Chapter 4 Falling Together
I shoved Liang Ye away with all my strength.
"Brother, um... I really don't know him at all!"
I stammered the explanation.
The halting sentences plus my flushed face—I must have looked guilty as hell.
Xu Muchi frowned slightly. At the same time as Liang Ye's cold laugh, both spoke.
"Brother?"
"Don't know each other?"
Liang Ye glanced at Xu Muchi, then tilted his head toward me.
"I already agreed to help you push tonight..."
Hearing him about to spout nonsense again, I immediately covered his mouth.
"Aaaah! Shut up!"
Then I used every ounce of strength to push him away.
"Go, you should go back!"
Finally, I watched Liang Ye's door close.
I let out a long breath of relief.
Turning around, I crashed into Xu Muchi's bottomless black eyes.
So annoying. Wasn't he supposed to be abroad?
Why did he suddenly come back!
Truly impossible to guard against!
I took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Brother, when did you get back?"
The man across from me laughed lowly.
"Is this... some new game?"
His long fingers pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. In his suit, he smiled like a refined scoundrel.
I froze. "Huh?"
My eyes darted around, but I still couldn't figure out what he meant.
But... since he was back, he must be here for Xu Nian.
I absolutely couldn't let myself wear this green hat!
At the very least... at the very least, only after divorce!
"Haha, Brother, you're here to see Xu Nian, right?"
I gave two dry laughs.
Straight to the point.
The man across from me paused, then asked back, "Xu Nian?"
I wasn't sure if he was playing dumb.
So I awkwardly scratched my head, wanting to send him away first.
"Brother might not know about us since you've been abroad. Don't worry, I'll definitely treat Xu Nian well!"
"But... it's not convenient today. Xu Nian isn't home. How about you come another day!"
The tall man's face grew darker and darker for some reason.
In the end, he laughed from sheer anger and stepped forward.
"Not home? Then that's perfect."
Me: "Huh?"
The next second, he gripped my chin with tremendous force.
Under my shocked gaze, he pressed me directly against the door panel and leaned down over me.
My eyes widened instantly.
Holy crap!
He was going to hit me!
I was thinking of escape routes when I felt the door behind me suddenly yanked inward.
My whole body lost balance and fell backward, dragging Xu Muchi along.
Thud.
We both hit the floor.
Xu Nian looked down at the two of us tangled together, stunned.
Xu Muchi and I stared at each other, also stunned.
"Heh, not home?"
