Chapter 1812: How Could Anyone Be So Detestable

Wei Yangyang's shoulders gave a start at the shout.

At the same time, she touched the corner of her mouth, wondering to herself if she had smiled.

In fact, Wei Yangyang really had smiled.

And it was the mocking kind of smile at that.

It was no wonder Li Xingyan would be angry.

Li Xingyan was still slowly approaching Wei Yangyang.

And he was getting closer and closer, and closer...

What is he doing, trying to silence a witness?

If so, she would have to run for her life!!

Wei Yangyang took a deep breath, and the next second...

She turned around and ran!

But who could have guessed that the moment she turned, Wei Yangyang would actually bump into someone!

And she landed right in the person's arms!

The moment they collided, Wei Yangyang felt her vision go black.

Then, a stinging sensation spread from the tip of her nose.

Her nose... it hurt so much!

Wei Yangyang frowned in pain.

At the same time, a familiar voice sounded above her head: "Sorry, did I bump into you and hurt you?"

The moment she heard this voice, Wei Yangyang didn't feel the pain anymore.

Instead, she felt as if she had found a pillar of support!

This support gave her a sense of complete security, and for a moment, she even forgot that she should keep her distance from the man.

Wei Yangyang had forgotten.

But someone else still remembered.

Those handsome eyebrows were even knitted into a knot because of it.

Ahem—

Li Xingyan kept a cold face and coughed twice on purpose.

Then he crossed his arms and counted silently to see how many seconds it would take for the two of them to separate.

One, two...

Before he could count to three, Wei Yangyang stepped back two paces.

Then she said shyly, "I should be the one saying sorry; just now, I was too reckless."

Wei Yangyang truly felt she had been very reckless.

She had actually... stayed leaning in a man's arms and didn't move!

She really didn't know if Deng Yunhai would think she was being unreserved because of this?

Because of the worry in her heart, Wei Yangyang cautiously raised her head, wanting to see what Deng Yunhai's reaction was.

But at this moment, Deng Yunhai's attention was already fixed on Li Xingyan.

"Mr. Li?"

Hearing Deng Yunhai's form of address, Wei Yangyang asked, "You know him?"

"In the financial circle, I'm afraid it's hard not to know Mr. Li. But just now... it seemed like I heard you two arguing."

She and Li Xingyan had indeed had an argument.

But the content of the argument... must absolutely not be known by Deng Yunhai!

To change the subject, Wei Yangyang said vaguely, "It was just... a small misunderstanding, that's all."

Clearly, Li Xingyan did not accept such an assessment.

He even opened his mouth and asked sarcastically, "A, small, misunderstanding?"

This punchable tone, along with the deliberately drawn-out voice, made Wei Yangyang realize one thing:

This guy was looking for trouble!

Wei Yangyang could not give him that chance.

Her eyes darted, and she started with a wave of flattery: "Mr. Li is a big shot. A misunderstanding caused by a lack of communication with a small woman like me, isn't that just a small misunderstanding? You surely wouldn't hold it against a small woman like me because of this, right?"

Wei Yangyang was extremely polite.

While she spoke, she even kept a smile on her face.

But Li Xingyan was sarcastic once again: "You called me, Mr., Li?"

Li Xingyan's attitude when speaking was truly punchable!

The smile on Wei Yangyang's face was about to slip.

But Deng Yunhai was still there, so even if Wei Yangyang couldn't stand it, she had to endure it!

She took a deep breath and asked with the best temper she could muster, "You seem dissatisfied with how I address you. How about this, I'll follow Tiantian's lead and call you... Brother?"

Hearing this "Brother," Li Xingyan felt goosebumps all over his body!

He even drew a line in the sand right there: "I don't have a sister as bold as you!"

This time, Li Xingyan was not being sarcastic.

But what he said was even more infuriating!

It was practically a personal attack!

Wei Yangyang could bear it no longer, and she retorted immediately, "Where am I bold? Explain yourself!"

Seeing that Wei Yangyang was truly angry, Deng Yunhai patted her on the shoulder.

Then, he comforted her in a gentle voice: "Mr. Li must be joking with you."

After finishing, he reached out his hand to Li Xingyan: "I haven't introduced myself yet, Deng Yunhai."

Out of politeness, Li Xingyan gave a perfunctory handshake.

The moment their palms touched, Wei Yangyang felt a bit dazed.

Once, she had thought that Deng Yunhai and Li Xingyan were the same type of person.

Now that the two were standing face to face, Wei Yangyang realized...

How could they be the same type?

They were clearly as different as heaven and earth!

A good man like Deng Yunhai should be cherished properly.

As for Li Xingyan?

That freak should go to Mars!

Wei Yangyang evaluated them secretly.

And Li Xingyan was not idle either.

He looked Deng Yunhai up and down, then said to Wei Yangyang: "So, you like this type of physique."

Upon hearing this, Wei Yangyang instantly turned to stone!

She widened her eyes and looked up in disbelief.

After seeing that unperturbed face of Li Xingyan...

Wei Yangyang's face turned red instantly!

It was not a blush of shyness, but a flush of anger!

She could not understand how someone could be... so hateful!?

This was clearly done to deliberately embarrass Wei Yangyang!!

Moreover, it was wrong for Wei Yangyang to admit it, and wrong to deny it.

It was simply like a fish in a frying pan, suffering repeatedly!

And the culprit who caused her such suffering was still pressing: "Speak."

Speak about what?

At this moment, Wei Yangyang just wanted to dig a hole and bury herself!

Just as Wei Yangyang felt increasingly unable to show her face, her shoulder was gripped by someone!

Wei Yangyang turned her head to look.

She discovered it was Deng Yunhai who had raised his hand to rest it on her shoulder.

After locking eyes with Wei Yangyang, he smiled.

That smile successfully dissolved the helplessness in Wei Yangyang's heart and also allowed her tense body to slowly relax.

Afterwards, Deng Yunhai said to Li Xingyan: "Appreciating a healthy beauty is a good thing. Nowadays, some girls just happen to like men with weak images; their aesthetics have become distorted."

These words made Wei Yangyang's gaze change!

She was very grateful for Deng Yunhai's help in resolving the awkward situation.

She was even more grateful for his understanding!

At this moment, Wei Yangyang no longer felt embarrassed.

The corners of her mouth curled into a smile again.

Li Xingyan watched everything coldly.

He thought Wei Yangyang was so childish.

A few words were enough to move her.

She was truly a romantic fool!

Li Xingyan could not stand such a person and turned his head, wanting to leave.

However, just at this moment, in the drifting pool not far away, a child, along with their swimming ring, did a complete head-first dive!

The child struggled continuously but could not right their position.

Their head was still stuck in the water!

Li Xingyan saw it and, without a second thought, rushed over and picked the child up.

The moment they left the water, the child began to cough and then wailed loudly.

The child's parents hurried over, hugged the child, and were endlessly grateful to Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan did not need the other party's gratitude.

He did not even respond to them; with a cold face, he turned and went ashore.

Because his hem was soaked with water, his T-shirt was now clinging to his skin.

This also made the abdominal muscles beneath the fabric faintly visible.

Hmm, abdominal muscles?

Wei Yangyang was very surprised.

Fearing she had seen wrong, she stared fixedly at Li Xingyan's lower abdomen.

Then...
