Anger couldn't fully describe how Qie Ranzhe was feeling right now. A violent storm was brewing within him with no point of exit just like a pressure cooker with no way to vent the mounting pressure inching towards an explosion. Qie Ranzhe was seconds away from bursting in anger holding on to the last shred of self-restraint barely maintaining a level head.
A few minutes ago, Qie Ranzhe pulled Zhao Xieshu behind him in a protective manner blocking Zhao Huangzhi's view of the prince. His nature wouldn't permit him to just standby and watch the princess slander Zhao Xieshu for something he didn't do. Since he had made a decision to be with Zhao Xieshu from now on he would be his shield protecting him from harm, destroying anyone who hurt him and suppress any one who tries to steal him away. This overwhelming urge prompted him to perform such a protective action in front of Zhao Huangzhi making her green with envy.
