Chapter 492: Achievements

"You... you little brat..."

Shen Lingyu was trembling with anger, but compared to the pain on her face, Gu Lingling’s words felt like a knife stabbing into her heart, making it hurt even more.

Indeed, she’s known Yang Yunhai since they were kids, and for all these years he hasn’t exactly been unaware of her feelings. In fact, you could say that there isn’t anyone in the entire military district who doesn’t know Shen Lingyu likes Yang Yunhai, to the extent that she followed him to Qin City because of it.

But what about Yang Yunhai? He’s still the same as always, just like before.

She believed that Yang Yunhai wouldn’t fall in love with any other woman in this lifetime, so Shen Lingyu thought that as long as she was there by his side, when he got tired and wanted a home, he’d naturally see her.

But unexpectedly, she let her guard down just a bit, and Gu Lingling took advantage of it, capturing Yang Yunhai’s attention.

More hateful is that now she’s flaunting it in front of her.

A countryside girl!

Why?

She had already received three slaps, Shen Lingyu’s face was red and painfully swollen. This is a grudge she must avenge.

Luckily, there were hardly any people around, or else Shen Lingyu’s reputation would be ruined.

This damned brat.

Shen Lingyu gritted her teeth, glaring venomously at Gu Lingling, wishing she could devour her alive, truthfully, Shen Lingyu indeed thought that way.

Three slaps had spurred a murderous intent towards Gu Lingling in Shen Lingyu.

"Clap clap clap"

At this moment, someone walked over applauding, laughing, "Who is swaggering around here? Oh, it’s you, Shen Lingyu, haven’t seen you in years and you sure have progressed."

Shen Lingyu’s expression froze. "Liu Qing, this is none of your business, don’t meddle."

"You bullying her does concern me." Liu Qing came over, wrapping an arm around Gu Lingling’s shoulder he said.

Gu Lingling, "..."

Are they close?

It seemed like just yesterday they were bickering, and Liu Qing walked off angrily.

Why is he acting like this now?

Could it be a change in strategy?

"What are you looking at? You silly thing? Got bullied into being naive?" Liu Qing glared at Gu Lingling, disappointed, "Aren’t you usually quite capable? Why do you cower in front of her? Look at yourself."

Pu pu...

Gu Lingling, "..."

She nearly spat out blood in frustration.

So, Liu Qing, what’s with your perception? Who’s bullying whom here?

Can’t you see Shen Lingyu’s swollen face?

I just hit her myself.

And I can surely confirm that Liu Qing saw it.

Moreover, Liu Qing’s sudden act of protection left Gu Lingling a bit perplexed!

"Liu Qing, don’t you twist the truth here." Shen Lingyu was furious, first she was slapped by a countryside girl, and now she encountered her nemesis Liu Qing.

Today, if she doesn’t teach this brat a lesson, she won’t bear the name Shen!

"Come on now, Shen Lingyu." Liu Qing shielded Gu Lingling behind him, "Bullying a small-town girl, aren’t you ashamed?"

"What are you standing there for? Weren’t you going to read the paper? Slacking off because I’m not there?"

These latter words were directed at Gu Lingling.

Gu Lingling, "..."

Who’s slacking off, speaking as though I’m doing it for her?

However, Gu Lingling did appreciate Liu Qing’s goodwill.

Despite their routine banter, truth be told, Liu Qing is more likable than Shen Lingyu.

At least Liu Qing’s intentions are visible on his face, unlike Shen Lingyu who’s always scheming in the shadows, or looking down on her arrogantly.

"Aren’t you leaving?" Liu Qing said disdainfully, "You fool."

Fine then, Gu Lingling decided to take back what she just said.

This person is also quite annoying.
