“Xiao Xi, actually, today I came to tell you, I like you. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you…”
Lu Yang paused for a while, his face flushing. He was very nervous but his countenance was quite earnest as if he had been carrying out a tough task. Lu Yang became more determined and continued to say, “I have never been tempted by any girl before. But I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. You may think that I am too hasty, but I just want to follow my heart. And I don’t want to miss the girl I really like. Xiao Xi, I like you very much!”
Facing Lu Yang’s unexpected confession of love, before Yun Muxi herself responded, two huge “icebergs” behind her had generated “ice” maximally. They had no time to deal with their tit-for-tat race, but glared at Lu Yang tacitly, and then scanned Yun Muxi with inquiring eyes. This was a heart-in-mouth moment. Mou Yichen could not help asking in a low voice, “Will Xiao Xi say yes to this man?”
Gong Yu did not reply, but he was pretty certain if Yun Muxi said “Yes” to this man, he would definitely come to kill him.
Mou Yichen also thought that he had been protecting Yun Muxi for so many years, and never let anyone else swoop in. How could Gong Yu, such a strong competitor, appear within a few days. And now one more opponent turned up abruptly. It seemed that he had to quicken the pace!
Seeing the glare from behind, Yun Muxi felt a chill come over her and thought that who could tell her what happened. “Does I have so many opportunities for romance? Two huge “icebergs” has been engaged in a brawl, and now Lu Yang comes out to join in. If they fight, what should I do? Each one of them is super strong and competitive.”
“Lu Yang was a soldier, so his ability is not bad; Gong Yu has learned martial arts since childhood, so his fighting capacity is formidable; Mou Yichen looks rather frail, but he has a Black Belt in Taekwondo! So…”
Yun Muxi dared not imagine the consequences. So she immediately smiled at Lu Yang and said, “Haha… Lu Yang, today is not April Fool’s Day. No joking please!” And then she cast a surprised glance behind Lu Yang as if she had discovered a new land, and said to the two huge “icebergs”, “Oh my! Gong Yu, Yichen, how do you two get together here? Hehe… What a coincidence!”
Yun Muxi’s response eased the tension behind her but cast frustrated gloom into Lu Yang’s eyes. Unlike the energetic and active Lu Yang, he had become quite a different person. Yun Muxi was rather astonished at it. She had never expected that her simple intersection with Lu Yang could stir up such a great billow in his heart.
Gong Yu and Mou Yichen stepped forward side by side. They glanced at Lu Yang coldly and said to Yun Muxi with one voice, “Xiao Xi, you’re mine.”
As soon as they said this, three of them looked at each other in dismay. Yun Muxi was at a loss for words. “What do they want to do anyway?” she thought.
Gong Yu gazed at them coldly and claimed his sovereignty of Yun Muxi deterrently, “Xiao Xi will not be with any of you. She is mine! She was, is, and will be mine!”
Mou Yichen stood his ground and said, “I have known Xiao Xi for six years and liked her for six years. On love, I love her much longer than any of you. It will be the same in the future. I will not give up Xiao Xi.”
Since Lu Yang had just known Yun Muxi recently, his love for Yun Muxi could not stand up too much argument, but he also said with great determination, “Although I haven’t known Xiao Xi for a long time as you do, it does not mean that my love for Xiao Xi is less than you. I made up my mind that Xiao Xi was the woman for me at first sight. My feeling for her is genuine. And I will prove physically that my love for Xiao Xi is no less than yours.”
Mou Yichen snorted lightly, stared at Lu Yang and asked, “How much do you know about Xiao Xi?” And he turned to ask Gong Yu, “How about you?”
Lu Yang had no say in Mou Yichen’s words. It was true that the time he knew Yun Muxi was too short to have a good understanding of her. So he felt embarrassed, temporarily lost for words.
A chill came into Gong Yu’s eyes. He was totally unpleasant about Mou Yichen’s interrogative tone and said icily, “At least I know the things you do not know!”
Mou Yichen was shocked. “Does he mean…” he thought as he looked at Yun Muxi with uncertainty.
Yun Muxi was quite angry with the three childish men in front. She rubbed her forehead helplessly and said coldly, “Is that enough for you? Do you think you’re still three years old? Isn’t it silly? Am I the toy that you three fight for?”
Yun Muxi turned around and strode to the door, leaving behind three men who were too naive at the moment.
