Chapter 46: The Irresponsible Man

Lin Mofei was so furious that he laughed instead.

No matter how profound his tactical composure or how skillful his facade, he could no longer maintain his persona in front of Gu Yaqing.

If he were to keep up this act any longer, he would practically become a cuckold.

Not only did this Li Moxuan intend to forcefully kiss his fiancée in public, but he even had the audacity to claim he could wipe out the Lin family at will.

What level of existence was the Lin family?

How dare a mere ant like Li Moxuan spout such reckless nonsense?

Lin Mofei glared viciously at Li Moxuan.

"Li Moxuan, I previously thought you were nothing more than a clown. The only reason I let you live until today was because I viewed you as a joke, but it never crossed my mind that a clown like you would repeatedly trample upon my bottom line."

"Very well. Then I shall let you experience firsthand just how disastrous the consequences of angering me, Lin Mofei, truly are."

Boom...

A formidable aura belonging to an advanced Xiantian martial artist erupted swiftly from Lin Mofei's body.

It instantly enveloped the entire hotel corridor.

Even the furnishings inside the hotel began to hum and vibrate.

As the eldest legitimate son of the Lin family—one of the three major sects and six great clans of Wushi—and the future head of the household, he was naturally no mediocre individual. To have reached the advanced Xiantian realm at such a young age, Lin Mofei indeed possessed the capital to be arrogant.

Murderous intent flashed blatantly in Lin Mofei's eyes. If Gu Yaqing hadn't been standing so close to Li Moxuan, he probably would have already struck directly to ruthlessly eradicate Li Moxuan.

Seeing Lin Mofei boiling with rage and fully unleashed, Li Moxuan deliberately put on an extremely punchable and provocative attitude to egg him on.

"Fine, then make a move! If you have the guts, hit me! Come on, come on!"

"I am going to keep pursuing Yaqing, so what can you do about it? We were childhood sweethearts, pure and innocent. Back in Peach Blossom Village, we were the definition of youthful extravagance, enjoying the moonlight amidst the flowers..."

"Yaqing and I were destined for each other from the heavens. You insist on shamelessly crowding in here clinging to the title of fiancé; you thoroughly deserve to have a bright green cap on your head."

Even though Li Moxuan now knew Gu Yaqing still held feelings for him, Lin Mofei remained her official fiancé at present.

If he were to eliminate Lin Mofei without a word while the misunderstanding between him and Gu Yaqing had yet to be resolved, acting recklessly might anger Gu Yaqing or even cause her to mistake him for a bloodthirsty demon, thus driving her away from him.

This was not the outcome Li Moxuan desired.

However, if Lin Mofei took the initiative to attack, and Li Moxuan killed him in self-defense, then Lin Mofei would only have his own inferior strength to blame, leaving no room for grievance.

Watching Li Moxuan provoke him frantically right before his eyes, Lin Mofei clenched his fists so hard they cracked.

This bastard was simply too despicable and desperately needed a beating!

Lin Mofei sneered, his expression distorted by a vicious, malevolent aura.

"Fine! Then I'll grant your wish!"

Lin Mofei morphed his fist into a claw, lunging fiercely toward Li Moxuan's throat.

He intended to snap Li Moxuan's neck with his bare hands and tear him into pieces.

At that exact moment, Gu Lang, who had been standing quietly to the side for quite some time, stepped forward and blocked Lin Mofei.

"Hold your horses!"

Lin Mofei's handsome face was twisted and ferocious, having completely lost control. Gone was his previous gentle and refined demeanor.

"Lang-ge, you saw it yourself! This fellow proactively came looking for death. Don't stop me; I have to snuff him out today!"

Gu Lang let out a helpless sigh.

"Before that, I need to figure out what is going on here. Who is he?"

Dressed entirely in white, Gu Lang possessed an otherworldly, steady, elegant, and extraordinary demeanor. Handsome in appearance, he immediately looked like a young master from an immensely wealthy and prestigious family.

Seeing Gu Lang speak up, Lin Mofei managed to suppress the rage in his heart and exercised a modicum of restraint.

"His name is Li Moxuan. He's Yaqing's childhood sweetheart, and their relationship is quite ambiguous!"

With a trace of lingering dissatisfaction, Lin Mofei turned his head aside, his words carrying a hint of reproach toward the Gu family. After all, his fiancée was entangled with another man.

Gu Lang had been unaware of this matter.

He furrowed his brows in profound astonishment.

"A childhood sweetheart? How come I knew nothing about this?"

Yet, almost immediately, Gu Lang seemed to recall something.

His gaze turned sharp as he fixed his eyes on Li Moxuan, his tone laden with blame and anger.

"Punk, I can let bygones be bygones regarding what happened between you and my sister in the past, but from now on, stay far away from her! If you dare to hurt her again, I will undoubtedly tear you to shreds."

"Besides, given your background, you are utterly unworthy of her."

Li Moxuan curled the corners of his lips into a cold sneer.

"You like to mind other people's business, don't you?"

Li Moxuan looked at Gu Lang, instantly discerning from the man's aura that he was a peak Grandmaster martial artist.

His strength was indeed formidable, quite fitting for the status of the eldest son of the Gu family. However, this level of power was still nothing more than an ant in the eyes of Li Moxuan.

Gu Lang gazed coldly at Li Moxuan.

"I am her older brother. Do I not have the right to intervene?"

Li Moxuan chuckled lightly.

"Fair enough, brother-in-law!"

Gu Lang let out a snort of disdain.

"Who is your brother-in-law? Stop trying to cozy up to me."

"You must be that punk from Peach Blossom Village, aren't you? You caused harm to my sister, and instead of me hunting you down, you've actually dared to show up here."

"If my sister hadn't stopped me, I would have killed you long ago. You irresponsible scoundrel! Because of your momentary pleasure, you caused my sister to suffer for all these years. Do you have any idea how much hardship she endured for you?"

"To raise the child, she even severed ties with the family, enduring bitter hardships all by herself to bring the child up. Working three jobs simultaneously, she was worked to skin and bone and suffered from severe malnutrition. She is, after all, a respected young lady of the Gu family! Every single bit of suffering she endured was because of you!"

"And where were you at that time?"

Gu Lang let out an angry huff, clearly holding Li Moxuan in utter contempt.

"Ge!"

Seeing Gu Lang bring up the past, Gu Yaqing rebuked him sharply.

Gu Lang pressed his lips together and earnestly tried to persuade her:

"Sister, you cannot fall into the same trap twice. You'd better stay away from this kind of person."

"This shameless man is nothing more than a parasite. He is simply deceiving your feelings. You must keep a clear head!"

Gu Yaqing remained silent, merely shaking her head before turning to walk toward the elevator lobby.

"Sister!"

Gu Lang hurriedly gave chase.

Lin Mofei glared viciously at Li Moxuan once more.

"Li Moxuan, enjoy the little time you have left."

With those words, Lin Mofei also turned and left.

Li Moxuan watched the three figures receding into the distance, pondering the implications of what Gu Lang had just said.

A child? Severing ties with the family? Irresponsible? Enduring bitter hardships?

Connecting these keywords together, one could easily piece together a melodramatic family epic within minutes.

Wait a minute, wasn't Gu Yaqing unmarried?

She was still Lin Mofei's fiancée as of right now, so where on earth did she get a daughter?

Bringing the child up through bitter hardships...
