The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship-Chapter 712 - 616 Revenge Accomplished

Ye Rui was indeed feeling unwell due to the change of environment, having stomachaches, but she felt much better after taking some medicine.

She knew that Leng Shaoqing had planned to take a few heroes for a tour of Lisbon today, but he canceled his own plans because of her.

Ye Rui told him she was largely alright, lively as a dragon after eating and sleeping, but he insisted on staying with her.

Lying in bed and playing with her mobile phone, Ye Rui occasionally glanced at Leng Shaoqing who was reading documents at the desk, the man bathed in sunlight seemed to dwell in a kingdom made of gold, exuding an aura of royalty.

Watching him like this, Ye Rui felt an immense sense of tranquility and happiness.

Leng Shaoqing sipped the floral tea she had specially made for him, seemingly sensing her intense gaze and slightly lifting his eyes.

Their eyes locked, and Ye Rui playfully stuck her tongue out at him; he slightly curled his lips and then returned his focus to the documents.

Ye Rui shifted her attention back to her mobile screen, only to see her own character lying dead on the ground: you were killed by the player ’Evening Under Blossoms’, respawn here?

It’s crazy, absolutely crazy!

All she did was log on daily to do some tasks and enjoy the scenery, what did it have to do with this ’Evening Under Blossoms’? Could his V13 status really allow him to recklessly kill people everywhere? And specifically targeting her, what sense of achievement could he get from killing such a low-level player like her.

Ye Rui knew respawning would just lead to being killed by him again, but if she didn’t respawn, she wouldn’t be able to complete her tasks. He was guarding the teleportation point, ensuring to strike her down the moment she appeared.

Normally, Ye Rui wouldn’t get annoyed by things in the game, but this ’Evening Under Blossoms’ was simply too shameless and bullying.

She threw her phone aside and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Was she this upset from being killed in the game that she fell asleep?

Leng Shaoqing sat down by the bed; he didn’t play games much these days, but when he was younger, he played intensely and even represented Aus City in a global competition.

Games like this were all quite similar; you could get the hang of it with just a glance.

He revived Ye Rui’s character, but it was killed again within two seconds. He noticed her killer was a male character standing at the teleportation point, called ’Evening Under Blossoms’.

Leng Shaoqing checked Ye Rui’s equipment, which was rather sorry to look at, and saw her character’s name was actually Leng Xiaorui.

His lips slightly uplifted, he revived her character and started meddling with the game, quickly grasping the mechanics.

This game was essentially about paving your way with money; as long as you spend enough, you don’t really need much skill, then just keep throwing money into equipment.

Leng Shaoqing had little interest in such games that didn’t require much skillful manipulation. After playing for an hour, he placed the mobile phone back by Ye Rui’s bedside.

Finally, it was time to eat, and Qin Youyou immediately headed to the restroom.

"How’s the investigation I asked you to do?" Qin Youyou asked in a low voice from the furthest stall, holding her phone.

"Got it, I’ll send you his address and phone number."

"Good, hurry up, I’m short on time."

After receiving the message, Qin Youyou said "YES," with this, she wasn’t afraid that she couldn’t chase away Ye Rui, the bad omen.

Qin Youyou didn’t eat and found an excuse to leave early.

Ye Rui had no choice but to pick up her mobile and continue playing the game, hoping that ’Evening Under Blossoms’ had gone for a break by now; he couldn’t possibly be at the teleport point 24/7.

Just as Ye Rui, with her eyes closed, clicked to go online, a figure at the teleport point gave her a great fright—the relentless, if not ’Evening Under Blossoms’, who else?

She was prepared to confront his strike head-on, but after waiting for a while, he made no move, just standing there riding an odd-looking mount.

Ye Rui thought, maybe he’s not there?

Great, she could seize the moment to complete some tasks; even if he were a tiger, he had to nap sometimes.

Ye Rui was about to run when another low-level character teleported over; she hadn’t even seen the name when ’Evening Under Blossoms’ had already cleaved her character to death again.

The alt fell at Ye Rui’s feet, her legs trembling, regretting that she had run too late – the murderous maniac had resurrected.

She was waiting for him to swing his knife at her, but he remained motionless again.

