Villain Seized the Assassin Heroine at the Start!

Chapter 50

Though Xiao Yingxia was blushing hard, she didn't resist Li Mubai's hand that was wrapping around her waist.

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior infuriated Han Qiansan beyond measure, rewarding 1000 villain points.]

Seeing this, Han Qiansan in the crowd gritted his teeth in anger.

Though he and Xiao Yingxia were married for nearly three years, he hadn't once got to touch her hand.

But now, Han Qiansan had to witness a stranger taking her into his arms...

Han Qiansan was shaking with rage but still, he didn't reveal himself.

The purpose of his attending the charity auction tonight was to give Xiao Yingxia a present.

He wanted to give Xiao Yingxia a great surprise so as to make up for the grievances that she had to go through for the past three years.

If at all Xiao Yingxia inquired him of how he got her the present, Han Qiansan planned to tell her he'd won the lottery.

Never would he have ever dreamt of seeing Xiao Yingxia in the arms of a stranger!

Han Qiansan took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself down.

He would be lying to himself if he said that he wasn't angry now.

However, if he chose to reveal himself before Xiao Yingxia, he wouldn't be able to explain to her why he was there.

He would also be unveiling the strengths he had been hiding for so long if he did that.

Before he could manage to gain enough strength that could compete with the Han family in the Imperial Capital, Han Qiansan chose not to reveal his identity.

More importantly, as Han Qiansan had spent time together with Xiao Yingxia for nearly three years, he had fallen head over heels in love with Xiao Yingxia.

So, if he chose to reveal himself at the moment, then the nominal husband and wife relationship that he shared with Xiao Yingxia would also come to an end.

Even if he doesn't want to divorce her, given Xiao Yingxia's temperament, she would definitely take the initiative to divorce him!

Han Qiansan would hate to part with her!

So the only thing he could do at the moment was to feign ignorance.

He would have to forget what all he saw.

...

Hehe~

Seeing Han Qiansan motionlessly standing in his place with seemingly no intention of coming over any time soon, Li Mubai's eyes flashed with a trace of contempt. His hand that was playfully wrapped around Xiao Yingxia's waist, slid upwards.

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior has enraged and shocked Han Qiansan beyond belief, rewarding 1200 villain points!]

Han Qiansan who had been gazing at the two couldn't help but knit his brows seeing Li Mubai looking at him with scorn.

'What did he mean by that?'

'Did this man know my identity?'

Han Qiansan was immediately alarmed.

However, seeing Li Mubai's dishonest hands in public, Han Qiansan's eyes went wide!

But still, gritted his teeth, he continued to endure!

...

With great difficulty, Xiao Yingxia had, at last, made her way to the center of the banquet hall and took her seat in one of the most distinguished and conspicuous seats.

Her breath quickened.

Just a moment ago, Li Mubai's hand...

That too, in public with everyone staring at her...

Xiao Yingxia suddenly blushed crimson.

She was too embarrassed and couldn't dare herself to look at the crowd's reaction.

It took quite a while for her to calm herself down.

Then she hesitantly looked at Li Mubai and asked, "You... Are you the Young Master of the Li family... Li Mubai...?"

"Um..."

Li Mubai nodded his head with a smile.

In Jinghai, he, Young Master Li, was the only one treated by many celebrities with respect.

It was only a matter of time before Xiao Yingxia would start to enquire about his identity.

So, unlike Han Qiansan - the 'spineless coward' Son-in-law, Li Mubai openly admitted his identity.

"Umm... Hello... I'm Xiao Yingxia... from the Xiao family."

Though Xiao Yingxia already knew Li Mubai's identity, hearing Li Mubai admit it so openly at the moment, she was at a loss for words.

Li Mubai was amused seeing Xiao Yingxia maintain a 'gentle but cautious' posture.

Truth be told, although Li Mubai already knew her identity, it was the first time Xiao Yingxia introduced herself to him.

"You don't need to act this way. I've told you already, tonight you are my woman..." Li Mubai said with a gentle smile.

He intentionally emphasized the word 'my woman', rather than saying she was there to accompany him.

Xiao Yingxia blushed.

Such domineering President-like words obviously overwhelmed her.

But remembering Boss Du that had pleaded to her not long back, Xiao Yingxia didn't intend to go back on her word.

She couldn't help but speak in a small voice: "Umm... Mr. Du is aware of his mistake... so can you please... not trouble him...?"

"It's up to you." Li Mubai replied looking straight into Xiao Yingxia's eyes and nodded with a smile.

Li Mubai didn't even know someone with the name Mr. Du.

It must be the middle-aged man with a big belly from before, right?

Li Mubai doesn't really care about such an insignificant role.

"Thank you."

The four words 'It's up to you' clearly touched Xiao Yingxia's heart. It couldn't help but give birth to a hint of sweetness of being pampered.

"Just a verbal thank you?" Li Mubai asked looking at her with a smile.

"I..."

Xiao Yingxia blushed as she naturally understood what Li Mubai's words implied.

She underwent a deep inner turmoil and also met Li Mubai's pair of eyes that were gazing at her in anticipation.

Xiao Yingxia slightly clenched her teeth, and then closed her eyes.

As if like a dragonfly gently touching the water, she leaned to one side of Li Mubai's face and gave him a peck and immediately retreated back with a blush, only leaving behind traces of fragrance...

[Ding! Host's villainous behavior has suffocated Han Qiansan, rewarding 1500 villain points!]
