They were far away from that fortress. Murong Xue's phone rang. Finally, it had signals. She took out and checked and found out there were many missed calls, which were all from Chu Yisen and Mo Aili...

She immediately called Chu Yisen and he picked up quickly.

"Xue, where are you? Are you okay?" Chu Yisen sounded worried and anxious with his rough voice from the other side of the call.

"Yisen, I'm okay. It didn't have signals yesterday, so I didn't call you..." Murong Xue explained.

Chu Yisen rubbed his head, which was a little bit painful. It was such a relief to hear her voice, "When do you come back?"

"I'm going back to the apartment now. I might be later. Sorry, Yisen. I let you worry..." Murong Xue said with guilt.

"There's nothing for you to be sorry for. You're safe and that's okay. I'm at the apartment now, waiting for you..." Chu Yisen said.

"Okay, see you later."

Then Murong Xue called Mo Aili who said she already called her parents. Luckily, she knew nothing happened. Otherwise, Mo Aili would be so worried. She also complained about Huangfu Yi and said she didn't like what he did, but she also praised how handsome he looked...

Hearing what she said, Murong Xue laughed. Unquestionably, Mo Aili was funny and Murong Xue could always relax in front of her. She treasured her relationships with Mo Aili and hoped they could be friends forever...

While driving, Huangfu Yi still paid attention to what Murong Xue said. Her laughter came into his ear and it made him look at her. That smile was different from how she used to smile with him, which made her brighter...

His heart beat fast suddenly. He turned around when she looked at him. Suddenly, he was afraid of looking at her in the eyes.

Murong Xue paused for a while but didn’t care too much about it. Then she called Gu Ming.

"Gu Ming..."

"Xue, do you come back?" Gu Ming remembered she said she was going to come back these two days.

"Yeah, I'm in A province now. Later, I'll drop by to visit the company. Are Luo Shengfei and Mo Ziwen there? It's 12 o'clock. I'll be there at 5. We should have a meeting." Murong Xue said.

She didn't care about Huangfu Yi because she believed Huangfu Yi didn't care about their small business. A door in that strange building might be more expensive than her whole company, so she didn't need to worry that Huangfu Yi might be interested in her company...

"They are here. I'll tell them."

"Okay, see you afternoon."

Huangfu Yi was not surprised about her company because when he left her in the capital, he already had someone look up everything about her since she was a kid, including people around her...

She only had a few days off, so she had to arrange everything in A province including that plan to encircle cities from rural areas, which was about to happen. She would be busy in the next few days...

She glimpsed at Huangfu Yi after finishing the phone and wondered to ask what kind of person he was. But might he think she didn't mean well if she asked? If she hadn't seen all those things, she could've told herself he was that kind of rich kid overseas, but now, she would be an idiot to think Huangfu Yi was just a normal businessman. Those guards had some seriously powerful equipment...

She kept looking at him and he knew. He started to be nervous and didn't know what to think. After a long time, Huangfu Yi couldn't help but ask, "Xue..."

Scared by him, Murong Xue came back to earth, "Yii... Who are you?" She finally asked. She didn't mind, but she had to think for her parents. She had to think about every dangerous thing because she swore she would protect her parents and the Murong Family this life...

Huangfu Yi held the steering wheel tight. After a while, he said, "I'm Mr. Dragon." He ignored his oath when he accepted this title, which was that he could tell no one about who he really was except people surnamed Long in Loong Pavilion, like Long Yi.

"Mr. Dragon? What is that? Never mind. It might be some organization overseas..." Murong Xue said to herself.

Huangfu Yi smiled and said nothing. They came to A province quickly.

They arrived at her apartment in A province not after long. Murong Xue wanted him to go, but he insisted on walking her upstairs, so she let him do it...

When Murong Xue went upstairs to the floor where she lived, she saw Chu Yisen waiting in front of her room, "Yisen..."

Chu Yisen looked up and saw her. He stepped forward and held her, "You finally came back..." He was completely relieved when he saw her. He was so worried before when he couldn't see her...

His rough voice and lonely look in front of her room made her impossible to resist him. She didn't expect he would be that worried. She only had one look at him and noticed how tired he was...

Huangfu Yi stood behind them and didn't pull them away. His eyes were scary. Every time he held her, she would resist him as much as she could, but she didn't get rid of this annoyed man but accepted him gently. Why?

Huangfu Yi thought of what Murong Xue said to him that she didn't love him and they could never become lovers for no reason. Then who did she love? Did she love this guy here? Huangfu Yi felt blue with pain in his heart...

Not after long, Chu Yisen let go of Murong Xue. He held her shoulder and said, "Xue, I can't. I don't want you to be out of my eyesight. I worry about you..."

Murong Xue completely froze. Chu Yisen... She didn't want to hurt him, but letting him be like this was hurting him, "Yisen, you know, I..." She couldn't say out loud that she didn't love him, especially when he was like this with hair messing up, the mustache on the chin, and dark circles under his eyes...

Chu Yisen smiled and acted like he didn't care, "I know. You don't have to say it. I understand... But we're still friends. You're going to shut me down as your friend..."

"Yisen, I didn't mean that... Thank you..." Murong Xue, with tears rolling in her eyes, thanked Chu Yisen's caring... "Alright, let's go inside. It's not a good idea to stand here." She said while opening the door.

Chu Yisen walked into her apartment as if it had been his own place. Huangfu Yi saw him holding a bottle of water, drinking it, and then sitting on the couch, which seemed as if he had been the owner of the house...

"Yii, what do you drink?" Murong Xue asked Huangfu Yi who was still standing at the gate. "Come in and have a sit, or you're leaving now?"

"I'll have tea, and I'm not leaving." He felt more uncomfortable because he noticed a little difference between him and Chu Yisen by only one action. He was even more jealous because of it and he wanted to do something to drive this feeling away...

Murong Xue made tea for Huangfu Yi and said, "If you have anything else, you could leave..."

Chu Yisen glimpsed at Huangfu Yi and said, "I don't have anything to do in A province. What about you, Xue?" Actually, he had lots of things to deal with, but how could he let Murong Xue be alone with this man...?

Murong Xue looked at Huangfu Yi, "Yii, I remembered you have lots of things to handle?" She didn't mean anything, and she just thought they didn't have to mind her and could deal with their own things...

Huangfu Yi held his fists because it was like she was trying to kick him out. He looked at Chu Yisen and could see his mock. He calmed himself down and said, "Nothing important..." After saying this, he looked at Murong Xue, which seemed to check her reaction...

Murong Xue started to worry because she had something to deal with, but it seemed like these two men didn't want to leave. She said helplessly, "Suit yourself. I have to take a shower..."

She felt uncomfortable wearing the same clothes as yesterday. She went upstairs after finishing talking, locked the door, and entered the restroom to take a shower...

They stared at each other coldly in the living room. They both looked like they wanted to kill each other.

"What are you trying to do to Xue?" Chu Yisen asked. He thought Huangfu Yi was dangerous and he couldn't be relieved when someone like him was around Murong Xue...
