Chapter 518 - You Care About Me, Don't You?

Xiao Yunyun had thought that Young Master Zhong was an aggressive man. However, she saw the fear in his pupils at that moment.

He looked like a sheep in the pen suddenly noticing a ferocious wolf from the grassland.

Xiao Yunyun wondered, "What is making Mr. Zhong cower?"

She looked over and saw the tall Shen Yuechuan striding at a rapid pace toward them.

Shen Yuechuan drew Xiao Yunyun's attention in an instant.

It surprised Xiao Yunyun that Shen Yuechuan showed up, and the expression on his face at that moment surprised her even more.

In her eyes, Shen Yuechuan had always stayed calm with a smile even when faced with his enemies, which had made it hard for those who didn't know him well to tell whether he was fearless or he was hiding his fear.

However, she could only see his wrath on his gloomy face, not even trying to feign a smile at that moment.

He looked like an angry lion that had been awakened from a deep sleep. It seemed that there was a coming storm that could destroy the entire world in his dark eyes.

Shen Yuechuan had usually looked handsome and suave but never ferocious.

However, the way Shen Yuechuan looked at the moment could only make others think of fierceness instead of the one he used to be.

Xiao Yunyun felt scared since she had never seen him like that, while Young Master Zhong's legs had nearly gone limp because he knew Shen Yuechuan better than her.

It was known to all that Shen Yuechuan was like Lu Boyan's spokesman; his words had the same weight as Lu Boyan's in the company.

Many people preferred to talk business with Shen Yuechuan because they thought him to be easygoing.

However, only after talking with him did they find that Shen Yuechuan was a strong-minded man who could never be easily persuaded, although he was also an easygoing man who always kept smiling.

Beyond their expectations, Shen Yuechuan was as formidable as Lu Boyan.

They would give up discussing cooperation with Lu Boyan whenever they noticed his displeasure.

Because they knew that they would end up losing once they angered Lu Boyan, even if they reached a deal.

By contrast, Shen Yuechuan's smile was more like a cover that could not only perfectly hide his real feelings but also give others a false impression that he was very happy, which could make them suffer a lot without a warning.

It was the first time Young Master Zhong had seen Shen Yuechuan's naked anger on his face, ever since he met him five years before.

Young Master Zhong's fear of Shen Yuechuan sobered him up. He could only think to himself, "I found his Achilles' heel. He cares about Xiao Yunyun! Don't be afraid!"

"Zhong Lue, let her go!" There came Shen Yuechuan's angry voice, although he was still far away from them.

Young Master Zhong grabbed Xiao Yunyun's hands as if holding a life-saving straw. "What if I don't?"

Xiao Yunyun felt pain in her wrists. She frowned and stepped hard on Young Master Zhong's toe with her heel.

"Ow—" Young Master Zhong let out a cry and unconsciously released Xiao Yunyun because of the pain in his toe. Xiao Yunyun took a few steps back and finally got rid of him, then she cast a disdainful look at him.

"Come here!" said Shen Yuechuan with a less murderous look.

Xiao Yunyun replied "oh" and ran behind Shen Yuechuan obediently, because she needed to rely on him, not to argue with him at that moment.

Shen Yuechuan approached them with a more relaxed look and steps; however, they could still feel a sense of oppression.

Zhong Lue stepped backward unconsciously, but his legs were so weak that he could hardly stand. In the end, Shen Yuechuan grabbed a hold of his collar.

Shen Yuechuan slowly asked, "Zhong Lue, you must have a death wish, don't you?"

Zhong Lue stared at Shen Yuechuan in horror, although he hated himself for fearing him.

He thought that he shouldn't have feared Shen Yuechuan because he came from a well-known family.

"Shen Yuechuan, how dare you say that to me? It is you who must have a death wish!" Zhong Lue managed to say that and looked into Shen Yuechuan's eyes with all his courage.

Shen Yuechuan sneered as if he had heard a ridiculous joke.

That was what Zhong Lue had long hated. He hated that Shen Yuechuan had always looked confident, as if he would succeed as long as he wanted, although he had no one to depend on.

He particularly hated that Shen Yuechuan's inborn confidence had fascinated some girls who kept saying that he was more than handsome.

He thought to himself, "Xiao Yunyun must be obsessed with Shen Yuechuan's feigned confidence!"

With that, Zhong Lue became angrier. He rolled up his sleeves and rushed toward Shen Yuechuan. "I want to teach you a lesson just now! You asked for it!"

Zhong Lue's fierce offensive shocked Xiao Yunyun. She pulled Shen Yuechuan's sleeve and said, "Be careful." She didn't want Shen Yuechuan to be hurt because the mindless Zhong Lue looked strong.

