Xu Fang’s face turned pale and then flushed, and she continued to break out in a cold sweat. Her eyes were full of reluctance, but she still sneered and said, “I didn’t expect you to be an Alpha? Didn’t President Shen say that she would absolutely never accept an Alpha? Could it be that she saw how young and pretty this one is, and only took a fancy to her for a fling?”
Xu Fang’s words were full of malice, completely treating Jiang Rou as someone who could be bought with money.
After all, with someone looking like Jiang Rou, and an Alpha at that, how could it be possible without money? Xu Fang didn’t suspect anything else. After all, she had experienced firsthand just how straight Shen Wanli was, so she subconsciously assumed the two were in that kind of relationship, and that Jiang Rou was even the submissive one.
However, Jiang Rou didn’t care about this at all. She wasn’t like Xu Fang, who had an extremely strong sense of pride and regarded self-esteem above everything else.
Looking at Xu Fang’s trembling body, caused by her cold-sweat-soaked face, Jiang Rou said, “I thought President Shen, who has always claimed to be an Alpha, would be much stronger. It feels like nothing much after all.”
Hearing what practically amounted to Xu Fang’s powerless roar of rage, Jiang Rou didn’t care at all. After all, in her eyes, Xu Fang wasn’t even a match as a love rival. What was the use of getting angry with such a person? She was mainly just annoyed that Xu Fang had actually dared to poach Shen Wanli’s business.
“Xiaorou, let’s go.”
Watching the two people attacking each other with pheromones, Shen Wanli didn’t want Jiang Rou to waste any more time with an irrelevant person.
Seeing Shen Wanli completely ignore her, it was impossible for Xu Fang not to be angry. After all, she hadn’t achieved any of her goals today, so she was naturally unwilling to just let the two of them walk away.
Yet, suppressed by Jiang Rou’s pheromones, she could do nothing at all and could only find some satisfaction with her mouth.
“I really didn’t expect President Shen to be this kind of person. But looking at this one’s combat value, I’m afraid President Shen isn’t the one on top, are you? I didn’t expect President Shen to be such a person without principles. But seeing that aside from her face, this one is utterly useless, why don’t you come with me instead? How about I take good care of you, President Shen?”
Xu Fang’s smile was full of malice, with a strong posture of breaking the pot and breaking away. Anyway, she knew that after today, she would have thoroughly offended Shen Wanli. Her original plan had been to get Shen Wanli drunk, since everyone knew Shen Wanli had a poor tolerance for alcohol; she just hadn’t expected Jiang Rou to show up and ruin things, directly wrecking her plans.
Hearing Xu Fang’s unbridled words, anger surged straight from Jiang Rou’s heart. Not only was this person’s mindset disgusting, but her mouth was even more revolting. Unable to hold back, she threw a punch straight at Xu Fang’s face.
The force of this punch was considerable. With a loud bang, blood spilled from the corner of Xu Fang’s mouth. Feeling that she still hadn’t vented enough of her anger, Jiang Rou specifically targeted Xu Fang’s mouth, hitting her until her lips were completely swollen.
Looking at the scene before her, Shen Wanli felt it was far too shocking. Fearing that something might go wrong if Jiang Rou kept hitting her, she hurriedly pulled Jiang Rou’s hand and led her aside.
“Xiaorou, stop hitting her. If you keep hitting her, something serious will happen.”
Shen Wanli’s slightly anxious voice pulled Jiang Rou back to her senses.
Looking at Xu Fang, who was on the verge of breathing her last, Jiang Rou grabbed her collar, her tone filled with killing intent: “You should be thankful that this is a society ruled by law. If there is a next time, I won’t let you off so easily.”
Xu Fang wanted to open her mouth to sneer, but found that apart from her whole body trembling continuously, she couldn’t speak at all. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness, yet she could only watch the backs of the two people slowly fade from her sight.
