Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue both stared blankly at Tang Rao. How did this guy know Lu Xin?

And, the tone and attitude of his words just now, could it be that there was some sort of past grudge between him and Lu Xin?

Inside the dormitory building, Luo Lili and Yun Xi were both flabbergasted.

They had never expected things to turn out this way.

Clearly, there was an arranged marriage between Tang Rao and Jiang Langhuan, and Tang Rao had promised Jiang Langhuan that he would dissolve the marriage if she found a boyfriend. Now, Jiang Langhuan had found a boyfriend, and that boyfriend was Lu Xin.

Tang Rao and Lu Xin truly had some stories that couldn't go unmentioned.

"Xiao Xi, I think Tang Rao is really tragic," Luo Lili said to Yun Xi.

Yun Xi frowned and then nodded.

Indeed, Tang Rao was somewhat pitiable, having agreed with Jiang Langhuan that he would dissolve their engagement if she found a boyfriend, which was an act of utmost propriety. However, Jiang Langhuan had the misfortune of finding Lu Xin.

"Do you think Lu Xin intentionally went after Jiang Langhuan to get revenge on Tang Rao?" Luo Lili speculated wildly.

Yun Xi shook her head: "That's unlikely. Lu Xin has been pursuing Jiang Langhuan for a long time, and it seems like just these past few days, Jiang Langhuan finally relented. It's not entirely official with Lu Xin, just an acknowledgment of his existence."

"How do you know so much?" Luo Lili looked curiously at Yun Xi.

"I... It's nothing... I just know..." Yun Xi waved her hand, clearly not wanting to delve into the matter.

"I think I might know why," Luo Lili suddenly said, "Could it be that you once liked Lu Xin?"

Luo Lili's words made Yun Xi freeze, but eventually, she nodded helplessly.

Just as Luo Lili had said, she had secretly liked Lu Xin.

Hence, she paid attention to him and gathered some information about him.

Of course, that was in the past. Now, she only felt disgust towards Lu Xin. Sometimes, liking someone is because of the distance; once you truly understand and interact with them, you might find that you don't like them as much as you thought.

"So it really is true." Luo Lili was astounded; she had just randomly guessed, and it turned out to be right.

...

"By the way, is Lu Xin free right now? Call him out, and we'll treat you both to a meal," Tang Rao said to Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue.

For some reason, both Jiang Langyue and Jiang Langhuan felt that Tang Rao was up to no good.

This guy, definitely had ulterior motives.

"Forget it, Lu Xin is in class right now. Besides, since everything is clear now, let's leave it at that. From now on, pretend you don't know me or my sister, and we'll try not to appear before you," Jiang Langyue told Tang Rao.

As she spoke, Jiang Langyue inexplicably felt a surge of discomfort.

She had always looked down on Tang Rao, but in the past few months, it was as if he had become a completely different person—stronger, more outstanding, and so admirable that they could only look up to him.

Jiang Langyue had a fiery temper, but she was still a young woman at an age where romantic thoughts are inevitable.

Secretly, she had thought of Tang Rao countless times.

But what use was that? Jiang Langyue knew well that neither she nor her sister had any possibilities left with Tang Rao; they were simply in different worlds.

Sects, the Nine Realms, the Seventy-two Domains—all these powerful places had been visited by Tang Rao.

As for their Jiang family? They were merely a mediocre aristocratic family, with the strongest among them only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Being so heartless?" Tang Rao grinned, not having had a secret crush on Lu Xin like Yun Xi, thus unaware that Lu Xin had been pursuing Jiang Langhuan for a long time.

Tang Rao knew that Lu Xin had a grudge against him, and now he had pursued Jiang Langhuan.

This isn't a coincidence at all; it's very likely that Lu Xin knew about his relationship with Jiang Langhuan and did this on purpose, to disgust and get back at him.

"I'll set up a meeting with him then," Tang Rao took out his phone and called Yan Wei.

A few seconds later, Tang Rao got Lu Xin's number from Yan Wei and dialed it directly.

"Who is this?" From the other end of the phone, Lu Xin's voice came through, sounding in a good mood.

Indeed, that was the case. These past few days, he finally received Jiang Langhuan's approval, and Lu Xin felt completely relieved. Although he hadn't yet held hands or kissed Jiang Langhuan and then whatever follows, he believed that it wouldn't be long before he would have both cheese and bread.

"It's me, Tang Rao."

On the other end of the phone, Lu Xin's smile instantly disappeared.

These past few days, he hadn't provoked Tang Rao and actually, he no longer wanted to compete with Tang Rao. Because of Jiang Langhuan, because she didn't reject him.

For Lu Xin, not rejecting was equivalent to agreeing—it was a beautiful beginning.

"What do you want now?" Lu Xin asked.

"Listen to how you speak. Come over to the girls' dorm area. I'll treat you, and have Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue join us for a meal," Tang Rao said cheerfully.

Hearing Tang Rao's words, Lu Xin immediately got excited.

His hand gripping the phone couldn't help but tighten.

"Tang Rao, what are you trying to do! I'm warning you, if you dare touch my girlfriend, I'll fight you to the death!" Lu Xin shouted, then immediately hung up.

Tang Rao thought that Lu Xin was deliberately getting close to Jiang Langhuan to get back at him, while Lu Xin thought Tang Rao was targeting Jiang Langhuan to undermine him.

Both of them viewed each other as utterly despicable.

"Alright, he should be coming over soon." Tang Rao put down his phone and looked towards the dorm building, "Yun Xi, come here."

Luo Lili and Yun Xi were both stunned for a moment. How did Tang Rao find them?

The guy hadn't even glanced in their direction the entire time.

That's amazing.

Since they'd been called out, Luo Lili and Yun Xi couldn't keep hiding, so they had to come forward.

"I'll be having a meal with them later, you two join us too," Tang Rao said to Yun Xi and Luo Lili.

Yun Xi instinctively wanted to refuse. What does their previous matter have to do with me?

But in the end, Yun Xi couldn't bring herself to say it.

Like Luo Lili said, Tang Rao seemed a bit pitiful.

His engagement was broken off, and it seems Lu Xin had him cuckolded, quite pitiful indeed.

"Let me introduce, this is Yun Xi and her roommate Luo Lili," Tang Rao pointed and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm pursuing Yun Xi, haha, she's super interesting."

Everyone: "..."

Anyway, a bunch of girls couldn't understand what Tang Rao was trying to pull.

"Tang Rao, what are you trying to do!" Soon, a roar came from a distance, clearly, Lu Xin had arrived.

However, upon seeing that there were Yun Xi, Luo Lili, Jiang Langhuan, and Jiang Langyue besides the dorm entrance, Lu Xin was slightly stunned.

So many people? What's going on?

"Come, let's reintroduce, I am Tang Rao, the Tang Rao from Huang Dynasty Industries, the fiancé of Jiang Langhuan," Tang Rao looked towards Lu Xin and spoke indifferently.
