Xiao Yunyun had thought that Young Master Zhong was an aggressive man. However, she saw the fear in his pupils at that moment.
He looked like a sheep in the pen suddenly noticing a ferocious wolf from the grassland.
Xiao Yunyun wondered, âWhat is making Mr. Zhong cower?â
She looked over and saw the tall Shen Yuechuan striding at a rapid pace toward them.
Shen Yuechuan drew Xiao Yunyunâs attention in an instant.
It surprised Xiao Yunyun that Shen Yuechuan showed up, and the expression on his face at that moment surprised her even more.
In her eyes, Shen Yuechuan had always stayed calm with a smile even when faced with his enemies, which had made it hard for those who didnât know him well to tell whether he was fearless or he was hiding his fear.
However, she could only see his wrath on his gloomy face, not even trying to feign a smile at that moment.
He looked like an angry lion that had been awakened from a deep sleep. It seemed that there was a coming storm that could destroy the entire world in his dark eyes.
Shen Yuechuan had usually looked handsome and suave but never ferocious.
However, the way Shen Yuechuan looked at the moment could only make others think of fierceness instead of the one he used to be.
Xiao Yunyun felt scared since she had never seen him like that, while Young Master Zhongâs legs had nearly gone limp because he knew Shen Yuechuan better than her.
It was known to all that Shen Yuechuan was like Lu Boyanâs spokesman; his words had the same weight as Lu Boyanâs in the company.
Many people preferred to talk business with Shen Yuechuan because they thought him to be easygoing.
However, only after talking with him did they find that Shen Yuechuan was a strong-minded man who could never be easily persuaded, although he was also an easygoing man who always kept smiling.
Beyond their expectations, Shen Yuechuan was as formidable as Lu Boyan.
They would give up discussing cooperation with Lu Boyan whenever they noticed his displeasure.
Because they knew that they would end up losing once they angered Lu Boyan, even if they reached a deal.
By contrast, Shen Yuechuanâs smile was more like a cover that could not only perfectly hide his real feelings but also give others a false impression that he was very happy, which could make them suffer a lot without a warning.
It was the first time Young Master Zhong had seen Shen Yuechuanâs naked anger on his face, ever since he met him five years before.
Young Master Zhongâs fear of Shen Yuechuan sobered him up. He could only think to himself, âI found his Achillesâ heel. He cares about Xiao Yunyun! Donât be afraid!â
âZhong Lue, let her go!â There came Shen Yuechuanâs angry voice, although he was still far away from them.
Young Master Zhong grabbed Xiao Yunyunâs hands as if holding a life-saving straw. âWhat if I donât?â
Xiao Yunyun felt pain in her wrists. She frowned and stepped hard on Young Master Zhongâs toe with her heel.
âOwââ Young Master Zhong let out a cry and unconsciously released Xiao Yunyun because of the pain in his toe. Xiao Yunyun took a few steps back and finally got rid of him, then she cast a disdainful look at him.
âCome here!â said Shen Yuechuan with a less murderous look.
Xiao Yunyun replied âohâ and ran behind Shen Yuechuan obediently, because she needed to rely on him, not to argue with him at that moment.
Shen Yuechuan approached them with a more relaxed look and steps; however, they could still feel a sense of oppression.
Zhong Lue stepped backward unconsciously, but his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. In the end, Shen Yuechuan grabbed a hold of his collar.
Shen Yuechuan slowly asked, âZhong Lue, you must have a death wish, donât you?â
Zhong Lue stared at Shen Yuechuan in horror, although he hated himself for fearing him.
He thought that he shouldnât have feared Shen Yuechuan because he came from a well-known family.
âShen Yuechuan, how dare you say that to me? It is you who must have a death wish!â Zhong Lue managed to say that and looked into Shen Yuechuanâs eyes with all his courage.
Shen Yuechuan sneered as if he had heard a ridiculous joke.
That was what Zhong Lue had long hated. He hated that Shen Yuechuan had always looked confident, as if he would succeed as long as he wanted, although he had no one to depend on.
He particularly hated that Shen Yuechuanâs inborn confidence had fascinated some girls who kept saying that he was more than handsome.
He thought to himself, âXiao Yunyun must be obsessed with Shen Yuechuanâs feigned confidence!â
With that, Zhong Lue became angrier. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed toward Shen Yuechuan. âI want to teach you a lesson just now! You asked for it!â
Zhong Lueâs fierce offensive shocked Xiao Yunyun. She pulled Shen Yuechuanâs sleeve and said, âBe careful.â She didnât want Shen Yuechuan to be hurt because the mindless Zhong Lue looked strong.
