Chapter 14: Chapter 14: Protecting You for a Lifetime
"Holy crap! Is this a kung fu movie? Even in a martial arts film, you wouldn't see something this incredible, right!?"
"This is what a true kung fu master looks like, I'm practically worshipping him now!"
"You should find a boyfriend who's this strong and mighty."
"It's hopeless, I'm completely smitten by him, what am I supposed to do now that I'm poisoned by this man…"
Both men and women in the bar had looks of admiration, Ye Xuan's strength had shocked everyone.
Gulp!
Li Hai swallowed hard, his body drenched in cold sweat.
He had never imagined someone could fight like this. Had he known this guy was such a freak, he would never have offended him!
And the man in the floral shirt was completely petrified by fear.
Looking at the gangsters laid out on the ground, he felt a chill shoot up from the soles of his feet to his forehead!
Even a fool could understand that they had messed with the wrong person.
"Li... Brother Li, this guy is all alone. Make a call and get some more brothers over here. I don't believe he can take us all!"
The man in the floral shirt, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness, urged Li Hai quickly.
He knew that Li Hai ran a security company that employed several retired special forces soldiers. As long as Li Hai called for backup, this kid wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.
"Shut your mouth! Slap—"
Li Hai snapped angrily, turning around and slapping the man in the floral shirt to the ground.
Damn it, if it wasn't because of you, why would I ever have to face such a fierce person? This guy still hadn't grasped the situation; what an idiot!
Li Hai looked at Ye Xuan with a respectful and fearful expression: "Big… Big Brother, I was wrong! It was my fault for being blind to Mount Tai and offending you. Please show mercy and let my brothers go."
He didn't care about face anymore, this dreadful person was not someone he could afford to offend. Even the forces behind him would try to curry favor.
"In this world, apologies are the cheapest thing!"
Ye Xuan slowly walked towards him, his smile chilling little by little.
"You should not have, of all things, set your sights on my wife! If I were an ordinary man, falling into your hands, would you spare me and apologize? You would only cripple me and humiliate my wife! Thus, your apologies are worthless to me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan lunged forward, his leg whipping out in a powerful blow that struck Li Hai.
Bang!
Li Hai's body flew through the air, hit the wall, and then crashed to the ground, several of his ribs broken.
"Did I say you could leave?"
An indifferent voice rang out, and a figure in the crowd trying to sneak away suddenly stiffened.
"Big Brother... no, Grandpa! I was wrong, I was wrong! Please forgive me."
The man in the floral shirt trembled as he fell to his knees, kowtowing desperately to Ye Xuan.
"I was wrong," he kept repeating, as a smell of urine emanated from his crotch; he had been scared to the point of wetting his pants!
This scene was met with a round of mocking laughter in the bar.
Then, the gazes once again turned to the tall and confident young figure in the center.
The men had looks of admiration and excitement; one man instantly knocking out a dozen people, displaying such formidable and fearsome combat power, was definitely a first-time sight in their lives!
Going back and boasting about it to their friends would be a matter of great pride.
The women were all swooning, staring at Ye Xuan in the center. They felt that this man was simply too domineering; this was what a real man looked like!
Taking a glance at the floral-shirted man kneeling and begging for mercy on the ground, a playful smile surfaced at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth, and not a thread of pity could be seen in his eyes.
"I hope you can survive tonight."
Leaving behind those words, Ye Xuan pulled up Lin Tong, who stood beside him looking utterly astonished, and walked toward the bar's exit.
Watching Ye Xuan leave, joy erupted on Floral Shirt's face. But just then, a chilling voice came through: "Grab him for me!"
Li Hai was helped to his feet, reverence in his glance towards the receding silhouette of Ye Xuan, then he turned, brimming with rage, towards Floral Shirt.
A tremor ran through Floral Shirt, his face turning ashen; he knew he was thoroughly ruined.
...
Once outside the bar, Lin Tong didn't speak. She just stared at Ye Xuan with wide eyes, filled with curiosity.
She felt increasingly that she couldn't see through the man before her. His mysteriousness was beyond her imagination!
"Ah, it seems being handsome is also a problem. I've tried to restrain my charm, but wherever I go, I'm still met with envy, jealousy, and hatred!"
Ye Xuan scratched his head, looking up to the sky with a face of 'self-reproach' and sighed.
Lin Tong was speechless.
Suddenly, Ye Xuan leaned in towards Lin Tong, flashing a shy smile: "Wife, even though I know my charm is great, if you keep staring at me like this, I'll get embarrassed."
Lin Tong twitched the corner of her mouth!
Can this guy have any shame?
She quickened her pace with a cold face.
But she was somewhat curious!
Initially, Ye Xuan appeared scruffy and insignificant to her, yet he was arrogant enough to disregard Song Shaopeng and dominantly snatch her away from him.
Just now he had single-handedly confronted a dozen men, his composure, his domineering aura, as prideful as an emperor who ruled over the world!
But now, he was again so narcissistic and sloppy!
Lin Tong couldn't help but wonder, which one was the real him?
This man seemed to be enveloped in too many mysteries.
Standing next to the car, Lin Tong gazed absently at the street ahead, suddenly unsure of where to drive, feeling somewhat lost.
Go home?
The Lin Family, did she still belong there? She was truly fed up with that place filled with insincerity and pretense!
"Hehe, they're the real family of three, what am I even considered?"
Lin Tong laughed at herself, finding no place of peace in this vast world.
As Lin Tong's sorrow began to swell, a warm and broad arm wrapped around her waist: "Wife, from now on, I am your Knight, and I'm willing to protect you for a lifetime!"
At Ye Xuan's words, Lin Tong's heart trembled fiercely!
Looking up at Ye Xuan, her gaze softened.
The two leaned against the car, silent, yet experiencing an unprecedented sense of peace and warmth.
A faint smile played on the corners of Lin Tong's mouth, feeling truly content, as if with this man by her side, she would fear nothing, not even if the sky fell down!
Lin Tong was about to open the car door.
But she had drunk quite a bit tonight and was wearing high heels; turning too abruptly, she lost her balance and toppled to the side.
