Story: My Lady Is So Naughty
Why couldn’t he be more like Mr. Vande, blushing and turning away with a sharp “Shut up!”? Mr. Vande was just better in every way!
As she stewed in her thoughts, Vienna suddenly leapt up from the desk, her eyes wide as she stared at Sam, her hand trembling as she pointed at him.
“Why haven’t you set sail yet?”
“What?”
“Aren’t you supposed to escort me back to Brunel?”
Sam paused, then said, “There’s no rush. We can wait a little longer.”
Wait, my a*s! Vienna exploded.
“The Judd family didn’t send you to fetch me at all, you’re here for Vande, aren’t you?! That’s why Mr. Vande had injuries on his face when I woke up! He didn’t drink the sedative, yet we were tied up together, that was your doing! And when you gave me directions, you didn’t attack me then, only drugged me at the clinic! You’ve known him all along! The one you’re chasing isn’t me, it’s him!”
Sam regarded her noncommittally. After a moment, he shrugged and said coolly, “So what? Martial artists always seek worthy opponents. It’s only natural.”
Natural, my foot! Was it really necessary to chase him to the ends of the earth?! Vienna had already forgotten that Vande had kidnapped her just to challenge the Judd family’s alliance leader. Right now, only one thought consumed her mind:
Do you know what the plural of “handsome man” is?
It’s “gay”!
Meeting a handsome guy who doesn’t like you isn’t scary. What’s scary is when he likes your boyfriend instead!
He was trying to steal her man right under her nose! Vienna slumped to the ground, utterly drained.
Tears welled in her eyes as she glared at Sam. After a long silence, she finally spoke.
“Sam, just you wait. I’ll haunt you even as a ghost.”
Sam: “…”
Not long after, Vande arrived in a hurry.
Beads of sweat dotted his forehead as he rushed to Vienna, pulling her into his arms. “Are you hurt?” he asked urgently.
Vienna pointed at her chest, then at Sam, looking utterly devastated. Clutching Vande’s collar, she whimpered, “Do you like me? Do you?”
She nuzzled against him as she spoke, causing Vande to freeze instantly. His face flushed as he backed away, murmuring, “I.. I guess so.”
Vienna burst into loud, wailing sobs. Poking Vande’s chest, she cried mournfully,
“But I like you!”
With that, she turned and fled, vanishing in a flash across the deck, her movements swift and light, eerily reminiscent of the Judd family’s “Flying Shadow” technique.
A heavy silence fell.
Vande turned to Sam, who immediately raised his hands in surrender.
“I didn’t do anything to her, I swear. I’m not blind.”
Vande: “…So, are we still fighting?”
Sam shook his head with a pained expression. “Not in the right state of mind. Next time.”
Vienna had only run a few steps when she spotted Nina waving at her from a distance.
In a flash, she darted forward and grabbed Nina’s sleeve, fuming, “You’re the one who bumped into me!”
Nina was stunned. After a long pause, she replied, “Are you okay?”
Vienna sniffled for a while before finally stopping her tears.
Having run so far, she was exhausted. Leaning against Nina, she touched her own face and looked up, asking, “Am I really that ugly?”
Nina hesitated for a moment. “You’re… passable.”
“Really?”
Nina consoled her, “Well, it depends on who you compare yourself to. If you’re up against a pile of shit, then yeah, you’re definitely prettier.”
Vienna opened her mouth, wishing she could bite her to death.
“Alright, alright, I’ll make it up to you. Come on, I’ll take you somewhere nice.”
“Where?”
Nina grinned and said, “The Judd residence.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, Vienna felt a sharp pain at the back of her neck. Dizziness overwhelmed her, and before she lost consciousness, she thought—if anything happened to her after returning to the Judd residence, she’d make sure to send this little brat a gift once she got back to her own world.
Yes, that iPhone is filled with love. Even if it killed her, she’d find a way to smack it right into her face. But as it turned out, Vienna was overthinking things.
Nina delivered her safely to the Judd residence, only to find that the legendary Old Master Judd wasn’t even home. Instead, he had left a letter behind, stating he had gone out again to respond to national policies.
“Is he even my real father? His daughter was just kidnapped!”
“Of course he is,” Nina replied. “He specifically sent me to protect you. See how well I’ve taken care of you? Not only did I return you unharmed, but I also thoughtfully arranged a matchmaking event for you, right on schedule.”
“This Judd, my father must be blind.”
Nina answered honestly.
“Absolutely. Otherwise, I’d already be your stepmother by now. Do you think I have nothing better to do than watch you and all these other men and women, dogs and bitches, go at it?”
Vienna: “…”
The sun was warm as Nina, following the decree of her idol—Vienna’s father—prepared a grand matchmaking event for his precious daughter.
Vienna sat on the high platform, watching Nina munch on melon seeds while pointing out the crowd of young heroes below.
“That one’s not bad.”
“Too tall.”
“How about this one?”
“Too rich.”
“What about that one?”
“Too handsome.”
Nina narrowed her eyes at Vienna and asked with a cold smile, “Then what kind of man do you even want?”
Vienna counted on her fingers, listing the criteria based on Vande’s standards.
“Good looks, skilled at kidnapping, good at cursing, and never speaks honestly.” She lowered her voice shyly and added, “And preferably… someone who’d force himself on me later.”
Nina summed it up: “So, a scumbag?”
“Stop spitting facts.”
The more Vienna talked, the more excited she became, while Nina rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue in annoyance.
She went out to toss the melon seed shells, but suddenly backed up when she reached the corner. Vande peeked out from outside, his face cold as he said, “Don’t move. This is a robbery.”
Nina shrugged, then slapped herself. “Got it, boss. No need for you to lift a finger.” With that, she flopped to the ground, pretending to be dead.
“What are you doing here? Where’s your high-value face?” Vienna pouted, trying hard not to grin like an idiot.
“Do you know martial arts?”
Seeing Vande’s serious expression, Vienna felt a little uneasy. She hesitated before saying, “What if I told you it’s a secret technique—jumping exercises. Would you believe me?”
Vande glared at her. “Cut the nonsense. Let’s spar.”
With that, he hoisted her over his shoulder, his face flushed red as he leaped away in a flash, disappearing in an instant.
Sparring is fine, but don’t end up sparring in bed.
Nina got up from the ground and spat out the melon seed shells.
“Ugh, shameless lovebirds.”
While the Centrum Gazette reported for the second time on the rescue of the Judd family’s young lady, Vienna was busy “sparring” with Vande. He clung desperately to his last piece of underwear, his face so red it looked like it might bleed.
“Look at you, not even knowing the basic principles of life. A person should be fearless in the face of challenges, diligent in learning, empathetic, and never admit defeat. Got it?”
Vande frowned. “What does that mean?”
Vienna grinned. “Don’t get it, huh? It means, put in more effort, don’t stop, switch positions, and go again.”
Vande turned crimson from head to toe.
Vienna continued, “Before, your legs would shake when you got angry. Could it be… kidney deficiency? Don’t tell me you’re…” incapable?
Vande exploded.
“VIENNA!!! I’LL FIGHT YOU TO THE DEATH!”
The End
