Chapter 44 - Incoming Slap
CHAPTER 44
That was it, the thread that held Li Jing's anger broke. She had had enough of his mouth running and spouting rubbish.
The next thing Ye Cheng who was watching the whole display knew, Li Jing lifted her hand to slap Duan Tain but the latter was prepared and caught her small hands in his and pushed her hand away.
"And what do you think your useless outburst can do for you? Your anger only proves I am saying the truth and nothing else. You are just a worthless piece of trash."
"I may not be able to hurt you physically, Duan Tian, but at least I am not the worthless piece of trash that you say. My only mistake was ever falling for you and believing your lies of love. What about you? You are so quick to judge and point accusing fingers at someone. Aren't you a dog who only follows the direction of his erection and sleeps around?"
At Li Jing's insult, Duan Tian's face darkened. He had least expected to the meek and quiet Li Jin to have such a sharp mouth.
"Weren't you sleeping with that loose dog called my sister? And who knows just how many other women you pumped your infertile seed into. I am not the trash Duan Tian, you are the one, you and your useless fiancé."
'Whoa! Who knew she had such a sharp tongue. Impressive.' Ye Cheng mentally applauded Li Jing and his lips curved upwards revealing a small smile.
"Why you…" Duan Tian already lost it. He was not ready to be the one embarrassed today and in front of this stranger.
Not saying another word more, Duan Tian raised his hand, ready to impale Li Jing with a hot slap.
Li Jing who was not expecting his reaction was shocked when she saw him lift his big hand and was bringing it down to her face.
She closed her eyes before the slap could make home their mark in anticipation of the brutal hit she was about to receive.
One!
Two!
Three!
But the slap never came. She blinked after some seconds and finally opened her eyes only to be met with Duan Tain's hand hanging in the air right above her head.
She opened her lips in a silent gasp as her eyes moved about in their sockets trying to process what was happening.
At that moment she saw his hand move a bit but was stuck in place. Instinctively she raised head up and saw what was preventing his hand from moving and giving her he slap.
Ye Cheng's hand was holding unto Duan Tian's in the air in a tight grasp. Duan Tian struggled, trying to free himself from the hand now causing his wrist to ache, but the more he struggled the more pain he got as Ye Cheng's grip tightened.
"Let go of me you bastard," Duan Tian cursed as he glared daggers at Ye Ceng who had a look of indifference mixed with curiosity in his eyes.
"I wonder what would happen if I yielded to your request," Ye Cheng remarked with a wicked grin.
Duan Tian was about cursing him as he pulled his hand back one last time but when his eyes met with Ye Cheng's he was shocked by the coldness and danger in his eyes as a dark glint seem to flash by his eyes that very moment.
Seeing the look of danger in his eyes, Duan Tian's heart skipped a bit and pulled harder at his hand. Unfortunately for him, Ye Cheng was not ready to let go and he yanked his hand backwards, pulling Duan Tain closer to him.
Alarmed, Duan Tian pulled back with his might and at the same instant, Ye Cheng let his wrist go, causing the latter to stagger backwards and lose his footing, falling to the ground.
Li Jing who was in the middle watching the struggle happen was shocked beyond words at the outcome. Instinctively, she tilted her head further back to look at Ye Cheng and her eyes met with his cold expression, causing her to tremble slightly.
Because of his height and her leaning back too much she lost her balance and fell back. Luckily for her, his ever strong muscular body was there to hold her and prevent her from suffering the same fate as Duan Tian.
Ye Cheng once more steadied her with his arms, helping her lean on his chest for support then lowered his gaze to look at her. Their eyes met and just when Li Jing opened her mouth to talk, Duan Tian spoke.
"How dare you! I would make you pay and wish you never crossed paths with me."
"I only let you go as you requested."
"Liar! If you hadn't held my wrist so hard, then…"
"If you had not attempted to hit her, then I wouldn't have had to stop you," Ye Cheng countered him.
A mischievous smile broke out on his lips again, sending a chill down Duan Tian's body.
