Love you all! Get some rest early!

☆, (9 Xian Coins) Chapter 223: A Man's Love

Du Wei finished complaining and incidentally glanced at the sturdy man fighting with Jishi—

Ruan Lin?

"Weiwei, wait for me outside for a moment." Qin Zhixiu said.

Du Wei looked at He Lele on the sofa suspiciously. "Why do I have to go out? Is there anything I can't hear? It's not like I don't know her." Although she was speaking to Qin Zhixiu, Du Wei's watery eyes never left He Lele's slightly furrowed little face for a second, and while speaking, she even hooked her arm around Qin Zhixiu's right arm.

One was a natural stunner in a sexy black evening dress, the other a young, handsome man in a sharp formal suit. To anyone, this was an impeccable, eye-pleasing couple.

But who could have imagined that the beautiful woman like a rose before them would betray the man who loved her deeply just for a role? And who could believe that even after being betrayed, he still treated her as he had before?

Is a man's love such a great thing?

Why did her heart ache so much...

"Stop fighting, please stop fighting!" He Lele suddenly shouted.

The two in the heat of battle turned a deaf ear.

"Lele..." Qin Zhixiu looked at the two who were already fighting with fire, and as soon as he saw Jishi being kicked toward the coffee table by Ruan Lin, he hurriedly leaned over to block in front of He Lele.

Clatter! The teacups and bowls on the coffee table were sent flying by Jishi, and one teacup, along with the tea, crashed into Qin Zhixiu's side.

He Lele stared blankly at the handsome face so close at hand; his worried expression and focused eyes suddenly filled her field of vision...

"A-Zhi! What are you doing?" Qin Zhixiu's actions caused Du Wei's sense of crisis to rise sharply.

Nearly accidentally hurting He Lele made Jishi and Ruan Lin finally stop.

The head nurse came in to check the situation and was dismissed by Jishi. Straightening their clothes, Jishi and Ruan Lin sat down, glaring at each other.

"Why did you bring her here?" Jishi glared at Du Wei with disgust.

Du Wei pursed her lips, ignoring Jishi. "A-Zhi, if we don't leave now, we'll be late." The guests at tonight's charity gala included almost all the influential figures in the political and business circles; she absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

Jishi frowned.

Ruan Lin ignored Du Wei, looking at He Lele, who was draped in Qin Zhixiu's fine jacket, with a look of apology.

Knowing that using force would only make things worse, he couldn't control himself. The void in his chest desperately needed her to fill it, yet he didn't know what to do to truly win her heart... How could he watch her being held in another man's arms?

A scene of her being simultaneously molested by Jishi and Mu Wei... flashed through his mind, and the pain and struggle in Ruan Lin's eyes deepened. Why did she choose Jishi instead of him? And what was with that helpless yet trusting and intimate smile she gave Li Yiquan that day?

His little woman, please tell him what he should do.

"Weiwei... I'll arrange for someone else to accompany you." Qin Zhixiu took a tissue to wipe the tea splashed on He Lele's pants, not looking back.

He Lele lowered her eyes to look at his slender, fair-skinned fingers, and a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

"How can you do that—A-Zhi, what do you mean? You and her... even if I haven't decided whether to be with you yet, you don't have to use her to provoke me, do you?" Du Wei said with a pout.

Qin Zhixiu paused, just about to speak, but He Lele took the initiative to return the jacket to him.

Du Wei snatched the jacket, looking with disdain at the water stains on the jacket and Qin Zhixiu's body. "Let's go, find a shop to change clothes first. If you go like this, you'll lose all face."

Jishi snorted coldly, glancing at Qin Zhixiu with a look of "iron not becoming steel."

"Weiwei," Qin Zhixiu lowered his head and took the jacket, covering He Lele's somewhat disheveled shirt again. "Whatever you want to bid for tonight, just call out the price. Someone will take care of you when you get to the venue; I won't go."

"You!" Du Wei glanced embarrassedly at Jishi and Ruan Lin, who were watching the show on the side. Since childhood, Qin Zhixiu had never refused any of her requests, except for the last time at his apartment and this time! Twice, both times because of this woman!

Du Wei glared at He Lele with hatred, her tone aggrieved and pitiful. "A-Zhi, have you forgotten that you just promised my mom and dad yesterday that you would take good care of me? It's a pity my parents have always loved you like a son, and this is how you treat me?"

"... Sorry." Qin Zhixiu actually sat down directly beside He Lele, holding her clenched little hand.

Du Wei finally lost control and changed her expression. "You! Qin Zhixiu! How long have you known this woman? You treat me like this for her? Ha! I know! She slept in your bed, didn't she? Oh no! I think she slept in more than one person's bed, right! It seems her skills in bed are good! Otherwise, how could you be so bewitched by a whore—ah!"

A teacup suddenly flew from Ruan Lin's toe toward Du Wei, scaring Du Wei into retreating several steps.

Jishi also furrowed his brows. "Kid Qin, if she can't control her mouth, don't blame me for not giving you face."

"Weiwei—"

"Enough... you all go, I want to be quiet for a while." He Lele stood up wearily, took off the jacket, and returned it to Qin Zhixiu.

"Lele!" The three men stood up and called out at the same time.

He Lele, who had endured for a long time, could no longer suppress the trembling of her body. Seeing this, Qin Zhixiu hurriedly covered her with the jacket and held her in his arms, turning to block the others' view.

"Qin Zhixiu! You! How long have you known this woman? You treat me like this for her? Hmph! Qin Zhixiu, you aren't acting just because I didn't accept you, are you? I'm telling you, this trick doesn't work on me!" Du Wei looked at the time and took a deep breath. "I'll give you five minutes. If you don't come down after five minutes, you don't have to come to my house anymore!" ===== CHAPTER 262 =====
