Chapter 13: Child, You Are Invincible Now

This damned world.

Yu Ling stared at the livestream room that had been shut down and mourned it for three seconds.

The crackdown on the internet was in full swing. She had anticipated the ban before going live, but it didn’t matter—Lin Mianmian’s face had already been seen, and that was enough.

Yu Ling raised her phone high, pretending the livestream was still ongoing, and gave a subtle look to Chu Ming beside her.

Chu Ming understood immediately, holding the phone and hiding behind Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang’s burly frame was more than enough to shield her.

Yu Ling pinched herself discreetly, and instantly her eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes.

She could act, but there was no need.

With no time to prepare, she started crying right away.

“Mu Chenbei, why... why would you do this to me?”

Yu Ling stepped toward the bedside and yanked Mu Chenbei down.

Mu Chenbei, caught off guard by her sudden action, was stunned momentarily and was pulled to the floor.

Realizing what happened, he hurriedly picked up his jacket and tied it around his waist to cover himself.

Caught in the act, his complexion visibly darkened, turning a deep liver color.

“Yu Ling, are you crazy?”

Being caught cheating by his real girlfriend, his first reaction was to blame her.

See, Mu Chenbei was always so arrogant.

In their relationship, Yu Ling’s humiliation was evident.

Yu Ling blinked, finding the childlike figure utterly unappealing; if she looked any longer, she’d feel physically sick.

“Mu Chenbei! She’s livestreaming! Smash her phone now!” Lin Mianmian shouted hoarsely, clutching herself—she was the first to realize what was happening.

She and Mu Chenbei... had been exposed live by Yu Ling.

How was this different from public indecency?

How was this different from filming an educational sports video?

Lin Mianmian’s world had collapsed.

She could imagine how the outside world would judge her—fans would unfollow and criticize her, brands would terminate contracts, and she’d have to pay the penalty herself...

Lin Mianmian felt utterly desperate.

She urgently called the system: “Hurry, save me! What should I do now?”

---

“Make all the content Yu Ling livestreamed disappear immediately! Speak up, don’t pretend to be dead!”

Lin Mianmian was about to break down; she even wished for death.

But she found the system had stopped responding.

Why was this happening?

Covering herself with a pillow, she shed tears of humiliation.

At her reminder, Mu Chenbei snapped out of his daze, bloodshot eyes blazing as he lunged at Yu Ling.

Tears streaming, Yu Ling shook her head, stepping back theatrically, hiding the phone behind her.

She cried, “No... don’t.”

But Mu Chenbei wouldn't listen; the thought of millions—or even more—seeing him like this made him want to kill Yu Ling.

With lightning speed, he grabbed the hand behind her back holding the phone.

He pulled hard, but it wouldn’t budge.

“Give it to me,” he snarled fiercely.

Yu Ling shook her head desperately, tears blurring her vision.

Mu Chenbei used brute force to snatch the phone, then without looking, threw it to the ground, shattering it.

Yu Ling glanced at the broken phone on the floor with her peripheral vision, feeling a pang of pain.

She had just bought this expensive new phone this year; barely used it...

And now it was ruined...

Mu Chenbei raised his hand, about to strike Yu Ling.

She closed her eyes, but the slap never came.

Xiao Zhang rushed over and grabbed Mu Chenbei’s wrist. Being a longtime fitness enthusiast, Xiao Zhang was far stronger than this weak office pretty boy.

Mu Chenbei gritted his teeth and threatened, “Let go.”

Xiao Zhang glared coldly, standing protectively in front of Yu Ling.

Mu Chenbei’s wrist hurt badly under the grip; he struggled fiercely but couldn’t break free.

Yu Ling whispered, “Let him go.”

Only then did Xiao Zhang release Mu Chenbei’s wrist and shove him.

Mu Chenbei stumbled, almost falling.

He glanced at Yu Ling, softened his voice, and said, “Lingling, you still love me, don’t you?”

The coldness and menace in his eyes vanished, replaced by overflowing affection.

---

Yu Ling just wanted to laugh; outwardly indifferent, inwardly she sneered.

Mu Chenbei actually thought she forgave him and would blindly obey him like a fool.

Was he going to force her to play along next? Announce to the world that he and Lin Mianmian were a normal couple? That her claim of catching him in the act was fabricated, that she trespassed, maliciously inciting cyberbullying on an innocent person, dumping all the dirt on her?

Yu Ling felt her suspicions were right.

Sure enough, the next moment Mu Chenbei said, “Mianmian, I only made a mistake every man would make. You’ll forgive me, won’t you?”

“I’ll change, I promise I’ll change. Just forgive me this once, Lingling?”

Yu Ling didn’t reply.

Seeing her unmoved, he panicked, hurriedly grabbing her hand and holding it, “Lingling, please forgive me this once, okay? I promise I’ll only love you from now on. We’ve been together for a year—you know how much I love you. Let’s get married, okay?”

“Love me?”

Yu Ling smiled sarcastically, retorting, “You say you love me?”

Mu Chenbei nodded vigorously, with a gaze full of passion: “I love you, of course I do.”

“If you love me, then why did you sleep with another woman?”

Yu Ling mercilessly exposed his lie.

Mu Chenbei’s face instantly darkened; the mask of affection cracked for a moment.

Yu Ling stared silently, unwavering, giving him time to think.

She wanted to see what kind of nonsense could still come out of that lying mouth.

Seconds ticked by; no one dared interrupt.

After about a minute, Mu Chenbei finally found his words.

Frowning deeply, eyes reddening further, he looked at Yu Ling tenderly, then spoke in a deliberately husky, magnetic voice:

“Baby, you’re the only one I love. She came onto me, trying to seduce me. She wants to hurt you.”

Yu Ling’s face was expressionless, as if saying, “And then?”

“Baby, I know she took many of your opportunities and bullied you many times, that’s why I slept with her. If a gift is offered, why refuse? Once I’m done with her, I’ll throw her away like trash and shame her thoroughly to avenge you.”

Mu Chenbei never failed to disappoint—his words were shameless to the extreme. Listening any longer made Yu Ling feel as if her ears were being poisoned.

Unable to control his desires, he indulged himself, then falsely claimed he endured humiliation to seek revenge for his beloved by staying with Lin Mianmian.

Yu Ling thought for a long time, then squeezed out from her throat, “Boy, you’re truly unbeatable.”
