Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Chapter 112: Make Her Pay for the Clothes (2)

Yan Jiu looked as if he’d just been granted amnesty, nodding eagerly. "Yes, yes, I guarantee I’ll bring Miss Bai back safe and sound."

Bai Su left with Yan Jiu.

Bai Rongrong felt a surge of indignation, but when she glanced over at Lu Tingyan, her heart skipped a beat.

’Does this mean I’m now alone with Leader Lu?’

’This was a god-sent opportunity!’

Bai Rongrong looked at the man beside her, adjusted her expression, and put on the perfect smile she had practiced countless times in the mirror. "Leader Lu, it must be so hard being with my sister, isn’t it? She’s just that sort of person..."

Lu Tingyan shot her a glance, his brow furrowed.

It was too dark for her to notice his expression, so she continued speaking. "On such an important occasion, this must be the first time you’ve brought her to a banquet, right?"

"This is such an important occasion. If it were me, I would have taken care to dress up. I’m not normally one to fuss over my appearance, but so I wouldn’t embarrass you, Leader, and to avoid being impolite at someone’s banquet, I’d at least make myself look presentable."

"But my sister doesn’t seem to care about any of that. In fact, she’s downright unkempt..."

"It’s a waste of that beautiful gown you found for her. And her hair is just a disaster. How could she come to a banquet looking so messy?"

"As a noble, she should know that looking elegant and presentable at a banquet is basic respect for the hosts. I just saw a few members of the Yan Family whispering. They were unhappy with her sloppy appearance, saying she was disrespecting the Yan Family and embarrassing you."

Lu Tingyan’s voice was cold and distant, betraying no emotion. "Her hair is a disaster? It embarrassed me?"

Thinking he was taking the bait, Bai Rongrong’s eyes lit up. "I know I shouldn’t speak ill of my sister behind her back, but..."

She bit her lip. "My sister isn’t a child; she should know to be more careful on important occasions. Her hairstyle is so messy, it just looks sloppy. It’s a credit to your generosity that you were still willing to bring her."

Lu Tingyan’s face darkened. "I spent hours doing her hair myself. What gives you the right to criticize it?"

"Huh?" Bai Rongrong was stunned.

Lu Tingyan continued, "You tasteless idiot. And you think your hairstyle looks good? Utterly laughable!"

His composure broke. He turned on his heel and stalked off.

’No wonder my wife was so hesitant before getting out of the car, her expression so odd.’

’She must have hated the hairstyle I gave her.’

’But he thought it looked perfectly exquisite, with a sort of lazy, effortless vibe. How could it look sloppy and messy to Bai Rongrong?’

Lu Tingyan fumed for a moment before reaching a conclusion: Bai Rongrong was just a tasteless fucking idiot!

Naturally, Bai Rongrong couldn’t just let him leave like that. "Leader Lu, I... I misspoke just now. Please don’t take it to heart."

"Actually... actually, my sister’s hairstyle looks great!"

’If she angered Leader Lu, would she ever have another chance to break into the noble circles?’

Bai Rongrong’s heart sank. In the distance, people were watching the commotion.

’At the very least... she couldn’t let anyone see that Leader Lu was storming off because she’d angered him!’

A glint flashed in Bai Rongrong’s eyes. She rushed forward, taking several quick steps to get in front of Lu Tingyan before feigning a fall right into his arms.

From a distance, it looked as if the two had bumped into each other and Lu Tingyan had reached out to steady her.

Her soft, pliant body was pressed against his, her delicate face flushed with a shy blush. "Leader Lu, I’m so sorry. I think I’ve twisted my ankle..."

Lu Tingyan pushed her away, his face impassive. "You’ve dirtied my clothes."
