Su Rong listened to the lewd and filthy words between Ye Chu and Pang Shao. Finally unable to endure any longer, she stood up abruptly. She bumped into the table with a loud “clang”, nearly knocking over the tea set and startling Ye Chu and Pang Shao, who were drinking tea and wine.
“Can we leave now?” Su Rong’s gaze was cold, carrying a trace of disgust. She thought to herself that if not for Zhang Su’er, no ghost would sit together with such playboy scumbags.
Pang Shao turned his head to look at the charming Su Rong standing there. Her legs were long and slender, her skin fairer than snow. The narrow long skirt outlined her lithe and delicate youthful figure, brimming with the most captivating allure of a young girl. Her long lashes trembled slightly. In her slightly angry and shy eyes flowed a cold yet seductive charm.
Pang Shao had experienced many beauties, yet he could not help feeling amazed. Such a fine woman, though untouchable, was still pleasing to the eye.
“What is the rush? It is rare to meet young talents like us. Having you accompany us is a blessing!” Pang Shao’s previous playful demeanour vanished, replaced by a somewhat dark expression. He had always been arrogant and domineering. How could he tolerate someone shouting orders at him? Even beauties had no special privileges in his presence!
“We have done what we promised! Can we leave now?” Su Rong stubbornly stared at Pang Shao. Unconcealed disgust flowed from her eyes.
“No woman has ever dared raise her voice at this young master. Today, without my permission to leave, if anyone walks out, Zhang Su’er will definitely accompany me to bed tonight…” Pang Shao grew angry. A woman from a small kingdom dared speak to him, the heir of an imperial ancient noble family, in such a way. Did she truly think he would become a tame cat in Yao Kingdom?
Seeing Su Rong and Zhang Su’er pale with rage, Ye Chu could not help smiling. He thought Su Rong’s temperament was still the same, proud and stubborn as ever. But running into someone as arrogant and domineering as Pang Shao, such a personality was not a good thing.
“You…” Su Rong trembled with anger, her face flushed crimson.
Pang Shao shrugged indifferently. “Women should be obedient. Learning the three obediences and four virtues is better than anything else! Come, accompany us for tea!”
With that, Pang Shao ignored Su Rong and sat down to continue drinking from his cup!
Liang Shan watched Su Rong tremble with fury. He secretly clicked his tongue. He thought Pang Shao truly did not know how to cherish beauty. But since Pang Shao insisted on her accompanying him, Su Rong probably could not resist.
Just as Liang Shan sighed inwardly, Ye Chu stood up. He stepped forward and took Su Rong’s hand. The touch of her skin was smooth and silky.
“What are you doing?” Su Rong jumped as if shocked when Ye Chu held her hand. With a mix of alarm and fury, she shouted sternly, “Let go!”
“Fine! I was originally going to take you away. Since you still want to stay here, then I will not bother.” Ye Chu shrugged casually.
“Su Rong! Do not mind me! Just leave!” Zhang Su’er bit her lip. In her view, both Ye Chu and Pang Shao had ill intentions and were despicable people.
Su Rong gritted her teeth. She stepped forward and took Ye Chu’s hand herself, suppressing her disgust. Her tone carried a cold edge. “Take us away!”
Liang Shan stared at the two joined hands in a daze. “Damn it! He actually used this method to take advantage of his dream girl. What a beast! So shameless and filthy, even doing something like this. If it were me… I definitely would not… let such an opportunity pass!”
Pang Shao watched the three walk out. He too was stunned. Suddenly he felt as if Ye Chu had schemed against him again. Otherwise, why did this fellow not take them away from the start? Why wait until he clashed with them before stepping forward?
“Damn it! Using me again! He gets to play the good guy while I become the villain!”
…
Led by Su Rong out of the room, Ye Chu did not need to guess to know Pang Shao was probably cursing him as shameless and despicable right now.
“Can you let go of my hand now?” Once outside the room, Ye Chu thought it better to take the initiative before Su Rong甩 him off later. “Though I know my hand is warm and quite addictive to hold, after all, men and women should not touch so casually. If you keep holding my hand like this, what if no one wants me in the future?”
“Ah…” Su Rong pulled her hand back as if electrocuted. Her face turned scarlet. What did this bastard mean? Was he saying she was shameless for holding his hand? Had he forgotten this was all forced by him and Pang Shao!
Zhang Su’er stared in disbelief. Ye Chu actually knew about the propriety between men and women? Even more ridiculous was him claiming Su Rong took advantage of him. Who did he think he was?
Su Rong took several deep breaths to calm her nearly exploding emotions. With suppressed calm, she said, “Thank you for your help this time!”
“No need for thanks. Just curse me a few less times behind my back in the future.” Ye Chu smiled. These words made Zhang Su’er’s pretty face flush red. She had cursed Ye Chu plenty in the past.
Looking at Ye Chu leaning against the wall with a somewhat roguish and carefree air, Su Rong thought for a moment before finally speaking. “You should not have returned to Yao City! You must know your reputation here. Without the Ye family protecting you, many people would gladly make trouble for you.”
“If they dare come, let them try!” Ye Chu remained as nonchalant as ever. Though his tone was casual, it carried a hint of dominance.
If the previous Ye Chu was a thug and scumbag, the current Ye Chu gave off more of a laid-back roguishness. These were two entirely different temperaments. Thinking of Ye Chu’s changes today, Su Rong hesitated before asking, “What did you do in these three years? Why is even Pang Shao willing to listen to you?”
“Ah!” Ye Chu had not expected Su Rong to ask this. Staring at her stunningly beautiful face, he suddenly laughed. “If I told you that I once took Pang Shao to the Seventy-Six Caves and snatched a cave master’s wife to be his concubine, would you believe me?”
Su Rong and Zhang Su’er exchanged a glance, then shook their heads. They knew they would get no real answers from Ye Chu. As for his words, they simply ignored them.
What was the Seventy-Six Caves? The combined strength of the Seventy-Six Caves surpassed most small kingdoms. Any cave master from there coming to Yao City would make even the king tense. For Ye Chu to claim he took Pang Shao there to rob a cave master’s wife was clearly a joke!
“Fine! Since you do not want to say, forget it! But one last reminder: Yao City is very dangerous for you. Whether you listen or not is up to you.” Su Rong returned to her previous cold demeanour. She said this to repay Ye Chu’s help today. Seeing Ye Chu’s indifference, she said no more and left with Zhang Su’er.
She had said all she could. If Ye Chu refused to listen, he would bear the consequences himself.
Watching Su Rong leave with her slender waist swaying, Ye Chu smiled. He turned to head back, only to see Liang Shan standing nearby with a sleazy grin.
“Hehe! Holding your dream girl’s hand must have felt great and blissful! I really do not know where you got the nerve!”
Hearing Liang Shan’s words, Ye Chu rolled his eyes and ignored him completely. No matter what he said, Liang Shan would insist he was secretly in love with Su Rong and returned to Yao City because of unresolved feelings for her!
