Chapter 201: The Lady Killer Is the Best Husband
With only seconds to go before the match, Zachary Leinster broke right through the huddle and scored a three pointer!
If it were anyone else, it would be difficult to score, let alone a three-pointer of high difficulty!
And those kids’ defense were a piece of cake for him.
It was as fast as lightning! All five boys were dumbfounded at once!
Uh...
Was he a superman?
"We were careless just now! Now we’re definitely not letting you get away with it!" The basketball team said.
"Come on."
Zachary Leinster didn’t hesitate and the match once again turned heated.
"Hey, isn’t that our school’s basketball team?
"Yeah, yeah, the basketball team’s top five players are here... uh? Who’s that man in the suit on the court? Oh my god, he is so handsome!"
Gradually, a crowd of girls had been drawn around the basketball court.
"Ahem..."
Yvonne Taylor hurriedly found an inconspicuous place to hide in.
Two fashionably dressed fan girls were staring at Zachary Leinster with crazy affection.
"Oh my goodness, isn’t that Mr. Leinster of the Leinster Group! So handsome!
"Yeah yeah yeah! Did you see that!
"I saw him, I saw him! I can’t believe he’s playing basketball so well in a suit! He is Prince Charming! I feel like his muscles are bursting out from under his shirt! I want to be that ball badly so that I can get slapped by him..."
Yvonne Taylor, "!!!!"
Now these girls... were so crazy and outspoken??!
Just for a moment, the five men played a set of coordinated moves after years of cooperation on the court. Finally, the ball was intercepted and snatched from Zachary Leinster!
"No, no, no, they’re going to score!
"No, let’s cheer for Mr. Leinster! Mr. Leinster, go for it!"
For a moment, the girl fans forgot exactly which side they were supposed to be on.
The match became more fierce. As the ball was about to go into the basket, Zachary Leinster took a block shot and sped towards the basket on his side with the ball!
"Clang - "
Slam dunk!
The girls gathering around the court screamed excitedly!
Cool!!!
The third ball didn’t take long to go into the basket as well.
The result of the match was 3 against 0.
Zachary Leinster got 3 scores and the five-man team got 0.
The five men, "..."
They were so upset and speechless.
Those students who supported them also booed.
"And they talk about training every day so that we can find the seats and take meals for them, and see what they turn out?
"That’s right. They must skip class to have a drink with the funds every day, right? They wore the outfits of Jordan brand but they can’t even beat an amateur wearing leather shoes!
"You-"
The five basketball players were instantly furious.
Amateur?
It was impossible that Zachary Leinster was an amateur!
He could even join NBA and they called him an amateur? They have the guts to try!
"Don’t forget our bet."
Before the five men could speak, they were interrupted by Zachary Leinster, who was dressed in a white shirt and black trousers. He looked calm only with his hair a little messy.
"And, no harassment of my wife in the future."
They didn’t make as much money as him, they didn’t study as well as him, and they didn’t look as good as him. Now even the basketball playing they were so proud of was defeated by Zachary Leinster. They now didn’t have the guts to gossip in the future.
Yvonne Taylor happened to walk over now.
With everyone watching, the gorgeous and beautiful woman walked up to Zachary Leinster.
This time, everyone held their breath! Pairs of eyes were fixed on them!
...
Yvonne looked at Zachary, somewhat accusingly.
She seemed to say, "Why are you so impulsive? You see, now we’re surrounded."
Zachary, however, didn’t think it was a big deal and glanced at her hand.
"Honey, don’t you prepare water for me? On TV drama, at such a moment, the heroine would buy water for the hero."
"I’ve already brought it," said Yvonne snappishly.
After saying that, she handed a bottle of mineral water to Zachary. She had just bought it at the convenience store.
The latter took the bottle, unscrewed the top and drank the water with his head up.
When the girls saw him drinking the water, they all screamed.
"Oh my god! He’s so gorgeous!!!
"Ahhhhh, I saw his Adam’s apple. It’s so big. I learned a man with an Adam’s apple
also has a big...
"Holy cats, you’re so sick! I like it though, hahaha..."
The girls were making dirty jokes unrestrainedly.
"I know they’re the business moguls, but why do they give me a feeling that they’re still a campus couple in passionate love with each other?
"Come on. Since when do the campus couples make us feel like that? There are only hot guys crying for money all day long or some super ugly creepy men in our college."
The boys got speechless.
What the girls said were too incisive for them to argue.
They couldn’t help wondering if they really leaved the girls such a bad impression.
In fact, what the girls said made sense.
The numbers of nice men was far less than that of the love rats who not only looked ugly but also cheated girls for their affections as well as money.
Therefore, the boys fell silent.
The girls all looked at Yvonne with admiration.
"Honey, let’s go.
"Let’s go."
Yvonne and Zachary ignored their junior schoolmates who were still in a state of
surprise.
Zachary put his arm around Yvonne’s shoulder while Yvonne was holding his suit jacket. One tall and one short, they left the campus in an intimate manner.
*
It was in the Rolls-Royce.
