Don’t be fooled by Cao Chenxi’s chubby appearance; when it comes to fighting, she doesn’t hold back at all.
Even with one against two, she can easily dominate.
When Chen Bin walked over, she was sitting on top of a man.
She was clutching a woman’s hair in her hand, her expression full of disdain.
Seeing the scene, Chen Bin hurriedly stepped forward to pull her away.
"Get up quickly! How can you go around hitting people?"
After crawling off the man, Cao Chenxi yelled furiously.
"This has nothing to do with me—it was them who started it first!"
Turning to look, Chen Bin saw the beaten-up couple looking utterly miserable.
But upon recognizing their faces, he froze instantly.
The man turned out to be Ye Hong’s son, Ye Pei!
As for the woman, it was the same one they had bumped into at the restaurant last time.
Looking at Ye Pei’s disheveled state, Chen Bin couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Isn’t this guy a cop? How could he fail to handle Cao Chenxi?
Clearly, he must’ve gotten his job through connections—a total poser!
Meanwhile, Ye Pei was equally baffled.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Chen Bin and Cao Chenxi, seemingly curious about their relationship.
Turning to Cao Chenxi, Chen Bin asked in a calm tone.
With a cold sneer, Cao Chenxi looked smug.
"I’m fine. Those two lowlifes were no match for me!"
"Alright then, let’s hurry and go grab some food."
Watching the two walk away, Ye Pei remained in a state of confusion.
Meanwhile, Feng Lei, who had been standing off to the side watching the drama unfold, quickly made a call.
"Buddy, I need you to investigate someone for me..."
At the restaurant, after ordering their food, Chen Bin asked Cao Chenxi about what had happened.
It turned out that Ye Pei had been busy flirting with the woman beside him while walking, completely oblivious to Cao Chenxi.
After bumping into her, he didn’t bother apologizing and even kept on insulting her.
The moment Cao Chenxi heard the words "fat slob," she became enraged.
What followed was a one-against-two showdown.
Even though Cao Chenxi had the upper hand in the fight, she still felt deeply wronged.
No matter how much Chen Bin tried to console her, it was of no use.
It wasn’t until the dishes arrived and she wolfed them down that she finally nodded in satisfaction.
Being with a woman like her, Chen Bin completely lost his appetite.
Afterward, they spent the entire afternoon wandering around, only for him to reluctantly choose an outfit that he didn’t particularly like.
As dusk settled, the two finally parted ways.
Back home, Zhao Xinmei had already prepared dinner.
Looking at his kind-hearted godmother and adorable daughter, Chen Bin felt extremely content.
If he could marry Zhao Xinmei and live such a peaceful yet beautiful life, how wonderful that would be...
On Sunday night, Chen Bin rushed back to Qinghe Town.
Shortly after returning to the guesthouse, there was a knock on the door.
To his surprise, it was Cai Lixia.
Unlike her usual delicate demeanor, Cai Lixia’s eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.
However, her gaze was firm, as though she had made up her mind about something.
Chen Bin swiftly welcomed her inside.
He poured her a glass of water and gently asked.
"What happened? Who upset you ?"
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Cai Lixia replied stiffly.
"You! It’s all your fault!"
Scratching his head, Chen Bin looked perplexed.
"When are you planning to come to my house?"
Instinctively furrowing his brows, Chen Bin replied.
"I’ve been pretty busy recently, so maybe..."
Before he could finish, Cai Lixia suddenly pulled out a fruit knife from her pocket and pressed it tightly against her snow-white neck.
"Every time you’re cold and distant with me—tell me, are you just playing around with me?"
Seeing the gleaming blade, Chen Bin was startled.
He quickly replied, "No, I would never play around with you! I just..."
Cai Lixia interrupted him again.
"If you’re not playing me, then are you coming to my house or not?"
Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, Chen Bin realized that she really meant business.
At that moment, he deeply regretted getting involved with these young women.
Always talking about dying—it was downright terrifying.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to cut off their relationship entirely, once and for all.
"Lixia, honestly, I think we’re not very compatible. If I were to go to your house now, it might not be good for your future. Why don’t we just call it off?"
"If you didn’t like me, why did you get involved with me? If you don’t come to my house or commit to me today, I’ll die right in front of you!"
As she spoke, Cai Lixia moved the fruit knife even closer to her neck.
Seeing drops of blood trickle down the blade, Chen Bin panicked completely.
He shouted, "Okay, I’ll go to your house! I’m willing to be with you! Just put the knife down!"
Wiping away her tears, Cai Lixia stared intently at Chen Bin.
"You’re really not lying to me?"
"Why would I lie? Everything I just said was a joke—you know I like you so much, I even dream about being with you. Please put the knife down!"
Hearing this, Cai Lixia tossed the fruit knife to the floor and threw herself into Chen Bin’s arms, crying uncontrollably.
Chen Bin quickly pulled out some tissue and pressed it to her wound.
"Are you crazy? Can’t we talk things out properly? Why resort to using a knife?"
At this moment, Chen Bin truly felt frightened.
If something serious had happened to Cai Lixia here, his bright future would be completely ruined!
Holding Chen Bin tightly, Cai Lixia sobbed.
"Why can’t you just show me the love I deserve? If you don’t like me, I don’t want to live anymore!"
Sighing deeply, Chen Bin suddenly felt helpless with this girl.
In all his life, this was the first time he’d encountered a woman willing to risk her life for him.
Running his hand over Cai Lixia’s head, Chen Bin comforted her.
"No matter what happens in the future, don’t ever do this again, okay?"
She stared stubbornly at him and replied firmly.
"No! If you ever stop wanting me, I’ll still jump off a building!"
At this point, Chen Bin felt doomed.
Of all the women he’d flirted with, today he had finally met one who was truly reckless.
This idea of using death as leverage—it was beyond outrageous.
But seeing how things stood now, he had no choice but to deal with it step by step.
Once her emotions calmed down, Cai Lixia suddenly asked.
"Be honest with me—do you already have someone else? Are you keeping me as a backup?"
Shaking his head quickly, Chen Bin replied earnestly.
"What could you possibly be saying? I’m not that kind of scumbag."
"Really? You don’t have anyone else?"
Looking at the sincerity in Chen Bin’s eyes, Cai Lixia finally sighed.
Leaning into his chest, she said seriously.
"This afternoon when I came to town, I bumped into Ye Pei. He said he saw you yesterday with another woman, acting very intimate. I thought it was true, so... I came to find you."
At that moment, Chen Bin realized that the whole drama had been stirred up by Ye Pei.
It seemed he’d need to teach the guy a lesson in the future, or else more trouble would arise.
"Lixia, I did run into Ye Pei yesterday, but the person doing intimate things with that woman was him! He’s just accusing me to ruin our relationship."
"Alright, I won’t believe anything he says from now on!"
At this point, Cai Lixia turned her head and looked at Chen Bin earnestly.
"Come home with me tonight, okay?"
