How could this man go so overboard?

Thinking of her friend snuggling in his shoulder shyly and reliantly and then looking at his nauseating face now, her heart suddenly ached for her!

She was so angry she was at a loss for words. The indignation she felt was written all over her face, but the more vexed she appeared, the more beguiled he became of her!

All along, the women around him were mostly eager to hook up with him, but either she was playing hard to get or up to some other tricks, she was not keen on him.

He must admit that his interest was piqued by her!

Dipping his head, he showed an unbridled appreciation for her scowl as she glared at him. Her eyes, which were filled with forbearance and stubbornness, were like the mist on a faraway mountain – dense and ethereal. She was very beautiful, indeed.

Including a face brimming with otherworldly pureness and tenderness, she seemed so fragile.

Anger colored her face like a rosy blush; it was utterly charming and alluring.

Growing obsessed, his eyes glinted with unbridled desires. He bowed his head to plant a kiss on her seductive, little mouth, yet she unexpectedly dodged this and raised her hand to give him a tight slap!

SMACK! She indignantly pushed him away, feeling that looking at him further would only cheapen her!

“I’ve never seen such a shameless man before!” she lashed out through clenched her teeth. If she did not rein in herself, she would likely tremble in fury. “Given your dignified appearance, I didn’t expect you to be such a disgusting pig underneath!”

He subconsciously touched his cheek. It was scalding and stinging with pain. The force of her slap was not little!

He laughed despite the sting. Touching the corner of his mouth, he gave it a lick and tasted a hint of metallic sweetness.

He spat out the blood and laughed.

“Why? Are you mad?”

He looked at her with contempt, as if that slap did not faze him. Clearly, he assumed that it was also one of her tricks in playing hard to get.

“What’s there to be mad at a guy like you?!”

She only found him nauseating!

She felt indignant for Xiao Xue! This man was obviously a lecher and not at all worthy of her friend.

“I’m warning you; please conduct yourself with dignity. Do you know that you’re betraying Xiao Xue with your base behavior?”

“Xiao Xue? I’m merely playing with her. Once I’m sick of her, I’ll throw her away.” The indifference in his face frightened her.

Livid, she fumed, “She’s my friend; I forbid you from treating her this way!”

He merely snorted. “What right do you have to negotiate with me? This is between me and her; you don’t have a say in it!”

She was a little stumped for words at this!

It seemed… that she was in no position to talk about this matter!

Still, she just could not let it go!

Thus, clenching her fists, she asked, “Are you like this in front of her, too?”

He cocked a brow, apparently unable to grasp her meaning.

She continued. “Perhaps, you act like a dignified gentleman in front of her, but behind her back, you behave in such a disgusting manner?”

“Ha! Her?”

“…”

“Who isn’t pretending? Isn’t she playing pretense with me, too?”
