BXBX NOVEL Chapter 194 Rage

CHAPTER 194
To Xie Tian's surprise, Liu Xueyi moved first as he grabbed Andromeda's right wrist and pulled her to his side.
Andromeda and Xiao Xin were not left out of the shock as they all directed their shock-filled eyes at Liu Xueyi.
Xiao Xin still found it hard to see her brother acting in such a manner over a girl.
He was usually calm and collected when in a relationship but since he got involved with Andromeda not only did he wear his emotions on his face, he was more possessive.
Letting out a soft sigh, she diverted her attention from him and gazed at Xie Tian only to see the boiling rage waiting to erupt in his eyes.
"Liu Xueyi," he called out through gritted teeth.
"Yes, that's me," Liu Xueyi affirmed without any ounce of fear or remorse.
"She's with me. Respect that fact," Xie Tian cautioned.
"Not anymore. She is with me now," Liu Xueyi corrected.
His lips pulled to the side, revealing a set of teeth as while letting the smirk illuminate his resolve.
He had no plans on letting Andromeda go. And more importantly, he meant every word he had said to Xie Tian before.
He planned on fighting for her love and neither he nor anyone would be able to stop him.
Narrowing his gaze at where Liu Xueyi's hand was locked with Andromeda's Xie Tian tsked at him before speaking, "You are impossible, you know that?" Xie Tian stated firmly.
"She enjoys it and she doesn't think so."
"Is that true, Andy?"
0_0
"Andy?" Both Liu Xueyi and Liu Xiao Xin questioned at the same time.
"Oh, what? You do not think she and I only met now?" Xie Tian twisted his lips a bit, reeling out a triumphant smile as he placed both hands in his pocket and took a domineering stance before Liu Xueyi.
From the way a dark glint flashed in Liu Xueyi's eyes and the manner in which he shot Andromeda a questioning glare, Xie Tian knew he had not known that.
"Do not call her Andy anymore. Only I can."
"You can't. She is here. Let her speak for herself."
"I can speak for her," Liu Xueyi half yelled, pulling Andromeda's hand back a bit, shielding her from Xie Tian.
Xie Tian released a deep breath while tilting his head to the side he asked, "Really?"
"Yes."
"Fine. Andy please, answer. You are no kid. I won't appreciate him treating you in such a manner."
Knowing the kind of lady, he fell in love with, Liu Xueyi hesitated in asking Andromeda that question because he knew that to her all of this was nothing more than a fake and to make matters worse, she had kissed Xie Tian before.
All of these critical points made him doubt the answer she would choose and in turn, he could only try to fight himself.
"Andy," Xie Tian called out again and this time in a more calming manner, deliberately pissing Liu Xueyi off.
"Umm…"
"There is nothing for her to say. Do not manipulate her," Liu Xueyi interjected quickly.
"Brother," Xiao Xin chipped in. She could tell things were starting to get out of hand.
"I am not manipulating her. However," he took a step forward. "If there is anyone manipulating anyone here, then it is you. I have been calling her that name for the past 9 years now. She just met you. Who are you to barge in and tell me what to do and not to do?"
Those words had hit Liu Xueyi deeper than Andromeda could think of.
When he first placed a call through to her and she made note that only a selected few referred to her as such, he felt a bit jealous but happy, thinking it was her parents.
Now that he knew one of the selected few she kissed, it made him feel like he was contending so much with another man for her heart and he may not stand a chance.
Nevertheless, he shone those negative thoughts to the back of his mind.
He was going to have time to deal with them later but for now, what and who mattered most to him was Andromeda.
"She is my girlfriend and I am her boyfriend."
As if to prove his point, Liu Xueyi pulled her by the hand, bringing her body closer to his as he wrapped his left hand around her waist and brought his face closer to hers.
Everything had happened so fast for Andromeda who was caught in the middle of their fight.
All she wanted to do was hail a cab and go home. It was completely useless being a part of this.
