The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise Novel - Chapter 556
Chapter 556: Fu Zhi, The Know-It-All – 4
Fu Zhi ignored Zheng Qu’s manic glare and nodded before taking out picking up another dart. Then, she said in a slovenly manner, “Make sure you give your best, Young Master Zheng. It’s fine for a girl like me to lose, but it would be disastrous to your reputation if you’re the one who’s losing.”
Everyone fell silent.
‘Do you know that you’re playing with fire, woman? Can you see how dark Zheng Qu’s face is?’
It went without saying that Fu Zhi saw it. However, it turned out that there were times when being angry could do nothing.
One minute later, Zheng Qu’s dart was knocked down and he unbuckled his belt.
Two minutes later, Zheng Qu’s dart was knocked down again and he pulled out a condom from his pocket.
Three minutes later, Zheng Qu had no other choice but to take down his trousers.
Li Nanli frowned and he got up from his seat and walked forward.
Right now, Zhen Qu was only wearing underwear.
“Yo~”
Some people couldn’t help themselves and whistle at Zheng Qu. “This is surprising, Young Master Zheng. You’re a lot more well-endowed than we expected!”
“Woo-hoo! Way to go, Young Master Zheng!”
“Hahaha, let’s keep it going, Young Master Zheng! Even though you’re losing, you still have to keep up with the Joneses! You must not give up!”
“Although you’re bad at throwing darts, you should let this woman see what you’ve got!”
Most of them were drunk on wine, and they all did not know what they were talking about.
As for Gu Yanqi, he grabbed a random man and began praising Fu Zhi. “Do you see that little girl? She’s the know-it-all! She fears nothing! No matter how cocky Zheng Qu is, there’s nothing he could do to her! I already told you guys to believe in her, but you guys wouldn’t listen!”
“So? It has nothing to do with you, isn’t it?” The man replied.
However, Gu Yanqi ignored him.
Mela did not expect that Fu Zhi would be so good at playing darts. She was so exasperated that her entire face had turned red. She opened her mouth and said, “This is just a game. We don’t have to get so serious and go that far, don’t you think so, Ms. Fu?”
“Hmm?” Fu Zhi replied flatly without even looking at Zheng Qu, “Didn’t I already say he can have 33 shots instead of 3 shots?”
Mela replied, “Can’t we just forget about it?”
Even if Zheng Qu’s social status was not as high as those young masters in the capital, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and it would really do a lot of damage to his reputation if he ran naked.
“Can’t you just… forgive us?”
“Nope,” Fu Zhi replied plainly, “Being weak itself is a sin, so you can only blame yourself.”
Just when Fu Zhi was about to say something, a hand appeared and pressed on her head.
Then, in the next second, she was pulled into Li Nanli’s embrace.
“Where do you think you’re looking, little one?”
As the sentence wafted into her ears, she rammed into Li Nanli’s chest and her nostrils were assaulted by his perfume.
He wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed her head tightly in his chest to make sure that she couldn’t see Zheng Qu. Something crossed his eyes as he bent forward and whispered into her ear, “If you like it, I can show you mine when we get home.”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “I can let you touch it as well if you want.”
“Thank you but no thank you,” Fu Zhi said.
“You’re welcome,” Li Nanli replied, the emotion in his voice unreadable.
Then, he shifted his gaze across the bottom part of Zheng Qu and commented scornfully, “You shouldn’t try to cover it up if you’re small. After all, there is nothing more humiliating and insulting than hiding behind a woman and acting nothing when a problem arises. Just man up and take it off, nephew.”
Everyone became speechless, as all of them did not expect Li Nanli to be so sharp-tongued.
Zheng Qu clenched his fist and his chest was heaving up and down from his rage. He then gnashed his teeth and hissed, “Aren’t you hiding behind a woman as well, Uncle Li?”
His gaze was dark and dripped with venom as he glared at Fu Zhi.
“That’s different. The doctor said my mind is weak and I can’t handle pressure, so I have to get a woman to protect me from all the cruel things in this world.”
Li Nanli refuted, “Of course, if you can find another woman as capable as her and is willing to take care of you, I’m fine with it too.”
Zheng Qu’s face turned redder and redder with rage.
