Shen Tingfeng looked at her with a lecherous grin, seemingly enjoying her initiative and openness. His dark eyes, heavy with desire, gently swirled the wine glass. "I like both."
As long as it was her, any position was fine!
Just as An Ruo was about to continue, she looked up and noticed A Jin standing blatantly in the room. Her voice was flat. "Does he have to watch while we're in bed?"
Ever since he got beaten up for no reason last time, he had specially hired a bodyguard who had stood out in a death-training competition to protect him at all times!
Shen Tingfeng waved his hand. "Wait outside. I'll call you if I need you."
A Jin glanced at An Ruo, his wary eyes fixed on the bag she had placed on the sofa. Instinct told him it was dangerous, but knowing Shen Tingfeng's unpredictable temper, raising the issue without evidence would likely earn him a beating.
He gave a slight nod. "Yes."
Watching him leave, An Ruo's tense heart slowly relaxed. With the obstacle gone, it would be easier for her to make a move on Shen Tingfeng.
Now she just had to figure out how to kill this man...
As she was distracted, a dangerous aura closed in. An Ruo instinctively wanted to flee, but her clear-headed mind forcefully suppressed the urge.
Shen Tingfeng reached out and pulled her into an embrace, closing his eyes as if intoxicated by the faint fragrance on her. His blood boiled in an instant, and he couldn't wait to possess her completely!
From the first time he saw her, he had tossed and turned sleeplessly for days, her face haunting his dreams. The woman in his arms gradually became her...
Shen Tingfeng was going mad with desire for her!
"Baby, do you know how long I've waited for this day?" Shen Tingfeng wrapped his arms around her from behind, his long limbs circling to caress her face, his nose lightly brushing against her fair, elegant neck, his eyes filled with obsession. "Every day, I think about how to take you from him."
"..."
An Ruo stood motionless, letting him cling to her like a dog, her heart filled with disgust!
"How could a cripple like him deserve you?"
His voice was slightly hoarse. "You can only be mine."
An Ruo's gaze turned cold. "I don't belong to anyone."
The man kissed her neck, then suddenly bent down, lifted her up, and threw her onto the sofa. His slightly upturned peach-blossom eyes burned with intense lust. "I will take you back."
"Isn't this already taking?" An Ruo stared at him coldly. "You knew I just got my marriage certificate with him, yet you couldn't wait to threaten me with Xiaoche's life to come here."
A contemptuous smile curled at her lips. "You're doing this just to humiliate him, aren't you? As you wished, he was right there when you called and heard everything."
Watching his own wife run into another man's arms must have broken his heart—that was exactly Shen Tingfeng's goal.
"Good, let him hear. That's what I want." Shen Tingfeng unbuttoned her pants, a wicked grin spreading across his face. "This way, that useless fool can see clearly that you're mine."
An Ruo reiterated, "I told you, I don't belong to anyone."
"After tonight, you'll be my woman." Shen Tingfeng lifted her shirt, leaning down to kiss her fair, delicate neck, leaving behind ambiguous marks...
It would be a perfect gift for that bastard, now that his eyes were healed!
An Ruo suppressed the nausea, reached beside her, and pulled the sharp boning knife from her bag—
"Ah!"
A pained roar escaped the man's throat.
Shen Tingfeng clutched his arm and stood up, thick liquid seeping through his fingers, dripping onto the intricately patterned carpet, soaking it instantly.
He raised his furious gaze. "You want to kill me!?"
"Is it strange to want to kill you?" An Ruo gripped the handle tightly, aiming it at him, her eyes filled with cold ruthlessness. "Tell your men to let my brother go, or your life ends here today!"
Shen Tingfeng stiffened. "Ha, baby, do you know what you're doing? That thing is dangerous. Put it down, and we can talk nicely."
"Since I agreed to marry Shen Xiaoxing, I won't betray him. You think you can use me to humiliate him? Do you really think I'm someone you can push around so easily?" An Ruo pressed the boning knife to his neck, her voice icy.
"Don't be rash... All my men are outside. If you kill me, you won't even make it out the door." Seeing the clear murderous intent in her eyes, Shen Tingfeng realized she had come armed, meaning she was fully prepared. He tried not to provoke her, speaking softly to coax her.
"To be honest, I came today ready to die with you!" An Ruo pressed the knife hard against his neck, the blade stained with blood. Her face was calm, showing no fear. "Release An Che!"
She cut a shallow wound on his neck. Shen Tingfeng hadn't expected her to be serious, so he had to comply. "Fine. I'll have him released. Don't get worked up..."
The door suddenly burst open, and A Jin rushed in with a bruised face. "Second Young Master..."
Seeing Shen Tingfeng held hostage by An Ruo, he immediately raised his gun at her.
An Ruo reacted swiftly as he broke in, grabbing Shen Tingfeng by the collar and pressing the boning knife to his neck, threatening coldly, "Put the gun down, or I'll kill him!"
"What are you waiting for? Do as she says!"
Shen Tingfeng gave him a look. A Jin slowly bent down, gun in hand, but just as the girl let her guard down, he pulled the trigger with lightning speed—
"Bang!"
Two guns fired simultaneously. The bullet grazed An Ruo's ear and hit the wall.
In the nick of time, Han Chong shot A Jin's arm, causing the bullet to veer off course. Then he grabbed his arm and yanked it back hard. The sound of bones breaking was followed by A Jin's muffled screams of pain...
A group of black-clad bodyguards rushed in, led by a burly man who looked about two meters tall, with a samurai topknot, a fang-like earring on his left ear, and half his face tattooed with a ferocious pattern.
Shen Tingfeng, trying to escape in the chaos, was grabbed by the burly man like a chick.
"Let go!" Shen Tingfeng struggled to break free. "Do you know who I am!?"
Ye Feng glanced at him. Han Chong, after dealing with A Jin, bowed respectfully to the still-stunned girl. "Madam, Young Master An is waiting in the car. Leave this to us."
An Ruo, jolted from her daze by the sudden chaos, grabbed her clothes and bag from the sofa and rushed out of the room.
Seeing Han Chong was like seeing Shen Xiaoxing—he must have been sent to save her!
She couldn't wait to run out of the hotel and spotted a familiar RV at the intersection. A bodyguard standing by opened the door hastily. "Madam, please."
An Che was badly injured, slumped in the seat, breathing weakly. An Ruo called his name twice, but he fell unconscious, covered in blood, some already dried on his clothes...
An Ruo immediately told the driver to head to the hospital. On the way, they ran into He Su, who was about to leave work. He glanced over, recognized her, and quickly caught up.
"What happened?"
"My brother was beaten. He's lost a lot of blood..."
