Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 538 - 519: Who Should Take the Detour

Before meeting Lu Huan Ning again, Lin Banxia made a trip to a store. As soon as she entered, she asked the shopkeeper, "Do you sell those anti-wolf stun batons here?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a friendly smile. "We do, miss. Someone as pretty as you definitely needs something for self-defense."

"Get me one!" Lin Banxia paid for it, stashed the stun baton into her bag, and headed out again, taking a ride to the café where Lu Huan Ning had arranged to meet her.

In a private booth on the second floor, Lin Banxia spotted Lu Huan Ning. She was wearing sunglasses, exuding the aura of a diva.

Seeing Lin Banxia approach, Lu Huan Ning took off her sunglasses and angrily confronted her, "Lin Banxia, tell me—did you make Huo Qinglin break up with me? Am I right?"

Lin Banxia kept her face expressionless, looking at her calmly. "What does that have to do with me?"

"Oh, cut the act! Is Huo Qinglin rekindling old feelings for you now? Did he confess to you?!" Lu Huan Ning became even more agitated as she saw Lin Banxia’s indifferent attitude.

Lin Banxia raised her eyebrows and gave a smirk. "And what if he did? Didn’t you snatch him away from me before? So, if I take him back, what’s the problem?"

Annoyed by Lu Huan Ning’s accusatory tone, Lin Banxia deliberately said something provocative to rile her up.

"I never imagined you’d be such a vile woman. What kind of tricks did you use to win Huo Qinglin back?" Lu Huan Ning’s gaze swept over Lin Banxia, noticing how much more radiant she looked recently. Her flawless, milky skin now seemed even smoother and more supple. Her fuller figure and the glow on her face were enough to inspire jealousy.

What’s more, Lin Banxia’s fashion sense had significantly improved. Dressed head-to-toe in luxury designer brands, she carried herself with an air of elegance and refinement that gave off an undeniable sense of opulence.

In the past, Lu Huan Ning used to ridicule her for being a country bumpkin. But now, she didn’t even have the confidence to compete with Lin Banxia.

In terms of luxury clothing, she simply couldn’t compare. The handbag Lin Banxia casually carried was worth more than her entire outfit combined.

Lin Banxia sneered. "Maybe he’s just a masochist. When I liked him, he barely spared me a glance. Now that I don’t like him anymore, perhaps his ego feels bruised, so he’s turned around and decided he likes me. Why don’t you give my method a try? Go off and throw some cold sarcasm at Huo Qinglin from head to toe. Who knows? Maybe he’ll fall back in love with you too."

"Save me these cheap tricks, Lin Banxia. You really have all the luck in the world, don’t you? About to become the great young mistress of the Huo Family." Lu Huan Ning was furious—yet consumed by jealousy.

"Oh, now that you mention it, it almost slipped my mind. Didn’t you once call me and tell me that when you become the Huo Family’s second young mistress, I’d better steer clear whenever I see you? So now what? Since I’m about to become the Huo Family’s great young mistress, shouldn’t *you* be the one detouring around *me*?" Lin Banxia threw Lu Huan Ning’s own words back at her, leaving her stifled and red-faced.

The remark hit Lu Huan Ning hard. Back then, she truly believed she was destined to become the Huo Family’s second young mistress.

But now, it had all been ruined by Lin Banxia. How could she not be livid?

Seeing Lu Huan Ning’s ashen face and her inability to retort, Lin Banxia said lightly, "What’s the matter? Can’t even live up to your own words?"

"Lin Banxia, are you pregnant?" Lu Huan Ning suddenly stepped forward, standing directly in front of her. "You’re pregnant, aren’t you? And that’s why the Huo Family’s elders have accepted you like this."

Lin Banxia felt her nerves tighten. She frowned. "Who told you that?"

"I guessed!" Lu Huan Ning shot back, then suddenly grabbed a nearby chair. "Tell me—if your child were gone, do you think the Huo Family would still recognize you?"
