Chapter 560: Who Are You to Control Me!

“But...” Another girl glanced at Gong Zeli and said, “He’s so handsome... it’s forgivable that he has some personality flaws, right? If I could marry him, I wouldn’t mind getting punched a few times by him.”

“... You’re hopeless.”

Gong Zeli had long been used to getting stares and glares from people around and being the topic of discussion. He didn’t bother looking at the women. Instead, he was focused on the empty glasses on the bar counter.

He was furious. “You drank? Shen Rou, who allowed you to come to the bar alone and have so many drinks on your own?”

“Zeli, why are you here?” Shen Rou turned around slowly.

She was stunned for a moment when she saw how angry he looked. But she soon smiled and said, “You’ve come just in time. It’s so boring to drink alone, come join me.”

“You cried?” Gong Zeli furrowed his brows upon seeing her red and swollen eyes.

He didn’t want to ask who upset her.

Only one person was able to do that.

If it was someone else, he would’ve gone to teach the person a lesson.

And then told the person to stay away from Shen Rou.

But that person was Mo Yesi.

He didn’t have a way around that.

Moreover, Mo Yesi had never been the one to provoke or offend Shen Rou. It had always been Shen Rou holding a torch for him.

As much as he wanted to help, he didn’t know how to.

He cherished their friendship.

Although Mo Yesi’s friendship with him had been strained, he still cared about their bond. He didn’t want to lose this buddy who meant so much to him.

The other day, he had reflected on what Yan Shaoqing said to him.

Mo Yesi had already made it very clear.

If he accepted Qiao Mianmian, they’d continue to remain buddies.

If he did not...

Their friendship was going to go down the drain.

He did like Shen Rou.

But was he really going to give his buddy up because of her?

Qiao Mianmian hadn’t even done anything wrong.

Just as Yan Shaoqing had asked, would he really detest Qiao Mianmian if it wasn’t because of Shen Rou?

No, he wouldn’t.

In fact, he had never detested Qiao Mianmian.

He simply wasn’t comfortable with her presence.

He was genuinely worried that she was just like any other woman, getting together with his buddy for her own interests.

He was afraid that Mo Yesi would be cheated by her.

And this fear got even more real when he investigated Qiao Mianmian’s family background.

Given the Qiao family’s position in society, Qiao Mianmian would never even have the chance to speak to the Mo family.

Shen Rou ignored him and continued yelling at the bartender to bring her more drinks.

Behind her, Gong Zeli’s expression darkened, and he grabbed her arm.

He wasn’t gentle with her.

Shen Rou furrowed her brows and pushed him away. She said in frustration, “Gong Zeli, what are you doing? Let go of me.”

“No more drinking.”

Gong Zeli’s expression was extremely stern. He dragged her away regardless of her struggle. “Leave with me.”

“I don’t want to.” Shen Rou struggled. “Gong Zeli, let go of me. I don’t want to go back.

“Let go of me!

“Did you hear what I said? I said, let go of me! Who are you to control me!”

Gong Zeli ignored her shouting and continued dragging her out. His serious expression made his usually-expressionless character even scarier.
