Chapter 433: Chapter 418: Outsmarting Oneself

Long Chen wanted to use this more aggressive method to scare Qi Xin.

But when Qi Xin heard Long Chen’s words, she was overjoyed.

"Let’s go, let’s go to the hotel."

Qi Xin, pulling Long Chen along, was extremely excited.

Seeing that she wasn’t scared at all, but eager, Long Chen hurriedly let go of Qi Xin, "I was just joking, don’t take it seriously."

"How can you be like this?" Qi Xin said, "Do you think you can just mess with a girl’s feelings? Think you can crack whatever jokes you want?"

"So what do you mean?"

"You said it yourself, we have to go to the ’bridal chamber,’ so we must go. I’ve already agreed, how can you say it’s a joke? I won’t allow you to say it’s a joke."

Qi Xin said through gritted teeth.

Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "I was doing it for your own good."

"And I’m doing it for your good," Qi Xin said. "Look, I haven’t asked you for a wedding, a proposal, or a ring, and I’m willing to ’consummate our marriage’ just like that, what more do you want from me?"

"You’re crazy."

Long Chen was dumbfounded.

"Regardless of how you squirm, you’ll be on the trending searches soon. The fact that you’re my boyfriend can’t be concealed.

Of course, you could clarify it, but if I don’t agree to clear it up, people will say you’re a jerk who played with my feelings. Then my 48 million fans will drown you."

Qi Xin said with a smile.

Long Chen was startled.

million people, that was indeed a terrifying number, not to be underestimated.

As Long Chen pondered, his phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Xia Ling.

"Long Chen, what the hell is going on? How did you end up trending?"

Xia Ling was very surprised.

"It is... really?"

Long Chen was stunned.

"Check it out for yourself. Womanizer, out fooling around again, and even wanting me to acquire Cosmic Entertainment. It turns out it was all to pick up girls. Wait till you get back and see how I deal with you."

Xia Ling said angrily and then hung up.

Long Chen took out his phone, opened a social media platform, and there it was—his and Qi Xin’s story was all over the place, dominating the top three trending spots with unprecedented heat.

The latest activity on Qi Xin’s page also broke a million comments in an instant, with countless people asking various questions below.

"See? Heh, still want to argue?"

Qi Xin laughed as she looked at Long Chen.

"Did you plan this?"

Long Chen glared at Qi Xin.

"No, no." Qi Xin hurriedly shook her head, "I didn’t want to deny the fact that I like you, but I never expected that bastard Zhao Yu to do something so outrageous and indirectly blow this whole thing up."

"It’s all that bastard Zhao Yu’s fault. I’ll go back and dismember him. Just wait for me."

Long Chen turned around to leave.

"Stop right there."

Qi Xin quickly grabbed Long Chen, "You think you can run away and leave me behind? Don’t even think about it."

"Cough, don’t think so poorly of me."

Long Chen forced a laugh.

"Heh, you jerk, take a good look at me."

Qi Xin said with a sneer, "Aren’t my legs long?"

"Long."

"Isn’t my butt perky?" She posed slightly to the side.

"Very perky."

"Long legs, perky butt, no problems, right?"

"Indeed, no problems."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, come with me to the hotel, and don’t you dare say ’no.’ " Qi Xin forcefully dragged Long Chen toward the hotel.

Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh and cry, "Who does this like you?"

"I’m just a bit fierce, what about it?"

"I..."

"Don’t speak."

"Fine, just wait, I’ll show you what cruelty is," Long Chen said through clenched teeth.

"Oh my, I’m so scared, but whether or not you’re even up to it is still unknown."

"Good, very good, just you wait."

Long Chen was ’fired up.’

Qi Xin failed completely to recognize the gravity of her mistake, and an hour later, she paid an exceedingly severe price for it.

The price was that for the following two days, Qi Xin was too embarrassed to leave the hotel.

Long Chen didn’t dare to go home either.

Because in those two days, the gossip about him and Qi Xin fermented more fiercely and grew stronger.

If he went home, he would inevitably face a frenzied suppression.

He could only wait for the storm to pass before Long Chen dared to return.

As for the matter with Qi Xin, Long Chen felt it was an utter mess.

Originally, he just wanted to frighten Qi Xin, but in the end...

But Long Chen had no regrets.

In his dictionary, there were no words for regret.

Living a life, why not indulge oneself utterly just once?

In a blink, five days passed.

Qi Xin had already left Qianzhou, but the heat surrounding her and Long Chen hadn’t died down at all.

After Qi Xin left, Long Chen received a call from Zhao Churan, "Hurry back home."

"This, baby, doesn’t seem quite right."

Long Chen chuckled dryly.

"If you don’t get straightened out, someone else will. Yuechan is back."

With just one sentence, Zhao Churan shocked Long Chen into an instant freeze.

Then, Long Chen hung up and rushed back home.

The moment he saw Li Yuechan, Long Chen felt a sense of strangeness.

Dressed in a purple long dress, Li Yuechan wore a face of cold pride.

She turned her gaze, staring at Long Chen, this kind of look was very foreign, scrutinizing Long Chen.

And, from Li Yuechan, Long Chen sensed a strong aura.

"Yuechan, you..."

Long Chen wanted to step forward.

But Li Yuechan raised her hand, stopping Long Chen, "Keep your distance."

"Yuechan, what’s wrong with you?"

Long Chen frowned.

"I recall some memories about you. I don’t know how I ended up with you before, but I want to tell you, our fate is over. I came here to make things clear between us. From now on, you go your way and I’ll go mine. I don’t like scumbags."

Li Yuechan said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Long Chen’s mind went boom, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Yuechan, what are you talking about?" Zhao Churan hurriedly said, "Don’t be like this, you’ve just forgotten some things, but you and Long Chen have many, many fond memories, you just can’t remember them for the moment. Don’t be impulsive."

"There’s no impulsiveness," Li Yuechan said, "I’ve thought it through very clearly. Even if I recover my memories, I wouldn’t like a man who has so many women. I can’t accept it."

"If you came here to draw a clear line between us, why bother coming at all? A simple phone call would have sufficed."

Long Chen said in a deep voice.

"It’s just to show my sincerity, by making a personal trip," Li Yuechan said.

"Now that things have been made clear, you can leave."

Long Chen turned away, saying no more.

Li Yuechan furrowed her brows; Long Chen’s attitude left her feeling inexplicably choked up.

But Li Yuechan didn’t say anything more, she stepped briskly and left, leaving the Great Xia Mansion behind.

"Long Chen, there must be a huge problem here. Yuechan wouldn’t act like this," Zhao Churan said anxiously.

"Her memory is missing a lot, nothing I say will make a difference. It must be that bastard Chu Ling meddling," Long Chen clenched his teeth in anger.

"Long Chen, don’t disrespect my father. I warn you seriously just this once, if you dare to be disrespectful again, I will duel with you to the death," Li Yuechan’s voice suddenly came through.

"So what if he is a bastard?" Long Chen retorted angrily.

"Do you really think I’m afraid to fight you?"

Li Yuechan suddenly turned back, striking out at Long Chen directly.

Former lovers now came to blows.

Li Yuechan’s moves carried lethal intent, relentlessly advancing with each step.

Long Chen, wary of hurting Li Yuechan, appeared to be fighting back, but in reality, he was retreating.

Until Li Yuechan’s sword pierced his abdomen.
