Saving the Heartthrob Frenemy-Chapter 480: Two cats fighting
Suppressing her disappointment, Bi Yu took a deep breath and put on a fake smile. "Young Miss Zi is truly concerned for her people. Even when she is sick and injured she still comes out to check on her fellow disciples," said Bi Yu while Luo Muchen helped set her down on the log.
"Bring her a warm coat," said Luo Muchen as he stepped away but just as he took a step back she lightly grabbed his sleeve and looked apologetic,
"I am sorry for causing you trouble. I just felt suffocated in my carriage."
Bi Yu almost laughed out loud. Who didn’t know this bitch was interested in Luo Muchen just like the rest of them. The only problem was that the Lee family didn’t pick her initially as she was a sickly woman. What use would she be to the Lee clan if she couldn’t even carry a child from her weakness? This made Bi Yu the perfect candidate but of course, the Bi family screwed that up.
Now that he was probably going to choose another wife, Zi Mixen would be the next option. She was working very hard using her sickness to her advantage.
Luo Muchen knew his father had said he should warm up to her and this was the perfect opportunity because she was injured but he couldn’t help his aversion. It was like his entire body was rejecting her like it was against his nature. He loosened her grip on his sleeve and said, "Don’t stay out too long." She shivered like a leaf when he let her go but unlike her expectation, he didn’t hold her. She had purposely told her maidservant to delay bringing her coat but it seemed her plan didn’t really work.
"Young.... young master Luo may you help me raise my leg?" she asked and Bi Yu interjected.
"Isn’t that asking for too much? Young Miss Zi, have you forgotten his identity as the young master of the Lee family? Why not ask all of your other attendants," she said spitting facts but Luo Muchen dragged a small log and placed it in front of Zi Mixen before saying,
"You will need a cushion for your ankle. The log is too hard." After saying that he left and Bi Yu could swear he saw a smug smile across her face.
"You know he isn’t interested in you, right?" she said not even bothering to hide her disdain.
A maidservant brought over a coat and placed it over her shoulder. Another maidservant handed her a bowl of medicine. Zi Mixen pulled her coat tightly and blew on her medicine softly before saying, "You think I am like you? You had the chance to marry him and fumbled. I was ready to concede. My health gave me a competitive disadvantage but now it is my biggest strength... You lost your chance a long time ago." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Bi Yu finally saw Zi Mixen’s cat claws. She had been rumoured to be a benevolent young miss with grace like that of a saint. Now Bi Yu knew it was only an act. "Don’t be so delusional," said Bi Yu but she was burning inside.
"What are you two cats fighting over?" a voice suddenly came from the shadows and Lee Ya stepped out looking smug.
"Let’s settle it here. I give each of you a sword and whoever wins marries my bastard brother. After all, he is going to be single soon... better yet you can both marry him but one can be the main wife and the other can only be a concubine."
Bi Yu chuckled silently before saying, "Well, I think he is single already. His ger is hanging with my brother right now sharing a carriage and feeding each other my food that he took from me."
When Lee Ya heard this her face sank. How come no one told her that Qie Xieling was with Bi Yize? She had deliberately stayed out of the fight earlier. If her brother wanted to play hero for his future wife what business did it have with her? She could care but who would have thought that slut was here and had already clung on to another man.
She turned and left with a dark cloud hovering above her head. She had to find him and drag him to their campsite. He wasn’t allowed to be with the one surnamed Bi. The two siblings seemed concerned for the same person leaving behind one sickly beauty and her love rival.
Qie Xieling had no idea that the information about his presence in the Bi camp had reached Lee Ya and she was rushing over here like a steaming train engine ready to ram someone.
"Where is he?" she said as she invaded the Bi campsite. She entered one of the carriages without their permission but didn’t find him.
"Young Miss Lee, this is inappropriate," said one of the disciples but she clutched his collar and shoved him away. The disciples gasped in horror not sure how to react. She was the precious daughter of the Lee clan and was held up like the sky. The ground she walked on was worshipped so how could they lay a hand on her?
She moved on to the other two carriages but Qie Xieling wasn’t there. He was walking towards a hot spring completely unaware that there was a storm wreaking havoc in the campsite. Hurricane Lee Ya was tearing up the campsite with him being the focus.

He stood at the banks of the hot spring, the steam rising from the crystal-clear water creating an ethereal mist around him. He had brought a change of clothes that were neatly folded. He placed them on a nearby rock. As he slipped out of his outer robe, the fabric cascaded down his body, revealing his toned physique. Unbeknownst to him, hidden eyes watched his every move from the bushes, their gaze filled with desire.
To the person observing, his movements held an alluring grace that bordered on sensuality. Each action seemed to accentuate his natural charm, drawing them deeper into their forbidden fascination. He shed his robe, exposing skin as smooth as jade to the moonlight, which bathed him in an otherworldly glow. At that moment, he resembled a deity, a divine being sent from heaven itself to tempt and torment mortal men
