Yan Su blinked. She was so appalled it took her a while to process Mo Liuxi’s words.

“You’re not thinking Shi Xiang was helping me to…”

“Well, wasn’t he?” Mo Liuxi interrupted, his chest heaving. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Yan Su’s rage exploded. She swung her handbag with all her might and hit Mo Liuxi in the face.

“How dare you!” Mo Liuxi wasn’t expecting her to attack him. After suffering a few hits on the face, he grabbed her wrists to restrain her. “Yan Su, don’t think I wouldn’t hesitate to…”

“To what? What do you want to do to me, huh? You disgusting man,” she sputtered. Never had she been so angry at someone. Every time she looked at him, it felt as if the violence buried deep in her heart was rising to the surface. “Did you see Shi Xiang and me doing that? I didn’t even unzip my dress. Do you see any folds?”

Completely dumbfounded, Mo Liuxi dropped his gaze to the floor, surprised to hear her scolding him. He carefully looked at her chest. Her dress, which had a tight, high neck, looked immaculate. It didn’t seem to have been unzipped.

“What were you two doing in that corner then?”

“I wanted to use the bathroom, but I didn’t have any issues, so I asked him if he had any, “Yan Su said through clenched teeth.

Mo Liuxi blinked. “Then why were you hiding in the corner if you were only asking him for a tissue?”

“I didn’t want anyone to see us. Didn’t you say the reporters were sniffing around for dirt on Shi Xiang and me?” Yan Su was so mad she started laughing. “You’re a director. You have such a great imagination. You convicted me without a shred of evidence.”

Mo Liuxi rubbed his nose, feeling a little awkward. Yeah, well, maybe I did misunderstand her. Yeah, well, maybe my behavior was over the top.

With a sad sile, Yan Su continued talking, “Or, I’m probably a foul woman in your eyes–‘dirty,’ as you’ve often said.”

Mo Liuxi stood there, still staring at the floor.

He wasn’t happy to feel the disappointment in her eyes. “That’s… not what I meant. I was just worried you might ask Shi Xiang’s help if you felt too uncomfortable.”

“Even if I did, that’s none of your business. May I remind you that our relationship is done. Over. Finito,” Yan Su snapped.

Mo Liuxi felt very embarrassed. She was right. But his heart just went crazy whenever he was around her. “We broke up, but so what? Which rule said a man couldn’t take care of his ex-girlfriend? Which law says that? Which specific law says that huh? Tell me.”

Yan Su’s heart lurched up in her throat and out of her mouth, yet she managed to keep her calm. “You sound unreasonable. I’m not a law student. How am I supposed to know? A lawyer would be able to answer that question for you,” she said, knowing how lame she sounded.

“I’m sorry, there’s no lawyer here.” Mo Liuxi took a step forward, put his hands on the wall, and trapped Yan Su between his arms. “We’re alone now,” his voice was dry and deep. The sealed room added to the slightly seductive atmosphere.

Being shrouded in the light aroma coming from Mo Liuxi’s body, Yan Su was dazed a little. She raised her head and looked deep into his eyes. She felt trapped between his arms, her heart racing.

“I’m done talking to you. I’m leaving.” She pushed his chest hard but failed to push him away. “Mo Liuxi…”

“You didn’t come out to use the bathroom. You’re going to milk, aren’t you?” Mo Liuxi said.

“Can you stop thinking about that?” Yan Su felt both embarrassed and irritated.

“You didn’t even dare to drink any water,” Mo Liuxi continued.

“You’re right. So what? What’s that got to do with you?” Yan Su had reached the limits of her endurance.

“It has everything to do with me. You’re not allowed to ask Shi Xiang for help. So I decided to help you myself.”
