Chapter 55

55. Don’t think of me, okay? Darling!

Creak—!

Holding Little Yuan, Lin Na suddenly saw a car stop in front of her.

She instinctively took a few steps back to make room, but then noticed Wen Han getting out of the car.

“Wen Han?”

Under her astonished gaze, Wen Han turned to look at Su Zeheng inside the car: “Uncle, you’re going to keep watching me, right?”

Su Zeheng smirked coldly: “Yes, it’s my responsibility.”

“Then get out of the car. Since you’re going to follow me anyway, why not do it openly?”

“… ” Su Zeheng narrowed his eyes, “What mischief are you up to now?”

“How about helping me move things?” Wen Han raised an eyebrow, “Do a good deed till the end, it’s not easy for a girl like me to move things alone.”

“Are you considered a girl?”

Wen Han looked down at her chest: “Uncle, you’ve become quite naughty. Did you learn how to tease me?”

“Tease?”

“Aren’t you just trying to get me to say something like ‘Would you like to try?’”

“I…”

“Alright, will you help me or not~~~” Wen Han pulled out a banknote, “Good uncle, I know you can’t bear to see a little girl struggling, right? You’re a good person.”

“In this era, being called a good person doesn’t seem like such a great thing.” Su Zeheng sighed helplessly.

But thinking that this could bring them closer and potentially change each other, he shook his head and got out of the car.

Snap!

Closing the car door, Su Zeheng turned around and found Wen Han already walking on the sidewalk beside him. He silently followed.

On the sidewalk.

“Wen Han, how did you…?” Holding Little Yuan, Lin Na looked at Wen Han standing in front of her, then at Su Zeheng, “Who is this…?”

“Oh!” Wen Han smiled slightly, looking at the approaching figure, “He’s pursuing me, but I haven’t agreed yet.”

Su Zeheng’s steps abruptly stopped as he narrowed his eyes and looked up.

“Oh~” Lin Na suddenly understood and giggled, “Wen Han has many people chasing after her. You have to work hard!”

Su Zeheng shook his head to explain: “I’m here to help her move things.”

“Look.” Wen Han had a helpless look, “Uncle, I was just saying that casually. There’s no need to take everything I say seriously, especially moving things… That excuse is quite funny!”

“?”

“Which means, you don’t have anything to move?” Su Zeheng twitched his mouth, suddenly realizing he had been tricked again.

But with Lin Na and Little Yuan present, he couldn’t “react,” so he could only show a “friendly smile.”

Wen Han shook her head: “No need.”

“… Goodbye!”

Baring her teeth, Su Zeheng took a deep breath and turned around.

Just as he glanced aside, he suddenly saw Lin Wu Ju walking slowly from another street.

He paused, turning back again.

Wen Han saw this figure that was originally about to be driven away, thinking she could finally be rid of it, but the other party suddenly stopped.

Following the other person’s gaze, he saw Lin Wu Ju and frowned immediately.

“… There’s no way.” After a few seconds of silence, Wen Han suddenly said, “Lin Na, you and Little Yuan go ahead to the restaurant we agreed on? I’ll be there later.”

“… You two…?” Lin Na looked worriedly.

Little Yuan blinked continuously, staring at Su Zeheng: “Uncle, is it really you? Isn’t Ou Mingcheng supposed to be here today?”

Su Zeheng suddenly came to his senses, revealing a gentle smile: “I… am not Uncle, please call me Uncle in the future. As for Mingcheng… He’s with his mother. How about we all go out and play together another day?”

“Okay!”

“Mhmm, very obedient~” Su Zeheng glanced sideways, “If someone could be as obedient as Little Yuan.”

“Wen Han, Mr. Su, we meet again.” Suddenly, Lin Wu Ju’s voice reached their ears.

Lin Na looked up in surprise.

Su Zeheng and Wen Han remained expressionless, having noticed him long ago.

“Wen Han, who is this…?” Lin Na’s curious eyes darted back and forth.

