Chapter 556: Chapter 0556: Those Who Block My Way, Kill Without Mercy
William’s face stiffened slightly but quickly regained its natural color as he looked at Qu Qiangwei and said, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean!"
With her legs crossed, Qu Qiangwei swirled her wine glass and replied indifferently, "Don’t you want to marry Qiu Ruoxi..."
"What a joke!" William interrupted her sharply, "Qiu Ruoxi and I are cousins, how could I possibly marry her!"
"Cousins?" Qu Qiangwei’s lips curled slightly, "Is that so?"
"Qu Qiangwei, what do you mean by that?"
"The Xiahou family has only one daughter, Xiahou Yutong, did you think I wouldn’t know?" Qu Qiangwei sipped her red wine lightly, "Your mother is just an adopted daughter of the Xiahou family!" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"You like Qiu Ruoxi, otherwise, you wouldn’t keep asking me about her..."
"You don’t know anything either, do you?"
"Yes, I don’t know anything!" Qu Qiangwei didn’t deny it, "But, I do know that you like her, and you want to marry her!"
"It’s just too bad, she’s already married, you have no chance anymore!"
Just as William was about to speak, Qu Qiangwei’s voice came through again.
"Don’t deny it, it’s pointless!"
William swallowed back the words he was about to say and looked at Qu Qiangwei, "Do you like me?"
Taken aback by William’s question, Qu Qiangwei paused, a flush of confusion spreading across her delicate, pale cheeks.
William observed the subtle changes on Qu Qiangwei’s face and spoke unhurriedly, "You don’t have to deny it; I am aware, and I can feel it!"
Qu Qiangwei moistened her lips, "William, you’re too narcissistic!"
"Narcissistic?" William chuckled lightly, "Am I?"
"Qu Qiangwei, if you don’t like me, why were you so attentive to me when I just got back?" William pulled out a cigarette and lit it, inhaling gently, "And every time I’m back, wherever I go, there you are, like a shadow!"
"Also, you frequently travel abroad to see me."
"Other than liking me, I really can’t think of any reason for why you would do this!"
Qu Qiangwei was at a loss for words for a moment.
At this moment, facing William’s gentle eyes, Qu Qiangwei felt they were so incisively sharp that they could easily see through the thoughts in her heart. Under that gaze, she had no secrets at all!
With clenched teeth, Qu Qiangwei stared straight at William and said, "Yes, I like you, so what?"
Although William had emigrated, she had always kept in touch with him and even often went abroad to find him!
Upon hearing Qu Qiangwei’s admission, William laughed, a laugh full of joy and triumph!
"William, what are you laughing at, what’s so funny? I just like you, so what?"
"Nothing really, except that I don’t like you!" William said cheerfully, "Not at all!"
Fury slowly rose in Qu Qiangwei’s eyes, she had not expected William to reject her so outright!
"You..."
"Feeling angry, feeling sad, right?" William’s smile grew thicker, "But that’s useless, I just don’t like you, not at all!"
With that, William burst out laughing.
Watching William’s smug expression, the anger in Qu Qiangwei’s eyes intensified, "Qiu Ruoxi doesn’t like you either, she just sees you as her cousin, and she’s already married!"
"You will never be able to marry Qiu Ruoxi in this lifetime, never truly become a member of the Xiahou family, never inherit everything from the Xiahou family!"
Upon hearing Qu Qiangwei’s venomous words, a flash of gentle fury crossed Luo Weilian’s face, but it vanished instantly as he stared intently at Qu Qiangwei.
Feeling the sudden intensity of Luo Weilian’s gaze, Qu Qiangwei’s heart trembled violently, yet she continued, "What, did I hit a nerve?"
The next moment, under Qu Qiangwei’s watchful eyes, Luo Weilian took a step toward her.
Seeing Luo Weilian approaching her, a panicked expression appeared on Qu Qiangwei’s angry face, "What... what are you going to do?"
No sooner had Qu Qiangwei finished speaking than Luo Weilian walked up to her, somewhat frivolously lifting her chin with his hand!
"Luo... Luo Weilian, you... don’t mess around..."
Then, under Qu Qiangwei’s panicked gaze, Luo Weilian slowly bent down.
Seeing this, Qu Qiangwei was so frightened that she immediately shut her eyes, her face becoming even more panicked, mixed with a hint of anticipation.
Qu Qiangwei had thought that Luo Weilian would kiss her, but after a long wait, the thing she had anticipated didn’t happen, and she couldn’t help but open her eyes.
Upon opening her eyes, Luo Weilian’s face immediately appeared in her view.
He was looking at her with a mocking expression!
"You really want me to kiss you, but unfortunately, I have no desire to kiss you, nor do I want to sleep with you!"
As Luo Weilian’s humiliating words echoed in her ears, tears welled up in Qu Qiangwei’s eyes, as if she felt deeply wronged!
"Luo Weilian, you bastard!"
With those words, Qu Qiangwei swung and landed a slap across Luo Weilian’s face.
Luo Weilian didn’t dodge, letting Qu Qiangwei’s slap hit him squarely on the face.
The next moment, Qu Qiangwei covered her face, crying as she got up from the chair and rushed out the door.
After Qu Qiangwei left, Luo Weilian reached up to touch the side of his face that had been slapped, "This woman is vicious!"
Just then, a light breeze suddenly spoke, "Young master, doing this will offend Miss Qu!"
Luo Weilian slowly turned to look at the breeze and said, "Uncle Qingfeng, don’t worry. This woman will be fine tomorrow. I understand her better than you!"
"Besides, what’s urgent now is Qiu Ruoxi. I can’t afford to waste time on Qu Qiangwei." Luo Weilian added emphatically, "Once I sort out my lovely and beautiful cousin, then playing with Qu Qiangwei won’t be too late!"
Qu Qiangwei is indeed a great beauty, her appearance and beauty rivaling Qiu Ruoxi’s. To say he had no thoughts about her would be a lie!
However, Luo Weilian knew clearly that he must not touch Qu Qiangwei, or else trouble would ensue!
That’s why he provoked Qu Qiangwei, and even when Qu Qiangwei slapped him, he didn’t dodge; that was the reason.
All roads were still open, none were blocked!
Hearing Luo Weilian’s words, Qingfeng didn’t say anything more, knowing his young master better than anyone!
He trusted that Luo Weilian knew where to draw the line in everything he did.
"Uncle Qingfeng, is this Ye Xunhuan very powerful?" Luo Weilian put away his gentle demeanor and asked with a serious face.
"Very powerful, I’m no match for him!"
"Then let Uncle Ming Yue come over too!" Luo Weilian’s eyes flashed with a fierce intent, "Those who block my path, I’ll show no mercy!"
