Chapter 126: Bitten by a Dog

Watching Xiao Yufan’s movements, Liu Hua closed her eyes resignedly, tears streaming silently down her cheeks. As an adopted daughter of the Liu family, there were many things beyond her control…

Yu Yihan was also staring intently at Xiao Yufan, her delicate hands unconsciously clenching into fists. Inwardly, she anxiously muttered to herself, “Is this pervert actually going to do *that* in front of me? This is an office, for heaven’s sake! How shameless! Big hooligan!”

She had countless urges to jump up and scold Xiao Yufan thoroughly, but sensing his mood, Yu Yihan wisely kept quiet. She felt deep down that Xiao Yufan probably wouldn’t be so impulsive.

“Don’t act like you’re some noble creature. To me, you’re nothing more than a pawn of the Liu family, or rather, just someone’s plaything…”

Tilting his head slightly, Xiao Yufan gently lifted Liu Hua’s chin. His eyes gleamed with playful mockery. No matter how beautiful this woman was, he had already lost all interest in her.

“Even if I’m just a pawn, I’m still infinitely better than a spoiled brat like you who only succeeds by leaning on family connections…”

A thin line of blood trickled from the corner of Liu Hua’s mouth. Though her eyes had dimmed, they now carried a hint of ferocity when she looked at Xiao Yufan.

“Is that so? I could reduce the Liu family to ruins, while you can only try desperately to patch up the holes. Where exactly are you better than me? The Liu family is merely a branch of our Situ family. Do you really think you have the capital to be arrogant?”

Xiao Yufan forcefully turned her stunning face toward him, letting out a cold chuckle. He greedily inhaled the alluring fragrance emanating from Liu Hua…

“Hehe, better in what way? The company I personally built generates over 100 million yuan in annual profit, while all you can do is squander money that doesn’t belong to you. What else are you good for!”

Hearing Xiao Yufan confirm his connection to the Situ family with her own ears, Liu Hua took an involuntary step back. Yu Yihan was even more surprised, her delicate frame trembling slightly. Now she finally understood somewhat why Xiao Yufan had been so confident.

“I don’t need to be good for anything to have you dancing in the palm of my hand. Isn’t that power enough…”

Xiao Yufan burst into unrestrained laughter. He pulled Liu Hua into his arms, gazing down into her captivating eyes with a charming smile. It was incredibly satisfying for a man to humiliate a goddess like she was nothing more than a common prostitute.

“You’re despicable!” Liu Hua finally exploded in anger. But to Xiao Yufan, the way her beautiful eyes widened and her delicate eyebrows furrowed only revealed another form of beauty. Xiao Yufan could guess that this woman had been sent by the Liu family as a form of apology.

“You think I’m despicable?” Xiao Yufan chuckled. “I’m not only despicable, but also mean, dirty, vulgar, tasteless, a classic womanizer. When I see a woman like you, I want to possess her completely!”

Liu Hua hadn’t expected Xiao Yufan to be so self-aware. She was so furious she couldn’t speak for a moment. If looks could kill, Xiao Yufan would have died countless times already.

Hearing Xiao Yufan’s monologue, Yu Yihan couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Although the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, based on her understanding of Xiao Yufan, she didn’t think he would actually do anything inappropriate here.

However, Xiao Yufan’s subsequent actions completely shattered Yu Yihan’s expectations, as she watched him actually press his lips against Liu Hua’s…

“Doesn’t it hurt…” Xiao Yufan shamelessly sucked on Liu Hua’s thin lips. The bright red blood was clearly visible where their mouths met. After a long while, when their lips finally separated, Xiao Yufan’s expression was even more arrogant.

“I’ll consider myself bitten by a dog!”

Liu Hua’s cold voice dripped out bit by bit, each word striking against Xiao Yufan’s already weary heart. Xiao Yufan’s despicable nature was gradually exposed.

This was the first time he had been treated so poorly by a woman. To Xiao Yufan, this was blatant mockery…

“The Liu family will be fine. I’ll convince my grandfather to stop pressuring them. Consider this bite from me as compensation!”

Xiao Yufan slowly withdrew his hand, his voice cold and emotionless. His tone became hoarse and indifferent. Every word Liu Hua had spoken shattered the dignity his grandfather had bestowed upon him. In the end, he was still someone who relied on his grandfather and his family.

“Also, I don’t want to see anyone from the Liu family in front of me again! If anyone dares to cause trouble behind my back, I will ensure the entire Liu family is completely wiped out…”

His voice carried a tone of finality. Xiao Yufan somewhat dejectedly sat back into his chair, his mind in turmoil…

In the end, he resolved firmly that he must become even more perfect, because some things couldn’t rely solely on his grandfather; more importantly, he needed to rely on his own strength!

Her expression first showed shock, then Liu Hua’s eyes filled with panic. She knew this time she had truly enraged this man. She was genuinely afraid the Liu family would face a great disaster. Yet she still harbored some hope, wishing Xiao Yufan would keep his word.

Standing up with a gesture indicating they should leave, Yu Yihan gradually regained her composure. Seeing Xiao Yufan deep in thought, a strange ache surfaced in her heart. She didn’t know exactly when, but this man had already left his mark on her heart.

Turning around, Liu Hua’s hollow eyes were now completely devoid of luster. Her usual pride and calmness had vanished. At this moment, she looked more like a woman who had been abandoned…

“A woman who can only trade her body for benefits, who do you think you are to talk like that? Don’t really believe the Liu family can do whatever they want!”

After seeing Liu Hua off, Yu Yihan’s gentle gaze turned somewhat cold again. Looking at this equally outstanding woman before her, a strange sour feeling welled up in her heart. Was it jealousy? She couldn’t be sure.

Watching Yu Yihan walk into the office after leaving those words, Liu Hua helplessly slid down against the doorframe. She really wanted to cry out loud, to release all the suppressed pain from earlier, but in the end, she could only softly sob.

Liu Hua was merely the adopted daughter of the Liu family. Although her outward appearance was dazzling, only she herself truly understood the pain. Every time, the Liu family treated her as nothing more than a bargaining chip. The torment she endured was something no ordinary person could comprehend.

Even she herself didn’t know why she hated Xiao Yufan so much. Perhaps it was simply because she looked down on this type of young master, no matter how much this man had tormented the Liu family in recent days. She still attributed all of this to the honorable and respected old man of the Situ family.

The tearful and hazy-eyed Liu Hua appeared so helpless. Regardless of the reason, now that Xiao Yufan had decided to stop pressuring the Liu family, her mission had been accomplished. Yet she didn’t feel the happiness she had imagined…