Shen Yuechuan turned his head and looked at Xiao Yunyun with a smile. "You care about me, don't you? You can't deny it this time."

Xiao Yunyun looked up at the ceiling, not knowing what to say.

She wondered, "Why is he in the mood to ask if I care about him at this moment?"

"Well, I must admit I do care about him."

"Watch out!" screamed Xiao Yunyun when she found that Zhong Lue was about to punch Shen Yuechuan in the face.

Shen Yuechuan had already noticed Zhong Lue's fist. Seeing Xiao Yunyun's anxious face, he smiled and dodged with her in his arms. Then he pressed her shoulders and said, "Stay here."

Shen Yuechuan grabbed Zhong Lue's wrist before the punch landed, just as he finished speaking. "Ah!" shouted Zhong Lue as his offensive slacked off.

"Zhong Lue, aren't you good at fighting?" said Shen Yuechuan with a sneer.

As expected, Zhong Lue couldn't stand that kind of provocation.

"I need to teach people like you a lesson!" Zhong Lue rushed toward him. "Shen Yuechuan, I wish you hadn't provoked me!"

Shen Yuechuan gave him a cold smile. "What a coincidence. Listen, I'm not the person who can be offended!"

With that, the two red-blooded young men began to punch and kick each other.

Zhong Lue, who was full of brute strength, attacked Shen Yuechuan like crazy, as if he were determined to kill his sworn enemy.

Shen Yuechuan was punched in the belly as he was wondering, "I know that Zhong Lue has practiced Sanda. But why is this mindless brute so strong?"

"F*ck!"

"It really hurts."

Shen Yuechuan frowned subconsciously.

Xiao Yunyun noticed that and yelled with anxiety, "Shen Yuechuan!"

Only then did Shen Yuechuan realize that the girl he loved was watching them. He thought to himself, "She will look down upon me if I lose to a strong but mindless guy, and she will think that I'm weak."

"I'm not going to lose!"

Zhong Lue thought that he had gained the upper hand. He smiled triumphantly and rushed toward Shen Yuechuan with his fists again.

Shen Yuechuan dodged Zhong Lue's foot after relaxing his wrists and punched him back with lightning speed.

Xiao Yunyun could tell that Shen Yuechuan didn't punch with all his strength from his relaxed face and movements.

However, Zhong Lue let out a husky groan after a punch that had almost distorted his face.

"Shen Yuechuan!" Zhong Lue glared at Shen Yuechuan in disbelief. "Do you know who I am?" It didn't surprise him that Shen Yuechuan dared to fight with him because he knew that Lu Boyan had his back.

However, Zhong Lue had never expected that Shen Yuechuan would hit him that hard since Shen Yuechuan's behavior would not only infuriate the Zhong Family but also harm the cooperation between them and Lu Enterprises.

Lu Enterprises would suffer a loss if a business partner like the Zhong Family was lost, since Lu Boyan didn't have absolute power, although he was honored in the business circles.

With that, Zhong Lue shouted, "Shen Yuechuan, believe it or not, Lu Enterprises will fire you right now as long as I ask them to!"

Shen Yuechuan shrugged indifferently. "I'll teach you a lesson before that!"

With that, Shen Yuechuan became more fearless and kept punching Zhong Lue in his vulnerable parts intentionally.

Zhong Lue managed to bear those punches in the beginning. However, he ended up in howls as he couldn't keep up with Shen Yuechuan's agility and speed.

In the end, Xiao Yunyun rushed over to pull Shen Yuechuan away. "Stop. You could kill him."

Shen Yuechuan cast a cold look at Zhong Lue. "He should be thankful that he didn't get to touch you."

Zhong Lue couldn't reconcile himself to failure, and those words made him even angrier. At that very moment, a hotel waiter passed by with a delicate fruit knife on the tray while he was on his way to serve the guests upstairs.

Zhong Lue suddenly grabbed the fruit knife and rushed toward Shen Yuechuan; a murderous look flashed across his scarlet eyes.

Xiao Yunyun subconsciously opened her arms and stood in front of Shen Yuechuan. "Watch out!"

"Xiao Yunyun, you silly girl!"

Shen Yuechuan thought he could have stopped Zhong Lue, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yunyun would suddenly rush forward to protect him, making things worse for him.

Shen Yuechuan held Xiao Yunyun and dodged without thinking before Zhong Lue could stab her with the knife. However, he failed to dodge the knife himself, and blood welled from the gash in his hand as a result.

Xiao Yunyun panicked when she stared at Shen Yuechuan's wound.

She had witnessed scenes a hundred times bloodier than that when she worked shifts in the emergency room and as an assistant in the operating room.

However, it was the first time she was clueless about what to do when faced with a wounded person.
