Although Lu Wang Chen’s sudden punch caught Qin Chu off guard, at the moment of danger, he still subconsciously raised his hand and barely blocked Lu Wang Chen’s punch. However, the punch he received was not gentle at all. He felt as if his jaw was about to be dislodged as a hint of fishy, sweet taste spread through his mouth.
He stumbled a little.
In a fluster, Qin Chu grabbed the table’s edge in his hand to prevent himself from falling down embarrassingly.
When he could barely steady himself, he raised his eyes to glare viciously at Lu Wang Chen. The veins on his hand popped out as he gripped the table.
He said raspily, “Lu Wang Chen, you fucking….”
Evidently, the person who was punched was fuming.
For the past few days, no one but Qin Chu knew what kind of torture and torment he was suffering inside.
First of all, it was as if Mo Mo suddenly became a different person.
In front of his own mother, she said something about not wanting to marry him anymore and not liking him anymore.
He thought that this was just a new way of Mo Mo’s loosening the reins only to grasp them better. <sup>[1]</sup> However, when he went back to look for her, he saw Mo Mo and Lu Wang Chen being intimate with one another, which caused a stir in his heart.
Later he continued to push his luck.
He couldn’t believe that Mo Mo, who had loved him so much, would leave him to be in the arms of another man.
But…
He waited for a long time. However, Mo Mo didn’t bow down to him, request reconciliation, and give him an explanation.
And then, Mo Mo finally showed up, only for him to find Mo Mo fooling around with Ji Heng Yu. Moreover, he heard Mo Mo promise Ji Heng Yu that she would leave Shangcheng?
This caused him to finally begin to panic.
But in Qin Chu’s mind, he wasn’t willing to admit that Mo Mo would not stand on the same spot and wait for him, let alone look back.
Shortly after that, he discovered the truth. He found out about the true nature of Qi Yan, the fact that Mo Mo was seriously ill and dying, and the fact that he was in love with Mo Mo…
But Mo Mo is together with another man.
Looking back, he was really so stupid to ask the three of them to keep watch of Mo Mo for him and wished he could travel back in time and slap himself.
He thought of how Mo Mo would later tell them she liked them, treat them as well as she treated him in the past, become closer to them, and even plan to marry one of them and bear them children when she recovered from her illness or before her life inevitably came to an end.
Seeing the three men who would not let him near them stung his eyes.
A fire was set aflame in Qin Chu’s chest, and his whole heart seemed to be thrown into the sea of fire. He was so angry that he was about to lose his mind from the humiliation he had just suffered, plus the jealousy he had felt over the past few days.
But at the same time, he knew very well that he could not win against Lu Wang Chen, who had come out of the army.
Not to mention the fact that there were three of them in front of him today!
Considering the harsh reality, even if the fight hadn’t happened, he was about to suffer from internal injuries due to his pent-up emotions.
Jing Qian coldly glanced at the two. A terrifying expression appeared on his usual gentle and harmless face. “Get out and fight if you want to. Don’t make a scene in Mo Mo’s ward.”
Lu Wang Chen’s tense muscles stiffened. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the silent Xiang Yi Mo, whose eyes were closed. Despite his displeasure, he still obediently exercised restraint.
Qin Chu froze for a few seconds and immediately let out a sigh of relief. But after sighing, his resentment grew. He looked at Xiang Yi Mo, who was still unconscious on the hospital bed, and his heart ached even more.
In the hospital ward, silence returned. However, it became eerily quiet, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Although the open fire was suppressed, the hidden fire was burning with desire and was not quelled by the tranquility on the surface.
<sup>[1]</sup> 欲擒故纵(yùqíngùzòng)- To loosen the reins only to grasp them better./Leave somebody at large so that it is better to apprehend him. It means to deliberately make one person relax and make him lower his guard before having better control of him.