However, while those thoughts crossed her mind, Liu Xueyi had other plans for her.
Andromeda watched with unblinking eyes as Liu Xueyi brought his lips closer to hers, itching for a kiss.
While that was easily something she would do, she was not in the mood.
She already had too much on her plate. She had come racing to relieve stress. But here she was, she had been thrown into the very pool of one that tugged at her heartstrings.
The guy she once loved and the guy she was currently in love with.
While it warmed her heart to see them vy for her, she felt the least bit interested and the more she heard them argue, the sicker she felt.
Just when Liu Xueyi's lips were about an inch away from hers, she turned her head to the side, avoiding his kiss to the shock of Xiao Xin and Xueyi.
Taking hold of his opportunity, Xie Tian decided to butt in again and stepped forward as he latched his hands around Andromeda's free wrist and pulled her away from Xueyi.
Getting himself quick, Liu Xueyi grabbed her other wrist again, refusing to let go.
Her eyes narrowed a bit with her brows knitting together as she averted her gaze from one muscularly charming CEO to the other.
"Seriously?"
"Andy, tell him," Xie Tian pushed forward.
"No. You do not need to prove anything," Liu Xueyi chipped in.
At this point, Liu Xiao Xin could not believe how clueless and shameless both men could become.
Seeing as the fight was becoming something she could not control, Andromeda welcomed the rage that was boiling deep within, ignoring how hard her chest expanded and contracted with each deep breath.
"Andromeda."
"Andy."
"Stop calling her that."
"I can if I want."
"I said you can't."
"Andy."
"Andy."
Her brain kept on churning from the endless argument and that was it. She had had enough of their childishness and would no longer be taken for granted.
Letting her eyes come to a close, Andromeda gritted her teeth, giving them one last chance before she erupted like a volcano.
Instead, their senses obviously flew away as both tugged on her hand at the same time.
"ENOUGH!" Andromeda yelled, yanking her hands away from their grip, and ignoring the pain that seeped into her brain from the force.
Her outburst successfully attracted the attention of the other spectators and people began to wonder what was going on.
However, what they thought, she could not bother about it. It was their thoughts and not hers.
"Enough you two. I am tired. Honestly. The last thing I want is the two of you fighting but since you want to prove your manly strengths then be my guest, guys."
"Andy," Xie Tian's voice resonated calmly against her eardrum but she wasn't having it.
"Stop. Just stop. I am done. I came here to clear my head but you two, thanks for ruining it."
Without saying anything more, she turned on her heels and walked away from where they were.
"Andromeda," Liu Xueyi called out after her but got no answer. Left with no other choice, he tried to hold Xiao Xin's hand as he gave his order. "Let's go."
"No."
Shocked, he turned back and was shocked to see that the only reason why Xie Tian had not gone even though his eyes clearly stated he wished to leave, was because his sister's hands latched onto his arms strongly.
"I am staying."
"Xiao Xin," Liu Xueyi heaved out a deep breath.
Shaking her head, she tightened her grip on Xie Tian's hand.
"Fine. I would call Bolin to come to pick you up."
"No need. I am okay. I would find my way home myself."
Although he knew she was old enough and what she said was true, he knew she was doing what she did for two reasons.
The first was to grant him an opportunity to chase after Andromeda and make amends while the second was because she wanted Xie Tian to herself.
And who was he to complain considering that was what he needed at that point? To be alone with Andromeda.
So many emotions were coursing through him at that moment. He did not know why he let himself behave that way and allow his emotions to get the better of him but regardless, it was late to cry over spilt milk.
All he could do at that point in time was swallow it all and fix things.
"Fine."
Liu Xueyi did not wait to speak more words as he took to his heels and chased after Andromeda.
The second he dashed off, Xie Tian gritted his teeth hard, balling his hand into a fist as his forehead puckered.
His breathing came in slow, short but hard as much as his exhaling. He let some seconds pass before he bothered with the young lady standing by his side.
"Why?"