Shen Yuechuan turned his head and looked at Xiao Yunyun with a smile. âYou care about me, donât you? You canât deny it this time.â
Xiao Yunyun looked up at the ceiling, not knowing what to say.
She wondered, âWhy is he in the mood to ask if I care about him at this moment?â
âWell, I must admit I do care about him.â
âWatch out!â screamed Xiao Yunyun when she found that Zhong Lue was about to punch Shen Yuechuan in the face.
Shen Yuechuan had already noticed Zhong Lueâs fist. Seeing Xiao Yunyunâs anxious face, he smiled and dodged with her in his arms. Then he pressed her shoulders and said, âStay here.â
Shen Yuechuan grabbed Zhong Lueâs wrist before the punch landed, just as he finished speaking. âAh!â shouted Zhong Lue as his offensive slacked off.
âZhong Lue, arenât you good at fighting?â said Shen Yuechuan with a sneer.
As expected, Zhong Lue couldnât stand that kind of provocation.
âI need to teach people like you a lesson!â Zhong Lue rushed toward him. âShen Yuechuan, I wish you hadnât provoked me!â
Shen Yuechuan gave him a cold smile. âWhat a coincidence. Listen, Iâm not the person who can be offended!â
With that, the two red-blooded young men began to punch and kick each other.
Zhong Lue, who was full of brute strength, attacked Shen Yuechuan like crazy, as if he were determined to kill his sworn enemy.
Shen Yuechuan was punched in the belly as he was wondering, âI know that Zhong Lue has practiced Sanda. But why is this mindless brute so strong?â
âF*ck!â
âIt really hurts.â
Shen Yuechuan frowned subconsciously.
Xiao Yunyun noticed that and yelled with anxiety, âShen Yuechuan!â
Only then did Shen Yuechuan realize that the girl he loved was watching them. He thought to himself, âShe will look down upon me if I lose to a strong but mindless guy, and she will think that Iâm weak.â
âIâm not going to lose!â
Zhong Lue thought that he had gained the upper hand. He smiled triumphantly and rushed toward Shen Yuechuan with his fists again.
Shen Yuechuan dodged Zhong Lueâs foot after relaxing his wrists and punched him back with lightning speed.
Xiao Yunyun could tell that Shen Yuechuan didnât punch with all his strength from his relaxed face and movements.
However, Zhong Lue let out a husky groan after a punch that had almost distorted his face.
âShen Yuechuan!â Zhong Lue glared at Shen Yuechuan in disbelief. âDo you know who I am?â It didnât surprise him that Shen Yuechuan dared to fight with him because he knew that Lu Boyan had his back.
However, Zhong Lue had never expected that Shen Yuechuan would hit him that hard since Shen Yuechuanâs behavior would not only infuriate the Zhong Family but also harm the cooperation between them and Lu Enterprises.
Lu Enterprises would suffer a loss if a business partner like the Zhong Family was lost, since Lu Boyan didnât have absolute power, although he was honored in the business circles.
With that, Zhong Lue shouted, âShen Yuechuan, believe it or not, Lu Enterprises will fire you right now as long as I ask them to!â
Shen Yuechuan shrugged indifferently. âIâll teach you a lesson before that!â
With that, Shen Yuechuan became more fearless and kept punching Zhong Lue in his vulnerable parts intentionally.
Zhong Lue managed to bear those punches in the beginning. However, he ended up in howls as he couldnât keep up with Shen Yuechuanâs agility and speed.
In the end, Xiao Yunyun rushed over to pull Shen Yuechuan away. âStop. You could kill him.â
Shen Yuechuan cast a cold look at Zhong Lue. âHe should be thankful that he didnât get to touch you.â
Zhong Lue couldnât reconcile himself to failure, and those words made him even angrier. At that very moment, a hotel waiter passed by with a delicate fruit knife on the tray while he was on his way to serve the guests upstairs.
Zhong Lue suddenly grabbed the fruit knife and rushed toward Shen Yuechuan; a murderous look flashed across his scarlet eyes.
Xiao Yunyun subconsciously opened her arms and stood in front of Shen Yuechuan. âWatch out!â
âXiao Yunyun, you silly girl!â
Shen Yuechuan thought he could have stopped Zhong Lue, but he didnât expect that Xiao Yunyun would suddenly rush forward to protect him, making things worse for him.
Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun and dodged without thinking before Zhong Lue could stab her with the knife. However, he failed to dodge the knife himself, and blood welled from the gash in his hand as a result.
Xiao Yunyun panicked when she stared at Shen Yuechuanâs wound.
She had witnessed scenes a hundred times bloodier than that when she worked shifts in the emergency room and as an assistant in the operating room.
However, it was the first time she was clueless about what to do when faced with a wounded person.
