Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion

“Let’s go!” He grabbed her waist and pulled her away.

“She’ll be here any moment now.”

Mo Jiangye did not care. He increased the strength of his grip and pulled her away.

Ye Erruo was speechless.

“Slower. Walk slower.” Ye Erruo followed him in a small jog.

Behind them, Yao Tiao looked at the two people who had abandoned her in astonishment. F*ck…

“Hungry?” He inquired as he turned his head to the side.

“I’m still alright.”

There was a small house in the forest beneath the mountains with a cooking fire. Mo Jiangye held her hand and walked toward it.

“Why is someone else here?” Ye Erruo asked in disbelief.

“There is nobody else.”

“What the heck! Why are they here again?” Xu Xu asked in alarm while holding a chicken in his hand.

“He couldn’t have come here to continue settling the score with us, right?” Zheng Yi stood up and walked around the fire.

Wang Yiyang’s expression remained calm. “How could you think of our boss in such a manner? Is he such a petty person?”

Xu Xu and Zheng Yi said nothing.

Was that not the case?

“Why, why are you here?”

Mo Jiangye glanced at the chicken in his hand and said lazily, “She’s hungry.”

Xu Xu let out a sigh of relief. So they were there to find food!

“Come here. Let me tell you, sister-in-law, my roast chicken is one of the best.” Xu Xu began to pluck the chicken’s feathers after sitting down.

“This chicken is a wild chicken. Its meat is chewy.” Zheng Yi placed the grill and blew at the fire.

There was another grill on the side with a small pot dangling from it and savory bone soup cooking in it.

Wang Yiyang went into the house to grab some ingredients and a fork.

Mo Jiangye pulled Ye Erruo to sit on a huge rock. “Wait a while and it will be ready.”

“Why is there a house here?”

Xu Xu handled the chicken roughly as he said, “This is where we frequently go hunting. There are wild rabbits, wild chickens, wild pigs, lions, and tigers here.”

Ye Erruo was shocked. Lions? Tigers?

Upon seeing her startled expression, Zheng Yi smiled. “This is the most primitive part of the forest and also the most dangerous part of it.”

“Sister-in-law, have you eaten tiger meat before? If you haven’t, we can get the boss to help you hunt one down.”

Ye Erruo shook her head. “I don’t eat that kind of meat.”

“A chicken is not enough. You go hunt and get Yiyang to watch the fire.” Xu Xu threw the gun at Zheng Yi.

“Give me the gun,” Mo Jiangye said.

“You are going to hunt? Then our food today is going to be sumptuous.” Xu Xu chopped off the chicken’s head with one swing of the knife.

“…”

“Follow me.” He took her petite hand.

Ye Erruo was excited. “Okay!”

Mo Jiangye brought a jacket from the house and placed it over Ye Erruo’s body. “Let’s go.”

“I am not cold.”

“Wear it!”

Very soon, Ye Erruo understood why he wanted her to wear a jacket.

The place Mo Jiangye took her to was eerie. The leafy branches blocked more than half of the sunlight, and every tree reached high to the sky. They wouldn’t have grown so strong without at least a few hundred thousand years! The plants here were lusher and taller than outside, as if they were about to become spirits.

Initially, she could still feel the sunlight. However, as they walked further in, the scenery became gloomier.

“Stand beside me and watch where you are walking.” He held her soft hand tightly.

Ye Erruo found this strangely exciting. “Can you really hunt a tiger here?”

“You can.”

“Woosh!”

Suddenly, a ball of white scuttled past them. Not far away, the fella’s white butt peaked out from between the grass. Ye Erruo’s eyes glinted as she asked softly, “Is that a rabbit?”

Mo Jiangye squinted his eyes and grasped his gun to aim at the little fella’s butt. “Not a rabbit.”

Bang!

The silent tranquilizer dart found the target without any error.