She had enough of their words. Each of them was a big name outside, but now they acted so childishly. Among them, one was a renowned award-winner; one was a senior executive, and another was a company commander of the air force. How could they quarrel in such a naive way? Where was their IQ? She could not stand watching them any more and was afraid that if they continued to carry on their nonsense, they would fight with each other wildly.
The three men scowled at one another. Since each of them was in a cold fury, the air around was frozen to the bottom, as if storms and rain had swept… But everything began in an instant and came to an end suddenly as Yun Muxi left.
They trotted toward Yun Muxi, but Yun Muxi paid no attention to them and went straight into the building. They scrambled to come to the building gate but went blindsided then, for it required access cards.
Gong Yu sneered and took out his access card to open the gate. At that time, Gong Yu was wild with joy. If he had a tail, it would have gone up in the sky! He felt that he was so clever that he had made such a decision to move to the opposite of Yun Muxi’s house. Gong Yu looked at the beaten two in disdain and said sternly, “Don’t follow me, or I will accuse you of trespassing!”
Mou Yichen and Lu Yang were livid with rage. It was true that any deliberate strategy could not compare to a favorable position. They watched Gong Yu enter the building and follow Yun Muxi into the elevator. In a huff, Lu Yang punched on the wall, and instantly a crack appeared in the wall. Mou Yichen frowned and glanced at Lu Yang, thinking, “Unexpectedly, Lu Yang really has a thing or two. Is that all right?”
Mou Yichen said flatly, “Would you like to have a drink?”
Just as the saying went, “Know the mutant; kill the mutant”, Mou Yichen should first know his opponent’s origin and background! So he sent an invitation to Lu Yang without hesitation.
Lu Yang looked at Mou Yichen doubtfully and said in a deep voice, “What’s good to drink with you? Am I much acquainted with you?”
Mou Yichen did not take it seriously and said, “At least, we share the common goal—Xiao Xi. Therefore, I think if we have to compete fairly, it is better that we should get to know each other, and it will be beneficial to both of us!”
Mou Yichen was quite open about his thought and spoke out frankly. He squinted slightly and stared at Lu Yang sharply.
Lu Yang was a forthright person with a broad mind. So he agreed calmly. Then, they left in tandem.
…
After entering the elevator, Gong Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at Yun Muxi without any trace of emotion. This made Yun Muxi feel involuntarily guilty. She just gazed at the numbers on the elevator’s display screen hopping one after another. Gong Yu opened his mouth and said flatly, “Unexpectedly, you’re so attractive! There are so many followers around you! You really make me worry about!”
Yun Muxi looked askance at Gong Yu and said crossly, “Gong Yu, who are you to me? It is none of your business if I am a trouble maker or not!”
Instantly, a flicker of anger took on Gong Yu’s eyes, and he looked at Yun Muxi parlously.
Yun Muxi felt in danger as if she had been targeted by a hungry wolf. She was overwhelmed by an uneasy feeling. She was getting nervous, as if she had done something wrong, and avoided Gong Yu’s dangerous eyes.
With a tinkle, the elevator finally went up to the 25th floor. Yun Muxi scurried out of it and rushed to her home.
The moment Yun Muxi entered her home and the door was about to close, a strong and powerful arm held the door. And the door was pushed open. Gong Yu was so tall that he shrouded Yun Muxi’s small figure.
Yun Muxi stepped backwards nervously. Gong Yu stretched out his hand to shut the door and approached her step by step. Soon, Yun Muxi lost her balance and fell on the sofa. Gong Yu leaned forward. Yun Muxi closed her eyes tightly and tilted her head back…
Gong Yu chuckled and said, “Haha… you little woman, are you waiting for my kiss?”
Yun Muxi did think Gong Yu would kiss her. After all, such romantic drama had been put on more than once before. However, what she received this time was not a sudden kiss but Gong Yu’s sneer. Her face blushed instantly, and she opened her eyes in embarrassment, only to see Gong Yu’s beautiful amber eyes watching her.
Yun Muxi stuttered, “No…. no. I… I’m just…. just scared…”
Gong Yu gave a burst of joyful laughter and his mood soared immediately. This pretty woman was extremely lovely! His anger vanished in a blink. It was only she who could affect his mood directly. He also felt his behavior before was rather childish. How could he compete with the two men from jealousy and even quarrel with them irrationally? It was too funny. Faced with this little woman, his IQ seemed to plummet down and his reason vanished.
Since Gong Yu didn’t kiss her, Yun Muxi felt a little disappointed inwardly. She had thought Gong Yu would kiss her, and never expected that he would cease, which made Yun Muxi feel ashamed of herself. She shifted her anger on Gong Yu.
