Chapter 1082: The Gentle Neighbor's Drama Queen Darling 10

Jin Chen walked in, saw Zhongyu Yu's pallid face, and naturally went over to him, asking, "What's wrong?"

He suddenly seemed to understand something, and softly asked Zhongyu Yu, "This person couldn't also be your father's creditor, could he?"

Xue Yuanjing, who was about to scold: "……"

"I am his boyfriend."

Xue Yuanjing's tone could be described as gloomy.

Zhongyu Yu apologetically looked at Jin Chen, "Sorry, you should go back first."

"What's the point of going back? This is a good chance for him to come recognize the cufflinks." Xue Yuanjing would certainly not allow the adulterer to just leave like that.

Jin Chen had no time to deal with him, his gaze falling on Zhongyu Yu's reddened collarbone, "Did he hit you?"

Zhongyu Yu instinctively touched his collarbone, tears welling in his eyes, still not recovered, he showed the cufflinks to him, "... Are these yours?"

【Protagonist attack, dangerous——】 0731 very fitting.

"Can't you hear me speaking!" Xue Yuanjing saw Zhongyu Yu actually not rejecting Jin Chen's closeness, and flew into a rage.

Jin Chen took the cufflinks, turned at the right moment, still shielding Zhongyu Yu behind him, his smile hiding a sharp edge.

"If you're referring to this cufflink, it is indeed mine; perhaps I accidentally dropped it here a couple of days ago."

"I am the neighbor who moved in across the way."

"Neighbor…?"

Xue Yuanjing frowned, as if he had heard Zhongyu Yu mention it before.

"So what? Just because you're a neighbor doesn't mean you can mess with my boyfriend."

Jin Chen's expression unchanged, he glanced at Xue Yuanjing, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Sir, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Xue Yuanjing: "You're crazy, why are you getting cozy with me? Who let you get so close to my boyfriend!"

He was originally a bit shorter than Jin Chen, his build looked tall, but his demeanor was lacking, making him look like a nouveau riche by comparison.

Zhongyu Yu recovered, tears in his eyes, he questioned, "Xue Yuanjing, do I even need your permission to make friends?"

"Making friends… you basically have no friends, you only have me!" Xue Yuanjing glared angrily, speaking harshly without restraint.

"What gives you the right to make friends without my permission!"

Jin Chen's voice turned cold, he cut him off, his icy pupils fixed on Xue Yuanjing, "Mr. Xue, I remember who you are now."

Xue Yuanjing hadn't reacted yet, "What?"

"Let me introduce myself," Jin Chen curled his lip, eyes mocking, "I'm the manager of Zero Degree Club; last time I had you kicked out, I'm really sorry."

While saying sorry on the surface, his cold mockery was practically overflowing.

Xue Yuanjing's face changed dramatically.

"You are… the club owner."

——This club owner is no ordinary person; not to mention the Xu Family, even several major families have close ties with this owner, you can't afford to provoke him.

"So Mr. Xue, you just said… you're Zhongyu Yu's boyfriend?"

Xue Yuanjing: "……"

I actually want to take back those words.

Zhongyu Yu somewhat couldn't make sense of the current scene.

He knew Jin Chen's identity, but what was his relation to Xue Yuanjing?

"Jin Chen," he asked softly, "What did Xue Yuanjing do at your club?"

Xue Yuanjing: "Nothing at all!"

He took a few quick steps, trying to go around Jin Chen to hug Zhongyu Yu, but how could that possibly succeed.

Blocked by Jin Chen, he became even more furious with shame, shouting at Zhongyu Yu, "Xiao Yu! We're the real couple; don't listen to an outsider's nonsense—if you want to know something, just ask me!"

But Xue Yuanjing was obviously flustered, and Zhongyu Yu could tell.

Zhongyu Yu ignored him, silently looking at Jin Chen, tears still glimmering in his eyes.

Jin Chen: "Recently, he harassed the staff at my club and even tried to collude with others to drug them."

He didn't immediately expose Xu You's involvement, but this still shocked Zhongyu Yu.

Zhongyu Yu pulled his knit jacket tighter, feeling a chill all over, and when he looked at Xue Yuanjing his tone was almost accusatory.

"You said you were busy with work and had to socialize—is this how you socialize?"

