Yan Yu's expression did not change. "Isn't Qiao Hua with you? Why are you asking me for her?"
"Keep pretending." Gu Wenze's fingers tightened bit by bit, his knuckles cracking. "Don't think I don't know how you feel about Qiao Hua!"
Yan Yu gave a cold laugh. "Since you already know, President Gu, I have nothing to hide."
At those words, even the air around them seemed to turn cold.
Gu Wenze clenched his teeth until his jaw ached. "So you finally admit it."
Yan Yu met Gu Wenze's eyes without a trace of shame. "Yes, I like her. So what?"
Gu Wenze tightened his grip on Yan Yu's collar and threatened, "Get those filthy thoughts out of your head. Qiao Hua is mine. You have no right to even think about her!"
Yan Yu wrenched himself free of Gu Wenze's hand and sneered. "I have no right? And you do?"
Gu Wenze's chest heaved. His eyes glittered dangerously, like bottomless abysses threatening to swallow the man before him.
Yan Yu raised a hand to straighten his rumpled collar and said coldly, "Gu Wenze, I truly regret not telling Qiao Hua how I felt back in college. Otherwise, the man with her now might not have been you."
"Someone like you doesn't deserve Qiao Hua at all."
Gu Wenze's face tightened, then he suddenly gave a cold laugh. "So what? The person Qiao Hua loves is me, not you."
Yan Yu's expression darkened instantly, but a smile soon returned to his face. "Really? But I heard you two are going through the divorce process. You'll be splitting up soon."
This time, Gu Wenze's face darkened. Brutality surged in his eyes, and a second later, he slammed his fist into Yan Yu's face.
Yan Yu stumbled backward a couple of steps.
