Сhарtеr 4: None Arе Мore Imрortant Тhаn Yоu
Shеn Rаngсhen’s kissеs grеw fiеrсer, leаving Shen Ciying’s voiсе fragmеntеd аnd brеаthless.
Неаring this, Shen Rangсhеn’s moоd lifted considеrablу. His voicе, husky аnd laсеd with desire, rеplied, “I won’t.”
Не kissеd hеr fair, deliсаtе nеck as hе eхplainеd, “The рhotos оn the trending seаrсh wеre just а mаtter of anglеs. I wasn’t lооking at her, nоr would I evеr be intеrеstеd.”
Shen Сiying’s neсk tingled from his kissеs, аnd shе unconsciously tilted her heаd bаck, her seductivе dеmeanor оn full disрlay as she let out a few uncontrollable soft moans.
Hearing his explanation about the trending search, a smile touched her passion-flushed face.
She knew better than anyone how to read his words and observe his expressions, understanding when to be willful and when to be submissive.
She shifted her body, turning to face him as she settled onto his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. Taking the initiative, she leaned in to kiss his lips, her eyes meeting his amidst their intimate entanglement as she smiled and asked:
“Then will you marry me?”
She slid one hand down and twisted his tie, slowly winding it around her index finger, her smile captivating enough to bewitch anyone:
“Not for profit, not for family…”
Her fingers, still entwined with the tie, lightly brushed over the man’s seductive Adam’s apple, the amusement in her eyes growing even more alluring:
“Only for love and romance~”
Shen Rangchen’s Adam’s apple, lightly teased by her fingertips, bobbed repeatedly. Every nerve in his body seemed to tense at that moment, leaving him unbearably restless.
He had to admit, this little enchantress knew exactly how to please him.
His breathing grew low and rapid as he lost control, raising a hand to grip the back of her neck and kissing her again, even more fervently than before.
“Mmm!”
Shen Ciying whimpered, unable to bear the intensity, and tried to pull back, only to be met with an even more forceful onslaught.
Amidst their heated breaths, the man’s detached voice rang out:
“A Ying, I’ll take good care of you. Aside from a formal title, I’ll give you anything you want.”
The implication was clear: he wouldn’t marry Fu Yutang, nor would he marry you.
Shen Ciying wasn’t hurt or disappointed by his words; she merely used them to flirt and playfully tease him.
She knew from the very beginning that Shen Rangchen had never intended to marry her.
For people like them, marriage was often tied to interests—either a union of equals or a mutually beneficial transaction.
And she, alone and without connections, offered him no advantage.
Besides, that year, it was she who had schemed and willingly climbed into his bed, thus beginning their ambiguous relationship.
But it didn’t matter. There was no rush.
Shen Rangchen, we have plenty of time ahead of us.
Shen Ciying playfully pounded his shoulder, pretending to be aggrieved as she vented, “You bad man, you’re just using me to pass the time, aren’t you?”
Watching her expressive face, Shen Rangchen chuckled helplessly. “What other pastime would dare act like you—so disobedient, even letting your pet scratch me?”
Shen Ciying swatted away his hand, which was teasingly tormenting her chest, and lifted her face defiantly. “I just can’t stand seeing other women around you! I’m jealous and angry! I want to scratch you!”
Shen Rangchen seemed to recall something, a faint glimmer of cunning flashing in his eyes as he gently pinched her pink earlobe with his thumb:
“The trending search was orchestrated by that aunt and niece from the Fu family. If you’re angry, you should take it up with them. Why vent on me?”
He kissed the tip of her slightly reddened, upturned nose and coaxed:
“Do you only have the courage to make a scene with me, but not to confront others?”
“Who says I don’t have the courage?!” Shen Ciying frowned. “It’s just that I’m afraid of putting you in a difficult position. After all, Fu Yunxin is your stepmother, and Fu Yutang is her own niece.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Shen Rangchen said, looking into her eyes. “None of them are more important than you.”
