Chapter 609: Jealous
The following day, Linhou left work early and drove to Yue’s campus. He had already sent her a text message but although it had been delivered and read, she had not responded so he assumed she was on her way to the campus parking lot to meet him. He should have known he would only see her walking over half an hour later, taking a tiny step at a time as if she wanted the walk to last forever, hand in hand with a young man. She was even laughing at something he was saying and having a blast.
He nearly foamed at his mouth in fury. He glared at their intertwined hands and stormed over to them, stopping himself just in time before his anger got out of control. Grabbing her and shoving her into his car would only result in a worse fight than the ones he had with his sister on a daily basis.
"Yue? I came to pick you up." He tried to maintain his calm as he watched the young man protectively step before Yue. He wanted to punch his teeth out.
She was just as puzzled as he thought she would be. "Did my father put you in charge of me? How old does he think I am?"
He was puzzled too, but only because Han Xichen would trust him with the safety of his daughter when they were supposed to be enemies. Well, maybe calling them enemies was too harsh, but the man didn’t like him near Yue.
He shrugged. "Your car broke down the other day so maybe he just wanted to make sure don’t have to take a cab home."
"Who the hell is this?" He asked about the bloke getting awfully close to her, who just seemed to realize that he needed to ask about him.
"Baby, who is he?" The man had the audacity to ask.
Baby?
Linhou wanted to fly over and punch his guts out but stopped when he heard her response.
"Don’t worry. He’s my friend."
