25 – Public Displays of Affection, Scattering Dog Food Everywhere
Instantly, everyone turned to look at the source of the voice.
Then, upon seeing the newcomer…
Those who recognized him and those who didn’t all felt a chill run down their spines, their entire bodies trembling!
It was a fear… an instinctive terror that came from deep within their bones!
Striding forward was a tall man dressed entirely in black.
The man’s face was extraordinarily handsome—no other man present could compare to him!
Yet, his gaze was so profound it seemed to hold ice, and the overwhelming, almost blinding aura around him made people afraid to even glance his way!
Instinctively, they lowered their heads, trembling with fear—one could even say respectfully—welcoming his grand arrival!
“F-Fourth Master Ji?!” Jiang Muze’s father, Jiang Jiahe, was the first to recognize Ji Hanyuan, immediately feeling as if facing a formidable enemy!
His entire body tensed up instantly, and he hurried forward to greet him.
“I didn’t know Fourth Master Ji would visit so suddenly. I apologize for not welcoming you properly.”
Even though he was the elder, in front of Ji Hanyuan, he had no right to put on airs as a senior!
Unless he felt he had lived too long or that the Jiang family was doing too well!
After all, with Ji Hanyuan’s ruthless and unyielding methods—showing no mercy even to family—he could topple a family in minutes!
Not to mention, the Jiang family was only a second-tier family!
Ji Hanyuan, though only twenty-six years old, had already been forging his own path for ten years.
Leaving aside the Ji Family, which was nearly at the top of the first-tier families, Ji Hanyuan alone had built a business empire that could almost dominate the world!
Moreover… this terrifying man… just a few days ago had personally ruined his third brother’s birthday banquet…
Without lifting a finger, he had brought Ji Mingpeng to his knees.
How could he dare offend such a fearsome and powerful man? Was it even possible?!
At this moment, Jiang Jiahe, even without knowing why Ji Hanyuan had suddenly appeared, had no choice but to handle the situation with extreme caution and utmost respect.
However, Ji Hanyuan didn’t even glance at him, striding directly into the lounge.
And then…
With a sudden kick.
He sent Mrs. Jiang, who was blocking his Tangtang, flying across the room!
Mrs. Jiang crashed heavily against the wall with a “thud,” vomiting a mouthful of blood with a “wah.”
“Mrs. Jiang!”
“Auntie!”
“Mom!”
Even Jiang Muze, who had seemed lost in a daze, snapped back to reality and rushed to help Mrs. Jiang!
“Who are you?! How dare you hit my mom!”
Jiang Muze didn’t recognize Ji Hanyuan at first, glaring at him and roaring angrily in question.
But Jiang Jiahe immediately slapped Jiang Muze hard across the face.
“You unfilial son! Do you think today hasn’t been embarrassing enough?! Shut your mouth!”
“Dad?!”
Jiang Muze covered his face in disbelief, looking at Jiang Jiahe. “Why did you hit me?!”
“I hit you because you deserved it!” Jiang Jiahe slapped him again, scolding him in frustration.
“This is Fourth Master Ji of the Ji Family! How dare you shout at him like that! Apologize now!!”
Jiang Jiahe then quickly turned to Ji Hanyuan with a flattering smile. “I’m truly sorry, Fourth Master Ji. It’s my fault for failing to teach my son properly. Muze is upset because his engagement didn’t go smoothly today, and he didn’t recognize you right away. I apologize sincerely. I hope you’ll be magnanimous and forgive my foolish son this once…”
Before Jiang Jiahe could finish speaking, he suddenly froze.
He saw Ji Hanyuan actually…
Wrap his large hand around Tang Jiaojiao’s slender waist, and then… lean down.
He actually… in public… under the watchful eyes of everyone…
Fiercely… sealed Tang Jiaojiao’s red lips…
With his own thin lips…
Their lips pressed together.
Ji Hanyuan’s force was extremely intense, as if he wanted to imprint the little figure in his arms deeply into his own flesh and blood.
Tangtang…
My Tangtang…
Do you know! When I couldn’t find you, how panicked, helpless, and terrified I was!
I was afraid… that you didn’t want me anymore… that you wanted to escape from my side…
If, if you really didn’t want me anymore…
I… truly would… want to die!
Tangtang was suddenly kissed fiercely, her first kiss taken just like that, leaving her dazed for a moment.
The cool, thin sensation between their lips brought waves of tingling numbness.
This feeling… was like suddenly falling into a cloud.
She couldn’t help but close her eyes, immersing herself in the sensation…
However… slowly, she sensed Ji Hanyuan’s emotions.
Her brother seemed to be afraid, nervous…
But what was he afraid of? What was he nervous about?
Though she didn’t know why, Tangtang instinctively wanted to comfort Ji Hanyuan.
She extended her slender hands, wrapping them around Ji Hanyuan.
Then… her red lips responded…
Lips and teeth pressed together…
Feeling the response from the little soft candy in his arms, Ji Hanyuan’s eyes snapped open.
Slowly… he came back to his senses.
His Tangtang was still here.
His Tangtang hadn’t abandoned him!
Ji Hanyuan slowly released Tangtang, pressing his forehead against hers, his voice hoarse as he whispered, “Darling, you won’t leave me, you’ll never leave me in this lifetime, right?”
Though Tangtang didn’t understand why Ji Hanyuan suddenly asked this, she immediately responded, her soft voice filled with urgency.
“Tangtang would never leave Brother! Tangtang will never leave Brother in this lifetime!”
Instantly, Ji Hanyuan fiercely pulled Tangtang back into his embrace.
He bit her earlobe firmly, his voice low, domineering, and obsessive as he whispered in her ear, “I really… love you to death!”
Loved her so much that in this lifetime, no one else would do!
Loved her so much that she was never allowed to leave his side!
Loved her so much that even if he became a ghost, he would still be a pair of mandarin ducks, flying together with her!
The two of them were lost in their affectionate display, but the onlookers around them were utterly stunned!
They began whispering and murmuring among themselves.
“Oh my goodness… the legendary Fourth Master Ji, who was said to have severed all emotions and love… is actually… actually showing off his affection in public! This completely shatters my stereotypical impression of Fourth Master Ji!”
“That domineering kiss… that obsessive love… it’s truly enviable!”
“It must be said, the two of them are a perfect match in both looks and temperament!”
“However, the girl seems to come from a less prominent family, just a minor clan…”
“Ah, I suddenly remember! At Ji Mingpeng’s banquet the other day, Fourth Master Ji brought a girl too! But at the time, Fourth Master Ji kept the girl hidden in his arms, so I never got a clear look at her face!”
“Right! Me too! And besides… who would have thought the girl Fourth Master Ji fell for would be from a minor family!”
For the past few days, they had been guessing which prominent family’s daughter she was, who had the fortune to win over the most esteemed man in the entire capital!
Perhaps… she also came from a prestigious background and had an impressive history.
Little did they expect that the mystery would be revealed in such an absurd and miraculous moment today!
She was actually a girl from a minor family!
And this girl was even deeply entangled in a whirlpool of rumors…
Seduce her own sister’s fiancé…
And… violently beat up her brother-in-law and sister…
Suddenly, everyone began to wonder.
If Fourth Master Ji found out…
What would his attitude be?
Given his notoriously short-tempered and irritable nature, would he snap the neck of such a woman who betrayed him on the spot?
