Dragon Raja: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

"What's your name? Tell me."

Ricardo M. Road.

Lu Mingfei had expected the little fairy to tease him about sharing a name with David Ricardo, but instead, she surprisingly praised him.

"Ricardo? Not bad, he's got that flamboyant British style."

Well, that's hardly a compliment.

"Then let's stop here for today!"

Su Xiaoqiang patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder, "There's a banquet tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight. Don't come to the banquet looking sleepy like usual. If others see my boyfriend looking like a ghost, it'll be embarrassing for me."

The instant those words left her lips, Su Xiaoqiang suddenly realized the ambiguity in her statement and hurriedly waved her hand to explain:

"That's not what I meant, I meant pretending to be your boyfriend..."

Su Xiaoqiang blushed and her heart pounded. She felt that the more she explained, the more confused she became, so she simply waved her hand and said:

"Well, that's the gist of it. You shouldn't misunderstand, right?"

"No, no," Lu Mingfei waved his hand.

To be honest, Lu Mingfei was really startled when the little fairy said the word "boyfriend".

He clearly signed a labor lease contract with the young lady, so how did it suddenly turn into a contract of servitude?

"That's fine."

Hearing Lu Mingfei say there was no misunderstanding, Su Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had always treated Lu Mingfei as a brother, she had recently had a vague feeling that their brotherhood seemed to be getting weirder and weirder.

The situation between Miaomiao and Lu Mingfei is already complicated enough; she doesn't want any more misunderstandings to arise!

……

After changing back into her original clothes, Su Xiaoqiang neatly folded and put away her suit jacket, then handed the bag to Lu Mingfei.

Because the styling shop was quite a distance from Lu Mingfei's home, Su Xiaoqiang took Lu Mingfei home first before going back to her own home.

"That's it."

Lu Mingfei got out of the car, and Su Xiaoqiang waved through the half-open window, "See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

After watching the Audi A8 drive away from him, Lu Mingfei took the elevator upstairs.

Back home, the lights in the room were on today. Mai Shutoku had her legs draped over the back of the sofa, her head resting against the seat, and she was watching the Taiga drama "Saka no Ue no Kumo" on TV.

"you are back?"

Upon hearing the door open, Mai Shude's charming yet slightly cold voice rang out.

...This scene looks just like a middle-aged woman watching a soap opera at home, greeting her husband who has just returned from a hard-working overtime job. Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

Mai Shude sat up from the sofa, and the moment she turned around and saw Lu Mingfei, her usually calm and beautiful face suddenly froze.

"Did you go on a blind date?" Mai asked blankly.

Looking at Lu Mingfei's flamboyant British style, Jiu De Mai almost thought he had just returned from the Oscars ceremony.

"It's a bit complicated to explain..."

"Oh."

Lu Mingfei said it was a bit complicated to explain, so Jiu De Mai didn't ask any further questions. Although the two acted like an old married couple who had been together for many years, they had only actually known each other for two or three days.

Although both harbored their own ulterior motives... one had been spying on the other for a long time, while the other had known the other since a past life...

However, despite her reluctance to admit it, Mai actually found Lu Mingfei rather pleasing to the eye.

If he weren't Lu Mingfei, and she were just an ordinary young man she met on the Dongda campus, she might already be itching to seduce Lu Mingfei into becoming her boyfriend.

"But I still look better the way you usually do."

Mai shrugged and then sat back down on the sofa.

Lu Mingfei returned to his room, first putting away his suit jacket, then taking out his phone and SIM card from his bag and handing them to Jiu De Mai on the sofa.

Today we are in the Southern Hemisphere.

Lu Mingfei's gaze fell on the ground and then moved away.

"Oh, it's a Sony again?" Mai sat up straight and took the phone box from Lu Mingfei. "You didn't pick an expensive one for me just because I said I'd pay you back double for the phone, did you?"

"Look at what you're saying. I was mainly worried that you wouldn't be used to using phones from other countries, so I specially bought you a phone from our hometown." Lu Mingfei's tone was very righteous and righteous.

Mai Shude pursed her lips but didn't call him out on it. After all, Chip Girl was working herself to the bone to save up for this guy's future wife.

"By the way, I have something to do tomorrow afternoon and I probably won't be back until very late again," Lu Mingfei said. "Why don't you just grab something to eat like you did tonight?"

Mai Shude inserted a SIM card into her phone without looking up and replied, "Okay."

……

The sound of running water filled the bathroom, and Lu Mingfei's slender yet muscular physique was clearly visible through the frosted glass door.

Mai walked to the balcony, and as she closed the glass door behind her, she dialed that familiar number. After seven or eight rings, that lazy voice finally came from the other end of the line.

"Which one?"

There was a slight crackling sound in his voice.

The long-lost voice came through the receiver, and Mai suddenly felt a sense of peace. She took a deep breath and said, "Hello, Chips, it's me."

