Li Wei Ran drove Qin Sang and a tipsy An Xiao Li again to Qin Sang’s home.

A tipsy An Xiao Li behaved properly after she stopped pestering Qin Sang to sit down within the backseat together with her as an alternative of on the passenger seat subsequent to the 9 tailed fox prince. Even in her tipsy state she wasn’t blind to the lovey dovey couple in entrance of her. It made her extra decided to see via her coronary heart’s resolution.

An Xiao Li comforted her coronary heart – ‘I’m going to see it as I’m unfortunate. I didn’t look rigorously what was underneath the ice glacier prince’s white shirt. Beneath his white shirt is an incomparable darkish black coronary heart… so my coronary heart, faux you by no means fell for him.’

An Xiao Li moped within the backseat. She regarded out on the brilliant streetlights and felt her coronary heart didn’t hearken to her, it nonetheless ached. It didn’t matter that every one the streetlights have been brilliant within the district, she felt there wasn’t a single gentle that sincerely needed with all its coronary heart to shine due to her.

Li Wei Ran noticed his third brother parked in entrance of Qin Sang’s home.

‘Oh, Xiao Li, your little Bai has come to seek out you,’ Li Wei Ran teased and parked his automotive.

Li Wei Ran grinned remembering how Qin Sang gave him ammunition to tease his third brother when she informed him about An Xiao Li’s endearing nickname for his third brother – ‘little Bai.’

Li Wei Ran’s grin was a delicate chuckle remembering that morning he took his third brother down a notch…

That morning Chen Yu Bai led a gathering to report new monetary revenue and loss statements. He smugly singled out Li Wei Ran. ‘I’ve acquired at hand it to you fifth brother, you’ve got an uncanny potential to trigger the revenue and loss to rise and fall sporadically for any mission underneath your care.’

‘You reward me an excessive amount of… little Bai,’ Li Wei Ran teased and laughed.

Rong Yan who was severely trying over the monetary statements while ingesting espresso, splattered the espresso in his mouth onto the monetary statements and coughed nonstop after he heard Li Wei Ran dared to name their scary third brother ‘little Bai.’

Liang Fei Fang was studying a newspaper however lifted his head in disbelief when he heard his fifth brother dared to name his third brother utilizing an endearing nickname. He gave Chen Yu Bai a kiddo-it’s-about-time-you’ve-fallen look.

Ji Nan who was sleepy, yawned however turned alert to hitch her fifth brother to tease their third brother too. ‘Hehe… little Bai.’

Li Wei Ran didn’t wish to keep behind and obtain his third brother’s scruntiy and quietly bolted out of the assembly room.

Ji Nan took the autumn for her fifth brother. ‘Little Bai’ gave her a dagger that made her weary all morning and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Since that morning Chen Yu Bai’s sworn brothers stopped calling him ‘third clever previous man’ or ‘third brother.’ They purposely known as him ‘Chen Yu – Bai’ with the emphasis on the pause earlier than Bai to indicate him that they wholeheartedly supported his endearing nickname – ‘little Bai.’

Poor tipsy An Xiao Li didn’t know that her former pet title ‘little Bai’ for Chen Yu Bai made him rather less scary in entrance of his sworn brothers.

An Xiao Li acquired out of Li Wei Ran’s automotive and she or he noticed Chen Yu Bai in entrance of Qin Sang’s home. She may see his sad look from a distance. She bit her delicate lips laborious. He noticed her from the gap too and his eyes behind his glasses have been ablaze with anger.

The second An Xiao Li was inside listening to distance, Chen Yu Bai put out his hand. ‘Cellphone.’

An Xiao Li held again the intimidated feeling that his icy aura evoked. She shrugged her shoulders. ‘I don’t have my cellphone on me.’

Chen Yu Bai helplessly pulled again his hand. ‘Have you learnt what number of occasions I known as you?’

‘I don’t know. I informed you I didn’t convey my cellphone, how would I do know? You already know I wouldn’t know. So are you able to not purposely ask me questions you already know the solutions to?’ An Xiao Li stated in a severe tone.

‘An-Xiao-Li!’ Chen Yu Bai stated.

An Xiao Li lifted her chin and smiled triumphantly. There wasn’t a speck of worry left of that ice glacier who stood livid in entrance of her. ‘Um. What?’

In that second An Xiao Li believed since there was no love between her and the ice glacier then she believed there was no worry left to be fearful of offending him.

Chen Yu Bai wasn’t intimidated by An Xiao Li’s coldness. He was simply indignant. He was indignant from morning to the afternoon. At time for dinner he waited for a very long time and didn’t see her come to his place, it made him indignant and he known as her. However she didn’t reply her cellphone! He ordered one in every of his assistants to go discover her. His assistant reported again to him that she was consuming dinner with Li Wei Ran within the japanese aspect of the district. The second he heard she selected to eat dinner with another person slightly than eat dinner with him made the anger in his abdomen burn intensely.

