17. How Dare You Slap Her

Translator: Snowball

With her vision blurry with tears, though Qu Wan couldn’t see Ling Mubai’s face clearly, she instantly recognized the voice that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

As lofty as before, he looked at what was happening in the box indifferently without any emotional fluctuation.

The moment Qu Wan closed her eyes, tears streamed down her cheeks. She’d rather be raped by this bastard than have Ling Mubai see her like this!

“Mr. Ling? What brings you here?” Getting out of the sofa, Mr. Chen put on a flattering look.

“Mr. Chen, don’t you think it’s too much to bully a woman like this on my turf?” Ling Mubai said coolly.

Ling Mubai wasn’t a busybody and he was always indifferent to people, so Mr. Chen didn’t feel anything wrong with the manner he spoke to him.

The only thing puzzled him was that Ling Mubai had seen him bullying women here before, but he didn’t say a word. How come he spoke for this woman?

Mr. Chen couldn’t help but glance back at Qu Wan. “Mr. Ling, is she your lady?”

“No!” Ling Mubai answered coldly.

Hearing that, Mr. Chen took a sigh of relief. “Mr. Ling, this woman was so unappreciative that she even attacked me, so I’m going to teach her a good lesson!”

“I told you not to make trouble on my turf!” Ling Mubai repeated with emphasis.

Mr. Chen was aware that he was a little impatient. Tough he was reluctant to let go of Qu Wan, he didn’t dare provoke Ling Mubai.

“B*tch, don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, you’ll know what I’m gonna do with you!” he shot an angry glare at Qu Wan with cursing words.

After that, Mr. Chen left with his men.

Ling Mubai frowned when he saw Qu Wan’s clothes in disarray. “He has gone. You’d better leave asap!” he said coldly.

Managing to hold back her tears, Qu Wan tried to tie up her clothes. However, as they were already worn out, she couldn’t cover herself up.

Finally she gave up the effort. Wiping the blood off the corner of her mouth, she rose to her feet and walked out.

When she walked past Ling Mubai, the latter said ruthlessly, “Qu Wan, a woman should have her bottom line. I hope you know what self-respect is!”

Hearing the obvious sarcasm in his voice, Qu Wan was irritated and she suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard across his face.

Caught off guard, Ling Mubai didn’t dodge until Qu Wan’s palm landed on his face.

Qu Wan exerted so much strength that she felt her palm go numb. When she was about to turn to leave, Ling Mubai seized her by the wrist. “How can you leave without even feeling guilty after you slapped someone?”

Feeling a burning pain in his face, Ling Mubai couldn’t hold his anger anymore. He helped her out just now, but instead of expressing gratitude to him, this woman bit the hand that fed her! “She thought I didn’t dare do anything to her, didn’t she?”

He suddenly pulled her hard into his arms. When he raised her chin with his hand and met her eyes, he saw strong hatred in them.

Ling Mubai was surprised to see her resentful look. “This woman betrayed me, but how come she seems to hate me that much?”

He applied more stress on her chin until her fair skin turned red. However, gritting her teeth, Qu Wan didn’t utter a sound.

No matter how she punched and kicked him, Ling Mubai showed no intent to let go of her.

“Bang!”

At this point, the door of the box was kicked open again and Wang Zicheng showed his face with a smile. “Hey, Mr. Ling!”

Wang Zicheng got a little drunk as well. When he found that Qu Wan had been out for a long time, he came out to look for her. However, instead of finding her, he ran into Ling Mubai, who was with a woman in the box.

“Humph! This guy once satirized me for fooling around with women, but look what he’s doing!”

Needless to say, Wang Zicheng wouldn’t miss such a chance to give Ling Mubai back. However, when he walked in and was about to make a sarcastic remark about the latter, he suddenly froze on the spot. The woman in Ling Mubai’s arms was Qu Wan!

Wang Zicheng’s face instantly blushed with anger. “Ling Mubai, get your dirty hands off my woman!”

With that, he waved a punch and nearly knocked Ling Mubai down, which made the latter have to loosen his grip on Qu Wan.

Though he was drunk and couldn’t do his best, Wang Zicheng was still good at combat. Ling Mubai had thought that this playboy had been drained by women, but by then he found that he wasn’t as weak as the rumor had it, and actually, he was quite agile.

Being punched for a few times in a row, Ling Mubai felt pain all over with his face twisted. However, compared with the physical pain, what Wang Zicheng had said was more painful to him.

“He said Qu Wan was his?” At the thought of this, he felt his heart wrenching and couldn’t help but wave his fist, aiming at Wang Zicheng’s face.

Under the impact of his punch, Wang Zicheng took a few steps backward and almost bumped against the wall. Qu Wan immediately rushed over to support him.

Given their social status, Wang Zicheng knew it would affect their fame if someone saw them fighting and spread the rumors, so he decided to withdraw from the conflict.

However, as soon as he saw Qu Wan’s torn clothes and the finger marks on her face, he lost his temper one more time. Taking off his suit and covering Qu Wan with it, he rushed to Ling Mubai again.

“Ling Mubai, you bastard! How dare you slap her? I can’t bear even put a finger on her. How could you treat her like this!”

Out of his mind, disregarding the pain in his face and how the others might think of them, Wang Zicheng swung another punch toward Ling Mubai and the two grappled with each other at once.
