2571: I like the way you look when you get angry!

I like the way you look when you get angry!

That answer got her all agitated. Feeling indignant for her bestie, she questioned him angrily, "What about Xiao Xue? What is she to you?!" 2

All that came out of his mouth was: "A girlfriend."

The woman was flabbergasted by his answer. Out of disbelief, a burst of angry laughter rose from within her. "'Girlfriend'?! You sure are something! Does she know that you're two-timing her?"

"Oh? Are you sticking up for her?" asked Gao Nan casually as he arched a brow. His apathetic attitude made it seem as though his infidelity was only natural, nothing worthy to be shocked or to be questioned about.

The actress proceeded with questioning him. "She loves you with all her heart and is still very much immersed in her relationship with you! Is this how you pay my best friend back for her love?!"

He answered with a laugh, "I'll marry her."

"…What?"

"Marrying her is the biggest reward she'll get for loving me." A smirk then appeared on his lips. "She doesn't know about this, but it doesn't matter either way."

The man paused and looked at her as he said, "I don't mind it if you tell her about this. Hmm… In fact, I'm even looking forward to seeing the crumbling expression on her face when she finds out. Haha. I'm sure it'll be very interesting!"

"Jerk!" That was the last straw for her.

Storming up to him, the wrath-filled actress raised her hand and brought it down toward his face, but he deftly grabbed hold of her wrist and pulled her into his embrace while giving her waist a squeeze with his other hand in what seemed to be an intimate move.

Despite her fierce struggle, she was unable to break free from his hold due to their difference in strength.

"Why are you so worked up?" he asked with perplexity. "Those who don't know the truth will think that you're jealous because of me."

"You shameless thing!" She writhed in his hold as she growled through gritted teeth, "Why do you want to marry Xiao Xue if you don't love her?!"

"Marriage has nothing to do with love," he plainly answered. "As long as my parents agree to it, I can marry any woman I want, but no matter who they are, they're not allowed to interfere with my private life, and that includes your friend!"

"I want you to break up with her!" she ordered, loud and clear.

"Why should I do that?"

"You're not allowed to trample on her feelings; I won't let you fool around with her and break her heart!"

That got him scoffing and sighing at her naivety. "I'm touched by how close you two are."

"Let go!"

"Nuh-uh." His lips curled into a wicked grin. "Look at this; you're the one throwing yourself at me!"

"You really have no sense of shame!"

"How well-said!" The man laughed, grabbed hold of her chin, and lifted it up so that he could appreciate the wondrous display of anger on her visage. "Do you know how adorable and mesmerizing you look when you get angry?"

He loved the angry look on her face, where her nicely shaped brows were knitted together, for it exuded an indescribable sense of beauty!

"I'm warning you for the last time: Let me go!" She glowered at him.

A bright sparkle coming from her hand attracted his attention right then. As he turned to look at it, he realized with a start that she was wearing a diamond ring on her ring finger.

"You're engaged?"

She continued glaring at him without saying a single word.
