Lazily Yours.

Chapter 398: Excited

This was all a lie.

Xu Rong'er couldn't find anything else to tell her brother. So, she made up a lie like that.

In truth, she wasn't planning to marry Chu Munan anymore. A weak woman like her needed someone that could protect her, and she was confident that it's not Chu Munan.

.

The event with Xu Rong'er didn't really have any effects on the mansion. When Xu Rong'er left, Chu Munan stayed. He didn't even bother stopping or comforting Rong'er when she left.

After that, Chu Munan just stayed around with his brother and Cleo and Rue.

"How could you stay?" Cleo asked Chu Nan. "I thought you are already planning to leave?"

"My brother is staying. I can't leave him here."

"Why are you treating us like we're bad people!?"

"You are bad people!"

"Humph!" Cleo crossed her arms across her chest.

"Hey, why don't we go somewhere? I haven't been here before, so I think we should enjoy ourselves before leaving, right?" Chu Munan suddenly said. He had been a little down since Lyca told him that he was spineless and coward. He felt that he needed to leave this mansion or he would suffocate.

"Hmmm that is actually a good idea. How about we tour the night market downtown? I heard it was good. I also heard that Xi and boss Q liked to go there for some midnight snack." Cleo instantly turned giddy. Right now, she was trying her best not to beg Lyca to bring her to her son, who was also in Long City. In fact, she had been trying her best to stay away from Lyca to reduce the temptation.

The idea of going out in the middle of the night was instantly approved. Since Lyca was already sleeping with Shen Qui, the four of them just told Ronan about their trip and even invited him. However, Ronan had more important things to attend to than going outside and eating.

When the four of them left, Ma Ping and another member wanted to come with them. However, they were reminded that Lyca didn't allow them to leave the mansion. After all, they were direct members of the team. It would be easy to target them once they were alone in the open.

After deciding on their destination, they borrowed one of the more low-key cars. They left the mansion at around eight in the evening, promising to come back before midnight. Everyone is already done with their dinners so, they chose to visit snack bars in the night market.

Long City is actually just like most cities in the region. The customs and religion are mostly the same, and they enjoyed the same type of food. However, some other special snacks are only unique to Long City.

The cold breeze made the group of four people more enthusiastic about this trip.

"I want some Ramen!" Cleo said in a loud voice just as they got off the car. They were currently in the parking lot, and they were on their way to the entrance of the night market just a few meters away.

"Why do you like Ramen so much? You are reminding me of Lyca too much. It's scary." Chu Nan said.

"Lyca is such a pretty girl. Why are you scared of her?"

"Who says that I am scared of her?" Chu Nan retorted. "I just thought it's weird that you girls are slowly learning things from her. You should stop while it's early. One day, you would be able to stay in bed the whole day and would think it's normal."

This made Cleo and Rue chuckled. To be honest, the two of them also noticed the difference in their personalities. They seemed to have adapted Lyca's carefree ways. "Isn't it nice to be so carefree and beautiful at the same time?" Cleo said. Sadly for her, she isn't as pretty as Lyca. Acting carefree and beautiful is actually two different worlds away from each other. "Sadly, if I sleep all day and eat without exercise, I would end up with an unhealthy body. I wish I can just lie down and still manage to maintain my figure like Lyca."

"Dream on!" Chu Nan said. "That woman is not normal."

The four of them quickly registered and got inside the night market. Since it was their first time, they decided to stick together, and they even bought a cheap map that would show them the location of all the best-selling shops in the market. The noise and cheers, touches of laughter, and some yelling welcomed them. This type of excitement was somehow infectious.

"Look! They even have games! Shooting games!" Cleo said excitedly.

"So childish." Chu Munan rolled his eyes.

"Eh? We should go get some of those temporary tattoos." On the other hand, Rue wanted to have some badass tattoo on the nape of her neck. Her conservative twin brother didn't really allow her to get a tattoo, so seeing temporary tattoos like this always excited her.

"I want a tattoo too!" Cleo chimed in, and the four of them decided to buy some temporary tattoos then find a place to apply them. After walking for a few minutes, they found a small milk tea stall with a few chairs and tables. After buying some milk tea, they decided to rest and start applying the tattoo.

"Whoa! Look! Isn't this the people from Shen Security?"

The loud voice made the four of them froze. They looked behind them and discovered three tall men walking towards them. One company instantly flashed in their mind. Dal Valley.

"Oh? They even brought pretty girls with them!" One of the men spoke. The smell of alcohol drifted as they walked towards Cleo and the others. "Hey, pretty lady. Why are you with these losers who only know how to cheat?"

"Look, they even look like p*ssies! Such pretty boys! Hahaha" The three people were already a few steps away from them. "Why don't you come with us, real men? We can show you what good time means."

The words were enough to infuriate Chu Nan, but he kept his silence.

"Leave us alone!" Chu Munan hissed.

"Oh? He dared talk back "Again, they laughed. "Only real men have the right to talk back! Cowards can just go to hell!" With that, the man suddenly swung his arm, his hand balled into a fist. The action was quick, but Chu Nan was definitely faster. He calmly accepted the man's punch with his palm. Holding the man's fist, Chu Nan slowly gripped the man's hands as he stood.

"Real men accept defeat," Chu Nan said. By now, Cleo and the others are already on their feet. All had serious expressions, all hands balled into tight fists. "P*ssies!" Chu Nan squinted before he pushed the man's hands away.

Because the man was already drunk, it was easy for him to lost his footing. He stumbled, his butt hit the ground with a loud thud.

Seeing their friend on the ground, the two others didn't even think about the consequences as they sprang towards the four of them. Chu Nan quickly maneuvered a roundhouse kick, easily sending the second one on the ground.

He didn't allow the third one to approach his companions as he jumped towards him, the two of them rolling on the streets.

Screams of panic can be heard. Some yelled for the guards to come and stop the situation.

On the other hand, Chu Nan was already sitting on top of the man, his legs straddling his enemy. Then he gave the man a barrage of punches, each hitting his face. It took him a few seconds to send all three people on the ground.

When he realized that there were already people surrounding them, he calmly stood and showed his ID. "Calm down, everyone! I am with the police department." He said as he walked towards Cleo and the others. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah" Cleo wasn't able to finish her words. Her eyes widened. Without waiting for her brain to tell her what to do, her legs were already moving towards Chu Nan. She moved towards him, pushing him out of the way. "MOVE!" she said. Then she paused when she realized that the knife that was supposed to hit Chu Nan was now moving towards her stomach.

Her brain shouted at her, telling her to move and avoid the knife. But for some reason, her body stopped cooperating. She simply stood there as the blade pierced through her.
