Chapter 10 Lu Qingchuan_1

A loud bang echoed, startling everyone in the box, causing a few of them to burst into laughter.

"I say, Mr Qi, can't you even handle a little girl?"

"Yeah, if you can't manage, let us have a go. You're just wasting time!"

...

The group teased Mr Qi, who had already been drinking heavily. Now, with an extra push and intoxication clouding his judgment, he became even more irrational.

He stepped forward, harshly pulled Meng Xi'er back as she tried to escape from the couch, and then slapped her hard across the face!

"Little vixen, you're acting all innocent but you're nothing more than a harlot!"

"Yebai, what's wrong?"

Yun Qiyan could sense the tension running through the man beside her, so she lifted her head and couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing."

Lu Yebai stubbed out his cigarette, lifted his gaze, and looked towards the ruckus in the distance.

His heart felt ill at ease. As he was about to stand up, a tall figure rose abruptly from the dim hall, striding briskly towards the couch.

...

A soft, pleasant male voice sounded from overhead.

"Mr Qi, you've mistaken my friend for someone else."

Looking at the man against the light, Meng Xi'er could only see his soft, brown eyes. Yet she immediately recognized the voice!

Mr Qi was taken aback before retreating. The man standing in front of Meng Xi'er bent over slightly and asked in a gentle voice, "Xixi, are you alright?"

It was Lu Qingchuan.

Lu Yebai's brother.

Looking at the gentle and handsome face in front of her, Meng Xi'er suddenly felt extremely wronged. Although she hadn't cried when she was treated horribly only moments ago, the soft gaze from him now made her feel like tears were about to fall. Biting her lip and blinking to stop the tears, she could not help but rush into his arms.

"Qingchuan!"

Her voice was choked with tears.

Lu Qingchuan reached out to catch her, telling the people behind him, "Brother, I'm taking Xixi out first."

Lu Yebai sat there with a cold, aloof expression, showing no response to Lu Qingchuan's statement - as if he hadn't heard it at all.

Only Yun Qiyan, sitting close to him, knew that Lu Yebai's body was tightly wound, an indication of his struggle to contain his feelings.
