At this moment, Wu Yue's heart was filled with fury. He felt like a clown jumping around, letting Lu Tianxing watch him make a fool of himself from the sidelines.

Just a moment ago, he wanted to show off in front of Xue Man, but in the blink of an eye, someone he looked down upon had already won the beauty's favor first. This stark contrast made Wu Yue's anger uncontrollably surge.

Suppressing his anger, Wu Yue forced a smile on his face and said to Xue Man, "Xiao Man, don't lie to me. I haven't seen you with any boyfriend these days. People at your company also say you don't have a boyfriend. Why find some random guy to pretend to be your boyfriend? Even if you have to find someone, find someone of better quality. Him, just an assistant, he doesn't match you."

Xue Man's expression immediately turned cold: "Wu Yue, what do you mean by that? Do I, Xue Man, need to announce to the world when I find a boyfriend? Let me tell you, as long as he loves me, even if he sweeps the streets, I'm willing."

"Xiao Man, don't be mad. I meant no harm. I'm just saying, you may not like me, but I hope you don't deceive me. What part of him matches you?"

"Shut up."

Xue Man's expression turned even uglier as she looked coldly at Wu Yue and said, "Whether he matches me or not is none of your business. Who are you? At best, you were my college classmate; worse, you're just someone random sticking your nose in. What gives you the right to interfere?"

Hearing Xue Man's words, Wu Yue's face darkened further, unsure how to respond. He could only redirect his focus to Lu Tianxing: "I don't care who you are, but I'm asking you to leave Xiao Man alone. Don't think I don't know your intentions with her. You're just trying to climb up using Xue Man, aren't you? Do you really think you're a match for Xiao Man?"

"Mr. Wu, what do you mean by that? It seems like who I'm with is none of your business. Besides, whether I'm a match for Xiao Man is not for outsiders to gossip about. If you have any self-respect, please leave," Lu Tianxing said indifferently.

As the saying goes, even clay figurines have three parts of anger, let alone people. Not to mention if Xue Man and Wu Yue had any relationship, just Wu Yue stepping up and calling him a fraud would irk anyone.

"Fine, fine, Xiao Man, did you hear that? He's fooling you; he's a fraud."

"So what if I'm a fraud? Xiao Man just likes me, so what? Can't I be good at living? Xiao Man likes that I'm good at living, so what? Do you have a problem with that?" Lu Tianxing said, displeased.

"Lu Tianxing, you bastard, don't talk nonsense."

Hearing Lu Tianxing's words, a blush crept onto Xue Man's face. She pinched Lu Tianxing's waist. Good at living? What did that have to do with her? This bastard's mouth was outrageous.

Lu Tianxing blinked innocently at Xue Man, as if saying, weren't you the one who asked me to shoo this pest away? Why blame me? Plus, I was just stating the truth—I really am good at living, everyone who's experienced knows.

This scene inflamed Wu Yue, who saw Xue Man's coyness as her being shy, which led to her pinching Lu Tianxing. Moreover, the two of them seemed to exchange loving glances.

The conflict between Xue Man and Wu Yue in the somewhat quiet teahouse quickly drew the attention of quite a few onlookers, with many casting their gazes their way.

Feeling the gazes around him, Wu Yue seemed to suffer great humiliation, looking at Lu Tianxing and Xue Man with a cold face, "Fine, really fine, I must have been blind to fancy you. Lu Tianxing, was it? I hope you don't regret it."

"Why would I regret anything concerning you? Wu Yue, whoever I'm with has nothing to do with you, you understand?" Xue Man said coldly.

Hearing Xue Man's words, Wu Yue's face became even more unsightly: "Fine, ruthless you are. I hope you don't regret it."

"Regret? I, Lu Tianxing, never knew the meaning of regret in my life," Lu Tianxing said calmly, staring coldly at Wu Yue.

"You... hmph, let's wait and see."

Wu Yue glared viciously at Lu Tianxing, then turned and left. As he did so, a trace of sinister coldness flashed in his eyes. No matter what, he would make Lu Tianxing pay; he couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Feeling the chilling air emanating from Wu Yue, Lu Tianxing shook his head helplessly. He hoped Wu Yue wouldn't cause trouble; otherwise, he wouldn't mind showing Wu Yue his capabilities.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Tianxing looked helplessly at Xue Man beside him and said, "Minister Xue, he's gone. Can you let go of me now?"

"What, are you unhappy if I hold you?" Xue Man said, looking at Lu Tianxing coldly.

"No."

Lu Tianxing shook his head honestly and said, "Minister Xue, your treasure is too great, it gives me a strong sense of pressure, and I can't quite breathe."

Hearing Lu Tianxing's words, Xue Bing's face darkened, and she said irritatedly, "Lu Tianxing, you really are a shameless guy."

"Shameless? My teeth are very white; I brush them every day."

Lu Tianxing grinned at Xue Man, showing his pearly white teeth.

Seeing this, Xue Man rolled her eyes hard and said softly, "Lu Tianxing, I'm sorry for causing you trouble just now."

"Minister Xue, so you know you caused me trouble, huh? Didn't you see the way that guy looked at me? As if he wanted to kill me. But it doesn't matter; saving a damsel in distress is a man's instinct. However, if you insist on making it up to me, you can give me a kiss, I don't mind," Lu Tianxing said with a smile, thinking to himself how charming this little girl Xue Man was becoming.
