Chapter 71 Attractive And Charming

Although Yuliana felt that Larry was a bit two-faced, she never anticipated that he would takeadvantage of her. Hence, the current situation was completely unexpected for her. In a brief moment ofchaos, Larry pinned her against the wall and removed his hand that covered her mouth.

When Yuliana was about to speak, Larry kissed her forcefully. He acted aggressively, like a monsterout of his mind.

“Yuliana, I really like you,” Larry confessed in a hurry as he kissed Yuliana forcefully.

Only God knew how long he had fantasized about it.

Yuliana frowned. Maybe it was because Larry had eaten a dish with a strong flavor at a local cuisinerestaurant earlier. At that moment, Yuliana only felt his mouth was full of that taste, making her sick.

She avoided Larry’s kiss and pushed at him hard, but he hugged her tighter.

Yuliana did not want to provoke Larry in that circumstance, but the smell made her feel sick, so shestopped resisting for a while and even tried to cooperate for a few seconds. As soon as Larry let hisguard down, Yuliana opened her mouth and bit him hard. While Larry was in pain, Yuliana quicklystruggled to free one of her hands and slapped Larry’s face.

The slap made Larry regain his senses.

He was so enraged by Yuliana’s earlier refusal that he almost made a huge mistake.

Larry’s expression quickly changed to guilt and regret as soon as he realized what he had done.“Yuliana, I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean to do this. I was a little jealous and did something foolish as a result.You can hit me again!”

Just as he was about to grab Yuliana’s hand to hit him, Yuliana immediately hid her hand behind herback to avoid being touched by him.

Looking at his regretful and apologetic face, Yuliana did not feel moved at all. She gave him a coldlook, but her face was remarkably calm. “Get out of here right away. I don’t want to see you.”

Larry observed the expression on her face and was a little worried. He paused for a while and said.aggrievedly, “Yuliana, although my family isn’t as wealthy as Christopher’s, I’m not inferior to him inother aspects. Why are you willing to be with him but not with me? I’ve always liked you since highschool. I’ve been sincere with you all along, but what about Christopher? He’s just toying with you. He’sgoing to marry Annabelle soon.” As he spoke, he noticed Yuliana’s indifference and felt frustrated.“Anyhow, I’ve offended you today. You may punish me in any way you see fit. I have only one request.Could you please not tell Xani about this, Yuliana? I don’t have a lot of friends. I don’t want this tocause a rift between her and me.”

Larry was well aware of Xandria’s temper. Xandria would not let him go easily if she knew he had takenadvantage of Yuliana. Furthermore, due to his good relationship with Xandria, the Holmes family nowhad many business collaborations with the Yeager family. He could not allow that to impact his family’sbusiness.

Yuliana thought she was about to throw up as she watched his mouth open and close. She turnedaround and was about to walk into the room because she did not want to speak to him any longer.

The homestay’s door was suddenly pushed open from the outside at that moment. Yuliana stopped inher tracks, turned around with Larry, and saw Christopher standing at the entrance.

Christopher stared at Yuliana and Larry for a while before walking in slowly with his long legs and finallylooking at Yuliana’s swollen lips coldly. His face became increasingly gloomy.

When Larry saw Christopher standing at the door, his pupils constricted subconsciously. Ever since hewas beaten up by the latter on Xandria’s birthday, he had been afraid of Christopher. Larry felt evenguiltier, especially after what he had done to Yuliana earlier. He stood at the side and did not even dareto breathe. Yuliana was taken aback by Christopher’s sudden appearance. Looking at his solemnexpression, she did not take the initiative to speak and could only inwardly guess why he had come.

Christopher stared at Yuliana’s red and swollen lips for a long time. He could not help but recall thescene from earlier when he pushed the door open. After a while, he smiled leisurely and piped up.“Yuliana, I suddenly remember something about our agreement. I need to speak with you again.”

Yuliana frowned instinctively upon hearing that.

Looking at Yuliana’s reaction, Christopher smiled and remarked, “I’ll give you two minutes to settle thissituation. I’ll be outside waiting for you.”

With that said, Christopher turned around and walked out of the yard of the homestay before Yulianacould speak

Yuliana stood silently for a moment before walking toward the homestay’s entrance.

Larry knew that she was going to meet Christopher and could no longer suppress the anger andjealousy in his heart. The next moment, he stepped forward to stand before Yuliana and choked out,“Yuliana!”

However, Yuliana only looked at him impassively.

Larry looked at her and hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, he stepped aside and watched as Yulianawent to replace Christopher.

“Christopher is just a loser. He’s nothing without the Solace family. Why does Yuliana prefer to be hismistress over being with me?” Larry wondered.

Larry grew increasingly enraged as he thought of that. He wished he could trample on Christopher andshow Yuliana that the man she had chosen was just trash.

Soon, Yuliana came out of the homestay. Christopher was standing in the corner of an alley. He raisedhis head and let out a smoke ring into the night sky. The flame of the cigarette, which he was holdingbetween his thumb and index finger, was blinking.

Yuliana paused for a moment before walking toward Christopher.

Christopher turned his head to look at Yuliana after hearing her footsteps. He gave her a long, hardlook with. his narrowed eyes. His gaze contained some scrutiny as well as other feelings.

Yuliana was a little flustered because she could not figure it out.

She curled her fingers uneasily and asked, “What do you want to talk about?”

Nevertheless, Christopher continued to look at her with that kind of gaze and did not answer herquestion. Moments later, he averted his gaze and took a long drag on the cigarette in his hand. Thecigarette’s light instantly illuminated his face.

Yuliana looked at the scene and became slightly dazed for a moment..

Actually, she loathed the smell of cigarettes and was utterly disgusted by smokers. Harry smoked, too,but he hardly ever did it in her presence. Moreover, Harry was not addicted to cigarettes, so he smokedmore only in social settings.

Among the people she had met, Christopher was considered a heavy smoker.

If she ignored her personal emotions, Christopher actually looked quite attractive and charming from anaesthetic standpoint when he was smoking