Hearing the older man suddenly speak such sweet words, Shen Ciying’s expression shifted slightly.
Something felt off.
She met his gaze, trying to probe the depths of his heart, and continued:”Then I’ll settle old scores and new grudges all at once…”
Shen Rangchen smiled nonchalantly, “As long as A Ying is happy.”
Shen Ciying looked at him with a dazed and suspicious expression, tentatively asking, “Then may I ask President Shen for advice on how best to handle such matters?”
Shen Rangchen lightly uttered four words, “Once and for all.”
Shen Ciying gazed into his eyes, and after a few seconds, a clear smile appeared in her eyes as she spoke meaningfully:
“Shen Rangchen, you really are a bad man with honeyed words and a venomous heart.”
She draped her arms over his shoulders, kissed him proactively, and seized the opportunity to make a demand, “I’m out of money~”
Shen Rangchen enjoyed her kiss, feeling pleased, “How much do you need?”
“Not much this time.” Shen Ciying smiled with a pure yet seductive charm, “Just a million.”
She lowered her head to kiss his sexy Adam’s apple, gently sucking it, and whispered coquettishly, “In cash, please~”
The moment her lips touched his Adam’s apple, Shen Rangchen completely lost control, his physical craving for her instantly reaching its peak.
“Alright.”
He immediately flipped her over, pinning her down on the sofa, kissing her passionately from her lips to her fair and delicate neck.
Shen Ciying closed her eyes and tilted her head back, her hands threading through the hair of the man kissing her neck, her breath ragged:
“Carry… carry me upstairs, change into pajamas…”
“No need.” Shen Rangchen’s voice was filled with desire, “I like the vixen look you have today.”
He gently nibbled her earlobe, desire laced with laughter, “Little vixen, tonight will surely be a different flavor.”
Shen Ciying: “…”
…
Outside the window, the snowy night exuded an ethereal beauty, occasionally punctuated by the soft cries of a small snow fox.
Inside the room, the little vixen’s voice had gradually grown hoarse.
“Shen… Shen Rangchen!” She bit him angrily, “You beast!”
Shen Rangchen let her bite him, chuckling with satisfaction, “Didn’t A Ying ask me to finish you off tonight?”
“You…”
Shen Ciying was completely rendered speechless by his actions.
She only felt every nerve cell scattering, completely dominated by him.
Tonight.
Was endlessly long…
Fortunately, after waking up, she could boldly seek revenge.
Fu Yunxin and Fu Yutang had always disliked Shen Ciying. They even conspired to drug her while Shen Rangchen was abroad. If not for Fu Ye’s timely discovery, she would have ended up in who knows what state.
At that time, the Shen family matriarch, who had shown her kindness, was critically ill. Fu Yunxin, a daughter-in-law skilled in currying favor and playing humble, stayed by the old lady’s side, attending to her and winning her affection.
Fu Yutang had truly inherited her aunt Fu Yunxin’s ways, even surpassing her in some respects.
Especially since Shen Rangchen’s father was extremely satisfied with this junior, treating her almost like a daughter-in-law.
Back then, out of consideration for the old lady’s illness, revenge had to be postponed, and the grudge was forcibly suppressed in her heart.
This was the only time since adulthood that she hadn’t sought immediate revenge.
Oh, right, and there was Fu Yutang’s brother, Fu Yuan.
Fu Yutang’s brother, Fu Yuan, had tried to take liberties with her as soon as he arrived at the Shen family.
Upon learning of her nephew’s intentions, Fu Yunxin deliberately locked them in a remote room. In the end, Shen Ciying had to smash his head with her high heels to save herself.
They can all go to hell!
When Shen Ciying woke up again, it was still dark outside.
That beastly old man had made her sleep for another whole day.
Her mind was foggy, and it took her a while to sit up and get out of bed.
Fu Ye, seeing Shen Ciying emerge only after a full day’s sleep, frowned with a displeased expression.
