Although Lin Ruoxi had always been calm, she couldn't help but clench her fists tightly. She placed her hands on her skirt and trembled slightly.
Guo Xuehua's eyes were already red. She didn't know how to reconcile the conflict between her two sons. Yang Cheng's piercingly cold murderous aura had already made her feel helpless.
Tang Wan, on the other hand, was hugging Tangtang and observing the situation quietly.
Hui Lin's pretty face was pale. She wanted herself not to hesitate. She just needed to say "I don't like it" and then the current stalemate would be completely broken.
However, when Hui Lin wanted to say it, she realized that she couldn't easily say "I don't like it" …
This wasn't the anxious excuse from before. This time, it was the truest voice from the bottom of her heart.
If she said it out loud, would it mean that she had completely given up on that tiny bit of hope?
But … that wasn't something that she should have extravagant hopes for …
But why? She knew that it was impossible, so why was she still so persistent and unwilling to say it?
Everyone looked at Hui Lin's hesitation. Her face was pale for a moment and then a little shy the next moment. The smart ones already had an answer in their hearts.
Although Hui Lin didn't say it out loud, her innocent expression had already made everyone understand the voice from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Ruoxi's eyes were covered with a layer of mist. She felt as if her heart was being bitten by ants.
What made her feel helpless was that even if she could tell that Hui Lin liked Yang Cheng, what could she do? Could it be that she had to forcibly cut off the trace of hope that was hidden in her heart?
What right did she have to stop other women from liking her husband, just like how Yang Cheng couldn't stop other men from secretly liking him?
But the problem was … this woman was Hui Lin!
When Lin Ruoxi thought of how Hui Lin had kept everything in her heart, silently watching the little things that happened between her and Yang Cheng, but could only watch from the side as a younger sister, Lin Ruoxi didn't dare to think too much about it!
She was actually innocent because she didn't do anything wrong. What was wrong could only be the things that people couldn't understand themselves, their own hearts.
Compared to other women, Hui Lin had been hiding her feelings carefully. This made Lin Ruoxi feel miserable because she couldn't help her at all.
At this moment, a big, fiery hand reached out from under the table and grabbed Lin Ruoxi's cold, trembling hand.
Yang Cheng sighed deeply and shook his head at her with a smile.
Lin Ruoxi knew that he was comforting her, but her heart couldn't calm down.
In fact, Yang Chen was also a little surprised by Huilin's performance, but in addition to a trace of complex and indescribable feelings, he felt more helpless. He had always treated Huilin as a younger sister. Although there were a few ambiguous scenes and he occasionally felt some girl's feelings, he didn't think too much about it. Now it seemed that it was a little difficult to deal with.
"Why? You can't say it?" Yang Lie's eyes were filled with malice. "I don't understand. What's so good about this guy? He's so fickle and flirtatious. Why do so many women want to be by his side? Now, even you … "
"You … Don't you dare speak ill of Brother Yang!" Hui Lin said angrily, "No matter what you say, I won't accept you! Also, why should I tell you who I like? You're no one to me! "
"Haha, am I too outdated? Do women nowadays like to find playboys? Instead, they reject a man who has been chasing after them for so many years?" Yang Lie sneered.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone looked at the silent Yang Cheng, especially Lin Ruoxi and Tang Wan. They felt a little sour in their hearts. At the end of the day, they couldn't figure out such a complicated problem. How did they unknowingly fall for this man who didn't have many good points?
On the other hand, Yang Cheng's face was very calm, as if he was deep in thought.
Li Dun suddenly slammed his glass on the table and leaned back in his chair. He said lazily, "Yang Lie, it's not that you're outdated. It's just that when it comes to relationships, people won't like you just because you're good enough."
"Hmph, what do you know? What do you know?" Yang Lie said disdainfully.
Li Dun grinned. "I really don't understand. I don't know why a girl that I really like, even though my status and family background are so much better than hers, still refuses to accept me. But Hui Lin, the little nun … oh no, she's a famous singer now. I can understand why she rejected you."
