TLCBITAR Chapter 261

Chapter 261: What are you feeling wronged about?

The bar fell into a deathly silence.

Qu Minghui and Lin Sheng exchanged a silent glance, stealthily preparing to slip away. However, they were stopped by a low, suppressed voice before they could take two steps.

“You two, come here.” Pei Yanlie’s eyes, as dark as a frigid pool, swept towards them.

Qu Minghui’s body stiffened. He slowly turned around and whispered to Lin Sheng, “General Pei… is much scarier than before. Look at that face, even ghosts would retreat.”

Lin Sheng grasped his hand, comforting him, “Don’t be afraid. We just came to the bar to drink and hang out, we didn’t do anything else shady. An upright person isn’t afraid of a crooked shadow, General Pei won’t do anything to us.”

Chen Qihang, having no idea when he’d arrived beside them, spoke with a gloomy face, “What do you mean by ‘shady things’? Take a look at Zhou Zhou, he’s been flirting with that little boy behind General Pei’s back, putting his arm around him, and now he’s even got his waist entangled. Next thing you know, they’ll be off to a hotel room on the top floor for a night of passion!”

Pei Yanlie coldly “heh”ed, and the string of reason in his mind snapped instantly.

Qu Minghui shuddered all over, and hurriedly turned around to cover Chen Qihang’s inflammatory mouth, “He’s drunk, what he’s saying isn’t trustworthy, it’s all nonsense! General, you guys have a good chat, I’ll take him to the bathroom to sober up, so he doesn’t spout nonsense and hurt the harmony between you and Zhou Zhou.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he grabbed Chen Qihang’s sleeve and ran towards the bathroom, leaving Lin Sheng alone to face the raging tiger on the verge of erupting.

“Pei… General Pei, long time no see.” Lin Sheng greeted with a forced smile, on the verge of tears. That brat Xiaohui was really asking for a beating, forgetting his boyfriend as soon as he got a roommate.

He turned his gaze to Zhou Zhou, whose expression and posture seemed to have turned to stone, and mourned for him for three seconds in his heart.

The little boy hanging on Zhou Zhou had subconsciously released his legs as soon as Pei Yanlie appeared, quickly hiding behind him and peeking out, clutching the hem of his clothes with both hands, and muttering, “First time I’ve ever met a General in a bar, and he just happens to be the lover of the person I’m hitting on!”

Pei Yanlie looked at him coldly and said without allowing any refusal, “Let go of his clothes, get away from him.”

“Ah? Oh, oh, oh, I’ll let go, I’ll let go!” As soon as the little boy released his hand, he plunged into the crowd without looking back, escaping as fast as he could.

As for Zhou Zhou, he had been petrified for a full few minutes. He mechanically turned his head, looking at the disappearing petite figure, and a roar burst out in his mind. You ran away, how am I supposed to explain this!

No, this isn’t a matter of explanation, but rather being “caught in the act” by Pei Yanlie!

If he saw Pei Yanlie intimately embracing another man’s waist, he wouldn’t care if it was the man’s fault or not, he would directly pick up the vinegar jar and smash it on Pei Yanlie.

Pei Yanlie watched his unpredictable face with a gloomy gaze, raised his military boots and took two steps forward. His tense jawline indicated that his emotions had reached the extreme, and he seemed about to explode on the spot in the next second.

“Very curious why I’m here?” Pei Yanlie slowly released his tightly clenched hands, and his slender fingers pinched his slightly rounded chin. “Zhou Zhou, you’re growing more capable, your skin is itching, isn’t it?”

Zhou Zhou was pinched in pain, and frowned, trying to explain clearly, “He provoked me first! The eyes of the masses are sharp, if you don’t believe me, ask the others!”

The masses subconsciously dispersed: Sorry, didn’t see anything.

“If you hadn’t indulged him, would he have clung to you so stubbornly?” Pei Yanlie’s eyes turned cold, and his fingers scraped down his neck. Seeing the skin on Zhou Zhou’s neck turn red with sensitivity, along with his nose and the corners of his eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, “What are you feeling wronged about? Don’t even think about glossing over this matter easily today.”

