At this moment, Xu Mo couldn't be happier.
He had just fished out an Iron Shirt technique from the system, and he didn't expect to have a chance to use it so soon.
"I'm warning you! Manni is my woman, not someone a lowly security guard like you can aspire to!"
[Why are you still talking? Hurry up and make a move!]
[Hit me! Come on, hit me!]
[Shen Manni is such a brainless woman, I'd give her to you right now. After you beat me up, her favor towards you will definitely skyrocket.]
[You stupid protagonist, hurry up and punch me!]
Xu Mo could barely contain his excitement internally.
To Lin Fan, this scene was nothing more than a man's last bit of stubbornness in fighting for the woman he loved but couldn't have!
"Hmph, there are no bodyguards here to protect you. You'd better think carefully about the consequences of your actions," Lin Fan sneered disdainfully.
Even if Xu Mo had bodyguards with him, they would just be a bunch of incompetent amateurs.
Compared to him, they were far inferior.
The last time Lin Fan directly fought with Xu Mo's bodyguards was in the previous storyline, but there were too many people around at that time.
He didn't directly hit Xu Mo then.
Otherwise, it would have been difficult to continue operating in Magic City.
But now he wasn't afraid, mainly because the female lead Shen Manni wasn't watching.
If she were here, he would rather take the risk, after all, how could the male protagonist give up an opportunity to increase the female lead's favorability?
Xu Mo was cursing internally, thinking, "Just shut up and make a move already!"
"Don't think that using force can separate Manni and me. I'm telling you, there are plenty of people who oppose us being together. Having you as one more or one less doesn't make a difference!"
Xu Mo feared that this warrior protagonist might have a change of heart like Shen Manni and not hit him.
So he directly gave himself extra lines!
He improvised an additional line of dialogue.
You have to understand, there are so many scenes in the novel.
The spotlight is always on the protagonist Lin Fan.
And for himself, this antagonist, he only appears when he needs to be humiliated.
For instance, at parties, meeting parents, and such occasions.
Other than that, the rest of the time is freely allocated by Xu Mo himself.
In other words, he can slack off when he wants to, or go to exclusive clubs when he feels like it.
"Wow!!! Young Master Xu is so loving!"
"Who is this security guard? Don't think just because you're a bit handsome, you can try to break up Young Master Xu and CEO Shen!"
"Exactly, as the saying goes, it's better to demolish ten temples than to break up one marriage! Whether it's good or bad, it's someone else's family matter. What business does an outsider have butting in?"
"I think this guy is just here to cause trouble. Who hired him? Just kick him out."
"CEO Shen hired him."
"Damn, why did you have to say that? Are you trying to get me killed? I have something to do, I'm going out to eat first. We'll talk when I get back."
The crowd of onlookers was buzzing with excitement.
Food can be eaten anytime.
But this kind of drama between a female CEO and a wealthy young master is rare in real life.
Therefore, many people chose to stay and watch the drama unfold rather than going to eat immediately.
The people around were pointing and gossiping about Lin Fan.
There was no shortage of criticism.
This made Lin Fan, who was proud and arrogant, a war god overseas, feel an inexplicable surge of anger!
He was the type to hold grudges!
Even the slightest displeasure could lead him to seek revenge!
When had he ever endured such disrespect?
When he was abroad, no matter where he went, those high-level bigwigs always treated him with the utmost respect.
How could it be like this current situation?
Lin Fan kept telling himself internally, "They don't know any better, they don't know any better."
Mainly because Shen Manni was watching from the side.
Otherwise, he would have stormed off long ago.
As a war god, as the Dragon King of Dragon King Hall!
When had he ever endured such disrespect?
To willingly become a lowly security guard just to get close to a beautiful woman.
This was something he would never have done in the past!
This also indirectly demonstrated how incredibly charming Shen Manni was!
She was truly a rare beauty!
[Oh my goodness! You want to make a move! Just hurry up and do it!]
[Stop dawdling, hurry up and punch me]
[I've never seen such a cowardly protagonist]
[Or is it because after coming back once, this protagonist has become as unpredictable as the female lead?]
[Is he an idiot or what?]
Xu Mo was crying out in anguish internally.
He wanted nothing more than to rush up and give Lin Fan a big slap.
What a wimp, for heaven's sake!
But taking the initiative to attack wouldn't fit his old dog-like character setting.
This really put him in a difficult position.
Fortunately, painful times are always short-lived!
Dawn was just around the corner.
"Fine, you've forced my hand!" Lin Fan could no longer bear the pointing and gossiping of the people around him, and decided to teach Xu Mo a lesson first.
Hmm... doing this in front of the female lead Shen Manni.
He estimated that this action would increase his favorability in her eyes.
A man should aim to conquer the ice queen.
For this, Lin Fan was very patient.
To put it bluntly, he was just being a pervert.
Xu Mo's breathing became rapid, and he had already activated the Iron Shirt technique in his body.
While excited, he was also a bit nervous.
He wondered if this Iron Shirt technique granted by the system could withstand Lin Fan's punches.
Just as Lin Fan's fist was about to make contact with Xu Mo's body.
A cold, reprimanding voice rang out!
"Stop!"
Lin Fan's hand paused mid-action. If it were anyone else, he would have ignored them and continued as he pleased!
As a war god, and also the Dragon King of Dragon King Hall, how could he possibly take orders from others?
This would be more unbearable than being killed outright.
However, the person speaking was none other than Shen Manni.
Only then did Lin Fan reluctantly stop his action, and then asked with some surprise.
"CEO Shen, don't you hate this guy?"
"I'm just helping you teach him a lesson, it's no big deal."
Shen Manni's eyes were ice-cold, "I don't like repeating myself. Didn't you hear me tell you to stop?"
The surroundings suddenly fell silent.
The reason was simple.
This was the first time Shen Manni had spoken up for Xu Mo!
Everyone was stunned.
[What the hell?! Are you out of your mind?]
[If you're sick, go get treatment!]
[Stop talking nonsense here, your crooked-mouthed Dragon King husband is right, he wants to teach me a lesson, what's it to you?]
[I'm warning you, don't do things that aren't your business]
Xu Mo felt his world view crumbling.
Had the female lead taken the wrong medication today?
Or had a relative or friend come to visit?
How come she was suddenly taking the antagonist's side?
Even speaking up for him.
Xu Mo felt like crying but had no tears. This wasn't what he wanted from Shen Manni!
What he wanted was for Shen Manni to give him the cold shoulder, to yell at him loudly, to say things like "Get lost! I don't like you!" and so on.
Don't misunderstand.
Xu Mo was a normal person and didn't have these strange fetishes.
He just wanted to follow the original plot properly.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