Yang Lie sneered. "Oh, tell me about it."
"It's very simple." Li Dun said, "Even if you can't get her, you shouldn't make her feel bad. You shouldn't put her in a difficult situation. Because you love her, you should do everything for her. Even if you can't get her, you shouldn't do anything to harm her …
It's just like how my little Xin 'er refuses to accept me now. I'll wait quietly and give her a gift. It's fine if she accepts it. If she doesn't, I won't force her. As long as she's happy, I'll do anything.
I don't know if Old Yang is a good man, and I don't know how many women he has. But from what I can see, no matter how infatuated you are, no woman will be able to take it … "
"Shut up!" Yang Lie's eyes flashed fiercely. "You're Yang Cheng's brother. Of course you'll speak up for him!"
"Hah! You want me to shut up?! Who do you think you are? Do you think I'm a pushover?! "
Li Dun couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
Yang Lie said disdainfully, "What, are you going to fight me?"
"I'll fight you then. I can't beat your brother, but do you think I'll be afraid of you?!"
"Don't think that I won't dare to fight you just because you're from the Li family. You're a far cry from Yan Buwen, "Yang Lie sneered.
"Pfft! Auntie Guo, your son is too much of a jerk. I'm sorry, but I'm going to flip him over! "Li Dun was furious.
Li Dun was already at the Xiantian Realm. Even without his blindfold, he was still a top-notch Ancient Martial Artist. Once he got serious, his aura would be extraordinary.
But Yang Lie was no longer a nobody. After Yan Buwen's genetic modification, he had already surpassed the conventional boundaries of cultivation!
Li Dun spun around and threw a punch filled with Xiantian True Qi at Yang Lie's nose!
Yang Lie, on the other hand, leaped backward and landed on the grass outside the bamboo house. He hooked his finger provocatively at Li Dun.
Li Dun was enraged. He pounced at Yang Lie, True Qi surging from his body. Then, he launched a flying kick at Yang Lie's chest!
Yang Lie didn't dodge. He stood his ground and charged at Yang Lie!
"Bam!"
Guo Xuehua and the others gasped. They didn't dare to look.
But Yang Lie only took two steps back. Then, he grabbed Li Dun's calf, completely unharmed!
"You want to fight me with that little True Qi?" Yang Lie laughed in disdain. He turned around and threw Li Dun like a hammer!
Li Dun used his Xiantian True Qi to stop himself from crashing into a tree and landing on the ground.
Li Dun took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "Damn it, this is weird. You used to have trouble taking three moves from me. How did you become so strong all of a sudden? I heard that Yan Buwen performed surgery on you. How did you become so strong?! "
"Hmph, frog in a well." Yang Lie sneered.
Seeing that Li Dun was no match for Yang Lie, Yuan Hewei and Yang Jieyu were worried. They quickly said to Yang Cheng, "Yang Cheng, go and stop him! If you injure Li Dun, how are you going to explain it to Vice President Li?! "
Yang Cheng seemed to have just regained his composure. He didn't respond.
Guo Xuehua shouted, "Lie 'er! Stop right now! Stop! "
But Yang Lie's confidence was boosted. Seeing that he had defeated the opponent he looked up to in the past, he wouldn't listen to her. He said to Li Dun, "What, you're still not convinced?"
"I'm still far from it!"
Li Dun tore off his blindfold, revealing his horrifying black eyes. His Xiantian True Qi, which was condensed from the Tibetan Tantra's Buddhist internal energy, suddenly skyrocketed!
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up. Li Dun was indeed a martial arts prodigy. He didn't expect his cultivation to improve so much in such a short period of time. Perhaps it was because of his battle with Yang Cheng that Li Dun's Xiantian True Qi grew even faster. He was now at the advanced stage of the Xiantian Stage!
At this rate, Li Dun might be able to enter the Soul Forming Stage before he turned forty.
Li Dun attacked again. This time, his speed was at least three times faster than when he fought with Yang Cheng. Other than Yang Cheng, even Hui Lin, who had a high level of internal energy, couldn't see Li Dun's movements!
