Chapter 714: Chapter 711
She hung her head low and was about to walk past them when suddenly someone grabbed her wrist.
Startled, she looked at Shen Lin in confusion.
Shen Lin was staring intently at Lu Xiao, his phoenix eyes unblinking and his expression extremely serious as he spoke,
“Lu Xiao, we really need to talk. This is all because of me; it has nothing to do with her. Don’t get so mad at her.”
Then, without caring how furious Lu Xiao was at that moment, Shen Lin pulled Li Zaijun by the hand to the front of his car, opened the door, and without another word, stuffed her small body inside and locked the door, not letting her come out.
Li Zaijun hurriedly pounded on the car window, trying to open the door and get out but was unsuccessful.
He saw her fear, nervousness, and bewilderment, so he couldn’t hand her over to Lu Xiao in her current state.
Both of them needed to calm themselves down now.
As Shen Lin walked over, he looked at Lu Xiao seriously and said,
“You see clearly now, don’t you? It was all me. I was the one who provoked her first, I pursued her.”
However, as Lu Xiao watched this scene and heard these words, his patience seemed to have reached its limit, though he still tried hard to control himself and managed to utter a few words,
“I only have one question for you, did you touch her?”
Lu Xiao stared at him, a storm gradually brewing in his eyes. In the next second, as if he could no longer bear it, he threw a punch.
Even without speaking, the answer was already very clear.
Shen Lin didn’t dodge, taking the harsh punch directly, staggering back a few steps.
His cheekbone was immediately reddened by the blow.
But this was just the beginning. Lu Xiao grabbed him by the collar, his anger uncontainable as he exclaimed,
“Is this the kind of care you said you’d give her in my place!? You took it all the way to bed!?”
Shen Lin took a deep breath, his tongue pressing against the sour malar region, and finally turned his face seriously towards him and said,
“It’s all my fault. You can kill or maim me, but I just want to say one thing, I’m serious about her, I want to marry her.” Saying this, Shen Lin’s tone paused for a moment, then he continued,
“Actually, I’ve been pursuing her for a long time. I’ve always wanted to tell you about our relationship, but she didn’t want you to know, worried that you would disapprove, so we kept dragging it out day by day.”
He spoke slowly, one word at a time.
Lu Xiao, listening to all of this, kept staring at him, his eyes seemingly containing hidden endurance and struggle.
Finally, after some indeterminable time, the angry emotion in his face still hadn’t dissipated, and he looked firmly at him and said, “You better remember your words. If you’re a man, you should take responsibility for what you say and do!”
With that, he suddenly let him go and turned away.
His tall, dark silhouette also carried a bone-chilling coolness.
It made the people around dare only to watch from afar, not daring to come close easily.
In fact, for Lu Xiao, although Li Zaijun was not his biological sister, she had grown up in their house since she was a child, and he had always regarded her as his own sister.
As a child, when she gradually came to understand what the death of both parents meant, her originally mischievous nature also began to converge a bit.
Even though he had not experienced it, he could somewhat sense what kind of complex and painful state of mind it would be.
But she rarely revealed it, always appearing carefree and heartless.
But in reality, her thoughts had always been more delicate and sensitive than anyone else’s.
This was precisely why he was worried about her and feared that she might get hurt.