Xue Yuanjing panicked, "No! Are you jealous? They're the ones seducing me!"

"Jealous?"

Zhongyu Yu was so angry he laughed, his eyes sharp.

"I just find it disgusting; the idea that the staff seduced you is utter nonsense."

Such talk, he had heard countless times since over a decade ago when facing his cheating, abusive, gambling father.

Xue Yuanjing still wanted to argue, but his phone rang with a Bell Signal—it was Xu You.

He had no choice but to answer, rushing to the balcony and shutting the door tightly.

The atmosphere in the Living Room finally eased considerably.

Zhongyu Yu, dazed, slumped onto the Sofa, his eyes reddening, "Why……"

"What?" Jin Chen asked, pulling out a tissue for him to wipe his tears, but this time he just handed the tissue over.

"Why did I agree to his confession…"

Zhongyu Yu didn't understand; the present Xue Yuanjing was almost overlapping with his memory of his father.

He had thought that after escaping his family, it would be a new beginning.

But he never imagined he would find another abyss for himself.

"It's not your fault." Jin Chen soothed in a low voice, then after a few seconds Jin Chen added with some hesitation.

"Sorry… I didn't know you had a boyfriend."

Zhongyu Yu raised their brows in confusion, seemingly not understanding the meaning of those words.

Upon seeing them seem somewhat downcast, their breath hitched, their fingers curled, and they even forgot to be angry.

The two suddenly fell silent, gazing at each other.

Jin Chen broke the silence, placing the new cake beside the sofa, "Tomorrow's portion, but… this isn't made by me, so the texture might be better."

Zhongyu Yu pressed their lips, though still low, they finally let out a faint smile, eyes curving into a beautiful arc.

"I'll get fat, and I won't look good on camera."

"You're already thin enough, Mr. Fox isn't naturally endowed with Monster Power, so you can't get fat." Jin Chen put the cake box away, their voice also carrying a laugh.

As ill luck would have it, Xue Yuanjing had already finished their phone call and returned.

【What a mood killer.】0731 sighed.

As Xue Yuanjing entered, the atmosphere in the Living Room shifted again; Zhongyu Yu's gaze at them turned cold, their smile fading.

"Let's break up."

They absolutely cannot let themselves fall into the mire again.

Xue Yuanjing, however, was unwilling to accept it.

"Is it just because of this that you want to break up with me? Or do you want to ditch me quickly so you can be with someone else?"

Jin Chen moved their wrist, preparing to stand up.

"But after being away for just a week, someone tried to pry a corner of the wall; if I leave now, wouldn't that give you the perfect excuse to get together?"

Xue Yuanjing's mind was filled with the thought of someone who hadn't even slept yet being taken; how could they possibly resign themselves to it?

They even lashed out at Jin Chen, "Even if you're a club boss, so what? Snatching people so righteously, you don't even see that they can't live without me—becoming……"

Smack!

Jin Chen stood up, but had not yet made a move.

Zhongyu Yu's chest heaved with anger, they slapped with all their might, their hand trembling slightly.

"Get out."

They pointed at the door, tears welling in their eyes, fuming.

Zhongyu Yu could not imagine such words actually coming from their boyfriend's mouth.

Oh, wrong.

Now they are an ex-boyfriend.

"Zhongyu Yu, are you crazy?"

The slap mark on Xue Yuanjing's face was very red, their eyes terrifyingly fierce, like their father in memory, turning into a mindless beast.

Zhongyu Yu could barely breathe again, the trembling in their wrist spreading through their whole body.

Jin Chen grabbed their hand, blocking in front of them, staring at Xue Yuanjing with an icy gaze, "Get lost, don't you understand?"

Xue Yuanjing ultimately feared this person's identity.

Xu You had been urging them strongly on the phone just now, so they could only leave in a hurry.

The Main Gate was slammed shut, producing a loud bang.

Following the posture of holding hands, Jin Chen pulled Zhongyu Yu to sit down, "Don't be sad."

"I'm not sad."

Zhongyu Yu said softly, head lowered with long hair hanging down, "I'm just angry."

"I want to calm down for a bit."

【Villain Blackening Value +10, total 70!】

"Alright, then I'll come see you later."

Jin Chen knew it was enough that they weren't sad for Xue Yuanjing, they gave them space, and after leaving, they didn't immediately go home.
