A forced melon isn't sweet, but it quenches your thirst. Chapter 218: Striking Back

"Poof! You...are the Southwest King?"

Mu Wancheng and Qin Shiyu circled Chen Pingan, and finally the two couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Both of them had long analyzed whether Chen Ping'an could be the Southwest King, and had reached the absolute conclusion that it was impossible. How could they believe his words?

At this moment, the thoughts that popped into both their minds were the same: Chen Ping'an wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to impersonate the Southwest King and make Mu Wanting not divorce him!

The reactions of the two startled Chen Ping'an. Could it be that they hadn't discovered his identity as the King of the Southwest, and he had inadvertently revealed himself?

But the words have already been spoken, it's impossible to take them back!

"Genuine!"

Chen Ping'an replied helplessly.

"You say you are the Southwest King, then we have a question for you."

"After the Southwest King's Tournament ended that day, where did you go?" Mu Wancheng asked Chen Ping.

"Of course, I'm going home!" Chen Ping'an answered honestly without even thinking about it to Mu Wancheng's question.

"Chen Ping'an, be honest with me, what is your intention for impersonating the Southwest King?" Who knew that as soon as Chen Ping'an finished speaking, Mu Wancheng immediately shouted back at him.

Because that day they heard that the Southwest King was injured. The Southwest King's dominance just ended, and the Southwest King was sent to a private hospital, while Chen Pingan said he went home. Such a big "gap" made them even more certain that Chen Pingan was impersonating the Southwest King.

Mu Wanting's words once again left Chen Ping stunned. Wasn't he the Southwest King himself? How could he be impersonating someone?

Chen Ping'an chuckled: “You’ve all seen through me, impressive!”

Chen Pingan finished speaking and gave the two women a thumbs-up.

He was truly impressed by these two women from the bottom of his heart. He had already admitted it himself, but they insisted on claiming to be imposters. There were no other women as innocent and foolish as them!

But Mu Wancheng and Qin Shiyu's actions were exactly what Chen Pingan wanted. Since you don't believe me, he simply went along with it and admitted that he was an imposter.

"Well, you should know who we are. We're two of the Four Beauties of Long City. You won't get away with tricking us!"

"If you ever dare to lie to us again, you'll regret it!"

The two women looked delighted.

“Yes, yes, yes. From now on, I will never dare again.”

"Excuse me, ladies, what can I do for you?"

Chen Ping'an followed the two women's words and asked.

"Almost forgot the important thing!"

"I asked you, did you just see the Southwest King inside? Where is he? Has he come out?"

Chen Ping's words finally reminded the two of the main point, and they looked at Chen Ping with eager anticipation.

"I see, but Southwest King has already left the Imperial Grand Hotel!"

Chen Pingan nodded, answering seriously. He wasn't lying to Mu Wancheng and Qin Shiyu. He had indeed already left the Dihao Grand Hotel.

Where did he go?

Hearing that the King of Southwest had left, the two women immediately became anxious. They finally managed to find out where the King of Southwest was, but because of various things, they missed him again. It's no wonder they were in a hurry.

“I don't know about that, but I seemed to hear him talking with Wu Tiande on stage just now. They said they were going to launch a health tonic called 'Pei Yuan Bao Jian Wan' and a beauty product called 'Mei Rong Yang Yan Dan'. They definitely would clash with the Lu family, as the Lu family has a powerful top-tier family in Beijing backing them up. If they want 'Pei Yuan Bao Jian Wan' and 'Mei Rong Yang Yan Dan' to become bestsellers, they must replace the Lu family's market share. To bring down the Lu family, the best way is to overthrow their backer in Beijing, then dealing with the Lu family would be easy. He also told Wu Tiande to book him a flight immediately. I reckon Southwest King is already on his way to Beijing!”

Chen Pingan made up a story that the Southwest King had already flown to the Imperial City for both women. This way, they wouldn't bother him anymore. Perhaps these two naive women would fly to the Imperial City immediately. That way, he wouldn't have to worry about them discovering his identity for a while.

"Flying to the Imperial Capital?"

"Really assuming?"

Mu Wanting seemed a little disbelieving of Chen Ping'an's words, her face full of suspicion.

However, Qin Shiyu, who understood Lu's background, immediately believed Chen Ping'an's words and pulled Mu Wanting aside to help Chen Ping'an explain.
