183: Chapter 183 Knowing Black Kite

Liu Yuan threw a punch, which Su Nange easily blocked. She snapped, "Can you just shut up for a second!"

Su Nange looked miserable; Black Kite was definitely no joke!

They had undergone the most rigorous training in China, after all.

Though they had retired from the military, they were still under thirty and still in their prime.

Moreover, the space was cramped, and with the four women coordinating perfectly to besiege him, how could he hold them off?

But Su Nange couldn't very well lose face, could he?

He knew that Black Kite had also been wanting to pick a fight with him for a long time.

These ladies were former soldiers, and their competitive drive was far beyond that of ordinary people.

Su Nange cycled through all sorts of combat techniques.

The four women of Black Kite grew more shocked as the fight progressed.

Was this man a monster? He seemed to have almost no weaknesses.

At first, the four women plus Liu Yuan were able to firmly suppress Su Nange.

Of course, the Eldest Miss's current strength was just making up the numbers. In a fight of this level, she could only provide buffs from the sidelines.

As the battle dragged on, Su Nange's advantages in stamina and strength began to show.

Naturally, Su Nange couldn't bring himself to use lethal force like they were; he held back with every strike.

To Liu Yuan, everyone involved was dear to her, so she couldn't let anyone get hurt.

She called out just in time, "Alright, alright. This guy is so thick-skinned that my fists are starting to hurt. Let's call it a day."

It had only been about ten minutes, but everyone felt quite drained.

However, Liu Yuan hadn't expected what happened next.

The members of Black Kite exchanged looks. Suddenly, one of the women stepped forward and said, "Young Master Su, could you give us some pointers?"

"Your martial skills are beyond reproach. Even our former instructors might not be a match for you."

"Eldest Miss, is it alright? Let Young Master Su be our new instructor."

Liu Yuan was perfectly fine with that; in fact, that was her objective in bringing Black Kite here today.

Why not use such a great resource like Su Nange? Who wouldn't want their own guard to be the best in the world?

"Sure! As long as this guy agrees."

The four women bowed in unison. "Young Master Su, we are willing to become your students!"

Su Nange quickly replied, "Ladies, please don't. I'm just taking advantage of being a man and having more strength. If you don't mind, let's just consider it a mutual exchange of ideas."

"Thank you, Young Master Su!"

And so, Su Nange truly became Black Kite's private coach.

Su Nange was already proficient in various martial arts, and his practical combat experience was gradually growing.

Especially after his battle with The Four Elite Guards, he had gained new insights into the unified breakthrough tactics used against four-person squads.

After teaching these things to the four women, the ladies developed even more admiration for Su Nange.

This left the Eldest Miss watching from the side even more infatuated.

She decided that she would give this man a proper reward tonight.

Liu Yuan checked her schedule. "Hubby, how should we spend Christmas this year? Do you want to go abroad?"

Su Nange replied, "Let's not. Ange Technology just started up, and besides Professor Xu Zhiran's research, I want to start a skincare brand. Using biotechnology, it definitely has potential."

"Hehe, I'll just harvest money from little rich girls like you."

"You have no idea, I was deeply impressed after hearing Professor Xu Zhiran's explanation today!"

Su Nange prattled on, talking at length about his business empire.

Liu Yuan giggled. "You really look like a career man now."

"What, is that not good?"

"It's great, you're super charming!"

This Eldest Miss was not only beautiful and wealthy, but she also provided plenty of emotional value.

Su Nange kissed her on the forehead. "What a good wife. I didn't realize you were the type of woman who brings good luck to her husband!"

Liu Yuan was very proud. "Of course I am."

"Oh, right. My dad suddenly approached me today and asked if I was in a relationship. Then he said some strange things, like how he was glad I finally found a boyfriend, and he even encouraged me not to throw tantrums like a spoiled miss."

Su Nange chuckled upon hearing this.

Sigh, isn't this all because that 'cheap' uncle of mine put in a word for me?

