CHAPTER 247: 245, OH MY GOD, WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY MOM?

Luofeng walked into the barbecue joint.

He immediately spotted Lu Yaqing wearing sunglasses. Her long, fragrant hair. That perfect figure. How could anyone not notice her at first glance?

This lamb skewer joint had long tables. The little assistant and the second female lead, Zhao Luna, were sitting together, which left the seat beside Lu Yaqing vacant.

"Over here!" Lu Yaqing waved when she saw Luofeng.

"Coming!" Luofeng quickly made his way over and sat next to Lu Yaqing.

He glanced at the WUSU Beer on the table. Was Lu Yaqing showing off again? The lethal WUSU Beer?

Luofeng knew very well that this time the investment was progressing smoothly. The filming was successful, and profits were certain, especially since the trailer had already built up audience anticipation. So, Luofeng thought that perhaps Lu Yaqing wanted to repay the investment in a different way.

"I’ll skip the alcohol; I’m just here for some late-night snacks," Luofeng volunteered.

"PFFT!"

At the next table, a guy spat out his drink.

It was a classic case of some having all the luck while others had none. The four men at the next table had been surreptitiously glancing at Lu Yaqing’s group. They had initially guessed the three women were waiting for a close girlfriend, but then a man showed up?

So what if this damn guy showed up? He wasn’t even drinking? Claiming he was just there for late-night snacks. What was wrong with the world? Was this guy trying to protect himself? If it were one of them, they’d definitely open up, be sincere, and not so guarded.

Lu Yaqing also smiled as she looked at Luofeng. "Same here, just some late-night snacks for me!"

"Oh, please! Don’t you know your own terrible alcohol tolerance?" Luofeng teased without hesitation. He remembered the last time they drank; Lu Yaqing had deliberately tested him. But could I admit I knew she was testing me? I had to keep pretending she was drunk and then not make a move on her. That’s what a good man does.

Yang Sisi couldn’t help but chuckle. So, Luofeng really believed Lu Yaqing had low alcohol tolerance? Such an innocent, good guy—truly lovable.

Shortly after, grilled lamb skewers, large kidneys, grilled ribs, beef skewers, axe lamb chops, and more were served. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, it was indescribably good.

The group chatted while eating.

Lu Yaqing proactively revealed, "Mr. Luo, your investment this time should yield a very good return. All the actors delivered solid performances, and there were hardly any awkward scenes. The trailer has also received a really positive response online."

How could Luofeng not be aware of this? Although he didn’t show much concern outwardly, he would still check out the trailer. This investment had the potential for a one to five times return on profit for Luofeng. He hoped to make tens of millions and then get a fivefold multiplier on that; that would be amazing. Besides, he’d invested because Lu Yaqing was a 95-point beauty. Of course, Luofeng had to invest in her. It’s because Luofeng was such a good guy. Good guys like him were truly rare these days. He invested five million, didn’t ask her out, and wouldn’t even actively hit on her. Definitely a good guy.

A very simple late-night meal of coconut milk, herbal tea, and some skewers lasted about an hour.

Luofeng returned to his hotel early to rest. After all, he had to meet Bai Ningbing the next day.

Come to think of it, Luofeng hadn’t seen Bai Ningbing in over a month. He missed those days in Shanghai, strolling hand in hand with the long-legged campus belle every day.

「A night passed without incident.」

A good guy naturally wouldn’t pay attention to those little cards offering escort services. This was a time to lay low and bide his time. How could he let those little cards sap his energy?

After National Day, there would be back-to-back BO5 matches every day. Why BO5? Don’t ask Luofeng. Go ask Little Fairy and Duanmu Yunji. They knew Luofeng’s ’games’ always involved an initial two rounds, followed by three more. Wasn’t that a BO5? For such high-intensity ’competitions,’ Luofeng resolved that he definitely needed to lay low and conserve his energy!

...

...

The next morning, at six o’clock, Luofeng got out of bed. He then pretended to send Bai Ningbing a message: "Ningbing, shall we have breakfast together this morning?"

Luofeng acted as if he were still in Jingzhou.

"..."

Bai Ningbing was also up early, but she hadn’t gotten out of bed yet. She was quite speechless at being asked for breakfast at six in the morning.

"Nope, I’m taking Mom to the canteen. You can eat by yourself. We’ll meet at the school gate later."

Bai Ningbing messaged back, "You’re up so early. You didn’t stay up all night playing LOL, did you?"

"Yeah, that’s right. I didn’t invite you because you’re terrible at it."

Bai Ningbing rolled her eyes and sent a pouting voice message, "Fine, don’t invite me then."

"Alright, I was just kidding. How could I possibly play games all night? Wait for me; see you there."

After Luofeng sent that, he immediately grabbed some bread and milk from the hotel and dashed to the airport.

「At nine o’clock」

Luofeng pretended to leave his Jingzhou hotel and head towards Jingzhou Second University.

"Ningbing, have you guys arrived? I’m almost there!" Luofeng sent the message.

It’s a good thing I’m young. Otherwise, all this flying back and forth would be exhausting. I really wouldn’t be able to take it.

"Yes, yes, we’re already here. Mom and I are at the main entrance. You’ll see us when you get here," Bai Ningbing replied.

The logic was sound. With Bai Ningbing being a stunning 95-point beauty, how could Luofeng possibly miss her when he arrived?

In less than two minutes, Luofeng arrived at the university entrance and discovered a serious problem.

Had Bai Ningbing tricked him? Yes. She definitely had.

Luofeng did see Bai Ningbing, but where was her mother?

This was hilarious! She was probably afraid Luofeng would try something, so she said her mother was coming, right?

At that moment, Bai Ningbing was wearing the ivory-white Louis Vuitton long dress Luofeng had bought for her. Looking at her profile, he found Bai Ningbing incredibly beautiful.

This Bai Ningbing—feisty when provoked, but otherwise gentle, demure, and an elegant goddess—was stunning from every angle.

Besides, women often become much gentler once they’re in a relationship.

Luofeng cautiously approached, planning to teach Bai Ningbing a lesson.

How dare she deceive me? This time, I’ll make her pay the price in blood!

Approaching from behind, Luofeng began, a smirk in his voice, "Alright, Ningbing, you dare to deceive... deceive..."

Wait a minute. This person... doesn’t look like Bai Ningbing, does she? Damn it!!!

In that instant, Luofeng felt the world spin.
