NOVEL NEXT Chapter 4
Chapter 4: The Art of Psychological Warfare, First Time Gaining Luck Points:
Yan Qingxue suddenly felt that Su Chen’s actions were indeed inappropriate. She pursed her lips and was about to speak, but Lu Feng stopped her.
“You don’t need to say anything more. I already know everything!”
He pulled a pen out of his pocket, but in Yan Qingxue’s eyes, this action seemed threatening.
Her heart raced, and she quickly shook her head, saying, “It’s not like that! I didn’t mean to, I never wanted to, it was all…”
“I told you, I know everything.” Lu Feng interrupted.
He took out a check, filled in the date and her name, and then handed it to Yan Qingxue.
Yan Qingxue was stunned by Lu Feng’s unexpected actions.
She couldn’t understand what he was trying to do, especially since the check didn’t have a number filled in.
Lu Feng slowly walked over, carefully holding Yan Qingxue’s hand.
This gesture brought Yan Qingxue back to her senses.
Oh, so that was it.
He figured out the plan and was trying to use both a carrot and a stick to make her submit, right?
As expected, Lu Feng aws still Lu Feng.
If that was the case, then she would just play along.
A slight smile appeared on her lips, but she noticed that Lu Feng didn’t make any further moves. He only placed the pen in her hand.
“This check doesn’t have a number. You can fill in however much you need.”
“Huh?”
Yan Qingxue was puzzled. “What…?”
“I know everything!” Lu Feng interrupted again.
“I’ve been pursuing you for so long; I know everything about you. In my heart, you’re a pure, upright woman who never compromises!”
“Although I’ve dreamed that one day you might accept me, I realize now that it was wishful thinking. Still, I love you deeply and can’t bear to see you sell your body for money.”
Yan Qingxue was filled with confusion but could only deny his words to keep up the act.
“I’m not doing this for money.”
“I know! I’m aware of your family’s situation. It must be because your uncle’s health has declined again, right? For you to do something like this, he must be in critical condition.”
Lu Feng sighed deeply.
Yan Qingxue’s eyes widened as she finally understood everything.
From the moment he walked into the room, he had seen through her act.
He threw away the carefully prepared diamond ring because all his hopes had been dashed.
He handed her the check because he mistakenly believed she was selling her body for money.
A sudden realization struck her.
Su Chen’s righteous words echoed in her mind.
For some reason, the man who had always seemed so self-assured suddenly lost some of his standing in her heart.
What woman didn’t want her man to treat her like a treasure?
Su Chen, in his quest for the heirship of the Shanning Group and more money, didn’t hesitate to send her into the wolf’s den.
But this lovesick wolf had misunderstood.
A line from Lu Feng’s earlier message popped into her mind.
“I’d rather give up the position of Shanning Group’s heir…”
‘What am I even doing…’
As Yan Qingxue’s emotions churned, Lu Feng was surprised to see a notification pop up in his vision.
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Points +100]
Yan Qingxue stared at Lu Feng’s sincere face and picked up the check.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll write down an astronomical figure?”
“I am, very much,” Lu Feng quickly snapped back to reality, speaking earnestly. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to honor this check.”
Yan Qingxue’s heart skipped a beat.
The impact of those words was enormous—like a prince telling a commoner, “I’m afraid I can’t give you everything you desire.”
Who wouldn’t be charmed by that?
Who wouldn’t be moved?
Was this really the same Lu Feng, who used to rely on cheap tricks and shameless tactics?
Yan Qingxue’s heart pounded as she hoped for a twist, something to show her how disgusting his behavior could be.
But Lu Feng didn’t give her that chance. Instead, his every gesture and expression exuded the image of a wounded, noble gentleman.
[Ding! Yan Qingxue’s Luck Points +100]
This little trick won’t work on her?
Lu Feng smirked. By now, he had figured out how to gain Luck Points.
The protagonist was just a name and a role, but the world itself was key.
In these novel worlds, there must be certain critical points.
For example, in martial arts novels, a cave containing secret manuals—only the person who obtained those manuals could be the protagonist.
Or in cultivation novels, a small bottle that allowed one to ascend to the heavens.
In urban novels, especially harem stories, the women are undoubtedly the key.
If he conquered all these women, wouldn’t that be equivalent to gaining all the Luck Points?
Lu Feng was in high spirits, having figured out the strategy.
Now, wouldn’t it be easy to outsmart the foolish protagonist of such a brainless story?
But what’s with these ‘Luck Points’ for Yan Qingxue?
The description was so poor that anyone who didn’t know might think her Luck Points had increased!
Lu Feng lightly patted the phone in his pocket.
His lackey, Zhang Qiang, got the message and immediately made a call.
Lu Feng made no effort to hide anything and answered the call directly.
On the other end, Zhang Qiang’s anxious voice came through.
Yan Qingxue’s face turned pale, instantly realizing she had been exposed.
But for some reason, she was more concerned about her standing in Lu Feng’s heart.
“Boss! It’s a trap! Don’t touch that b*tch! Yan Qingxue and that guy are plotting—”
Click!
Lu Feng quickly hung up the phone and turned around, his face as pale as Yan Qingxue’s.
“Qing… Qingxue, I, uh, have something to deal with. Please wait a moment.”
Huh?
What was going on?
Wasn’t Zhang Qiang’s warning clear enough?
Her actions, combined with Zhang Qiang’s words, should have made her intentions obvious.
So why was Lu Feng the one who seemed nervous?
Yan Qingxue sat frozen in her chair, unable to understand why, after being exposed, the one who was anxious… was Lu Feng.
