Chapter 708: Upset and Frustrated

Chapter 708: Upset and Frustrated

Embracing his woman, Lin Nuo directly confronted Zhao Kuo in front of him, showing no respect.

He was literally riding Zhao Kuo’s face, and Zhao Kuo was furious but couldn’t say anything, just holding it in and feeling extremely uncomfortable.

“Is he really that arrogant?”

Lin Nuo was trying to infuriate Zhao Kuo, but the phrase “my wife” caught Qin Shili’s attention. Lin Nuo had started treating her as his wife, forbidding outsiders from proposing to her.

So she was his person now; he wanted to possess and protect her, without any outsiders interfering in their lives.

In the past, when she thought about marriage, she pictured trivial everyday matters, but meeting Lin Nuo turned marriage into an ideal destination, a place she truly desired.

“Lin Gongzi, it’s not a matter of courtesy; Miss Qin is a precious daughter of the Qin family. A major event like marriage needs to be celebrated splendidly. If you’re to be Miss Qin’s husband, you mustn’t treat her poorly.”

Zhao Kuo retaliated, directly condemning Lin Nuo from a perspective of etiquette and morality, claiming he was unworthy as a husband.

Sorry, he had no morals, and no amount of condemnation would matter; if he wanted to be shameless, he’d gladly keep going with you.

“This is just to inform you; the marriage ceremony will indeed be held. Remember to come, Zhao Gongzi; I’ll save a good seat for you. Surely you won’t decline the invitation, right? No way, right?”

What a blow to the heart, stealing your proposal target and inviting you to a banquet, stabbing you and rubbing salt into the wound—how exhilarating!

“If you hold a grand banquet, I will surely attend and even bring you a grand gift. But if no banquet is held, it means the marriage hasn’t been settled. A beautiful lady is rightly pursued by a gentleman; it’s only natural for me to chase after Miss Qin, isn’t it?”

Zhao Kuo stubbornly persisted, adhering to his shameless principles.

“This premise must be that you are a gentleman,” Lin Nuo countered.

“What do you mean, Lin Gongzi? Are you saying I’m not a gentleman? I had thought that Lin Family’s Third Young Master and Miss Qin’s fiancé was quite cultured, but I must say, I’m rather disappointed.”

“I think you’ve misunderstood; I am not a gentleman.”

“Hah, since you have such self-awareness, please consider if you are truly a match for Miss Qin.”

“Sorry, but I’m also not a delicate lady; we are quite well matched. You claim to be a gentleman, and I hope you can find a lovely lady worthy of you.”

Qin Shili quickly interjected, as this couple harmonized their banter, attacking Zhao Kuo together, leaving him dumbfounded. They were both downplaying themselves, saying they were nothing.

The real clown turned out to be Zhao Kuo himself; once the two of them teamed up in shamelessness, it didn’t matter how gentlemanly he appeared.

Sticking to his unashamed spirit, Zhao Kuo tried to regain the upper hand, saying:

“Ah, Miss Qin, I’ve heard many tales of Lin Gongzi’s charm, attracting the favor of many young ladies. I’ve even heard he has ambiguous relations with his junior martial sister and senior martial sister. As a hot-blooded youth, it’s not surprising to lose himself among the flowers. I believe a stunning lady like you should find someone who dedicates themselves to you.”

“It doesn’t matter; I like him, that’s enough for me. You’re worrying too much,” Qin Shili immediately replied. No matter what he said to belittle Lin Nuo, her feelings remained unchanged.

“You speak as if you can be dedicated. Zhao Gongzi, some matters are well understood by all. You know the names of Cai, Yu, and Xiao, right?”

Lin Nuo’s words held deeper meaning. Zhao Kuo, how shameless can you be? Claiming to be dedicated while having pursued so many ladies? Can you truly call yourself a walking pile driver?

“Lin Gongzi, I don’t understand what you mean. In everything, there’s a need for evidence; I ask you to provide strong proof.”

“You’re quite amusing. You ask me to provide evidence without presenting your own.”

“Yours is something everyone has witnessed. As for me, what you said isn’t true; your claims lack recognition.”

“Alright, if you say so. Look at this.”

Lin Nuo pulled out a sparkling crystal chip, revealing recorded footage. Zhao Kuo’s heart sank; surely Lin Nuo was going to use this footage as proof.

But thinking to himself, he hadn’t sought out other girls recently, and the Spirit Technique recordings only preserved images for a maximum of half a month. Even if Lin Nuo had evidence, it wouldn’t matter.

Indeed, recordings typically only last half a month, but Lin Nuo’s chip could preserve them for much longer—over half a year would be no problem.

He activated the footage, which recorded Zhao Kuo embracing various young ladies in wild revelry, instantly becoming social poison—the subordinates and servants present all witnessed it.

Zhao Kuo was stunned; this event had been a month ago—by rights, the footage should have already expired!

Damn, what is this? How did he do it…

“You… were following me?!”

Zhao Kuo was furious and embarrassed; he couldn’t bear the exposure of his deeds right here.

“Sorry, obtaining this material didn’t require stalking you. Every corner of Puhan has materials on you; I just happened to save it for longer.”

Lin Nuo turned off the footage. He truly admired Zhao Kuo’s shamelessness; what could he say further? Continuing would just be a self-inflicted embarrassment.

Truly, those without shame are invincible in the world; they can outlast anyone.

But Zhao Kuo couldn’t maintain his shamelessness to that extent; the footage had come out—he truly couldn’t stay composed.

Materials were everywhere across Puhan, ridiculous!

After several rounds of shamelessness against Lin Nuo, Zhao Kuo faced utter defeat, his embarrassing footage exposed, leaving him a total wreck.

“Just wait.”

Zhao Kuo, upset, didn’t even bother to bid farewell and left directly. Watching him go, Lin Nuo couldn’t help but feel thrilled.

Look who was acting all arrogant, huh? Waiting for you? Don’t joke; by the time you arrive, I’d have dealt with you already.

Standing by, Qin Dao was utterly stunned; Zhao Kuo had been completely outmatched by Lin Nuo and his spouse, showing not a trace of advantage, and had just been hit back hard.

It seemed this couple was far more formidable than he had imagined.

He also needed to leave but felt the need to say something naturally.

He clasped his hands and said, “It’s truly a joyous occasion for Shili Mei and Lin Gongzi to wed, and I hope the two of you grow old together. I have matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you.”

With that, he left as well, and the curious servants around departed once the spectacle was over.

“Hubby, you’re quite capable; you made them both run away.”

“They won’t truly be scared off; they’ll return. We’ll be waiting for the main event.”

Though she wasn’t sure what Lin Nuo was thinking, Qin Shili felt at ease and wasn’t afraid of the treacherous duo, Qin Dao and Zhao Kuo.

Qin Zhu, quite worried, said, “Shili, you both made Zhao Kuo lose face today. I fear he may do something unfavorable to the Qin family. And then there’s Qin Dao; they’re not kind-hearted folk. Your mother’s family has also fallen, so…”

“You don’t need to worry.”

Lin Nuo confidently replied, “They won’t cause any trouble. The Qin family will be fine.”

“Hmm? Why’s that?”

“You can choose to trust me. But at this point, you have no choice but to believe me. May I ask if Lord Qin has any other methods? If there were, he wouldn’t have entertained them.”

“Hmm… alright. Sigh, there will be a day like this eventually, so it’s good to settle things. Young brother, come over; I’ll have the servants prepare a room for you.” Qin Zhu said.

“Dad, no need. He’ll share a room with me,” Qin Shili insisted.