Zhou Zhou turned his face away, knowing that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless. Pei Yanlie was just a walking vinegar vat. Don’t be fooled by his calm and composed exterior, the vinegar smell rising from him in secret could suffocate people half to death.

Since he couldn’t escape the punishment anyway, he might as well shut up, say less nonsense, and conserve his strength.

Pei Yanlie’s gaze moved down, fixing on his open collar. His thin lips pursed even tighter. He raised his hand to button up his collar, took a deep look at him, and then turned and walked towards the bar entrance without hesitation.

Zhou Zhou was stunned for a moment, his pupils trembling. A trace of fear arose in his heart. Based on his understanding of Pei Yanlie, the other party was very likely to drag him into the hovercar and give him a harsh lesson, rather than just leaving him behind without a word like now.

Morbid thoughts buried deep in his heart surged out like bamboo shoots after a rain. His face instantly turned pale, and he rushed after him.

“Pei Yanlie!”

When his illness flared up, his legs were often weak and powerless. His heart only wanted to huddle in that man’s arms, hug his neck, and draw warmth and a sense of security from him.

“Pei Yanlie, where are you going!”

Zhou Zhou stood in front of the smoking hovercar, stubbornly and uneasily looking up at the man in the driver’s seat.

Pei Yanlie took a deep breath, forcing himself not to soften. Zhou Zhou’s rebellious behavior this time was like a knife stabbed hard into his heart.

The little boy’s entanglement with Zhou Zhou did make him jealous to the point of almost losing his mind. However, what angered him the most was that the other party appeared alone in the dangerous bar, without even bringing a bodyguard.

If he hadn’t installed a hidden locator in Zhou Zhou’s bracelet, he probably wouldn’t have known that this little liar had run to the bar to have fun while he was away on a business trip.

As for the bodyguard A’Hu, he was unfortunately tricked by Zhou Zhou and locked in the basement.

He had really gone to great lengths to come out and play.

Since Zhou Zhou yearned for freedom so much, an obscure and incomprehensible emotion arose in Pei Yanlie’s eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll give you freedom.”

He watched Zhou Zhou’s expression change from disbelief to panic to drooping eyelids, and snorted coldly in his heart. This person was best at playing the victim, he couldn’t fall for his tricks. He wanted Zhou Zhou to actively come over, to actively admit his mistakes.

Pei Yanlie changed his coercive measures and adopted a roundabout approach, quietly waiting for Zhou Zhou’s actions.

However, his plan was destined to fail, Zhou Zhou was not so easy to manipulate.

“Pei Yanlie, isn’t it too late to say this now?” Zhou Zhou raised his eyes, and his canine teeth bit the tip of his tongue hard. “Since you want to give me freedom, why did you come back? Yes, I don’t like being controlled by you everywhere, I want to become an independent individual, instead of relying on you whenever something happens. I know you enjoy being Twistby me twenty-four hours a day, but I’m afraid that if I continue like this, I’ll completely degenerate into a useless person, a mentally ill patient who only knows how to wag his tail and beg you.”

He thought he had been cured, that he had completely walked out of that shadow with Pei Yanlie’s companionship. Now it seemed that it was just a disguise.

He had witnessed how much Pei Yanlie cared about him, so he naturally wouldn’t believe such nonsense as “give you freedom”. He knew what Pei Yanlie was up to.

He just wanted him to bow his head and admit his mistake, and then pitifully approach him, pretending as if he had lost the whole world without him, so as to satisfy his inner twisted desire for control.

A minute ago, he did intend to do so, but after realizing Pei Yanlie’s malicious intentions, he held back and turned to walk back into the bar.

He would see who couldn’t hold back first.

Pei Yanlie’s chest rose and fell heavily, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He lowered his eyes to look at the hovercar display screen, which had been smashed with a fist into a spiderweb pattern, his eyes were scarlet, and his lips, pursed into a straight line, lightly parted: “I should have just carried him in, stripped his pants off, and given him a good spanking.”
