Chapter 41: Master Quan

Translator: Lonelytree

Shock! The moment Father Mo and Mo Yun saw the scene inside the resting lounge, the shock rendered them speechless. A barely noticeable excitement crossed Xiao Yue’s eyes. She made those claims but she didn’t expect Mo Li to really be so brazen. She was openly seducing another man at a public spot, if this was seen by anyone else, Mo Li’s reputation would be ruined!

Mo Yun could not believe his eyes.?What is this girl doing?!?A fury burned through him. He had the urge to run over to yank the man off Mo Li. However, before his body moved, his voice already did, “What the hell do you think you’re doing here?!”

Mo Li was frozen solid. She hugged the pillow and sank into the soft cushion. In her resistance, the folds of her qipao had slid up to reveal her fair legs! She bit on the man’s wrist hoping for him to let go but from the other’s perspective, it was like she was giving him a love bite.

It was at that moment that Quan Yu’s eyelids fluttered open. The pain did do the trick. Mo Li let go of her bite. Quan Yu smiled at the girl in his arms, he had something to say when he realized the tension around him. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed there were other people in the room.

Mo Yi also didn’t expect to walk in on a scene like this. His precious daughter was pressed under a man and showed no sign of struggle. What he didn’t know was that the man’s grip and weight were so heavy that any struggle on Mo Li’s part had gone unnoticed.

Xiao Yue looked at this and could barely contain the joy in her eyes. When Mo Li arrived at the ball earlier, Xiao Yue was wondering why Mo Li was done up differently from usual. Mo Li normally wasn’t a person to wear lipstick but today, her red lips shone like ruby. Now she understood why, Mo Li was here to meet her lover! Xiao Yue thought to herself,?This bitch is such a vixen! I’ve underestimated her, but this is good!

“Lil’ Sister Mo Li, how could you… No wonder you don’t want to dance, you already have a date with this… this savage swine… you’re still too young for something like this!” Xiao Yue gasped dramatically. For her, the more people who came from being attracted by her shouts, the better. People needed to see this! Once this spread, Mo Li’s reputation at Pear River City would be ruined!

Quan Yu had been called many things but ‘savage swine’ was a first. He had heard enough. “Savage Swine?” Quan Yu chuckled to himself as he saw Mo Li glare at him. Then he finally extricated himself from her. He turned to look at the new arrivals, particularly the woman who just branded him a savage swine. His gaze was so chilly that Xiao Yue couldn’t help but shiver, it was like she was looking into a wintry pool.

But soon, Xiao Yue came to her senses. There was no reason for her to feel like that, it was Mo Li and this man who were in the wrong. She was the person who was there to expose them for their illicit rendezvous. She was the good guys here!

With that surge of confidence, Xiao Yue straightened her spine and turned to meet Quan Yu’s handsome face. For a moment, her face blushed with shyness.?Who is this man? How can he be so handsome? And more importantly why would he fall for someone as mundane as Mo Li? It must be Mo Li, the vixen who has seduced him!

“Why are you glaring at me?! I don’t know who you are, but do you know what place is this?! Do you have no shame?” Xiao Yue might think the man to be handsome but she was not going to forget about her real job, which was to wedge discord between Mo Li and her family.

“Sister Xiao Yue, you’ve jumped to the wrong conclusion. This gentleman was not feeling well earlier, so I was only checking his vitals.”

“Really? You need him to lie on top of you to do that?” Xiao Yue countered sarcastically. She was so in her groove that she forgot Father Mo and Mo Yun were there. If there was someone to lecture Mo Li, it would be them and not her.

“When I walked in earlier, I saw this gentleman sitting right here. His face was pale so I came to check on him.” Mo Li then slowly stood up, stressing the explanation, “Sister Xiao Yue, why do you insist on your version of the truth without even giving me and this gentleman the chance to explain ourselves? Is there a reason behind your insistence?” Xiao Yue’s face was unsmiling. She refused to budge from her conviction.

Seeing this, Mo Li decided to change tact. Mo Li might not be good at making close contact and intimate conversations but damn if she was not a good logical debater. How could she not be when she had gone through so many proposal defenses and thesis presentations?

And one of the debating skills she learnt was that offense was sometimes the best defense. “Sister Xiao Yue, a person’s assumption says a lot about the person who made them. Why would you instantly jump to the assumption that this gentleman and I were up to something unseemly? Sister Xiao Yue, is it because you often use this place to do such things? And thus assume we were up to the same misdeeds?”

“What are you talking about?” Xiao Yue was clearly startled by the words that left Mo Li’s lips. Her face was filled with disbelief. Mo Li was basically insinuating that Xiao Yue had met many lovers here. Xiao Yue wanted to snap the bitch in half, how could she ruin her name like that before her beloved Mo Yun?! “It is clearly you and this savage swine that were up to no good, don’t turn this on me.”

The host of the ball rushed over. When he heard Xiao Yue’s latest statement, his face darkened. With a light cough, he sidled to Xiao Yue’s side. He pulled on her sleeve and whispered, “Miss, this is the young master of Quan Family from the capital, Quan Yu.”
