Guide To Reign My Tycoon Husbands - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Protected for once
For three minutes no one said a thing before —

“Wh—what just happened?” Xu Qiao asked in sheer disbelief. He was simply dumbfounded. Did he just see Luo Huian of all people fighting back for Fan Meilin? Did she actually beat someone up because they spoke dirty things about Fan Meilin?

Did that actually happen? His mind was refusing to accept this fact. After all, Luo Huian had always been a bully to Fan Meilin. Forget about saving him, it would be good enough that she did not bully him along with the rest.

And now that very woman beat someone up because they spoke badly of Fan Meilin.

It was like stumbling into an alternative reality.

Xu Qiao turned and looked at Fan Meilin who looked just as surprised as him. Certainly, he was not expecting such a thing to happen either. He must have expected Luo Huian to raise her hand but not at Ji Yao but at him.

For embarrassing and humiliating her with his tainted body. That was what she had said almost all the time.

“Are you alright?” Luo Huian was unaware of the thoughts that were going inside of the heads of the two mers. She turned around on her feet and looked at Fan Meilin before saying, “You look pale.”

“Ah, I—I am fine,” Fan Meilin dropped his head and looked at his feet that were curled up. “I am perfectly fine. Can you give me a few seconds?” Though he seemed to have asked Luo Huian, he didn’t wait for her response. He turned on his feet and walked away leaving Xu Qiao and Luo Huian alone.

Xu Qiao: (# ﾟДﾟ) ﾑｯ! Wait! Take me with you, I am scared.

However, Fan Meilin did not have any telepathic powers.

He couldn’t grasp what Xu Qiao was trying to tell him through his silence and left the room. Stunned and scared, Xu Qiao turned to look at Luo Huian who was frowning while watching Fan Meilin go inside the room.

As she turned to look at him Xu Qiao flinched and he turned even more scared.

‘F—Fan Meilin, why did you have to leave me alone with her!’ Xu Qiao shed tears of blood in his heart while trying to pull his lips up in a polite smile.

“N—Nice punch?” He offered to Luo Huian who was looking at him.

The latter scowled at him and Xu Qiao jumped in the air like a hamster in front of a snake.

On the other side, Fan Meilin was crouching on the floor. With his knees drawn close to his face, he didn’t know what to feel about Luo Huian’s actions.

In fact, it was the first time someone had defended him against those hideous allegations. In the past, even his parents would ask him why did he have to cut himself short like that.

While his daddy cried while hugging him, his mother blamed herself for not protecting him better. Everyone blamed either themselves or him.

His friends tried to stand up for him but they were too weak to stop either Liao Hong or Ji Yao. Sometimes, he would have to step in between to protect them.

For the first time in his life, he felt protected instead of worrying, feeling guilty or scared.

Like he too could rely on someone after making a mistake like that? Like he could also live without feeling guilty.

It was a sort of weird feeling. But it didn’t feel bad, instead, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

‘Maybe I can get used to this feeling?’ Fan Meilin thought while rubbing his head, the blush coating his cheeks was yet to recede.

While Fan Meilin was trying to calm himself down, on the other side, Xu Qiao was sitting nervously on the couch while peering at Luo Huian.

There were a lot of questions he wanted to ask but every time he opened his mouth, his gaze would fall on Luo Huian’s hands.

Though she had wiped her hands with tissue paper, the skin which broke when she had punched Ji Yao with all her might was still bleeding. It terrified Xu Qiao.

He was worried that she would hit him too if he was to annoy her and that was honestly the last thing he wanted to do.

“What are you looking at me like that for?” Luo Huain asked as she raised her head and stared at Xu Qiao right in the eye. It made him flinch as he smiled awkwardly.

“Ahaha, it’s nothing,” Xu Qiao turned his gaze away and casually remarked, “I never knew that you were this strong, Miss Huian. Now it seems like I need to worry about my Brother Meilin.”

Luo Huian raised her brow at Xu Qiao’s remark before saying, “I don’t hit mers.” In fact, she couldn’t hit anyone other than those who were evil or rotten to the core.

Fortunately, that woman called Ji Yao fell in one of those categories or it would have been a really good show if her punches felt like cotton balls to that woman.

Xu Qiao turned surprised upon hearing Luo Huian’s words. Don’t hit mers? This was his first time hearing this—no, wait a second.

Though he had heard Fan Meilin complain a lot about Luo Huian, he had not once heard about Luo Huian hitting him. So this was probably true.

Back then they thought that it was because she was way too weak to do such a thing but now it seemed like — they were wrong. Luo Huian could mess any mer if she wanted, she just didn’t want to.

Xu Qiao narrowed his eyes before hesitating a little. But then,

“Don’t you have anything that you want to ask me? Like whether what Ji Yao just said was true or not?” It was truly weird to see Luo Huian sitting so calmly without yelling and throwing things at Fan Meilin.

Of course, it could also mean that Luo Huian had no feelings for Fan Meilin as she didn’t even remember anything.

“Why should I?”
