Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Tang Tianyi finally gave Luo Qianqian a piece of ’Peppermint Candy’, then put another piece in his own mouth before taking out a new pack of cigarettes.

The cigarette box was just an ordinary one, but when he opened it, there were only three cigarettes inside, not nearly enough to share.

Tang Tianyi calmly lit a cigarette, took a puff, then just held it in his hand, letting it burn slowly.

Luo Qianqian leaned lazily on Tang Tianyi’s shoulder, looking at the two of them with a slight curve of her lips: "You called us here just to watch you stroke thighs? Got nothing better?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The implication being she was busy, and whatever they wanted had to be quick since she had another event to attend.

Yi Muhuan fiercely grabbed a handful of Sun Xuan’s leg meat, causing Sun Xuan’s face to twist in pain for a moment, but she still held back from making a sound, emitting only a muted groan in such an environment that wouldn’t be too noticeable.

But then again, Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi were not ordinary people, naturally they caught that cry of pain.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Yi Muhuan provocatively smirked: "Back then I chased you, you didn’t want me. Now you’ve found this Pretty Boy?"

It wasn’t really Tang Tianyi’s fault, the benefits of Cleansing Marrow sometimes showed like this in men... a Pretty Boy.

"You’re ugly." Luo Qianqian said calmly and pointed at Tang Tianyi with a smile: "Him, not only is he good-looking, he speaks well, has a nice voice, is physically strong, and has great assets." Luo Qianqian pronounced every word distinctly, without a hint of a young lady’s shyness.

Tang Tianyi’s hand holding the cigarette visibly shifted, showing he was affected by her words.

After Luo Qianqian finished speaking, she blushed a little, but still leaned happily in Tang Tianyi’s arms, acting shy as she looked at Yi Muhuan: "As for you, you’re not good-looking, and your personality isn’t great either, you don’t even know how to beseech someone — why should I choose you?"

If Yi Muhuan had been as good at pretending as in the past life, who knows how she might have chosen?

Yet in this life, at their first meeting, his fate was already sealed.

Actions, when nothing is known, are expressions of the heart.

If I had known you would turn out like this today, would I have acted that way back then?

Yi Muhuan was filled with resentment but could only curse silently in his heart. Not to mention that Luo Qianqian had the Luo Family behind her, even if she didn’t, he wouldn’t dare easily act rashly now; he had to get by, he couldn’t risk his hard-earned status over a casual impulse.

At that time he was too young to even think about potential stocks. It’s too late for regrets now.

"Oh, want to compete?" Yi Muhuan’s eyes flared red with anger hearing Luo Qianqian’s words.

Luo Qianqian saw that Tang Tianyi’s cigarette had burned out and lit a second one calmly: "Compete in what? Just judging by looks you’re already a loser, and that’s just the surface."

"Can’t just judge a man by appearances."

"But I do judge by looks."

Luo Qianqian retorted calmly with a cigarette dangling from her lips, and in the next second Tang Tianyi took it from her mouth, looking speechless.

Is this child addicted to acting?

"A drinking contest!" Yi Muhuan finally stated today’s purpose.

The drinks had been spiked; if Tang Tianyi drank them, without the antidote, all that awaited was agony.

"Oh, we’re underage." Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. Did Yi Muhuan really think he was their peer?

Shameless...

Back in junior high, this guy already got someone pregnant; what’s dignity? Something you can eat?

"He..." Yi Muhuan looked incredulously, thought again of the school uniform in the photo and his expression darkened, high-schoolers? Indeed, not yet of age...

"Drinking isn’t out of the question." Luo Qianqian glanced at the opened bottles and smiled: "How about you drink two bottles first to set an example?"

Saying this, she lit a third cigarette, her demeanor calm.

Tang Tianyi popped another candy in his mouth and shivered unconsciously.

"Drink up!" Yi Muhuan grabbed a bottle and started drinking.

Yet Luo Qianqian looked toward Sun Xuan: "Aren’t you drinking?"

Sun Xuan was stunned for a moment and picked up a bottle.

The first cigarette, impulse enhancer, contained herbs that stimulated adrenaline secretion coupled with a bit of laughing grass, causing hallucinations.

The second cigarette, halves intelligence, a mental drug reducing thought capacity, with a sprinkle of truth serum.

The third cigarette, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.

As for what they had eaten, it was of course the Detoxification Pill personally mixed by Luo Qianqian.

It tasted like peppermint candy, but medicine is inherently toxic, and couldn’t be treated as regular peppermint candy.

More importantly, ordinary peppermint candy couldn’t be as expensive as this counterfeit.

And as for the contents of the bottle, neither of them even wanted to know.

Whatever it was, it was clearly not something good.

Both placed their cigarettes in the ashtray, letting them slowly burn, stood up, and left.

The biggest advantage of this cigarette was that it burned completely.

In order not to leave any traces, Luo Qianqian even considerately poured a ring of phosphorus powder into the ashtray, so the spark from the last cigarette would ignite it, and the evidence would vanish.

"Honestly, I truly didn’t want to know them, such a waste of time." Luo Qianqian sighed, following Tang Tianyi slowly up the stairs.

"Mm." Tang Tianyi’s face was still a bit red but his expression was quite normal, clinically carrying an aura of ruddy composure.

Luo Qianqian giggled, tugging at Tang Tianyi’s sleeve: "So, did my compliment make your heart flutter?"

Her cunning big eyes were swirling mischievously, clearly with a hint of teasing.

Tang Tianyi only felt a tightness below, gritted his teeth, flushed with color, and said word by word: "I won’t disappoint your expectations!"

Luo Qianqian watched as he rushed into the bathroom, at first laughing heartily, but then turned completely red as she belatedly realized what Tang Tianyi actually meant.

It seemed she had mentioned... great assets...

He said, wouldn’t disappoint your expectations...

Luo Qianqian was dumbfounded on the spot.

Tang Tianyi needed a pack of bleach...

Her mouth twitched, she slapped her face hard a few times.

When Tang Tianyi came out, seeing Luo Qianqian avoiding eye contact with her blushing eartips, his expression looked a tad better.

This little girl, becoming increasingly unruly.

"Let’s go." Luo Qianqian’s voice was somewhat light.

Tang Tianyi’s face returned to calm, wholly different from how it was when they climbed the stairs.

Suddenly, Luo Qianqian felt an inexplicable regret about her loose talk, but her heart also held some anticipation, though she herself was not sure what for.

It was still that same room, and as the door swung open slowly, seeing the pale faces inside, both froze in place.
