Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 275

Chapter 275: Cracks
Away from the hospital where Luo Huian was admitted, in a small studio, Liao Liqin was using a blunt knife to carve out the eyes of the sculpture that he was making.

He peered at Du De, who was muttering, and heard her say angrily, “She was actually acting all that smug just because she contracted a few S class hunters. Who was she showing off to? If I was born in a family like her with the same silver spoon in my mouth, I would be just as lucky.”

Du De was yet to calm down. She couldn’t believe that she was scolded bloody by Luo Huian until she could not retort.

Not to mention she still could not get over the fact that someone like Luo Huian actually got into contact with an SS rank hunter!

The more she thought about it, the more Du De felt as if the heavens were playing with her. If Xue Shen or her sister had awakened in front of her then, she might have used them to climb up the social ladder.

But no! The one who got lucky was Luo Huian! That woman was arrogant to begin with; who knows how smug she must be feeling now?

Du De gritted her teeth when she recalled the smug smile that Luo Huian showed her.

She raised her head and looked at Liao Liqin, who was working on her sculpture that was beyond saving. But now that the mer had used his skills on the sculpture, it was looking so exquisite that Du De couldn’t help but marvel.

The woman dressed in a long floating skirt and intricately designed blouse looked like she was going to come alive at any second.

And the swan to which she was reaching out was just as beautiful. The more Du De looked at the sculpture, the more she felt like everyone was bullying her.

Why did Luo Huian have better luck than her? Why was Liao Liqin more skilled than her when it came to sculpting? This mute was not even worth talking to, and yet she had to please him day and night.

The more she thought about how she had to lower her head in front of a mer like Liao Liqin, the more annoyed she became.

And her frustration grew when she thought about how Liao Liqin did not even stand up for her when Luo Huian was mocking her.

He should have delivered a few good remarks to Luo Huian, in fact, it would have been better if he told Xue Shen and Xue You what kind of woman Luo Huian was; that way, those two would have distanced themselves from Luo Huian, and she would have gotten a much better chance to get close to those two S-rank hunters, and yet Liao Liqin stayed quiet!

Why did he not say anything? Was he getting soft on Luo Huian just because she was now much more skilled and powerful than her?

Du De, who suffered from a serious case of inferiority complex, felt like she had hit the bullseye.

Something was truly wrong with Liao Liqin. In the past, he would have come to her aid without her asking for it, so why did he not help her today?

Du De decided to test Liao Liqin. If this mer was planning to get close to Luo Huian, then she would have to think of a way to sabotage his chances.

There was no way she was going to let a skilled mer like him escape her grasp.

If this mer left her, then how was she going to climb further and further up the ladder that she was clinging onto. Only after using Liao Liqin’s skills, could she get where she wanted?

Not to mention, Du De looked at Liao Liqin. His slender yet muscular back was a sight to watch. Only fools like Luo Huian wouldn’t touch a mer as pretty as Liao Liqin.

However, that was for some time later. Once she gets a bit closer to her goal, she will make this mer serve her. Of course, she was not going to marry him, for she did not want to marry a mute.

“Liqin,” Du De called Liao Liqin, who paused and turned to look at her with a stoic expression. And there it was, that damned expression of his; the way he looked at her was as if she was much beneath him in every way.

“What is it?” Liao Liqin asked, his words clean and swift on the board that he was holding.

Tsk. Look at him and speak to her as if she were his slave. “What did Luo Huian say to you in the afternoon?”

“Huian?”

“That’s right,” Du De nodded while smiling at Liao Liqin, even though she was feeling annoyed at him. Why did this mer have to be so slow? Could he not answer her question at once?

Liao Liqin recalled the things that Luo Huian had told him and clenched his fingers.

‘You are an idiot,’

Her words, which were filled with mockery and contempt, were still ringing in his ears. He gritted his teeth and wrote, “She asked me— Why am I helping you when my name is on the supporting artists?”

As soon as he wrote those words, Liao Liqin raised his head with hope. He was sure that Du De was going to tell him that it was a mistake. That she must have forgotten how to write his name as the assistant and everything would be fine.

There was no way Du De, who had saved him in high school, would be treating him like a fool.

However, he was doomed to be disappointed as the second he raised his head, he saw Du De looking at him with a stunned look on her face.

“Sister De?” Liao Liqin wrote on the writing pad again, and this time he turned on the speech function.

Du De looked at him before laughing out loud, “Hahaha, don’t listen to her, Liqin. She must be trying to drive a wedge between us.”

What …?
