74: Chapter 0074: What If I Say No?
Ye Xunhuan trembled violently when he saw Mu Tiange, and a youthful, naive face slowly emerged in his mind before merging with the Mu Tiange in front of him!
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan’s fists clenched tightly, his face swiftly crossed by a thick look of murderous and hateful intent, but it vanished just as quickly.
Ye Xunhuan was no stranger to Mu Tiange because Mu Tiange had once been a senior to him and Su Guyan and had snatched Su Guyan away from him.
If it weren’t for him, he and Su Guyan would probably be married by now, living a simple and happy life.
There wouldn’t have been so many people dying to keep him alive, nor would he have become the imposing Marshal who terrified the entire underworld.
Scenes from the past flickered through Ye Xunhuan’s mind like film reels whirring at high speed.
Mu Tiange walked over to Mu Rulin as if he had not seen Ye Xunhuan at all, or as if he saw him and pretended not to recognize him.
Mu Tiange might pretend not to see Ye Xunhuan and not to recognize him, but how could Su Guyan pretend not to see, not to recognize?
After seeing Ye Xunhuan, Su Guyan trembled violently, and her complexion slowly turned pale.
She hadn’t expected to encounter Ye Xunhuan here and certainly not while she was with Mu Tiange.
Would he think she and Mu Tiange were very affectionate?
Would he think she was deliberately appearing with Mu Tiange here to provoke him?
Suddenly, Su Guyan was filled with unprecedented panic.
She longed to walk over to Ye Xunhuan, grab his hand, and explain everything to him.
But ultimately, she suppressed the urge in her heart and did not explain.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but that she didn’t dare!
Having been with Mu Tiange for so many years, Su Guyan knew all too well how cruel and ruthless he could be.
Despite the vast power of the Mu family and marrying her without ever being intimate, Mu Tiange would never allow her to get too close to another man, let alone let other men get close to her.
Especially not Ye Xunhuan.
After all, Ye Xunhuan was her former lover, and even now, he was the man Su Guyan deeply loved—a fact that Mu Tiange was very aware of.
If she dared to appear overly intimate with Ye Xunhuan in front of Mu Tiange, Su Guyan knew without thinking that Mu Tiange would never spare Ye Xunhuan.
Mu Tiange had indeed tried to kill Ye Xunhuan back then.
Moreover, just the other day, Mu Tiange had told her that he wanted to “have some fun” with Ye Xunhuan and compete with this former high school tyrant.
If she displayed any sentiment that Mu Tiange deemed excessive or provocative, Ye Xunhuan would undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow from Mu Tiange.
Therefore, no matter how much Su Guyan longed to speak with Ye Xunhuan, no matter how much she wanted to explain to him, she had to restrain herself at this moment.
Because she didn’t want Ye Xunhuan to face danger, and she also didn’t know what she could offer to appease Mu Tiange if he decided to confront Ye Xunhuan.
In the past, she could offer her body, her whole future life to beg Mu Tiange to spare Ye Xunhuan, but now that she was Mu Tiange’s wife, what else could she offer?
All she could do was silently protect Ye Xunhuan, even if it meant being misunderstood by him.
When Mu Tiange reached Mu Rulin’s side, a look of surprise flitted across his face, and then, full of worry and a hint of anger, he asked, “Mr.
what happened to you?”
As soon as Mu Tiange’s words fell, Mu Rulin’s face darkened, and his gaze, heavy with murderous intent, immediately landed on Ye Xunhuan, his demeanor suggesting he wished he could kill Ye Xunhuan on the spot.
Mu Tiange followed Mu Rulin’s gaze.
When Mu Tiange saw Ye Xunhuan, he feigned a blank expression on his face, then appeared to be lost in some distant memory.
The next moment, Mu Tiange pretended to be surprised and said, “You…
you’re the Overlord, Ye Xunhuan?”
Mu Tiange was truly a skilled actor; those unaware of the situation would definitely believe that Mu Tiange had just seen Ye Xunhuan and had just remembered who Ye Xunhuan was!
“I really hadn’t expected Senior Mu to still remember me,” said Ye Xunhuan with a cold expression.
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t possibly show a pleasant face to Mu Tiange.
After all, Mu Tiange had stolen the woman who originally belonged to him!
Now, seeing Mu Tiange could be described as seeing red when enemies meet!
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Mu Tiange immediately showed a thick and seemingly gentle smile, “It really is you, the Overlord!”
“I really didn’t expect that after so many years apart, we’d meet again here.
It really fits the old saying, ‘No encounter in life is coincidental!'”
Mu Rulin was stunned when he saw Mu Tiange and Ye Xunhuan starting to chat.
It wasn’t just Mu Rulin; others felt the same way.
Ye Xunhuan and Mu Tiange knew each other, and they seemed like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.
If that was really the case, then this beating he had taken was probably in vain.
Although both Mu Rulin’s surname and Mu Tiange’s included ‘Mu’, they were not the same ‘Mu’; the ‘Mu’ in Mu Tiange’s name was much more formidable.
If Mu Tiange really was friends with Ye Xunhuan and would stand up for him, then Mu Rulin would just have to endure it and consider himself unlucky.
He definitely wouldn’t dare to act rashly in front of Mu Tiange.
“Brother Mu, you guys know each other?”
Mu Tiange nodded, “Of course we know each other.
This guy was my junior back when I was in school, a real tyrant on our campus…”
As he spoke, Mu Tiange’s face revealed a reminiscing expression, as if he truly missed those school days.
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but snort coldly when he saw the nostalgic look on Mu Tiange’s face: “Hypocrite…”
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s comment, Mu Tiange’s face showed an awkward expression, but he quickly covered it up and turned to Mu Rulin, saying, “You didn’t have a conflict with Xunhuan, did you?”
“You, you really think too highly of yourself, how could you get into a conflict with Xunhuan, and even if you did, you should have run,” Mu Tiange said earnestly, “When I had a conflict with Xunhuan back then, I always ran.”
“This guy is really strong, I’m not even a match for him, and yet you dare to face him head-on!”
As he spoke, Mu Tiange looked at Ye Xunhuan, “Xunhuan, since we all know each other, today I’ll make a decision on behalf of young master Mu, you apologize to him and I’ll let it go!”
“Young Master Mu, what do you say?”
Before Mu Rulin could speak, Ye Xunhuan immediately set his face and said coldly, “What if I say no?”
