When Song Xueyun was pushed out of the party hall, she had expected to bump her head against the wall but she had not expected to find herself in the arms that left her alone almost a decade ago.
“Are you hurt, Yunyun?” He had an audacity to ask after tearing apart her heart. It was funny, wasn’t it? She had been preaching for years how good her life was and how well she was doing but at this moment, when she was at her lowest, the person who she so badly wanted to show that she didn’t die without him was here to pick up her broken and scattered pieces.
Hot tears landed on her cheeks and she pushed him away to stand up on her feet but her stupid heels made her stumble and once again he caught her.
“Are you okay?” He asked. He looked so damn concerned at this moment that she had an urge to slap the hell out of him but at the same time she wanted to hug him and ask him about how he was doing. Such a conflicted mess she was. She was stupid, wasn’t she? Who thinks like her in this context? She was supposed to be angry at him not so fucking overwhelmed that she could not form a single word.
When he saw that she was not answering him, he looked at the man who threw her out of the venue with an icy glare. “What happened inside?”
“Look, Mister, I don’t know who you are. I’m just a normal security person here. I’m told to throw this woman out of the venue because she turned it into a battleground, ” The security person said to the person dressed in normal lounging clothes. It looked as if he was staying in the hotel which meant the man was a big shot who he couldn’t afford to offend.
“I asked what happened inside?” He asked once again.

Han Nanxian looked at the woman in his arms and then he looked at the polished gentleman who came running outside the party venue and understood why An Xiulan said polished gentlemen creeped the hell out of her.
Jack looked at Song Xueyun with another man and said, “Xueyun, let’s go home. We can discuss it in private. I know you are angry—” Before he could say anything else, he was punched in his nose and blood poured out of his nostrils.
“What the fuck–” Jack screamed before Han Nanxian moved and stood in front of Song Xueyun and began beating the douchebag who didn’t deserve this woman but had the audacity to hurt her. Who dared this asshole even think that he could hurt Xueyun?
In Han Nanxian’s life, Song Xueyun was like an unattainable goddess that he worshipped every single second he breathed.
How could he watch some douchebag hurting her?
“Someone call security, “Jack shouted as the madman beat him without any reason or rhyme.
“Nanxian!” Song Xueyun tried to stop him. “Don’t beat him.”
“Really, Yunyun?” Han Zixin stared at her for a while and stopped beating the douchebag. “You are stopping me because you still care for this douchebag.”
“First of all, I don’t care what he does or says from now on, ” Song Xueyun made her stance clear. “Secondly, I don’t want anyone to get arrested because of me. What he did…he will be punished for that….but I don’t want to owe you if you went to jail.”
Han Nanxian sharply inhaled and exhaled as he looked at the distant woman. Had he walked too far that he was ‘just anyone’ for her?
Jack stood on his feet and wiped his bloody face that was beaten black and blue. In the next few minutes, the police came and arrested both Han Nanxian and Jack. The hotel had filed a complaint that two people were fighting in the hotel space and disturbing other guests of the hotel.
Song Xueyun watched the police take away Han Nanxian. What was she supposed to do right now? In the end, she did what she should not have. She called An Xiulan right then. On the fourth ring, An Xiulan took her call.
“An Xiulan, I need your help, ” Song Xueyun said in a panicked tone.
“What’s wrong?” An Xiulan question. Just a few minutes ago, she was sleeping but now she was wide awake.
“Han Nanxian…” She couldn’t form her words.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What happened to him?” An Xiulan asked. “Should I call Zixin? Is he fine? Is he hurt? Why are you not saying anything?”
“The police arrested him, ” Song Xueyun confessed. “He and Jack were involved in a fight. “
“Oh…” An Xiulan said in a mysterious tone. After a while, she added, “What do you want me to help with? Bail papers? I have a colleague in Shanghai. He will contact you in a while. Don’t worry, Teacher Han will be out soon. Until then, stay with him. I can’t tell Zixin this late that his brother is in jail for beating a douchebag. My best friend worries so much.”
Song Xueyun wanted to just contact a lawyer and then leave but now she couldn’t do that. If not for Han Nanxian, she had to help him for her friend’s sake. Han Zixin and An Xiulan had been nothing but her good friends.
“Okay, ” Song Xueyun said in a soft tone.
On the other hand, An Xiulan quickly dialled her best friend’s number.
“Zixin, your brother is in Jail. Don’t worry, I planned for him to stay there for a few hours. Even God is on my side. Teacher Han beat the douchebag like he was a punching bag made to be beaten, ” An Xiulan evilly laughed. “I promise that I won’t let anyone hurt your brother but let me use this situation to play cupid.”
Han Zixin sighed. “Do what you deem fit. Just tell me what police station he is in. I have some connections.”
“Sir, Mr Deputy Police Chief, ” An Xiulan said like a soldier.
