=====
Zhang Mu had to admit that the female lead Xie Ruolin, this dark rose, was truly captivating.
She appeared to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. A bit older than Su Muwan and Zhang Yuxin. But not too old. Just between youthful and mature.
Her delicate facial features were exceptionally exquisite, with a tiny beauty mark at the corner of her eye adding even more charm to her allure. It could be said that just based on her appearance, countless men would fall for her.
Her figure was also top-notch. Xie Ruolin, in a black off-shoulder dress, had snow-white shoulders that were strikingly eye-catching, and her delicate collarbones added to her exceptional elegance. With her perfect figure and curves in all the right places, she was stunning.
Zhang Mu felt no pressure at all.
After all, only the main character in a wish-fulfillment novel would obtain such beauty.
"You're planning to scheme against me, right? Then I'll just play along with you." Zhang Mu acted like a brainless playboy and was fully convinced that Xie Ruolin and Ye Fan had some conspiracy against him. So, it wasn't surprising that Xie Ruolin would cooperate with him.
But Ye Fan, who was sneaking a peek from the side, couldn't contain his anger. He wasn't just angry at Zhang Mu but also speechless at Xie Ruolin.
Before coming here, he had investigated carefully!
Xie Ruolin, this incredibly beautiful woman, appeared seductive on the surface and often went to clubs. But she had always maintained her purity and never let another man touch her, remaining incredibly pure. But now, how could she allow Zhang Mu to touch her like this? Could it be that this woman was actually a loose woman?
Watching Zhang Mu continuously touching Xie Ruolin's sensitive spots and Xie Ruolin smiling and not resisting at all, Ye Fan was infuriated. Regardless, this woman must belong to him, Ye Fan! He must claim her!
After all, not only was Xie Ruolin herself breathtakingly beautiful with a perfect figure, but also, as the queen of intelligence gathering, her information network was equally important. So, Ye Fan had long regarded her as his own woman. How could he let Zhang Mu take her?
Even though Xie Ruolin seemed to cooperate with Zhang Mu without resistance, Ye Fan still decided to take action!
With a dignified demeanor, Ye Fan strode over to the table where Zhang Mu and Xie Ruolin were sitting and directly slammed his hand down on the table with a loud bang.
Zhang Mu and Xie Ruolin both turned to look.
With a face full of righteousness, Ye Fan reprimanded Zhang Mu, "Young Master Zhang, we meet again! You still have no manners, actually forcibly pouring alcohol for the lady!"
Seeing that Ye Fan finally came to pick a fight, Zhang Mu felt delighted. Finally! He didn't give up hope!
If Ye Fan hadn't come over, he would have suspected the protagonist had developed a cuckold fetish.
Of course, while feeling ecstatic, Zhang Mu still had to play his part as a competent villain. Looking at Ye Fan with an arrogant smile, he retorted with a sneer, "Who the hell are you? Are we familiar? Do you have any authority over me?"
As Zhang Mu provoked with his words, he also stood up forcefully as if preparing to defend himself. But in reality, he had no intention of defending. At the same time, he was thrilled.
Haha! The protagonist, Ye Fan, was finally going to hit me!
Before, he was always too afraid to do so, thinking this guy had turned into a coward. How could he bear so much? Thankfully, Ye Fan was still Ye Fan, and the protagonist was still the protagonist!
Zhang Mu's defense was naturally just a pretense. He was waiting for Ye Fan to throw a punch. Then, he would follow the original plotline, being beaten down and receiving a good beating. Cheng Haonan and the others would come over to join in the beating. Then Ye Fan would act all cool and take the beauty home.
But just as Zhang Mu was waiting to be hit, Ye Fan, preparing to enjoy punching Zhang Mu's face, something unexpected happened.
They both saw a slender arm holding an open folding fan, interposing between Ye Fan's fist and Zhang Mu's cheek. Then they heard a crisp and pleasant voice saying, "Mister, it seems you've misunderstood something."
Zhang Mu and Ye Fan, both in a daze, turned their heads simultaneously. Then they saw the sexy and charming Xie Ruolin smiling and saying, "I voluntarily drank with Mr. Zhang. I wasn't forced to drink."
