Chapter 003: The Appearance of an Incredibly Handsome Man

A tall, slender figure suddenly stepped between them, possessively wrapping his arm around Xia Yuwei’s slim waist and pulling her entirely into his embrace. “Don’t touch her. She’s my wife!”

The moment these words rang out, the entire restaurant was thrown into a frenzy of gossip. Everyone strained their ears and widened their eyes, staring at the trio.

Xia Yuwei looked up at the man holding her tightly.

Wow—an unbelievably handsome man...

He stood about six-foot-one, his figure long and lean, broad shoulders accentuating a narrow waist. Black tailored trousers hugged his long legs. His face was flawless, god-like in its perfection: thick brows, bright eyes, a straight nose, every feature radiant with youthful brilliance. At this moment, his gaze was sharp and cold as it locked on Xu Weide, like a volcano on the verge of eruption.

Xu Weide, who usually prided himself on his charm, seemed almost sleazy in comparison. His face darkened with humiliation and anger as he shouted at Xia Yuwei, “Impossible! Yuwei, how could you deceive my feelings like this!”

Xia Yuwei was speechless. So this was what it meant when the guilty party strikes first. She’d never truly witnessed it until now. Why did Xu Weide look like a spiteful, scorned woman, while she was cast as the heartless betrayer...

Lu Yichen moved Xia Yuwei behind him, and without another word, his fist swung straight for Xu Weide’s face!

A chorus of startled cries broke out around them. Caught completely off guard, Xu Weide staggered backward a few steps. A sudden warmth spread below his nose as two streaks of blood traced down past his lips. He wiped the blood furiously from his face. Never before had he suffered such indignity, losing face in front of the woman he fancied. Enraged, he tossed aside the bouquet in his hand and lunged at Lu Yichen.

“Stop fighting!”

“Go, Lu Yichen, go!”

Two female voices rang out at once, though their words were entirely at odds.

Xia Yuwei turned and saw a girl standing beside her, enjoying the spectacle with an almost malicious glee. The girl was about her height, her hair pulled up high, her forehead smooth and pale without a fringe. She had long brows, large eyes, a delicate nose, and wide mouth—her features lively and spirited. At this moment, her grin stretched from ear to ear as she waved her arms, cheering Lu Yichen on.

Heavens, this girl’s enthusiasm for adding fuel to the fire was a perfect match for the dashing man before her... Xia Yuwei felt a headache coming on.

She must be his girlfriend, right?

While she was distracted by her thoughts, Lu Yichen took a long stride forward and delivered a graceful kick, sending the charging Xu Weide sprawling to the floor.

“Care to try again?” Lu Yichen said, brimming with confidence as he taunted Xu Weide, who lay on the ground, refusing to get up. The taste for battle had just been awakened in him, and he didn’t mind exchanging a few more blows.

After all, he was a fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo—the highest level someone his age could reach—so fighting came easily to him. In truth, if it weren’t for his desire to personally protect that childhood friend of his, the so-called “old lady,” he would never have trained so hard. But she had always been a magnet for trouble, constantly dragging him into one mess after another...
