Chapter 166: 166 Call Sister Jiu

Is that your little lover?

The clear voice carried a hint of gloating.

No wonder Zheng Chuyi showed some inexplicable hostility towards her last time; it was all because of Mo Zhixuan.

She remembered Zheng Chuyi saying that she once had an engagement with Mo Zhixuan, so why did they call off the engagement?

How could Mo Zhixuan bear to break off an engagement with such a delicate beauty as Zheng Chuyi?

And then, for some inexplicable reason, he got engaged to her instead.

She wasn’t being used as cannon fodder, was she, deliberately brought in to make Zheng Chuyi jealous?

Sensing the change in the atmosphere around him, Mo Zhixuan lifted his hand to rub her head, "Don’t think nonsense, she is merely the sister of a long-lost friend of mine."

The tone was somewhat deep and, upon closer listening, one could detect a barely perceivable indulgence.

Just a normal friend?

A normal friend that could be called so affectionately?

Chu Jin looked up, her voice slightly cold, "You don’t need to explain to me. I don’t care what your relationship is with her, or what has happened between you two, I just hope that you can leave me out of it!"

She had only recently managed to free herself from the troubles of ’affection’.

How could she make the same mistake as in her previous life at a time like this?

To become the cannon fodder in someone else’s love affair, a stepping stone!

"Are you angry?" Mo Zhixuan lowered his gaze to her, the corners of his mouth revealing a half-smile as his distinct, slender fingers unconsciously caressed the girl’s smooth and jade-like cheek.

The touch was, as imagined, delicate and soft.

Moreover, it carried a lingering warmth that made Mo Zhixuan somewhat reluctant to let go; this feeling was like an addiction, making one insatiable.

Feeling the cool touch on her face, Chu Jin suddenly snapped back to her senses, slightly furrowing her brows, "Can you not do this? It’s clearly between you and her, so why involve me?"

It was clear to see that Zheng Chuyi genuinely liked Mo Zhixuan very much.

That kind of obsession was just like hers in her previous life.

Sensing that she was truly angry, Mo Zhixuan let go of her wrist but, fearing she might run away, he gently wrapped his right arm around her waist, leaned in, and whispered in her ear.

"You really misunderstand; when there’s time, I’ll definitely explain it to you properly. Regardless of what has happened in the past, my fiancée now is you, and it will be only you in the future."

His words were nearly spoken against her ear, the posture somewhat ambiguous, as the faint fragrance from the young girl’s body continuously intertwined around his nose.

Mo Zhixuan’s heartbeat sped up.

Feeling the cool breath consistently sprayed on her neck, causing a mild itch, Chu Jin raised her hand somewhat unnaturally to touch her neck.

Her heart suddenly became a little chaotic.

"Mo Zhixuan!" Chu Jin turned her head abruptly, forgetting that he was leaning close to her ear, and her rosy lips lightly brushed against his refined jawline.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Mo Zhixuan only felt that the touch was very soft, much nicer than what he had imagined in his hand.

Chu Jin steadied her spirit, and her clear eyes calmly met the man’s deep and inscrutable phoenix-like eyes.

She spoke very calmly, "Mo Zhixuan, what exactly do you want!"

In this life, she simply wanted to carry out her grand plan of revenge; why was it that people always made it difficult for her?

This interaction between the two, in Zheng Chuyi’s eyes, seemed extremely irritating!

Zheng Chuyi’s eyes reddened with anger as she quickly walked up to the pair and pointed at Chu Jin, "Zhixuan, tell me, who is she?"

Mo Zhixuan instinctively held Chu Jin closer and looked up at Zheng Chuyi, his eyes devoid of any warmth, "This is my fiancée. By the way, since I am a few years your senior, remember to call her ’Sister-in-law Chuyi’ when you see her."

Call her Sister-in-law Chuyi?

She was to call this commoner from the secular world ’Sister-in-law Chuyi’?

That sentence of Mo Zhixuan’s turned into a sharp sword, piercing directly through Zheng Chuyi’s heart, leaving it bleeding profusely.

It was both painful and cold.

For Zheng Chuyi, the title ’Sister-in-law Chuyi’ was without a doubt the biggest blow.

That title, which once belonged to her, now...

"What!?" Zheng Chuyi’s lips trembled, and she stumbled backward two steps, "Zhixuan, do you even realise what you’re saying? How can you treat me like this! Do you know how many years I’ve been waiting for you?"

