Chapter 81 Something else

Yu Chen’s men were stunned when he suddenly stormed out of the car, slamming the door behind him. They were certain that he was in his raging state but the level of his rage surprised them, it was beyond their expectation.

His panda outfit didn’t make any difference this time. They could feel the intensity of his menacing aura which was much more intense than usual that even they couldn’t help but feel shivers crawling down their spine. All of these men with him knew what Yu Chen was like all along. They knew he wasn’t nicknamed ’The Devil’ for no reason. They knew the way he dealt with anyone who dared to go against him and they knew about his ruthlessness when provoked. When they started serving him, they learned very quickly about his temper, even if he was still a teenager back then. And the men who didn’t know his story couldn’t help bu think that he was born heartless, merciless and inhumane.

Knowing all this and having experienced it many times before, his men were not supposed to be surprised anymore but at that moment, they were utterly bewildered. They had seen the peak of Yu Chen’s rage on that horrifying night five years ago. That was the night when they saw just what kind of monster Yu Chen could become. They witnessed something even worse than their nightmares and there was no way they could ever forget it. Now, they were actually seeing him nearly having that same level of rage even though Luo Xiaolei was already safe? Just how important was Luo Xiaolei to him for him to rage to this extent? They didn’t even want to imagine what he would have been doing right now if things ended differently.

Yang Jin run his fingers through his hair, tugging it and looking ominous while watching Yu Chen. He was Yu Chen’s personal doctor but he was also a psychiatrist and he had been studying Yu Chen’s temper and peculiarities for a long time. What he concluded was that if Yu Chen was raging, he wouldn’t be able to calm down if he didn’t vent his rage towards the person who provoked him and his ruthlessness will depend on the level of his anger. There was no other way. It just wouldn’t work even if he tried to vent his anger on things or someone else.

"Damn, this is... what are we going to do? Are we really letting him go berserk while Miss Luo is here?!" Gu Wei, now looking extremely serious, asked Yang Jin in a low voice.

"You know, there is no way we could stop him, Gu Wei. The only thing we can do is take his fiancée away from here. Letting her watch him slaughter someone is the last thing we sould do."

"Right, Miss Luo shouldn’t witness something like this no matter what."

However, before Gu Wei could even take his first step towards the car where Yu Chen just came from, the car’s door opened and Luo Xiaolei came out.

They were all became tensed again at the sight of her because Yu Chen was already heading towards the van where they put Mr. Wang.

Luo Xiaolei looked a bit pale, obviously, a result of her fear. But the instant her eyes found Yu Chen, her expression changed. As if the frozen fear in her eyes were melted by something.

Gu Wei quickly moved towards Luo Xiaolei when again, to everyone’s surprise, the girl ran after Yu Chen.

The view of Yu Chen’s back – his fluffy white panda sweater and those cute dangling black ears – overthrown whatever negative emotions Luo Xiaolei was feeling at the moment. Even though his oozing bloodlust and killing intent didn’t subside at all, Luo Xiaolei’s fear seemed to have quickly evaporated, or more like, her fear had been soothed in an instant – most probably because of a certain irresistible thing called cuteness.

She started imagining a fuming big panda, raging like he was about to go and end the world and her tensed, which were frozen in fear a moment ago, softened. She couldn’t explain why but a crazy impulse to reach over and touch him suddenly occurred to her and then before she knew it, she was already running after him. Did reality still not fully set in her? She wondered, but she couldn’t stop anymore.

Just as Yu Chen raised his hand and touched the van’s door handle, Luo Xiaolei caught up and then... she collided with him, suddenly hugging him from behind.

Luo Xiaolei was confused. Since she met him, she always felt like she was being pulled by some invisible string towards him. She thought it was because of his mysteriousness. She thought it was because he was just too intriguing to ignore, too interesting to neglect and too beautiful to resist but it wasn’t just that. She just felt that there was something else and she wanted to figure out what that was.

As soon as she hugged the raging him, she felt his body turned completely still, stiff. It was as if she was King Midas and the instant she touched him, he became a golden statue.

Why couldn’t she leave this person alone even though the hair on her skin were standing as if a ghost was behind her? She didn’t want to think anymore. All she wanted was for this raging panda to calm down so they could finally go home.

This was the first time she held him like this and the first thing she noticed was his alluring and exquisite scent. His scent that seemed to be something nostalgic.

"Yu Chen, let’s go home. I miss Little Ran and Rui. They are waiting for us." She uttered against his back but there was no response from him.

Luo Xiaolei hugged him tighter around his waist. He was warm. The feeling she got from the first man she hugged in these past four years was shockingly comforting, safe. And then, she finally felt the fatigue of the day, the life and death situation she just went through, the fear and everything else that came with it. She even remembered that she didn’t eat dinner yet.

"Yu Chen, I’m... I’m hungry. Let’s go home now, okay?" She continued, as she buried her face on his broad back.

After three long seconds, Luo Xiaolei exhaled, and then without letting go of him, she tilted her body to see Yu Chen’s face. But because of his hood, she could only see his jaws clenched tight and his grip on the car’s door handle was so tight that tendons in his hands were standing out under his skin.

Seeing him like this Luo Xiaolei gulped. The next moment, she shifted her body and moved in front of him, still not letting go of his waist.

And then, she finally felt the stiff man moved. She looked at his half covered face for another three seconds. And then her hands climbed up, carefully, as she reached out for his hood. But just as she touched it, before she could pull it down to see his face, she was suddenly pushed.

Luo Xiaolei gasped and before she knew it, her back was now leaning against the van, and her eyes were covered by his palm.
