After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 360: Chaotic Scene, Ning Yu Utterly Defeated

Chapter 360: Chapter 360: Chaotic Scene, Ning Yu Utterly Defeated

If Li Muchen had shown even a second of hesitation just now, Ning Yu would have felt that his love for Lu Sheng wasn’t so pure.

Perhaps it contained some elements of utilitarianism. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

After all, the current Li Muchen, who entirely lacks the memories of Tan Yuan and Chen Yin’s past interactions, is simply a businessman in the human world. Isn’t the nature of a businessman to seek profit and shun harm, to consider his own interest first?

But Li Muchen didn’t hesitate.

He blurted out "I love you" without any hesitation.

Ha.

Love? Are you worthy?

Ning Yu sneered inwardly.

Back in the Divine Realm, Tan Yuan was more powerful than him. But now, Li Muchen is just a weak human who could easily be crushed to death like an ant.

Now, the one who is worthy of her is him, not him!

"What do you have to love her with?"

Ning Yu sneered, a cold glint in his eyes.

"You, a human, don’t even have the ability to protect her. With a flick of my finger, I could crush your skull into powder."

As he spoke, Ning Yu made a gesture of lifting his hand.

However, at the moment when he lifted his hand, Lu Sheng’s eyes suddenly burst forth with a scarlet hue.

With a blink, she teleported in front of him and fiercely choked his neck, using full strength without restraint.

"Ning Yu, if you dare to harm him, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will find you and grind your bones to ash."

"If you weren’t possessing Huo Yu’s body, you would have already died several times by now."

The girl’s eyes were filled only with ruthless determination and the intent to kill.

Colder than the eternal ice.

Originally, Li Muchen didn’t know who Ning Yu was, nor did he understand why Lu Sheng was calling Huo Yu "Ning Yu." But now, he realized that this Ning Yu must also be a Demon, having taken over Huo Yu’s body.

The intent to kill is something one cannot hide.

Lu Sheng’s grip tightened, her Soul Power constantly pressuring, trying to force Ning Yu’s true form out.

The elevator lights sizzled and flashed, the girl’s powerful aura intimidating, as if blood blossomed in her pupils.

Yet Ning Yu appeared to be willingly choked by her, not resisting at all.

As if suddenly letting go of all resistance.

"Are you that cruel to me..."

His voice was somewhat hoarse as he spoke.

The right hand that he had initially raised to threaten Li Muchen was still lifted.

But this time, he gently placed it on the girl’s hand that was choking his neck, and in front of Li Muchen, he grabbed onto Lu Sheng’s hand.

Lu Sheng instinctively frowned and tried to shake his hand off, but as she looked up, she was surprised to see tears welling up in Ning Yu’s eyes.

She suddenly remembered how back in the Netherworld, Ning Yu would pester her daily, sometimes even feigning sadness to trick her into agreeing to do something.

But now was different, she could see that Ning Yu was genuinely heartbroken.

Therefore, Lu Sheng paused, her forceful grip on Ning Yu loosening, and for a moment, she didn’t even pull her hand away.

"Why is it that he always can, and I can’t?"

"You won’t even give me a chance."

"Ah Qiang, I can do better than him."

Lu Sheng took a deep breath.

She really hadn’t known before that Ning Yu was in love with her.

But no matter whether this love was genuine or just an obsession, if all he did was out of this sentiment, then she could offer him an explanation.

"You could never do better than him."

Lu Sheng looked up and spoke calmly.

"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and him is?"

"He would never force me to do anything I dislike. What he offers me is always love, trust, equality, and respect."

"He only ever thinks about what he can give me, not what he can take from me. There’s no domineering interference; I’m always free with him."

"Even if the first time we met I was dirty beside the road like a beggar, even if before tonight, my social status as a mistress is far below his."

"Even I know, even if I don’t love him, he will continue to love me just as he does now."

"But you’re different, Ning Yu," Lu Sheng said calmly, "You love me and need me to love you back. If I don’t love you, you would find a way to make me fall for you, or forcefully seduce me to be with you."

"Just like what you did tonight, you came because you couldn’t accept it, even threatening me in such a way, totally disregarding my wishes."

