Chapter 110: Ye Chen’s Jealousy
“Upon hearing Li Zhong’s orders, the Li family’s bodyguards were about to forcefully escort Chen Luo and his companions out.
“Wait a moment,” came a female voice Chen Luo found vaguely familiar, prompting him to glance toward the approaching woman.
It was Gu Wanyu, crossing paths with her yet again. Gu Wanyu herself was taken aback upon spotting Chen Luo, immediately recognizing him from their previous encounter. Her memory of that day was vivid, having dreamt about Chen Luo repeatedly over the last few days, to the point where she had resolved to seek him out soon.
To unexpectedly meet him here was a surprise. Wasn’t Chen Luo just a humble waiter at the Rose Bar?
Confused about Chen Luo’s true status but seeing him in a bind, Gu Wanyu instinctively stepped in to help.
“Today is Li Ting’s big wedding day. It wouldn’t be nice to start a fight.”
Gu Wanyu intervened, her gaze lingering on Chen Luo for more than ten seconds. Worried that other might notice her interest, she shifted her attention away.
“There’s something off about this woman,” Zhao Yingxuan murmured sharply.
It’s often said that women understand each other best, and from Gu Wanyu’s gaze toward Chen Luo, Zhao Yingxuan sensed something was off.
“This woman is Li Zhong’s wife, isn’t she? Could it be...” Zhao Yingxuan’s lips twisted into a suggestive smile.
“Hmph, have you seen what they’ve brought?” Li Zhong snorted dismissively.
This event was attended not just by Magic City’s high society but also by distinguished guests from other regions. With so many eyes on the situation, if he didn’t handle this, where would the Li family’s face be?
“Kick them out,” Li Zhong commanded furiously.
Li Zhong’s bodyguards, naturally following his orders rather than Gu Wanyu’s, advanced toward Chen Luo and his group. Witnessing Li Zhong’s rage, some bodyguards were eager to use excessive force to please him.
Elza’s eyes flashed with a cold light as she kicked the leading bodyguard away, then swiftly neutralized all of the Li family’s bodyguards. Despite being easily overpowered by Chen Luo and appearing vulnerable in front of him, dealing with these ordinary men was as effortless as an adult dealing with children for her. She laid down more than a dozen of them without them landing a single hit on her. Had killing been an option, these men would likely be dead.
Elza’s suspected identity as an assassin female heroine made her combat abilities undeniably strong.
“Is that it?” Chen Luo said, his tone dripping with sarcasm, effectively drawing Li Zhong’s anger.
If Chen Luo was truly provoked, he was ready to trade for formidable artificial beings from the system and unleash havoc upon the Li family.
“That guy is looking our way.”
Chen Luo noticed Ye Chen spying on them.
Feeling Chen Luo’s scrutinizing gaze, Ye Chen’s grip tightened, crushing the armrest of his chair.
The sight of Chen Luo and Xiao Qingxue standing close together stirred an intense frustration within him, nearly pushing him to the edge as he struggled to maintain his composure, his teeth grinding together in irritation.
Ye Chen’s lingering affection for Xiao Qingxue was undeniable, yet the accusation of murdering Xiao Yongqiang had irreparably damaged their relationship, turning them into sworn enemies.
While Xiao Qingxue once merely ignored him, at least there was a slim chance, but now he had no chance. Unless he cleared his name and proved that he didn’t kill Xiao Yongqiang, Ye Chen stood no chance at reconciliation. But that was as difficult as ascending to heaven. If there was evidence, the Li family and Wang family wouldn’t had to find a scapegoat to take the blame for him.
“I’ll make sure he meets my father,” Xiao Qingxue declared, her gaze icily sweeping over Ye Chen.
“Ye Chen has feelings for you, doesn’t he? Kiss me, let’s provoke him,” Chen Luo suggested with a playful whisper in Xiao Qingxue’s ear.
Xiao Qingxue didn’t even pause before pressing her lips to Chen Luo’s. After all, they had already shared and done more intimate things together, so a kiss seemed minor by comparison.
The wine glass in Ye Chen’s hand shattered, his eyes filled with icy murderous intent as he glared at Chen Luo. Witnessing Xiao Qingxue initiating a kiss with Chen Luo ignited a fierce jealousy in Ye Chen, a jealousy so intense it threatened to consume him. This was an affection Ye Chen longed for but could never achive, yet Chen Luo had effortlessly won it.
“Chen Luo, you’ve got Xiao Qingxue through deception. You’re the one who killed her father. I swear, one day, I’ll reclaim her,” Ye Chen vowed silently to himself.
He suspected Chen Luo was linked to Xiao Yongqiang’s death, yet without evidence, he couldn’t confront Xiao Qingxue. Even if he did explain, she now placed her trust in Chen Luo, not him.
“Xiao Qingxue, you foolish woman.”
While Ye Chen’s feelings for Xiao Qingxue lingered, her significance in his heart had diminished.
Once, he dreamt of marrying her, but now, his desires were reduced to mere possession, to satisfy an unfulfilled wish from his past. Xiao Qingxue, now belonging to Chen Luo, was no longer the pristine, untouchable CEO. She was unworthy of his proposal.
The thought of Xiao Qingxue’s first time being with Chen Luo unleashed an uncontrollable wave of jealousy in Ye Chen.
