Chapter 181: This years Glory is ours! (2/2)

He glanced at the drawer he’d just closed out of the corner of his eye, and the agreement covering his gamble appeared in his mind.

He wanted to show Wei Xiao, wanted to tell him everything, wanted him to know.

But, he couldn’t.

Winning the championship was already a difficult enough task.

The burden on Wei Xiao’s shoulders was already heavy enough. Would it crush him?

His Little Xiao was only 19 years old.

But he felt guilty for hiding it from Wei Xiao.

He’d made so many promises, yet he’d turned out to be a complete liar.

Wei Xiao wouldn’t let him avoid his gaze. “Tell me.”

Lu Feng could only look him in the eyes.

Wei Xiao had just been crying, and the tears that coated his black eyes made them even brighter, “Tell me all of it.”

Lu Feng’s thin lips trembled. “Sorry.”

Wei Xiao was anxious. “What are you apologizing for? I love you!”

These three words shot straight into Lu Feng’s chest.

Wei Xiao looked at him without blinking. “I love you, so I want to know everything about you. I want to share joy with you, and even more, I want to shoulder the pain with you. Could it be that you don’t feel the same?”

Lu Feng: “……”

“Could it be that you don’t…”

Lu Feng breathed in lightly. “I love you.”

Wei Xiao was a little shorter than him. He had to stand up on his tiptoes to kiss away his frown.

Wei Xiao kissed him decisively. His eyes were firm. “Tell me.”

Lu Feng looked at him.

Wei Xiao waited for him patiently.

Lu Feng wavered. “Come with me.”

Wei Xiao kept up with him and watched as he pulled open a drawer. He saw the lonely file placed inside.

Lu Feng’s fingers trembled as he handed the document over to Wei Xiao. “I’m sorry; I lied to you.”

I lied to you about accompanying you forever.

I lied to you about being able to stay with you forever.

I lied to you about giving you love, family, and a home.

In fact, he had nothing. He didn’t even have himself.

Wei Xiao bowed his head and looked at the document. He read it very slowly, going over every word very carefully.

The wording was very proper, the words official and rigid. This was an agreement that didn’t hold any human feelings.

In order to acquire FTW, Lu Feng had promised Qing Lei a lot of conditions that were difficult to achieve.

Triple the return on investment.

Extremely excessive profit distribution.

Shocking terms, one after another. If it was shown to any club management, they would all be struck dumb with awe.

However…

Lu Feng did it all.

There was only one condition left, and it was the most deadly one.

––Win the global team competition championship before the age of 22 or retire and return home to do Qing Lei’s bidding.

Did Qing Lei love Lu Feng?

No.

Then why did she give ‘a helping hand’?

On one hand, it was to gain revenge against Lu Mingze, and on the other hand, it was to control Lu Feng.

She and Lu Mingze couldn’t get a divorce in any case, and Lu Feng was Lu Mingze’s only successor. If she could control Lu Feng, then the ultimate fate of the grand business empire would still be in her hands.

Lu Feng sold himself when he signed this agreement.

Wei Xiao spent 20 minutes reading over the entire document.

Although Lu Feng didn’t look at it, it was imprinted on his heart, and he was very clear on what was written.

When Wei Xiao closed the document, Lu Feng’s heart beat violently in his chest.

He’d lied to him.

He’d really cheated Wei Xiao.

Wei Xiao trusted him so much, but he…

Wei Xiao raised his head, and there was no sorrow or disappointment in his eyes. On the contrary, they were shockingly bright. “So this means, we just have to win the championship!”

Wei Xiao clenched the document hard and spoke in a tight voice, “Your birthday is on December 24th. There’s only one global competition left before that.”

Lu Feng stilled for a moment. “Yes.”

Wei Xiao suddenly held his hand and said excitedly, “You’ll be free if we take down the championship!”

Lu Feng felt like he was in a trance. Wei Xiao’s eyes were filled with excitement and joy, and the words he spoke were like a hammer that broke open the heart he’d closed up tight.

Although Wei Xiao didn’t know much about operating a club, he knew that FTW had developed very well in recent years. The haters even flamed Lu Feng, saying that he might as well not play games and go be a businessman instead.

Wei Xiao pointed to the terms of the agreement. “This one, this one, and this one. You’ve done them all already, right?”

Lu Feng nodded.

Wei Xiao then asked, “Only the last one, the team competition championship is left?”

Lu Feng dropped his gaze. “Yes.”

Wei Xiao breathed lightly and hugged him. “That’s great, this agreement is great!”

Lu Feng was stunned.

Wei Xiao kissed him hard. “I didn’t understand wrong, right? This is a gambling contract!”

“If you can’t meet the terms in the contract, you’ll have to retire, go home, and do Qing Lei’s bidding.”

“If you achieve all the terms in the contract, then you can stop listening to her!”

A gambling contract.

No matter how harsh the terms were, they were binding to both parties.

Qing Lei had given Lu Feng very strict demands so that he wouldn’t be able to achieve his goal and would fall into her control.

But if Lu Feng managed to succeed and achieved them all, then he would be able to get rid of her completely!

If they could look at the problem from another perspective…

Hell was nothing but the scenery along the way to heaven.

Lu Feng understood what Wei Xiao meant.

It took him a long time to find his voice again, “But, the team competition championship…”

Wei Xiao’s eyes curved, and he twined their fingers together. “For The Win. This year’s Glory is ours!”

xiin: if you look at this novel from another perspective… without WX to lighten things up, some parts of Glory would stab me hard enough to leave me broken and bleeding to death…