"I’ve tried!" Ning Yu suddenly became agitated, "I’ve tried to let go, tried not to interfere with your life, but..."

His voice suddenly halted.

But what? Ning Yu didn’t even want to say it anymore. The more he said, the more pathetic he seemed.

What does love have to do with who comes first or what’s right and wrong?

Li Muchen was indeed a gentleman.

Even though he didn’t understand the past between Lu Sheng and Ning Yu, seeing Ning Yu express his feelings for the girl so openly, even grabbing Lu Sheng’s hand in front of him, saying he wanted Lu Sheng to choose him.

Li Muchen didn’t show anger or jealousy.

He didn’t pull Lu Sheng’s hand back from Ning Yu, didn’t hold onto Lu Sheng’s shoulders to claim ownership, nor did he show any aggression towards Ning Yu.

As Lu Sheng had said earlier, even if they were in love, Li Muchen never treated Lu Sheng as his possession.

He respected all her decisions, knowing that his beloved had her own resolution. All he needed to do was to accompany and support her from behind.

Ning Yu, in fact, hoped that Li Muchen would rush over and do something to him, perhaps then the girl would actually get mad at him.

But he didn’t.

Even though it wasn’t a battle, even though Li Muchen just stood there, doing nothing, Ning Yu felt utterly defeated.

Ning Yu closed his eyes and then let go of the hand somewhat despondently, slowly sliding down to lean against the elevator wall.

Lu Sheng glanced at him, then lifted her head to say to Li Muchen, "Can you go wait for me in my room first?"

"Okay," Li Muchen paused for a second, then nodded.

Lu Sheng knew what he was thinking and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine, I’ll come find you very soon."

Upon hearing what Lu Sheng said, Li Muchen finally turned and left.

Now only Lu Sheng and Ning Yu were left in the elevator. Seeing Ning Yu’s dejected look, Lu Sheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

This was her first friend since she became conscious.

Being angry was real, the thought of nearly killing him just now was also real. But to say she didn’t care would be impossible.

"Get away from my friend," Lu Sheng crouched down in front of Ning Yu, sighing softly.

She lifted her hand to wipe the redness at the corner of Ning Yu’s eyes, "Next time, come see me with your own body; it’s very strange for you to say those things to me using someone else’s body."

Ning Yu looked up at her, his eyes growing redder. His voice slightly hoarse: "...I thought you never wanted to see me again."

"Don’t deceive me again, or use my friend. Appear before me honestly, and I’ll treat you just as a friend."

Then Lu Sheng added another sentence, as if afraid he might overthink, "But Ning Yu, just as a friend."

Just as a friend.

Nothing more.

Ning Yu took a deep breath, his tone carrying a hint of plea, "...Could you hug me for the last time, please?"

Having said so much, Lu Sheng believed Ning Yu must have understood her stance.

Therefore, she didn’t hesitate to embrace Ning Yu and pat his back, just like comforting a disheartened friend.

A few minutes later, the elevator doors opened. Lu Sheng went to the living room to call for help, saying Huo Yu had fainted in the elevator.

The people who had been playing games got a shock, and in a flurry of activity, they moved Huo Yu into a guest room to rest.

Upon hearing from Lu Sheng that he was probably just overtired and a little rest might solve the problem, they relaxed.

After settling Huo Yu in bed, everyone left the room, casually turning off the lights on their way out.

However, the moment the room door closed, Huo Yu’s eyes suddenly snapped open in the darkness.

His chest heaved dramatically.

Ning Yu’s occupation of his body hadn’t completely suppressed his consciousness. He had seen, even experienced everything that just happened.

A myriad of emotions burst forth in his heart. Shock, bewilderment, joy, bitterness...

Lu Sheng... she was actually a demon.

And that Ning Yu, he had actually done those things to her.

Even though he wasn’t in control, Ning Yu used his body. It was as if he hugged the person he liked for the first time, even kissing behind her ear.

In the darkness, the youth’s heart pounded like thunder, deafening, its beats slowly settling after a long while.

The chaos of a one-sided battlefield.
