Chapter 111: Chapter 111 I Don’t Want to Hide Behind the Scenes Anymore
Ye Wuchen grunted softly but still did not let go, his eyes brimming with laughter, “Are you done hitting? If not, I can take a few more punches, but I will definitely not let go.”
Mu Ruyue’s gaze grew even colder as she looked indifferently toward Ye Wuchen.
Yet, there was always something familiar about his eyes…
With this thought, she reached without any hesitation for the silver mask on the man’s face, but just as she was about to remove the mask, a hand firmly grasped her wrist.
The man’s lips still bore a smile, his eyes flashing with a mischievous light as he leaned close to Mu Ruyue’s ear and spoke with an ambiguous tone, “Do you want to see my face? But my visage isn’t so easily revealed. You can see it if you really want to, but you’ll have to marry me in exchange. How about it?”
“Sorry, I have no interest in you,” Mu Ruyue withdrew her hand and glanced at the man coldly. “Especially not in strangers.”
The man’s smile remained as he held her waist tightly, with a teasing tone he said, “This is already our second encounter. Am I still a stranger in your heart? But no matter, we will get to know each other very soon.”
Indeed, with this identity, it was only his second meeting with her, but if he were to appear as the Ghost King, they were already too familiar with each other, having seen every inch almost to the point of the final step.
However, he wasn’t in any hurry for that last step. After all, this woman would marry him sooner or later…
Narrowing her eyes, Mu Ruyue asked, “Who… who are you really? Have we met before?”
After she finished speaking, she clearly felt the hand holding her tighten. Then the man with the Silver Mask revealed a charming smile, “Didn’t we meet recently at the Alchemy Conference?”
“You know I’m not talking about that time,” Mu Ruyue said flatly, sweeping him a glance. “The first time we met, why did you help me? And Bai Ze’s words also made me very confused. Who exactly are you?”
In fact, not just Mu Ruyue, even Ye Wuchen didn’t understand what the white-haired man was talking about. Only one thing was certain: someone wanted to destroy their relationship and harm them.
And that was something he would never allow!
Ye Wuchen’s expression gradually darkened, and a chilling aura filled his eyes. In that moment, he seemed like a Shura who had crawled out of hell, his presence terrifying.
Watching Ye Wuchen at this moment, Mu Ruyue slightly furrowed her brows; that feeling of familiarity must have been her illusion, as she had never experienced this chilling aura before.
So this man could not be the one she was familiar with…
After a long while, the intimidating aura slowly faded, and Ye Wuchen lowered his gaze to look at the girl in his arms, his arms tightening subconsciously: “No matter what that man meant, I won’t allow anyone to touch a hair on you! For your whole life, I will protect you from any harm.”
Mu Ruyue curled her lips into a cold smile, “Anyone wanting to hurt me will have to see if they have the ability. Besides, how long do you plan on holding me? Let me go right now!”
This time, the man did not speak, and his hold on her did not loosen. As he gazed down at the girl’s stunning face, he spoke softly, “I no longer wish to hide behind the scenes.”
