Chapter 480: Chapter 462: Trap

Lu Jinsheng got up early in the morning and sneakily slipped out. When he passed by the yard, he was stunned by the strawberries grown on the shelves, layer upon layer, in the yard.

The fruits, red and glistening with dew, looked like art pieces against the backdrop of green leaves, enough to whet anyone’s appetite with just one glance.

Lu Jinsheng paused, reached out to pick several strawberries, and without washing them, popped them directly into his mouth. The sweet fragrance of the strawberries made him close his eyes in enjoyment. If it weren’t for the fear of his mother discovering him and stopping him from leaving the house, he reckoned he could stand there and gorge himself before departing.

Delicious food is certainly valuable, but freedom is priceless.

Lu Jinsheng did not dare to linger, preparing to make a quick escape. But just before leaving, an idea struck him, and he stealthily sneaked into the kitchen to grab a small crystal bowl. He quickly picked a dozen or so strawberries and placed them directly into his Space Storage Device--thinking he could surprise his mother with them when he returned.

Lu Jinsheng wouldn’t be foolish enough to use the number 11 bus during his "running away from home" escapade. As soon as he arrived home yesterday, he had already asked the butler to move his Phaeton from the villa’s garage to the courtyard where he was now parked.

The sound of the car starting woke Xia Na. She turned over and sleepily asked Lu Aiguo, "What time is it? Who’s going out at this hour?" After asking, she jolted awake, realizing that the only person who could depart at this time and cause the sound of the car starting to disturb her was none other than Lu Jinsheng.

She rolled out of bed, threw on her bathrobe, and made a round through the house. Surely enough, she couldn’t find any trace of Lu Jinsheng. When she called his phone and got no answer for a long while, she eventually heard the ring coming from his room.

"This is too much, way too much... He did this on purpose; wait until he gets back and sees if I don’t beat him to death," Xia Yuan trembled with anger and frustration as she slammed down her phone.

Fortunately, Lu Aiguo was quick to react and snatched the phone back, saying helplessly to her, "He’s run off, so be it. Why get so angry? Don’t make yourself sick over it."

"How can I not be angry? That brat just ran off, what about all the girls I arranged for him to meet this morning, at noon, and in the afternoon? I still have to apologize and cancel each one."

Xia Yuan felt like crying, "I knew it; he’s just a short-lived enthusiast. He made it seem like he had come to his senses, yet in the end, he’s the one who stood them up again. Now my reputation is ruined; how can I have the face to arrange another time with anyone?"

"How many girls did you set him up with today?" Lu Aiguo curiously handed her phone back.

"Not many." Xia Yuan glared at the phone in his hand, not wanting to take it, and muttered gloomily, "Just around ten or so."

"Cough cough cough..." Lu Aiguo was choked by his own saliva. Despite being prepared, he was still shocked by the number. It seemed his son indeed possessed a certain foresight.

Praised secretly for having "precedented foresight" by Lu Aiguo in his mind, Lu Jinsheng comfortably leaned against a lush tree in a small grove within the campus of B University in Capital City. He opened his eyes impatiently and glanced at the two young girls below, his vantage point allowing him to clearly observe their every action and conversation.

However, Lu Jinsheng had no interest in watching further. After one glance, he noticed that both girls were quite attractive, especially the one with long hair and a melon-shaped face, who exuded a delicate and alluring charm and was even more beautiful than the girl with short hair.

But for some reason, Lu Jinsheng was rather immune to beautiful women. He always felt that too beautiful a woman was not genuine enough. He didn’t know if this profound impression was left by that Chen Qiuyu from Yushu Village years ago.

Withdrawing his gaze, he curled his lips in discontent. Today he had nowhere to go and on a whim decided to visit the place where his sister had studied. What a crappy idea, he thought. It was midday, and he had come to this secluded place hoping to take a casual nap, but that plan was ruined now. It was normal for couples to date on a university campus, but what was the deal with two women showing up out of nowhere?

Lu Jinsheng leaned steadily on a tree branch and rested with his eyes closed. Of course, he wouldn’t choose to go down at this moment, but he also didn’t plan on peeping on the private affairs of love. It was best to leave each other undisturbed. Even without using a spiritual power shield, he was confident that the two below would never detect him.

However, though Lu Jinsheng could rest with his eyes closed without watching the two below, he didn’t use his spiritual power to block out the sounds coming from below. As he listened, he began to feel increasingly that something was wrong—the two below didn’t seem to be the couple he had mistaken them for. Not only were they not whispering sweet nothings to each other, but they were actually arguing—

Lu Jinsheng’s spirits lifted, and the hidden gossipy curiosity within him stirred. He couldn’t help but take another glance and focused on listening.

"Qi Xinrou, I’ve always been so good to you. You know very well that Baili Chengye is my boyfriend, and our families are already discussing our engagement. Although it hasn’t been announced yet, those who should know are aware. At a time like this, both of you suddenly tell me that you’re together, that you’re in love and want me to bless you... How could you do this to me?"

The girl with bright short hair, looking filled with grief and anger, spoke these words. Her eyes blazed with fury, as if she were ready to pounce and devour the other girl.

The long-haired girl named Qi Xinrou seemed to shrink back, frightened. Her face first showed fear, then she looked around and, seeing that no one was there, suddenly began to laugh, revealing full disdain for the short-haired girl:

"Zhao Xuan, didn’t Chengye already tell you himself that he never loved you right from the start? If that’s the case, why don’t you just let go neatly and cleanly? Don’t you realize how ugly your persistent entanglement looks? It will only make him more nauseated by you."

"Heh—he says now that he’s never loved me from the beginning, so why didn’t he say this earlier?"

Zhao Xuan, faced with Qi Xinrou’s stark contrast of behavior, felt an overwhelming suffocation, as if she couldn’t vent her frustration no matter what, "If he had said this from the start, I definitely wouldn’t have agreed to be his girlfriend.

But who was it that kept whispering in my ear about how much Baili Chengye liked me, who was too shy to confess his feelings? And who was it that stood below the dormitory building in the snowy weather, holding flowers and covered in snow, just to ask me out?"

The more Zhao Xuan thought, the more she had a revelation—that she had fallen into a meticulous trap set by the two of them.
