Chapter 157: Shield Rushes Into The Fray
As soon as Han Yixuan got off the plane, she called Wang Heng’s mobile phone number.
When the call connected, she had already calmed her mood and asked in a calm tone: “Hi, how’s your situation over there?”
“Situation?” Wang Heng pondered for a moment, “How should I put it… I really need you to help me fend her off.”
Han Yixuan: “What exactly is the situation? Just say you have a girlfriend, or are you being pestered?”
Wang Heng: “No, she’s not pestering me, or rather, not in a very cheap, persistent way. She’s using the guise of making friends to get closer to me and my family and friends, and she hasn’t shown any flaws the whole time. At most, she just makes people feel a little ambiguous. That’s why it’s hard for me to refuse, do you understand? She hasn’t even confessed her feelings.”
Alarm bells rang in Han Yixuan’s mind.
As expected, this opponent was quite troublesome.
The young girl hesitated and couldn’t help but ask: “Then, is she pretty?”
Wang Heng sighed: “You’ll know when you come and see.”
“If that’s the case, then why don’t you agree to her?”
Han Yixuan was indeed a bit curious, after all, she could never have imagined miraculous reasons like ‘avoiding a cleaver’ or ‘increasing the transparency of the asura field’.
Wang Heng’s answer, however, was much more normal: “Because I don’t want to date right now, and I don’t like overly proactive girls. I don’t like losing control in a romantic relationship. She’s too assertive.”
“So that’s how it is, I understand…”
Not only did she understand, but the young girl secretly gasped in relief. Fortunately, she didn’t do anything further after her first confession, and fortunately, she had maintained a reserved demeanor after their reunion some time ago. Otherwise, wouldn’t she have ruined everything?
Wang Heng: “So that’s how it is. I’ve already told her that I’m bringing you to dinner tonight to meet her.”
Han Yixuan subconsciously nodded and then asked: “I still don’t know, what’s this young lady’s name?”
“Lu Qi.”

Before leaving the bus station, Han Yixuan first called her best friend Song Xiaoxia.
“Hello, Xiaoxia, can you cover for me later?”
Song Xiaoxia was a bit puzzled: “Cover for you for what?”
Han Yixuan: “It’s very simple. If my parents call you, just say I’m with you.”
Song Xiaoxia: “So, you don’t plan to find me, you just want me to cover for you?”
Han Yixuan: “Yes, that’s right.”
Song Xiaoxia couldn’t help but ask: “Then what exactly are you going to do? Don’t tell me you’re looking for a man?”
Han Yixuan: “What do you mean looking for a man? I just want to be alone and quiet… To be honest, I want to go to an internet cafe to play games.”
Song Xiaoxia was even more surprised: “You play games?”
Han Yixuan: “Yes, I’ve been doing research in the game market during the holidays and have come into contact with quite a few. Let me tell you, some games are really fun!”
Song Xiaoxia: “Nonsense, you don’t have to tell me! I’ve played more games than you’ve taken exams! I just find it strange, you never used to play games…”
“That’s because I’ve grown up. Alright, that’s enough, help me cover for me tonight, and I’ll treat you to some good food and drinks when I have time!”
After making arrangements with her best friend, she dragged her suitcase out of the station and saw her parents waiting for her at the doorway.
Getting into the car her father was driving, she smiled and deflected her mother’s endless questions. Han Yixuan’s performance was still the same as always, a well-behaved and obedient daughter.
However, after returning home and putting down her luggage, Han Yixuan went to the restroom to tidy up and change her clothes.
Then she walked to the front door: “Dad, Mom, don’t worry about my dinner, I’ve made plans with Xiaoxia.”
Her mother pointed at the food on the table: “You child, we’ve already prepared it for you!”
“Mom, I’m not a child anymore. It’s normal for me to have my own arrangements. Okay, okay, I’ll be back before ten o’clock, rest assured!”
With that, Han Yixuan opened the door and ran out.
Her parents said a few more things behind her, but she didn’t hear clearly, nor did she pay much attention. After all, judging by their tone, it wasn’t anything urgent or important, just casual nagging.
Arriving at the roadside, she waited at the bus station for less than half a minute before Han Yixuan impatiently took a taxi and headed straight for Wang Heng’s house.
In the car, she took out her phone, looked at the call record from two hours ago, and recalled the content of her conversation with Wang Heng at the time.
“Lu Qi…”
She repeated the name, looked out the window at the street receding behind her, and secretly clenched her fists.
The taxi driver subtly glanced at the rearview mirror.
For some reason, he felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of murderous intent. Was it because of the girl in the back seat? But this girl looked so well-behaved and quiet, it shouldn’t be…

Wang Jian was sitting on the sofa watching television, but his attention was not on the screen in front of him. After all, it was showing a repetitive advertisement, which was really not interesting.
What caught his attention was the wall behind the television—behind the wall was his son’s bedroom, and at this moment, Lu Qi was in the bedroom with Wang Heng.
Earlier, when the two were chatting, they discussed something from a book and had a slight disagreement. As it happened, Wang Heng’s bedroom had that book, so they went in to find it.
Wang Jian was delighted and gratified by this scene.
The bedroom door was not closed, and he could still hear their conversation from the sofa—although he couldn’t hear exactly what they were saying, they seemed to be getting along very well, clearly having a lot of common language.
“Stinky brat, you need to seize the opportunity…” Wang Jian muttered to himself.
But just then, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Jian turned his head and stared at the room door, feeling a bit puzzled. He remembered that after dinner last night, he had specifically pulled Xiao Renjian aside to give him a stern warning and had even secretly slipped him some money, just so that kid wouldn’t interfere with his pig digging for cabbage. Logically, Xiao Renjian shouldn’t be coming to disturb them today, right?
Wang Jian walked to the door, opened it, and was surprised to see a pretty girl standing outside.
She had long hair falling over her shoulders, a sweet and slightly shy face, and spoke very politely: “Hello, uncle, sorry to bother you. I’m looking for Classmate Wang Heng, is he inside?”
“You’re looking for Wang Heng…”
Wang Jian turned around and saw his son walking out of the bedroom, with Lu Qi behind him.
Lu Qi and Han Yixuan’s gazes immediately met.
Regarding this encounter, both girls had thought of many possibilities and various ways to respond, but at this moment, when this scene became a reality, both of them had only friendly smiles on their faces, showing no trace of hostility.
Wang Heng took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet, placed them at the doorway, and said to the young girl: “Come in, let’s talk in the inner room.”
Han Yixuan nodded, put on the slippers, and followed Wang Heng into his bedroom. Of course, Lu Qi followed them as well.
This time, Wang Heng closed the door.
Wang Jian stood at the doorway, motionless, somewhat dazed.
He really couldn’t understand what his son was doing. When others create opportunities for themselves, it’s usually a man and a woman alone in a room.
But… two beautiful girls, what exactly does this brat intend to do?
