Wan Jia withdrew her hand before he could touch it. How gutsy! Was he asking to die?

"Little girl you... do you think I'm not handsome enough?"

The corner of Wan Jia's lips twitched. Just when she was starting to worry that she had never put her skills into practice, a chance presented itself on a silver platter.

She gave a last warning. "I'm saying it for the last time. Get out of my way."

"Are all beautiful women…Ow!" before he finished his statement, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and gripped it. "You hit me!" it was so painful that he didn't even think of hitting her back.

Wan Jia had not had enough; she punched him in the chest, making him stumble backwards weakly. Having been hit by a little woman, the man couldn't accept his fate. He threw a punch towards her. Wan Jia's dress and shoes couldn't allow her to kick. She could only either punch or dodge. She cursed. She had just asked for trouble! Could she be stronger than a man?

Using merely her instinct, she hit the man's wrist with all her strength and took advantage of his distracted state to punch his crotch. She had watched women do that in movies and she hoped that he would be distracted for at least ten seconds. Luckily, he really lost all his strength after the punch and groaned while holding his crotch. Wan Jia used the chance to escape. She locked the door from outside.

That was close. On her way back, Wan Jia rubbed her hands and saw the bracelet on her fair wrist. She really wanted to smash her head into something. She had forgotten all about it earlier. But it proved something to her; she didn't have to rely on Lu Aotian all the time. If she ever lost that bracelet or forgot to use it when she was in danger, she would be doomed if she didn't have her own skills.

Talking of which, wasn't she just a rookie? Why was it that she was so strong a moment ago...

Training with grandmasters like Lu Aotian had really made her underestimate herself.

...

"What took you so long?" Lu Aotian asked when she went back.

"There were many people in the restroom."

Lu Aotian was still looking at her.

"Fine, I may have met a pervert and taught him a little lesson."

Lu Aotian chuckled. Of course he understood the kind of lesson she was talking about. So his little wife could actually hit someone. He thought she was too scared of doing that.

…

In this banquet, Lu Tongyan couldn't be absent. He arrived a bit late due to some business he was dealing with prior to the banquet. As soon as he arrived, he went to say hi to Wan Jia who was helping Little Jia cut a piece of cake into smaller pieces.

After chatting a little with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, he went to talk to Lu Aotian. From the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Shaoting speaking to a bunch of beautiful ladies. They had literally surrounded him and seemed to be asking him questions.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that Lu Shaoting was holding a woman's waist…and that woman was Su Ling.

He didn't need to ask to know what they were talking about. The women were obviously asking them what their relationship was and Lu Shaoting seemed to have said "girlfriend" just now.

His expression turned ugly. There were so many women on earth. There was even a whole bevy of beauties with impressive upbringing in this banquet. What was so special about that woman?

Lu Aotian saw his expression and knew what he was thinking. He coughed. "Father, years ago, you wanted me to marry Yun Xuan and hated Wanwan. But now, don't you hate Yun Xuan and treat Wanwan as your own daughter?"

Lu Tongyan was displeased. "Are you saying that I have poor judgment?"

"If I'm being honest, you do.

Whoever Shaoting likes, how is it anyone else's business?"

Lu Tongyan was shocked that even Lu Aotian was siding with Lu Shaoting. "What kind of nonsense did that punk brainwash you with?"

"Brainwash me? Please, I'm the one who can brainwash him."

Lu Tongyan remained silent. He had never been able to refute anything Lu Aotian said. This son of his had always been sensible.

Still, he was not able to accept Su Ling. At least not yet.

...

A few meters away, Su Ling was being looked at with eyes of envy. Just what galaxy had she saved in her past life to make Lu Shaoting like her in this lifetime? She was neither beautiful nor outstanding. What did second master Lu see in her?

For those women who had always dreamed of being in the Lu family, their dreams had been ruthlessly shattered. First, it was Lu Aotian getting married and now their little prince charming Lu who had never had a girlfriend before was no longer available?

While the other women secretly glared at her, Su Ling only obediently stayed next to Lu Shaoting. What did any of their thoughts have to do with her?

"She's just a girlfriend. Perhaps Vice president Lu is only playing around with her. Why would he marry a woman who neither has the looks nor the background?" an envious woman said when Lu Shaoting and Su Ling left.
