Chapter 88: I've Decided to Marry You

"This time I'm telling you, I don't love you anymore! From now on, your affairs are none of my concern!"
"And Fang Chang..."
At this point, Lu Xuanhao looked at Fang Chang and calmly said, "I admit, you helped me a few years ago."
"But all these years, Liang Shiqi has always loved you, and you two can be together openly!"
"So I don't owe you any favors anymore! From now on, you go your own way, and I'll go mine!"
"Hmm?"
Fang Chang looked at Lu Xuanhao and smiled, "My own way? Shouldn't I be going mine? Besides, have you repaid my debt of gratitude?"
"Repay what?"
"Lu Xuanhao, Lu Xuanhao, I thought you'd improved a bit, but you're still an idiot."
Hearing Lu Xuanhao being insulted, the assistant stepped forward, glaring at Fang Chang: "What did you say? If you dare insult Young Master Lu again, I'll..."
"Will your mother!"
Before the assistant could finish speaking, Fang Chang stood up, lifted a chair with one hand, and slammed it down.
His physique had been enhanced, and his strength was immense!
The chair left a trail of afterimages in the air, crashing heavily into the assistant.
With a loud bang!
The chair shattered, and the assistant collapsed to the ground, covered in blood.
Seeing this, the other bodyguards wanted to rush forward, but Bai Ling'er stopped them.
Fang Chang straightened up and looked at Lu Xuanhao: "You admit I did you a favor, right? Since I did you a favor, why did you ultimately choose to be with Liang Shiqi?"
"What? You're some kind of pure love warrior?"
"Don't make me laugh."
"You keep saying you've repaid your debt of gratitude, what else do you want in return? To give Liang Shiqi to me?"
Fang Chang's tone was full of mockery: "Don't say I don't need it. Even if I did, I wouldn't need you to give it to me. I was just sitting there, quietly watching you show off. Once you're done, just leave. Why did you have to chat with me for a bit? Fine."
Tap tap tap…
Fang Chang strode up to Lu Xuanhao, looking him directly in the eye.
It has to be said, compared to his aura, Lu Xuanhao was worlds apart. Fang Chang's looks and physique were far superior, along with his somewhat sinister and domineering presence.
Standing side by side, the difference in strength was immediately obvious.
Seeing this, a hint of confusion appeared in Liang Shiqi's beautiful eyes.
Her reluctance to part with Lu Xuanhao gradually faded, replaced by memories of her time with Fang Chang.
Lu Xuanhao instinctively took two steps back, intimidated by Fang Chang's imposing presence.
"Heh..."
Fang Chang chuckled. "Look, you don't even have the courage to stand before me, yet you talk about crossing your own narrow bridge?"
"Fang, Fang Chang..."
Lu Xuanhao took a deep breath, suppressing his fear.
He was no longer the Lu Xuanhao of the past; he was now the heir to the Xuanhao Group! He had no reason to fear Fang Chang!
Thinking this, Lu Xuanhao's tone was resolute: "Since you say my debt of gratitude isn't fully repaid, that's fine. Just name your amount. And as for Liang Shiqi and you, I don't want to get involved in your affairs anymore."
"Because I've already decided to get engaged to someone else, accepting my family's arrangements."
At this point, Lu Xuanhao looked at Bai Ling'er and spoke gently, "You're Bai Ling'er, right? It was my mistake before; I mistook a fish eye for a pearl."
"Now I've seen through it all, so I've decided to accept my family's arrangement and marry you."
"..."
A strange expression appeared on Bai Ling'er's small face.
If it were the previous her, she might have subconsciously cooperated with Lu Xuanhao, even feeling a little secretly pleased.
But the moment she saw Fang Chang, her mindset changed.
It wasn't that she had fallen in love with Fang Chang, but rather that Fang Chang seemed to be the key to her awakening.
She didn't even know Lu Xuanhao well, so why was she secretly pleased? Was she, Bai Ling'er, destined to never get married?
The Bai family didn't need a marriage alliance with the Lu family!
Belatedly realizing this, Bai Ling'er shuddered, terrified by her previous thoughts. She felt as if she had been brainwashed; could it be that Lu Xuanhao had given her some kind of spell?
Thinking this, Bai Ling'er looked at Lu Xuanhao with a hint of wariness.
Seeing that Bai Ling'er remained silent, Lu Xuanhao spoke again, "Bai Ling'er, I've decided to marry you."
"No, no, no..."
Bai Ling'er snapped out of her daze and said somewhat flusteredly, "I came to save the day, you can't repay kindness with enmity!"
"What?!"
Lu Xuanhao's pupils constricted, and the muscles in his face twitched slightly.
What was Bai Ling'er saying?!
Fang Chang finally couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, Lu Xuanhao, did you hear that? People are saying you repay kindness with enmity!"
"Look at you, do you think you were so decisive and resolute just now?"
"Liang Shiqi doesn't want you anymore, so you turn around and go to the arranged marriage your family set up, and then they're supposed to happily accept you?"
"Fang Chang, shut up!"
Veins bulged on Lu Xuanhao's forehead. He roared at Fang Chang, then looked at Bai Ling'er again, his face full of disbelief.
"Bai Ling'er, what are you saying?"
"Am I wrong?"
Bai Ling'er timidly spoke: "Wasn't it a bit too direct? But I'm really sorry, I don't have any feelings for you, so I don't want to marry you, after all..."
Bai Ling'er's brain was working at lightning speed.
A moment later, her big eyes darted around, as if she had thought of something, and she immediately took Fang Chang's arm.
"Actually, he's my boyfriend, so even though you might like me, I still can't accept you. I'm sorry."
"It's Fang Chang again?!"
Lu Xuanhao's eyes were bloodshot.
Hearing the laughter around him, he wished he could disappear into the ground!
It's all Fang Chang's fault! It's all because of Fang Chang!
Liang Shiqi had always loved Fang Chang, never even letting him hold her hand. She thought he could use Bai Ling'er to vent his anger, to regain his dignity in front of everyone.
But Bai Ling'er was also involved with Fang Chang?
Seemingly afraid Lu Xuanhao wouldn't believe her, Bai Ling'er tightened her grip on Fang Chang's arm.
"Let him go!"
Seeing this, Liang Shiqi acted impulsively, rushing forward to pull Bai Ling'er away, but Bai Ling'er was determined to hold onto Fang Chang, showing no intention of letting go.
The scene of two women vying for one man felt strangely familiar to Lu Xuanhao.
Because the moment he decided to give up on Liang Shiqi, this same image flashed through his mind, and he even planned to make Liang Shiqi regret it deeply!
The good news is that this image came true.
But the bad news is, he wasn't the male lead!
“Fang Chang!!!”
Lu Xuanhao roared, his eyes bloodshot, “You’ve gone too far!!! I want to…”
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, Fang Chang’s fist slammed into Lu Xuanhao’s face. The force was so great that Lu Xuanhao flew backward and crashed into the wall.
He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with his teeth.
