Chapter 11: The Trick of Pretending to Allow Escape 3_2

He had seen many women throwing themselves at him, but doing so in front of so many people, one could only say that this woman was not smart.

Xia Liyou couldn't help but sigh. She had wanted to find a quiet place to sit for a while, but someone had to disturb her.

Flirting could be done elsewhere. Why did they have to monopolize the spot she had chosen?

But since the other party was not leaving, she had to go.

Xia Liyou put the tall glass she was holding on a round table nearby and stood up to leave.

Seeing her leaving, Ruan Xiangchen immediately pushed away the charming beauty sitting on him and hurriedly called out, "Where are you going?"

The beauty who was pushed away didn't give up and clung to him again, whining, "Xiangchen, how could you do this? You almost pushed me down just now."

Ruan Xiangchen had always been gentle towards women who threw themselves at him. If they could get along, he would, if not, he would gently reject them. He wouldn't have acted as he just did.

If it hadn't been for Xia Liyou's departure, he wouldn't have acted against his principles out of desperation.

Even he didn't understand why he was afraid of this woman leaving.

Was it because he was afraid he would never see her again?

She was indeed beautiful, but it wasn't like he couldn't help himself just from one glance.

Xia Liyou ignored Ruan Xiangchen and continued to walk forward.

While Ruan Xiangchen was dealing with the woman in the black cocktail dress, he also wanted to stop Xia Liyou from leaving. In his hurry, a tragic event happened.

It wasn't on purpose. Just because he was being tugged at by the beauty, his hand accidentally slipped and he threw the glass he was holding at her.

The glass hit her, and the red wine in the glass spilled out due to lack of balance, staining her white dress.

The glass fell to the ground, broke in an instant, and scattered everywhere.

Xia Liyou was taken aback, caught off guard by the sudden incident.

Luckily, she was not injured by the glass shards, but the dress she had borrowed was indeed ruined.

Xia Liyou frowned, there was a hint of anger in her eyes. The dress was borrowed for her by Ai Wei, it couldn't be dirtied, but now...

Standing in place, Xia Liyou was slightly at a loss as she looked at her own cocktail dress.

Ruan Xiangchen glared at the beauty, prompting her to tactfully leave.

He felt around in his pocket, but couldn't find any tissues to offer. Fortunately, a waiter came over with a towel.

He immediately grabbed the towel from the waiter's tray, ready to help Xia Liyou wipe it off.

Just as his hand was about to touch Xia Liyou, she was pulled aside by another force.

Once she regained her balance, she saw who it was. Blinking, she asked with a hint of surprise in her voice, "Wei Xuefeng?"

"Hey, darling!" Wei Xuefeng cheerfully waved at Xia Liyou. His tone was teasing, but his hands and eyes were behaving, not lingering for long.

Because of this 'darling', Ruan Xiangchen's expression changed.

Could it be that this man and her were very close? To call her so intimately.

Xia Liyou didn't pay attention to how Wei Xuefeng was addressing her. Her expression changed slightly and a flash of panic appeared in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Pretending to be calm, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Because you are here, I obviously have to be here too." Wei Xuefeng quipped, the corners of his eyes flicking to Ruan Xiangchen, laden with provocation.

Xia Liyou was a bit worried. Wei Xuefeng was here... did that mean Ou Chengtian knew she was here as well?

He always disliked her attending such occasions and would always lose his temper over it. If he knew, there was bound to be a storm afterwards.

"What are you daydreaming about? Come with me, I have something to say to you." After Wei Xuefeng finished speaking, he lightly put his arm around Xia Liyou's shoulder and led her away.

Ruan Xiangchen wanted to say something, but seeing Xia Liyou obediently follow him, he closed his mouth and swallowed his words back down.

He didn't want to seem like a pest, but the man just now definitely wasn't her boyfriend. There was no deep exchange of looks between them, it seemed that their relationship was nothing more than casual acquaintances.

But the woman just followed the man so easily... could something be going on between them?

Ruan Xiangchen fell into deep thought.

Wei Xuefeng brought Xia Liyou to a corner where there would be fewer passers-by.

It was only because he had wanted to show off in front of Ruan Xiangchen that he had dared to put his hand around her shoulder. If a certain someone saw it, he might not even have a chance to explain before he was killed.

Xia Liyou obviously didn't mind his previous actions because she was currently worrying about one thing—Wei Xuefeng saw her here, so would Ou Chengtian come too?

If he really came, what should she do? That scene would certainly be awkward.

Seeing Xia Liyou looking worried, Wei Xuefeng waved his hand in front of her, bringing her back to her senses.

"What are you thinking about? You're not thinking about that handsome guy just now, are you?" Wei Xuefeng teased her.

In Wei Xuefeng's view, Ou Chengtian was so in love with Xia Liyou that he cherished her so deeply. Even for something as minor as a cut, he could put aside all other matters and quickly fly back to see her. This was enough to show the place Xia Liyou held in his heart.

Although he wasn't exactly sure how Xia Liyou and Ou Chengtian had initially ended up together, it seemed to have started with both unwilling to do so.

But that's the intriguing part about feelings. They always seemed to generate some chemical reactions from living together day after day.

Only he didn't realize that this chemical reaction was limited to Ou Chengtian alone, who was just performing a solo act all by himself.
