Those two beautiful people just had to fight to the bitter end.

When Ah Da found Meng Ying, Meng Ying and Lan Chen were already fighting.

Meng Ying attacked ruthlessly. Every move she made was filled with killing intent. She wasn’t planning to give her opponent any chance of survival.

Lan Chen’s figure was light and graceful. Although he did not seem as vicious as Meng Ying, he fought with killing intent as well.

Ah Da was stunned.

He knew that Lan Chen was not an ordinary person, but Meng Ying… made him so shocked that he couldn’t close his mouth.

If anyone said that Meng Ying was a fool now, he would definitely call that person a fool.

With Meng Ying’s skills, he reckoned that he would be at a disadvantage if he fought her.

However, she was actually on par with Lan Chen.

Lan Chen guessed that Meng Ying might have some fighting skills, but he didn’t expect her to be so good.

He did not plan to use his full strength initially, but her moves made him retreat step by step, which forced him to go all in.

It had been a long time since Meng Ying had met such an opponent. It was a melee battle without any weapons.

This beautiful man looked weak, but his skills and stamina were not bad.

A roundhouse kick was about to land on his neck. He reached out to block it and pushed her ankle back. Meng Ying did a backflip and Lan Chen missed her throat.

The two of them finally pulled away from each other.

Meng Ying asked provocatively, “Are you okay?”

“Again.” Lan Chen took the lead.

He did not treat her as a woman, but as an opponent.

Ah Da wanted to stop the fight, but he could not find a chance to interfere.

The two of them fought for another half an hour before the battle finally stopped with Meng Ying’s fingers stabbing Lan Chen’s throat.

Ah Da widened his eyes in shock, his heart racing.

She actually defeated Lan Chen!

Lan Chen stared down at her hand, his breath ragged.

“So what now? If I poke you hard, will there be one less handsome man in this world?” If Meng Ying hadn’t been taking medicine recently, she believed that she could finish him off faster.

Lan Chen looked at her and curled his thin lips. “Miss Meng, you have hidden your skills really well.”

“This is called keeping a low profile.” Meng Ying raised her eyebrows and asked, “Pretty Lan, since we’re both so good-looking, can we be friends?”

The hand that was aimed at his throat moved up to lift his chin. From wanting to kill him to teasing him, it only took a moment.

Ah Da watched from the side and frowned.

‘Why does she tease everyone?’

‘Doesn’t she love the Ninth Master the most?’

‘Did she fall in love with Lan Chen because of his good looks?’

Ah Da frowned. Should he tell the Ninth Master about this?

No matter what, she was the Ninth Master’s wife.

Lan Chen stared at her hand. “Do you know how tall the grass had grown by the grave of the last man who did this to me?”

“Well, who else is so insensible and bold to tease you? Tell me the location of the grave and I’ll dig out the corpse.”

“…” Lan Chen had underestimated this woman.

But it was not surprising. From the moment when she dared to prepare to kill someone at his place, he should not have underestimated her.

As expected of the woman that Mu Yuansheng fancied.

He pushed her hand away. “I admit defeat. I will forget about the past according to our bet.”

“Do you want to be my friend?” Meng Ying was still obsessed with this.

“What kind of friend?”

“A friend who would do anything for his buddy.”

Lan Chen was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “I thought you wanted a boyfriend.”

Meng Ying quickly took a step back. “I have a family. Don’t talk nonsense.” She turned around and looked at Ah Da. Her will to live was strong.

“Hahaha, so loyal?” Lan Chen laughed loudly.

“Of course. A day as husband and wife, a lifetime as husband and wife. No matter how good-looking you are, you’re not as good-looking as my husband. You can only be my friend, not my boyfriend.” She had to make this clear.

There was a first come first served basis for everything. Since Mu Yuansheng had taken the initiative to marry her, she had to take responsibility for him.

Besides, Lan Chen was not her type.

Lan Chen would make her protective.

But Mu Yuansheng had made her want to become a little woman who relied on him.

Lan Chen just smiled and didn’t ask any more questions.

“Since we are friends, I have to tell you something. Cheng Xiangyao is looking for people to kill you.” Lan Chen tidied his clothes. “Be careful.”

Meng Ying sneered. “If he tries to play tricks again, I’m afraid that the Cheng family will be doomed.”

Lan Chen leaned against the wall and raised his brows.

“Although the Cheng family has been cleansed of their wrongdoings in recent years, they are still as bad as before. Cheng Xiangyao still has some influence in the underworld. He doesn’t need to do it himself if he wants to harm you.”

“In that case, let’s kill a chicken to warn the monkeys.” Meng Ying was not afraid at all. “I’m hungry. As a friend, do you want to treat me to supper?”

Lan Chen snapped his fingers. “Let’s go.”

Ah Da was completely dumbfounded.

He was stunned.

The person that even the Ninth Master couldn’t get in touch with had actually become friends with Meng Ying?

…

At Lan Yun Clubhouse.

Lan Chen asked someone to prepare a room for Meng Ying and bought her a new set of clothes for her to change into.

When Meng Ying finished bathing and changed her clothes, Lan Chen was already waiting outside.

“I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare a meal with the imported ingredients that had just flown in today. Make do with it first.” Lan Chen had changed into beige clothes and looked like a beautiful and elegant ragdoll cat. His hair was messy and he looked absolutely adorable.

Meng Ying glanced at Ah Da, who was standing at the side. “You eat too.”

“…”

It was really amazing how they were still fighting to their death half an hour ago, but having a meal together now.

Ah Da shook his head. “I’m not hungry.”

“Pretty Lan is my friend now. I’m my husband’s wife, and you’re my husband’s friend. To round up, you are also friends with Pretty Lan too. Am I right, Pretty Lan?” Meng Ying looked at Lan Chen.

Lan Chen leaned back in his chair and nodded.

“Sit,” Meng Ying said again.

Ah Da sat down.

Seeing how harmonious they were, Ah Da wondered if he should tell Ninth Master about this.

Ninth Master had only been out for a day, and Meng Ying had already put on such a big show.

He was afraid that Meng Ying would do something terrible again in the next few days.

…

Shan Wu’s health had improved a lot. Ah Da brought him home.

Meng Ying looked at his thin body and asked, “I just want to know, must you really kill Cheng Ping?”

“Yes.”

“If anything happens…”

“I’ll take responsibility myself.” Shan Wu only wanted an opportunity.

Meng Ying said, “I’ve said before that I won’t do a losing deal that will cause myself harm. What I mean is, if anything happens, I’ll take responsibility for you.”

“Miss Meng…”

“You don’t have to thank me. To put it bluntly, I have a motive for helping you.”

“I’m willing to do whatever you want me to do.” Shan Wu expressed his sincerity. “Even if you want my life.”

Meng Ying smiled and said, “What would I do with your life?”

“Alright, that’s a story for another time. You’ve already endured this hatred for five years. Only when you see your enemy slowly walking towards death in your own hands will the hatred in your heart be resolved. I will let you go close to Cheng Ping but don’t poison or drug him…”

“Use the method you are most familiar with to deal with him. Do you understand?”

Shan Wu stayed silent for a few seconds before nodding. “Understood.”
