Chapter 59: A Man Full of Reassurance

Bai Youwei was stiff all over with rage.

No one had ever dared to play her like this; this shameless woman actually made her bow!

A surge of fury burned up from the bottom of Bai Youwei's heart, and where others couldn't see, she gave Lu Miao a fierce shove.

Lu Miao had long anticipated that Bai Youwei would resort to underhanded tricks behind her back. She had lost count of how many times she used such petty tactics when fighting for dominance with Lu Qingcheng.

Therefore, the moment Bai Youwei pushed her, she used the momentum to shove her back.

"Ah!"

Both girls fell backward.

Bai Youwei shrieked in panic.

In contrast, the moment Lu Miao fell backward, she curved her lips into a relaxed smile.

Because she knew someone wouldn't just stand by and watch her fall.

Sure enough, a tall figure stood up swiftly, and in the next second, Lu Miao crashed into a solid chest, his arms wrapping around her slender waist to steady her.

However, Xu Mubai's reaction wasn't as fast as Fu Shiyue's, leaving Bai Youwei to tumble ungracefully to the floor.

Her white dress flew up, looking comical and wretched, and she almost suffered a wardrobe malfunction.

"Youwei!" Xu Mubai was stunned for a moment before hurriedly pulling her up. "Are you alright? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

Bai Youwei's backside was numb from the fall, but how could she bring herself to admit her pain? She got up, gritting her teeth. Even though she was on the verge of tears, the moment she saw Lu Miao standing safe and sound in Fu Shiyue's arms, her anger choked back the tears and she glared with wide, blazing eyes.

Both of them had fallen, yet she had made a fool of herself while this bitch had been pushed right into Fu Shiyue's arms!

Fuming with rage, Bai Youwei pointed at Lu Miao, wanting to frame her. "You... you actually dared to push me!"

"Are you sure I pushed you?" Lu Miao turned her head calmly, her eyebrows cold and clear. "Would you like me to recount the details of what just happened for everyone to hear?"

Having already witnessed Lu Miao's prowess, Bai Youwei felt too guilty to meet her eyes.

Through this sequence of events, everyone around could actually tell that the two girls were secretly competing against each other.

Xu Mubai gave a cough. "It was just a misunderstanding. Youwei, you were too careless."

He scolded Bai Youwei with a pretense of sincerity. The others, taking their cue from the atmosphere and knowing that Xu Mubai and Fu Shiyue were close brothers, smoothly smoothed things over.

"Just a little squabble between young girls, nothing to look at. Come on, let's drink, let's drink."

Wen Ling raised his head. "Fifth Brother, it's been a while since we sparred. Want to play a few rounds?"

Fu Shiyue waved a hand. "I need to watch the kid."

"Bring her over to play together."

Fu Shiyue looked down at Lu Miao. "Want to play?"

She pouted indifferently. "Sure, why not? Sitting over there is a bit awkward anyway, and this way you'll drink less."

Fu Shiyue chuckled softly, seeing that she was bored, and patted her head. "We'll leave in a little while."

Lu Miao nodded. Curious about what kind of sparring they meant, she followed Fu Shiyue, only to discover that they were playing billiards.

Fu Shiyue and Wen Ling were playing while she watched from the side.

She had to admit that this man looked undeniably handsome playing pool.

Fu Shiyue potted a ball almost every shot, leaving Wen Ling with no chance to even approach the table.

"Damn, Fifth Brother, why are you still so good at sinking balls?"

No sooner had Wen Ling finished speaking than he was tapped on the head with a cue.

"Ouch!" Wen Ling clutched his head. "Why hit me?"

Fu Shiyue removed the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and gave him a warning glance. "Watch your mouth, the kid is here."

"Wasn't I just praising your skill?" Wen Ling complained, aggrieved. "I lose to you every single time. You're too heartless. Did you secretly practice at home?"

"She can snipe an enemy right between the eyes from a hundred meters away. Can you?"

Shen Lü walked over and handed a cue to Lu Miao. "Little girl, do you want to give it a try?"

Lu Miao uttered an "ah" and looked extremely embarrassed. "I... I'll pass. I can't even aim properly, I won't give you guys a reason to laugh at me."

"I'll teach you."
