“What I want to do is none of your business!”
Lin Wanfu was rebellious by nature, responding only to gentleness and resisting force. She struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Shen Congyan’s grip, but how could she possibly be a match for him?
After a brief scuffle, Shen Congyan seized Lin Wanfu’s hands, bound them behind her back with his tie, and restrained her.
Immediately after,
Shen Congyan dragged the now-restricted Lin Wanfu from the entryway into the living room, then callously threw her onto the sofa.
“Lin Wanfu, eighty percent of your Lin family’s debt belongs to me. Do you still think I have no right to control you?”
He looked down at the fragile woman on the sofa, the light and shadow sharply defining the contours of his face. His inscrutable expression only intensified his overwhelmingly aggressive aura.
Lin Wanfu’s eyes reddened with anger. “Shen Congyan, you despicable, shameless, disgusting scoundrel!”
Heaven truly had no eyes. Someone like Shen Congyan should have died abroad—how was he fit to be the male lead?!
She must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be targeted by such an unrestrained mad dog.
The sofa cushion beside her sank as the man’s tall frame completely enveloped Lin Wanfu. Like a wolf marking its territory, he trapped her on the sofa, allowing no one to peek or covet.
Feeling Shen Congyan’s scorching chest press closer, Lin Wanfu instinctively recoiled. “What exactly do you want?”
Shen Congyan reached out and grasped Lin Wanfu’s delicate, slender ankle, dragging her back without a word. His warm breath brushed against the side of her neck. “What do I want? What do you think I want, Miss Lin?”
Hearing this, Lin Wanfu panicked inwardly but forced herself to remain calm. “Shen Congyan, I know your influence abroad is immense, but this is China. If you dare act recklessly, I will call the police, and you’ll end up in prison!”
Though she said this, she had little confidence in her words.
For someone like Shen Congyan, who was capable of such insane acts as kidnapping and imprisonment, calling the police would be utterly useless.
Moreover, the fact that Shen Congyan could appear silently in her home, leaving her no escape, meant his people were surely all around. If he truly intended to do something to her, he likely wouldn’t leave behind any evidence for her to use against him.
“Miss Lin, you’re adorably foolish.” Shen Congyan’s cool fingertips traced Lin Wanfu’s delicate brows and eyes, settling on her slightly swollen lips. “It seems all you’re capable of is seducing men.”
A flash of brutality crossed his eyes as his rough thumb rubbed harshly against Lin Wanfu’s tender lips, as if trying to wipe something away.
But Lin Wanfu hadn’t even worn lipstick; his actions only made her already rosy lips redder.
Lin Wanfu couldn’t bear such mockery.
She glared venomously at Shen Congyan, each word dripping with poison. “Do you know what you look like right now? You’re like an unloved, resentful husband. You’re just jealous that I seduced Su Che and not you. That’s all you amount to—deserving to be played like a dog by me.”
Shen Congyan was stung by Lin Wanfu’s words. His expression darkened further, his tone icy. “Are you that desperate? Always thinking about seducing other men?”Lin Wanfu was also infuriated by Shen Congyan’s words, and she lashed out even more recklessly, “Even if I were so desperate that I hired seven or eight male models in one night, it’s none of your business!”
“Hiring seven or eight male models? You really are something. I underestimated you.”
Shen Congyan suddenly let out a cold laugh, and then his fingers rested on the metal buckle of his belt.
With a soft click, he pulled out a black leather belt and held it in his hand.
Lin Wanfu’s heart skipped a beat, and a trace of panic finally flickered in her eyes. “Shen Congyan, I’m warning you. If you dare lay a hand on me today, I’ll make sure Shen Huaijin finishes you off.”
Shen Congyan ignored Lin Wanfu’s threats. Casually, he unbuttoned his shirt cuff and rolled it up slightly, revealing a firm and well-defined forearm, the faintly visible veins on his muscles inexplicably suggestive.
“Will you lie down yourself, or do I have to make you?”
“What did you say?” Lin Wanfu almost thought she was hallucinating, her face filled with disbelief.
Was this bastard actually planning to whip her with the belt? How perverted! Who even thinks of something like that?
Shen Congyan folded the belt and used the tip to lift Lin Wanfu’s chin, looking down at her.
“I’ve been too gentle with you before, which is why you never learn your lesson.” His deep, magnetic voice echoed in Lin Wanfu’s ear, tinged with an undeniable possessiveness that sent shivers down her spine.
Lin Wanfu turned her head away. “Shen Congyan, what else can you do besides using your power to force me into submission? Do you think this will make me like you? Dream on!”
She tried to kick Shen Congyan in front of her, but he caught her calf.
In the blink of an eye, he effortlessly pinned her down on the sofa, forcing her to lie face down.
“You’ll find out soon enough what else I can do.” Shen Congyan pressed one hand on Lin Wanfu’s shoulder while using the other to brush away the strands of hair covering her face. In a hoarse voice, he said, “Lin Wanfu, even if a forcibly plucked melon isn’t sweet, I’ll still take a bite. You’ll never escape me in this lifetime. You’re mine, and mine alone.”
His tone was eerily calm, yet it carried a hint of unsettling obsession.
Lin Wanfu was never one to tolerate humiliation, and being treated this way now, how could she possibly hold back her anger? “Shen Congyan, aren’t you shameless? Are there no other women left in the world? Why are you fixated on me?”
Shen Congyan gripped Lin Wanfu’s chin, meeting her tear-filled eyes. His heart softened slightly. “I’ll give you one last chance. As long as you admit your mistake, I’ll let go of the fact that you went looking for Su Che.”
Lin Wanfu bit down hard on the fleshy part of Shen Congyan’s hand, her gaze filled with hatred.
“You’re always so self-righteous. Even my father doesn’t control me. What gives you the right?”
Her chest heaved with rapid breaths, a clear sign of her fury.
Shen Congyan’s hand was bleeding from the bite, but he only let out a low grunt from his throat.
His grip on Lin Wanfu’s chin didn’t loosen in the slightest. Word by word, he said, “Because I’m your fiancé.”
Tasting the faint metallic tang of blood in her mouth, Lin Wanfu was utterly disgusted. “We called off the engagement three years ago. What kind of fiancé are you to me?”Shen Congyan, however, disagreed. “That was the Lin family unilaterally breaking off the engagement, without my consent.”
Lin Wanfu sneered, “Do I need your permission to break off an engagement? Are you out of your mind? Or should I also ask for your permission before sleeping with someone in the future?”
The next second, she could no longer laugh.
Because Shen Congyan struck her with a belt.
It didn’t hurt, but the humiliation was intense.