Suddenly, a series of crackling sounds came from the phone, like something suddenly falling to the ground, which was enough to imagine how excited the person on the other end of the line must have been in that instant.

"Hiss—Mai? Is that Mai?"

Su Enxi got up from the ground, and while helping herself up in the office chair, she asked, "You're not dead?"

"Pah, you're the one who's dead," Mai spat into the phone. "Can't you expect something good from me?"

"Waaaaah, Mai..."

Before Su Enxi could speak, Jiu De Mai interrupted her spellcasting in time:

Stop crying!

"Oh."

Su Enxi suppressed her exaggerated crying, thinking to herself, "I'm not crying for you, it's just that my butt hurts so much from falling off the chair..."

"Let's not reminisce now, I have something important to tell you."

Mai Shude turned around, leaning against the balcony, crossing her legs and folding one arm around her shoulder. After confirming that Lu Mingfei was still in the shower, she slowly said:

"I've found the information about Chu Tianjiao's identity that the boss asked me to find, and it's in my hands now. However, this information... seems to have a problem, but I can't figure it out. Could you take a look at it for me after I return to the capital?"

……

Chapter 152 Lu Mingfei's Character Setting

"Go back to the imperial capital?"

Su Enxi held the bag of potato chips in front of her and looked at it. There were no whole chips left; only some crumbs remained. She raised her hand and, like a heroine who downed a bowl of wine in one gulp, shoveled the crumbs into her mouth, making a crisp, satisfying chewing sound.

"You don't need to wait until you get back to the capital. I'm in this city right now. You can come find me directly."

Mai Shude was taken aback: "In this city?"

“Yes,” Su Enxi said.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's all because we lost contact. I was worried about you, so I flew all the way from the capital to see you. I even used the boss's private jet." Su Enxi said in a sweet, coquettish tone, "See, isn't that how good I am to you?"

"cut."

Mai Shude scoffed dismissively, but a hint of something slipped through her otherwise serene and beautiful face, which was usually as demure as a queen. She still felt quite grateful for Chip Girl's courage in traveling all that way to rescue her from the hurricane.

Although this guy is most likely not here to rescue me, maybe he just wants to collect my body or something.

"Where do you live? I'll come find you tomorrow," Mai asked.

"I'll be staying in your room."

"What?" Mai Shude was stunned, her voice suddenly rising eight octaves. "You're staying in my room? You damn fat little girl! How did you get my room key?"

“You always use my account to check into hotels. I showed my account statements to the hotel, and they gave me the room key.”

Su Enxi said, "Besides, I don't want to stay in your room either. But do you know how much it costs to go on a mission? You never control your spending, and Sanwu is a destroyer. Aren't all those financial bills saved up by me, your old mother, penny by penny?"

Besides, she's hardly a chubby girl. Su Enxi thought to herself, touching her relatively flat stomach. She's 165cm tall and weighs 50kg; her BMI is quite healthy, okay?

"Never mind, never mind." Mai waved her hand at the air; she was too lazy to bother with these things now.

"By the way, Long Legs, where have you been these past few days? Why did you only contact me today?" Su Enxi asked.

“The situation is a bit complicated.” Mai Shude glanced at the reflection of Lu Mingfei wiping his body in the bathroom glass, and rubbed her temples with a headache. “Anyway, I’m currently living at Lu Mingfei’s house.”

As she spoke, Mai Shude briefly recounted the events of the night before last to Su Enxi, including the sudden opening of Nibelungen, the mysterious person inside Nibelungen, and how she was eventually rescued by Lu Mingfei and Xia Mi.

After listening to Jiu De Mai's story, Su Enxi frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.

She had already guessed that the Nibelungen would open, given the obvious elemental turbulence in the city a few days ago. But the long-legged girl was actually saved by Lu Mingfei in the end…?

Su Enxi wasn't surprised that Lu Mingfei was able to enter Nibelungen.

They had been monitoring Lu Mingfei, so they knew that he had entered Nibelungen with Chu Zihang and Chu Tianjiao a few months ago, and that he must have left the mark of Nibelungen on his body, so it would not be difficult for him to go in again.

But does Lu Mingfei really have the ability to rescue Mai from Nibelungen?

Or did the boss actually intervene?

Oh, right! There's also that beautiful girl who wasn't mentioned in the records, the one always walking next to Lu Mingfei...

Mai Shude only gave a brief account of the whole incident, and even she couldn't glean more information from it. They could only discuss it in detail when they met tomorrow.

Since the boss hasn't contacted us, it means that everything that's happening so far hasn't deviated from the boss's plan. So all we need to do is stay put.

Just then, Lu Mingfei finished showering and came out of the bathroom. Jiu De Mai hurriedly said, "We'll talk about the details tomorrow." After a brief farewell, the two hung up the phone.
