Chapter 18

Are you appeased now?

She raised a brow at that.

Is this what Third Uncle meant by… outwit?

It really works! Having been beaten to such a state, he still has to come and apologize to me! This is twice the result with half the effort, indeed!

That’s really wicked!!

The urge to snicker surged as Chi Yi rubbed her nose, but she held back her laughter, cleared her throat, and solemnly said, “I don’t intend to pursue this matter anymore, so please return, Uncle. Furthermore, since there will never be anything between your son and me again, there’s no need to bring up those matters about doing me wrong! We’re… strangers as of now!! Aunty Lin, please send the guests out—”

“This—”

“Send the guests out!!”

Li Yuexin was naturally reluctant to leave, but since the lass had made her stance clear, there was no point in continuing to pester her. And so, he gloomily turned to leave with his head bowed.

The moment they stepped out of the villa, Chi Yi immediately dashed up the stairs and ran to her uncle who was on the second floor.

“Did you get them to come, Third Uncle?” asked the girl smilingly with a look of reverence.

The man cocked a brow. “They’re here on their own accords. So, are you appeased now?”

“I’m alright! I’m mostly appeased now!” She nodded with a wide grin. “Did you see how swollen Li Chenyu’s head was from his father’s beating? It’s hilarious…”

“Child, isn’t that your ex-boyfriend? Why are you rejoicing in his misfortune? Shouldn’t your heart be aching at the sight of him in this state?” He squinted at her.

“Tsk… What ex? We’ve never even held hands! Besides, why should my heart ache? He very well deserves it!”

“Exactly! So, keep your eyes wide open when you find yourself a boyfriend in the future! Don’t go picking up any jerks and b*stards…”

“…”

Jerks and b*stards? Oh, he’s referring to Li Chenyu!

Third Uncle, that’s one hell of a cursing!

……

Alas, Chi Yi did not expect herself to be pestered by that Li Chenyu fella again the next day after school.

She had just stepped out of the campus and she was blocked by the guy some ten meters away from the school. “Yiyi, let’s talk!”

“Stop calling my name so intimately. I don’t know you that well!”

She attempted to make a detour, but how could Li Chenyu possibly give her the chance to do so?

He reached out to grab her wrist at once. “I was wrong, Yiyi! I know my mistake now, and I’ve already broken up with that b*tch!”

“Get lost and don’t touch me—”

The lass shook off his hand irritatedly with a frown. “Li Chenyu, don’t blame me for taking action if you continue pestering me!”

“I’m pestering you and that’s it! I’ll keep pestering you and will never let you go again!”

Gosh, look at this. He’s the most shameless person I’ve seen!!

He then stepped forward to hug her.

A strong, big hand suddenly reached out and latched onto her shoulder just then. By the time she regained her senses, Chi Yi was already shielded behind a tall and big figure.

Li Chenyu, on the other hand, was pushed to half a meter away from her.

She was thrilled to see her third uncle here. Her head popped out from under his elbow to look up at the man and she asked with a grin, “Why are you here?”

Chi Zuxu’s face had completely darkened at this point as he silently cast his cool gaze on her. “What did I tell you yesterday? Don’t go picking up any jerks and b*stards! Do you not remember that?”

“Who are you? And who are you scolding as jerks and b*stards?!”

Since Chi Zuxu did not reveal his presence when Li Chenyu came over yesterday to apologize, the latter naturally did not know who he was. The sight of the older man playing hero to save the damsel in distress instantly enraged him. His temper flared up at once as he stormed forward. “Listen up, if you don’t want to get beaten, you’d better scram now!! Chi Yi’s my woman. If anyone dares fight me for her, I won’t let that person off!!”
