Yan Xinxin had a foreboding feeling. She noticed Mo Chuxi’s hand about to lift, so she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his arm with both hands.
"Xu Nuo, thank you. I’m leaving now—goodbye!"
Yan Xinxin hastily expressed her thanks, then turned to pull Mo Chuxi away, but how could she possibly overpower his strength!
"What did you just say? Say that again!"
Mo Chuxi stood by the apartment door, his tall frame like a mountain, unmoving no matter how hard Yan Xinxin tugged at him.
Xu Nuo had his hands in his pockets, a sly smirk curving on his lips.
"What’s this? Mo Chuxi, jealous, are we? Looks like you really pure little campus belle from our school."
"Yan Xinxin is already my wife! Don’t you understand?"
"I can’t stop you from getting the marriage license, but you can’t stop me from liking her either."
Xu Nuo once again boldly declared his feelings for Yan Xinxin.
"Just so you understand, I like Yan Xinxin. Truly liking someone isn’t something you give up on because of a few obstacles."
Mo Chuxi growled angrily.
The simmering rage in his deep eyes made Yan Xinxin’s heart pound with fear.
To prevent an outright fight, she had no choice but to try to coax the increasingly furious man.
"Mo Chuxi, let’s go back!"
"What did you say? You’re siding with him?"
He lowered his gaze, the violent storm brewing in his deep eyes was enough to make anyone tremble.
"I don’t want to see a scene. Don’t forget Xu Nuo is your younger brother. He’s just trying to provoke you."
"No, Xinxin, I’m not provoking him. My feelings for you are genuine..."
Mo Chuxi was thoroughly enraged now. His dark eyes burned crimson, and his knuckles cracked audibly.
"Mo Chuxi, are you leaving or not? If you won’t leave, then I’ll go!"
As Yan Xinxin spoke, she let go of the arms she’d been holding onto and decisively turned to head toward the elevator.
Mo Chuxi’s heart was almost instantly pulled toward Yan Xinxin. But even as he turned, he didn’t forget to issue a warning to Xu Nuo.
"Xu Nuo, remember this: Yan Xinxin is your Saozi, a woman you’ll never have the right to covet in this lifetime!"
His sharp, hawk-like gaze delivered this message with piercing gravity before he turned decisively on his heel. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel•fire.net
By the time he reached the elevator, it had just arrived, and Yan Xinxin had already entered without waiting for him.
Mo Chuxi felt a heaviness in his chest and strode after her, entering the elevator just as the doors were about to close.
The elevator’s atmosphere was stifling.
It was just the two of them.
Yan Xinxin stood silently in the corner, saying nothing.
Mo Chuxi’s lips pressed into a thin line, his brows furrowed. He raised a hand, tugging at the collar of his shirt, and finally opened his mouth.
"I looked for you all night."
He spoke, and there was a faint trace of grievance in his tone.
"Were you with Xu Nuo the whole night?"
But Yan Xinxin remained silent, as if she hadn’t heard him at all.
Mo Chuxi’s brows drew tighter. Suddenly, he turned and stepped toward Yan Xinxin, grabbing her shoulders with both hands.
She heard the elevator door open. From the corner of her eye, she saw an apartment resident about to enter, but after seeing Mo Chuxi, they hesitated and stepped back.
Yan Xinxin raised her hands to push him away. The man standing outside the elevator hesitated again and pressed the button.
"Miss, is this pervert harassing you? Want me to call the police for you..."
"Get lost! What does my wife and I have to do with you?"
