Female lead’s Delusion of Starting Over

Chapter 114: Trouble in Magic City Right After Arrival

Living by the principle of immediate action, Lu Li set off for Magic City the next day, accompanied by a little maid in new clothes, pulling a large suitcase behind her. The contents were prepared by Cao Yingying and others, as Lu Li initially planned to buy everything new upon arrival in Magic City.

“How could we do that? It’s always better to use your own things. New purchases might not always suit your needs!” Cao Yingying hinted, her eyes full of deeper meanings! Are we not family now? Why speak in riddles?

Chen Xiaoyi didn’t want to be left behind: “Lu Brother, you’re unfamiliar with life in Magic City, and we won’t be by your side. Having things from home can make you feel more comfortable.”

There goes another riddler.

Isn’t it just a way to remind me not to flirt around? Can’t you just say it directly?

Lu Li knew Magic City like the back of his hand; after all, Li Zichuan lived there. Why did he often visit if not for Li Zichuan?

He didn’t voice this thought, though. With two jealous women, they might even get jealous of Li Zichuan. That would be absurd.

Alright! It’s normal for Chen Xiaoyi and Cao Yingying to feel jealous since one couldn’t leave and the other was assigned tasks by Lu Li, and now, Lu Li was departing with You Meng.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lu Li gestured to You Meng to follow as he headed towards the airport exit.

You Meng, pulling the large suitcase, was filled with warmth. Magic City was where her dream with Lu Brother began, where she was abandoned and then found by Lu Brother and the matron.

So much had happened, but Lu Brother had always been there. This life, she wouldn’t let anyone hurt him again.

“Ha-ha-ha, Big Brother!” A hearty voice called out as Li Zichuan, holding two cups of milk tea, waved excitedly at Lu Li.

Lu Li’s lips curled up; there weren’t many people in this world he cared about, but Li Zichuan was one of them.

“Regular sweet milk tea, damn, my taste suddenly changed, caught me off guard, man!” Handing a cup to Lu Li, Li Zichuan grumbled and gesticulated.

“Thanks!” Lu Li took a sip through the straw, appreciating the perfect level of sweetness. He was no longer that pitiful lapdog who needed extra sugar to feel better.

“Hey, you brought a girl with you? Who’s this? You didn’t give me a heads-up!” Li Zichuan eyed You Meng behind Lu Li, frowning.

This wasn’t the same girl he saw last time he visited Hangzhou, was it? Had Lu Li started living it up after giving up on Zhang Ziqin?

“You Meng, the one from the orphanage I mentioned before, who disappeared and has now come back,” Lu Li explained, gesturing slightly.

“Oh, so you’re the little Meng!” Li Zichuan’s eyes lit up, waving at You Meng: “I’ve heard a lot about you from Old Lu. Your disappearance really worried him.”

You Meng smiled lightly, nodding and giving Lu Li a tender look. So much had happened, but ultimately, there was a good outcome. She also knew about Li Zichuan, Lu Brother’s best friend, who was the first to confront Ye Chen for revenge in Lu Brother’s previous life.

“Hey, hey, hey, keep your hands off her, okay!” Lu Li slapped Li Zichuan jokingly.

“Damn, what are you saying? Do I look like I’d touch your woman? I don’t have the damn legacy of Wei Wu; how could I touch your woman?” Li Zichuan glared fiercely at Lu Li, cursing under his breath.

“But you really treat ladies like that, making them carry luggage?” Li Zichuan frowned, calling Lu Li out.

“My little maid, doing some chores is none of your demon business!” Lu Li raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat proud.

“Damn, Lu Li, you bastard, showing off your Versailles syndrome here. And who are you calling a demon?”

“Whoever responds, I guess!”

“Lu–Li–”

Watching the playful banter, You Meng’s eyes shimmered with warmth. Lu Brother was genuinely happy! And he even got jealous for her sake! Her heart raced with joy.

“Is everything arranged for our stay?” Lu Li casually asked as they walked out of the airport.

“Nonsense, I’m not heartless like you. Of course, everything’s arranged. You and… You Meng can stay at my place for now, we’ll figure out the rest later. I cleaned up a room for you.” Li Zichuan waved dismissively, clearly annoyed at Lu Li.

That guy, when Li Zichuan visited Hangzhou, actually arranged for him to stay in a hotel. Heartless!

“Stay at your place?” Lu Li frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

“Would your dad agree?” In his previous life, Lu Li hadn’t seen much warmth from the head of the Li family towards him!

Li Zichuan scoffed disdainfully.

“Pfft, my dad’s just a snob, looking down on the poor and sucking up to the rich. Knowing you’re in charge of the Lu family and Lu Corporation, he hinted, no, strongly hinted, that I should get closer to you.”

Li Zichuan had no respect for his father’s attitude. As a child, he didn’t notice much, as his father seemed friendly enough to Lu Li. But as they grew and Lu Li didn’t take over the Lu Corporation, his father’s attitude cooled. And now, he wanted Li Zichuan to rekindle their friendship.

The hypocrisy!

“So, by calling your dad a snob, what does that make you? A little snob?” Lu Li teased.

Li Zichuan rolled his eyes at Lu Li: “You bastard, picking fights with me?”

They laughed together, and then Lu Li gestured dismissively: “I won’t stay at your place. Arrange a hotel for me, a presidential suite. I don’t want to put on airs with your dad.”

“Really not staying? You haven’t been here for so long, my mom misses you.”

“I won’t go. Arrange a time tomorrow, and I’ll visit your aunt. Let’s not ruin our friendship over this.”

Thinking of his father’s behavior, Li Zichuan nodded solemnly, agreeing with Lu Li.

As they reached the airport entrance, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the air.

“I’ve told you so many times, can’t you stop pestering me? Haven’t you had enough? Get lost, don’t block my way.”
