"Who's foolish enough to run into my crosshairs again?" Lu Haoran roared impatiently.
With person after person appearing and being slapped, he had long lost his previous playful mood.
"Me." Xuan Mo Han said coldly. This brat couldn't even recognize his voice. Had years of默契 (mòqì - tacit understanding) gone to the dogs?
Seeing the man in a custom black suit stride over with a chilling aura, Lu Haoran instantly lost his temper.
"Mo, why are you here? I was just too angry earlier and didn't notice you, hehe!"
Lu Haoran scurried forward subserviently.
"Pfft!" Seeing Lu Haoran's fawning demeanor, Xia Han looked at him with disdain.
"I say, you woman, you truly are someone who won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Take her away, I don't want to see her for even another second."
Lu Haoran was almost amused to death by her.
"Wait." Xuan Mo Han frowned and repeated.
"Mo, you don't know, this woman colluded with her accomplice to steal my black card, and when I caught her, she refused to admit it. A woman like this..." Lu Haoran would ramble incessantly whenever he encountered Xuan Mo Han.
"She isn't." Xuan Mo Han's faint tone interrupted the noisy Lu Haoran.
"She should be locked up to properly... Huh? She isn't? What isn't she?" Lu Haoran asked in surprise.
"She isn't a thief." Xuan Mo Han, uncharacteristically patient, explained again. kAnshu伍.ξà
"Mo, you don't know, that thief secretly stuffed the card into her pocket as they passed by. They thought I wouldn't know, but I'm so smart, of course I saw something was wrong."
Lu Haoran said smugly, but before his smugness could last,
"Smart? I fear your brain is clogged with excrement." Xia Han mocked him unreservedly. She reached into her pocket, pulled her hand back, and opened her palm.
"How could there be anything in my pocket..."
Blinking and blinking again, Xia Han suspected her eyes were faulty, but hearing that annoying voice, she knew she wasn't mistaken.
"Pfft~ I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone as stupid as you, daring to take out the item. Well, you probably knew you couldn't escape today anyway." Lu Haoran inexplicably felt immense satisfaction and relief.
"She is the eldest daughter of the Xia Corporation, Xia Han." Xuan Mo Han said helplessly again, feeling that Lu Haoran's IQ was in the negatives today.
More importantly, she was a good friend of Lan Qianqian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so patient and said so much.
"Xia Corporation? You mean?" His smile froze on his face.
Just how brilliant he had been moments ago, Lu Haoran was now equally embarrassed.
This might be his most mortifying moment. Why would his brother sabotage him? Ahhh! And so many people saw it, he wished he could burrow into the ground!
Why should someone as handsome as him have this stain on his record!
No need to guess, everyone who needed to know would know soon. A blot on his life!!!
"I've seen stupid people, but never someone as stupid as you! Apologize to me!" Seeing as his brother had helped her out of trouble, she'd give him some face.
"Didn't you hit me too? We're even." Lu Haoran tried to mask his embarrassment by raising his voice.
"Didn't you pick a fight for no reason? And you touched me!"
Hit? Touched Xia Han? Interesting. Xuan Mo Han watched from the side, showing no intention of intervening.
Just as they were about to start arguing again,
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Lan Qianqian ran over, panting. She stopped and leaned on her knees, gasping for breath.
She hadn't known where Han Han was earlier, but seeing a crowd gathered here, she recognized her friend.
"Who are you?" Lu Haoran now felt that women were truly troublesome.
Seeing Lan Qianqian unable to catch her breath, Xuan Mo Han frowned and strode to her side, patting her back to help her calm down.
"Why did you run so fast? How are you? Do you want some water?"
Lu Haoran's mouth fell open. "Mo, who is she? I don't recognize her. What's your relationship?"
His jaw was about to hit the floor. Someone tell him: he was dreaming today.
Lan Qianqian simply shook her head, her face still flushed red.
Xuan Mo Han's brow furrowed as he glanced at someone beside him, immediately handing over a bottle of water.
Taking it, Xuan Mo Han opened the cap, supported Lan Qianqian's shoulder, and brought the bottle opening to her dry lips. "There, drink a little."
Lan Qianqian couldn't bother with anything else; she was truly parched. Taking the bottle from Xuan Mo Han's hand, she drank greedily.
"Drink slowly, no one's going to snatch it from you." Xuan Mo Han looked at her with adoration as she drank water so cutely.
This time, not only Lu Haoran, but everyone around, including Xia Han and a group of executives, was stunned. Only one person watched the unfolding drama silently: Li An, the chief assistant.
"What the hell, my god, Xuan Mo Han, what's with that lovesick expression?! We haven't seen each other in days, not years!!!"
Lu Haoran simply couldn't accept that his brother had changed so much in just a few days. He couldn't digest such a huge piece of gossip. No, no, he'd share it with their other brothers later.
He needed to calm down now. Ahhhh!!!
"Lan Qianqian!!!" A sudden roar made everyone jump.
"Cough, cough, cough." The unfortunate Lan Qianqian choked on the water.
Xuan Mo Han shot a cold glare at the instigator, whose imposing aura instantly vanished without a trace.
"My goodness, that man's gaze is terrifying." Xia Han rubbed her arm.
"Speak properly!" His voice was extremely cold.
