Chapter 1031: Chapter 611: Critical Hit from a Love Rival—Helping You Deal with That Jerk (Part 2)Inside the apartment

As the security door closed, the smell of hot pot still lingered in the air. The three of them stood inside, and the atmosphere inexplicably turned strange.

”Second Boss, Boss Yun, please have a seat first, I’ll tidy up a bit.” Ruan Mengxi had greasy hands and couldn’t entertain the guests.

Qi Zeyan glanced at the dining table, noticing flowers and wine. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone wearing his slippers, and he instantly felt extremely displeased.

”I’ll open the window to air it out a bit,” Yun Hezhi said.

The room was heated, so the smell of hot pot would definitely linger for a long time.

”Sure.” Ruan Mengxi’s voice came from the kitchen.

Qi Zeyan was thinking about how to deal with the man in front of him. After all, he and Ruan Mengxi were nothing at the moment—at most, he was her work supervisor, and not even the main boss.

To his surprise, Yun Hezhi gestured for him to follow him to the window, clearly inviting him to talk.

As they reached the window, Qi Zeyan took a closer look at him. He was excessively handsome, not like a typical guy, and even his hands didn’t seem like a man’s hands should.

Unexpectedly, after opening the window, Yun Hezhi’s first words completely overturned Qi Zeyan’s impression of him:

”Mr. Qi, you must be the one Xixi secretly admired, right?”

The one...

The rotten man she spoke of!

Qi Zeyan didn’t expect him to be so direct. As he looked at him, his gaze became even deeper.

Yun Hezhi, having once been booed off stage during a performance, wasn’t afraid of facing the fierce and deepening gaze from Qi Zeyan.

”And... you like her now.”

A definitive statement, without a trace of doubt.

Qi Zeyan wasn’t embarrassed by having his feelings exposed; he just hadn’t expected someone he’d met twice to see through everything.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

”It seems you’re a straightforward person.” Qi Zeyan adopted his negotiating demeanor from business, ”Then you should also know that no matter what you do, it might not be useful.”

Yun Hezhi laughed, ”Xixi liked you, but that’s in the past. Why are you so confident she still has feelings for you?”

”And in what capacity are you saying this to me now?”

”In her heart, you’re probably nothing, and even if I want to compete with you fairly, you wouldn’t have the opportunity.”

”Knowing one’s limits, doing futile things, this advice is more suitable for you.”

...

Oh my—

Qi Zeyan had originally come to give this wild crane a show of force. He was still thinking that since this person was a friend of Ruan Mengxi and Tang Wan, he should choose his words carefully. Unexpectedly, before he could even assert himself, he was already hit hard by Yun Hezhi’s words.

And the harshest part was yet to come...

”They say a good horse never turns back to graze on old grass. Mr. Qi, you are surely the same, right? Having rejected her once, why bother coming back to disturb her?”

”Besides, you share mutual friends; if Teacher Tang knew about this, it would likely put her in a difficult position.”

”We’re all adults. When it comes to feelings, you need to know how to both hold on and let go.”

”I can see you’re anxious and rushed over likely to settle scores with me, but with your current status and position, even if I were dating her, you wouldn’t have the qualification to say anything about it. You’d be better off acting like a man and wishing for her happiness.”

Qi Zeyan was completely stunned...

This man, while at the Jiang Family, seemed inarticulate; how did he suddenly become so sleek and eloquent?

His aggression was so strong?

Was he pretending all along?

Qi Zeyan’s temper was instantly provoked, wishing he could jump up and smash a slam dunk on his head.

Yun Hezhi seemed to see through his thoughts, ”Are you planning to beat me up now?”

”Yes!” Qi Zeyan didn’t hold back.

Not only did he want to hit him, but he also wanted to kick him a couple of times.

His straightforward admission made Yun Hezhi smile, ”You can try hitting me, it’d be better if Xixi sees it. If I act pathetic and weak, you might just lose all favor in her eyes.”

”...”

What the hell?

Isn’t this the kind of thing those supporting female characters love to do in TV dramas?

Pretending to be pitiful and pathetic!

This guy... such a green tea!
