The deep crimson of blood spread at the bottom of her eyes, just like that day—the roaring of police sirens, the clamor of the crowd, and the sticky warmth at her fingertips.
“Brother!”
She struggled desperately, but compared to Si Yuchen, her strength was like that of an ant against an elephant.
In her distress, she leaned down and bit into his left arm.
He looked down at her, his lips curling with a hint of faint puzzlement.
With one bite, it felt as if her teeth had struck stone, the pain causing her to grit her teeth in agony, unable to close her mouth for quite some time.
“You’re asking for trouble, woman.” Releasing her, he immediately pulled her into his embrace, as though declaring his sovereignty over Gu Xiaonuan to the man groveling at his feet, “Mr.
Gu, I don’t care if she is your sister or…someone else.
Don’t fight with me.
Each person only has one life…
and it’s the only one.”
Although Gu Xijue was always cultured and modest, gentle and unassuming, the searing pain in his chest and the piercing mockery in the air fueled his rage, making it impossible to maintain his usual calmness and demeanor.
He sat up with difficulty, supporting himself with one hand at his side, the other clutching at his chest.
Nuannuan’s eyes were already red.
“Brother, are you okay?
Call the police, Si Yuchen, I’ll report you!”
It was him who had injured her brother like this.
She had taken him at his word, thinking he had just invited them to talk, but who knew this guy would turn on them?
Not only did he confine her, but he also beat her brother until he vomited blood.
He glanced at Gu Xijue, completely indifferent to her words.
His enchanting brown eyes reflected Gu Xijue’s disheveled and defiant look.
He suddenly laughed, his voice carrying a chilling terror.
She couldn’t help but look up at Si Yuchen; his smile was enchanting, bewitching, turning the world upside down.
His porcelain-like transparent skin, the elegant curve of his jawline, his nearly perfect profile…
His aquamarine lips slightly lifted, and his smile made her irresistibly entranced, instantly mesmerized.
Was Si Yuchen always this beautiful?
To describe a man as beautiful was a first for her, but he truly was the most handsome man she had ever seen.
There was a dangerous allure about him that made it impossible not to become infatuated.
He was like a composed hunter, smiling as he waited for his prey to willingly take the bait.
And when the prey was completely captivated by him, he would swallow her whole in one gulp.
Gu Xijue’s movements to rise abruptly stiffened.
The laughter of Si Yuchen was filled with contempt, but Nuannuan seemed to be spellbound by his smile, frozen in place.
He couldn’t help but frown in pain and called out, “Nuannuan!”
“…” Slowly turning her head, she followed the voice she heard, and the pained expression on her brother’s face immediately came into her sight.
“Brother, I…” She had actually been bewitched by Si Yuchen’s face just now!
“There’s no need to explain.” The arm around her waist suddenly tightened, lifting her up and pressing her intimately against him, as if he wanted to meld her into his body, “I know you want me right now.
But darling, don’t forget, you haven’t passed your safe period yet…”
His teasing gaze fell upon her flat stomach, and she felt as if he had seen her entire body, her face instantly flushing hot.
Si Yuchen was shameless, but she couldn’t afford to lose face like he could!
Waiting for her explanation, Gu Xijue struggled to suppress his anger, waiting for Nuannuan to explain.
But he was disappointed; all he saw was her head lowered in embarrassment and her cheeks red as if they would bleed.
Is this…
all true?
