Long Yi moved towards Huangfu Yi step by step and he made his movements as slow as possible because he did not want to get near Huangfu Yi now.

"Are you crippled now?" Huangfu Yi turned to shout at Long Yi when Murong Xue walked away.

Hearing this, Long Yi was fueled at once and dashed to answer him, "Mr. Dragon!"

Glaring at him, Huangfu Yi ordered, "Go back to the Loong Pavilion now."

Everyone in the ballroom was guessing who Huangfu Yi was. Chu Yisen was shocked when he heard that Long Yi called Huangfu Yi Mr. Dragon and he began to doubt if Huangfu Yi was the leader of the Long Pavilion.

"What's wrong?" Mo Changfeng asked seriously.

Looking at the door, Mo Liufeng answered, "It seems that some big shot shows up."

Murong Xue found that she forgot Liu Huali when she got into the car, so she gave Mo Liufeng a call.

"Liufeng."

"Xue, what happened? Those people seem not to be very friendly. Did they threaten you?" Mo Liufeng asked hastily.

"I'm fine. I just have some work to do. Oh, I called to ask you for a favor."

"What? Just say it."

"Do you remember Liu Huali, who came with me tonight? Please tell him that I have to leave for something urgent."

"Sure. Anything else? Don't worry about bothering us since we owe you a big favor. We want to pay you back as we could." Mo Liufeng worried that Murong Xue hid things from him as he knew she would do this if things got tricky and she did not want to bother him. He and his family knew her well.

"Liufeng, I'm okay, really. Relax. Tell Aili this, too. I work in a medical institution now, so this is all about work." Murong Xue concealed from Mo Liufeng that it had something to do with the Loong Pavilion as she did not want to cause panic and she did not think that the Loong Pavilion was an evil organization.

Frowning, Mo Liufeng did not pursue the matter further, "Then take care of yourself at work." He knew the truth was not as simple as she said. He felt that he had met Long Yi before as he felt familiar with him, but he was unable to recall when their first encounter was. Besides, Mo Liufeng was sure that he did not know Huangfu Yi as the latter had such an impressive face.

Hanging up, Murong Xue drove to the Loong Pavilion's base at high speed.

Following Murong Xue's car, Long Yi was surprised that Huangfu Yi was fine with the current speed, for which he would have been punished in the past. He guessed that Huangfu Yi wanted to follow behind Murong Xue since he remained quiet. Long Yi was touched by how canny a subordinate he was.

Long Yi found that it was not a good time to talk to Huangfu Yi now when he tried to say something to break the silence. So he could only clear his throat and then he felt a chill in his back.

"Hasn't the newcomer been taught to greet her superiors? So arrogant." Huangfu Yi stared coldly at the women driving the red sports car before them.

Holding the steering wheel tight, Long Yi came up with hundreds of answers to Huangfu Yi's question, but he chose the most cunning one at last, "Yeah, we should punish her according to the Loong Pavilion's rules. Mr. Dragon, don't worry. I'll have them take her to the basement and teach her a lesson." In the Loong Pavilion, those who broke the rules would take their punishments in the basement.

"I think I should get rid of your hands first. You had a long handshake just now." Huangfu Yi teased in a horrifying way.

"No, please. Mr. Dragon, I need my hands to fulfill my duty." Long Yi begged, crying. The last thing he should do in the world was to mess up with Huangfu Yi.

"Maybe I should find someone to replace you. Then, your head can be gone as well."

Long Yi kept his mouth shut as he realized that nothing he said would cheer Huangfu Yi up. He knew that Huangfu Yi was only frightening him, so his life was not in danger.

On the other hand, Mo Aili in the ballroom watched Murong Xue leave and found her more mysterious.

Staring at the door, Chu Yisen was lost in thought. Mo Aili could not bear to see this, so she held his hand and took him to the sofa in the corner.

"You like her that much?" Mo Aili knew Murong Xue did not love this man back.

Having a look at Mo Aili, Chu Yisen simply answered, "I love her." He was still in shock. He now realized why he was unable to find who Huangfu Yi was before. For him, Huangfu Yi was on top of the world.

