"You are going to fall out with me over that Zhang Xuan?" Zhang Qian could hardly believe what he had just heard.
He did all of this in order to win the goodwill of Chen Leyao and the Glacier Plain Court, but why did it seem like his efforts were backfiring on him?
Weren't you so angry at him that you even wanted to make a move on him earlier? Why are you protecting him now?
"Zhang Qian, the previous slap was just a warning. I hope that you will know what's best for yourself!" Chen Leyao waved her hands casually.
"You... Why? I want to know why!" Overwhelmed with rage, Zhang Qian bellowed in agitation.
He really couldn't understand how the woman before him could be so fickle in her attitude.
"You don't need to know why. Just know that if you dare to cause any trouble to Zhang shi, you will be making an enemy out of me as well!" Chen Leyao replied with a steely and determined tone.
From her voice, there was no doubt that her words weren't just a mere threat. She wouldn't hesitate to make a move if Zhang Qian really dared to do anything to Zhang Xuan!
"You..." Zhang Qian clenched his fists tightly as his body trembled from anger. He wanted to lash out at the woman before him, and it took the final shreds of his rationality to prevent him from doing so.
Putting aside the fact that Chen Leyao was nowhere weaker than him, he couldn't afford to offend the Glacier Plain Court at this point in time.
"Very well..." Zhang Qian stared at Chen Leyao for a moment longer before suppressing his rage forcefully. Flinging his sleeves, he carried Zhang Yu up and walked away.
He had come all the way here to fawn on Chen Leyao, only to have his subordinate pummeled by the latter instead... The more he thought about it, the more furious he felt.
"Zhang Xuan, it's all your fault... If I don't make you pay the price for that, my surname shall not be Zhang!" Unable to vent his frustrations of Chen Leyao, Zhang Qian turned all of his hostility toward Zhang Xuan instead.
If not for that brat, how could he possibly suffer such humiliation? His relationship with those from the Glacier Plain Court wouldn't have turned awry either.
As this thought flashed across his mind, he turned around to glance in Chen Leyao's direction, only to see the latter looking at Zhang Xuan with a complicated look in her eyes.
"Damn it!" Seeing this, Zhang Qian's anger flared up once more.
But amidst this anger, some doubts emerged in his mind as well.
Chen Leyao was an aloof person who wouldn't even bother to keep up conventional politeness before others. Why would she suddenly regard that fellow so highly?
Was she charmed by him?
...
"Senior Leyao, Zhang Qian is an exceptional individual, be it in terms of background or talent. Is it really wise to fall out with him like that?" another young lady from the Glacier Plain Court walked up to Chen Leyao and asked.
She had gone off for a moment earlier, so she didn't hear the earlier conversation. All she saw was Senior Leyao making a move on Zhang Qian's subordinate, and this act left her deeply perplexed.
