He whispered, “Ning Li, are you really that afraid of your second brother?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always assumed that Lu Huaiyu was kind to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would he really punish Ning Li just because of a rare tiny mistake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Ning Li had only drunk a glass of lemonade. Why was she acting as if she had just killed someone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li ignored him as Lu Huaiyu walked towards them from across the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared to be in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was dark but it did not dampen his noble bearing. His unique presence made his surroundings pale into the background, creating a strong contrast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li subconsciously clenched the sleeves of her school uniform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never even felt this nervous whenever she was called out by the whole school,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, Lu Huaiyu came closer. Each step felt like he was stomping on her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The closer he got, the faster her heartbeat became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lu Huaiyu’s imposing figure stood in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second brother,” she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others said en masse, “Second brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li had never been so embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu’s eyes scanned over the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breeze carried the scent of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and the others had obviously had a drink or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was understandable. It was a big day for Ji Shu, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded as a sign of greeting before turning his gaze to Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why are you here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li cleared her throat. “I was planning to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at her inquisitively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This place seems interesting. Are you not going to invite me in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu wanted to step aside, but he hesitated when Ning Li stood as still as a monolith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shook her head. “It’s not that interesting. It’s boring, so you don’t have to go in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu and his friends felt as if they had been slapped in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Huaiyu had not been in front of them, they would surely have argued with Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, Lu Huaiyu’s presence intimidated them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even just simply standing there, his presence unnerved even the boys, let alone Ning Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even sensed a hint of danger in his presence, hence the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu seemed a little disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, really? Then you must have wasted the past 1 hour and 15 minutes after your night self-learning class.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li realized that the man liked being calculative, but she was the one being judged here as she had been caught red-handed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not do anything else but accept the judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second brother, I want to go back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept to her tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked down at the girl in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to raise her head to stare into his eyes. The hint of nervousness in her eyes made her look pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you take me home?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, she was asking to be pampered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu raised a brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She only behaved this obediently when she did something wrong. She was smart, she knew what to say to silence the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had so many ways to manipulate his emotions, and he… could do nothing about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, he nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stretched his hand out and Ning Li handed him her bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took her phone out. “Should I call for a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay. Let’s go for a walk to get rid of the alcoholic smell.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li gulped as she put her phone away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu looked at Ji Shu and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll take Lili back now. You guys may continue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu responded almost instantaneously, “OKAY! Second master! Be careful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang’s jaw dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh! Second master, I’m going the same way, can I tag…Ouch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu stomped on his feet before pulling him back with an awkward smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, Master Gu, there’s still a few more bottles left. You can’t leave us now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Siyang widened his eyes in shock. ‘Since when did I owe you guys that many bottles? I thought everyone was having fun!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu tossed a glance at his friends and everyone helped to drag Gu Siyang back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, Master Gu, you can’t do this to us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah! Just like what Master Gu said, everything tonight is on him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group’s noise drowned out Gu Siyang’s voice in an instant and he was dragged away before he could react.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu smiled at Lu Huaiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll leave Sister Lili in your hands then, Second Master Lu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not forget to toss another glance at Ning Li, telling her to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two walked away, Ji Shu put his hands together and prayed for Ning Li in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amen. May God bless you, Sister Lili.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waited until both of them disappeared from his sight before entering the club again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he got back to the second floor, the others surrounded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy sh*t! That’s Lu Huaiyu? He’s really something! Look at how Sister Lili behaved in front of him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah! Damn, I’ve known Sister Lili for so long and this is the first time I’ve ever seen her so afraid of someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tsk. I guess we learned something today. Even Sister Lili has her weak spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Shu grunted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you guys are going to speculate, why don’t you think about whether the second master will blame you guys for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li strolled side by side with Lu Huaiyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere had gotten so quiet, to the point that it felt tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, Lu Huaiyu asked, “Are you sober now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Li pouted. “Second brother, I really did not drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu stopped and turned to her; Ning Li followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were deep, so deep that it seemed like it contained something alive in there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then reached out for the back of her head and moved her closer to him as he bent slightly over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distance between them shortened immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shocked, Ning Li widened her eyes. Her heart raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Huaiyu moved closer to her face. The high bridge of his nose grazed her dainty nose as he moved towards her lips for a sniff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said with his rich voice. “Let me check?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lips were next to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>",1075,"2026-05-30T09:09:42.756Z","2026-06-01T04:30:51.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","0017e5d0d48660ec90e1dd657cd3c6b18ae39b25d89afb4155aeab8c78c69592","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-165","the-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-chapter-163",1251,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-little-brat-s-sweet-and-sassy-cover.jpg"]