Mr. King was driving while Yvonne and Zachary were sitting in the back seat.
Both Yvonne and Zachary were beaming with pleasure.
What happened today made them feel like going back to the time they fell in love.
At that time, even though they were able to see each other in the campus, they had to hide their relationship in order to avoid arousing gossip.
Yet today, they were finally able to hold each other’s hands and walked in the sunshine under the admiring gaze of everyone.
In the back seat of the car, Zachary was holding Yvonne in his arms. "You’re so good at basketball. Is it because you played a lot of it before?"
Zachary said, "The elite schools in Arcus value sports. When I studied there, I was pretty good at sports. I could always win the local kids during sport games. Also, my parents asked me to learn equestrianism, wrestling, fencing and many other sport since childhood."
Yvonne hummed and said lightly, "What does that have to do with playing basketball? You must have played it a lot. Were there many girls watching you and giving you water back then?"
As Yvonne saw how crazy the girl were outside the basketball court today, she was sure how attractive Zachary was when he played basketball before.
There was even no need for her to guess, because she was also fascinated by him playing basketball.
As long as Yvonne thought how stunning Zachary was when she was just a junior high school student and hadn’t been loved by him, she got truly jealous.
However, what Zachary said next greatly surprised her.
"I’m never a fan of basketball. There were too many nymphomaniacs showing up at the basketball court, so I stopped playing basket since I grew up a little."
After saying that, Zachary, whose nice-looking face was like being carved, turned to look at Yvonne.
"Today, it’s my first time playing it, for you."
He did it for showing those brats that they were not good enough to covet his wife.
When Yvonne met Zachary’s affectionate gaze, she felt like her heart being immersed into a pool of spring water, so she immediately put her arms tightly
around his waist.
"Honey, I love you."
...
The next day, the news that Zachary "Fought with Five Men at Zandia University" and "Played Basketball in a Suit to Win His Wife’s Heart" became the trending discussion of the celebrity gossips on various social media.
Many students witnessed the scene at the basketball court that day.
Thus, on Instagram, numerous people forwarded the photos of Zachary captured when he was on court. In the photos, he looked sexy and virile wearing a suit.
As soon as these photos were posted, the netizens got crazy.
"Oh, my. I can’t believe he looks so gorgeous even in real pictures. A man like Zachary Leinster is so stunning!"
"When I read romance novels, I couldn’t imagine how handsome a man could be when he played basketball. But now these photos make me get the point. A man is handsome not because he’s playing basketball but because he himself is handsome! Watching a cute guy playing basketball is the best thing ever!"
This time, since the news of Zachary playing basketball for Yvonne because of love was positive and real, the Leinster Group didn’t try to prevent it being spread.
To Zachary’s surprise, the way he protected his wife helped him continually gain the affections of many new fans.
The videos of him playing basketball were even aired on TV news.
For ordinary people, Zachary was a celebrity who only appeared in the news.
In their minds, theoretically, such a man should be domineering and impersonal.
Therefore, when the news of Zachary, the "lady killer", "spoiling his wife" was reported, the ordinary people were touched by him exuding "positive energy with healing function". They were happy to see his news being reported by all major media, which also explained why even the TV was airing the sweet moments of him and Yvonne.
The impact was so great that it both directly and indirectly caused rising of the Leinster Group’s share prices at stock markets.
This time, it was a no-lose deal.

On the other side of the earth.
At another time zone and in another country.
It was in a deathly chaotic mental hospital.
Yeliz Raven was eating with a spoon in a psychiatric suit. Her limbs were not as coordinated as they used to be due to the numbness for a long time, so most of the food fell on the table and some was all over her face.
Just then, she heard someone was speaking Angrish on TV.
"Recently, a video of a well- known economist and entrepreneur, Zachary Leinster, the chairman as well as the general manager of the Leinster Group, playing basketball at a well-known university has fallen under the spotlight online..."
Hearing the name of Zachary Leinster, Yeliz, with disheveled hair and food all over her face, jerked her head up like a corpse coming to life.
She had been locked up here for over three years.
In the past three year, she had been suffering from inhuman treatment.
The people around her were real lunatics.
Yeliz couldn’t withstand the psychological torture, so day after day, she, a sensible woman, gradually got insane.
She stared blankly at the TV.
On the TV, the hostess was speaking with a smile on her face, and then, the scene was cut to the video of Zachary playing basketball.
The spoon dropped from Yeliz’s hand while she fixed her eyes on the screen.
"He... he is..."
It was the first time she had seen him in three years.
All of sudden, she started screaming like crazy with an unpleasant sound coming out of her throat.
The caretaker saw her making the food all over the floor, so he raised his hand and slapped her.
"Stop screaming and eat your food!"
"I, I... He’s my husband... I, I’m Mrs. Leinster! You, you hit me!"
Yeliz said brokenly while hissing, howling and laughing.
Several schizophrenics next to her were also disturbed by her noise and all got crazy out of control.
"Shut up! I’ll teach you a lesson. You horrible woman!"