After a long while, he nodded under everyone’s gaze and said, “Very well, then.”
There was nothing he could do to Li Nanli, but it did not mean that he could not do anything to Fu Zhi.
‘Just pray to God that Li Nanli would not give up on you, Fu Zhi. If not… Hah!’
As the thought surfaced in Zheng Qu’s brain, he let out a scoff and took his underwear off.
“Wow!”
A loud exclamation erupted from the crowd.
“That’s awesome, Young Master Zheng!”
“Argh! My eyes! Someone get me holy water! I need to wash my eyes!”
“Hold on a second. How many laps does Young Master Zheng have to run? Besides, is he really going to call Fu Zhi “daddy”?”
Compared to the men, the group of women was much calmer.
All of them turned their heads away and they did not dare to take a photo of Zheng Qu as well.
They shared a glance, and they could see admiration for Fu Zhi in each other’s eyes.
After all, nobody had ever had the nerves to do something like this to the Zheng Family before. Was she not afraid that she could not leave Myanmar in one piece? Had she never heard of those things that Zheng Qu did?
It had only been 20 minutes since the match started.
Fu Zhi had three darts left while Zheng Qu had ten.
According to the rules of the game, as long as the throw was completed within the specified time and successfully killed an Onyx Pixy, only then the other person had to take off a piece of clothing. However, for the running around the swimming pool naked part, only the one who got the lesser kills was going to do it.
“Don’t you think it’s a little bit early to say that she’s the winner?”
Zheng Qu picked up the rest of the darts and waved them in front of Li Nanli. “Please let Ms. Fu go, President Li. Let’s show some sportsmanship and let’s finish the match first, okay?”
“Young Master Zheng…” Mela looked worriedly at Zheng Qu.
Her boyfriend had been different from the masses. Fu Zhi had already gotten 20 Onyx Pixies, and it was very apparent who was going to win the match. A normal person would have quit the game by now to save himself some dignity, but he was different.
He refused to admit defeat, and he’d rather continue the match with Fu Zhi naked.
Everyone saw through Zheng Qu’s intention, and they were astounded by his guts.
Well, there was a great chance that he could kill three Onyx Pixies if Fu Zhi did not disturb him.
Fu Zhi did not put on any accessories or jewelry today.
She only wore a dress, a cashmere scarf, and a silver hairpin, so he only needed to hit three Onyx Pixies and Fu Zhi would have to go naked.
Everyone fell silent.
After a long while, Li Nanli chuckled. A smile broke across his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes. He fixed his gaze on Zheng Qu and his voice was dripping with venom when he was talking, “I have a suggestion, nephew.”
He pressed Fu Zhi harder into his chest and continued, “Why not let me continue the rest of the match?”
Zheng Qiu knew that Li Nanli’s heart was injured. He could not take any alcohol and he could not have any vigorous activities for the time being. However, he was still not sure about it.
Zheng Qiu fell into contemplation while Fu Zhi was also trying her best to get out of Li Nanli’s arms.
Li Nanli patted her head and warned her through a raspy voice, “Stop moving.”
‘I can’t guarantee I can hold myself back if you don’t stop moving.’
After a short bout of rumination, Zheng Qu gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, then. Let’s do it, Uncle Li.”
After all, there was nothing he should be afraid of in his current situation.
Fu Zhi was having a hard time breathing in Li Nanli’s chest. She was worried that she might accidentally hurt him when she was pushing him, so she asked, “Can you let me go?”
Li Nanli responded by tightening his arms and said, “Nope. Zhizhi, only a sc*mbag will let his girlfriend go.”
Fu Zhi became speechless.
She thought for a moment before saying, “Then, how about pushing one’s boyfriend away?”
Li Nanli clicked his tongue and replied, “Then she’s the mother of the sc*mbag.”
FU Zhi did not know what she should say.
She did not want to become a mother for a sc*mbag, so she could only let Li Nanli hold her in his arms.
—
Zheng Qu had never taken Li Nanli lightly. However, a normal man had a lot of confidence in himself, let alone a young master like him who came from a big family.
He had always dreamed that he could defeat Li Nanli. This dream had been going on for thirty years or so, and each time, it had been unceremoniously shattered, put back together, and then continued to be shattered, just like right now.
