Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Qin Xue inhales a quiet breath. She tries her best and forces out a smile at the man. Only, her smile did not reach her eyes.

"Although it our meeting short, I had a prod time, and our conversation was pleasant. I do apologize for having to leave in advance, but this will be the first and last time we meet."​​

The man was confident he could win Qin Xue's heart. However, to unexpectedly hear her turn him down, he was rendered speechless.

His eyes darken, and his charming smile turns into a scowl.

"You're turning me down?"

Qin Xue didn't see his change in demeanor. She gestures an apologetic bow and apologies to the man.

"I'm truly sorry. You are a good man. I'm sure you will find a better marriage candidate."

She straightens her posture and sighs a smile before turning to leave.

"Thank you for the meal, and I'm sorry for taking up your time."

Just as she was about to turn away, the man grabs her arm and forcefully turns her towards him.

"Why are you turning me down? What did I do wrong?"

His other hand grabs her arm, and he made sure to keep a tight grip on her.

He leans closer to her with a grim expression, utterly different from the gentleman he was seconds ago.

"Who do you think you are? Without your family, YOU are nothing."

He growls at her without any care of being considerate.

No woman has ever turned him down.

He pulls Qin Xue closer and whispers near her ear.

"Whatever I want, I will get."

Qin Xue's eyes widen in a mixture of shock and horror. Her parents told her that this man was polite and well-tempered. However, why does he look so terrifying at this moment?

"W-wait."

She winced at the pain of the man holding her as she tries to free herself. However, the more she struggles, the tighter the man's grip became.

"Y-you... you're crazy. Let me go."

She raised her voice and glared at the man with cold eyes. At the same time, she had hoped her voice was loud enough since they were still inside the restaurant.

However, when she glanced around, there were no customers or workers near their table.

She looks at the man, and a wave of intense fear crawled inside her. The look in his eyes was the same as the men who had kidnapped her, Yue Ling and Shi Yan.

The kind of look that is filled with malicious intentions.

When the man saw the fear in Qin Xue's eyes, he sneers dangerously at her. He loosens his hold on her but only to grab her wrist with one hand.

"Since your parents practically begged my parents for this blind date, let's seal it."

He dragged Qin Xue away and headed for the exit.

"Stop! Let me go!"

Qin Xue's heart raced with anger and fear as she struggles to free herself.

She had apologized and was being polite, yet the man seemed not to understand her. Or rather, he was ignoring her.

Even without explaining, her words should have been enough. She doesn't like him and did want to continue the blind date.

"Shut up. You're making a scene in public."

The man growls at her as they arrived at the exit. He reaches for the door handle and grimaces inside.

He will show Qin Xue what it is like to humiliate him.

"Woah, Woah. Hey man, the lady doesn't want to go with you."

A man's voice suddenly sounds from behind them. However, the man ignores the uninvited guest and pulls open the door.

He walks out of the restaurant, but to his surprise, he couldn't pull Qin Xue. His brows furrow tightly, and he turns around to the source.

When he saw who had stopped him, his eyes turned cold, and his expression darkened.

It was two men, one in a black Moto jacket and the other in a green trench coat.

His teeth tightly clenched before he growls murderously at the man who had spoken.

"Who the hell are you?"

The man in the black Moto jacket didn't feel threatened by the man. He tilts his head a little to the side, then points at himself, then at his comrade.

"I'm Lin Hui, and this is Liu Ye. Who are you?"

Lin Hui asked for the man's name but shifted his attention to the woman. He was slightly taken aback by her beauty, yet, he quickly ignores it and grins at her.

He also made sure to make an appearance that will not terrify the woman any more than she is right now.

"Miss, are you alright? Do you know this man?"

Usually, he would not intervene in other's relationsh.i.p.s as it didn't involve him. However, he and Liu Ye were leaving, and the two people were blocking their path.

Anyone who saw this scene would assume it was a couple arguing, but he could tell the woman and man are not that close.

He focuses his attention on the red hair woman while keeping his smile in place.

"If the answer is no and he's giving you trouble, you don't have to go with him."

His right-hand raises and points at his c.h.e.s.t with his thumb. At the same time, he didn't forget to waggle his eyebrows.

"I'll make sure of it."

Liu Ye was beyond speechless at the situation. He thought they were leaving but to think Lin Hui would see his way into other's fight.

He stares at Lin Hui, then at the woman and man. His lips pursed in pondering before a thought comes to mind.

His eyes widen, and his jaw drops as he quietly gasps. He turns his head to Lin Hui, and he slowly covers his mouth.

'Could it be that Lin Hui is rescuing a damsel in distress?'

Qin Xue could not say a word as she gazes at Lin Hui like he was an angel sent from heaven to save her. She parts her lips to answer his questions, but she winces in pain before she could utter a word.

The man was fuming with rage. He glares at Lin Hui with murderous. It was to the point that if eyes could kill, Lin Hui would have been long dead.

"Scram. Our problem doesn't concern you."

He growls in a threatening tone as he ignores the pain he was causing Qin Xue. He expected Lin Hui to be scared of his threat like others and run away.

However, to his shock, Lin Hui snorts a laugh at him.

He (Lin Hui) hysterically laughs until his stomach hurts. He held his stomach and wiped his fearless eyes.

"You want me to scram?"

He chuckles his words but abruptly stops. The air around him turned thick and made one unable to breathe.

"Didn't your mother teach you not to hurt women?"
