Chapter 61 - 61: Just Bite It as We Said?
In Xiao Qian’s heart, Yu Minglang was a calm and restrained person who never harmed anyone and seemed to have a proper view of the world.
Zheng Xu, on the other hand, seemed cunning and calculating, always putting his interests first. Knowing Yu Minglang’s background, Zheng Xu still dared to act against him. His character was crumbling!
These two seemingly impossible men to be at odds were actually fighting!
Moreover, they were fighting in a messy and disorganized manner!
Yu Minglang obviously had the upper hand. Even though Zheng Xu also fought on the streets and used practical moves, he was still far worse than Yu Minglang. Fueled by anger at Zheng Xu’s attempt to take advantage of Xiao Qian, Yu Minglang specifically targeted his face, beating him mercilessly.
Seeing his elder brother being pummeled in the face by Yu Minglang, the little brother couldn’t take it anymore.
He went back to the car and found a baseball bat. Xiao Qian immediately realized something was wrong when she saw the driver’s little brother going back to the car and knew she couldn’t let Yu Minglang be at a disadvantage!
The little brother had already come out with the bat. Xiao Qian instinctively reacted to help Yu Minglang. When the bat came down, Yu Minglang raised his arm without hesitation to block it for Xiao Qian. With a snap, the bat broke in half.
The little brother was shocked. Were Yu Minglang’s muscles made of steel?
Xiao Qian was furious seeing Yu Minglang being hit, and she charged forward to slap Zheng Xu!
“Zheng Xu! Are you an idiot? Why did you hit him?”
Zheng Xu:…
I was the one being beaten, okay?! Didn’t you see how badly I was being beaten?! And this guy damaged my baseball bat?!«-These were Zheng Xu’s true thoughts.
“If you touch him again, Zheng Xu, I won’t care if you die! We’ll stop cooperating right now!”
“What cooperation? Stop it right now!” Yu Minglang interrupted, feeling that he hadn’t beaten Zheng Xu enough.
Xiao Qian glared at him, “You shut up too!”
Zheng Xu swallowed his anger. It was obvious that Xiao Qian was biased. How much did she favor Fourth Brother Yu?
“Big brother, should I go up and beat him?” Little brother asked, holding the broken baseball bat and trembling. He wasn’t scared… not at all!
How could this man, who didn’t seem particularly fierce, shatter a thick baseball bat without even flinching?
“What are you hitting him for? Get in the car!” Zheng Xu squeezed these words out through gritted teeth.
“Huh? Is that still our elder brother?”
Just like that, he conceded defeat?
Zheng Xu walked up to Xiao Qian, and Yu Minglang forcefully pulled Xiao Qian to stand behind him, glaring at Zheng Xu menacingly.
“Chen Xiaoqian, this is all a misunderstanding. Don’t take it to heart. And who is this barbarous man to you?”
“He is my—- ” How should she introduce him? Her child’s father from her past
life?
“I am her boyfriend!” Yu Minglang answered for her while giving Zheng Xu a severe warning.
“Stay away from her!”
“Tsk, you’re just a boyfriend… not her husband, you can’t control her that much. She’s free now, right, Chen Xiaoqian?”
Xiao Qian was stunned by Yu Minglang’s words.
Boyfriend?
When did that happen? Why didn’t she know?
Seeing her dumbfounded, Zheng Xu flashed a triumphant smile, “It seems like your ‘boyfriend’ doesn’t have much weight.”
Biu! Yu Minglang’s heart was pierced. Indeed, his position wasn’t very solid, self-appointed as a boyfriend, cough cough.
“Zheng Xu, don’t go too far. We agreed to follow the three rules, and you have already crossed the line today.”
Now, Zheng Xu couldn’t help but feel not that happy.
A person who could achieve great things should know when to be flexible. Zheng Xu knew that if he continued to fight with Yu Minglang in front of Xiao Qian, he would definitely lose face. Yu Minglang’s martial power was too strong; he couldn’t beat him.
Moreover, more importantly, he had a deal with Xiao Qian. If he angered her, she wouldn’t treat him in the future, and then he would be in trouble.
There will be other days.
Thinking of this, Zheng Xu hooked the corner of his mouth and waved to Xiao Qian.
“Today was just a joke, don’t take it to heart. We’ll continue as usual. See you next week.”
When he said “see you next week”, Yu Minglang stared at him fiercely. Zheng Xu glanced at him smugly, got in the car, and closed the door. His face immediately darkened.
“Big brother, so we’re just letting it go?” Little brother couldn’t accept it.
“Nonsense, just drive!” As Zheng Xu turned and saw Yu Minglang dragging Xiao Qian into his Cherokee, his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
He couldn’t just let it go, but what could he do? He couldn’t beat Fourth Brother Yu and couldn’t offend Chen Xiaoqian. First, he had to ensure Xiaoqian’s stability, and then he would figure it out later.
He refused to believe that he, who drove a luxury car, couldn’t defeat someone who drove a shabby Cherokee!
However, thinking about Yu Minglang’s background, Zheng Xu didn’t dare to underestimate him.
Fourth Brother Yu had just taken over the company, but his family…
How could he protect Xiao Qian every day? No matter what kind of background he had, Zheng Xu felt that his chances were always better than Yu Minglang’s.
Yu Minglang practically shoved Xiao Qian into the car.
“Ouch!” Xiao Qian’s head hit the chairback as she was pushed by him.
Yu Minglang’s face was stern, and he didn’t speak to her as he drove. His hands, gripping the steering wheel tightly, revealed bulging veins.
“Where are you taking me this late at night?” Xiao Qian was just glad that her mother wasn’t alarmed when the two men had gone crazy fighting earlier. Otherwise, it would have been hard to explain.
“To my house.”
Yu Minglang tried his best to control his emotions. It was amazing how she could make him lose control!
“…Do I know you that well? Do you know what time it is now?” She was being dragged to his house late at night, how shameless could he be?
Her words made Yu Minglang slam on the brakes, stopping the car at the entrance of the Urban Village.
He turned his head, “Are you close with Mister Zheng? What are you doing with him at night? What did he just do? If I hadn’t come, would you have let him take advantage of you?!”
Recalling the scene earlier, Yu Minglang couldn’t help but feel disgusted. He wished he had beaten Zheng Xu’s face beyond recognition earlier.
“He was just joking, Zheng Xu isn’t usually like that—uh!”
Xiao Qian’s eyes widened, completely unable to believe it. He…he actually kissed her?
It must be an illusion!
The sensation on her lips must be an illusion.
It was Yu the idiot, wasn’t it? In her previous life, she had been the one to chase him, so she knew how conservative he was. Even after confirming their relationship, it took nearly two months for them to have their first kiss.
How could he have kissed her when they weren’t even close in this life?
However, this undeniable, strange yet familiar sensation was indeed what it felt like when she was kissed by the idiot…
But where did his conservative nature go? Where was his self-control? Where was his maturity?
Without even establishing a relationship, they kissed immediately. Was it….was it a dream?