Zheng Qu seemed to understand the phrase birds of the same feather flock together.
Both of them threw their darts at the same time. When he was going up against Fu Zhi, she just deflected his darts, but Li Nanli was different. He broke his dart entirely without any difficulty and killed an Onyx Pixy with deadly precision.
He seemed even more professional than Fu Zhi. One thing to note was that he was holding Fu Zhi in one arm, and the way he casually threw the dart with one arm caused everyone to stick their eyes on him.
The night was cold.
Nobody knew when but Li Nanli’s blazer was draping on Fu Zhi’s body right now. He would lower his head from time to time, giving the group of female companions at the distance a chance to see his delicate jawline through the light.
His Adam’s apple would bob up and down whenever he was looking at the girl’s lips, and the people around started to look at this man from a different perspective.
Zheng Qu was getting more and more exasperated.
The silver lining was that Li Nanli had already finished all his darts.
Zheng Qu couldn’t wait any longer and threw another two darts in his hand.
Perhaps he was too angry or he was stressed out, both two darts did not get to break the ice.
Mela hastily went forward and calmed him down, “Calm down, honey! We can do this. We can win this!”
Mela knew it very well. She knew what would happen to his reputation if the news of him getting zero kills got out.
Zheng Qu took a deep breath and commanded himself to calm down.
Mela planted a kiss on his lips and said, “I know you can do it, honey. I know you can!”
Li Nanli became speechless.
He peeled his eyes away from the couple and focused on Fu Zhi’s lips.
Fu Zhi could sense his gaze and she raised her head. She looked at him with the help of the light and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m not feeling well, Zhizhi,” Li Nanli said, his voice hoarse and his eyelashes hid the emotion in his eyes
“Hmm?” Fu Zhi blinked her eyes in confusion and asked, “You’re not feeling well?”
However, Li Nanli did not reply and just stared at her. He couldn’t bring himself to say what he wanted, so he pointed at his lips.
Since Li Nanli had blocked her vision, she could not see that Zheng Qu and Mela were kissing. She cocked her head and looked at him quizzically.
She then pulled a mirror out of her purse and studied herself through the mirror. “I didn’t get anything dirty on my lips.”
‘I’m still as pretty as always!’
The crowd and Li Nanli became speechless.
‘You’re wrong, Ms. Fu. President Li might want to be that something on your lips.’ The crowd thought inwardly.
Fu Zhi was still eyeing herself through the mirror and she mumbled, “Why am I so good-looking?”
Then, just when she was about to keep her mirror back to her purse after she had finished admiring herself, the man in front of her grabbed her waist. He bent forward and got what he wanted.
Everyone froze, including Zheng Qu.
They all watched as the so-called high-and-mighty President Li was grasping the girl’s neck with his finger when he was kissing her. Then, when he parted from Fu Zhi, his Adam’s apple bobbed in his throat and he seemed to be saying something to her, but they could not hear it well.
Fu Zhi wrapped her arms around the man’s waist and her fair skin seemed to be glowing under the moonlight.
The crowd did not know how to describe the scene in front of their eyes. The man was handsome while the girl was pretty. It was an ethereally beautiful yet passionate scene, and some of them gulped.
Perhaps he felt the intense gaze from the crowd, Li Nanli removed Fu Zhi’s hairpin, causing the girl’s hair to cascade down her shoulder and block the crowd’s view.
He then pulled the blazer to cover the girl’s reddened face and glanced across the crowd as if he was warning them.
Holding the hairpin in his hand, Li Nanli asked, “Which part of the fish do you like to eat?”
Was he trying to kill an Onyx Pixy with a hairpin?
Fu Zhi replied, “Eyes.”
According to an ancient book, the eyes of an Onyx Pixy had a series of effects such as improving acuity of sight, removing body heat, and extending one’s life.
Li Nanli chuckled and replied, “I will get one for you, then,” which earned him a boo from the crowd.
“Hairpin? Isn’t a hairpin softer than a dart? How is he going to break the ice with a hairpin?”
“Is President Li messing with us? Not only is he going to break the ice with a hairpin, but he was aiming at the eye?”
“Hah! Let’s see how he’s going to do that, then!”
