Chapitre 30: Suppressing Shen Fei
In reality, Alan didn't take action because he noticed that Huyan Lanruo wasn't planning to go all the way with him.
He wanted to make her even more desperate. This was a woman who stated that she would make him a slave under her skirt. Thus, Alan planned to make her his personal bitch.
She was gradually but inexorably descending into his trap! The funniest aspect was that Huyan Lanruo's desire to subjugate Alan led her to plunge even further into this trap.
The moment she gives up on Alan is the moment she would be out of this trap. However, this woman had never experienced a loss when it came to dealing with a man. And she didn't want to lose to Alan.
Alan perfectly understood that mentality since he was a bit similar. He never lost a case in his previous life, and if he was about to lose one, he would go to all lengths to win it. Even if it meant blurring the lines of laws by a bit.
But in any case, he was confident that Huyan Lanruo wouldn't let this affect the task Alan assigned her.
After leaving the library room, Alan went to meet Xiao Ning'er. Their secret meeting place had to be changed ever since Alan tested the White Tiger's Blast in the forest near the Sacred Family's mansion.
They actually met up in the Holy Orchid Academy's library. Xiao Ning'er hugged him tightly and spoke, "I missed you so much."
Alan slowly caressed the back of Xiao Ning'er's head while whispering softly, "I know. I missed you too. But I am here now, and we won't be separating any time soon."
All the students in the library were shocked to see Xiao Ning'er hugging Alan like that. Suddenly, some students barged inside the library.
These individuals were very familiar to Alan as he had beat them just a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, these fighters had no idea that the main perpetrator behind their injuries stood right in front of them.
However, Alan didn't focus on these individuals. Since they were all here, he understood what it meant.
Shen Fei had arrived!
Shen Fei was the future inheritor of the Sacred Family. This was more or less decided unless Alan truly managed to marry Ye Ziyun and become the City Lord's Son-in-Law.
Shen Fei entered the library and gathered the attention of all students. He slowly walked and stood right of Alan with an annoyed look on his face. He glanced at Xiao Ning'er.
Xiao Ning'er was beyond disgusted as she gazed at him. Shen Fei's gaze made Xiao Ning'er a bit fearful as well.
Soon, Alan placed his hand over her shoulder. Just this simple gesture seemed to give invisible support to Xiao Ning'er, allowing her to stare right back at Shen Fei.
Shen Fei was dazed upon seeing that gesture. He thought that Alan would be too shocked or embarrassed to make a move in his presence. But his guts were truly very great.
Staring at Xiao Ning'er, Shen Fei spoke with a sneer, "I knew you weren't happy with our engagement, but I wasn't worried since no one would dare to go against the Sacred Family for a declining Noble Family. But who would have thought that you would use my own brother to protest against the engagement?"
Those words instantly got the crowd talking. They all began to speak about how Xiao Ning'er had created a crack between the brothers. Or how manipulative Xiao Ning'er was.
Hearing those words, Xiao Ning'er felt like crying. She truly wasn't how these people stated.
Alan pulled her into his hug before staring at Shen Fei, "Well, your personality leaves much to be desired. It's not surprising that she protested against this marriage. Anyone else would have done the same."
"…Hmph. You are merely a kid who is being used without his knowledge. Getting angry at you would be a waste," Shen Fei spoke with a disdainful look.
"Well, this same kid is going to break your engagement as well. I will request our father, and he will definitely consider it deeply once he finds out about my relationship with Ning'er. It doesn't matter to our father who marries her. It just has to be someone with the Sacred Family's bloodline. And brother, unfortunately for you, I am also a pure-blooded heir of the Sacred Family," Alan finished speaking.
"You sure you want to go against me like that?!" Shen Fei was openly threatening Alan at this point.
Those words made Xiao Ning'er tremble with fear. She wasn't worried about herself, but Alan. She didn't want anything to happen to him.
"I am so scared," Alan impassively spoke while rolling his eyes. He didn't put this threat in his eyes.
"You little brat!" Shen Fei was absolutely infuriated, and he stepped forward to punch Alan.
"STOP!" The librarian immediately arrived as he saw Alan was about to get punched by Shen Fei.
Shen Fei snorted upon hearing that shout and stopped. He spoke with a sneer, "The librarian saved you."
Alan smirked in return, "Your delusion amuses me, brother."
The librarian soon arrived and asked what happened. The students soon informed the librarian of the entire matter.
The librarian began to lecture Shen Fei, but the latter disregarded his words and left.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ning'er quickly hugged Alan and spoke, "You didn't need to do all that."
"Yes, I did," Alan corrected Xiao Ning'er. He further explained, "If I didn't stand up to him now, he would have bullied both of us. Don't worry, I know how to handle him."
"…Alright," Xiao Ning'er spoke.
The two soon split and returned to their respective family mansions!
After Alan returned to the family mansion, he was summoned in the main hall. He could guess the reason behind this summon and was happy. It saved him the trouble of looking for Shen Hong.
At this moment, Shen Hong was waiting for Alan in the Meeting Hall with Shen Fei sitting right in front of him.
There was a calm expression on Shen Hong's face that made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
