But to Ji Yao, Lu Jincheng's attempt to stop her felt like a rejection, and what's more, he had told Qi Huai'an to stop talking. Wasn't that clearly taking Qi Huai'an's side?
Lu Jincheng watched Ji Yao with cold eyes, and after a few seconds, his gaze returned to Qi Huai'an, "Since you've already said she's my woman, it's not your place to interfere in this matter, is it?"
His indifferent and borderline insulting words to Ji Yao caused Qi Huai'an to lose his patience.
Qi Huai'an raised his hand, ready to fight with Lu Jincheng. Seeing that things were going south, Ji Yao immediately stepped forward to intervene. She was closer to Lu Jincheng and subconsciously tried to dissuade him.
But as soon as she approached Lu Jincheng, he glared at her fiercely and pushed her hard.
Ji Yao, who had only rested for a few days and was still weak, hadn't expected Lu Jincheng to suddenly get physical. The force of the push sent her stumbling several steps backward, and she fell onto the bed.
