"Damn it, Di Mingjue, do you know what you're saying right now?" Ye Chenhan's temper flared, his body restless as he paced.
Compared to Ye Ziyu, Yu Xixi was the more troublesome one.
The person you fall for at first sight is always influenced by that initial impression, no matter what happens afterward.
Di Mingjue didn't understand why Ye Chenhan was reacting so strongly to Gu Xiuyu's name, but he needed to find a way to keep Gu Xiuyu away from Ye Ziyu.
"You can't do it?" he asked.
He had to prevent his girlfriend from becoming an ex-girlfriend while also enduring the skepticism directed at him.
Ye Chenhan impatiently demanded, "Where is he? Next door?"
"Yes," Di Mingjue nodded.
At this moment, Ye Chenhan was like a warrior filled with the desire to fight, storming out of the ward with a fierce aura.
Di Mingjue didn't care about the outcome. As long as Gu Xiuyu was kept away from Ye Ziyu for even a moment, he would be satisfied.
Walking down the corridor, Ye Chenhan's mind conjured countless ways to greet him. But the moment he saw the person, all his prior rehearsals became useless.
"Chenhan, I heard you and Xixi are dating," Gu Xiuyu said with a smile. "Congratulations. Be sure to send me an invitation when you get married."
Married? Invitation?
Was he not going to fight him for Yu Xixi?
Ye Chenhan's mind was a blank. Faced with the genuine smile on Gu Xiuyu's face, he immediately felt it was hypocritical. "Since you already know Xixi and I are dating, please stay away from her. Don't have any inappropriate thoughts about her."
Gu Xiuyu was taken aback by this statement, but his smile remained on his face. "Don't worry, Xixi is like a sister to me. Knowing she's dating and has someone to take good care of her, I'm very happy."
With that, Gu Xiuyu playfully punched Ye Chenhan's chest. "But you must not bully her, or I'll have to step in for her!"
This sentence, to Ye Chenhan's ears, transformed into a declaration of intent to win Yu Xixi back.
"You're dreaming! I will never give Xixi to you," Ye Chenhan declared, waving his fists belligerently. "I advise you to stay out of our sight, or my fists won't have eyes. Don't blame me for being ruthless if I hurt you!"
Gu Xiuyu sighed helplessly at his strong reaction.
He was Ye Ziyu's brother, and his intention was to build a good relationship with him. Later, when he was with Ye Ziyu, their interactions would be less awkward.
Now, it seemed, Ye Chenhan harbored great hostility towards him and was more inclined to side with Di Mingjue.
"How is Ziyu? As a friend, I'd like to see her, but Mr. Di is very protective and doesn't want me near her," Gu Xiuyu confided in him.
He was truly quite sick! On one hand, he wanted Yu Xixi to be obsessed with him, and on the other, he clung to Ye Ziyu, hoping she would fall in love with him.
Did he really think he was made of money, that everyone had to love him?
Ye Chenhan's expression turned cold, and he issued a stern warning. "Mr. Gu, you're an intellectual. Is it appropriate for you to constantly pester a married woman? Ziyu doesn't like you, so stop appearing around her and disturbing her marital relationship."
"Disturbing?" Gu Xiuyu's displeasure was evident. "Fourth Young Master, are you the one involved? How can you be so sure that my concern is a disturbance to Ziyu?"
"See those bodyguards at the door? Di Mingjue specifically arranged them for you. You're a talented man, and plenty of girls like you, so why must you resort to such underhanded tactics?" Ye Chenhan retorted unceremoniously.
But it was good that he was blind to good women, otherwise Yu Xixi would have been unlucky enough to be ruined by him.
Seeing the bodyguards at the door, Gu Xiuyu became angry. Di Mingjue was too cunning.
