Everyone knows Meng Qi has feelings for Dongfang Shu, but nobody ever speaks of it.
And nobody ever holds high expectations for Meng Qi.
Who is Dongfang Shu anyway?
Would she fall for her own bodyguard?
Yet, people can't help but wonder if Dongfang Shu has done 'that' with her bodyguard.
After all, Dongfang Shu is a widow.
As the saying goes, a widow's steps are full of pitfalls.
Moreover, Dongfang Shu doesn't have the best reputation, so everyone thinks Meng Qi is just her toy.
Of course, Meng Qi is crafty and quite competent too.
Otherwise, how could he be so favored by Dongfang Shu?
But ever since Ye Xunhuan appeared and rumors about him and Dongfang Shu spread, people began to forget the speculation about Meng Qi and Dongfang Shu and started gossiping about whether Ye Xunhuan and Dongfang Shu could end up together!
Meng Qi knows this well, and it is precisely because of his knowledge, coupled with Dongfang Shu's attitude towards Ye Xunhuan, that Meng Qi's resentment and anger began to boil uncontrollably!
Now, with Ye Xunhuan speaking so bluntly, it's like poking at the darkest corners of Meng Qi's heart!
"You see me as your rival, and you want to deal with me," Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "But you also know that I'm hard to deal with; you can't beat me!"
"Besides, Dongfang Shu probably restrains you often, doesn't she?"
Meng Qi remained silent, staring intently at Ye Xunhuan.
"Doesn't that make you feel suffocated?" Ye Xunhuan said with measured weight, "Think about it, even if it were me or any other man, they'd probably feel uncomfortable."
"After all, the woman you like keeps flirting with other men right in front of you, and more importantly, she often restrains you. Who wouldn't feel discomfort?"
"So you want to kill me, want to take me down, embarrass me." Ye Xunhuan's eyes, like black diamonds, seemed to pierce into the most genuine thoughts within someone's heart.
"But you have no opportunity. Now this situation with Ying Tianyi, it made you see an opportunity, and you couldn't wait to take action, isn't that right?"
"That way, even if you can't kill me, it won't harm you much. At least you'd gain favor with Ying Tianyi!"
"And you would ruin all of Dongfang Shu's previous efforts because your actions would anger me!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan voice out his deepest, most authentic thoughts, Meng Qi could no longer maintain his calm, gradually becoming flustered within.
"Your scheme is not bad, but everyone's not a fool. Your mistress is smarter than you think; she will certainly guess your intentions." Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, "By then, what do you think she'll do?"
Meng Qi's face turned even more sullen.
At this moment, Wei Zixu suddenly spoke, "Ye Xunhuan, just how many women have you been involved with in Jiangzhong City?"
The originally tense atmosphere was directly broken by Wei Zixu's words.
"Just eat your food and stop spewing nonsense!" Ye Xunhuan replied irritably.
"Leftovers for me to eat, and I can't even open my mouth…" protested Wei Zixu.
Ye Xunhuan ignored Wei Zixu and once again turned to Meng Qi, speaking to him, "Don't you believe it, once your mistress comes here, she will definitely give you a slap!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Xunhuan said nothing more, instead smiling while looking at Meng Qi.
After about ten minutes, the sound of high heels tapping on the ground came from the doorway.
Hearing the footsteps, Ye Xunhuan remained seated quietly to the side, "Your mistress is here!"
The next moment, a fiery red figure walked in from outside.
The person wasn't anyone else but Dongfang Shu.
Dongfang Shu walked in from outside, and the first thing she saw was Ying Tianyi, whose legs had been broken by Wei Zixu, lying on the ground, pale-faced and drenched in cold sweat.
Seeing this, Dongfang Shu felt a sudden pang in her heart.
Subsequently, Dongfang Shu's gaze fell on Meng Qi. When she saw the wounds on Meng Qi's body, her heart sank heavily.
Even though her heart was sinking heavily, Dongfang Shu's face was adorned with her signature smile.
It seems that for Dongfang Shu, no matter the time, no matter what happens, her alluring smile had to always remain.
"Little brother, are you hurt?"
Saying this, Dongfang Shu gyrated her slender waist, walking towards Ye Xunhuan, completely ignoring Meng Qi.
"Sorry to disappoint you, I'm perfectly fine," Ye Xunhuan said with a smile.
Though Ye Xunhuan was smiling, Dongfang Shu could hear the coldness in Ye Xunhuan's tone!
"Oh, little brother, what are you saying? How could big sister ever bear to see you get hurt, knowing that any injury on your body would pain my heart!"
At this moment, Wei Zixu couldn't help but make a retching sound, "Can you be a bit less nauseating?"
Upon hearing Wei Zixu's words, Dongfang Shu feigned surprise, as if she only just noticed Wei Zixu, smiling gently, "Young Master Wei, you're here too. And Miss Chu, it really is a coincidence!"
Seeing Dongfang Shu pretend to be surprised and lie without turning red, Ye Xunhuan couldn't help but admire her internally.
This thick skin, impressive!
"Miss Dongfang's people are really something, trying to harm my friend!" Chu Ji gritted her teeth, "So should Miss Dongfang give me an explanation?"
Because of Chu Ji's words, Ye Xunhuan said nothing, only smiling at Dongfang Shu.
"Miss Chu, this incident is my fault, I will definitely give you an explanation!" Dongfang Shu replied without hesitation.
"Then I'll wait to see what kind of explanation Miss Dongfang will provide!"
Dongfang Shu said nothing, but turned and walked towards Meng Qi.
In this society, after so many years of struggling, Dongfang Shu understood that no matter how well you speak, it's better to act rightly.
Seeing Dongfang Shu walking towards him, Meng Qi slightly stirred his throat, "Miss… Miss…"
Before Meng Qi could finish speaking, Dongfang Shu's right hand suddenly swung, and she fiercely slapped Meng Qi across the face!
A shadow flashed past, followed by a sharp sound.
This slap, Dongfang Shu showed no mercy, using her full strength, it knocked Meng Qi to the ground, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, leaving five crimson fingerprints on half of his face.
Having been slapped by Dongfang Shu, Meng Qi's eyes widened with disbelief, staring at Dongfang Shu!
She… She actually did as Ye Xunhuan said, slapping him in front of so many people.
"Meng Qi, Chu Ji's friend is someone you can offend, and this is Ye Xunhuan, a man I love. Are you looking to die?"
This moment, Dongfang Shu boldly declared in front of everyone that she favored Ye Xunhuan.
