C13 I Am so Annoyed

He pulled out his business card and presented it; the words "War God" stood out prominently.

"Oh? The War God himself? My apologies for any oversight."

Wang Yunuo carefully stored the card. "By the way, how about joining us for a game of bowling? Be warned, the loser will face a punishment."

"I'd be delighted! Miss Wang, what are the rules?" Lu Ling asked with enthusiasm.

Wang Yunuo gestured toward Chen Miaomiao. "You and your... I mean, your sister, will team up. My boyfriend Chu Chenglong and I will be the other team. We'll each play three rounds, and the one with the lowest score loses. Let's see... the loser has to lie on the ground and bark like a dog. How about that?"

"Hahaha, sounds like fun! I'm in!" Lu Ling agreed without hesitation, his imagination already running wild.

The thought of Wang Yunuo, a woman of such regal beauty, imitating a dog on the floor... it was quite the thrilling prospect.

Chen Miaomiao, on the other hand, was reluctant. She wasn't keen on joining the game, but seeing that Lu Ling had agreed, she felt it would be improper to object.

She steeled herself to participate.

The game quickly drew a crowd.

Most were from prestigious families, many of them wealthy heirs and heiresses.

In other words, they were all peers.

As the crowd grew, so did the hecklers.

This made Chen Miaomiao, who always cared about her image, increasingly anxious.

After all, losing meant performing a dog's bark on the floor in front of an audience.

It was mortifying!

Lu Ling noticed Chen Miaomiao's anxiety and reassured her in a whisper, "Don't worry, we won't lose. Just wait and see Chu Chenglong, that good-for-nothing, on the ground barking like a puppy, haha."

With Lu Ling's reassurance, Chen Miaomiao's tension melted away.

Moreover, she saw it as a perfect chance to embarrass Chu Chenglong!

Just picturing him on the ground, barking in front of everyone, was too humiliating for words!

If it were her, she'd be utterly disgraced.

The game quickly moved into the preparation phase. Chen Miaomiao found herself wrapped in Lu Ling's arms, their hands entwined in a rather intimate gesture. In contrast, Chu Chenglong wasn't the one doing the holding; instead, he was the one being cradled. The soft touch against his back and the intoxicating scent enveloping him made the moment quite enchanting.

"Don't worry, little cutie," Wang Yunuo whispered reassuringly. "The championship is as good as ours."

The teams took their positions on separate lanes. At the signal from the temporary referee, who was the stadium manager, they both launched their bowling balls down the lanes. Bang! Bang! Pins clattered and scattered in all directions, prompting gasps from the onlookers.

"Both teams score full points. It's a tie!" announced the referee.

The second round ended the same way, with the referee declaring another tie. But the final round was different.

"The score is 1 to 0. Lu Ling's team loses!" the referee called out.

"What?" Chen Miaomiao was so dismayed by the outcome that she nearly cried.

"Lu Ling, you've lost. Will you honor the bet?" Wang Yunuo asked with a teasing smile.

"This... Miss Wang, it was just for fun. Surely we don't have to take it so seriously?" Lu Ling replied, trying to downplay the situation.

Wang Yunuo shrugged nonchalantly. "Of course, it was all in good fun. But if that's your attitude, Mr. Lu, I have nothing more to say."

She turned to leave, but Lu Ling called out, "Wait! I'll honor the bet!"

With a grimace, he lay down on the ground and started barking like a dog. "Woof! Woof! Woof!" After a couple of barks, he got up, his face beet red.

"Is that satisfactory, Miss Wang?" he asked.

Wang Yunuo glanced at Chen Miaomiao. "What about Miss Chen?"

Lu Ling hesitated, clearly struggling with the situation. "Let's just forget it, Miss Wang. Can we leave it at that as a favor to me?"

"Sure, but you'll have to ask him," Wang Yunuo said, gesturing towards Chu Chenglong. She was giving Chu Chenglong an opportunity. It all depended on whether he would agree today.

She was convinced that after today, Chen Miaomiao would be much more restrained.

However...

"Let's just call it quits. Miaomiao, you don't need to lie on the floor and pretend to be a puppy," Chu Chenglong unexpectedly interjected.

Wang Yunuo glanced at Chu Chenglong, her eyes flickering with confusion.

"Hmph! Who gave you the right to speak to me like that? You're nothing but a loser, trying to upset me with that floozy. Just wait until I get home; you're going to regret it!" Chen Miaomiao spat out venomously at Chu Chenglong.

With that, she stormed off.

"Hey, Miaomiao, wait..." Lu Ling excused himself from Wang Yunuo and hurried after Chen Miaomiao.

Left behind, Wang Yunuo curiously watched Chu Chenglong.

"What's the matter, cutie? You just missed a great chance," she said.

Chu Chenglong had intended to say that he was there simply to keep Chen Miaomiao company, especially since he had promised her Uncle Chen Jun to keep her happy.

After a moment's thought, he shook his head in resignation, choosing to remain silent.

Wang Yunuo could only shake her head and comment, "There was really no need for that..."

She saw Chu Chenglong's reluctance and hadn't expected him to be such a hopeless romantic.

Meanwhile, Lu Ling caught up with the still fuming Chen Miaomiao.

"Miaomiao, hear me out, let me explain..." he pleaded.

Turning around, Chen Miaomiao's demeanor softened, "Explain what? You just called me your sister!"

Lu Ling's expression turned grave, "Miaomiao, you must believe me, I was only joking. I swear, my feelings for you are genuine. As soon as I get back, I'll talk to my family and then come to ask for your hand in marriage!"

Hearing this, Chen Miaomiao's mood lifted somewhat.

"Are you serious?" she asked.

"Absolutely. Don't you trust me?"

Overcome with emotion, Chen Miaomiao embraced Lu Ling tightly. "I believe you! Whatever you say, I'll always trust you!"

Lu Ling gently patted Chen Miaomiao's head, offering comfort. "I'll make sure it happens. I'll talk to my uncle again and have Chu Chenglong fired. He won't be able to bother you anymore."

Whenever Chen Miaomiao thought of Chu Chenglong, she seethed with anger.

"He has to go! The farther away, the better. I never want to see him again in my life. Yet, I still have to go home with him today. It's just too much!"

Lu Ling reassured her, "Just hold on a little longer, Miaomiao."

Miaomiao nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

Meanwhile, Wang Yunuo had already departed from Seashore.

She was seated in a sleek, limited-edition sports car in the parking lot below, busy on a phone call.

"Is the Zewn Group included on the attendee list for the Istripgan conference?"

The Istripgan conference was a significant gathering of the city's most influential figures.

At this event, even the top officials of Istripgan were expected to diligently take notes and give reports!

The conference was significant because it was tied to a project initiated by the Rainsong Financial Group in Istripgan.

Securing the Rainsong project could catapult someone's status to new heights—it was that influential.

"Have you located them? Then strike them from the list," Wang Yunuo instructed coolly over the phone.
