Bypassing Meng Jingwei, she walked to Qing Muye’s side and intimately linked her arm through his.
The man immediately pulled his arm away. "Young Master Liannuo, please respect yourself."
After speaking, he pulled Meng Jingwei, letting her stand between him and He Ka Liannuo.
Meng Jingwei’s face rippled with a genuine smile at Qing Muye's rejection.
"What are you smiling about?"
He Ka Liannuo's small face sank. "Are you feeling good seeing your husband reject me?"
She disliked hiding things and would say whatever was on her mind face-to-face.
Meng Jingwei shrugged her shoulders. "Probably because I'm here. How about I leave first, to give you two some private space?"
"Tch, this Young Master doesn't crave your pity."
She raised her hand and, in turn, linked her arm with Meng Jingwei's. "Even if I like your man, this Young Master will still snatch him away with my personal charm."
"Mmm, I admire Young Master Liannuo's confidence."
Speaking of it, it felt strange.
Facing a love rival, Meng Jingwei should have strongly rejected He Ka Liannuo. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to dislike such a frank and straightforward person.
She had to admit that He Ka Liannuo possessed a certain charisma.
"I thank you. You just need to tell your husband not to be as ruthless to me as he was to Anthony."
He Ka Liannuo's words saw through everything.
Meng Jingwei tilted her head and glanced at Qing Muye beside her. The couple exchanged a look and smiled at each other.
"Nothing can be hidden from you, it seems," she said.
"Of course. If I were that foolish, how could I be a Hidden Master in the future?"
"You're about to become a Hidden Master, yet you're still so close to me. Aren't you afraid I'll make a move on you?"
"If you wanted to make a move, you would have done so already. Why would you wait until now?" He Ka Liannuo smiled beautifully. "Do you think I'm close to you two just because you're good-looking?"
"Then what is it?" Meng Jingwei was a little curious.
He Ka Liannuo rolled her eyes at her. "Of course, it's because you two still have a bit of personality and charm."
"Hehehe, Young Master Liannuo flatters me."
Meng Jingwei was amused.
The three passed through the front courtyard and, led by a servant, arrived at the back courtyard. In the hall of the back courtyard, they met Anthony.
Anthony was still in his silver-grey suit, but his left hand was wrapped in bandages, his left palm gone.
He sat in the main seat, looking at the He Ka clan members in the living room, and sneered, "I came to your Hidden Tribe, and you promised me safety. Should you not give me an explanation now?"
He Ka Qingtang, He Ka Yanyi, He Ka Lingchuan, Han Junyan, and others were all present.
Of course, Antina and Xiao Cheng were not.
"Prince Anthony, you claimed Xiao Cheng was the one who harmed you. We have captured him for you. How do you wish to handle him?"
A metal IV stand was placed beside Anthony, with a drip bag hanging from it. His face was as pale as paper, clearly severely injured and having only recently awakened.
"Where is Xiao Cheng? Bring her to me..."
He only managed half a sentence before he saw He Ka Liannuo, Meng Jingwei, and 'Iron Pillar' walking in from outside.
"Prince Anthony, are you alright?"
He Ka Liannuo released Meng Jingwei and walked forward, feigning concern. "I heard you were injured and rushed here without delay. I am truly sorry for frightening you."
Meng Jingwei and her husband stood to the side, saying nothing.
The injured Anthony felt it was a profound humiliation. Hearing He Ka Liannuo's words, he merely glanced at her, his gaze finally falling on Meng Jingwei.
His sharp eyes held a hateful glare, but due to some ignoble matters, he found it difficult to speak.
"Where is Xiao Cheng? Bring him here, bring him here!!!"
After being injured, Anthony suffered massive bleeding and had fainted from the pain.
