Chapter 160 - Who Is That Mysterious 'Other Guy' ?

Controlling his urge to kill this jerk, Yue Xiang slapped his forehead and thought to himself, 'It might not be a bad thing for this Wolf to treasures someone more than his thirst for revenge! But, why does it have to be my Little Wan!?! She is just an innocent bunny under his dangerous claws. Damn it!'

---------Lin Xu enters the room----------

"Aye! I was so concerned about you and rushed here and yet you guys are making me work under this weather. You both are heartless." Lin Xu whined as soon as he entered.

Yue Xiang cleared his throat. "Amidst your lazy schedule, you finally worked in real life. You should be grateful that I am not punishing you using Military rule."

Xiao Hua nodded thoughtfully. "The Devil has a point— You are so good at lazing around and trying every means to avoid work whenever possible. So this is a good punishment."

Upon hearing that last remark, Lin Xu roared: "Hey now, what do you mean by that? I'm not that lazy!"

Yue Xiang nodded his head, "Lazy and slothful."

Xiao Hua cocked his head as a thought came to his mind. "Better change your name from Hippo to Sloth, it is more suitable for someone like you."

Hearing those remarks, Lin Xu was practically breathing fire through his nostrils. How could they disregard him like that? He continued to bicker. "I am not Hippo!! That's it. We are divorcing. Hereafter I won't stay with you. If I did! You can slap me with your ugly and smelly shoes."

Xiao Hua and Yue Xiang raised their eyebrows with a thought of slapping him now: "Okay!" They said with perfect synchronization.

Lin Xu muttered under his breath; "Upon wearing the military uniform you yell like a military dog and removing it becomes a thug. Bully! Always hurting my innocent heart."

In that instant, the eerie and cold surroundings turned into a fairytale place, with Lin Xu as Cinderella being bullied by two stepsisters; Yue Xiang and Xiao Hua.

Yue Xiang and Xiao Hua snorted, "Sorry to spoil your imagination, but it is indigestible to see you in that character."

Tears twinkled down the rim of Lin Xu's eyes as he mourned: "Ahhh!! We were once best buddies, but from this day onwards we are enemies! Enemies! Even if you beg me with sincerity, I won't be coming back. Fat chance of that!" He turned his back on his one time friends and started to walk towards the door.

At the exact moment, Housekeeper Huang knocked on the door twice and came in with the fragrant nourishment soup and hot dinner for the guest.

Yue Xiang gave an annoyed look at Lin Xu and raised his eyebrow with an expression of 'Why are you still here?'

Lin Xu's eyes flickered to the food on Housekeeper Huang's hand. Licking his lips repeatedly, he blabbered nonsense with a 180 degree change in his attitude. "Ahhsss..., Xiang dear, I am just fooling around! You know me, today we fight and tomorrow we will be together, after all, that's what best friends are for.....etc... etc" His voice volume proceeded to diminish to mute.

Yue Xiang might lose the last bits of his senses upon hearing Lin Xu's stupidity. 'I should've kicked him out of the house while I had the chance!'

Xiao Hua could smell the bitter and strong medicinal scent of the blood nourishment soup and furrowed his elegant brows slightly. He ordered Housekeeper Huang to be place it on the table and leave.

When the Devil and the Wolf remained cold and unresponsive to his words, Lin Xu shifted his attention to the table where the hot food was placed by the housekeeper. He sneakily went near it and forgot about everything around him as the delicious scent wafted up to his nose.

Looking at Lin Xu's action, a snap formed at Yue Xiang's head. He scoffed: "There should be only two people in this whole wide world, including him, who could be any more shameless I have ever seen."

Xiao Hua became slightly curious about who the other guy might be.

"Who is this other person...?"

"Well, he's the one at home waiting for Little Wan right now with his tail wagging back and forth."

Looking at Yue Xiang's cold smirk Xiao Hua immediately realized who that mysterious 'other guy' could be. It could only be that little brat.

Yue Xiang looked at the scene outside the window. The darkness in the boundless sky seemed to be gradually thickening as flashes of lightning split it apart. It seemed like…a thunderstorm was about to befall.

----------On the road--------

Rumble—Rumble—Rumble—

A silver bolt of lightning flashed across the sky for a fraction of a second, brightening and dimming the darkened sky. It instantly created countless tiny fissures in the gloomy, dark sky.

At that moment, in a lonely road, a black Bugatti Veyron car, without awareness of the road or the thunder, moved over the highway, lights on full beam with a race car speed. The wind pushed the car to no avail. The tires made their monotonous hiss over and over as the car turned. The car was being driven recklessly as if the sky was about to collapse.

The car soon drove into a villa and halted before the entrance.

Pak!

In a flash, she unbuckled her seatbelt and got out, wordlessly disappearing inside of the massive home.

Outside in the sky, thunder rolled down and roared ferociously, like an enraged deity striking heaven and earth severely, seeming to cause the heaven to fall and the earth to open up, exterminating all life in the world.

-----Inside her room----

It was dim, inside the room, she didn't bother to switch on the lights. The white lace curtains were swaying in rhythm to the cold air and the atmosphere in the room was cold and frightening.

Even the dark climate there seemed to be a huge amount of gloom added to the atmosphere.

Rumble—Rumble—Rumble—

Thunder echoed in the distance, followed by a bolt of white hot lightning that broke the utter blackness of the sky. It stumbled through the darkened clouds, spreading out into the night, and finally landing inside the room through the window.

Under the dim light...

Near the bottom of the king-sized bed, a dark silhouette bent her legs, hugging her knees close to her body and burying her head down.

She curled up her body and had her defense up against the world. She still maintained a dark aura that allowed no one to approach her. Her body was trembling as if she had suffered from a terrible fright.

Yue Wan did not make the slightest noise, but her mind played the scene she saw before over and over again...
