Seeing Qiao Lianjiu just a meter away from being crushed under our wheels, I was furious and rushed down. "Qiao Lianjiu! Are you out of your mind? Why the hell are you standing in the middle of the road? If you want to die, don’t do it under our wheels! I don’t want to go to jail... uh..."
Before I could finish my sentence, I noticed something was off with Qiao Lianjiu.
Su Anrong had also gotten out and stood beside me. In front of my rival, he possessively draped his arm over my shoulder, his gaze following mine as it landed on Qiao Lianjiu.
Qiao Lianjiu looked strange now, especially in his expression. Earlier, he had seemed determined to win me over, but now his face was contorted with barely suppressed anger.
"Why did you give my ring to someone else?" he gritted through his teeth.
I hadn’t even opened my mouth when Su Anrong stepped in front of me and dragged Qiao Lianjiu into the car.
What’s going on? I thought he would assertively say that the ring didn’t belong to Qiao Lianjiu in the first place.
"I don’t want traffic jams over this trivial matter."
This was Su Anrong's explanation to me, and it also served as an explanation for Qiao Lianjiu. Then he brought us to stop in front of a... public restroom.
Seriously, Su Anrong, can’t you find a better place? It stinks!
"Get out of the car." Su Anrong said coldly to Qiao Lianjiu while standing by the back door.
Despite being a popular figure at our school, Qiao Lianjiu clearly disliked being spoken to like this by Su Anrong and was reluctant to get out.
However, two Lizard Spirits acted as bodyguards without waiting for Su Anrong’s command and forcibly pulled Qiao Lianjiu out.
"What are you doing?" Qiao Lianjiu finally couldn’t hold back and shouted.
Su Anrong said nothing as he walked into the men's restroom, and the two Lizard Spirits shoved Qiao Lianjiu inside as well.
I started to worry. "Su Anrong! Don’t do anything reckless!"
But no one answered me. A bad feeling crept up inside me. Was Su Anrong really taking advantage of not being human to act so recklessly? Qiao Lianjiu must have seen the ring on Chen Siyuan's hand and asked about it. Although it was a bit complicated, couldn’t they just have a proper conversation? There was no need to drag him into the men’s restroom for a beating!
If it weren't for the men coming in and out of the restroom, I would have really wanted to rush in and see what they were up to.
After a difficult wait of about five minutes, Qiao Lianjiu was the first to come out. Seeing that he was intact, I felt relieved.
“Qiao Lianjiu,” I hurried over, “Are you okay?” To be honest, I wasn't really worried about him; I was just afraid that Su Anrong might hit him.
Qiao Lianjiu gave me a complex look and then said lightly, “I’m fine,” before walking away.
What? He just left?
Did I approach him the wrong way? Wasn't he supposed to question me about the ring? Although I hadn't figured out my lines yet, the direction of the scene had suddenly changed, leaving me a bit dazed!
Su Anrong came out from behind and hugged me tightly. “Wife, your eyes are about to follow other men!” As he spoke, he deliberately rubbed his wet hands against me.
“Damn you and your garlic sauce! You’re getting me all wet!” I wanted to perform a shoulder throw like those female cops in movies but ended up being embraced by Su Anrong instead. We were showing off our affection right at the restroom entrance, making the women coming out of the ladies' room turn green with envy.
Even though he was holding me tightly, those women still spoke loudly as if they were afraid others wouldn't hear them. “Wow! So handsome!”
“Must be from a film academy!”
“That girl looks so rough; how could he possibly like her?”
One of them lowered her voice and said, “You just don’t know. These days, as long as you have skills, it doesn’t matter what you look like; someone will want you!”
“Oh my! How shameless! Hahaha!” The group of women burst into laughter.
I felt my face flush with anger.
Rough-looking? You’re the ones who look rough! Your words are as foul as the waste that comes out of your stomach!
Suddenly, I felt Su Anrong's hands loosen around me, and a sense of loss washed over me. Did Su Anrong also think they were right and feel embarrassed by my appearance?
