Lin Ming had shown off enough.
At last, he stepped down from the stage.
The moment Li Ran saw Lin Ming and Mu Bingxuan coming down together, he immediately brought his two bodyguards forward.
Right, he had to keep his face gloomy.
“Lin Ming, I’m warning you, stay away from my Bingxuan.”
The two bodyguards stepped forward and blocked Lin Ming directly.
Seeing Li Ran’s furious, flustered appearance, Lin Ming smiled.
At a moment like this, he had to show composure.
After all, Mu Bingxuan was watching from the side.
What he didn’t notice was that when Li Ran said the words “my Bingxuan,” Mu Bingxuan, who was standing just behind him, instantly flushed red and hurriedly covered her face with both hands.
Li Ran’s words were so direct… it was too embarrassing!
Lin Ming spoke calmly, “Who I choose to be with is my freedom. It’s not something you, Young Master Li, have the right to interfere with.”
A teacher nearby also scolded, “Li Ran, what are you trying to do? This is a school, not a place for you to act recklessly!”
At this moment, Li Ran was completely consumed by jealousy and anger.
There was no way he would listen.
“I’m interfering whether you like it or not!”
“Hit him!”
The two bodyguards, loyal as ever, immediately charged at Lin Ming.
“Just these two trash?”
Lin Ming sneered.
It was well known that this young master of the Li Family had no brains. Seeing it now, it was indeed true.
Previously, even with six bodyguards, Li Ran had failed to defeat him.
And now, sending just two? Wasn’t this simply giving him a chance to show off in front of Mu Bingxuan?
Lin Ming kept his hands in his pockets. With a casual motion, he kicked each bodyguard away with a single strike, his posture effortlessly stylish.
“Let me tell you, who the campus belle chooses to be with is her freedom.”
“And who I, Lin Ming, choose to be with is also my freedom.”
“You, Li Ran, cannot stop it…”
Lin Ming spoke calmly, reasonable and composed, appearing like a true gentleman.
“You!”
“For Bingxuan, I’ll fight you to the end!”
Li Ran roared with a ferocious expression, as if he were about to expose himself as the ultimate desperate admirer.
Yet inside, he was grinning from ear to ear.
Tonight’s scene with Lin Ming was the smoothest performance he had delivered since his rebirth.
Perfect. Next, he would recklessly charge forward, get knocked down by Lin Ming, and today’s scene would wrap up.
Right, he had to suppress his god-level body tempering a bit. He couldn’t make it too obvious or Lin Ming might notice.
Li Ran clenched his fists, preparing to rush forward.
At that moment, a figure suddenly stepped between him and Lin Ming.
Mu Bingxuan!
You again?!
What are you doing this time?
Li Ran almost lost control and wanted to punch her.
But at the last second, he held back.
If that punch went out, his “devoted admirer” persona would collapse instantly.
At the same time, Lin Ming was stunned.
Then, almost immediately, a surge of joy filled his heart.
Mu Bingxuan was standing with her back to him, her graceful figure fully exposed to his view.
In Lin Ming’s eyes, her standing in front of him was clearly to protect him, worried that he might be hurt by Li Ran.
It must be that what I said just now moved her.
Looking at Mu Bingxuan, Lin Ming thought to himself.
That had to be it. Before, she must have been with Li Ran only because of pressure from the Mu Family.
In her heart, she didn’t like Li Ran at all.
The one she truly liked… was him!
“It’s alright, Bingxuan. This playboy Li Ran can’t beat me. I only need one finger to deal with him.” Lin Ming declared confidently.
He had to protect his woman.
As a king of soldiers, how could he hide behind a woman and let her face danger for him?
In his heart, Lin Ming had already made a decision. No matter what conditions the Li Family had offered the Mu Family, he would soon reveal a bit of his own financial power and help Mu Bingxuan resolve this problem.
He would help her completely break free from Li Ran, this pathetic admirer!
Just as Lin Ming was lost in his thoughts, a cold voice reached his ears.
“Since when did I allow you to call me Bingxuan? Student Lin, I don’t think we’re that close.”
Mu Bingxuan did not turn around. Her voice was cool, carrying a hint of anger.
“Huh?”
Lin Ming was confused.
Then he saw it.
Mu Bingxuan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Li Ran’s hand.
“Li Ran, calm down. You can’t beat him.”
She knew Lin Ming’s strength very well.
She did not want her boy to get hurt, not even a little.
Li Ran shouted angrily, “Even if I can’t, I still have to fight!”
What is wrong with you, Mu Bingxuan?
Do you actually think I can beat Lin Ming?
I know you’re the female lead, I know you’re supposed to support the protagonist.
Relax, I’m going up there to get beaten!
Li Ran acted as if he refused to listen, determined to fight Lin Ming.
After all, once he got knocked down, today’s scene would finally end.
Victory was right in front of him, and this woman still wanted to stop him?
No way!
“Li Ran!”
Mu Bingxuan grew anxious. “I promise you, there’s really nothing between him and me! The person I like has always been you!”
At this moment, she no longer cared about her pride.
She shouted those words with a flushed face. This chapter was taken from novelping.com without permission.
Li Ran froze.
Lin Ming froze.
Everyone around them froze.
Mu Bingxuan… liked Li Ran?!
Before, they could still convince themselves that she had only agreed to be with Li Ran due to family pressure.
But now, those words had come directly from her own mouth.
She had personally admitted it.
She liked Li Ran!
At this moment, everyone was stunned.
The teacher who had just been scolding Li Ran stood there with his mouth wide open.
In their eyes, Mu Bingxuan was not only the campus belle, but also a talented and well-behaved student.
And now, in front of everyone, she was shouting another boy’s name.
And that boy was the notorious playboy of the Li Family!
Instantly, the teacher’s gaze toward Li Ran changed.
Shock, curiosity… but most of all, admiration.
Boss, how did you win over the campus belle?
Teach me!
When it comes to romance, you are my teacher!
Li Ran stared blankly at Mu Bingxuan.
Looking at her flushed face, he felt completely lost.
Mu Bingxuan… likes me?
What kind of joke is this?
Hey, director… where’s the director?
This isn’t how the script is supposed to go!
The first female lead falling for the villain?
What kind of absurd plot is this?
Even a dog couldn’t write something like this!
Stop joking!
Mu Bingxuan, be normal.
Please, just be normal!
The plot had suddenly become so chaotic that Li Ran had no idea how to continue acting.
How was he supposed to proceed now?
The desperate admirer had actually won over the goddess.
At this rate, was he going to marry Mu Bingxuan on the spot next?
And then have ten or eight chubby kids?
At that moment, Lin Ming finally made his move in anger.
“Li Ran, you want to fight? Fine, I’ll grant your wish!”
Clenching his fist, Lin Ming threw a punch toward Li Ran.
In that instant, Li Ran saw hope again.
As expected of the protagonist!
When it comes to saving the scene, it still has to be you!
