Chapter 159 - Girls Love Bad Boys More These Days

Not even a second past before the thin silhouette was knocked down to the floor, its round head hitting the ground with a thud.

Yue Xiang's cold gaze locked onto the silhouette: "Who is it?"

The silhouette could feel that Yue Xiang's gaze was like shattered ice—chilling to the bones, left with nothing but coldness, it shuttered: "Me! It's me!!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yue Xiang's brows twitched and his voice was deep. "Hippo!!"

Naturally, the person who was hiding and causes the tumult was the most respected Young Master of wine brewing Lin family in the country, Lin Xu.

Rubbing the back of his head and grasping onto Yue Xinag's leg to stand up, he looked at Yue Xiang incredulously, "Why are you so fierce?! If you act like this you will be doomed to be a single dog for the rest of your life!"

Yue Xiang's expression was cold enough to freeze the Arctic ice and his eyes seemed to grow darker. He looked at Lin Xu, his arms crossed and his gaze imperious. "Why are you here? Acting like a thief!"

"I was worried okay? He is my pal too!" Lin Xu chattered and snuck a sneaky glance at inside Xiao Hua's room, debating whether to enter or run away and escape the devil's wrath.

Yue Xiang didn't answer and shake Lin Xu off his body with no change in the expression: "Tomorrow you will join the training session with my special forces."

A thunderbolt struck Lin Xu's soul and turned it to ashes. Shaking his head, the Chibi Hippo cried in a pool of tears. "It's was merely a prank. I promise you, daddy! I won't do it again. Please spare me! Woo Woo..."

"It's too late." Yue Xiang kicked Lin Xu away and turned to leave, but not before ordering: "Clean the mess first."

Chibi Hippo Lin Xu lowered his gaze and took a glance at the spilled water as the vase continued rolling around.

"Huh? But I didn't make this mess!" Lin Xu muttered, his expression fluctuating in a confusion.

After a long pause, he rubbed the back of his head and said: "Always bully me to clean his mess. Stinky Devil! Be a single dog for the rest of your life!"

Chibi Hippo Lin Xu cleaned the floor with a mop, but not before placing the vase in its position and closing the French windows along with drawing the blackout and soundproof gold velvet curtains.

However...

Behind the window, in the darkness, there was a fresh footprint of a person above snow mixed with dirt

-----Back-in Xiao Hua's room------

Yue Xiang sighed in annoyance as he spoke up, "Hippo is here."

Xiao Hua grunted as he repositioned himself on the bed. "You sure are slipping if your tail is able to be followed by that baka."

Yue Xiang grunted in reply. He kept his hands in his pockets as he walked towards the window and stood before it. He looked out at the deep black sky amidst the tiny flashes twinkling throughout it.

"Why did you go out alone after knowing that danger waiting for you? Even if the attack is meant for Ye Xian, the one who gets hurt is you. You dumba**."

Today dinner idea was planned as the opportunity to reveal Xiao Hua's true identity to Yue Wan. As such, Xiao Hua made a reservation in his own private hotel and created a romantic candlelight dinner for two. However, just as he was to pick Yue Wan up, he was attacked from the dark.

A part of him felt revived that the attack hadn't occurred when Yue Wan present, but a part of him was becoming more and more relentless on being interrupted on his second attempt, to tell the truth.

Trying to suppress his anger and grief, Xiao Hua said calmly, "I want Yue Wan to like the real me and look Xiao Hua with that feeling, not Ye Xian. I've made up my mind to open up to her, no matter what. If she accepts the real me then I will be her sword and shield, if not I will be her shadow and protect her for the rest of my life. I'll resort to every means to make her happy, even if it means that I need to stay far away from her or to give up the Xiao."

Xiao Hua had been refraining from bringing up this for the past few days, but to Yue Xiang's surprise, Xiao Hua mentioned it first.

"What about your revenge for your parents. Are you going to give that up? Soon you will lose all of your willpower to revenge and allow love to make your heart go soft. At the end of the day, you'll end up harming yourself along with my little Wan!"

Because that's what happened to Yue Xiang's birth parents. His father knew of the existing problems within the family as people fought for power. However, he just could not bring himself to pull the grass out by its roots and get rid of all of those troublemakers at once. Instead, he tolerated them again and again until the final moment when… he did not manage to take action in time and those people managed to kill his wife. Yue Xiang could picture the same thing happening again in the Xiao family. He feared that his Little sister might meet the same tragic fate as Yue Xiang's birth mother.

Yue Xiang stuck out his index finger and ran it across the glass in the French windows before him. With each stroke, his long slender fingers looked composed and elegant. Yet, it gave one the feeling of terror, as if he had hidden boundless intentions to kill.

"Xiao Hua! Give up on Little Wan and return back to your cocoon."

Turning his gaze up, Xiao Hua's low, heavy and clear voice was much colder than before as he replied "No!! I won't ....Unlike your father, I won't hesitate to kill those who try to harm my love. Regardless of what method I may use, I'll do whatever it takes to get rid of anyone or anything that threatens her safety. With the power I possess, I can protect myself and the person I love. I won't let Little Wan be in danger; not even the slightest bit."

There was a strong sense of confidence in his words and the air around him was filled with untouchable oppression.

Yue Xiang was suddenly at a loss for words. He stared at his buddy in shock. 'Huh?!' He didn't expect this answer from Xiao Hua. "Little Wan is very fragile and soft compared to how you are, so tough ruthless, mercenary, cruel, and despicable, and hard. "

Xiao Hua's lips curved into a smirk. "Actually… being tough for your loved one is also a quality that men should possess. Also, girls love bad boys more these days. A single dog like you won't understand it."

Controlling his urge to kill this jerk, Yue Xiang slapped his forehead. 'It might not be a bad thing for this Wolf to treasures someone! But, why does it have to be my Little Wan!?!'
