Chapter 55: Sudden Arrival of an Expert

Chapter 55: Sudden Arrival of an Expert

After leaving the restroom and seeing that the hallway outside was empty, Zhou Lang breathed a silent sigh of relief.

If someone had seen Xiao Xi and him walking out of the men's restroom together, others would have thought they were doing something inappropriate inside.

If they were at his own home, they could do whatever they wanted, but this was the public restroom of a noodle shop.

Doing such things here would be immoral and would invite contempt; he certainly didn't want to be misunderstood.

Because of the previous experience, Xiao Xi very familiarly linked her arm with Zhou Lang's.

When the two passed through the noodle shop lobby, the owner, who was in his early thirties, was completely dumbfounded.

Two great beauties had just left, and now Zhou Lang had hooked up with another one.

This really was a case of comparing people only to make others angry!

But Zhou Lang's speed at picking up girls was just too fast, wasn't it?

Meeting a beauty in the restroom and getting her in a minute or two?

This was even more impressive than the legendary Casanova, making one have to admire him.

"Buddy, can we step aside and talk?"

The noodle shop owner hesitated for a moment, arranged for a waiter to take over collecting money, walked quickly to Zhou Lang, and said with a look of admiration.

"Xiao Xi, you go outside and wait for me first; I'll be out in a moment."

Zhou Lang hesitated slightly and said to Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi was very obedient, nodded cleverly, and stepped out of the noodle shop in a pair of high heels.

Now, she walked in high heels very naturally, and that willow-swaying demeanor would surely mesmerize countless men.

"Buddy, you are truly amazing, worthy of being called a Casanova, a real master at picking up girls. Could you teach me sometime? From now on, whenever you come to my noodle shop to eat, it will be free of charge."

Seeing that Xiao Xi had left, the noodle shop owner lowered his voice.

Now, he was concerned with how to become a master at picking up girls.

As for when such a great beauty as Xiao Xi entered the noodle shop or when she entered the restroom, he didn't think about it at all.

Otherwise, he would definitely have been surprised, because no one had seen Xiao Xi enter the noodle shop; she had appeared out of thin air.

"I can't teach you this because picking up girls cannot be taught in words; it can only be understood through intuition."

Zhou Lang was taken aback for a moment, then walked away quickly.

However, he felt happy inside.

In college, because he was very poor and had to work part-time during his spare time, he was basically marginalized by people in his class, and those girls with even a little bit of beauty were unwilling to pay him any attention.

But now, he was being called a Casanova.

In less than a month, his situation had undergone such a huge change that he really hadn't expected it.

Immediately after, he and Xiao Xi reunited outside the noodle shop and continued to take Xiao Xi shopping and experiencing life.

That afternoon, Zhou Lang received another call from Li Mengxue.

Li Mengxue said that she wouldn't be going to Lovers Bar for the next few days, telling him he could make his own arrangements and didn't need to pick her up.

"What is Li Mengxue busy with? Or is she deliberately distancing herself from me? Or does she feel that I, this bodyguard, am no longer useful, and is adopting this method to make me resign on my own?"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Lang couldn't help but think.

He felt that the first two possibilities were more likely; he had helped Li Mengxue, and Li Mengxue wouldn't go so far as to burn bridges after crossing them.

Before Zhao Xiaorou got off work, Zhou Lang returned to the rented apartment.

Xiao Xi returned to Qiankun Palace, while he sat cross-legged on the sofa to Cultivate.

"Brother Lang, it's rare to see you at home today. Didn't you go accompany your foreign girl?"

As soon as Zhao Xiaorou returned home and saw Zhou Lang, she asked with some surprise.

"Ahem, you don't need to be so jealous. I already said, if you want to be my girlfriend, you have to be able to tolerate that I have other women, because I am a Cultivator, not an ordinary man."

Zhou Lang stopped his meditation and said, "Ivanova is not a foreign girl; she is of mixed heritage. Her mother was Chinese, and her father was Russian, but both of her parents have passed away."

"I have no interest in her background. Actually, it's not that I'm jealous; it's that she is too disrespectful to me. She actually slept with you in our shared apartment right in front of me."

Zhao Xiaorou said, "With her acting like this, even a woman with a large heart would have fire in her heart."

"She is just competing with you."

Zhou Lang laughed, "In the future, you two should stop arguing."

Just as Zhao Xiaorou was about to say something, Zhou Lang's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Was anyone following you just now?"

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Xiaorou also lowered her voice, not knowing what Zhou Lang meant.

Ding-a-ling!

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Zhou Lang opened the door, and two burly men in sunglasses and suits walked in.

The two men were roughly the same height and build, and their appearances were almost identical; they were clearly twins.

The only difference between the two was that one of them had a black mole on his cheek.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Lang asked.

Just now, he had felt two people arrive at the door, and these two people were clearly martial artists with vigorous True Qi; they could be considered experts.

In an era where martial arts and Cultivation were in decline, it was very difficult to see any experts.

Suddenly, two experts appeared outside the house he shared with Zhao Xiaorou, and he couldn't help but become suspicious.

After all, Zhao Xiaorou was too beautiful; it wasn't impossible that she had attracted a pervert on her way home from work.

"This is none of your business, get lost. We are here to find Ms. Zhao Xiaorou."

The man in sunglasses with the mole didn't even look at Zhou Lang and walked straight to Zhao Xiaorou.

"You… who are you?"

Zhao Xiaorou said with some panic.

"Ms. Zhao, you should know us, The Wang Twins, right?"

The man in sunglasses without the mole said, "A month ago, you went missing from the provincial capital, and our Young Master Shangguan misses you very much."

"Our brothers searched everywhere for you, and it was not easy to discover that you actually came to Feiyun City."

"Now that you've had enough fun, please come back to the provincial capital with us. Young Master Shangguan hopes to marry you as soon as possible."

"The Wang Twins? Young Master Shangguan? Marriage?"

Hearing the words of the two men in sunglasses, countless questions popped into Zhou Lang's mind.

Could it be that Zhao Xiaorou was not just an orphan and a working girl? Then, what exactly was Zhao Xiaorou's identity?

"Wang Fan, Wang Zhong, where I want to stay seems to have nothing to do with you, right? I already told Young Master Shangguan Yu that I will not marry him. You go back and tell him to give up on that idea."

Zhao Xiaorou snorted coldly.

"Ms. Zhao, your marriage to Young Master Shangguan was agreed upon by your father and our Master Shangguan. Young Master Shangguan also likes you very much, and hopes you can come back with us."

The man in sunglasses with the mole said. His name was Wang Fan, and he was born two hours earlier than Wang Zhong.

"If I am to marry, I have to be willing. Since you say my father and Shangguan Long agreed to it, then let those two old men get married instead."

Zhao Xiaorou said.

"Ms. Zhao, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Since we have found you today, even if you are unwilling to go back, we will forcefully take you back. Do you think we would make this trip in vain?"

The man in sunglasses without the mole, Wang Zhong, changed his expression and said angrily, finally revealing his ferocious side.

"You would dare to lay a hand on me?"

Zhao Xiaorou said.

"In this world, what is there that The Wang Twins dare not do?"

Wang Fan laughed.

"Gentlemen, this is my house. I don't welcome you, so please leave."

Before Wang Fan's laughter stopped, Zhou Lang had already stood between him and Zhao Xiaorou, blocking him.

"Who are you, kid? You seem to be living with Ms. Zhao? Do you know that if our Young Master Shangguan finds out about this situation, you will immediately become a dead man?"

Wang Fan said angrily. He didn't take Zhou Lang seriously at all.
