How come no woman squealed over Xuan Mu? Firstly, it was easy for him to conceal his presence.

Secondly, he was taken. What stupid woman would go against someone like Bing Shi?

Only a woman asking for death. See Mia? The beauty trap wouldn’t work on him.

The same went for Bing Shi.

Both of them became a couple that should never be provoked.

Bing Shi with a few middle-aged women, walked towards the private lounge far away from the ballroom. On their way, the women spoke about their kids; she listened with interest.

.....

“My son, Zhu Cai, is having his 29th birthday soon,” a mature woman in a golden chipao spoke to her friends, “And he is still single!”

‘Zhu Cai, The new C.E.O. of the largest telecommunication provider in the country? One of a few people who got Xuan Mu’s recognition, hm... he has to be something.’

A mysterious man in a blue navy suit, was on his way to the business meeting, hearing his mother’s voice, he stopped at his steps. Compared to Xuan Mu, their height was about the same; Xuan Mu was like a young dark lord with a devilish look while this man had sharp mature features. His expression? There was none.

“Are you going to throw a birthday party for him?” a friend asked.

All of them walked inside the luxurious lounge with comfortable sofas and coffee tables.

The madam in a gold chipao looked at Bing Shi, “He attends parties as often as Xuan Mu. What do you gift a young man who has everything?”

“We just say happy birthday to each other, no gifting,” Bing Shi said truthfully.

“Isn’t it a special day?”

Bing Shi answered with a chuckle, “I don’t want to treat him differently only because it’s his birthday, wouldn’t it make other days less special?” They tried to make those days special, but it turned out that those days were the same as other days.

Noticing the man who looked at Bing Shi strangely, his mother called out for him, “Zhu Cai, you are here?!” She introduced him to Bing Shi, “Bing Shi this is my son Zhu Cai. You never got a chance to meet each other right? ”

“Yes, this is our first time meeting,” Bing Shi’s eyes lit up in worship, “Thank you for providing us with your services.”

‘Thanks to him and his father I got a chance to meet Xuan Mu via the internet, didn’t I? Better be grateful.’

Lifting his gaze towards his mother, he asked for Bing Shi’s identity. Never was he interested in women nor men – especially not those pampered spoiled girls. Bing Shi looked exactly like that, someone who knew no hardship, a happy girl without a worry in the world.

“She is Wu Bing Shi,” Zhu Cai’s mother rolled her eyes at her son’s unresponsiveness, “Xuan Mu’s girlfriend.” Finally, she could see a surprised expression on that cold, handsome face.

Zhu Cai, studying her features, saw nothing special about her. At least he should give some respect to Xuan Mu’s woman. Due to his mysophobia, he offered his hand for a handshake reluctantly, “Zhu Cai.”

Bing Shi accepted his handshake with a smile, “Bing Shi.”

When their hands touched, Zhu Cai’s limbs froze; a whole electric currency shot through his body. Rooted at the spot, hearing his loud heartbeat, without warning, before he could say no, something was taken from him. He gripped Bing Shi’s hand, unconsciously, “...”

‘Xuan Mu’

‘This man doesn’t want to let go of your beautiful hand.’

‘I want to break his arm.’

‘But what do I do?’n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

‘Violence is bad.’

‘This delicate lady was just joking.’

‘I can’t imagine myself breaking someone’s arm...hah... seriously... if he doesn’t let go, I’ll puke on him.’

‘Is he an enemy or an ally?’

With a green face, Bing Shi tried to pull her hand away, but the more she tried, the stronger his grip was.

‘Enemy. Alert.’

Changing her tactics, Bing Shi tried to scare him away, turning her head towards his mother, saying, “Madam.” She pointed at her hand, “Xuan Mu... is going to be angry.” When she called Xuan Mu’s name, her hand was almost crushed by his grip. She hissed in pain.

‘?...’

Seeing her son’s strange behavior, his mother raised her voice in panic, “Zhu Cai let go of her, immediately!”

Zhu Cai, whose heart was still beating frantically, woke up from his trance and retreated his hand. As soon as he let go, Bing Shi distanced herself and ran towards the group of women.

Everyone examined her hand. “Bing Shi... Your hand!” Everyone gasped, the sight shocked them senseless. Small red dots appeared on Bing Shi’s slender fingers. With his strong grip...he... burst her blood vessels?!

“We need to call a doctor!”

‘R.I.P.’

In a hurry, Bing Shi took out her phone from a purse and dialed a number, “Get in here, fast.” Then, taking out her wet tissues, she started to clean her bruised hand. Zhu Cai was forgotten as soon as she was in safety, now, her thoughts were full of Xuan Mu and how to resolve the upcoming scene.

Xuan Mu, who was listening to the conversation through the earbud, stood up abruptly and rushed out of the conference room with madness in his eyes.

“Where are you going?” The men followed after him, but his speed was inhuman!

‘Better resolve it as soon as possible.’

Bing Shi walked towards the entrance and spoke to Zhu Cai’s mother, whose face was as white as a sheet, “Madam Zhu, can you accompany me to the infirmary?”

“What about my son?” Mrs. Zhu didn’t want to leave her son; his behavior was too strange, at the same time, she was worried about Bing Shi’s hand.

“Too late,” uttered Bing Shi, when Xuan Mu appeared before her, “I hope your son knows some self-defense.”
