Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 803: Chapter 801: Got a Smoke?

The drowsy Spring Festival Gala, Lu Xiaobu and the others did not watch until the end, but left after the New Year’s Eve clock chime!

Honestly, the Spring Festival Gala is just to satisfy a sense of vanity.

When bragging, you can say, oh, I went to the Spring Festival Gala, and this and that happened!

Just like Shen Wen and her girlfriends, they were too busy bragging on the phone to even argue.

But Lu Wenhuo’s hair was somewhat damp.

His face also looked incredibly unpleasant!

He had gone out from the beginning, staying in the restroom for a few hours, constantly using cold water to keep himself awake!

During these hours, he thought about many, many things.

He realized clearly, his big brother and Xiaobu were right; Shen Wen does not truly like him.

Honestly!

When he figured this out, his head was still submerged in cold water.

Because he didn’t dare to come out, fearing that once he did, he would act foolish again!

He wasn’t emotionally smart; this was his first time formally liking a girl in his life!

He really couldn’t quite accept this fact!

Even then, when he was clear about it and had made up his mind!

But, when Lu Wenhuo walked out of the restroom, he still decided to give Shen Wen another chance!

Which was to refuse the waiter offering a towel, and not dry himself!

To see Shen Wen’s reaction!

Ah, the infatuated man!

In the end, all he saw was Shen Wen, still bragging on the phone, giving him a completely indifferent look!

At that moment, the cold from the wet hair being blown by the wind was far less than the cold in his heart!

Lu Xiaobu and Lu Hongbin noted it, feeling pain in their hearts!

However, neither of them asked Lu Wenhuo to dry his hair!

Wake up!

Physical illness is always better than mental illness!

Liang Lan and the other three felt distressed!

Especially Lin Shu, the eldest sister-in-law, felt overwhelmingly distressed and quickly found a handkerchief to wipe Wenhuo’s hair!

As they say, ”the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother,” more so in this long-term womanless household, she, as the eldest sister-in-law, needs to take good care of these two brothers.

However, her actions were stopped by Lu Hongbin, who shook his head at her!

”You!”

Lin Shu was held back, almost cursing in anger!

Finally, she shook off Lu Hongbin’s hand and went off sulking!

A bunch of male chauvinists!

But then her gaze turned to Shen Wen nearby, and her eyes gradually became cold!

What?! Are you bullying the Lu Family for being kind and unwilling to lay hands on women?!

Do you think the Lu Family is without women?!

Lu Xiaobu watched this scene from the side, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose slightly.

A very good sister-in-law, isn’t she!

”Young Master, we found them.”

At that time, Liang Lan whispered to Lu Xiaobu.

”Oh?”

Lu Xiaobu squinted his eyes: ”Let me see.”

”According to Zhang Benhu’s intelligence, these two people should belong to a group from the Underworld in Imperial, specifically engaged in marriage scams.”

”Generally speaking, their targets should be older people, those unable to find a partner, or individuals in difficult conditions with no local introductions for a partner!”

”Don’t know what courage they mustered this time to actually target Lu Wenhuo!”

Liang Lan, while speaking the last sentence, even had a cold gleam in her eyes!

She was also a member of the Lu Family!

Though not as openly as Lin Shu, she was still truly a Lu Family member!

”Great, the address found it, right! Go play with them!”

Lu Xiaobu pulled out a cold curve at the corner of his mouth.

While Liang Lan was speaking with Lu Xiaobu, Lu Wenhuo walked to the side alone to smoke.

His hair still not dried, with frost even forming in the cold wind.

However, these were nothing compared to the cold in his heart.

At this time, a warm towel was placed on his head.

”Sister-in-law, I’m fine.”

Lu Wenhuo let out a bitter laugh, thinking it was Lin Shu who came over.

But!

The voice wasn’t Lin Shu’s, but rather a slightly androgynous voice: ”Sister-in-law?! That’s some poor association you’re making! Who’s your brother? Is he marrying me or what?”

Lu Wenhuo immediately apologized upon hearing an unfamiliar voice: ”Sorry, sorry, I mistook you!”

While apologizing, he turned his head.

In his view was a short-haired girl, looking valiant and spirited.

From her physique, she seems to be the type who exercises often.

And you can tell she definitely came out from the Spring Festival Gala venue.

”Alright, wipe it quickly. You’re a grown man, acting cool here.”

The short-haired girl curled her lip in disdain.

”Uh-huh!”

Lu Wenhuo awkwardly smiled and started drying his head without further ado.

That’s how men are; if it were Lu Xiaobu, Lu Hongbin, or Lu Father, Lin Shu handing over a towel, Lu Wenhuo probably wouldn’t accept.

But when a stranger girl shows her kind intentions, he couldn’t refuse.

”By the way.” The short-haired girl’s eyes suddenly revealed a bit of cunning, staring at Lu Wenhuo’s bulging pocket: ”What kind of cigarette are you smoking? Give me one!”

Got it, Lu Wenhuo understood.

She was without cigarettes and came over to mooch a smoke!

No wonder!

Seeing Lu Wenhuo in a daze, the short-haired girl rolled her eyes: ”Well? Are you old-fashioned? Girls can’t smoke?!”

”No, no, no.” Lu Wenhuo hastily shook his head, stopped drying his head for a moment, and then took out a cigarette and handed it to the short-haired girl.

The girl expertly placed it in her mouth and looked up at Lu Wenhuo: ”A light!”

Lu Wenhuo took out a lighter and lit it for the short-haired girl.

”Ah!”

The short-haired girl took a satisfied puff: ”I was suffocating to death in there!”

Lu Wenhuo let out a bitter smile and continued to dry his head.

After drying it pretty much, he handed the towel to the short-haired girl: ”Thank you.”

”Why are you giving it to me? Just toss it.” The short-haired girl rolled her eyes and said: ”Oh, and light one yourself. When my family comes later, I’ll say the smoke smell on me is from your secondhand smoke.”

Lu Wenhuo smiled bitterly once more, thought for a moment, folded the towel, placed a still dry spot facing up on the ground, then sat on it and lit another cigarette.

”Hey, you’re pretty smart.”

The short-haired girl’s eyes lit up at Lu Wenhuo’s action: ”Move over, move over, let me sit.”

”Poof!”

Lu Wenhuo suddenly laughed.

”What’s so funny? Come on, this is my towel!” The short-haired girl said boisterously.

”Okay.”

Lu Wenhuo chuckled and stood up, letting the short-haired girl sit.

”Hey buddy, looking at your gloomy face, what happened? Did you break up?” The short-haired girl was quite sociable, starting to chat with Lu Wenhuo.

”Ah!” Lu Wenhuo let out a bitter laugh, his previous good mood completely gone.

”Such a coward, did someone cheat? You should hit her! Or tell me, I’ll hit her!” The short-haired girl was quite righteous, already offering to help Lu Wenhuo take revenge!
