Ming Zheng: "..."
Oh no.
Among her seven senior brothers, the third senior brother had the worst temper.
For him to be the first to know she had a boyfriend.
Would Chi Xian perhaps… be assassinated?
How should she explain.
How should she speak up for Chi Xian.
To prevent the third senior brother from assassinating Chi Xian?
"Third Brother, don't be angry with Zheng Bao, it was me who pursued…"
Chi Xian saw Ming Zheng being pressed by her third senior brother, her little head shrunk back, her expression exceptionally complicated.
He quickly stepped forward.
Wanting to shield Zheng Bao, to receive the baptism of the third senior brother's interrogation.
However, before he could finish speaking.
Mo Yun Heng's menacing eyebrows and eyes turned towards him: "Was I talking to you?"
That voice was not only sinister but also carried a hint of chilling coldness.
It was incredibly eerie and frightening.
Chi Xian: "..."
This third senior brother of Zheng Bao's is much scarier than the fifth senior brother.
"Third Senior Brother."
Ming Zheng saw Chi Xian being scolded, and quickly stepped forward, grabbing Mo Yun Heng's arm, pulling him towards herself.
Then, bracing herself, she gave the explanation her third senior brother wanted: "It's just as you see, Third Senior Brother. He, Chi Xian, the head of the Chi family, is my boyfriend."
Mo Yun Heng's eyelids were twitching before, now his whole head was throbbing: "Since when?"
"Just… just this afternoon." Ming Zheng flashed Mo Yun Heng a bright smile. "He treats me very well…"
Mo Yun Heng smiled faintly: "Do your senior brothers not treat you well?"
Ming Zheng: "...They do."
Third Senior Brother's smile was terrifying.
Mo Yun Heng continued to smile: "Since your senior brothers treat you well, then if a random man treats you well, you just become his girlfriend?"
Ming Zheng: "No, no…"
Mo Yun Heng: "Then what is it?"
She couldn't explain anymore.
Ming Zheng turned to glance at Chi Xian, then turned to glance at Mo Yun Heng.
"Break up," Mo Yun Heng said with a cold face.
"No!"
"No!"
Two voices sounded simultaneously.
Chi Xian immediately strode over.
On his dignified and noble face, there was a look of solemnity and seriousness.
His dark, jade-like eyes were also filled with sincerity and resolve.
He met Mo Yun Heng's gaze, clouded with gloom, without blinking: "Third Brother, I know you care deeply for Zheng Bao, and just like you, I care deeply for Zheng Bao. Therefore, I can understand your feelings right now."
"Understand? Understand what?" Mo Yun Heng sneered, not wanting to look at this dog man who had stolen his junior sister.
After not seeing his precious junior sister for over a year.
Having finally reunited.
Having finally managed to push aside the other scoundrels and monopolize the junior sister alone.
Suddenly, an unknown wild man appeared, claiming to be the junior sister's boyfriend?
And he understood his feelings?
Understood his ass!
Their Mo Sect's pampered princess of over a decade was suddenly not theirs anymore!
This feeling was like a large chunk of their hearts had been hollowed out!
He huffed, glaring at Ming Zheng with his gloomy eyes: "What? Are you going to say you understand my feelings too?"
"Third Senior Brother…"
Ming Zheng shifted from holding his wrist to hugging his arm.
She raised her bright little face, her eyebrows curved as she looked at him, giving him a soft smile: "I wanted to tell you that I know you are worried about me."
"But this is the boyfriend I chose myself, and I will take responsibility for my own choices."
"I will answer your question just now."
"The reason I chose him is not just because he treats me well, but… I like him."
The moment this sentence fell.
The entire private room fell into a bizarrely quiet atmosphere.
Mo Yun Heng's stern, handsome face, covered in gloom, went from stiff to regaining the gentleness he usually showed Ming Zheng.
Chi Xian's tightly drawn eyebrows and his eyes filled with solemn determination became stunned.
As if he couldn't believe his ears.
He stared blankly, directly at Ming Zheng.
The expression on his face gradually turned to ecstasy.
Zheng Bao said… she liked him.
This was the first time Zheng Bao had said… she liked him.
"Take responsibility for your choice, how will you take responsibility?" Mo Yun Heng raised his hand and poked her forehead. "A year ago, you chose to return to the Ming family, and now? You were bullied terribly by the Ming family, and you didn't even tell your senior brothers."
"That's different."
Ming Zheng grabbed Mo Yun Heng's hand: "I believe Chi Xian will not be another Ming family."
Mo Yun Heng let out two soft hums from his nose: "If he is, even if he's the head of the Chi family, our brothers can still kill him!"
Ming Zheng's eyes lit up, her eyebrows curving: "Third Senior Brother, does this mean you accept Chi Xian?"
"No." Mo Yun Heng glanced at Chi Xian, looking at his face filled with ecstasy and nervousness, clearly having lost his soul from his little junior sister's "I like him."
He looked not very intelligent.
He sneered at Chi Xian: "Acceptance is impossible, none of us brothers will accept a random man stealing our little junior sister."
Ming Zheng pursed her cherry-red lips.
She knew that too.
Her life had always only had people from the Mo Sect.
Later, the addition of people from the Ming family made her abandon the Mo Sect.
Now, another man had suddenly appeared.
Especially, that man… was her boyfriend.
It was difficult for them to accept it, and it was normal for Chi Xian to be a source of concern.
They were also afraid that she would choose Chi Xian, just as she had chosen the Ming family before.
But Chi Xian was different from the Ming family.
She didn't need to make a choice between the two at all.
"Now you're unhappy?" Mo Yun Heng looked at the girl's lowered gaze.
He reached out and flicked Ming Zheng's nose: "I don't accept him, but who cares, he's the one you like, so even if I don't accept him, I won't stop you from being together."
The reason he had proposed "break up" just now.
Was not because he couldn't accept Chi Xian and was forcing them to break up.
But rather, to see Ming Zheng's determination for Chi Xian, and Chi Xian's love for Ming Zheng.
Now, he had seen it.
He still couldn't accept Chi Xian.
But he also couldn't bear to make his junior sister sad.
There was no need to do something like breaking up a couple and making his junior sister difficult.
Mo Yun Heng patted Ming Zheng's head.
Then he looked up at Chi Xian, and his expression instantly changed: "Chi Xian, I'm warning you, if you dare to make our little junior sister unhappy, no matter where I am, I will immediately rush to your side and dig out your heart, understand?"
His chilling tone and hostile gaze seemed to want to flay Chi Xian alive.
Chi Xian's eyes warmed slightly.
The rosy, thin lips curved into an unyielding arc.
"Understood."
He said, "I'm ready for a surprise inspection from my senior brothers at any time."
He could tell.
Zheng Bao's senior brothers truly doted on her to the bone.
It was the same with Fifth Brother last time.
It was the same with Third Brother this time.
No matter how much they disliked him.
But for Ming Zheng's sake.
They would not use their status to force Ming Zheng.
