CHAPTER 786: CHAPTER 786

"Ah..."

A pig-slaughtering shriek erupted from the man’s mouth as he convulsed on the ground, narrowly avoiding passing out.

The faces of those nearby were ghastly to behold.

He was ruthless with his strikes, not showing any mercy. How daring of him!

Su Lei was thrilled, feeling so good protected by a man.

Her friendship with Xu Qianli wasn’t very deep, barely considering each other friends, yet Xu Qianli fought for her, beating that guy like a dog. It was exhilarating.

However, the other party didn’t seem ordinary, being called ’Young Master Luo’. He probably had some significant background.

Worried, Su Lei quickly tugged on Xu Qianli’s sleeve, "He’s awake now, he has suffered enough, let’s spare him and get out of here quickly."

A man in a red and white checkered shirt shouted loudly, "You beat Young Master Luo and think you can just leave? Dream on! Do you think you can offend someone like him, let alone beat him? This isn’t over until you give us an explanation!"

"What do you mean by ’it isn’t over’?" Xu Qianli glared at the man in the checkered shirt, "Go on, tell me, let me understand."

Hiss...

Feeling Xu Qianli’s stare, the man felt uncomfortable all over. He instinctively stepped back, intentionally creating some distance from Xu Qianli.

That guy had struck Young Master Luo ruthlessly just now, and now his gaze was even more murderous and chilling to the bone.

Too scary to provoke, this man was definitely a fierce character, truly not someone to mess with.

The man in the checkered shirt shut his mouth, not daring to rant any further or continue threatening Xu Qianli.

No one else dared make a sound either, especially after seeing Xu Qianli’s ferocious vigor. They all refrained from stirring any trouble with him.

With a sneer, Xu Qianli glanced over the bystanders as if looking at dead dogs, took Su Lei’s hand, got into his car, and drove away.

Watching Xu Qianli leave, the man in the checkered shirt finally recovered, speaking hurriedly, "Quick, take Young Master Luo to the hospital. And call the Luo Family, tell them what happened so they can handle it and take care of that guy. Note down his license plate and inform the Luo Family immediately. We can’t let him get away with this!"

Driving away, Xu Qianli glanced at Su Lei who was sitting in the passenger seat.

She was undeniably a great beauty, with an excellent figure, and her current outfit was particularly eye-catching.

Sitting there quietly, she exuded an aura of intellectual elegance, which was very charming.

Perhaps intentionally, Su Lei thrust out her already ample chest, the buttons on her shirt strained tight, seeming like they could burst open at any moment revealing her "treasures".

Her skirt hugged her buttocks tightly, and her legs, sheathed in black stockings, were even more pleasing to the eye—firm, tight, and shapely.

Not surprisingly, such a stunning beauty attracted many lustful stares on the street.

"Can I look at my legs?" Su Lei suddenly asked.

"They’re beautiful! Naturally pretty, and with black stockings, they’re really eye-catching and very sexy, absolutely top-notch."

Xu Qianli didn’t even need to think before he answered. A more inexperienced guy might have blushed and stammered at her comment, but not someone like him, who had been through numerous romantic entanglements.

Su Lei revealed a smile, "You really don’t know how to be polite, aren’t you afraid I’ll get angry if you talk like that?"

Xu Qianli said, "I am complimenting you, how could you possibly get angry. By the way, what suddenly brings you to Wangdong Province, are you on a business trip?"

"Not a business trip, I’m here to hide from a jerk," Su Lei replied.

Talking about it, a trace of bitterness and impatience surfaced between her brows.

Xu Qianli asked, "Who, your boyfriend?"

Su Lei replied, "My husband."

"You have a husband? I hadn’t heard you were married."

The Su Lei from the provincial station, Xu Qianli had some understanding of her, wasn’t it said that she was still single? How could a husband suddenly appear?

Su Lei said, "I’ve actually been married for a while now, my husband is a real estate developer. The reason it wasn’t made public is that the leaders at the station think it might affect the show’s ratings since most of my audience is male. News programs attract more male viewers."

Xu Qianli remarked, "So it’s the legendary secret marriage. You came all the way to Wangdong Province just to hide from him, could it be there’s some trouble in your relationship? Did you catch him messing around with other women?"

"If that were the case, it wouldn’t really matter. With money, men always have beautiful women around, his life has always been like that, and I don’t care. The reason I’m avoiding him is because of something else he wants."

Halfway through speaking, Su Lei suddenly stopped, seemingly unable to continue, because that matter was too shameful for her to talk about.

Xu Qianli gave her a sympathetic look, "If you don’t want to talk about it, don’t. Everyone has their own domestic troubles. But after all, he is your husband, constantly avoiding him isn’t a solution, and what about your job? If you keep putting it off, what if someone else takes your place?"

"I know this isn’t right, perpetually hiding really isn’t a solution, but I truly have no other choice."

"Alright, I won’t hide from you, you’re a good person. I knew you were a good person the first time I met you, so I’ll just tell you my situation. My husband’s company has been facing some troubles recently. He’s been trying to land a big project that could bring in thirty million in profit. The company owner’s wife laid out a condition, the business can be his, but I need to spend three nights with her. My husband, for the sake of business, actually – actually pressured me to sleep with the company owner."

Thoroughly, Su Lei shared her current situation.

Speaking of this, she felt both embarrassed and furious.

Just for money, her husband was actually pressuring her to sleep around, which she couldn’t accept.

She hadn’t planned on telling anyone, but Xu Qianli had saved her, giving her a sense of security and even dependency for a moment, so she ended up spilling it out.

Releasing those thoughts hidden in her heart, speaking about such matters, Su Lei felt a relief.

It felt so good having someone to confide in.

Xu Qianli sharply turned to Su Lei, "What, your husband is forcing you to sleep with another man?"

Such a sexy and well-known beauty, it was inconceivable her husband would let other men touch her, let alone sleep with her.

Conducting business outside, willing to sacrifice his wife just to secure a deal, such a man was truly despicable.

Suddenly feeling aggrieved, Su Lei’s nose tinged sour, she turned to Xu Qianli, her eyes brimming with tears, "Xu Qianli, tell me, would you let your wife sleep with another man for thirty million?"

Xu Qianli pulled the car over to the roadside and took Su Lei’s hand, "Don’t even say I’m currently well off, even if I were poor and starving, I would never let my wife sleep with another man!"
