Chapter 104: Wasn't the behavior obvious enough?
"They hit your people, but they're just servants. So what if they hit you? You beat my Ting'er like that, so you have to take responsibility. If you come with me to my mansion to apologize and treat her, I can pretend this never happened!" Liu Yancheng threatened Liu Ruxuan.
Liu Ruxuan smiled slightly: "Mr. Liu, an apology is impossible. I did nothing wrong."
As soon as Liu Ruxuan finished speaking, Liu Yancheng made his move: his right hand, imbued with a powerful internal force, struck Liu Ruxuan. Liu Ruxuan quickly retaliated, but due to the pressure she was still under, her strength was far less than before. Their palms met, separated by a gauze curtain, which instantly shattered under the pressure of the internal force.
With a slight exertion, Liu Yancheng defeated Liu Ruxuan. She took a few steps back and stood weakly opposite Liu Yancheng.
"Hmph, Goddess Ruxue, today I'll see just who you are!" Liu Yancheng said, and attacked again. Liu Ruxuan struggled to dodge each of Liu Yancheng's moves.
Liu Yancheng focused his attacks on Liu Ruxuan's face, aiming to tear off her veil. Liu Ruxuan consistently dodged Liu Yancheng's moves, causing Liu Yancheng to become somewhat agitated. He instantly unleashed all his oppressive power.
Liu Ruxuan almost lost her balance. Liu Yancheng seized the opportunity and ripped off Liu Ruxuan's veil, startling her.
Before Liu Yancheng could even see Liu Ruxuan's face, a long white silk ribbon blocked his view again. The next second, Liu Ruxuan fell into a warm embrace. Looking up, she saw it was Dugu Juechen, and she instantly felt relieved. In Dugu Juechen's arms, the oppressive aura from before seemed to evaporate, completely disappearing.
The white silk curtain fell, revealing Liu Ruxuan with her back to Liu Yancheng, being held in a man's arms. Liu Yancheng saw Dugu Juechen and calmly said, "Master Gong."
“General Liu,” Dugu Juechen said in a cold voice.
"Master Gong, do you also want to interfere in the affairs of Yongrentang?" Liu Yancheng was very dissatisfied with Dugu Juechen's actions.
"I don't care." Dugu Juechen simply looked at Liu Yancheng quietly.
"Then what is this...?" Liu Yancheng frowned.
"I don't care about Yongrentang's affairs, nor do I want to, but I'm determined to handle Shennv Ruxue's matter." Dugu Juechen's gaze shifted from calm to sharp, making Liu Yancheng feel a little intimidated. Dugu Juechen's aura was definitely not something a mere advisor could possess. Liu Yancheng thought to himself.
"Could it be that Master Gong has feelings for her?!" Liu Yancheng deliberately avoided Dugu Juechen's gaze.
"Isn't my behavior obvious enough?" Dugu Juechen stared intently at Liu Yancheng.
Seeing that Liu Ruxuan was obediently staying in Dugu Juechen's arms without moving, Liu Yancheng could be considered to have tacitly agreed with Dugu Juechen's words.
“Since she is Master Gong’s woman, I will not pursue this matter this time. I hope Miss Ruxue will not be too arrogant in the future!” Liu Yancheng finished speaking and walked out, but then he heard Dugu Juechen’s cold and domineering voice: “My woman is my responsibility to discipline her. It is not for others to point fingers at her!”
Liu Yancheng listened without saying anything more and left directly.
Liu Ruxuan was a little weak from the pressure of Liu Yancheng's aura and leaned against Dugu Juechen's chest. Dugu Juechen noticed Liu Ruxuan's condition, so he put his hand on her back and slowly channeled spiritual energy into her.
Liu Ruxuan was enjoying the satisfying feeling of spiritual energy filling her entire body when she suddenly heard a voice from above: "Xuan'er, are you feeling better?"
Liu Ruxuan then remembered that she was still lying blankly in his arms, so she stepped back and said, "Um... Master Gong, thank you."
"Silly girl, what's our relationship? Why are you thanking me?" Dugu Juechen's lips curled up slightly.
