Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 282: He Is Her Fated Emperor!

"You..."

Chang Lexi glared angrily at the man across from her, feeling like she was about to explode. How could there be someone so annoying in this world?

"Me, what me? You girl, don’t go pointing fingers at people for no reason, or it’ll lead to misunderstandings!"

Cao Xiao casually moved aside the delicate hand in front of him, but just that brief touch made his body stiffen slightly.

The soft hand, fingertips glowing white, with a hint of pink haze. The touch was so smooth and soft, how was it so pleasant?

Cao Xiao’s heart seemed to be touched by something, making his heartbeat suddenly quicken, a strange emotion starting to spread.

He didn’t know what he was thinking as he rubbed two fingers together, savoring that delightful sensation, and then stepped back.

"Alright, alright, a real man doesn’t bicker with a woman. I’m too lazy to argue with you, leaving!"

He initially wanted to debate with this domineering girl, but inexplicably felt a bit guilty, turning to leave.

"Hey, hold on!"

Chang Lexi wasn’t ready to let it go and chased after him.

"What do you want? You... don’t come so close, can you?"

Standing just three steps away, Cao Xiao noticed his heart racing, a tense emotion spreading.

Chang Lexi looked up to find Cao Xiao’s cheeks slightly flushed, appearing afraid to come too close, and couldn’t resist teasing him, stepping closer.

"Why? I’m talking to you, naturally, I should get closer... what’s with that expression?"

Seeing Cao Xiao’s conflicted expression, Chang Lexi suddenly felt like laughing.

"Men and women should maintain distance; otherwise... nothing happens to me, but your reputation, girl, will suffer!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Lexi’s face instantly turned pale.

Indeed, a woman’s reputation held more importance, especially for young, unmarried maidens.

Men, on the other hand, behaved frivolously without affecting their marriage prospects.

Why?

Why could men act recklessly and fearlessly?

Chang Lexi felt very frustrated.

Suddenly, she recalled that this man had held her before, so she tentatively said, "You hugged me last time, took advantage of me, don’t you owe me responsibility?"

She remembered Long Yue mentioned that Cao Xiao was always thinking about being responsible for her, so she decided to test him.

Cao Xiao was dumbfounded.

"I... I was just trying to save you, as for responsibility, girl, are you out of your mind? How could I be responsible for you?"

"You..."

Cao Xiao’s words were so infuriating! Chang Lexi pointed at his nose again, too angry to speak.

"How can you be so awful? Boo hoo hoo..."

Cao Xiao’s ruffian demeanor left Chang Lexi feeling wronged, tears welled up and fell, as she turned and ran off, wiping her tears away.

Cao Xiao was stunned. Though this girl was somewhat odious, he felt guilty seeing her so upset leaving. What if she, a weak woman, ran into bad people?

Though a rogue, Cao Xiao wasn’t utterly depraved; he had empathy and care, so he chased after her.

"Cao Xiao, you big jerk, villain, scoundrel, cad, ugh!"

Chang Lexi ran desperately, tears streaming. She didn’t know where she’d ended up, only running towards a less populated area, away from the mocking crowds, seeking solace in silence.

Unknowingly, she stumbled into a small alley.

This place was far from Jinming Lake, quite deserted.

Alone, she squatted in the corner of the alley, sobbing.

"Ah, why is there a little lady here? Tsk tsk, why is she crying? Come here, darling, come to me, I’ll take good... care of you, haa haa haa..."

A teasing voice rang out, followed by a malicious laugh.

Chang Lexi’s body jolted with fear, stopping her sobbing; she slowly raised her head.

Above, shadows fell; upon closer inspection, it was three unfamiliar men.

These men wore shabby clothes, hair disheveled like bird nests, emitting a foul odor like... sweat stench.

Chang Lexi wrinkled her brows, feeling nauseated.

The three had dirty hair covering their faces, exposing only green eyes and yellow teeth.

"What... what do you want?"

Chang Lexi clutched herself tightly, frightened, backing away, but she found herself trapped against a wall, no escape!

She was dumbfounded, lamenting her stupidity for ending up in such a deserted place. She looked around, not seeing anyone!

No, no!

She widened her eyes in horror, feeling doomed, fearing for her reputation... oh, no!

Overwhelming fear made her body tremble continuously, voice choked with pleading and sobs: "Don’t come closer, I’m... I’m the Chang Family’s daughter, don’t come closer, if you dare lay a finger on me, my father, my brother, they won’t let you off!"

The threat, ending in tears, although meant to intimidate, transformed.

The pitiful lady, her tear-stained face provoked the ruffians, their eyes glowed green, mouths grinned, loosening their pant belts.

"Hehe, little lady, Chang Family’s daughter? Oh dear, I’m scared, haha... come, don’t be afraid, we’ll take good care of you!"

"Don’t, don’t come!"

"Come on, what are you afraid of? After you’ve tasted what we offer, you won’t cry, haha..."

The vulgar and lascivious laughter echoed nearby; Chang Lexi knew she was done for, her heart grieved, she wailed aloud.

"Help, help, no..."

Chang Lexi cried miserably, regretting deeply for not learning self-defense from her brothers, feeling completely powerless!

"Help, sobbing, someone please save me..."

Seeing the villains approach slowly, Chang Lexi fell into despair.

"Who are you? Stop, what boldness, in broad daylight, bullying a decent lady, are you seeking death!"

Just as despair had consumed Chang Lexi, a rebuke sounded not far away. The voice was like music from heaven, lifting her from hell to the heavens.

She slowly raised her head, looking past the indecent men, spotting a tall silhouette at the alley entrance.

The silhouette roared urgently and charged forth.

In that moment, Chang Lexi believed firmly, that person was her destined savior! No mistake about it!

"Damn it, who’s this brat with unfinished milk teeth, daring to ruin our fun? Brothers, get him, take him down!"

"Haha, this kid’s white and tender, might consider that, hahahaha..."

The thugs were clueless about their impending fate, grinning as they approached.