'Cheap' uncle? Perhaps only I would dare to speak so arrogantly.

But, I'd rather he wasn't my uncle at all!

His uncle's daughter hadn't been able to sleep well for the past few days.

Why is that guy so resolute?

Were all those things he said lies?

Zhou Wanqing lay in bed, feeling restless.

She got up to read for a bit and saw that line again: "Thick-skinned but not lowly, cold-hearted but not toxic, self-interested but not harmful to others—that is true class."

Why him again? This is so annoying!

No, something isn't right here.

Su Nange isn't afraid of anything; he even dared to beat up Lü Guangming. Why did he back down when it came to his feelings for me?

Zhou Wanqing closed the book.

What on earth did my father say to him?

At this late hour, Liu Zongren suddenly called.

Zhou Wanqing was impatient. "Brother Zongren, it's so late, I was just about to sleep!"

"I'm sorry, Wanqing. Do you have time tomorrow? I've picked out a few gifts for my grandfather, but I'm a bit unsure. Could you help me give some advice?"

Zhou Wanqing's instinct was to refuse, but then she remembered—didn't this guy just have a confrontation with Su Nange?

That matter even reached her father. Could this guy be up to something?

So, she replied, "Alright, let's meet tomorrow then."

Liu Zongren was overjoyed. "Great! Wanqing, come over to my house for dinner tomorrow. I recently found a new private chef; his cooking will definitely satisfy you!"

However, the next day, looking at the table full of exquisite dishes, Zhou Wanqing had no appetite.

The taste was, of course, better than what her mother, Liu Yuan, or Su Nange could make.

But had Zhou Wanqing never eaten good food? This kind of thing was all the same to her.

What she needed was that cozy, homey atmosphere.

Was it that Liu Yuan or Su Nange couldn't afford to take Zhou Wanqing to a fancy restaurant?

There was no way those places could touch Zhou Wanqing's heart more than something made by hand.

So, this was one of the ways Liu Zongren fell short compared to Liu Yuan and Su Nange.

Zhou Wanqing took a few bites and then put down her chopsticks.

Liu Zongren asked, "What's wrong? Is it not to your taste? I'll have the chef make something else for you."

Zhou Wanqing shook her head. "No need, the food is excellent. I just haven't had much of an appetite lately."

"Brother Zongren, I came here today because I want to make things clear to you."

"I know our parents might both have intentions of pairing us up. However, I believe that love is something that cannot be forced."

"I've always viewed you as a brother."

"Therefore, I can interpret your surveillance of me as well-intentioned protection."

"But! What you did against Su Nange this time—I really think you went too far!"

Liu Zongren waved his hand, dismissing the servants.

Liu Zongren thought Zhou Wanqing was sticking up for her newly recognized cousin.

Thus, he was quite sincere and took the initiative to admit his mistake. "I'm sorry, Wanqing. This matter was my fault."

"It's because I care about you too much. Please believe me, my intention was never to hurt Su Nange."

Zhou Wanqing: "Brother Zongren, I hope you won't do this."

"Even if you use these methods, I won't develop feelings for you in that way."

"I can tell you very clearly right now that in my entire life, I, Zhou Wanqing, have only ever fallen for one man."

"That person is Su Nange!"

Liu Zongren finally realized something was wrong.

He stood up, leaning his hands on the table, staring at Zhou Wanqing across from him.

"Wanqing, what are you saying? Am I, Liu Zongren, really not as good as that young brat?"

"Besides, how could you do such a thing! Do you want to become the laughingstock of the Zhou and Wen families?"

Zhou Wanqing was a bit confused. "I... why would I be a laughingstock for the Zhou Family? I just like a man who is younger than me. What's wrong with that?"

Liu Zongren roared, "But you can't fall for your own cousin!"

Zhou Wanqing looked like she'd lost her soul. "Cou... cousin? Su Nange is my cousin?"

Zhou Wanqing finally understood why Su Nange suddenly wanted to part ways.

Breaking up before it even truly began...