How could he treat her so coldly?

She didn’t understand how Mo Zhixuan could say such things to her!

Was he saying it on purpose, to hear himself speak, just to make her angry?

After all, he used to love her so much!

Moreover, to spare her any grievances, he had even used Bone Eroding Water to solidify a Blood Jade Bracelet to give to her!

Right, he must be acting, deliberately making her jealous.

"Zhixuan, I know I was wrong, I truly love you, let’s go home, okay? Let’s not torture each other like this anymore," she pleaded.

Chu Jin slightly narrowed his eyes, glancing at the austere and cold man by his side, then at the woman on the brink of despair.

He was incredibly exasperated.

He tried to break free from Mo Zhixuan’s restraint, but his strength was no match for the other man’s.

Mo Zhixuan’s expression was very cold, "Stop living in your own fantasy. There’s no longer any connection between us, let alone romantic feelings. Out of respect for Zilong, I’ve been treating you as a sister, and I hope you can also properly adjust your own identity accordingly."

Were it not for Zheng Zilong, Mo Zhixuan wouldn’t have wasted time talking so much with Zheng Chuyi.

Hearing Mo Zhixuan mention Zheng Zilong, a bright light flashed in Zheng Chuyi’s eyes, as if grasping at the last straw, "Zhixuan, you promised my brother you would take care of me. What about now? Are you going to break the promise you made to my brother?"

"And, I know you love me, otherwise, why would you risk your life and lose ten years of cultivation to solidify the Blood Jade Bracelet again? Isn’t everything you did for me? Why are you denying it now?"

Zheng Chuyi wiped the tears from her face frantically, looking hopefully towards Mo Zhixuan.

If it weren’t for the invisible barrier in front of her, she would have probably lunged at him already.

Zheng Chuyi’s words entered Chu Jin’s ears one by one, especially when she heard about the life-risking ten years of cultivation loss and the Blood Jade Bracelet.

She subconsciously looked down at her own wrist; since she was wearing long sleeves today, the bracelet was covered up.

Could the Blood Jade Bracelet that Zheng Chuyi was referring to be the same one on her wrist?

Was it actually prepared by Mo Zhixuan for Zheng Chuyi?

And she just happened to intercept it?

Chu Jin felt increasingly that this bracelet was a hot potato, yet coincidentally, she was unable to take it off!

Sensing the changes in the person by his side, Mo Zhixuan subconsciously tightened his hold on her, embracing her more firmly.

His deep phoenix eyes calmly looked towards Zheng Chuyi, bringing with them a biting chill, and he said coldly, "Where did you get the idea that I solidified the Blood Jade Bracelet for you?"

"Isn’t it?" Zheng Chuyi also looked up at Mo Zhixuan, speaking earnestly, "Zhixuan, you can’t fool me. I know you’ve always had me in your heart."

Chu Jin felt as though he’d watched a blockbuster melodrama unfold.

But as things stood, Mo Zhixuan truly had no romantic feelings for Zheng Chuyi.

Could it be that he himself had become the shield Mo Zhixuan used to reject Zheng Chuyi?

"I solidified the Blood Jade Bracelet for my fiancée, which has nothing to do with you. Take care of yourself," he said before walking away with Chu Jin.

Zheng Chuyi, seeing that he was leaving, threw caution to the wind and lunged towards Mo Zhixuan.

Regrettably, she was harshly repelled by an invisible barrier.

"Chuyi, are you okay!" At that moment, a man’s anxious voice erupted in the air.

Seeing Zheng Chuyi fall to the ground, he hurried over to help her up, his eyes full of deep concern.

Once he made sure Zheng Chuyi was alright, Jiang Mubai assisted her to the nearby car and had her sit down.

Then he walked towards Mo Zhixuan, full of fury, and exclaimed, "Mo Zhixuan, what kind of man are you! How could you treat Chuyi so cruelly!"

To him, Zheng Chuyi was a precious treasure.

He couldn’t bear to see anyone bully her, nor could he stand to see Zheng Chuyi suffer any grievances.

Not even if that person was Mo Zhixuan!

The one he vowed to protect, no one in the world could bully her!

"Mubai, you arrived just in time," Mo Zhixuan looked at Jiang Mubai, "However you brought her here, take her back the same way. It’ll save me the trouble of doing it myself."

His voice was still as deep and cold as ever.
