Chapter 165: Chapter 0165 I’ve Been Wanting to Slap You for a Long Time
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing special," Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "I just want to correct what you said, that’s all!"
"I, Ye Xunhuan, will never let a woman stand in front of me, no matter when. You better remember that clearly."
"Also, what, are you going to make a move?"
"Chu Ji must apologize to me!"
"What if I say no?" Ye Xunhuan stated in an even tone, "Mu Tiange, neither of us are children. There’s no need for these petty tricks, we all understand what’s going on."
"Besides, I think what class leader Chu said was quite right."
The gloomy look on Mu Tiange’s face immediately darkened. Ye Xunhuan had almost made his stance clear—Mu Tiange should do as he pleases. The idea of getting Chu Ji to apologize to you is just impossible.
If he were to let it go and not take Chu Ji to task, what would everyone here think?
Not to mention anything else, everyone would definitely think that Mu Tiange was still very afraid of Ye Xunhuan. After all, back then, Ye Xunhuan didn’t spare him from beatings, leaving psychological scars.
The expression on Mu Tiange’s face began to fluctuate unpredictably at this moment.
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan had somehow lit a cigarette for himself, taking his time to smoke it, his face calm and natural.
Chu Ji, protected behind him, looked at Ye Xunhuan at this moment and felt as if she had returned to that green and tender age. Back then, Ye Xunhuan was very domineering, afraid of neither heaven nor earth, the kind of person who considered himself third only to heaven and earth.
No matter who it was, there was no one he feared confronting.
As long as you couldn’t kill him, then he would make you understand the cost of provoking him.
The once-overbearing king seemed to have returned at this moment. Even though so many years had passed, and things had changed, today he was no longer as arrogant and overbearing as before, but had become much more stable and mature. However, the blood and pride within him still existed and hadn’t disappeared under the grinding of this ruthless society.
"Ye Xunhuan, out of respect for Gu Yan, I don’t want to make things difficult for everyone," Mu Tiange said, suppressing the rage in his heart, maintaining the image of a courteous gentleman, "As long as Chu Ji apologizes to me and Gu Yan, I can pretend nothing happened. We can all continue to eat and drink, and in the future, if there’s anything you need from Mu Tiange, I’ll still help if I can..."
Mu Tiange’s words sounded nice, but his desire for Chu Ji to apologize to him was unmistakable.
"Do you not understand human speech?" Ye Xunhuan asked, frowning, "She won’t apologize to you!"
Mu Tiange struggled to maintain the image of a gentleman, but his face collapsed immediately upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words!
"Ye Xunhuan, think carefully. It’s no longer the school days. It’s not the age where whoever has the hardest fist, the biggest fist, rules!"
Even a clay Buddha has three points of anger, let alone Mu Tiange!
And Mu Tiange had made his veneer quite perfect, believing no one would blame him, especially since Chu Ji was the one who was rude first.
Chu Ji, seeing Mu Tiange’s face darken to the extreme, and then looking at Ye Xunhuan who was unmoved, couldn’t help but say, "Mu Tiange, is it just an apology you want? I’ll give it to you!"
Chu Ji wasn’t afraid of Mu Tiange’s retaliation, but she had to consider Ye Xunhuan.
Just as Mu Tiange had said, it wasn’t an age where who has the hardest fist rules; everything is spoken by background.
"Don’t you dare apologize to him!" Ye Xunhuan turned his head and glanced at Chu Ji!
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan’s face, solemn and serious, all kinds of feelings welled up in Chu Ji’s heart. She deeply regretted why she had impulsively confronted Mu Tiange?
"Xunhuan, I..."
"If you apologize to him, from now on, we better not contact each other!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "I don’t like to associate with spineless people."
Upon hearing the word "backbone," Mu Tiange suddenly laughed, "A king indeed, a king. You don’t still think this is the old days, do you?"
"Backbone!"
Ye Xunhuan looked at Mu Tiange with a smile, "Mu Tiange, do you really think I haven’t seen through you?"
"You asked me to come here just to humiliate me and let everyone see what the once insurmountable Ye Xunhuan looks like now," Ye Xunhuan said evenly, "If you weren’t so petty, and hadn’t pressured Chu Ji, to be honest, I would’ve been more than happy to play along with this charade of yours!"
"But now, let me make this clear, Chu Ji will not apologize to you, and if anything happens to Chu Ji, I’ll be the first one you’ll have to answer to!" Ye Xunhuan said emphatically, "I’ve said my piece, if you don’t believe me, let’s try!"
A blatant threat!
For a moment, Mu Tiange’s expression grew so dark it was as if water could drip from it, his gaze towards Ye Xunhuan filled with malice.
Just when the situation was about to explode, Su Guyan suddenly stood up and walked towards Mu Tiange, looking somewhat pale as she faced Ye Xunhuan. Then she slowly turned her gaze towards Mu Tiange, "Tiange, let’s just forget about this!"
"We’re all classmates, and you were once our senior..."
Su Guyan was fine not speaking, but the moment she did, it immediately fanned the flames of Mu Tiange’s anger!
In his eyes, Su Guyan was pleading for Ye Xunhuan, asking him not to make things difficult for Ye Xunhuan, but damn it, how could he back down from challenging Ye Xunhuan?
"Forget about it?" Mu Tiange let out a cold laugh, "Impossible. Gu Yan, step aside. If you really can’t bear to watch, then leave for a while!"
"Tiange..."
"I said get out!"
"Do you really want to continue?"
"What?" Mu Tiange said coldly, "Are you trying to protect your ex-lover?"
Hearing the term "ex-lover," Su Guyan’s complexion slightly changed, "I..."
"Move aside," Mu Tiange said with a cold face.
"Mu Tiange, we’re all classmates here..."
"Are they your classmates, or is it because your ex-lover is here?" Mu Tiange said with a cold face, "Su Guyan, don’t provoke me, or are you actually getting back with him?"
"You..."
"Shut your mouth!" Mu Tiange raised his right hand to strike Su Guyan.
But before his hand could fall, Ye Xunhuan quickly reached out and grabbed Mu Tiange’s wrist.
Ye Xunhuan’s grip was extremely strong, no matter how much Mu Tiange struggled, he could not break free.
"Ye Xunhuan, I advise you to let me go right now, otherwise..."
"Mu Tiange, that’s enough, if you want to do something to me, just go ahead!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly spoke up, "But before that, I have one thing I need to take care of first!"
For some reason, upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, a bad premonition suddenly surged in Mu Tiange’s heart.
The next moment, under the eyes of everyone, Ye Xunhuan suddenly swung his right hand.
A swift shadow of his hand passed, and then a crisp slapping sound rang out immediately!
"Smack!"
Ye Xunhuan slapped Mu Tiange heavily on the face.
Full force!
The terrifying power sent him flying.
"I hate it when men hit women, especially those who hit their wives!" Ye Xunhuan said coldly, "And I’ve long wanted to slap you!"