Wen Han showed no emotion: “My second pursuer.”

Lin Wu Ju quietly glanced at her, but Lin Na was already somewhat uncontrollable.

“Wow… Both of you are chasing after Wen Han? Oh my, it’s like a drama! Fight! Fast… Oh, wrong words.”

A drop of sweat slowly slid down the forehead of both Lin Wu Ju and Su Zeheng.

Taking advantage of this pause, Wen Han smiled: “Alright, Lin Na, I just wanted to say something personal. Don’t worry about me.”

“This… Alright then.” Lin Na hesitated for a moment, excitedly looking at the three in front of her, then reluctantly left holding Little Yuan.

Once she was far enough, Wen Han’s face suddenly darkened: “Uncle, you’re indeed very hypocritical.”

“What I meant by ‘someone’ is Mingcheng.” Su Zeheng turned around, “Mingcheng isn’t as obedient as Little Yuan.”

“… Hmph.” Wen Han rolled her eyes, “Xiao Lin, what brings you here?”

“Naturally, I have something to discuss with you.” Lin Wu Ju shook his head, “Also, you should at least call me boss.”

“Mr. Lin, why force Wen Han if she doesn’t want to?” Su Zeheng suddenly interjected, “The people from the Recycling Station shouldn’t be controlled by the Light Magic Society?”

“Oh—?” Lin Wu Ju turned around, the two facing each other, “Mr. Su constantly pestering my assistant isn’t quite appropriate, is it?”

“I’m doing this on Wen Han’s behalf.” A wave of magic power slowly rose from Su Zeheng, “Mr. Lin’s actions during the Qin Long incident were far from appropriate, weren’t they?”

“Mr. Su enjoys using rhetorical questions?” A circle of light only visible to mages appeared around Lin Wu Ju.

“You’re no different.”

The two approached each other, tension building up until their eyes met like flames.

In the next second, they suddenly sensed something and turned around sharply.

One hundred meters away, Wen Han had already quickly left, her golden hair swaying.

“Hmph!” “Hmph!”

Both let out a cold snort and hurried after her.

…

“… They’re coming?”

Hearing footsteps behind her, Wen Han suddenly quickened her pace, then suddenly twisted her ankle.

“Ahh!” She cried out in pain, falling to the ground.

“Wen Han?” Su Zeheng’s face changed as he rushed over, “Are you alright?”

“I… Ow!” Straightening up, Wen Han held her calf, “I think I twisted it.”

“This… My car is right there, I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“But I…” Wen Han looked at the car, “I… Can’t stand up, I can’t walk.”

“Then I’ll carry you!”

Su Zeheng immediately stretched out his hand to carry Wen Han on his back.

At the same time, another hand silently extended from the side.

He froze, seeing Lin Wu Ju beside him once more.

“Wen Han is mine, there’s no need to trouble Mr. Su.” He smiled.

Su Zeheng’s lips stiffened as he forced a smile, “My car is nearby, taking her would be a small favor.”

“The people from the Recycling Station don’t fall under the jurisdiction of the Light Magic Society.”

“The Light Magic Society helps anyone who needs it, as long as they haven’t committed unforgivable crimes, they all have the chance to return to the light.”

“Does Mr. Su mean I’m doomed?”

“Mr. Lin’s crimes are severe. Once I catch you,” Su Zeheng stood up, “You’ll be utterly ruined!”

Lin Wu Ju sneered, “I’m curious how exactly you’d be utterly ruined.”

The two locked eyes again, almost sparking electricity between them.

“Hello, just keep driving straight ahead.” Wen Han’s voice suddenly came from nearby.

The two froze again and turned around immediately.

Swish—!

With a roar, the taxi sped away.

At the same time, the window quickly rolled down, Wen Han smiling and waving at them, “Don’t think of me, okay? Darling~!”

Swoosh—!

She closed the window, leaving the two confused and disoriented in the wind.
