Chapter 336: You Have No Chance Anymore

~7 min read 1,329 words

Just after eating, it was still early, Bao Feng and Bao Yun took out the things they bought during the day and tried them on inside the house.

"Oh dear, our big brother is really great; I've never worn leather shoes in my life."

Yan Baoyun tugged the new scarf around her neck and said, "Exactly, if you ask me, our big brother is divorced, so why not just marry little Cui from our second aunt's family to him?"

"Don't mess around, our big brother may be divorced, but he still doesn't fancy our country girls; it's not suitable, not suitable…"

Both of them had loud voices; hearing the commotion from Xi Er Fang, Lu Feng smiled helplessly.

"Lu Cheng, you shouldn't have bought so many things."

"I didn't buy much; as long as Sister Bao Feng and Sister Bao Yun are happy, that's enough. Come on, big brother, let's go to the bathhouse for a soak."

Lu Feng used to take baths often, but since the countryside labor team, he hasn't had the chance.

The two brothers went to the nearest bathhouse; Lu Cheng originally didn't want to go to this one, mainly because he didn't want to see Li Huiying.

But it was already night, and if they ran too far away, big brother would certainly start asking all sorts of questions again.

At the public bathing pool, they inevitably ran into Li Huiying.

Since there was no foot‑repair service at the moment, Li Huiying obviously also noticed Lu Cheng.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time; since the last time she set aside her pride and actively went looking for Lu Cheng, she had been angry in her heart.

Even though she proactively asked for reconciliation, Lu Cheng deliberately kept cold.

Now it's over, you regret it, don't you? You came knocking!

Li Huiying, wearing the bathhouse work uniform, stepped forward, crossed her arms and said, "Why are you coming to find me again?"

Looking at the comrade in front of him, Lu Feng was a bit puzzled; why did this comrade speak with such a lofty attitude?

"Lu Cheng, do you know each other? Who is this?"

Lu Cheng had previously taken so many Pick-up Artists, and the big brother far out in the countryside had no idea.

"Big brother, you go in first; I just ran into an old acquaintance."

Seeing that the two indeed knew each other, Lu Feng didn't ask further and went into the inner bathhouse first.

After Lu Feng left, Lu Cheng frowned and said, "Who the hell is looking for you? I'm just here to bathe."

Li Huiying didn't believe it at all: "Alright, stop being stubborn! You said you wanted to find me, so you came; there's no need to bring someone else along. I know you're regretting it; a big man can't save face."

Lu Cheng had no idea what she was talking about: "Now I finally understand what I liked about you before. I fucking just like confident women like you."

It had already been made clear that he had no feelings for this woman, yet Li Huiying thought he was playing hard to get.

Li Huiying pretended to praise her: "You finally see my strengths, but it's too late for regret now, because you're with me; there's no chance left."

While speaking, Li Huiying also flicked her finger in front of Lu Cheng's face twice.

Lu Cheng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow; the tone didn't sound right.

"Yo, have you found a new partner?"

Li Huiying wore a smug smile: "I have to say you're clever; you're right. I indeed found a new partner, and he's much stronger than you, Junior Police Officer."

No wonder the attitude changed; it seems she found a decent new partner, and Lu Cheng felt very sad.

He felt sorry for the partner Li Huiying had found.

Any family that ends up with a woman like Li Huiying will surely have no good future.

Seeing Lu Cheng fall silent, Li Huiying thought he was sad, and her face instantly broke into a satisfied smile.

"Oh dear, I heard you are divorced now."

Lu Cheng wasn't surprised at all that Li Huiying knew about the divorce; everyone in Hu Tong Li knew, it must have been Uncle Sun, who manages the bathhouse, and Li Huiying overheard it during idle chat.

Little did he know, Lu Cheng was actually mistaken; Li Huiying learned about it through Qin Shousheng.

"You said back then, I let you get divorced, and you did well! At that time I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it. What a pity, such a pity..."

Li Huiying thought Lu Cheng was divorced, which is why she kept entangling him.

"Do you think you're the only man in the world? There are plenty of good men, so don't come looking for me again; I'm afraid he'll misunderstand..."

The woman was truly noisy; Lu Cheng was too lazy to listen to her muttering, so he turned to go soak.

"Hey, why are you leaving? Don't you want to know who I'm with now?"

Lu Cheng wasn't interested at all, but the more Li Huiying saw his indifferent demeanor, the more she thought he was pretending.

"Hmph, you won't listen, so I'll tell you honestly: I'm together with your good buddy Shousheng."

"Qin Shousheng? Huh? Lu Cheng was suddenly interested."

Seeing Lu Cheng stop in his tracks, Li Huiying knew she had provoked him.

"How is it? Are you surprised? Are you shocked?"

Indeed surprised and shocked, Lu Cheng turned around: "No, why are you two together?"

Given the Qin family's background and Li Huiying being a foot‑repair worker, the two are completely unrelated.

Li Huiying let out a sudden snicker: "Don't worry about that. Anyway, Shousheng likes me, I like him too, and with his family's standing, you couldn't catch up even in eight lifetimes."

Lu Cheng scratched his ear; the Qin family's conditions are good, but marrying Li Huiying would probably get him killed by that woman.

"So when are you two planning to get married?"

"See, I told you you're still thinking of me! Why are you always so stubborn?"

"Yes, yes, I'm just afraid you'll be deceived, so I want you to marry quickly; then I can be at ease."

Li Huiying smiled: "You can worry about me; that shows you have some conscience. As for when to marry, Shousheng said he'll introduce me to his parents when the chance arises."

Lu Cheng felt something was off; based on his experience with Pick-up Artists, this was obviously an excuse.

Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh; most likely Qin Shousheng was deliberately stringing this woman along.

He truly hoped Qin Shousheng would quickly marry this disaster off, so she wouldn't cause trouble for anyone else.

Hearing Lu Cheng's sigh, Li Huiying felt even more satisfied.

"I know you're in pain now, but it's because we have no fate together; your sorrow won't help, after all there's no regret‑selling medicine in the world. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for not giving me the recruitment quota back then!"

There is no regret‑selling medicine in the world, but Lu Cheng got a chance to be reborn, and it let him see this woman's true face.

Well then, I wish you happiness; hurry up and get married. I can tell you, the Qin family's conditions are excellent, you mustn't let this big fish slip away.

Li Huiying was indifferent: "You don't need to worry, my charm won't run away from him."

She thought it over; after finally meeting someone with such good conditions, she would cling to Qin Shou no matter what.

If he doesn't marry her, she'll fake a pregnancy and force the Qin family to take her as a wife.

Only after pulling back the curtain and stepping into the pool inside did Lu Cheng burst into loud laughter, leaving Lu Feng bewildered.
