Fire Dragon paused a long while, then growled, "You've sure got some nerve, you punk. Are you trying to be funny? After you ran away last night, I watched the security camera footage and saw you getting frisky with Liu Manman. Do you think I don't know you two are together?"

Ye Fei was silent for a moment. It somehow did not occur to him that Fire Dragon would see them together.

"Fire Dragon, I have nothing to do with Liu Manman. You have the wrong person. I am here; if you want to kill me, come on, I'm waiting. But if you hurt a woman, then you're no man."

Liu Manman leaned forward toward the phone and shouted, "Fire Dragon, I am really not his girlfriend! I have nothing to do with him, please don't kill me!"

The phone beeped to signal that the call ended.

"What... What did he say at the end?"

Liu Manman's eyes glistened with tears. She was trembling like a wounded deer.

"He said..."

Ye Fei hesitated for a while, then he told Lin Manman Fire Dragon's final words: "He said that you are a b.i.t.c.h and he will kill you soon."

"Oh my G.o.d!" the women exclaimed in shock.

"Fire Dragon wants to kill me because of you! It's all your fault!" Liu Manman cried, flailing her fists at his chest.

Ye Fei didn't react. He just straightened his body and let Liu Manman hit him. Her weak punches didn't really hurt him anyway.

Eventually, Liu Manman tired herself out and limply sunk to her knees in front of Ye Fei. He turned to Lin Qingwan and said in a low voice, "Manager Lin, we're no longer welcome here. Let's go."

"Huh? Now?"

Lin Qingwan's anger entirely vanished after that phone call. She looked at Liu Manman filled with pity.

Such a beautiful girl, with no money or power, could only rely on her face and wits in her life. She must face many difficulties. For Liu Manman, kicking out Ye Fei must have seemed like self-preservation.

As a woman, Lin Qingwan understood this feeling perfectly. If she didn't need Ye Fei to protect her, she would never have let him live in the same house. Now that Liu Manman was being threatened by Fire Dragon, walking away would be a bit… unkind.

Before Lin Qingwan could make sense of things, Ye Fei took her wrist and pulled her towards the door.

Suddenly, Liu Manman started after them and grabbed Ye Fei's shoulder. "Don't go!"

"I'll go wherever I want. Who are you to tell me where to be? Are you my girlfriend or my mother?" Ye Fei said lowly.

"I..."

Just minutes earlier, Liu Manman was ranting on about Ye Fei and Lin Qingwan moving out, but now she was just speechless.

She really had nothing to do with Ye Fei.

However, Fire Dragon had gotten it into his head that she was Ye Fei's girlfriend.

Now what?

Seeing that Liu Manman had no retort, Ye Fei said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

"No, you can't go!" Liu Manman cried. If Ye Fei left, what would she do when Fire Dragon came back for revenge?

Thinking of how they almost fought with each other, Lin Qingwan started to feel somewhat miffed. She interrupted Liu Manman, "Manman, you just said that you wanted us to get out. Now you won't let us leave. What do you want?"

Liu Manman lowered her head, cheek flushed. "I... I was wrong. It's my fault. Please stay here," she whimpered, her voice barely louder than the buzz of a fly.

"What did you say? I can't hear you."

Liu Manman said the words again.

Ye Fei frowned. "Sorry, I may not be a gentleman, but I know the rules. If I live with you girls, I will be labeled a pervert."

Liu Manman felt her face heat up, as if there was not blood in her veins, but magma.

With her usual temper she would have already slapped Ye Fei's face, but now, she could only be docile.

"Well... I... I can be your girlfriend."

There was no better way to make Ye Fei stay. "You are my boyfriend, so you can live here."

Chu Mo and Mu Cheng reeled.

"Manman... you're crazy! You've known Ye Fei for all of one day. You don't know anything about him; how can he be your boyfriend?"

What on earth happened? Minutes ago, Liu Manman was acting proud like a princess, driving Lin Qingwan and Ye Fei out of her home. A single phone call changed her att.i.tude so much that she now wanted Ye Fei to live there?

Even become his girlfriend?

Chu Mo and Mu Cheng had roomed together with Liu Manman for a long time and knew her well. Although Liu Manman often went out partying in the evenings, she never had a boyfriend. They clearly knew she was a reserved and principled woman.

But now, those principles went out the window.
