“Brother, let’s talk this over calmly. We never intended to oppose Miss Qiao; we’re just doing someone a favor…”
“No need to explain anything to me. Since I’ve come all the way here myself, if you don’t let this woman go, won’t I lose face? If you don’t want to end up on the ground like them, you’d better show some sense!”
Xiao Yufan had no patience for this guy’s nonsense. He didn’t want to waste too much time on this woman. Yet, since he had chased her here, he naturally wouldn’t let Ge Lei have his way. How could such an ugly guy get to harm such a beautiful woman…
“So, brother, you’re giving me absolutely no face at all? I, Tong Lei, am someone with reputation and status on the streets. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing ever happened, otherwise…”
“Get lost…”
This guy was still dragging things out, and Xiao Yufan had already lost his patience. In the blink of an eye, he was standing in front of Tong Lei, his hand clamping down on the man’s throat. Qiao Chuxi, regaining her senses, timidly approached and stood behind Xiao Yufan.
Finally sensing the fear of death, Tong Lei didn’t dare delay any further, not even sparing a glance at his fallen henchmen as he retreated toward the dilapidated factory behind him. Xiao Yufan didn’t say anything else, simply flicking his hand dismissively…
“Hey, why are you holding onto my clothes like that? Do you have a thing for me? But I already have a wife…”
After everyone had risen, Xiao Yufan finally noticed Qiao Chuxi standing behind him, her delicate hand tightly gripping his clothes. Though she had tried to appear calm just now, she still felt the lingering sensation of surviving a disaster.
Actually, in Qiao Chuxi’s heart, she felt some gratitude toward Xiao Yufan. However, hearing this teasing remark, she realized this man was no different from those perverts who had harassed her before…
“Thanks. I don’t like owing favors to strangers. Since you saved me, I will reward you…”
“I’m not interested in your so-called reward at all. If you’re alright, just leave here. I have my woman to accompany and no intention of wasting time on a stranger!”
Xiao Yufan glanced at Qiao Chuxi but showed no emotion. In his view, rescuing this woman had been nothing more than a simple task, and he hadn’t expected anything in return…
He turned and walked in the direction he had come from. Qiao Chuxi hesitated briefly, then followed him out. Without Xiao Yufan, she dared not stay here any longer. If members of Lei Gang chased out after her, she was afraid she’d be captured again.
“You’re not going to get anywhere by following me, you know. I won’t have any intentions toward you…”
Observing Qiao Chuxi’s persistent pursuit, Xiao Yufan said playfully. This woman was definitely a beauty, but he had no ulterior motives toward her. He had already been severely scorned by her on the plane, so naturally, he didn’t want to invite more trouble.
“As if I need you to have intentions toward me! I just wanted to thank you…”
“You can just say you’re afraid to stay here alone. I won’t laugh at you, you know. Right?”
As if seeing through her thoughts, Xiao Yufan cut straight to the point. He knew the woman was following him merely seeking a sense of security, especially since they were still in this remote wilderness.
“No…” Qiao Chuxi denied it immediately, but from her expression, it was obvious she was lying…
“Cousin, how come you’re here? Everyone at home is looking for you…”
At this moment, a car smoothly stopped in front of the two. A person leaned out of the window, glancing at the pair and wearing a smile on his face. However, anyone could tell that the smile was somewhat forced. Upon hearing this voice, Qiao Chuxi’s eyes instantly flickered with emotion…
