Don’t Be a Kept Man

the door, and she felt her heart soften.
She smiled, running back to hug him and said elongating her syllables,

“Big brotherrr~”

She rarely experienced the feeling of being the younger sister, and didn’t say anything other than this.
Lu Qi patted her head, voice extremely gentle,

“Be good.
Once you get paid, remember to send some money to your brother.”

Lu Yuan immediately changed her attitude, and angrily pushed him,

“Your personality never changes! I’m leaving now.”

Lu Qi laughed in delight.
No matter if it was in this life or the previous one, he had very few memories where he was truly happy.
This kind of bright and handsome youth drew in the gazes of random passersby like moths to a flame.
Yet this scene, in someone’s eyes, stung.

“Ming Chen, what do you keep looking at outside? Are you listening to what I’m saying to you?”

The Huo family dinner was at a nearby hotel, and traffic was jammed.
Cars were moving very slowly, and with one random glance outside the window, Huo Ming Chen could see a very familiar face.

Lu Qi was walking with a beautiful woman.
Kissing and hugging.
Both of them had smiles on their faces, and their background was a hotel.
It was hard not to imagine that something was going on between the two.

Huo Ming Chen’s eyes began to darken with some kind of emotion.
His eyes stayed on Lu Yuan’s seductive and attractive face for a very long time.
But then the driver began to move the car, and their bodies began to disappear from his sight, as if it was just a mirage.

Somehow Huo Ming Chen was able to control himself and did not immediately get out of the car and murder those two fucking adulterers.

He replied to his older brother,

“Not looking at anything.”

He closed his eyes, and was unusually quiet.
However the surging dark aura emitting from him and the veins popping from his forehead made Huo Ming Cheng sense something.

“I know you don’t want to go for dinner, but it’s rare for our uncle to come back.
We still have to show some respect and show up.”

“I know.”

Huo Ming Chen only said this one sentence for the rest of the ride.
His entire person was like a ticking time bomb.
A random word, a random event could set him off.

Oblivious to everything, Lu Qi went to the bank to take out the money in the card.
With everything that he had saved up till now, he discovered he could pretty much pay back his debt.

Once he realized that, he suddenly felt lighter.
It was as if he was finally cured of a long-standing heart problem.
A feeling of no longer being in debt, a feeling of freedom.
He called the unfortunate loan shark to set up a meeting to return the money.
The loan shark was so happy that he almost cried, and stuttered his words,

“Yes, yes yes, I have time this weekend.
At that time, I’ll bring all the pieces of identification that you gave and the debt slip.
I must say, a student from a well known university, is definitely stronger than people like me, so fast at earning money…….”

Lu Qi did not listen to what he was babbling on and on about.
He hung up the phone, and began to seriously think about something for the first time.