Just as I was thinking this, I saw Su Anrong walk toward them. He smiled, and immediately drew a chorus of screams from that group of infatuated women.
"Beautiful lady, could you lend me a pair of high heels?" His voice was so gentle it could almost drip with sweetness. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy; he had never spoken to me like that!
The girl was naturally taken aback, her heart fluttering as she happily took off her shoes and handed them to Su Anrong. He accepted them, not bothering to hide his exaggerated reaction, then awkwardly laughed, "The scent is a bit strong, haha!"
The other women followed suit, giggling along, "Haha, it really is a bit."
Then, under my puzzled gaze and the expectant looks of the women, Su Anrong placed the high heels under the faucet, filled them with water, and to everyone's shock, poured the full shoes of water over the woman's head!
Oh my goodness!
Su Anrong, what are you doing?
The women were so stunned they forgot to scream, standing still like statues. The drenched woman's hair clung to her face, her makeup ruined. Most importantly, the foul water from her shoes trickled down to her lips.
Su Anrong tossed the shoes aside. "Only I have the right to judge my wife's skills! You should evaluate your own men’s skills instead! With makeup that thick, it's bad for your skin. The water in your shoes has a cleansing effect; you might want to try it." With that, he took my hand and left without looking back.
The two Lizard Spirits who had just returned from the restroom mimicked Su Anrong and filled the high heels with water again, splashing it all over that group of women. Of course… they were chased after.
Back in the car, Su Anrong looked at me seriously. "Wife, do you know? I actually had no confidence just now."
I blinked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"I mean when I said only I have the right to judge your skills; I actually can't judge at all! How about you show me what you've got today? Then I can make a judgment for future comments… Ah! Wife, can we discuss this? Could you please not pinch me in the future?"
"The You's Ultimate Technique—it's hard-earned and I can't let it go to waste! Now tell me what you said to Qiao Lianjiu earlier. Why did he come at me so fiercely wanting to settle scores but left so easily?"
"What else could I say? I always speak the truth; of course I told him the truth!" Su Anrong winked at me nonchalantly and added meaningfully, "Every word was absolute truth."
I was slightly taken aback. "Did you reveal your identity to him?"
"Of course."
"Aren't you afraid... afraid he might bring someone to catch you?" I lowered my voice, wary of being overheard by anyone with ill intentions.
"Honey, you don't need to worry about this. To me, an ordinary Taoist is as cute as an ant. Not only am I not afraid of being caught by them, but I wouldn't even be scared if they tried."
"Stop boasting. There are always people better than you out there. The key is, I haven't seen you do anything impressive." However, I decided to swallow that comment for now to avoid arguing with him.
"I haven't seen anyone yet," he said confidently. "By the way, I need to remind you of something. The Qiao Family might come looking for Chen Siyuan soon, so tell your friend to be careful."
"They're after Siyuan? Because of that ring?"
"Yes, that ring is the heirloom of the Qiao Family, but it can only be passed down to females. Unfortunately, in this generation, Qiao Lianjiu's mother only had him as a son, so the ring has remained with her."
"Then how did you end up giving it to Chen Siyuan?" This topic still made me a bit uncomfortable since it was the same diamond ring he had given me first.
"The Qiao Family is a Ghost-catching Family. This ring has the ability to lock souls. Chen Siyuan's original body is gone; only her soul remains. To ensure her soul doesn't perish, there are two methods: one is to wear this ring, and the other is for her to be taken by the King of Hell and reincarnated. However, someone without a body wouldn't have a good rebirth even if they were reincarnated. So for now, I've used this method to protect her soul. I just didn't expect the Qiao Family to discover so quickly that she had the ring."
"What should we do now?"
"There are also two methods. One is to fight; if we win, the ring will be ours."
"Come on, don't jump to violence. Since the Qiao Family is a Ghost-catching Family, you might not even be able to defeat them."
Su Anrong remained noncommittal and continued, "The second method is for Chen Siyuan to marry Qiao Lianjiu, but it requires both parties to agree."
