My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 287 - 280: Enemies

Chapter 287: 280: Enemies
In the moment Yun Xi was scooped up by him, her heart inexplicably started pounding. Looking at his somewhat disheveled but scarred handsome face, all she could think of was when he said to Yang Yue, "Young master hasn’t even dared to lay a finger on her, and you dare to slap her?"
Clearly, the two of them bickered and fought every time they met, yet when she needed help the most, he appeared like a deity and protected her against those four people, uttering such a threatening statement to Yang Yue.
After staring for a while, Yun Xi, almost like under some spell, raised her little hand and poked his injured face, causing Lu Xize to grimace in pain and release his grip slightly. Yun Xi felt herself slipping and, in a panic, clung to his neck, only to be met with Lu Xize’s explosive roar.
"Ow... it hurts, what are you doing? I just saved you, and you’re poking my wound." Despite the pain on his face, Lu Xize regained his composure, tightened his grasp on her waist and legs, lifted her body up again, and shouted at her with dissatisfaction.
His roar startled Yun Xi, who had been on edge all along, causing her to shiver and look at him in a daze.
Seeing Yun Xi’s reaction so similar to that of a frightened little lamb, Lu Xize suddenly felt a pang of guilt, sighed silently, and decided not to dwell on the issue with her. Just then, the elevator reached the parking lot, and he carried her out to his car, signaling with his eyes, "Can you get down? I need to get my keys."
"Oh..." Yun Xi sniffed, looking aggrieved. After being put down, she quietly stepped back, lacking her usual fieriness.
Lu Xize took the keys from his coat pocket, inadvertently tugging at his wounds, causing him to inhale sharply, but he endured it, unlocked the car, opened the passenger door, and tilted his head to indicate, "Get in."
Yun Xi silently got in, and Lu Xize shut the car door for her, then walked around to the driver’s seat, got in, and just as he was fastening his seat belt, Yun Xi suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! I forgot."
Lu Xize was startled by her exclamation, took a deep breath, and said, "Can you not keep startling me? I’m injured, and my heart can’t take any more shocks."
"I... I just left with you like this. What about Cen Jin and Ye Lingran? They’re still in the room. If Yang Yue finds out they were with me, he’ll definitely give them trouble." Yun Xi’s thoughts began to clear, and she anxiously shook Lu Xize’s arm, her face full of worry.
Lu Xize, almost falling apart from being shaken, had to endure a beating from four people to be able to stand up and carry her. It was no small feat, and he almost praised his own resilience.
"Stop shaking me, or young master will really be shaken to death by you." Lu Xize winced and pulled his arm from her grasp, asking, "You mean Cen Jin and Ye Lingran are with you?"
"It’s my birthday today, and they were celebrating with me. Who knew we’d bump into that bastard Yang Yue here today! I accidentally bumped into him and even apologized nicely, but he wouldn’t let it go." Yun Xi felt like she must have the worst luck, and this birthday was by far the worst in her 25 years. The thought made her even more worried about Cen Jin and Ye Lingran: "No, I can’t leave them there."
"Then quickly call Cen Jin."
"I left my phone in the room when I went to the bathroom, didn’t take it."
Lu Xize sighed exasperatedly, gave her a look, and called his buddies to have them get Cen Jin and Ye Lingran out. When asked about the room number, Lu Xize paused, turned, and asked, "What’s your room number?"
"VIP863."
Lu Xize relayed the information and hung up the call, then dialed Cen Jin’s number, briefly explained the situation, and sent a WeChat message to Jiang Baizhou. After ensuring everything was arranged, he took a deep breath, touched the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Where do you live? Should I take you back first?"
"What about the wound on your face? And do you need a full check-up for your injuries?" Yun Xi looked at his injured face and recalled the scene where he protected her while being mobbed, feeling a little guilty.
