âWho did this?â He reached out and touched the spot on her head that was missing a wisp of hair.
She pried his hand away and combed her hair with her bare hands in an attempt to make it neater. âItâs nothing. It was my own doing.â
âYour own doing?â
The sound of hurried footsteps from outside reached their ears. Soon, several doctors walked into the hall with medical kits in their hands.
âSecond Young Master, Second Young Madam.â They respectfully greeted the couple before rushing toward Lin Jingxuan, who was groaning in pain.
Meanwhile, Gu Feirou, who had been forcefully taken down by the servants, had the scissors pried off her.
âHas he laid his hands on you again?
Ye Erruo pouted. âYes.â
âHah!â Mo Jiangye tugged his lips into a cold sneer.
Beside them were the doctors and the servants, who were carrying Lin Jingxuan and anxiously heading for the door. The hall was in a completely chaotic state.
Thump! A doctor stumbled to the ground. He had been kicked by the man while walking past him.
Lin Jingxuanâs body went crashing to the floor as well.
âAre you okay, Brother Jingxuan?â
âGet lost!â Mo Jiangye growled dangerously.
The woman kneeling beside her fiancé guarded him against the man and prevented him from moving forward any further.
âYou!â She was kicked aside by him.
He has repeatedly gotten close to my woman with the intention of harming her! If I had gotten my way, he would have died 10,000 times already!
âS-Second Young Master,â stammered a doctor fearfully as he retreated to the side.
Cough, cough... The pain Lin Jingxuan felt caused him to see stars.
âAHH!â He suddenly started screaming in agony.
It turned out that the other man was stepping on his wound. His face instantly lost its color, and his breathing became increasingly more erratic and difficult.
âHow many times has it been now?â Mo Jiangyeâs eyes were filled with bloodlust and viciousness as he crushed his arch-enemyâs chest with a foot. No one dared to step forward and stop him while he did so.
âXiao Ye!â
With the help of his butler, Old Master Lin walked into the hall, only to turn pale with fright when he witnessed this scene.
As though he had heard nothing, Mo Jiangye lifted his foot and aimed a kick at Lin Jingxuan. Gu Feirou immediately threw herself forward and hugged his leg in a bid to stop him but ended up getting kicked away along with her fiancé.
Splat! Fresh red blood came spurting out of Lin Jingxuanâs mouth, and his chest injury split even further. The continual blood loss of his wound had him eventually passing out.
Likewise, Gu Feirouâs mind went blank as she experienced a blackout.
All of a sudden, Mo Jiangye picked up the flower stand beside him and, like a demon from hell, took two menacing steps forward. He was just about to take action when Old Master Lin hastily came rushing over to him.
âXiao Ye, donât.â
His gaze glowed red and chilly, as though he had lost all control of his rationality. He had heard none of the words that the elderly man had said.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âXiao Ruo.â In his urgency, the old man could only turn to Ye Erruo for help.
She swiftly stepped forward. âMo Jiangye.â
âAre you intending to spare him?â
His voice boomed loudly in a bellow. It was the first time he had flared up at her like that.
Feeling completely dazed, she instinctively answered, âNo.â
Gu Feirou was beside Lin Jingxuan. If he flung that flower stand at him, both he and his fiancée would get injured by it.
One could not underestimate her current status. Should she experience a mishap, the Blue Tower would never let the matter drop. Most importantly, his grandfather was standing just a short distance away from the couple. He might very well get injured as well if he threw the flower stand over.
âDonât act rashly, Xiao Ye,â said Old Master Lin anxiously.
âRashly?â he scoffed. âHe has touched my woman time and again. If not for your sake, why do you think he is still alive?â Every word that was spoken sounded piercingly cold.
The elderly man furrowed his brows tightly. âIâll kick him out of the house, so heâll never be able to see Xiao Ruo again. Please, just let him off for the last time.â
