Yan Su blinked. She was so appalled it took her a while to process Mo Liuxiâs words.
âYouâre not thinking Shi Xiang was helping me to...â
âWell, wasnât he?â Mo Liuxi interrupted, his chest heaving. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Yan Suâs rage exploded. She swung her handbag with all her might and hit Mo Liuxi in the face.
âHow dare you!â Mo Liuxi wasnât expecting her to attack him. After suffering a few hits on the face, he grabbed her wrists to restrain her. âYan Su, donât think I wouldnât hesitate to...â
âTo what? What do you want to do to me, huh? You disgusting man,â she sputtered. Never had she been so angry at someone. Every time she looked at him, it felt as if the violence buried deep in her heart was rising to the surface. âDid you see Shi Xiang and me doing that? I didnât even unzip my dress. Do you see any folds?â
Completely dumbfounded, Mo Liuxi dropped his gaze to the floor, surprised to hear her scolding him. He carefully looked at her chest. Her dress, which had a tight, high neck, looked immaculate. It didnât seem to have been unzipped.
âWhat were you two doing in that corner then?â
âI wanted to use the bathroom, but I didnât have any issues, so I asked him if he had any, âYan Su said through clenched teeth.
Mo Liuxi blinked. âThen why were you hiding in the corner if you were only asking him for a tissue?â
âI didnât want anyone to see us. Didnât you say the reporters were sniffing around for dirt on Shi Xiang and me?â Yan Su was so mad she started laughing. âYouâre a director. You have such a great imagination. You convicted me without a shred of evidence.â
Mo Liuxi rubbed his nose, feeling a little awkward. Yeah, well, maybe I did misunderstand her. Yeah, well, maybe my behavior was over the top.
With a sad sile, Yan Su continued talking, âOr, Iâm probably a foul woman in your eyesââdirty,â as youâve often said.â
Mo Liuxi stood there, still staring at the floor.
He wasnât happy to feel the disappointment in her eyes. âThatâs... not what I meant. I was just worried you might ask Shi Xiangâs help if you felt too uncomfortable.â
âEven if I did, thatâs none of your business. May I remind you that our relationship is done. Over. Finito,â Yan Su snapped.
Mo Liuxi felt very embarrassed. She was right. But his heart just went crazy whenever he was around her. âWe broke up, but so what? Which rule said a man couldnât take care of his ex-girlfriend? Which law says that? Which specific law says that huh? Tell me.â
Yan Suâs heart lurched up in her throat and out of her mouth, yet she managed to keep her calm. âYou sound unreasonable. Iâm not a law student. How am I supposed to know? A lawyer would be able to answer that question for you,â she said, knowing how lame she sounded.
âIâm sorry, thereâs no lawyer here.â Mo Liuxi took a step forward, put his hands on the wall, and trapped Yan Su between his arms. âWeâre alone now,â his voice was dry and deep. The sealed room added to the slightly seductive atmosphere.
Being shrouded in the light aroma coming from Mo Liuxiâs body, Yan Su was dazed a little. She raised her head and looked deep into his eyes. She felt trapped between his arms, her heart racing.
âIâm done talking to you. Iâm leaving.â She pushed his chest hard but failed to push him away. âMo Liuxi...â
âYou didnât come out to use the bathroom. Youâre going to milk, arenât you?â Mo Liuxi said.
âCan you stop thinking about that?â Yan Su felt both embarrassed and irritated.
âYou didnât even dare to drink any water,â Mo Liuxi continued.
âYouâre right. So what? Whatâs that got to do with you?â Yan Su had reached the limits of her endurance.
âIt has everything to do with me. Youâre not allowed to ask Shi Xiang for help. So I decided to help you myself.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
