Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 241

Surprised, Pan Meijia inadvertently dropped the bamboo water bottle she was holding. Just in the nick of time, Ling Yun, who stood beside her, swiftly caught the falling bottle.

"Why are you so careless?" He asked, concern flashed in his eyes.

Before Ling Yun could return the water bottle to Pan Meijia, he watched in surprise as she walked quickly toward a man wearing a military coat. An inexplicable sense of crisis hit him. Watching her talk with the man, his hand holding the water bottle instinctively tightened.

For the first time, he saw a smile he had never seen before on her face, and this smile was not directed at him. Her normally polite demeanor now carried affection toward that man that made him feel sour, bitter, and irritated.

Unaware of the turmoil brewing in Ling Yun’s heart, Pan Meijia looked at Xiao Yiguan with bright eyes and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Yiguan, why are you here?"

Xiao Yiguan looked at Pan Meijia coldly and asked, "Why can’t I be here?"

Pan Meijia was taken aback by his indifferent attitude. When she saw Xiao Yiqing behind him and the bruises on her face, she was even more surprised. She looked at her with worry and asked, "Brother Yiguan, what’s wrong with Yiqing?"

As soon as she asked, Xiao Yiguan became furious and asked her angrily, "Meijia, are you seriously asking me this now? Have you forgotten the promise you made to me when you and Qingqing left the capital? Is this how you take care of my sister?"

Pan Meijia was startled by his outburst and took a few steps back. She clenched her fists and said, "I didn’t know something like this would happen to Yiqing. If I knew, I..."

"Enough!" Xiao Yiguan interrupted her.

"No matter what you say now, it’s useless. The damage has been done, and you, her so-called best friend, do nothing to help her. Pan Meijia, you really let me down." Xiao Yiguan said coldly with a hint of disappointment.

"Brother Yiguan, I..." she said, her voice trembling with guilt and regret.

Pan Meijia stretched out her hand to pull at his sleeve. But before she touched his clothes, he waved his hand and said coldly, "Don’t touch me!"

Pan Meijia was caught off guard and pushed back. She fell backward as she lost her footing. Xiao Yigua’s eyes widened when he saw her falling and instinctively reached out to support her. But before he could hold her hand, someone had already pulled her into his arms.

Feeling the strong chest on her back, Pan Meijia raised her head and asked dazed, "Brother Ling, why are you here?"

Ling Yun looked at her with a dark face and asked her sullenly, "When you are bullied, do you still expect me to stand by and watch?"
