"What? Are you planning to have Yanran fight in your place, Mr. Su Tian?"
At those words, Nalan Yanran instinctively paused. Her delicate brows knitted even tighter, and undisguised displeasure appeared in her gaze as she looked at Liu Ling.
Liu Ling's words were clearly meant to provoke Su Tian into accepting his challenge.
If Su Tian really let Nalan Yanran step forward to shield him, wouldn't that mean he needed a woman's protection?
For any man, that was an enormous provocation.
And now that Liu Ling had put it that way, if Su Tian kept evading him, people would think he was afraid of Liu Ling.
Looking at Su Tian behind Nalan Yanran, Liu Ling gave a cold smile, his eyes brimming with provocation and mockery.
Only I am worthy of Nalan Yanran. As for you, you're nothing but a clown dancing on a beam in my eyes. I'll show you just how vast the gap between us is!
Liu Ling sneered inwardly. The provocation in his gaze grew even stronger as he looked at Su Tian, with almost no attempt to conceal it.
Nalan Yanran saw this clearly, too, and immediately understood what Liu Ling was thinking.
"Mr. Su Tian is an honored guest of the Nalan Family. Liu Ling, I don't want anything to happen to him. Do you understand?"
Nalan Yanran drew a deep breath, unable to suppress the disgust rising in her heart toward Liu Ling. A cold gleam flashed through her beautiful eyes, and her red lips parted as she spoke icily.
Hearing this, Liu Ling couldn't help frowning. He sensed the coldness in Nalan Yanran's words.
Who exactly is this fellow? Even now, Yanran is still protecting him!
Rather than making Liu Ling wary, Nalan Yanran's words stirred even fiercer jealousy within him.
