Without even opening his eyes, Ye Linchen knew that the person who came was Liu Mingxuan.

She felt nauseous and sat up abruptly.

Sure enough, Liu Mingxuan was sitting on the recliner next to her, leaning towards her.

Seeing her open her eyes, a smile curved his lips, and he said affectionately, "Cousin..."

Ye Linchen's face darkened, and he coldly rebuked, "Don't try to get close to me. I don't have a cousin that old."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingxuan was not angry at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited.

His eyes, like searchlights, scanned Ye Linchen relentlessly.

Ye Linchen wore a blue swimsuit, which perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.

Compared to Meng Zihan, who is otherwise equally flat, it's a world of difference.

He had succeeded in getting Meng Zihan, but then he found that she wasn't as interesting as his previous girlfriends.

The thought of spending his life with a woman whose true nature he could see right through made him feel utterly bored.

How can anyone compare to this cold beauty before me?

When she's not smiling, she's as cold as an iceberg; when she smiles, it's like a spring breeze brushing across an ice surface, with an irresistible infectious charm.

He couldn't help but fantasize about what kind of expression Ye Linchen would make if he could conquer her and make her writhe in pleasure beneath him.

Also, why didn't Ye Linchen let him call her "cousin"?

It must be because they care about themselves and don't want to be bound by this kinship, which would hinder their further development.

Thinking of this, Liu Mingxuan's smile became even brighter, and he said affectionately, "Okay, okay, I won't call you cousin. Then... I'll call you Xiao Chen, okay? Xiao Chen, actually... I understand your feelings, and I feel the same way as you."

"The same feeling?" Ye Linchen felt a chill run down her spine. She frowned and said with disgust, "My intention is for you to get lost and stop bothering me. Just seeing you makes me feel nauseous!"

Liu Mingxuan, however, didn't care at all. He adjusted his glasses and said to himself, "Xiao Chen, don't be shy. I know you don't like Meng Zihan. I know very well the relationship between you and your cousins. But don't worry, I'm on your side. Just say the word, and I can dump Meng Zihan and be with you openly!"

Ye Linchen said impatiently, "How your relationship is with Meng Zihan has nothing to do with me. Don't try to smear me!"

Seeing that Ye Linchen was still acting coy, Liu Mingxuan kindly reminded her.

"Xiao Chen, stop playing hard to get. It gets boring if you use that trick too often."

"Playing hard to get?" Ye Linchen asked in surprise.

"Isn't that right? If you weren't interested in me, why would you come to Haicheng? Didn't you come along because you knew Zihan and I were going to Haicheng for our honeymoon? And you even deliberately wore such a revealing swimsuit to seduce me."

Ye Linchen was so disgusted by Liu Mingxuan's narcissism that she could no longer stand it and started cursing.

"You're ugly but full of wild ideas, a self-righteous toad!"

"I'm wearing a swimsuit because this is a beach, and everyone on the beach is wearing a swimsuit. Are they all trying to seduce you?"

"Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? With your character, you think you're worthy?"

"I feel nauseous just talking to an idiot like you!"

"roll!"

"If you dare to bother me again, I'll call the police and report you for indecent assault!"

Liu Mingxuan was stunned by Ye Linchen's barrage of angry words.

I never expected that this seemingly gentle and aloof "cousin" would be so shrewish!

This is completely different from what I imagined!

Liu Mingxuan was about to say a few more sweet words when he saw Meng Zihan rush over and yell at Ye Linchen.

"Ye Linchen, have you no shame?!"

"You seduced my boyfriend while I was away!"

"I knew it! I've been seeing you every day these past few days, you must be the one pulling the strings behind my back! I knew I was right!"

"How could you be so mean? Whenever I have something good, you try to steal it. And now it's the same thing. Seeing that I'm dating Mingxuan, you can't sit still and have to shamelessly try to steal it!"

Meng Zihan's voice was sharp and shrill, instantly attracting the attention of those around her.

Everyone came over and pointed at Ye Linchen.

"What's going on? A love triangle?"

"Two women fighting over one man? That's so melodramatic!"

"You can know a person's face but not their heart. I never expected that woman, who was quite pretty, to be this kind of person."

Ye Linchen had been annoyed by Liu Mingxuan's harassment for the past few days and had been holding back his anger for a long time. Now, hearing Meng Zihan slander him like this, he could no longer tolerate it.

She stood up abruptly, raised her hand, and slapped Meng Zihan across the face without hesitation.

"Smack!"

The crisp sound of a slap echoed across the beach, instantly silencing the surrounding chatter.

Meng Zihan was stunned by the blow, covering her face and looking at Ye Linchen in disbelief: "You dare to hit me?"

Ye Linchen's eyes were icy, and his tone was even more impolite.

"I'll hit you! If you dare to spout nonsense and slander me again, I'll hit you again!"

She pointed at Liu Mingxuan, her voice laced with disdain, "Good stuff? He's nothing! You may care, but I don't! Get out of here with him, don't pollute my eyes!"

Liu Mingxuan's face turned ashen after being scolded by Ye Linchen.

He considered himself to be very skillful in matters of the heart.

Although he had conflicts with many girls because of their relationships, each girl still felt reluctant to let go and held onto fantasies about him when they broke up.

No one has ever humiliated him like this before, especially in front of so many people!

This made him feel utterly humiliated and utterly disgraced.

He hugged Meng Zihan, then wanted to accuse Ye Linchen: "Cousin, you..."

"Smack!"

Another resounding slap landed hard on Liu Mingxuan's face, effectively shutting him down.

The glasses on his nose were knocked off, with only one temple hanging on his ear.

Liu Mingxuan is severely nearsighted; without his glasses, everything in front of him is blurry.

Even Meng Zihan in his arms seemed to have grown fuzzy edges, and her appearance was hazy and unclear.

He hurriedly put on his glasses, squinted, and glared at Ye Linchen with a venomous look.

"You shrew, how dare you hit me!"

Ye Linchen felt much better after beating the couple.

She shook her numb hand, glanced contemptuously at the two of them, and continued her tirade without any politeness: "You two, one stupid and wicked, the other wicked and stupid, you're a match made in heaven! You should lock yourselves up together and keep them from harming others!"

She looked at Meng Zihan and sneered, "You say I seduced him? Which eye saw that?"

"My itinerary was arranged by the school months ago. I just follow the group wherever I go. But why do your itineraries overlap with ours every day? Who is arranging this? Who is sabotaging this? Don't you know?"
