Chapter 158 - I Am NOT Toying With Her

--------With-Yue-Xiang---------

After Doctor Bai and Housekeeper Huang left the room, the Dark Guard, Dong Yi entered the room with a grave expression on his face. He had suffered such a fright that his heart could not handle what was happening. He was ashamed to face his Prince.

As an Elite dark guard leader, how could he let his Prince get hurt like this? He clenched his fist as the rage-filled his eyes.

Yue Xiang turned to him as he entered and asked with a sullen expression on his face, "Do you have any leads?"

Shaking his head, Dong Yi answered, "I've already sent people to check on it. There are no results yet."

Currently, everyone in the dark knight organization was searching for the mastermind behind this sneaky attack. The attackers were very likely from a certain family which may be more powerful than the Xiao. It was little wonder that they could not find any leads yet.

Yue Xiang picked up his phone as he reassured Dong Yi, "My Special forces will join you and help find any leads."

However, a gruff voice interrupted Yue Xiang before he could speak to his men: "It's a waste of time, there won't be any useful leads even with the Yue Military force. Those who came to attack me were after Ye Xian, not Xiao Hua."

Yue Xiang was greatly taken aback by Xiao Hua's words: "What?!"

Xiao Huo, who was resting in a propped up position, leaning against the head of the bed, looked extremely menacing and terrifying with a pale face. "If it about teaching those culprits a lesson. There was still plenty of time for us to continue dealing with them in the future…But right now, the attackers want to test Yue power, or to be more specific, they are here to check Your strength, Xiang."

Yue Xiang harsh and unfeeling gaze suddenly turned cold and sharp with a frightening haze and unpredictability. 

Xiao Hua's face scrunched down in pain as he touched the wound on the chest. He didn't think it would hurt like hell.

Dong Yi who stood beside Yue Xiang, still feeling cold and tense. However, on seeing his prince's pained face. He clenched his fist and voiced out his opinion.

"But Prince, we would be able to get rid of all of them by tonight," Dong Yi dragged his words as he felt suspicious over this incident. Although he did not dare to doubt Xiao Hua's judgment, still they shouldn't take this lightly. The surveillance cameras near the attack area were ruined, thus it was not as simple as it seems. 

"Don't! It might blow my cover. Just find that person secretly and inform me who it is," Xiao Hua ordered. His gorgeous eyes were filled with wickedness. 'Will deal with them personally later, as first, my Wild Cub is my top priority.'

Having understood what he meant, Dong Yi nodded his head and disappeared like air to carry out the order.

Soon the room became quiet once again...

After Dong Yi left the room, Yue Xiang looked at Ye Xian(in Xiao Hua disguise) and asked with his forehead creased into a frown, "How did this happen? I told a million times to keep put."

Xiao Hua, who was sitting upright on the bed and checking his cell phone, was obviously not interested in replying.

The tension flowing between Yue Xiang and Xiao Hua managed to utterly silence the surroundings.

Yue Xiang raised his eyebrow as he looked at his friend. "Do I look like I have the spare time to deal with your bullsh*t!? Stop testing my patience... XIAO HUA!!"

Xiao Hua did not pay him any mind and made a call while hanging his head low. His composure made it hard for anyone to guess his thoughts.

Once the other party picked up the call, Xiao Hua replied: "Reservation canceled." Then, he slammed the phone shut with a snap.

Yue Xiang stood by the side as he watched Xiao Hua's action and roughly guessed what happened. He clenched his fist frigidly in disappointment.

Yue Xiang's tongue curled up, flattened, and rolled along with his name, chewing each and every word with rage: "XIAO HUA!!" 

Thunder's rumbling followed closely behind! 

Under the warm lighting of the room, Xiao Hua's looked all aesthetic like a sculpture with mysterious and unfathomable aura. His deep purple eyes glowed dully, yet had an unraveled confusion. He looked away, avoiding eye contact with him.

However, Yue Xiang continued to chime in: "I told you to keep your phony act away from my sister, yet you're still toying with her feelings. She is interested in Ye Xian, but he is nothing more than a facade created by you...Stop making things complicated because of your selfishness or..else....."

Before Yue Xiang could finish saying something, Xiao Hua slammed the phone down and looked at Ye Xian. His expression viciously crumpled. He opened his mouth as his weighty voice flowed out next.

"I am NOT toying with her." He tore off his mask and revealed his pearless face with dark purple eyes.

Yue Xiang frowned in displeasure. "Then is it fun for you to play this dual role in her life? One as Ye Xian and other as the Young Master of the Xiao family, one that she likes and the other that she hates? I reason I gave you permission to enter the Yue corporation was to hide your identity, not to enjoy yourself! Picking on someone else if you are that bored."

Although Yue Xiang was sneering, his expression was clearly much colder.

Yue Xiang didn't give a gap for Xiao Hua to speak, his eyes folded mildly, glowing with a murderous harshness: "You already met her privately in Xiao Hua identity despite my heavy warning."

Xiao Hua anticipated this from his friend. "You sure have a vivid imagination about my character, Xiang! I just want to have some private time with Yue Wan. I never intended to harm her."

Yue Xiang blinked slightly, but there was no other obvious change in the expression on his face: "You are a true prodigy at lying, Hua. Today you----"

'Crash!!' Suddenly a loud crash interrupted them.

Hearing that Xiao Hua's brows shot up. He looked at Yue Xiang like a tactic understanding.

Yue Xiang quickly strode towards the door, but just as his fingers touched the cold metal doorknob, he found it's been not closed properly. Abruptly, he stepped out of the room and scanned every corner of the hall with their curious eyes.

Rumble, tumble-! Rumble, tumble-!  

'Clink, clink….!' A sound echoed in the hallway.

His gaze landed on the metal vase rolling on the floor near the half-open window. The cold freezing air was flowing heavily outside causing the window to bang open and shut heavily. A pair of gold and purple curtains draped over the windows, one part of the curtain was slowly swaying and caressing the floor while the other stood immobilized.

"It's just the wind!" Yue Xiang stated and returned to the room.

However....

Behind the curtain, in the darkness, a silhouette gave a heavy sigh of relief as Yue Xiang moved away.
