Chapter 16 My Younger Brother?_1

Meng Xi'er was trembling like a leaf in the wind, and when Lu Yebai pinned her against the wall by her shoulders, she was truly frightened to the point of tears.

She feared his hand reaching out for her again, this time he would no doubt show no mercy.

She wanted to scream, yet didn't dare to. Lu Yebai's gloomy face was directly in front of her, she didn't even know whether she should continue to explain to him.

Meng Xi'er thought, no matter what she said, Lu Yebai probably wouldn't believe her...

With this thought, a hint of despair silently crept into her heart.

Just like when she was in King's private room, she simply couldn't count on him.

Lu Yebai remained silent, without saying a word. His gaze fell on the side of Meng Xi'er's face, which although treated with cold spray at the hospital, was still swollen and red. The intensity of the slap wouldn't fade for at least four to five days.

Five years ago, she would never have dreamed that one day she would be fearful of Lu Yebai to such an extent.

She liked him so much. Her cautious attempts to please him, her innocent confessions, her devoted love, it all seemed like it happened just yesterday.

She once loved him so hopelessly.

Her lips tightly clenched, her eyes revealing a touch of unease due to fear, she didn't dare to breathe.

Lu Yebai's gaze fell on her, no one could tell what he was thinking. His expression was indifferent, yet cold.

Just like his fingers.

Bringing her an intangible fear.

It was uncertain how much time had passed, could be a few minutes, or a few seconds, then Lu Yebai finally took a step back.

He withdrew his hand and lightly warned, "Stay away from Qingchuan."

"..." Meng Xi'er was slightly stunned, "What?"

She never imagined that he would bring up Lu Qingchuan.

Lu Yebai looked at her with a hint of mockery.

"You couldn't seduce me, so you went to seduce my younger brother? Meng Xi'er, one should know limitation. " The slight mockery in his eyes made Meng Xi'er feel a chill, "Do you think you're worthy of him now?"

The contempt and disdain in his words made Meng Xi'er completely stiffen up.

After a long while, she finally regained her senses, and subconsciously explained, "Qingchuan and I aren't what you think we are!" She was a bit angry, not because of being depicted like that, but because the gentle Lu Qingchuan was being spoken of in this way by Lu Yebai.

"We are friends." Meng Xi'er emphasized her tone while explaining to Lu Yebai, "And, the person I like is…"

"I don't want you to get close to him anymore." Lu Yebai interrupted her, "I don't want any of the Lu Family to be emotionally entangled with you! Do you understand?"

"..." Meng Xi'er opened her mouth, but after a long pause, she slowly clenched her lips.
