No way! Don't fight over me, bro!

She'd just been working overtime at the company.

There was so much to do after they'd acquired that plot of land in the west of the city.

Then her secretary suddenly told her something had happened at the Mingyue Hotel.

She knew Tang Yu owned the Mingyue Hotel, so she checked the news and immediately called him.

When he didn't answer, she contacted Father Tang instead. That's when she learned Tang Yu wasn't home—he'd said something about going to find himself a prison cell to sit in. Only then did she realize he'd come here.

"It's nothing. I'm just here to cooperate with Officer Bai's investigation."

Tang Yu's expression was blank.

No way! Don't come over here!!!

Stop provoking the Dragon King. Look at his face.

Give me a little room to lie low, or that bastard's going to come after me with a knife tonight.

He'd already caught a glimpse of Ye Chen's livid face from the corner of his eye.

What an awkward scene.

Tang Yu almost wanted to dig a Dragon King Hall out of the ground with his toes for him.

After hearing Tang Yu's thoughts, Su Muyue glanced over from the corner of her eye, too.

She saw Ye Chen's gloomy, resentful expression.

She found him even more irritating.

Did he really think she was interested in him?

What a lunatic!

After a moment's thought, she simply hooked her arm through Tang Yu's and said, "It's good that you're all right. Come on, let's go home."

Tang Yu's eyes widened. He wanted to cry for help.

Holy crap, you're pulling this move again?

Don't do this, Teacher Wang. I'm still just a hundred-and-something-pound kid. This isn't appropriate.

Ye Chen's fists were clenched so tightly that his nails were almost digging into his palms.

The woman he loved—

How could she be so intimate with someone else right in front of him?

What was she thinking? Could she really have no interest in him?

That couldn't be right. Her eyes couldn't lie to him!

Tang Yu had just started pulling his arm free, eager to get out of this mess,

when someone else walked into the office.

This time, it was another stunning beauty.

Wang Yixue hurried in, her brows furrowed.

When she saw that Tang Yu was fine, her expression instantly changed into a radiant smile.

"Tang Yu, you're all right? I heard the owner of the Mingyue Hotel had been arrested. You scared me half to death."

She'd only just gotten the news herself, and she'd rushed straight to the West District Police Station to check on him.

But she hadn't expected Su Muyue to be here, too.

And with her arm linked through her precious little Tang Yu's?

What was that supposed to mean?

Hadn't this woman ignored her precious boy for three whole years?

Noticing Wang Yixue's gaze, Su Muyue immediately grew wary, too.

She knew Wang Yixue was Tang Yu's ex-girlfriend.

Women were always especially sensitive about exes.

And the other woman was a great beauty who was every bit her equal!

Their eyes met. The temperature in the whole room seemed to drop.

Wang Yixue struck first.

She looked at Su Muyue with a cold sneer.

"Well, if it isn't Miss Su. The number-one ice queen of Suhang sure has a forward side. I thought you weren't into men."

"What does that have to do with you?" Su Muyue shot back without holding anything back, clinging tightly to Tang Yu's arm.

Holy crap, what are you two doing?

Stop it! Don't fight over a handsome guy like me. It'll break my heart.

No, wait. Just don't do this in front of the Dragon King!

Can you two let me lie low in peace or not?

Seeing the two women face off like fire and water, Tang Yu was utterly dumbfounded.

He'd heard long ago that the two women didn't get along. They hardly ever showed up at the same place.

But if you couldn't stand each other, why drag me into it?

He was just about to make a run for it when Wang Yixue came over and wrapped her arms around his other arm.

She shot Su Muyue a sidelong glance.

"Why wouldn't it have anything to do with me when you're holding my boyfriend's arm? If you really like handsome men, I can introduce you to a few. Just don't come bothering my precious boy."

"Your boyfriend? Miss Wang, you really do have thick skin. He's someone else's fiancé, and you call him your boyfriend?"

Su Muyue met Wang Yixue's challenge without flinching, her eyes full of hostility.

"Oh, he's your fiancé? Then what do you know about him?"

"Do you know what he likes to eat? What brand of cigarettes he smokes? Does he prefer black stockings or white? Can you answer?"

Wang Yixue scoffed at Su Muyue's words.

Her fiancé?

She'd heard Tang Yu muttering to himself that he planned to call off the engagement.

Given what she knew of this woman,

she must have realized that the lapdog who'd spent three years fawning over her was gone, and was miserable enough to want him back.

Hah. Like she'd give her the chance.

Su Muyue really was stumped. She... couldn't answer those questions off the top of her head.

"Does any of that matter? He likes me, and that's enough. Everyone in Suhang knows he likes me. He even threw me a birthday party a few days ago."

Su Muyue decided to unleash her ultimate move.

Even the prettiest, most goddess-like women knew how to wage a palace war against another woman. She was no exception.

Sure enough, Wang Yixue instantly looked a little furious.

She even felt like punching Tang Yu a few times.

Hadn't this guy said he wasn't interested in her?

What had that birthday party a few days ago been about?

She'd been at home getting ready for bed when she'd seen it, and it had made her furious.

So, gritting her teeth, she simply pulled out her phone.

The hell? You're going to flaunt your love in front of me?

I'll show you what flaunting your love looks like!

Tang Yu's expression changed dramatically when he saw what she was doing.

He'd just tried to stop Wang Yixue's crazy stunt when Bai Wanyi slapped the table, her face full of anger.

"Enough! Stop arguing in here. I have work to do. Get out, now."

Bai Wanyi was on pretty good terms with both Su Muyue and Wang Yixue. They were both her high school best friends.

Seeing her two best friends arguing over Tang Yu,

she was getting annoyed, too.

The hell. What a tangled mess.

As soon as Bai Wanyi lost her temper, Tang Yu hurriedly dragged the two women out of the office.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen stood off to the side, his face looking worse than if he'd swallowed a dead fly.

The two women he loved—

They were fighting over another man right in front of him, and that man wasn't him?

As they walked out of the office, the two women still clung stubbornly to his arms, as if to spite each other.

The single guys at the West District Police Station took ten thousand points of damage.

"The hell? Two beauties serving one guy?"

"Who the fuck is this guy? Can we arrest him?"

"Shh, that's Young Master Tang of the Tang Family. You know, Suhang's number-one simp?"

"Simps have everything, huh? Damn it, starting tomorrow, I'm going to be a simp, too."

Tang Yu kept hearing people call him a simp, and nearly turned around to beat them up.

The hell! You're the simps!

I hate simps more than anything!

Once they'd left the West District Police Station, Tang Yu looked at the two women helplessly.

"Are you planning to tear me in half and take me home?"

"Then tell her to let go first," Wang Yixue grumbled.

"Why should I be the first?" Su Muyue snorted, refusing to back down.

Can't you stop acting like children? Is this really your character?

Let go of me already. Are you treating me like a toy you're fighting over?

Even if I were a toy, there's only one of me. There isn't enough to go around.

Tang Yu's face showed both pain and the faintest hint of pleasure.

Because

they were holding his arms so tightly, and it felt soft and comfy.
