I'm In Love With the Guy I Grew Up With

Chapter 324 Cold War 1

His unequivocal manner made it obvious to anyone that he was protecting Ning Xixi!

Ma Yiqing’s face turned deathly pale as she incredulously stepped back.

Why could he spoil Ning Xixi to no end but be so cold and ruthless towards her?

It’s not fair...

It’s not fair!

Ming Xuan, clutching his stomach and sucking in the cold air, came over to support her, "Yiqing, let’s go."

Having her face slapped figuratively time and again, with nowhere to vent her anger, Ma Yiqing suddenly unleashed it all on Ming Xuan, "You useless waste!"

A slap landed on Ming Xuan’s face!

Sharp nails scratched several bloody marks on Ming Xuan’s face.

Ming Xuan was pissed. Ma Yiqing might be a pampered rich young lady, but he was also a spoiled young master of the Ming Family, wasn’t he?

What he used to like about her was her gentleness and elegance, her graceful demeanor, not this current brain-dead shrew!

"Darn it! You dare to hit me? I won’t tolerate this anymore!" Ming Xuan cursed, then looked towards Ning Xixi, "Classmate Ning, today I see everything clearly. Dammit... I was deluded before. Here, I apologize to you!"

He took a half step back and gave Ning Xixi a ninety-degree bow!

Ning Xixi was a bit confused: O__O"...

Ma Yiqing panicked, "Ming Xuan, what are you doing? Why are you apologizing to Ning Xixi?"

Wasn’t he on her side?

"Haha!" Ming Xuan sneered coldly, and left without a care for that woman with the heart of a serpent!

Without Ming Xuan, Ma Yiqing didn’t dare cause more trouble; she could only stealthily glare at Ning Xixi a few times before beating a hasty and discomfited retreat.

Thus, the farce ended.

Four men, all looked towards Ning Xixi in unison.

Yan Yichen analyzed the situation and smiled as if it were a warm spring breeze, "It seems that our afternoon tea won’t be possible. We’ll make plans some other time."

Before the words were finished, Ning Xixi felt the large hand around her waist suddenly tighten.

Freaking out! This sleepy-eyed guy is doing this on purpose, right? Speaking so ambiguously, even Ji Yebai could misunderstand, for goodness sake!

Yan Yichen left first, Qiao Nancheng went to help Yuanyuan, leaving only Ning Xixi, Ji Yebai, and Gong Xiu.

Aren’t you going to scram?" Ji Yebai’s arrogant and willful tone shot mercilessly at Gong Xiu, his face full of impatience.

Gong Xiu’s enchanting handsome face was obstinate, "Xixi, come with me!"

"I’ve said it, I won’t go back."

Gong Xiu wouldn’t back down and stepped forward to grab Ning Xixi’s wrist, "I will protect you, make sure you don’t get wronged."

Ji Yebai’s gaze, sharp as a knife, lingered on his hand, his deep-pool eyes dark and turbulent, "Let go!"

"Xixi!"

"Let go!"

Between the two men, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, a conflict ready to explode!

"I am her brother; it’s my responsibility and my duty to take her home!" His thin crimson lips pressed tightly, "Ji Yebai, stop freaking harming her! Ying City’s business circles are all talking about how Xixi moved into your house before marriage! Do you realize what this means for her?"

"I’ll handle my woman’s affairs. I don’t need you to meddle!"

Gong Xiu’s deep gaze stayed on Ning Xixi, his tone carrying a plea, "Xixi, I’m your brother; I won’t hurt you. It’s really inappropriate for you to live in the Ji Family house!"

"Damn it, Gong Xiu, are you asking to be beaten up?" Ji Yebai’s anger was also ignited.

Ning Xixi couldn’t stand it anymore, "Both of you, shut up!"