When Li Wei Ran walked arm in arm with Qin Sang towards the silent and unmoving duelling pair having a staring contest, his curiosity was stirred.

‘Oh, what number of picket dummies have we acquired right here? One or two?’ Li Wei Ran teased.

In Li Wei Ran’s life one of many sights he cherished to see most was when his third brother’s chilly masks was taken off. His third sister-in-law had the uncommon present of having the ability to take off third brother’s chilly masks simply – his third brother’s normal detached face was purple with anger.

Chen Yu Bai glared at Li Wei Ran. ‘None of your online business. Scram upstairs now.’

Li Wei Ran took a step again. ‘Sang Sang, I’m actually scared!’

Qin Sang defended Li Wei Ran on the expense of An Xiao Li. ‘Chen Yu Bai, you actually don’t perceive the scenario. If you wish to be cherished by my massive sister Xiao Li then you’ll want to care for her little sister and her little sister’s boyfriend too. Oh, yet another factor, my massive sister Xiao Li earlier than dinner purposely left her cellphone on the espresso desk at house.’

It was apparent to Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang the second Chen Yu Bai stopped respiration and when Chen Yu Bai’s lengthy fingers curled into two fists. Li Wei Ran and Qin Sang held one another’s shaky hand and properly escaped the menacing battle that was about to be unleashed.

It was nearly the tip of Autumn, the evening wind was cool.

When Chen Yu Bai’s chilly hand gripped An Xiao Li’s chin, her complete physique broke out in goose bumps. She turned away from him as a result of she didn’t dare to look straight into his eyes.

‘Why are you indignant with me?’ Chen Yu Bai requested.

An Xiao Li shivered on the sound of Chen Yu Bai’s sudden light tone. They stood exterior within the cool evening, underneath amber lighting and beside his Audi R8 – she lastly realised she was confronted with the scenario ‘useless inside a minute’ like what was described in a romance novel.

An Xiao Li commanded her shivering physique to snap out of it – ‘Get up! For those who get previous this minute then up forward there’ll be a prince charming on his horse prepared to choose you up. For those who can’t get previous this minute then you possibly can solely cry miserably that you just’re nothing greater than a toy within the ice glacier’s coronary heart. If he beckons then you need to seem in entrance of him and if he dismisses you then you’ll want to disappear immediately. A toy has a brief shelf life, wait till the ice glacier is bored of taking part in with a toy – you’ll lose all of your cash and your complete physique too!’

‘It’s nothing,’ An Xiao Li stated. Her physique stopped shivering. ‘I’ve graduated, I’m an grownup and I can’t be deluded eternally. I wish to begin a brand new life.’ She regarded straight into Chen Yu Bai’s eyes. ‘Chen Yu Bai, no matter ambiguous connection that now we have between us, from this minute, I hope that our solely connection shall be that of a easy boss and worker connection.’

Chen Yu Bai listened to every phrase Xiao Li stated. He couldn’t maintain again and laughed coldly. ‘Hope? An Xiao Li, I’m letting you realize, one other individual’s hope is to be carried out and your hope is to be destroyed.’

An Xiao Li felt responsible earlier than for saying these heartless phrases to Chen Yu Bai. However after she heard him throw again heartless phrases to her, all of the guilt she felt was gone. She adopted his lead, she laughed even colder. ‘Is that so? Then I wholeheartedly hope that as every day passes you’ll get to dwell a greater life.’

An Xiao Li noticed the veins on Chen Yu Bai’s arms and face popped up, his eyes have been narrowed and he didn’t say something and it made her extra pissed off. ‘Do you’ve got anything to say? If not then I’m going inside.’

Chen Yu Bai didn’t have any response. An Xiao Li pouted her lips and rotated to depart. Instantly his hand pulled her proper arm again and she or he used her energy to shake off his hand on her proper arm.

Unexpectedly An Xiao Li’s shake labored. Chen Yu Bai let go of her proper arm, misplaced his stability and rammed into the aspect of his automotive.

An Xiao Li was shocked. She noticed Chen Yu Bai wrinkled his brow and thought the collision should have actually harm. Her coronary heart pounded quickly once more.

‘Hey…’ An Xiao Li stated. She stepped towards Chen Yu Bai and checked if he was injured anyplace. His complexion wasn’t good and it made her panicked. ‘Do you’ve got a abdomen ache? Didn’t you eat dinner?’

Chen Yu Bai snorted and opened his eyes large.

An Xiao Li’s suspicion that colliding right into a automotive would harm. She skilled it first hand – her physique was pushed in opposition to the automotive and certainly it did… actually harm.

Chen Yu Bai pulled An Xiao Li to him. He gripped her waist and turned her again to face the automotive then he pushed her in opposition to the automotive. He felt her delicate physique in opposition to his physique. The wind swept her lengthy hair into his face and he closed his eyes.

Chen Yu Bai opened his eyes and lifted An Xiao Li’s chin for her to face him. Certainly the chilly drops he felt on his shoulder have been her tears.

