Chapter 420: Chapter 260: Living Off a Woman (Part 2)

“Yeah, Lingxue, you don’t really have a thing for that guy, do you? You better not mess around, we can’t afford to provoke Young City Lord Xu!”

“He’s one of the Four Divine Beasts, the Cyan Dragon! Although not as powerful as the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon of the Imperial City, he’s still a top-level fighter! Don’t mess with him.”

…

Everyone heard Chen Lingxue’s tone and felt she really didn’t want the arranged marriage, and they immediately panicked a bit.

Although they had indeed said before that they’d let the two meet first and see how it goes before talking further.

But for them, these large families, this was just a formality.

Whether they liked each other or not, when it came to family interests, the marriage had to happen.

“Lingxue, you aren’t really rejecting the arranged marriage with Young City Lord Xu because of the man you brought back, are you?”

Her cousin, the overseas-returned PhD, squinted his eyes slightly.

“It’s not about him.”

Chen Lingxue swept a sharp gaze across everyone, warning them:

“He’s my former classmate and did me a favor. I don’t want anyone bothering him, or don’t blame me for flipping out.”

“Let’s continue discussing the development plan, don’t veer off-topic.”

Someone stepped in to smooth things over and stopped the discussion.

….

In the room

Wang Hao and Xiaoyueyue were having a hotpot meal.

The place was indeed well done.

Using a tablet to order, and before you know it, someone delivers the ingredients to the room.

All high-quality, freshly frozen ingredients.

“Wow! This crawfish is huge!”

Wang Hao peeled a crawfish and stuffed it directly into his mouth:

“It’s fresh, sweet, and tender, delicious! This is so much more upscale than what we eat at the Settlement Camp.”

“This beef is also delicious.”

Xiaoyueyue dipped it in some egg and chewed the beef, her face full of happiness.

“I’ve realized the gap between me and the wealthy.”

Wang Hao also picked up a piece of beef and started swishing it in the pot.

Thinking about how he’d splurge on some fancy ingredients from here on his way back.

He wanted Chen Tingting, Sun Yaoyao, and Xiaoxue to try them as well.

Especially Xiaoxue.

Chen Tingting and Sun Yaoyao are both wealthy, so these fine ingredients are just everyday meals for them.

But Xiaoxue is different.

These high-end ingredients are quite necessary for her to try.

“Ding dong!”

The doorbell rang.

“Yueyue, go open the door, it’s probably the new ingredients arriving.”

Wang Hao said while eating a small green dragon from the hotpot.

“Okay!”

Xiaoyueyue put down her chopsticks and quickly ran over to open the door.

“Hey! Eating, huh?”

A slightly teasing voice came through.

Wang Hao stopped what he was doing and turned to look.

A few young people squeezed in.

The one leading looked about seventeen or eighteen.

“Who are you?”

Wang Hao picked up a wet napkin, wiped his mouth and hands, and asked casually.

“My name is Chen Yong, and Chen Lingxue is my cousin.”

The young man walked over, glanced at the food on the table and the mess, and said disdainfully:

“Wow! You’ve ordered quite a bit, huh!”

Their gazes at Wang Hao were like they were looking at a country bumpkin.

“Yeah, whatever, your cousin’s paying.”

Wang Hao hugged the approaching Xiaoyueyue in his arms, glanced at him:

“Got something to say?”

“Pretty boy, you freeloading here?”

Chen Yong was angry, feeling Wang Hao had no shame.

“So what? Got a problem with me freeloading?”

Wang Hao gave Chen Yong a disdainful look:

“If you’ve got the guts, go mooch too!”

“Damn! You think I can’t?”

Chen Yong was so provoked, he was confused:

“I’m so handsome. If I wanted to, many rich women would be eager to support me.”

“You? Handsome?”

Wang Hao looked him up and down, then shook his head helplessly and sighed,

“It’s good for young people to have confidence, but overconfidence is just boasting. With your looks, you really think you can mooch? You’re not even as handsome as I am.”