In the end, afraid that Xu Fang might genuinely be seriously hurt, Shen Wanli called a doctor to have Xu Fang sent to the hospital. Even so, she wasn’t afraid of whatever stories Xu Fang might spin later.
“Xiaorou, are you okay?”
Looking at Jiang Rou, whose clothes were stained with blood, Shen Wanli felt her head spinning, but she still couldn’t help caring for Jiang Rou.
After all, Jiang Rou’s impression on her today completely subverted her perception. The past Jiang Rou had always been soft and delicate, acting like someone waiting for her protection every day. But today, the Jiang Rou who rushed to the front to protect her made Shen Wanli feel that at that moment, no matter what kind of attack she faced, she would feel completely secure.
That little crybaby who had always stayed behind her had finally grown up. Alcohol flooded Shen Wanli’s brain, making her feel as though her entire body was floating, and she could barely walk steadily.
Jiang Rou pulled Shen Wanli over, letting her lean against her body as they walked.
Hearing Shen Wanli’s words, even while drunk, she still didn’t forget to care about her, making Jiang Rou’s heart feel warm.
No matter what, Shen Wanli’s gentleness and care could always make someone sink so deeply.
Helping Shen Wanli into the passenger seat, Jiang Rou looked at Shen Wanli, who had already fallen asleep there. Suddenly, she raised her hand and gently tucked a stray lock of hair behind Shen Wanli’s ear, revealing the flushed face brought on by drunkenness.
Shen Wanli’s eyes were closed, and her lips were slightly pouted.
This expression suddenly made Jiang Rou’s throat go a little dry, making her feel a strong urge for some water to moisten it.
Jiang Rou kept her head lowered, looking at Shen Wanli in her sleep. Those pitch-black pupils looked as though they had been splashed with ink, so dark they seemed like a vortex capable of sucking someone in.
Thinking of what happened today, and looking at Shen Wanli’s sleeping face once more, Jiang Rou ultimately couldn’t hold back. She leaned down and pressed her lips against Shen Wanli’s.
Stealing a kiss while someone was asleep still felt rather clumsy and green when Jiang Rou did it.
Her heart went thump, thump, beating like a little deer trying to leap right out of her chest.
The warmth on those lips involuntarily made Jiang Rou recall the summer when the college entrance exams ended. At that time, her studies were very busy, and Shen Wanli had picked her up to attend a birthday banquet. It was then that Jiang Rou remembered she had completely forgotten about Shen Wanli’s birthday.
Jiang Rou felt extremely awkward. Being young at the time and unwilling to admit she had forgotten to buy a gift, she told Shen Wanli to close her eyes.
“What mysterious thing are you up to?”
Shen Wanli’s tone was full of curiosity.
Knowing what she was about to do, Jiang Rou couldn’t help feeling shy. Her hands clenched slightly into her clothes, and her palms were sweaty with nervousness.
“Just close your eyes and you will find out. No peeking!”
Jiang Rou warned in a small voice.
Hearing Jiang Rou’s words, Shen Wanli smiled dotingly. “Alright, alright. Are you going to be quick about it?”
Hearing Shen Wanli’s teasing remark, Jiang Rou’s entire face turned blushing red. Like someone heading heroically to their martyrdom, she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Shen Wanli’s mouth.
Jiang Rou could feel Shen Wanli’s body stiffen slightly. She grew extremely nervous instantly, fully prepared to be pushed away at any moment. Who would have thought that just as Jiang Rou was about to pull away from Shen Wanli’s lips, she would be pulled into a tight embrace by Shen Wanli.
The two of them kissed under the flowering trees. Falling cherry blossoms drifted through the air, the wind brushed against both of their faces, and sunlight pierced through the leaves, casting a brilliant radiance over the beautiful scene.
Recalling that past kiss, Jiang Rou looked at Shen Wanli’s face and whispered softly, “Older sister is as magnetic to bees and butterflies as ever.”
