"Go home."
Ye Yunfeng spoke again. An Nuan's mind was buzzing, and she didn't even hear what he was saying. She just numbly followed his lead.
As An Nuan was being pulled away by Ye Yunfeng, Chu Lingchuan suddenly stood up and strode quickly toward her.
"Wait."
"Hmm?"
Ye Yunfeng turned around, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Chu Lingchuan.
A cheeky grin, tinged with a hint of recklessness, appeared on Chu Lingchuan's face.
Looking at An Nuan, Chu Lingchuan suddenly stepped forward, took her hand, and pressed a gentlemanly kiss onto the back of it, utterly disregarding how dark Ye Yunfeng's expression had become.
"Lu An Nuan, right? Don't be afraid. If he doesn't want you, I do. This young master has a soft spot for your type!"
"Get lost!" Ye Yunfeng spat out a single cold word, simultaneously pulling An Nuan forcefully behind him with a strong hand. Almost instantly, he swung a fierce kick toward Chu Lingchuan.
Chu Lingchuan instinctively dodged, forced to quickly release An Nuan's hand and jump backward.
"Ye Yunfeng, you're so ruthless," Chu Lingchuan grimaced, his face full of resentment. An Nuan was startled by Ye Yunfeng's sudden action.
Chu Lingchuan didn't seem like someone to be trifled with. Anyone bold enough to cause a scene in a casino surely had connections or skills. If Ye Yunfeng treated him this way, wasn't he afraid of retaliation?
She couldn't help but worry, carefully holding Ye Yunfeng's large hand and looking up at him, only to see disdain etched on his face. "I can be even more ruthless. You should know, as long as I..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're really heartless!" Before Ye Yunfeng could finish, Chu Lingchuan interrupted, his anxiety palpable. An Nuan observed his almost frantic impatience with a puzzled expression.
Did these two know each other?
"Ye Yunfeng, are you really married?" Chu Lingchuan asked, clearly skeptical.
Flings with women were one thing.
Marriage?
Would Ye Yunfeng allow a woman to tie him down? If he had wanted to, the marriage between the Ye family and the Chu family would have happened ages ago. His own cousin wouldn't have waited so long, only to see no interest from Ye Yunfeng.
"Have you ever seen me go out of my way for any woman?" Ye Yunfeng shot him an annoyed glance. Chu Lingchuan had to concede that he had a point.
He was well aware of Ye Yunfeng's foul temper since childhood. But for him to be serious this time was still somewhat surprising. The speed of it all was simply too fast.
"You're not creating this woman just to dodge your marriage with my cousin, are you? Did you come here hoping I'd put in a good word for you with the Chu family? While my cousin's personality is indeed a bit unpleasant, she's still a member of the Chu family, just like me, Chu Lingchuan. What makes you think I would help you?"
Chu Lingchuan's eyes narrowed, filled with interest as he regarded An Nuan. His playful gaze lingered on her, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable.
She instinctively flinched, completely hiding herself behind Ye Yunfeng's tall frame, feeling a little more at ease.
Ye Yunfeng was someone she couldn't afford to offend, yet she already had. But this Chu Lingchuan? She would absolutely not get involved with him.
She knew her own capabilities and understood that asking too many questions wouldn't benefit her.
It didn't matter what relationship Chu Lingchuan's cousin had with Ye Yunfeng; to her, it was all irrelevant.
Lu An Nuan's involvement with Ye Yunfeng was solely to save her mother. Now, she no longer cared about that, and everything else was insignificant to her.
"I'm sorry, I'm leaving now."