Ye Rui wondered if his poor vision in the twilight had prevented him from seeing her, when suddenly, a line of text appeared in the game world: "Leng Xiaorui, please rid the people of this evil and kill this Blooming Twilight."

The speaker was none other than the alt who had just died.

Ye Rui thought, oh dear, this guy really just did this, she was just about to run away and he had exposed her, now she could not escape death.

Unexpectedly, the alt once again spoke up in the game world: "Leng Xiaorui, you being a V20, are you afraid of him being a V13? You’ve been an alt before too, right? You’ve been killed by him often, haven’t you?"

V20?

Is he talking about me?

Ye Rui stared intensely at the VIP symbol in front of her name, it clearly was VIP2, could he have misread an extra zero?

No, no, no.

Ye Rui rubbed her eyes vigorously, it wasn’t that the alt was seeing things, it seemed that she was the one seeing things; she indeed was VIP20, when did an extra zero appear on the end?

Ye Rui quickly checked the major leaderboards, and was startled into a sweat. Whether it was the magic leaderboard, the attack leaderboard, or the defense leaderboard... she, Leng Xiaorui, was at the top of them all.

She hurriedly checked her equipment, nearly screaming out loud, she was decked out in top-tier gear, simply

Ye Rui felt an indescribable thrill in her heart, as if avenging many years of deep humiliation; it was immensely gratifying.

Blooming Twilight was no fool; facing such a drastic disparity in strength, he naturally chose to resurrect in the main city, disappearing without a trace.

The alt excitedly typed in the game world: "The first VIP20 in the server--Leng Xiaorui, I have seen the deity, oh how mighty, with one move a knockout on Twilight Dog."

Following that, the game world exploded into chaos, soon, a large crowd of spectators swarmed through the teleportation portal, all eager to witness the splendor of the VIP20 deity.

Having played the game for so long and always been an obscure figure, barely significant even within her guild, even the guild leader came out to admire her at this moment.

Suddenly being surrounded by so many people, Ye Rui felt uncomfortable and hastily logged off.

Becoming VIP20 required a recharge of 200,000. She hadn’t realized it just now, but calming down now, it wasn’t hard to guess who had paid for her—who else but Leng Shaoqing?

Grateful and touched, she still felt quite distressed, funding 200,000 for a game wasn’t truly worth it, she was just killing time, but he took it seriously.

Ye Rui was about to log on to the game again to see the sensation she had caused when suddenly her phone rang; she didn’t check the caller ID and directly put it to her ear, her voice sweet: "Shaoqing."

The person on the other end seemed stunned for a moment before he tentatively asked: "Is this Ye Rui?"

Only then did Ye Rui realize that it wasn’t Leng Shaoqing. Her mind had been filled with the emotional and surprising gesture he made, and in a moment of delusion, she had called out his name: "It’s me, who is this?"

"Haha, can’t you even recognize my voice anymore? Or has it been so long that you have forgotten me?"

Ye Rui suddenly understood: "Chong Han?"

"Glad you recognized me, otherwise I would be so heartbroken," Chong Han joked: "Just kidding, don’t take it seriously, Rui, you’ve been well?"

"I’m quite fine, how about you? Are you still abroad?"

"I heard you came to Lisbon, why didn’t you tell me? Also, when did you change your phone number? You didn’t even notify this senior of yours, that’s really unrighteous."

When Ye Rui changed her number, she had thought about telling Chong Han, but Chong Han had been pursuing her since university and she never agreed. Although later he continued to assist her as a senior and friend, Ye Rui knew that Chong Han hadn’t given up chasing her; he was just waiting for a better opportunity.

During her junior year, Chong Han had to go abroad due to family issues. He had asked her if she wanted to go with him, but she refused.

Since she really didn’t like him, why give him hope? So after changing her phone number, Ye Rui never informed Chong Han, especially since by that time she was already with Leng Shaoqing.

Ye Rui didn’t want to lie to Chong Han with excuses like losing her phone. She just smiled, figuring that Chong Han, being as smart as he is, would understand her reason.

"Rui," Chong Han suddenly spoke seriously, "You aren’t doing well, are you?"

Ye Rui didn’t understand why Chong Han would say this. Just as she was about to say something, Chong Han continued, "I’m your senior, and we have such a good relationship, you don’t need to hide from me. Leng Shaoqing marrying you yet not cherishing you, he really is a beast."**
