Deng Tia smirked at Mia and continued, "Oh it's not what you think Rong Chi. You dirty mind…. It was like this that we were adamant to sleep in treehouse once. It was close to winter and we had no idea it would be very cold outside so we didn't prepare for it so we had to share a blanket." Deng Tia said shyly and purposely grabbed Yan Xuan's hand to make Mu Hua angry.
Yan Xuan's eyes were focused on Mo Hua's face observing her every movement. His heart went our when no sign of jealousy was seen on Mo Hua's face.
Yan Xuan then glared at Deng Tia and shoved her hand rudely as if she was dirty. This startled her and she was left speechless.
"Tia… Don't forget to mention that it was long back. We were just 8 years old at that time. And it was you who was adamant and I had to suffer with you only because Mom asked me to accompany you." Yan Xuan scolded her in front of everyone.
"Xuan!! This… why are you scolding me? I was just being nostalgic. Nothing else. How can you.." She sniffed and said with tears filled in her eyes threatening to fall anytime.
Yan Xuan immediately realized that his reaction was really rude.
He felt a bit bad after seeing her crying and thought that he might have overreacted.
He apologized, "Tia. It's okay. Sorry for overreacting but be careful with your words next time. Hmm?" He said in a low husky voice.
Seeing that Mo Hua was extremely jealous and angry with their interaction. She ready to stand up and walk out immediately but her hand was tightly gripped by a firm hold from Chen Liam.
He nodded his head in denial as if asking her to calm down and eat.
The rest of the breakfast was finished quickly. Billed was settled by everyone in equal contribution.
Mo Hua got up immediately and started walking towards the exit with XiXi and Li Mei. Xi Mian was following behind them with Sheng Tao.
"Look at that shameless slut Deng Tia" XiXi muttered angrily.
"I know right. She even seduced Yan Xuan in front of everyone." Li Mei added.
Just then they saw Yan Xuan walking with long strides to catch up with them. He must have heard what XiXi and Li Mei said so Mo Hua immediately retracted her eyes and replied to her friends, "Girls, its not every time third person who ruins the relationships. Many times it's just the person who is not able to protect their relationship from outsiders and let them cause harm. Anyways let's go else we will be late."
"Mo Hua." Yan Xuan who had heard her knew she was angry. He wanted to clear the misunderstanding.
"Yes, Yan Xuan!" Mo Hua replied as if they were strangers.
'Yan Xuan? She is mad... Oh god.' Yan Xuan thought to himself.
"Let me take you all to the University. Come." Yan Xuan walked forward to grab her hand.
"No need. We will take a cab." Mo Hua took two steps backward not letting him hold her hand.
"Baby.." Yan Xuan took two steps towards her when he heard,
"Xuan. Let's go. We will be late." Deng Tia called him from behind waiting for him near his car.
"Looks like your car is already occupied." Chen Liam stood in front of him. Go back and accompany your best friends. I am here for Little Mo." He said with a sneer on his face.
"Xuan.. come fast.." Deng Tia again shouted for him.
He took a final glance at Mo Hua and walked back to his car.
Mo Hua's heart was trembling. She was tearing up inside. She never thought he will leave her alone and go back to Deng Tia.
Looking at her distraught face, Chen Liam felt melancholy.
He walked towards her and patted her head with utmost tenderness he said, "Let me take you, girls, back. Wait here till I get my car from parking."
"Hmm." Mo Hua was not even able to utter a word. XiXi and Li Mei had decided to keep quiet as they knew Mo Hua was in her worst mood.
Xi Mian and Sheng Tao had called cab so they walked towards them and said, "MoMo, XiXi, Li Mei. I will go ahead with Tao. We need to stop by the courier to drop the mail."
Mo Hua was despondent and looking at her broken look, Xi Mian hugged her and said, "Everything is going to be okay. Don't worry."

Yan Xuan had walked back to his car. He got into the driver's seat. Without letting Rong Chi and the two troublemakers get inside, he started his car and step on the accelerator.
"What the… Wait Xuan.."
"Bro.. take me with you…"
Both Deng Tia and Rong Chi screamed at the passing car.
"He is gone," Mia said angrily. "How are we supposed to go back. No way I am going to take that filthy cab."
Just when they were about to walk towards the exit, they saw Yan Xuan's car stopping near the exit.
Mo Hua and her friends were standing there waiting for Chen Liam to get the car.
Yan Xuan got down from the car.
Mo Hua was left dumbfounded seeing Yan Xuan stooping in front of her.
"Xuan.. you.." Mo Hua was only able to say two words when her wrist was grabbed and she was pushed on to the passenger seat of his car.
He even put on the seat belt and walked towards the driver's seat.
He stopped in tracks and looked at XiXi and Li Mei and said, "Would you mind going with Chen Liam. I am taking Mo Hua with me."
XiXi nodded saying, "No problem. We will catch up with you at University."
"Also could you please take leave today for Mo Hua. I am taking her elsewhere." He said with a plain face.
Li Mei was the one to speak this time, "Sure Xuan. We will."
"Thanks." With that, he left and got into the car.
Mo Hua was struggling with the car door. It was locked by Yan Xuan. She tried to sneak out when Yan Xuan unlocked the car to get in but was stopped by the tight hold of her wrist.
"Do you want me to kiss you here in front of your friends? Sit quietly hmm?" Yan Xuan whispered in her ears huskily while putting her seat belt back.
