The night market in Capital City was exceptionally lively, with a variety of small shops lining the pedestrian street on both sides. Aside from student couples, many young white-collar workers also came here to have fun.
Colorful lights adorned the trees on either side of the road, creating a scene of spectacular beauty.
Rong Yan had not been out street wandering for a long time and had almost forgotten what it felt like. She and Li Shengxiao walked hand in hand amid a group of couples, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment.
Suddenly, her hand was held and placed in a warm palm, “Are you cold?”
She had been a bit cold, but not anymore- Rong Yan’s eyes smiled, “I’m fine.”
Suddenly, she noticed a street stall at the corner surrounded by a crowd and pointed with interest, “Let’s go take a look over there.”
Li Shengxiao had no interest in crowded places, but a glance at her shimmering face encouraged his long legs to stride towards the crowd—
No sooner had Rong Yan leaned in to see what was being sold than a powerful push came from behind, “Stinking bitch, what’s the squeeze? Move away a bit!”
Rong Yan, caught off guard, almost twisted her ankle but luckily the person behind her was quick to wrap an arm around her waist and asked in a deep voice, “Are you okay?”
Rong Yan shook her head and told him, “I’m fine.”
She stood her ground, not wanting to argue with someone so rude. However, just when the man who had confirmed she was alright let go of his hold on her waist, he suddenly lunged forward and yanked the man who had shoved her out of the crowd—
“What are you doing!” The man was not as tall as Li Shengxiao, but looked strong and burly. Dressed in just a short-sleeve shirt at night, his arm muscles were bulging conspicuously, and his fierce face made it clear he was not someone to mess with!
A girl dressed in a street fashion style was beside him. Seeing her boyfriend being dragged away, she also shrieked, “What are you doing! Let go of him!”
Yet upon seeing Li Shengxiao’s face, her impatience and anger instantly turned to shyness, and her gaze drifted unconsciously towards him, so much that her blushing cheeks couldn’t be concealed by her foundation.
Seeing his girlfriend gawking at a pretty boy, the muscular hulk grew even more irritated. He growled menacingly, “Boy, I’m warning you to let go now, or I’ll beat you so badly your mother won’t recognize you, and you’ll have no one to cry to!”
Li Shengxiao stood tall and distinguished, his long legs encased in black trousers looking straight and strong, appearing less bulky than the man but clearly outclassing him in presence. Otherwise, the man wouldn’t have been struggling in vain for so long to free his arm from Li Shengxiao’s grasp.
The man struggled but his arm might as well have been in a vise, firmly gripped by Li Shengxiao, which began to bruise the bruiser’s pride. His face turned the color of liver, and his other hand balled into a fist big as a bowl, menacingly shouting, “Pretty boy, did you hear me tell you to let go?”
Unfortunately, his bluster was utterly useless.
Li Shengxiao glanced at him indifferently and asked, “Was it that hand that pushed her?”
The hulking man was taken aback, glanced at Rong Yan, and could not recall after a long pause. His speech was still foul, “What, she your chick? Look after your own chick properly. What about pushing her? I didn’t lay a hand on her! What are you fussing about?”
Asking for death!
In the instant before Rong Yan could react, the patrician man’s piercing gaze darkened and, like a whirlwind, he smashed his fist into the face of the man whose mouth was spewing filth..
