AMRWFA -Chapter 264 The “Ordinary Passerby” Talisman

Fortunately, this stretch of road was meant for leisurely strolling, so there were very few cars.

When Lu Baojing rushed across, there wasn’t a single vehicle on the road.

Ruan Yaoyao didn’t even have to feel guilty about making anyone jaywalk—she quickly led Ruan Zhihe and Lu Rulan to follow.

【How could we not enjoy such fresh gossip?】

【Heh heh… let’s see what he does now!】

【Caught, huh?】

【Exposed, huh?】

【Caught red-handed, right?】

…

Ruan Yaoyao was practically gloating.

Ruan Zhihe nearly burst out laughing.

Aunt Xu, just how much do you love gossip?!

Wang Yukai still tried to pretend he didn’t know Lu Baojing, asking if she had mistaken him for someone else.

Lu Rulan grabbed Lu Baojing’s arm and backed her up. “Wang Yukai, you and Jingjing grew up together—you’re childhood sweethearts. You’ve been together for so many years. Look her in the eyes—how can you say something like that?”

The woman beside Wang Yukai was also startled. She looked at him, then said, “Everyone, calm down. Childhood sweethearts?… His name isn’t ‘Wang Yukai.’ He’s called ‘Fang Ming.’ Could there be some misunderstanding? Like… maybe twins or something?”

Wang Yukai was about to go along with that excuse—maybe he had a twin brother who looked exactly like him, maybe someone long-lost…

But before he could finish, two or three women suddenly rushed out from the milk tea shop nearby. Each of them wore the same shocked expression.

“You said your name is Fang Ming? Then why do you look exactly like my boyfriend?”

“You look exactly like my boyfriend too.”

“And mine—my boyfriend looks just like you as well!”

…

Ruan Yaoyao nearly laughed herself crazy:
【Hahahaha…】

【How many multiples is this supposed to be?】

【All that effort arranging for them to show up was worth it!】

Now Wang Yukai had no way to argue. Twins or triplets might still be believable—but when five or six “identical” boyfriends appeared, there was no way to explain it.

The women surrounded him, demanding an explanation.

Seeing so many women, Lu Baojing was completely shattered.

“Wang Yukai!”

“What have you been doing behind my back?!”

“Who are they?”

“Why are there so many women?”

“Didn’t you say you were busy with work? Is this what you meant by busy?”

“And you’re still pretending! Even if you turned to ashes, I’d still recognize you!”

…

There was no room for Wang Yukai to speak.

Lu Rulan helped Lu Baojing and the others compare timelines—when they met him, how often they saw him.

The result made everyone snap.

A true master of time management—breaking up with one woman in the morning, seamlessly dating another in the afternoon. Flowers for one, perfume for another. Flying south today, north tomorrow…

In short, his “work” was always “busy, busy, busy”—so busy he never had time to meet them in person, only keeping in touch through phone calls.

Some had just met him a few days ago, others had broken up with him last month. Compared to Lu Baojing, everyone realized—

They were just ways for him to pass the time.

And Lu Baojing had it the worst.

She was his childhood sweetheart. Their families had met. They were preparing for marriage.

From school uniforms to wedding dresses—such a romantic story, like a fairy tale.

But behind that romance was nothing but his infidelity and deception.

Lu Baojing crouched on the ground, crying her heart out.

Wang Yukai tried several times to step forward and explain, but Lu Rulan kept pulling him back, telling him to get lost. She questioned him on Lu Baojing’s behalf—after all these years, how could he treat her like this?

Did he even know how happy Lu Baojing was every time she talked about him?

“You say you love her—this is how you love her? Wang Yukai, you’re not even a man!”

“Get out of the way! I’ll talk to Jingjing myself. Why do you keep interfering?” Wang Yukai shoved Lu Rulan aside, almost hitting her.

The ferocity in his eyes was chilling, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

Lu Rulan’s heart pounded. She had never seen him like this—like being stared down by a wild beast, her limbs turning cold.

Fortunately, Ruan Zhihe quickly pulled her away.

Wang Yukai rushed to Lu Baojing and asked her to listen to his explanation. He told her those women were just casual flings—nothing real. The only one he truly loved was her.

The women who had been “casual flings”: “…”

Heh.

Your childhood sweetheart really has terrible luck.

Lu Baojing cried, “So you admit it… you lied to me! Wang Yukai, get lost! You lied! You said I was your only one—we’d grow old together. You liar!”

“Jingjing, we will! I swear, we will be together forever. Just don’t mind them, and we’ll be fine…”

“You’re telling me not to mind them? What do you take me for?” Lu Baojing looked at him in disbelief.

The man she loved actually thought she would accept this?

This wasn’t some feudal era—did he really expect her to tolerate his cheating?

She shoved him away, telling him to stay far from her.

Yes, she loved him—but not to the point of trampling her own dignity.

“If that’s your explanation, then there’s nothing left to say. Wang Yukai, we’re over!”

“Jingjing, don’t scare me! I have my reasons—you don’t understand! I can’t help it. I love you, I want to be with you, but I can’t be with only you, I—” Overwhelmed, Wang Yukai shouted at the system in his head, “Shut up!”

System: 【I told you to calm down—didn’t you hear me?】

System: 【There’s more than just Lu Baojing in this world!】

System: 【Out with the old, in with the new…】

…

Lu Baojing immediately fell silent.

Seeing that he had scared her, Wang Yukai hurried to explain that he wasn’t talking to her—he was talking to someone else.

The people around: “…”

Oh, so that was meant for us, huh?

The bystanders: “…”

We were just quietly watching the drama—we didn’t say a word!

“Can you be quiet for a moment and let me talk to Jingjing?” Wang Yukai gritted his teeth at the system in his mind. Seeing the crowd around, he knew this wasn’t the place to talk. He grabbed Lu Baojing’s hand and tried to drag her somewhere more private.

Fearing he might do something reckless, Lu Rulan immediately followed.

Ruan Yaoyao and Ruan Zhihe exchanged a glance and followed as well.

The other women and curious onlookers were stopped by plainclothes officers hidden among the crowd.

“Let go of me!”

“No! I’m going to make this clear so you don’t keep thinking I lied to you…” Wang Yukai held tightly onto Lu Baojing’s hand and dragged her straight into a nearby hotel, demanding the front desk give them the best room.

The receptionist almost called the police, but the plainclothes officer who followed behind showed credentials, and the room was quickly arranged.

Wang Yukai glanced at the officer, ignored the system’s chatter, and took Lu Baojing upstairs.

Just as he was about to close the door, Lu Rulan, Ruan Yaoyao, Ruan Zhihe, and the officer all pushed in, their expressions making it clear—they would never leave him alone with Lu Baojing.

“Damn it!” Wang Yukai cursed. “Come in if you want. But whatever happens next, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Whether you live or die—that’s on you.”

“Don’t worry, we won’t hold you responsible,” Ruan Yaoyao said.

Wang Yukai felt irritated—why did this old woman have to meddle in everything? This was between him and his girlfriend—what did it have to do with her?

If they wanted to court death, then so be it.
