Chapter 120: His sudden actions

Feng Meifeng thought Lu Chen would never give her this piece of paper until she nags at him a few more times.

"Class monitor, I have to go now. Later." Lu Chen left the room after saying this. As he left, he could see that Feng Meifeng has a slight grin on her face.

...

When Lu Chen arrives back at Lu Manor, Zhang Wenling waits for him at the front door. Before he could say anything, Zhang Wenling asks him, "Xiao Chen, why were you late to school?" The school had called her about how Lu Chen had skipped the first period, and she wanted to find out why.

"I got no excuse for the reason why I was late, Lao Ma. I didn't give myself enough time. " Lu Chen understood giving an excuse is just a way to escape consequences. Besides, Lu Chen is afraid that Zhang Wenling would stop his training. If he told her his training made him late, then Zhang Wenling will definitely make him stop.

Seeing that Lu Chen wasn't going to say the real reason, Zhang Wenling could only sigh, "Xiao Chen, leave earlier so you will have enough time to get to school." Even if Lu Chen doesn't want to talk about it, Zhang Wenling could put two and two together. How could she not realize it is the training regime? Heck, she was making his son food. She was tempted to make him stop, but since Lu Chen was adamant about protecting it, Zhang Wenling gave it a chance.

Zhang Wenling didn't say anything more as she walks back into the manor. But Lu Chen felt a little bit guilty right now. Even though his Lao Ma supports him, she still doesn't know what was going on between Liu Fei Fei and him.

I'm going to have to tell them soon.

He had already decided to break the engagement between Liu Fei Fei and himself. But his parent doesn't have any knowledge or thoughts of this happening. Lu Chen was going to tell him, but how could he? If the two of them find out, Lu Chen fears that they will act negatively about it.

It's like a ticking time bomb, and Lu Chen have to tell them sooner or later. But right now, it wasn't the time for it as it's only been a few days since he had come back, and he hasn't set his plans in motion. If he did tell them, then it would look really abrupt.

He walks up to his room and begins to study.

…

The next day, Elder Wu comes out to the back lawn. He was going to wait for Lu Chen to wake up like yesterday. Contrary to his expectation, Lu Chen is already outside, practicing his one-twos.

Elder Wu smiles at how hardworking Lu Chen is being as he continues to practice. Walking up to him, he asks, "It seems that you are working hard, young master." His punches look like spears driving towards his next prey.

Lu Chen turns to him and shakes his head, "But it's not enough. I need to work harder." He punches with more force as he said this.

Elder Wu steps up to the plate again as he said, "Lu Chen, today we will be going over what we were doing yesterday. But we're going to be adding combat experience." He knew if Lu Chen continues to get hit like this, then he would only be a punching bag to his enemies. The best way for him to get better is with a training partner.

Lu Chen nods, "Alright, do you want to begin now?" Eagerness drives Lu Chen as he's now getting some fight experience.

But Elder Wu shook his head, " Lu Chen, I won't be the one fighting you. Instead, it would be another person." He had prepared her for this as he looks at one of the trees, "Shuchun, you can come down now!"

Kang Shuchun jumps down the tree. When she heard that Elder Wu was selecting her to be Lu Chen's training partner, she almost fainted. However, the one who looks like he was about to faint was Lu Chen. His eyes turn wide in disbelief, and it seems like he was about to cry.

Lu Chen couldn't help himself as he rushes up to Kang Shuchun. He gives her a big hug, leaving Kang Shuchun and Elder Wu stunned.
