Chapter 1043: Dumbstruck? Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 “Ruoxi…” After the winner was announced, Sun Xuezhen briefly looked astonished. This was a strenuous fight. If it weren’t for Qin Ruoxi giving her some leeway every now and then, she would’ve been defeated long ago… Sun Xuezhen originally thought Qin Ruoxi merely didn’t want her loss to look as bad, but she didn’t expect Qin Ruoxi to straight up yield the victory to her. “Younger Sister Xuezhen is truly outstanding. I was no match. Congratulations to Younger Sister Xuezhen for winning on behalf of the Sun family,” Qin Ruoxi told Sun Xuezhen with a smile. When Sun Xuezhen heard that, she merely smiled and said, “Ruoxi, you’re very strong. I greatly respect you.” After saying that, Sun Xuezhen nonchalantly glanced at Ye Wanwan with disgust in her eyes. “Referee, is the representative of the Si family really not required to compete?” Sun Xuezhen asked the referee team, evidently unable to repress her indignation. An elderly referee stood up and looked at Ye Wanwan as he probed, “Miss Ye, you’re representing the Si family today. Please go on stage and compete with the representative of the Sun family.” “You must compete since you’re the representative of the Si family. This is the rule,” the elderly referee added with more force behind his words. This time, Ye Wanwan didn’t hold back and stood up. “Alright.” Since the referee said this was the rule, she had to obey the rules. Upon seeing that Ye Wanwan was finally agreeing to fight, Qin Ruoxi’s lips turned up into an inexplicably cold smile. On stage, Sun Xuezhen watched as Ye Wanwan slowly walked toward her and said, “Don’t worry… I’ll make sure you have an unforgettable fight.” “Okay.” Ye Wanwan nodded indifferently. The guards of the Si family were somewhat worried though. Although Ye Wanwan wouldn’t be beaten to death after the match started, she would definitely be half-beaten to death. They humiliated themselves enough already. If Ye Wanwan couldn’t retaliate against Sun Xuezhen in the slightest and got half beaten to death… wouldn’t they be further humiliated… Soon, Ye Wanwan was on stage, completely ignoring the mocking gazes surrounding her. “The match begins!” the referee team quickly announced. Simultaneously, Sun Xuezhen stepped forward, charging toward Ye Wanwan. However, Ye Wanwan stayed rooted in her spot as though she didn’t see Sun Xuezhen. “Hahaha, is the representative of the Si family dumbstruck?” “She probably can’t react in time. After all, she’s nothing but a normal woman.” The audience fervently gossiped amongst themselves. At that moment, Ye Wanwan suddenly waved her hand. “Referee, I forfeit.” When Sun Xuezhen heard her, she instantly froze. Her hand was still hanging in the air but it didn’t land. What was going on? Ye Wanwan, the representative of the Si family, walked on stage… and then promptly forfeited?! “This…” The referee team found themselves in a difficult situation. She admitted defeat without a single move—what was this??? They had never encountered this type of situation before… Qin Ruoxi’s brows furrowed slightly at Ye Wanwan’s words. “Hahaha… don’t torment the poor miss! She’s used to living a pampered lifestyle in an extravagant mansion, so what could she know about this? It would be bad if Sister Xuezhen hurt her…” “That’s right. Free will is important. Since Miss Ye is merely the Si family representative, she isn’t required to compete on the stage.”
