Chapter 303: Chapter 299: In Front of Leng Yuan, Lu Yuanbin Shields Gu Jiaojiao Behind Him

Lu Yuanbin stepped forward, yanked Gu Jiaojiao over, and shielded her behind him.

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

Leng Yuan: ...

Lu Yuanbin braced himself, his legs trembling slightly as he met his Brother Leng’s increasingly cold gaze.

But he was a man.

Besides, Gu Jiaojiao definitely hadn’t touched his Brother Leng’s sleeve on purpose.

He forced a smile.

"She was just scared from the danger just now. She didn’t mean to grab your sleeve."

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

’That’s not right!’

’I did it on purpose.’

’I was deliberately trying to be cute.’

But looking at her man’s increasingly frosty expression, Gu Jiaojiao felt all her efforts had been for nothing.

Her cute act was a total waste.

She let out a dry laugh, then shot Lu Yuanbin a glare.

’What is this guy doing? Why is he ruining my act?’

Lu Yuanbin was desperately trying to signal Gu Jiaojiao with his eyes.

His Brother Leng wasn’t a normal man; he showed women absolutely no mercy.

Even though his Brother Leng had saved Gu Jiaojiao, she shouldn’t get any funny ideas.

The two of them stood to the side, exchanging frantic looks.

Watching the two of them, Leng Yuan’s expression grew even darker.

They both felt an icy gaze fixated on them. Shuddering in unison, they turned to see Leng Yuan’s face, dark as a thundercloud, and instinctively shrank back.

Leng Yuan laughed out of sheer anger.

With him, the angrier he got, the gentler his tone became, and the more harmless his expression appeared.

He looked at Gu Jiaojiao calmly.

"Come here."

Lu Yuanbin: ...

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

After a moment of hesitation, both of them started walking over at the same time.

After just two steps, they looked at each other.

And spoke at the same time.

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing?"

Lu Yuanbin: ...

’Wait, my Brother Leng was calling me. What is Gu Jiaojiao doing?’

He couldn’t help but whisper a warning.

"Don’t move, you idiot. Don’t you see who you’re dealing with? Believe it or not, he could smash your head in with one punch."

Gu Jiaojiao: ...

’No.’

’Wait a minute. My man was calling for me, so what’s Lu Yuanbin rushing forward for?’

’And who are you calling an idiot?’

Then it occurred to Gu Jiaojiao. ’Could it be that Lu Yuanbin doesn’t think I know Leng Yuan?!’

Just as Gu Jiaojiao was about to explain, Lu Yuanbin shot her a glare.

"Just stay put. Wait for me to get back."

Gu Jiaojiao was surprisingly obedient and immediately stopped moving.

’If someone’s eager to take some of the heat for me, I’m in no rush.’

After lecturing Gu Jiaojiao, Lu Yuanbin sensed that his Brother Leng had somehow gotten even colder. He scratched his head, stepped forward, and was just about to speak.

Leng Yuan merely shot him an icy glance before shoving him aside and walking over to Gu Jiaojiao.

Lu Yuanbin: ...

’Don’t tell me Brother Leng is going to hit Gu Jiaojiao!’ 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He knew his Brother Leng was ruthless and had no qualms about hurting a woman.

’But Gu Jiaojiao is different.’

’Gu Jiaojiao is prettier than any flower. How could Brother Leng bring himself to lay a hand on her?’

Just as Lu Yuanbin was about to speak...

...he saw Gu Jiaojiao throw herself directly into the man’s arms with a coquettish look on her face.

"Don’t be angry. I know I was wrong. It’s all my fault for being too beautiful and attracting this kind of pervert. Thank goodness you were here."

After speaking, she leaned close to Leng Yuan’s ear and pleaded in a small voice.

"Hubby, there’s still an outsider here. Can you spare me some face? You can punish me when we get back."

Gu Jiaojiao was self-aware enough to know that a punishment was inevitable.

When Leng Yuan heard Gu Jiaojiao mention the "outsider," his expression suddenly softened.

Gu Jiaojiao thought her man was planning to let her save face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she pulled Leng Yuan over to Lu Yuanbin’s side.

"Leng Yuan, this is the Third Master I met at the black market."

Leng Yuan’s gaze fell on Lu Yuanbin, a strange look in his eyes.

Lu Yuanbin shuddered.

He looked at Gu Jiaojiao, then back at his Brother Leng. A terrible idea began to form in his mind.
