The male protagonist is a black heart lotus

Chapter 3

Zhong Huo was stunned for a moment, staring at her for a while, then unconsciously shifted her gaze to Zhang Meng’s chest.

Seeing Zhang Meng’s somewhat flat chest, she frowned and said, “Don’t wrap those things in the future, it’s not good for your body.”

Zhang Meng had been paying attention to Zhong Huo’s gaze. Seeing her gaze linger on her chest and thinking of Jin Yue’s words, Zhang Meng wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.

“Yes, I won’t wrap them in the future.” Zhang Meng nodded haphazardly.

Zhong Huo said stiffly, “That’s good then.” With that, she stood up, turned around, and left.

Zhang Meng put her hands on her face and rubbed it.

Although they were both women, why did she feel so awkward?

Xu Residence.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the orange lanterns swayed slightly in the wind.

Under the cool pavilion, Xu Lu Cha had black hair and green clothes, skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth. He held a jade flute to his lips with his slender fingers, and a melodious flute sound rang out.

Everyone said that the third young master of the Xu family was as beautiful as a flower and had a good background, which made many people envious. However, no one knew that Xu Lu Cha was just an existence seen as a stain.

His father was originally a young prostitute in a brothel, named Gong Mi. Xu Hong, the head of the Xu family, had relations with Gong Mi during a drunken night and got pregnant. Xu Hong deeply loved her husband, and her husband never forgave her for this matter. Xu Hong was deeply remorseful. After giving birth to Xu Lu Cha, she threw Xu Lu Cha back to Gong Mi and told them to get out of Yun City.

However, Gong Mi was an ambitious person and did not leave Yun City. He often brought Xu Lu Cha to the Xu Residence to demand money. If they didn’t give it, he would spread the matter of Xu Hong mixing with a young prostitute from a brothel, ruining Xu Hong’s reputation.

This situation continued until Xu Lu Cha was nine years old. Xu Hong finally couldn’t bear Gong Mi’s endless entanglement and schemed to have someone poison Gong Mi to death.

However, Xu Lu Cha was always born from Xu Hong’s ten months of pregnancy. She couldn’t bear for Xu Lu Cha to have no one to take care of him, so she brought him back to the Xu Residence.

But Xu Hong didn’t expect that Xu Lu Cha, who appeared dazzling on the surface, was actually covered in whip wounds, stick wounds, and burn marks all over his body.

Even though Xu Hong abandoned her prejudice and wholeheartedly raised and cared for him, Xu Lu Cha’s gloomy temperament could no longer be changed. His temperament was the same as his father’s – selfish, ambitious, unscrupulous, and even more adept at disguise.

Zi Yi stood to the side, lowering his head to organize the chessboard.

The song was over, and Zi Yi raised his head.

“Young Master, what are you thinking about? It’s been a long time since I’ve heard you play the flute.”

Xu Lu Cha put away the jade flute and said with a curled lip, “It’s been seven years since Father passed away. Apart from leaving me a jade pendant, he left nothing.”

Xu Lu Cha opened his jade-like white palm, and a jade pendant as green as dripping water lay quietly on it.

“It’s ironic that someone like him would personally carve a jade pendant for me.”
