The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 497 - 461: Teasing the Child

Lu Muyao originally wanted to leave to find Lu Mengyi.

But when he left the banquet hall, his phone rang.

He stood under the hallway and took the call.

After the call ended and he wanted to leave, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Young Master Lu."

Lu Muyao paused in his steps, turned around, and looked at the woman walking toward him.

"Young Master Lu." Xu Jingjing stopped in front of him and called him again.

Lu Muyao looked at her, paused, and said, "You are..."

He hasn’t lived in the Capital City for a long time.

He would only stay there when he wasn’t in school.

He only had a general understanding of the Capital City. He didn’t pay attention to specific people, especially those he deemed unimportant, nor did he remember them.

"My last name is Xu," Xu Jingjing said.

Today there was only one Xu Family, and after learning her identity, Lu Muyao’s expression didn’t change. Coldly and distantly, he asked, "Is there something you need?"

"I came but haven’t seen Sister Lu yet. Do you know where she is?" Xu Jingjing asked.

"Why are you looking for my sister?" Lu Muyao asked.

Xu Jingjing looked at him, smiled, and said, "It’s nothing. Since I haven’t seen her, I’d like Young Master Lu to pass a message for me."

Lu Muyao didn’t say anything, gesturing for her to continue.

Xu Jingjing said, "Sister Lu is kind-hearted and good to everyone. I just want to remind her not to be deceived. Some people..."

Lu Muyao interrupted her directly, "Who are some people?"

Xu Jingjing paused her voice, then lowered it and said, "Who else could it be? It’s obviously Mrs. Gu."

Lu Muyao looked at her.

Xu Jingjing continued, "Qiao Yuxian isn’t a simple person. Otherwise, how could she marry Gu Yanjing? She has plenty of dirty tricks. Some things, Sister Lu doesn’t mind, but she wouldn’t appreciate Sister Lu’s kindness. You must remind Sister Lu to be careful and not let her kindness be exploited. Don’t let others step on her to climb up."

"Are you done?" Lu Muyao said.

"Yes." Xu Jingjing nodded, "I just feel sorry for Sister Lu, being robbed..."

"Mind your own business." Lu Muyao interrupted her again, "You don’t need to worry about my sister’s affairs."

Xu Jingjing’s expression froze, the malice on her face almost impossible to hide, as she looked at Lu Muyao.

"If you have a grudge against someone, settle it yourself. Don’t drag my sister into it, don’t use her as a tool," Lu Muyao finished speaking and left directly.

Xu Jingjing watched his departing figure, her eyes revealing more and more darkness.

Moments later, she heard footsteps behind her, lightly breathed in, and turned to look at the man behind her.

"Sister, I told you, it’s useless." Xu Heng said.

"Who said it’s useless?" Xu Jingjing smiled and said, "This Young Master Lu doesn’t care about anyone. The only one he cares about is Lu Mengyi. Who said a single word doesn’t matter? I just need to plant a seed in his mind, and this Qiao Yuxian will become his thorn."

"Will it?" Xu Heng said.

Xu Jingjing glanced at him and said, "Do you have a better idea?"

"Sister, do you really dislike her that much?" Xu Heng asked.

"It’s not just dislike; I want her to disappear," Xu Jingjing said.

"Is it necessary?" Xu Heng said.

Xu Jingjing’s face turned dark, "If you can’t help, then get lost. Don’t be in my way."

Xu Heng smiled and said, "Got it. Help, help, help. Still got mad."

...

Lu Muyao went to find Lu Mengyi.

Halfway there, he happened to run into Lu Mengyi.

Not only Lu Mengyi was there, but also Qiao Yuxian.

The two walked side by side, chatting as they walked.

Lu Mengyi wore a light blue long dress that suited her cool temperament, with her hair pinned up with a simple wooden hairpin, blending a strong aura with her cool demeanor.

Qiao Yuxian also wore a bluish lavender dress, but hers was more gentle and elegant. Her hair was down, slightly wavy, and had a diamond hairpin on the left side above her ear.

Elegance mixed with a subtle, sophisticated allure.

Even though she conveyed a gentle demeanor, standing next to Lu Mengyi, her aura wasn’t inferior at all.

"Muyao?" Lu Mengyi saw him and said.

Lu Muyao stood before the two. He glanced at Qiao Yuxian, ignored her, but turned his head and obediently addressed Lu Mengyi, "Sister."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

She clearly felt this boy’s hostility toward her; just now his gaze was filled with disdain.

A very proud young man.

But he turned obediently to call his sister.

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow and asked Lu Mengyi, "Your brother?"

"Mm." Lu Mengyi introduced, "Lu Muyao. This is Miss Qiao, the wife of Mr. Gu."

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

Lu Muyao glanced at her again, a casual glance, saying nothing.

"Muyao." Lu Mengyi called him once more.

Lu Muyao looked at her, then unwillingly and perfunctorily greeted Qiao Yuxian, "Miss Qiao."

Qiao Yuxian curled her lips, said nothing, but instead complimented Lu Mengyi, "Your brother is handsome."

Lu Mengyi gave a faint smile, "So impolite."

"It’s fine. For his looks, I won’t mind." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Humph." Lu Muyao snorted.

Lu Mengyi glanced at him again.

He became obedient once more.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled, thinking: so obedient.

"Anything you need?" Lu Mengyi asked Lu Muyao.

"Nothing important." Lu Muyao said, "Just came to take a look."

Qiao Yuxian listened, thinking: still a brat who likes to find his sister.

Lu Muyao hadn’t planned to say anything but suddenly noticed the way Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

That gaze treating him like a little brother greatly annoyed him.

Only his sister could look at him in that way.

Nobody else!

Lu Muyao said, "Sister, someone just told me to be careful of her."

Lu Mengyi looked at him and then at Qiao Yuxian again.

Qiao Yuxian met her gaze briefly, then looked at Lu Muyao and said, "Oh, speaking ill of me right in front of me."

Seeing her calm demeanor, Lu Muyao became even angrier, "Sister, they say she’s not a good person and told you to stay away from her."

"Muyao, you..." Lu Mengyi’s voice was more stern than before.

She didn’t finish her sentence as Qiao Yuxian held her wrist.

She lowered her eyes to look at her hand, and didn’t say the rest.

Qiao Yuxian said, "Who’s so perceptive, quickly spotting that I’m not a good person."

Lu Mengyi looked at her.

Her expression didn’t change, but she smiled helplessly inside.

She had precisely grasped Lu Muyao’s temperament, so calm and unbothered, which would thoroughly infuriate him.

Sure enough, Lu Muyao was still young, frowning as he looked at her.

The steady aura showed signs of cracking.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t plan to let him off easily. Since he didn’t acknowledge her, she teased him relentlessly, "I’m really not a good person; you must tell Miss Lu to be extremely cautious. Otherwise, one day, I’ll just take her to my house."

Lu Mengyi chuckled, listening to her tease the kid.

The kid fell for it.

Furiously annoyed.

Then, Qiao Yuxian delivered a killing blow to the brotherly sibling.

"If she comes to my house, your sister won’t want you anymore." Qiao Yuxian taunted.
