Yang."

Luo Bing’s expression changed at his words.

And Luo Yun also looked at Luo Bing, saying, "Do you really have someone you like?"

Luo Bing glanced at her father, then at Situ Yang, and after a long hesitation, nodded, "Yes..."

Hearing Luo Bing’s words, Luo Yun looked at Situ Yang and sighed.

He originally wanted to return to Shangjing with Situ Yang and reintegrate into the Luo Family, believing his daughter liked Situ Yang. But things turned out differently.

However, since his daughter had someone she loved and seeing Luo Bing’s heartbroken face, his heart softened, and he said, "Alright, since you have someone you like, I won’t force you, but you need to tell me who that person is."

Luo Bing, seeing her father and Situ Yang both asking who it was, tightly pursed her lips and clenched her delicate fists.

She herself wasn’t sure if she truly liked Ye Qiu, and at present, her feelings towards Ye Qiu were merely different from her feelings for other boys.

"What should I do? Should I tell them about Ye Qiu? How should I face Ye Qiu if I do? And I don’t even know what Ye Qiu thinks." Luo Bing was caught in a dilemma.

Just then, Situ Yang’s phone rang. After a brief conversation, he stared at Luo Bing in shock. "Luo Bing, that classmate of yours, Ye Qiu, broke my brother Situ Xin’s arm. Let’s go down and take a look."

"What? Ye, Ye Qiu actually broke Situ Xin’s arm?" Luo Bing couldn’t believe it.

Situ Yang could hardly believe it either, but with the urgency of the situation, he moved to leave, and Luo Bing, worried about any danger to Ye Qiu, hurried to follow him.

But after a moment’s thought, she considered what to do if Situ Yang tried to harm Ye Qiu and she couldn’t stop him, so she said to Luo Yun, "Dad, that Ye Qiu, who broke Situ Xin’s arm, is the one I like. Come with me and see..."

Luo Yun was stunned by her words, nearly falling from his chair, and then looked at his daughter’s serious face, feeling like the world was spinning.

He wanted to latch onto the towering tree of Situ’s family, only to find his daughter had chosen to chop it down by liking someone else...

Who can he reason with about this...

Yet seeing Luo Bing’s anxious expression, Luo Yun sighed and followed her downstairs.
