Chapter 015 A Love Rival Created Out of Nothing
"Of course I'll go. No matter how you think about it, it's worth meeting Flora. What's more, she's a famous person."
"Okay." Xia Xiaoyu nodded. "If you can become friends with her, many things will be much easier. But I have to remind you that Flora seems a little special."
"Special? What's special about it?"
Xia Xiaoyu frowned and shook her head: "It's hard to say, it might just be my illusion."
"Beauty, can you stop keeping me in suspense?" Su Ming said.
"Uh... I just think that Flora's residence is too plain. It doesn't look like a place where a noble would live."
"That apartment is very big! The decoration is also very good! I think there will be no problem, right?" Su Ming said.
Xia Xiaoyu shook her head: "These are irrelevant. Didn't you notice that she is a noble and doesn't even have servants?"
"Could it be that...she doesn't like being taken care of?" Su Ming guessed tentatively.
"You don't understand. This is really strange for aristocrats." Xia Xiaoyu touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
Su Ming also fell into deep thought. He hoped that his super intuition could give him some clues at this time, but now his super intuition seemed to be hibernating and had no reaction at all.
"Forget it, don't think about it! Do you want to watch a movie with me tonight? You've been through so much in the day, you must be tired, right?" Xia Xiaoyu snapped her fingers in front of Su Ming.
"Depending on the situation, it feels like there's a lot to do right now."
Su Ming politely declined Xia Xiaoyu's invitation.
…
Flora's apartment.
At this moment, there are sounds of happy chatting.
"Lance, I didn't expect you to come here. Do your family members agree?"
Flora looked at the man sitting on the sofa next to her in confusion.
The man was very handsome, with black hair and blue eyes. He had an aristocratic temperament, and his eyes revealed confidence. He spoke in an elegant and calm manner, with a brisk and relaxed tone. He looked at Flora gently and smiled, "The reason why I came here will be kept secret for now, but the first thing I came here for was to find you. Are you free tonight? Do you want to go to a movie together?"
"Sorry, maybe not tonight."
"Why! We haven't seen each other for two years." Lance was stunned and looked at Flora in confusion, as if he found it unbelievable that she rejected him.
Flora frowned slightly and forced a smile: "Sorry, I really have something to do tonight."
"Is that so... What a pity... Then what's the reason? You have to tell me a reason, right?"
Click!
Just then, the door to the entrance opened and Su Ming walked in.
As soon as Su Ming entered the door, he saw a handsome foreign guy sitting on the sofa and chatting with Flora. The moment Su Ming's eyes met the other person, he felt that he had come at the wrong time.
The handsome guy restrained his smile and frowned. Flora looked at him in surprise, looking a little nervous.
The moment he saw this handsome foreign guy, Su Ming's super intuition, which had been silent before, suddenly reacted, and he clearly felt the hostility from the other party.
Su Ming turned his head, glanced quickly at Flora, and then looked at the handsome guy.
Flora's involuntarily clenched fingers, slightly parted lips, panicked eyes, and that quick, panicked glance at the man beside her, and then her quick look back at him, all caught Su Ming's eyes.
In addition, Su Ming also noticed the subtle expressions on the man's face and some of his undisguised movements.
A large amount of "intelligence" automatically emerged in his mind. This information was not accurate information, but a strong feeling and impression. However, these impressions could help Su Ming clearly understand the current situation.
Su Ming stared at the man sitting on the sofa.
This man likes Flora very much, and he feels that he has a very close relationship with Flora. In his eyes, Flora is even a quasi-lover.
But Flora didn't like him at all, and even had some subtle "disgust" towards him.
Flora hid this disgust very well, but it could not escape Su Ming's eyes.
It seemed that for some reason, Flora had to hide her disgust and treat the man politely with a restrained attitude.
Su Ming turned his gaze away from the man who regarded him as a love rival and looked at Flora beside him.
As expected, Flora was struggling with how to explain the current situation, but she couldn't seem to come up with a solution yet.
"Flora, who is he!" Lance pointed at Su Ming and asked fiercely. Anger made his expression distorted. The muscles on his cheeks twitched slightly. He tried his best to restrain his expression that was about to distort. His eyes were cold and sharp, like a lion seeing another lion invading its territory.
"Lance, he is my friend!" Flora shouted.
"Then why does he have a key to your apartment! And he knows the combination!"
Lance jumped up from the sofa like a cannonball, strode to Su Ming, and grabbed Su Ming's collar.
Su Ming could have dodged Lance's hand, but because he was too immersed in analyzing the information in his mind, he was distracted for a moment and failed to dodge.
He stared at the man in front of him with bulging veins on his forehead. From the depths of his pupils, he saw the deep inferiority hidden under his savage appearance.
Well... this person is emotionally sensitive and a little neurotic, and has no self-control. His temper is like a firecracker, which can be ignited at any time. Any slight stimulation from the outside world will make him explode.
He is simply a three-year-old child in an adult's body. No wonder Flora doesn't like him, Su Ming thought.
"You bastard!"
Lance raised his fist high, his taut biceps bulging out his shirt and threatening to fall at any moment.
"Lance, stop it! He is my friend!" Flora ordered.
"Then why do you think he has the key to your apartment!" Lance suddenly turned his head to look at Flora and asked angrily.
"Don't get me wrong! Su Ming and I are just ordinary friends! I'll be angry if you do this again!!"
"Misunderstanding? Do you know that I came to Dongyang Island just for you? I entered this cage for you, and you actually...actually stayed with this person!"
Lance became more and more excited as he spoke, and his expression became more distorted. He looked at Su Ming in front of him, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. The anger in his heart was like a volcano on the verge of erupting, and it had reached its peak!
Finally, he couldn't control himself anymore and his fist fell down!
At this moment, Xia Xiaoyu suddenly raised her foot and kicked the opponent's knee accurately, then took advantage of the situation and hooked the opponent's knee.
She first forced the other party to kneel on one knee with her foot, and then hit Lance on the forehead with an elbow.
Before Su Ming could stop him, Xia Xiaoyu swung out another fierce punch and hit the opponent's neck.
While swinging her right fist, Xia Xiaoyu's other hand was not idle either. She put her five fingers together on her left hand and struck Lance's important joints like a knife, directly leaving him half-crippled.
Lance lay on the ground, twisting his body and trying to stand up, but his cramped ligaments and over-tight muscles did not allow him to do so.
He gritted his teeth, his face flushed, and tried desperately, but like a dog with canine distemper, he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried. The more he struggled, the more miserable he looked.
Flora just stood there staring blankly without any reaction.
