Chapter 1109: Chapter 1109: Another Resolute Rejection

Hearing Poison Rose’s words, Wang Qian felt uncomfortable inside, so she sat there staring at Poison Rose and said, "It’s because of me, what’s wrong? Do you have a problem with it?"

Poison Rose didn’t expect the beautiful woman in front of her would speak up, she then looked at her coldly and said, "Yes, I do."

All women have a competitive mindset. In front of others, Poison Rose always maintains a cold demeanor, but in her room, she also looks in the mirror, applies makeup, and occasionally fantasizes about her prince charming.

Now, seeing that Wang Qian is prettier than her, she naturally felt jealous.

"Keep your opinion to yourself." Wang Qian raised her head, showing no signs of backing down. She then deliberately sat next to Xiang Yu, pulled his arm, and embraced it close to her.

This action was an obvious provocation, as if she was saying, I want to be with Xiang Yu just to spite you.

Xiang Yu didn’t say anything, he merely felt two soft things pressing against his arm, feeling indescribably comfortable.

Poison Rose watched Wang Qian’s actions and couldn’t help but laugh. She knew the other party had surely misunderstood her.

Poison Rose had only met Xiang Yu twice and wasn’t even fond of him. The reason she was upset about being here was because Hong Jinbao, the Hongmen’s Chief, had selected Xiang Yu as a candidate. She had to ensure his safety.

Yu Honghao coughed lightly, pretending not to notice. noveldrama

"What’s so funny? What’s so amusing?" Wang Qian’s face turned red upon seeing Poison Rose laughing, she then released Xiang Yu’s arm.

"Do you know him well? Do you know what kind of person he is?" Poison Rose looked at Wang Qian and asked.

Wang Qian didn’t know why the other asked this. When it came to knowing Xiang Yu, she realized she didn’t really understand him. She only knew Xiang Yu was involved with the underworld and had some skills, but as for the rest, she wasn’t clear.

"He’s our Sect Leader candidate," Poison Rose bluntly said.

"Sect Leader? What Sect Leader?" Wang Qian frowned and asked, looking somewhat puzzledly at Xiang Yu.

Yu Honghao coughed, signaling Poison Rose to say no more, as their Hongmen had gone underground, and general people were unaware.

Seeing Wang Qian’s reaction, they concluded Xiang Yu hadn’t mentioned anything about Hongmen to her.

Apparently, Xiang Yu was good at keeping secrets, and Yu Honghao gratefully glanced at Xiang Yu.

At this point, Xiang Yu tilted his head and said to Wang Qian, "They’re from Hongmen, now asking me to be some candidate."

Upon hearing Xiang Yu casually mention it, Yu Honghao’s expression clouded. He thought Xiang Yu could keep the secret, but unexpectedly he said it so effortlessly.

"Hongmen?" Wang Qian repeated with a frown. Although she belonged to the international organization, Wolf Fang, being from China, they mainly handled affairs here.

Hongmen was a major domestic gang, she naturally had heard of it. She couldn’t help but look at Xiang Yu and asked, "Are you with Hongmen?"

Initially thinking Xiang Yu was just a small gang leader who couldn’t amount to much, now hearing he’s a candidate for Hongmen’s Sect Leader made her reconsider Xiang Yu.

"No." Xiang Yu replied bluntly.

Yu Honghao and Poison Rose’s faces both changed upon hearing this. They hadn’t expected Xiang Yu would reject so unequivocally.

"Xiang Yu, this is an opportunity for you, you should seize it." Yu Honghao earnestly said, looking at Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu merely chuckled softly and said, "My own matters are none of your concern."

Xiang Yu’s attitude was resolute, clearly illustrating how Hong Jinbao had orchestrated this, and he simply didn’t want to follow the path set by others.

Poison Rose was somewhat annoyed, as this position was sought after by many, and now they seemed to be pleading with Xiang Yu, which made Poison Rose very frustrated.

"Xiang Yu, don’t be ungrateful." Poison Rose coldly said.

Sitting beside them, Wang Qian was bewildered by the situation. What was going on—why did it seem as if they were begging Xiang Yu to be a candidate? She didn’t understand, so she said nothing.

Meanwhile, Yuan Huai had long since hidden upstairs, not coming down. He had already met these people before, and as for the Hongmen matters, he didn’t want to be involved any longer. He sat alone with a bottle of liquor on the upstairs corridor, listening to the conversation downstairs.

Upon hearing Xiang Yu’s determined tone, he helplessly shook his head and then continued his drinking.

"Please let the Hongmen Chief know when you see him that I’m not interested for now." Xiang Yu said to the two.

"What exactly do you want?" Poison Rose asked.

"I haven’t wanted anything—it’s you all who want something." Xiang Yu replied without hesitation.

Seeing this, Poison Rose directly stood up and left. She had come twice, both times ending badly, and now she was rather fed up with Xiang Yu. If it weren’t for the Hongmen Chief’s orders, she would have slapped Xiang Yu right here.

Yu Honghao saw Poison Rose stand up and leave. He chuckled and said, "I’m leaving too, but Xiang Yu, you better stay safe. I can’t always arrive in time."

Xiang Yu just smiled without speaking, and at this moment, Tie Zhuzi sighed, "Next time, you shouldn’t be too prompt. I must break all their legs."

Yu Honghao awkwardly chuckled; this time, instead of saving Xiang Yu, it was others who were saved.

"I’m heading out first." Yu Honghao said, then followed Poison Rose and left. His hurried manner signaled he was clearly chasing after Poison Rose.

Once they left, Xiang Yu turned to Wang Qian again, "You should leave for a while."

"What, is your girlfriend here again?" Wang Qian glanced at Xiang Yu, then went back to her room.

Not leaving was outside Xiang Yu’s control; nonetheless, Xiang Yu felt the matter wouldn’t end just like this, as if the danger was just beginning.

At this time, in a manor in another city, an old man was playing golf there, this person being Hongmen’s Chief Hong Jinbao.

Someone came running from afar, saying something to him; after hearing, Hong Jinbao paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, gesturing for that person to leave.

In his eyes, Xiang Yu was an unpolished gem needing continuous refinement to reach potential, and a wild horse needing taming to obey.

Despite looking leisurely every day, rarely bothering about Hongmen’s affairs, he was informed about everything.

Through this incident, Hong Jinbao once again affirmed Xiang Yu’s capabilities. He felt Xiang Yu might not be inferior to Yuan Huai back then.

At noon, after Xiang Yu finished eating, Xiaoxuan called again. His injuries had completely healed, hoping to come and join Xiang Yu.

After considering, Xiang Yu agreed. Although there was still danger now, those in their line faced danger at all times.

In the past, they overcame major storms, so these current issues wouldn’t concern them.

Hearing this, Xiaoxuan was delighted and responded before hanging up.

As soon as Xiang Yu hung up, the phone rang again—it was Han Rumei calling...
