CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: NOT JEALOUS?

Just at this moment, a sudden quarrel disrupted the "good thing" between the two.

Su Lingzhi shyly hid in Fu Yinli’s arms, looking towards the dispute that erupted at the door.

Shao Yuwei was surrounded by a group of people, feeling severely harassed.

The aquamarine fishtail dress outlined her graceful figure, and from afar, one could sense her helplessness.

"I’m not interested in you."

Shao Yuwei’s distinctly American-accented voice was particularly delicate and pleasant, even her stubbornness had a unique charm, making people’s hearts itch.

The man in the beige suit looked at her with interest, "You’re not interested in me, but I am in you. Give me a chance to pursue you."

"Is this what you call pursuit—forcing and taking?" Shao Yuwei retorted, her bright eyes shimmering with tears under the clear light.

"You can understand it that way."

If it hadn’t been for her slightly tipsy state in the elevator just now, causing her to lose her footing and fall onto him, he wouldn’t have noticed her at all.

And because of this accident, this foreign man mistakenly thought she was interested in him, sensing a game of hard to get, and refused to let her leave.

"I truly didn’t mean to bump into you earlier. If you feel I offended you, I apologize and ask you to let me leave."

Saying this, Shao Yuwei took half a step forward, but they had no intention of letting her go, blocking the way tightly.

She looked back at the instigator, her eyes filled with disgust towards him, "What do you really want?"

The man approached her, obsessively eyeing her captivating figure, suddenly wrapping his arm around her waist and whispered in a deep voice, "Come with me."

Shao Yuwei pushed him away forcefully, "Don’t even think about it."

Just as she was trying to escape, she caught sight of the couple embracing by the side of the road.

They were watching her being bullied and tormented as if they were watching a show.

In that moment, grievance washed over her like a tide, and she couldn’t hold back her tears.

At this moment, how she wished Yinli would give her a hand and rescue her from the harassment.

But he just stood there watching, with no trace of empathy in his eyes.

Su Lingzhi could no longer bear it, she tugged at Fu Yinli’s sleeve, "Lili, can you help her?"

Fu Yinli looked down, staring intently at her expression, bewildered by her action, "Not jealous?"

"I’m the one asking you to help, and with me watching, what could you possibly do?"

Fu Yinli furrowed his brows, "I don’t know what to say about you."

Su Lingzhi replied, "Of course, whether you want to help her or not is entirely up to you."

Those people looked difficult to deal with, and anyone appearing here was probably a member of the British Circle’s young gentlemen.

Fu Yinli patted her head and turned to leave.

Su Lingzhi suddenly grabbed his hand, looking at him with worry, "Those people, can you afford to offend them?"

"No problem."

Upon hearing his answer, Su Lingzhi finally released his hand with ease.

Although she was the one who asked Lili to save her, she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable watching him rescue his ex-girlfriend.

But she couldn’t just let someone with the surname Shao be bullied because of their past relationship, right?

Moreover, she understood that Lili probably hadn’t acted yet because she was there, after all, the girl was his friend’s sister, being bullied outside, he must at least offer some help.

When Fu Yinli approached, the beige-suited man immediately lost some momentum, "Mr. Fu, long time no see."

His deep voice carried a hint of respect.

Fu Yinli glanced at their entangled hands, his brows slowly furrowing.

The beige-suited man instantly understood his meaning, guessing, "It can’t be such a coincidence, could it? This beauty I’m interested in is the same fiery ’sparrow’ you mentioned before?"

"She is my friend’s sister. For my sake, give her some respect."

With a bit of thought, the beige-suited man wisely released Shao Yuwei’s hand, then took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered one to Fu.

Lighting the cigarette, he took a puff, "Mr. Fu is making waves in England, but don’t forget the old saying, ’The taller the tree, the greater the wind.’ It’s wise to be cautious lately, Mr. Fu."

With that, he and his people left.

At the entrance, only Fu Yinli and Shao Yuwei were left.

Tears filled Shao Yuwei’s eyes as she looked at him with admiration, "I knew you wouldn’t leave me."

She threw herself into his arms, holding him tightly and crying out.

In the distance.

Seeing this, Su Lingzhi’s face instantly darkened.

She suppressed her anger and strode over, pulling Shao Yuwei forcefully away from Fu Yinli.

"Miss Shao, please have some self-respect."

Shao Yuwei looked incredulously at the person who suddenly appeared before her.

She had not expected Su Lingzhi to come so directly and rudely pull her away, not expecting a young girl to have such courage.

It seems she had underestimated her.

"I..."

Not waiting for her to speak, Su Lingzhi interrupted, "Miss Shao, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person. I presume you’re well aware of my relationship with him now. No matter how aggrieved you feel, you can’t hug him and cry ambiguously in front of me."

Su Lingzhi’s brows knitted in displeasure and anger over her actions, she was genuinely angry but managed to hold back her emotions.

"If I hadn’t agreed, he wouldn’t have helped you. I don’t care what happened between you and Lili before, but he is my boyfriend now, remember, he is already someone else’s."

After saying this, Su Lingzhi didn’t bother to look at Shao Yuwei’s reaction, grabbing Fu Yinli’s hand and angrily walking towards the parking area.

She opened the car door, said nothing, and got inside, ignoring Fu Yinli who was standing by the door.

Fu Yinli watched her angry demeanor with mixed feelings.

She was the one who asked him to save her, yet she was also angry, and now she’s taking it out on him, such a temper...

As he bent down to get in the car, Su Lingzhi moved aside in a huff, not wanting him close.

Fu Yinli’s eyes darkened, but he squeezed in, patiently fastening her seatbelt, glancing at her "unapproachable" expression in silence.

On the drive home, neither spoke, the atmosphere in the car so tense that even taking a deep breath felt risky.

Little Li, the driver, didn’t dare to look back the whole way, and only when they reached the manor did he breathe a sigh of relief.

However, as soon as they got out of the car, Su Lingzhi grabbed Fu Yinli’s hand and went straight upstairs.

Once the door closed, Su Lingzhi pushed him against the wall, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him fiercely.