‘What’s there to cry about?’ Chen Yu Bai scolded.

Chen Yu Bai’s threatening tone made extra of An Xiao Li’s tears stream down her cheeks. Her pitiful state made his anger disappear.

‘Don’t cry anymore,’ Chen Yu Bai pleaded. He sighed and gently wiped her tears. His arms have been wetter by the second and his tone was gentler by the second, which was laborious for him to grasp why. ‘Are you able to not cry anymore? Okay?’

‘Okay… Xiao Li, don’t cry anymore,’ Chen Yu Bai stated gently.

Chen Yu Bai used one arm to hug An Xiao Li and used his different arm to succeed in via the open automotive window. He took out some tissues and patiently wiped her tears.

‘You…’ An Xiao Li stated in a choked voice. Her nostril was purple from crying. ‘You’re all the time like this. At all times ice chilly like a useless individual. Then often you’ll be resurrected every so often… However, I can’t proceed to relive these fleeting moments that you just’re resurrected and settle for the lengthy intervals while you’re an ice chilly useless individual.’

An Xiao Li’s tears blurred her imaginative and prescient, her voice sounded helpless and she or he pushed his hand away from her face. Then she used each her arms to carelessly wipe her face and by behavior she wiped her arms on Chen Yu Bai’s shirt.

Chen Yu Bai didn’t perceive every thing An Xiao Li stated however he understood the final which means of her phrases. She… was blaming his flaws to reject him.

‘Prior to now I believed a prince was somebody such as you, who’s good-looking and character isn’t a hundred percent good that’s why regardless of the way you bully me I may put up with it. However the actuality is you’re not a prince… the best way Li Wei Ran treats Sang Sang is de facto good. I love Sang Sang, I additionally wish to discover somebody who will deal with me actually good.’

An Xiao Li’s tears regularly stopped. Her darkish eyes cleared after crying and have become brilliant. Beneath the evening sky, she severely stated out loud her deepest need, she needed a love that wasn’t tiring and to dwell a phenomenal life.

Chen Yu Bai didn’t keep in mind what age he began to grasp that feelings weren’t one thing that might simply be expressed as taking cash out. For a few years he believed within the saying ‘nonetheless waters run deep.’ So in that second that he confronted an An Xiao Li that appeared like she sprouted a pair of courageous wings behind her again, he immediately realised one unusual concern referring to her – he was envious of her.

Chen Yu Bai felt it was a uncooked envy sufficient for him to wish to possess her and slowly torture…

An Xiao Li thought that she cried an excessive amount of and was hallucinating, as a result of it appeared like Chen Yu Bai turned gentler and his tone sounded so much hotter.

‘I haven’t bullied you,’ Chen Yu Bai stated.

An Xiao Li immediately snapped. ‘As in case you haven’t. I don’t like cooking however day-after-day you intentionally select difficult dishes. You’re all the time chilly and sarcastic towards me, you’re very aggressive… you don’t enable me to do that and that… you by no means smile gently with me like Li Wei Ran smiles with Sang Sang. You don’t respect me, you pressure me… anyway… I don’t need you anymore.’

An Xiao Li was each indignant and tongue-tied. Often she felt Chen Yu Bai handled her badly in a thousand other ways. Why was it when she was given the prospect to say the reality, she may solely keep in mind the trivial methods he handled her badly?

As An Xiao Li anticipated, Chen Yu Bai dismissed her trivial complaints. ‘If what you name treating somebody good is like fifth brother then there’s no resolution – how are you going to be good as Qin Sang?’

Chen Yu Bai pushed An Xiao Li’s most forbidden button – since she was a child to maturity, she hated to listen to probably the most when somebody in contrast her to Qin Sang and stated she wasn’t good and exquisite as Qin Sang.

‘What about you? How are you going to evaluate with Li Wei Ran who’s light, heat and an impressive jade amongst a forest?’ An Xiao Li requested.

‘What about you? How are you going to evaluate to Qin Sang who has perception and might perceive one other individual’s intentions?’ Chen Yu Bai requested.

‘You!’ An Xiao Li cried out.

‘What?’ Chen Yu Bai requested.

Chen Yu Bai laughed coldly and leaned one in every of his arms on An Xiao Li’s head. His eyes regarded like a triumphant child.

An Xiao Li was indignant like a provoked inexperienced frog croaking. ‘Is that so? Then there’s nothing left that may be solved. Let’s break up!’

‘What are you considering? You continue to owe cash, do you wish to default?’ Chen Yu Bai requested.

‘I’m defaulting! What are you able to do to me?’ An Xiao Li stated.

An Xiao Li was indignant sufficient to elbow Chen Yu Bai’s abdomen. He groaned and put an arm on the automotive to regular himself.

Chen Yu Bai’s complexion was gloomy. He gritted his tooth and stared at An Xiao Li’s retreating again. He silently vowed – ‘An-Xiao-Li, anticipate it!’
