BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8
Qiao Mu truly felt that it was an unlucky day for her. Yu Tingyun’s cousin brother was aware of her lie, and she had even threatened her. She wondered if he would be petty and call her out on her lie.
Qiao Mu was nervous as she stood rooted to the spot, and she was thinking about what she should say if Li Yan ended up calling her out on her lie. But surprisingly, Li Yan said nothing else about the gift.
Soon, Li Yan had become the center of attention and was surrounded by many people. Qiao Mu took the opportunity to flee.
…..
The night sky was full of stars. Qiao Mu stood on a balcony upstairs. Even though the night breeze was blowing on her face, she was feeling very anxious.
For so many years, she had always been very careful when dealing with the members of the Qiao family. Her stepmother and stepsister did not like her, and she disliked them too. However, she always tried her best not to overstep her role so that she would not bring trouble to her father.
She knew that Yu Tingyun and her daughter had been trying to find fault with her so that they had a legitimate reason to destroy her relationship with her father. She had always handled things very well, and she never expected to slip up like this.
Qiao Mu balled up her fist. She must not let this happen!
Suddenly, someone opened the door. Qiao Mu immediately turned, and she saw Li Yan standing behind her.
The moment Qiao Mu saw Li Yan, she charged fiercely towards him and pressed him against the wall. She raised her leg and stepped on the chair beside him, and she looked like a gangster.
“I’m warning you. You better not spout nonsense and try to destroy my relationship with my stepmother. Even though you’re my stepmother’s cousin, they won’t believe what you say. You better know your place and stay away from my family affairs!”
Qiao Mu thought that she was emanating a fierce aura that was enough to scare the man before her, but to Li Yan, she was nothing but an angry, powerless cat.
Li Yan lowered his gaze to look at her, and he finally could not hold himself back anymore and laughed out loud. “Little thing, you’re definitely full of surprises.”
This little thing had really exceeded his expectations.
Qiao Mu was dumbfounded when she saw him laughing. Was he panicking because he was frightened? But judging from how arrogant his laughter was, he did not seem scared at all.
Li Yan narrowed his dark orbs and stopped laughing. In the very next moment, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. This time, he pressed her against the wall instead.
“What… What are you doing?” She looked vigilant.
“Little thing, you’re mistaken. I have something on you, and I should be the one who’s threatening you. You have no right to act so arrogantly in front of me!”
Qiao Mu’s expression changed. She thought that she would be able to scare Li Yan into submission by being fierce, but this man did not buy it at all. He was as clever as a fox!
Qiao Mu took the opportunity to raise her leg and kick his crotch. There was only a small distance between them, and the attack would have been successful if it was not for the fact that the other party reacted quickly. He grabbed her leg and secured it beside him.
Qiao Mu froze. She was wearing a dress, and she did not even wear stockings. His large hand was wrapped around her thighs, and she could feel the scorching temperature of his skin.
Li Yan smiled. “Why? Since you weren’t able to threaten me successfully, you decided to seduce me instead?”
‘What a bastard!’
Qiao Mu gritted her teeth. Ignoring the flush on her face, she smiled seductively. “Uncle, you look like a decent man. Why would you resort to grabbing your niece’s thigh?”
“Uncle? Miss Qiao, why would a niece climb onto her uncle’s bed?”
“What nonsense are you…” Qiao Mu refuted subconsciously, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly realized that something was not quite right.
