Ultimate Goddess System 28 1.1.28: Tension

"How do you know about that?" Xiao Yunhua mumbled with a pallor.

"I think you know the reason." Zhou Feng said with narrowed eyes. His cold eyes flared with a foreign emotion—humor.

"I don't." She turned around to leave, but she suddenly felt a cold hand grip her hand, pulling her back. She frowned as she felt a wall behind her and a handsome man, Zhou Feng, towering before her. When she raised her head to meet his eyes, she realized that their faces were only centimeters away.

She could feel his warm breath tickling her; teasing her.

"Liar." He murmured softly, still holding his aura of aloofness.

Xiao Yunhua's face blushed even harder as she tried to use her hands to push him away. But, unfortunately, she was too weak and only laid her hands on his suit.

Noticing her actions, he chuckled but suddenly, his already cold eyes became even colder, "You rejected not only me, but my brother as well. Tell me, how did he manage to win your heart? Or is it because the temptation of bewitching a 'Zhou young master' is too much?"

Hearing his accusatory tone, the blus.h.i.+ng Xiao Yunhua's expression turned angry. This man! She thought that he would change his suspicions after all these years, and yet, he still had the arrogance to a.s.sume that everyone desired to be in his position.

"You are disgusting." She coldly uttered. She raised her knee to kneed him in his groin, but he caught her knee with his legs before she could do any damage. And surprisingly, he didn't release her knee, making their position very ambiguous for any outsiders that saw them.

"Let me go!" She yelled in fury, no longer able to tolerate such a man. For the system to place him as her target, she was thoroughly disappointed. Zhou Feng was too busy to drown in suspicion rather than allow himself to drown in love. This was an impossible case!

Seeing her obvious contempt for him, Zhou Feng frowned and narrowed his eyes. He had seen the way she smiled at his brother earlier and felt an inexplicable sense of envy. Grabbing both her hands to rest above her head, he leaned forward for the first time in his life to claim a woman's lips, but she dodged and he ended up kissing her cheek.

Zhou Feng sensed that she disliked him deeply, but he did not know why. Was it because of his words earlier? But he had only spoken the truth. He had already been hurt by what he later realized was his first love as a teenager, hence being wary.

It was a natural reaction.

"Why did you avoid it?"

"Because I have a sense of honor to not flirt with my boyfriend's brother." She bluffed. Mostly because she didn't like him right now because he was a true and thorough a.s.shole.

"Hmm, really? Blame yourself for being the first woman to make me desire to get scorched." He bemused, his cold eyes meeting hers.

Xiao Yunhua shot a glare at him, "Well, unfortunately, I'm a flame you can never touch. If you really want, I'm sure your existing fiancée would be happy to oblige." With a final surge of energy, she finally released her hands from his grip and pushed him away, not forgetting to glance at him him with a look of contempt.

Zhou Feng clenched his fists when he heard her words. He didn't even realize that she was already leaving.

Before he could help himself, he called out, bitterly, "He's not going to love you. To my young brother, you're just another one of his conquests. Besides, did you really think that you could walk into this family?"

Xiao Yunhua paused and turned around. Zhou Feng's eyes followed her graceful movements, desire filling his cold eyes.

"Whether or not Zhou Lang doesn't love me... doesn't concern you. As for the other matter, you don't have to worry, I wouldn't want to be part of such a sc.u.m family anyways." she paused and smirked at him, "I'm sure Zhou Lang and I would think of something when we cross that road." Her final sentence had meant to fuel his jealousy even more—and it worked.

At least from what Xiao Yunhua could see on his expression before she disappeared.

Unbeknownst to both of them, during this entire time, there had been one person watching their interactions—Zhou Lang. And deep in his heart, he felt disappointed with his brother while feeling possessive of Xiahu Yunhua. He knew that they ended on a sour note, but by all the years of flirting with women, he deeply sensed the s.e.xual tension between the two.

And he didn't like it. He felt a deep suffocation at the thought that Xiahu Yunhua... would leave him forever.
