Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

Chapter 224: Untitled

“B*tch!” With a look that could kill, the man ruthlessly lunged forward and pulled her hair. He easily got a hold of it since it was relatively long and unbound.

“Be careful, Brother Jingxuan!” Gu Feiruo yelled to him in concern.

Ye Erruo’s scalp hurt badly from all that tugging. Since Lin Jingxuan was being brutal with her, she saw no point in going easy on him. She went on viciously slamming her elbow into his chest, aiming her attack at his vulnerable, wounded spot.

“Brother Jingxuan!” cried his fiancée in alarm.

Lin Jingxuan, however, was very vigilant this time. After succumbing in her hands twice—getting stabbed by her previously and slapped by her earlier—he knew how nimble the woman was. Thus, how could he possibly let her have her way for the third time?

He swiftly reacted by blocking the move with his arm. His eyes glinted with spine-chilling frostiness that stemmed from the knowledge that the woman had concentrated her attack on his heart. It was where he was suffering from a fatal injury.

She let out a hiss of pain suddenly. It felt as though her scalp was about to be ripped out.

“Lin Jingxuan, you are a good-for-nothing.”

“And you, Ye Erruo, are a slut. We’re no better than each other.”

He then pulled her hair even more forcefully than before, as though he had every intention of ripping it from her head.

“Let go.” The woman clenched her teeth as she threw punches at his head.

“Young Master, Young Madam...”

“Be careful.”

“Move slowly, Young Master.”

The servants followed the two of them in fear as they tried to dissolve the fight. Alas, they were helpless.

“Slut, you did it on purpose, huh? You deliberately kicked me out of the company, didn’t you?”

Gritting her teeth in determination, Ye Erruo reached over for the pair of scissors behind him when they moved back toward the flower stand during their scuffle. She then raised them high in a threatening move to stab him.

The aghast man hastily relinquished his grip on her hair. In an instant, a wisp of long hair floated to the ground, snipped off from her head.

Her eyes flashed with malice as she scoffed, “Yeah, I did it on purpose. What about it? Snatch it back if you have the guts, you useless bum.”

Her provoking words sent him flying into a thunderous rage. All of a sudden, he picked up the flower stand beside him and made an abrupt move to throw it at her. The woman deftly launched her counter-attack at once.

His face turned sheet-white in pain and the flower rack crashed to the ground.

Ye Erruo hurriedly backed away from him toward safety.

“Brother Jingxuan!” Gu Feirou let out a shriek before yelling to the servants, “Hurry! Get a doctor!” She then swiftly stepped forward to hold him up, only to see bright red blood oozing out of his chest.

The splotch of red on his grey long-sleeved flannel shirt looked particularly conspicuous.

“Young Master!” The panicked servants hastily rushed off to call a doctor.

At that moment, Mo Jiangye came walking from a long corridor in the back. The moment he spotted Lin Jingxuan and sensed the unusual tension in the hall, he strode over speedily at once.

“Ye Erruo, you’ve already tried killing Brother Jingxuan once, yet you want to kill him a second time?” Gu Feirou’s gaze glowed with viciousness as she stealthily reached for the pair of scissors on the floor.

Naturally, Ye Erruo spotted that small movement of hers but she spoke nothing of it.

“All of you, go grab her!” she ordered as she retreated to a spot far away from the other woman lest she went bonkers and tried to harm her.

“Second Young Master.”

“Second Young Master.” The sound of flurried footsteps could be heard behind him along with the servants’ echoing greetings.

“What happened?” He turned his wife around to face him as soon as he reached her side.

The woman appeared to be in a slightly disheveled state. Her hair was in disarray, and loose, broken strands were sticking to her clothes at the shoulder area. The spot where she was missing a wisp of hair looked especially glaring as well.

Instantly, his face darkened.