He was also worried about Murong Xue as this man was around her.

Although Mo Aili knew Chu Yisen liked Murong Xue, her heart twisted when she heard his answer. She knew she should stay away from this man if she did not want to get hurt, but she, sitting with him now, was intoxicated by his smell and was unable to move her body.

At this moment, she knew she got in big trouble.

Chu Yisen did not notice Mo Aili's strange response as he only took her as a little girl and Murong Xue's best friend.

Mo Aili bit her lip. She was unable to get jealous of Murong Xue not only because they were good friends but also because Murong Xue was too excellent to be reached.

"What if Xue falls in love with someone else? You will go on like this forever? Don't you see other women around you?" Mo Aili wanted to name herself.

"It has nothing to do with you." Chu Yisen looked at Mo Aili indifferently.

"How come it has nothing to do with me? I… I..." Mo Aili wanted to say she liked him, but she could not say it to his face.

Chu Yisen was confused, "What's wrong with you?" For him, what between them was only an accidental encounter in the street, which led to an unpleasant quarrel. He even did not take her as his friend and the only time they got along with each other was when they went to the snack street.

Mo Aili did not know what to say. She could not tell him that he mistook her for Murong Xue and deprived her of her first kiss that night.

"As the hostess, you might as well greet all your other guests instead of staying with me." Chu Yisen poured himself a glass of wine and said.

"It's okay. We all know that they come for my grandfather." Mo Aili poured herself a glass of wine.

Chu Yisen turned to look at her.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" Mo Aili forced herself to calm down.

"Don't you understand? Leave me alone." Chu Yisen said sharply.

Mo Aili blushed and was a little irritated, "I'm not going anywhere. This is my home. I can sit wherever I like." She did not expect that he wanted to get rid of her and she felt embarrassed as she seemed to be the one holding on to him.

Chu Yisen sighed and rose up. He was not in the mood.

"Hey, where are you going?" Mo Aili grabbed his sleeve.

"Miss Mo, it's none of your business. Let go."

"No." Mo Aili decided to have a contest with him. She refused to let him go. She did not understand why she liked him and he hated her.

Turning around, Chu Yisen stared at Mo Aili for a long time.

As time went by, Mo Aili's face became rosy red. She was very nervous, "What?"

"If you insist on doing this, I'll think you like me." Chu Yisen teased.

Hearing this, Mo Aili totally freaked out. She fluffed up like a cat, "Who likes you? You’re shameless."

"You'd better not. Let go." Chu Yi looked at her coldly. If Mo Aili hadn’t been Mo Changfeng's granddaughter or Murong Xue's good friend, he would have shaken off her hand now.

Mo Aili bit her lip, "You hate me?"

"No. But I don't like you, either. For me, you are no different from strangers in the street." Although his tone was plain, what he said was surprisingly hurtful.

Mo Aili did not know why she tortured herself like this. Every word Chu Yisen said became a dagger stabbing her heart hard.

Chu Yisen was confused about her change as he knew she used to dislike him.

"Drink with me. Xue is gone, and I don't know anyone else here except you. Don't go. Stay with me." Mo Aili made up a lame excuse.

Chu Yisen noticed her pale hand grabbing his sleeve. Looking around, he realized that her identity was only made known to the public today, so it was normal for her, a sixteen-year-old girl, to be frightened by such a grand scene. He forgot how people at this age would behave as Murong Xue was so different.

Helplessly, he sat back, "Okay. Sit down. But don't drink too much."

"Well." Mo Aili let go of his sleeve finally and said flatly. She picked up her glass and swallowed a long gulp of wine.

"You didn't drink it in the right way."

"You drank this way as well."

"I only drink to drown my sadness. Not to get myself drunk."

"Is Xue that good?" Mo Aili said flatly.

After a long time, Mo Aili heard his murmur, "Yes, she is the greatest of all."

Freezing for a while, Mo Aili thought to herself, "How cunning your answer is. How can I conquer the top of the world?"
