Chapter 17
As she heard Li Mubai's words, Su Qingyue froze on the spot.
'Isn't Qingcheng... Young Master Li's fiancee?
'How can he be so cold to her?... He wasn't even giving any face to Qingcheng...'
Although Su Qingyue was the Marketing Director of the Qingcheng Group, her relationship with Xiao Qingcheng wasn't that bad. They were buddies.
Even if Xiao Qingcheng never disclosed the matter regarding her marriage contract to her, she was aware of it.
Everyone was aware that Xiao Qingcheng, the infamous cold Lady President in Jinghai, and Li Mubai, the young master of the Li family had a marriage contract decided by their families.
However, she wasn't aware of Xiao Qingcheng's reluctance to her so-called marriage contract.
So, she was caught off guard by Li Mubai's attitude at the moment!
But seeing Ye Xuan who was lying on the ground almost on his last breath in a miserable state, Su Qingyue gritted her teeth and spoke, "But, Isn't Qingcheng... your fiancee?..."
"She is indeed my fiancee...
"...But she doesn't have such a big face yet!"
Li Mubai put down his teacup and lifted Su Qingyue's chin and began to size her up and said, "Do you think you have this face?"
Unlike Xiao Qingcheng's ice-cold temperament, Su Qingyue's temperament was upright with a seductive body.
She was a girl who acts majestic sometimes but was feeble.
In other words, she was majestic and adorable.
And she was extremely emotional and tender at heart.
If not, when the Ye family was destroyed five years back, she wouldn't have risked offending the big shot just because of her classmate, collecting the ashes of Ye Xuan and his parents.
"I... I..."
So, when Li Mubai lifted her chin before everyone at the moment and gazing at her face like a man appreciating a woman, Su Qingyue's face was instantly turned exceptionally crimson.
She lowered her head in embarrassment!
Su Qingyue had seen countless others give her such a look and wasn't the least bit unfamiliar with what it meant.
In the past, she was used to giving a cold shoulder, but now... after taking a look at Ye Xuan who was covered in blood on the ground, she had an inner struggle.
"Tsk, You really have such a charming face..."
Li Mubai's hands didn't let Su Qingyue's chin go and he continued to size her up.
This scene gradually fell into the eyes of Ye Xuan who happened to turn his head to look over.
In an instant, Ye Xuan's eyes turned bloodshot.
His teeth were clacking in his mouth.
[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior made Ye Xuan immensely resent you vowing himself to kill you one day, rewarding 1000+ Villain points!]
[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior made Ye Xuan immensely resent you vowing himself to kill you one day, rewarding 1000+ Villain points!]
Huh!
He couldn't believe that he had harvested 2000 Villain points at once!
It seemed that only by bullying the heroine before the protagonist, could infuriate the heart of the protagonist to stir up!
Of course, Li Mubai dared to act so recklessly only because he had Villain Halo.
If he was just another ordinary villain, he could reckon that in a fit of rage, the protagonist's vitality would explode, leading to his demise!
So, under the shelter of his Villain Halo, Li Mubai wasn't much worried about Ye Xuan charging on him.
Even if Ye Xuan somehow persisted, he still had two Talisman Seals on his body, a Talisman Seal which was powerful enough to kill anyone within the innate (Sovereign) level.
As he still had many cards to deal with him, he wasn't panicked at all!
And during his exchange of blows with Ye Xuan just now, he had already snatched the family heirloom on Ye Xuan's body, the Forbidden Zone Stone.
So, he didn't leave him with any chances of a comeback.
Li Mubai with a faint smile applied more pressure with his hands on Su Qingyue's chin which led her snow-white skin to redden.
"Young Master Li..."
Even though Su Qingyue was in pain and tears gushed out, she didn't dare to run away!
[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior made Ye Xuan immensely resent you vowing himself to kill you one day, rewarding 1500+ Villain points!]
[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior made Ye Xuan immensely resent you vowing himself to kill you one day, rewarding 1500+ Villain points!]
Ah!
He had harvested a lot more than he thought!
Li Mubai sneered inwardly.
If not for the fact that he was before many people watching over the show and not wanting to be seen by others, Li Mubai had a lot of means to deal with her!
As for the resentment of the protagonist, Li Mubai didn't seem to care in the slightest.
Who told him that he could pretend before others not considering the consequences?
In case he failed to pretend that too especially before a beautiful female-lead and even pretended to play hard to get the villain!
Once he failed, wasn't he aware that the heroine would have to suffer the aftermath?
So, in Li Mubai's eyes, people like Ye Xuan aren't worth taking pity.
Plus, to begin with, he was a Heavenly Destined Villain!
If he didn't destroy him, he would be the one who gets killed one day!
And then he would be snatched of his own women, wealth... and all!
So, Li Mubai didn't have little to no inner struggle for what he had done.
If he hadn't done it, he would have to regret it later.
"Young Master Li, it hurts..."
Su Qingyue shed tears from the pain.
On such a refined and flawless face, seeing the two tear marks could make anyone take pity on her.
Everyone in the scene lowered their heads.
Even though Su Qingyue was a beauty, fearing the might of the Li family, no one dared to go up to play 'the heroic rescue of a damsel in distress.'
As for Chen Feng, even he didn't dare to stare at them anymore afraid that Young Master Li would misinterpret it.
He had previously planned to have Su Qingyue with him tonight but now after watching this, he didn't dare to steal a woman from Li Mubai!
He was even mentally prepared to grab Su Qingyue for Young Master Li if she wasn't willing.
[Ding! Host's Villainous behavior made Ye Xuan immensely resent you vowing himself to kill you one day, rewarding 2000+ Villain points!]

...
Just when the entire banquet hall fell into complete silence with only the soft murmuring of Su Qingyue, there was an abrupt bang and the door of the banquet hall was smashed open!
A dozen gun-wielding special police officers rushed in with gravity!
It turned out to be when Ye Xuan knocked down Chen Feng, someone in the crowd felt that the situation wasn't that good and was afraid of Ye Xuan injuring anyone, so he called the police!
"Everyone stop in your tracks!"
The Captain of the team was a Lady police officer who shouted and was also the first to rush in.
Li Mubai couldn't help but lift his gaze to take a look at her.
An attribute panel immediately popped up before him.
[Character]: Murong Bing
[Identity]: Captain of the Jinghai Police Force (Female lead)
[Charm]: 98
[Halo]: 1600
[Cultivation]: Middle stages of Dark Jin
"Hmm? Isn't she another female lead?"
Li Mubai raised an eyebrow and was interested in her, "She seems to be a police heroine..."
