"This girl here is accused wrongly by you. Remember? Just because this restaurant is already reserved and you"re not allowed entry, you accused her of "hiring" me to embarra.s.s you by telling guesses that you cannot deny. I don"t think what you said to her is nice."

He made sure to show them his widest smile. 

"Ah, what a childish banter this has become. It"s unbelievable. But scenes like this always happened in some novels that d.a.m.ned ex of mine loved to tell me before..."

"Are you forgetting that we are supposed to be customers who she turned away?" hissed at him by Gu Cheng"s girlfriend, Ming Ruo. Her fanciful and colorful earrings, as always, were so painful to his eyes.

"I repeatedly apologized," replied Na Yu in both tone and gaze that held chips of ice.

"That"s what she said. It means she has done her part. What about you guys?" The stare he gave Gu Cheng was asking if he should also ask his brother, the male lead, to teach him basic courtesy and manners.

Apologies were done to acknowledge one"s wrongdoings. But the prideful cheater guy obviously didn"t want to do it. Jiang Li was guessing it was due to shame and pride. Or maybe a man"s sense of face and honor. 

Gu Cheng had long been used to things always going his way. No matter what he did, even if it was wrong, he could always use his brother"s name to get away with it. Rarely was he put to an awkward situation like this. Angered and like a cornered beast who had lost his reason, he clenched his right first and raised it. 

He wanted to punch the b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s smug face! "You"ve long been getting into my nerves, f*cker! I"m done speaking with you! Just go die!" 

Not even Gu Feng managed to foresee his brother"s next action.

Jiang Li scoffed, not the slightest moving away from his position as the immature guy rushed towards him. There would only be two outcomes. Either he broke his nose and had a good blackmail material. Or he witnessed an amusing surprise.


He didn"t have to wait for long to know the answer.

While Na Yu was yelling from fright since the fist was only a yard from him, Gu Cheng suddenly yelled too, but not a battle cry one. Who knows what that one was for? The young man"s attack halted abruptly, more or less a dozen centimeters away from Jiang Li"s eyes. He looked shocked, realizing that something was wrong with his arm.

"Why can"t I move?"

When the brainless younger brother of the male lead tried to have his balled hand move forward, nothing happened. He was paralyzed from head to toe, coldness caressing his exposed skin! The feeling was so creepy like thousands of small bugs were crawling all over him while he was underwater. It was as unnerving as when he had sleep paralysis and was trapped in an unending darkness!

"What"s happening to me?" Gu Cheng couldn"t fight back against the fear that crept up in his heart.

"He Chen!" Na Yu was still being panicky. Seeing that her ex was planning to hit him, she immediately pulled him out of the way even though she also noticed the abnormalities of the attacking man.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Gu Cheng. How dare you keep saying I"ve become so desperate when it"s you who are so horrible! I didn"t know you became so degenerate! I don"t need your G.o.dd.a.m.n apology! Eat your sorry! b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Her face overflowed with fury as she shouted.

Indignant for her boyfriend, Ming Ruo planned to slap Na Yu but his hand got caught by Jiang Li. Even though he was up close with a handsome man"s face, since her love for Gu Cheng was true, she recovered from the daze and protested. "Let me go!!!"

"Oh? Okay."

"Ouch!"

Jiang Li only let Ming Ruo go when she was jumping up and down and almost doing acrobatics just to pull her hand away. As a result, she ended up falling to the cobblestone pavement, landing on her b.u.t.t. The woman felt so wronged that she was taking huge gulp of air, her chest heaving up and down. 

Suddenly, a hysterical shout echoed out from her left side. "LOOK UP! SOMETHING IS FALLING!"