“What the heck! I’m not as handsome as you?”

Chen Yong looked at the others: “I’m not as handsome as him?”

Uh….

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

To be honest, Chen Yong wasn’t bad-looking, but compared to Wang Hao, he couldn’t even see Wang Hao’s taillights.

If the gap wasn’t so big, they could’ve lied with a straight face.

But the difference was just too great.

Two of the young girls had been staring at Wang Hao since they came in, their eyes almost turning heart-shaped.

Chen Yong:…

Alright!

Even he admitted he was slightly inferior to Wang Hao.

“Wait! I’m a dignified man, why should I freeload?”

Soon, he realized, squinting at Wang Hao with contempt:

“Only someone like you with no backbone would freeload.”

“What’s wrong with freeloading? I think it’s great! Honestly, if a beautiful woman like your cousin wanted to support you, would you refuse?”

Wang Hao casually peeled a shrimp and said.

Uh…

Once again, Chen Yong was left speechless.

Being supported by a beauty like Chen Lingxue?

He probably couldn’t even dream of it!

“Everyone has their own choices. You keep talking about being a real man, a man’s man. Then try not relying on your parents, go out there and fight monsters, support yourself!

I bet after the apocalypse, you guys haven’t even stepped out of this sanctuary, have you?”

Wang Hao disdainfully glanced at them, then placed a shrimp into Xiaoyueyue’s mouth:

“But I’m different. I fought my way out of blood and corpses, wielding two watermelon knives, cutting my way from Su Jing City South, all the way to the East, leaving a trail of rolling heads and rivers of blood.

And you talk to me about being a real man? Are you worthy? You’re just flowers in a greenhouse.”

I…

The group was once again silenced by his words.

They were all younger members of the Chen Family.

The elders in their families protected them so they never had the chance to go out.

They yearned to experience the outside world, to kill monsters, and defend their homes or something.

But they never had the chance.

They knew Wang Hao fought his way out of Su Jing.

Over 400 kilometers!

And he was with a kid, no less.

That was indeed impressive.

If that’s not being a real man, then what is?

“But… but… what are you freeloading for?”

Chen Yong stammered, questioning.

“It’s not that I can’t defeat the monsters, it’s just freeloading has a better cost-to-benefit ratio. If I can live off my looks, why use my strength?”

Wang Hao looked at them as if it was the most logical thing:

“You rich kids are all waiting to inherit family businesses, right? There was someone before, who could inherit a business, but chose to start his own.

Didn’t he end up losing even his underwear? In the end, he went back to live off his parents.”

They looked at each other, completely at a loss for words.

“Is there anything else? If not, please leave. I’m eating and don’t like being disturbed.”

Wang Hao was a bit impatient and wanted them gone.

He wanted to enjoy his meal in peace.

“My cousin already has a fiancé, the Young City Lord from the Settlement Camp. Go ahead, eat all you want, but it won’t be for long.”

Chen Yong pulled out the trump card.

“Oh?”

Wang Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Lingxue already has a fiancé?

His mood suddenly soured a bit.

It’s the man’s possessiveness taking over!

“Ha! Afraid now? You fought your way out of Su Jing, quite impressive, but I’d advise you to leave soon, lest my future brother-in-law arrives and crushes you.”

Chen Yong saw the change in Wang Hao’s expression and thought he was scared, becoming instantly arrogant.

The Young City Lord of the Settlement Camp!

Not just Wang Hao, even their generation and their parents couldn’t afford to offend him.

“I don’t really mind, but Yueyue is mine and Lingxue’s child. Is the Chen Family not going to care about this?”

Wang Hao innocently looked at them and said.

Chen Yong and the others instantly turned to stone!

Frozen there, unable to move.

Xiaoyueyue glanced at them, then at Wang Hao, blinked, and continued eating her sweet shrimp.
