Su Bai smiled slightly and bowed respectfully, saying, "No, maâam, I was just telling the truth."
"Whatever."
Whether itâs true or not doesnât matter anymore, after all...
They were going to divorce anyway, and her importance in his eyes is subjective.
"Madam, there are no mango-flavored ones today, only strawberry. Is that okay?"
"Sure!" Eleven took the appeasement from Su Bai, biting the strawberry-flavored lollipop as she walked ahead of him.
Ahead were groups of girls. Seeing Eleven, they began whispering amongst themselves.
"HeyâIsnât that Fang Eleven?"
"Itâs really her! Whoâs the man next to her?! Heâs in a suit, could he be..."
"Must be! Sheâs at it again!"
Just as she was about to turn the corner to descend the stairs, a few people forced Eleven to retreat.
They were aggressive and had numbers on their side, their wrathful gaze falling entirely on her. At a glance, there were five or six of them, and they looked like delinquents, presumably students from West Shadow.
As a person who understood the situation, Eleven didnât charge head-on and retreated a few steps. Being closer to Su Bai gave her a sense of security.
"Youâre Fang Eleven?" one of them asked, puffing on a cigarette, completely behaving like a hooligan.
"What if I say Iâm not?"
"You think weâre idiots, huh?!"
Eleven spread her hands in exasperation, "Then why did you even ask? Itâs superfluous!"
"You!"
"Iâm asking, what are you bunch of green kids up to?" Su Bai descended a step and smiled at them.
Are they looking for trouble? Who did they think they were dealing with?
"Hey, old man, this woman isnât worth your time!" The guy up front grabbed Elevenâs chin and tapped her face, "Not long ago she was seducing someone elseâs fiancĂ©, and now sheâs been caught with another man. Youâre quite the player, huh."
The next second, that manâs wrist was held tight by a force.
Although Su Bai didnât seem to use much strength, the man grimaced in pain. "Kid, do you know who youâre talking to? Your dirty paw touched someone it shouldnât have."
Three minutes later.
Five or six hoodlums lay sprawled on the ground like stacked dominoes, and Eleven sat atop them, her foot resting on someoneâs buttocks, sucking on her lollipop. She made a scissors gesture at Su Bai for a commemorative photograph.
"Learned your lesson yet?" Su Bai gripped someoneâs chin, warning in a cold voice, "Next time I catch you guys messing with our lady, or if you have dirty mouths like today, I wonât let you off so easily!"
"We wonât dare anymore, we swear..." The guys, beaten up and crying, repented in pain.
Eleven hopped down, picked up Su Baiâs suit jacket and tossed it to him, "Letâs go, Big White!"
Although they had to keep her status as their bossâs wife a secret, he could still let everyone think that she was some rich lady, right? And he was her bodyguard. That made perfect sense!
"Didnât they say Fang Eleven was an orphan? How did she become a rich lady all of a sudden? What the hell..."
...
"Well, who knows!"
Su Bai asked her who those guys were, but Eleven didnât answer.
One could guess that they were sent by Yao Ruoshui, but there was no proof. Plus, since Su Bai was there, she wasnât hurt at all. Eleven didnât want to dig into this matter further.
...
"Mr. Gu, itâs taken care of." Su Bai returned to the Bentley.
Gu Liancheng glanced into the campus, and not seeing Eleven, asked, "Where is she?"
"The lady has class, she said she will be home late."
"Eh, Su Bai? How did you get hurt? Did you go fight monsters or something?"
When Gu Liancheng heard Su Qingâs words, he also looked up and asked with a frown, "What happened?"
