FULL NOVELXO Chapter 52
Although she had swatted the man’s hand away, he remained unperturbed. Just as he was preparing to drape it over her shoulder again, he was dragged away by his collar.
What was happening? Just as he was pondering about this, he felt the surrounding temperature suddenly drop as a sharp, penetrating gaze fell upon him. It turned out that the gaze belonged to the man in the wheelchair.
Under the neon lights of the bar, everybody seemed to have blended into the background. However, he was different.
He merely sat there as his gaze conveyed the message that he was of noble birth. That cold, serene, unfathomable eyes and his aura formed a realm of their own, preventing the outside world from entering it.
“What were you going to do to her?” asked Xiao Su as he grabbed the man’s collar.
“I am sorry!” After the man regained his senses, he immediately apologized. Although the other party was sitting in a wheelchair, he could make out that that guy wasn’t an ordinary person based on the way he carried himself. Moreover, when the guy behind him grabbed his collar, he wasn’t able to fight back. So, what did that mean?
He was an experienced man, hence he knew how to adapt to the situation.
“I didn’t know you were with her. I am sorry. Please let me go.”
Ye Moxuan did not say a word as he pressed his thin lips together. His sharp gaze fell upon that man’s hand.
“Which hand did you touch her with?”
The man stood rooted to the spot. His forehead was beaded with cold sweat. Ye Moxuan’s cold gaze was akin to a shapeless mountain as it weighed heavily upon his shoulders. Unconsciously, he began to behave in a servile manner in front of him as he slowly lifted his right hand.
“Cripple it!”
Amidst the loud music, his calm words were similar to dropping a bombshell on the ground.
The guy’s face changed in that instant as his teeth chattered. “I-I-I didn’t mean to touch her. I don’t know… Sir, please have mercy on me!”
Before he had a chance to finish his sentence, several men in suits and sunglasses came forward and grabbed him.
He had never seen this scene before, hence he nearly collapsed onto the floor out of fright.
However, at the moment, there was a sudden turn of events.
Shen Qi, who was lying motionlessly on the bar counter just now, suddenly stood up and swaggered her petite figure over to Ye Moxuan.
“You!”
She walked toward Ye Moxuan and pointed her index finger at him.
Ye Moxuan’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at her with a calm expression.
There was a red tinge on her fair face and a drunken expression in her cold eyes, giving her a gentle and charming look. There were still some traces of wine on her rosy lips as her silky hair fell softly onto her shoulders, covering most of her face. She looked as if she had makeup on her face, yet it looked more natural than makeup.
Ye Moxuan looked lost as her charming gaze seemed to draw him in.
“You have no right… to interfere in my business!” Shen Qi bellowed as she pointed at Ye Moxuan.
However, she was a little woozy from the alcohol just now. She didn’t sound very convincing at all. On the contrary, she appeared coquettish and charming.
The rest of Ye Moxuan’s subordinates were so stunned that they had their mouths wide open when they saw this scene.
How could this woman have the courage to point Ye Moxuan in his face and accuse him of having no right to interfere in her business?!
“Well, say something! I am asking you a question!” When Shen Qi saw that he wasn’t moving at all, she took a step forward toward him. However, she missed her footing and fell on top of him.
“Young Master Ye!” Xiao Su’s eyes went wide as he called out to Ye Moxuan anxiously.
When Ye Moxuan saw the woman who was falling toward him, he could have avoided her as long as he moved his hand.
However, the consequences would be her falling onto the cold, hard floor. On the other hand, if he did not avoid her, she would fall into his embrace in front of all his subordinates.
Thud!
His subordinates’ eyes turned wide as they looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Did their eyes deceive them? Young Master Ye actually…
Ye Moxuan did move his hand. However, he did it to catch her. Shen Qi was falling toward him in the wrong position. As such, she nearly knocked her head upon the armrest of the wheelchair.
Just as her head was about to hit it, Ye Moxuan moved his hand and grabbed her other arm and brought her directly, and precisely, into his embrace.
Xiao Su heaved a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that she did not hit her head.
When he noticed his subordinates’ shocked expressions, Xiao Su pouted in his heart. He had heard Young Master Ye’s dallying with Shen Qi before, hence this was nothing to him.
Shen Qi’s soft face hit against Ye Moxuan’s sturdy chest. After she fell into his embrace, she did not move anymore. However, after a while, she mumbled in pain, “It’s painful…”
When he heard this, Ye Moxuan’s eyebrow twitched.
This damn woman! How could she crash into him like that? If it weren’t for his helping hand, she would have scarred her face by now. Forget about the fact that she did not thank him, how could she cry in pain now?
“Why… are you so hard?” With that, Shen Qi complained angrily as she clenched her small hand into a fist and hit his chest. “You jerk! You hurt me!”
Ye Moxuan and his subordinates were speechless.
Xiao Su couldn’t help but smack his forehead as he thought, Was Shen Qi drunk?
Usually, she did not have the guts to treat Ye Moxuan like that.
He did not expect Shen Qi to be a totally different person altogether when she was drunk.
On the other hand, Xiao Su felt that she looked cu—ter?
“I was asking you a question just now! You haven’t given me your answer yet!” Shen Qi was still pounding his chest as she asked her question. Although she did not expend too much effort in doing that, and Ye Moxuan didn’t feel anything at all, it was embarrassing nevertheless.
Ye Moxuan grabbed her slender wrist as he bellowed coldly. “Look here, woman! You better know when to stop!”
“What gives you the right to interfere in my business?” Shen Qi didn’t seem to understand his words as she lifted her head and threw the question at him in a loud voice. In that instant, her entire face was inches away from Ye Moxuan’s face the moment she looked up at him.
Their auras intertwined with one another.
There was a hint of alcohol amidst her sweet scent, just like a stimulant.
Ye Moxuan’s breath stopped as he gazed at the face which was inches away from him.
Normally, she did not have the habit of putting on any makeup. Moreover, her skin was in excellent condition. She had crystal clear, fair skin. It was as if a slight breath could break that tender skin of hers. Especially her rosy, enticing lips. It was opening and closing at the same time, as if guiding him toward a certain action.
Ye Moxuan’s gaze darkened as he lowered his voice. Then, his huge hands fell upon her waist. Following that, he said in a deep voice, “If you come any closer, there will be consequences.”
Ye Moxuan thought that a threat would be effective against her. However, he did not understand the condition of a drunk person.
Alcohol could increase a person’s confidence. The more you threaten someone, the more he or she would feel inclined to do the opposite.
The same went for Shen Qi as well. She felt more inclined to do that when she heard Ye Moxuan’s words. Hence, she leaned in closer to him, thereby closing the gap between them. Currently, the gap was almost non-existent at all between the both of them.
“I have come closer to you,” said Shen Qi in a cute and silly manner after she brought her face closer to him.
Her voice was light and feathery, just like fresh cotton candy from the machine. Ye Moxuan felt a tender feeling arising from the bottom of his heart.
Ye Moxuan’s breathing became heavy as he gritted his teeth and glared at her.
“Don’t play with fire!”
This damn woman! He never expected her to be so charming when she was drunk. She nearly drove him to the edge of madness.
“Fire? Where?” Shen Qi chuckled as she suddenly reached out her hand to pinch his lower jaw. She laughed faintly and said, “You still haven’t answered my question yet, Ye Moxuan. I thought you hated me, isn’t that right? Then, why do you have to interfere in my business over and over again?”
