Chapter 26

The next moment, Jinye almost ran out of breath.

Damn it! Jinye hit him, but he was like a wall of copper and iron, she could only hurt her own hand.

Wei Liangchen’s pupils were as black as ink, the corner of his eye was red, and his voice was calm, like the calm before a storm, “You really like Zhou Siwei?”

At this moment, Jinye was a little scared. She swallowed, “It has nothing to do with him.”

“Then what does it have to do with?”

“You tell me?” Jinye looked at him, “Ling Shaomin was right, I’m not even a hanger-on, I’m just a—well.”

“Third Miss, open the door!” Chen Ma knocked on the door, but no one answered. However, she heard noises inside, so she pressed the doorknob.

Jinye shuddered.

Wei Liangchen released her lips, his breath left a hot trail on her neck, “Say you’re going to sleep.”

This bastard, what else does he want to do?

“Little Jin, it’s me, Ning Xiujun. Come down and play cards.”

Jinye shuddered again.

What kind of day is this?

The small mole at the corner of Wei Liangchen’s eye twitched, he wanted to kill someone, “Say you’re not playing, you have to review your lessons.”

Ning Xiujun’s ears were sharper than Chen Ma’s. She seemed to hear a man’s voice. She already had some suspicions, so she pressed the doorknob hard, “Little Jin, is there a cockroach? I’ll come in and help you kill it.”

Jinye’s heart pounded. She tried to make her voice sound normal, “There was a cockroach, but I can handle it. I’ll come down later.”

But Ning Xiujun, like a wolfhound smelling prey, wouldn’t let go, “Open the door first.”

Seeing that there was no response, she directly said to Chen Ma, “Go get the key from Madam.”

Jinye wanted to die at this moment. If Madam and Ning Xiujun saw this, what kind of storm would erupt.

Since she was going to die anyway, she glared at Wei Liangchen, “Second Brother, for the sake of the past year, please give me some dignity, stop treating me like your plaything, okay? I really don’t want to continue.”

Her eyes were filled with tears, but she looked resolute.

Wei Liangchen loosened his grip on her hand.

Jinye mustered all her strength and kicked him away.

Fortunately, her bedroom was the last one on the second floor, and it was far from the stairs. Chen Ma needed time to go back and forth.

She quickly tidied up her clothes in the bathroom and came out. Wei Liangchen was still a little disheveled, his whole person was gloomy, radiating an aura of rage, as if he wanted to devour her.

“Who told you that I treated you like a plaything?” His eyes were filled with anger.

“Isn’t it true?”

He sneered, “You’re making things up. At the cheongsam shop, you deliberately provoked Ling Shaomin, just to make trouble and blame me, wanting me to feel guilty and let you go.”

Jinye was startled. His gaze seemed to penetrate her heart.

But at this point, she couldn’t back down, “Isn’t Second Brother partial to Miss Ling? Otherwise, why would you feel guilty? I just made you see your own heart. Now that Miss Ling is coming back soon, I’m just leaving gracefully.”

During his days of heartbreak, she had also provided him with some comfort.

“Leaving gracefully?” He stood up, chuckling coldly.

The height difference created a strong sense of oppression. Jinye retreated to the dressing table.

He sneered, “You go out to pick peaches, and you think you can fly now? Or is it that Zhou Siwei has made you think that he can be your support?”

Jinye’s body froze.

“Did I hit the nail on the head?”

Outside, the sound of Ning Xiujun turning the doorknob continued, “Little Jin, open the door.”

Jinye didn’t have time to argue with him. She grabbed the perfume on the dressing table and sprayed it wildly, tidying the bed while saying, “Say whatever you want, I just hope Second Brother will let me go.”

He wouldn’t let her go, he just wasn’t tired of playing with her yet.

There was only lust between them, not love.

Wei Liangchen’s muscular upper body, with eight-pack abs, tensed. He stared at her for a few seconds, seeing a stubbornness in her eyes. Suddenly, he let out a “heh” and grabbed her, looking down at her, his smile chilling, “Are you serious?”

“Yes.”

“After we’re done, I won’t bother you anymore!”

The words “we’re done” made Jinye’s heart tremble, and a dull pain spread, but it was better to have short pain than long pain, “Yes, Second Brother, don’t come looking for me again.”

That sentence almost drained all her strength.

He let go of her, and she collapsed to the ground.

“Okay, you said it, don’t regret it.” Wei Liangchen glanced at her coldly, picked up his shirt from the floor, and turned towards the window.

There were some chaotic footsteps outside. Jinye jolted, quickly stuffed his boots under the bed, and tidied her hair. As Wei Liangchen’s voice disappeared at the window, the door creaked open.

“Little Jin, what are you doing?”

Mrs. Wei was about to speak when she saw Jinye holding a slipper, hitting it on the desk.

“I don’t know what happened, there were so many cockroaches. I was afraid of scaring Miss Ning, so I didn’t dare to open the door.” Jinye said, explaining why she hadn’t opened the door for so long.

“Where did so many cockroaches come from?” Mrs. Wei waved her hand, coughing a little, “You sprayed so much perfume.”

Ning Xiujun walked towards the window. As she entered, she seemed to see the curtain move. She went over to take a look, but there was nothing there.

She looked at Jinye suspiciously.

She smiled, “I thought you were in danger. After all, things haven’t been peaceful lately. So I asked Madam for the key. Don’t mind me.”

Their eyes met, and a strange atmosphere flowed in the air.

Jinye threw the slipper in her hand, lowered her head and put on her shoes, “Thank you for your concern, Miss Ning, but the security at the Warlord’s Mansion is very strict.”

In other words, no one can just walk in.

Ning Xiujun seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Let’s go downstairs and play cards. We’ll play while we wait for the Young Marshal to come back.”

Jinye thought of the Young Marshal who was still in her room a moment ago, and she twitched her lips, “Okay.”

“Ask Chen Ma to clean up and see if there are any more cockroaches.” Mrs. Wei said.

Jinye said no need, she would use the cockroach medicine herself.

Mrs. Wei was also a big card player, and she was eager to play a few rounds, so she didn’t nag anymore. She just said, “Then come down quickly.”

Jinye closed the door and looked at the window. The “big cockroach” she had just driven away, she didn’t know if it would explode with anger.

Ning Xiujun looked back at her, her gaze falling on her lips and face.

They weren’t three-year-old children, Ning Xiujun had already been with several men.

She saw that the girl’s lips were very red and a little swollen, like a rose that had been ravaged, with a kind of intoxicating beauty.

Besides, when she first entered the room, the scent of gardenia perfume was very strong. Was it trying to cover something up?

Unfortunately, she didn’t catch the man.

“Did the Young Marshal come back?”

After Ning Xiujun went downstairs, she asked the servant again.

“No.”

Ning Xiujun felt an urge to go upstairs and take a look. Just then, the phone rang. It was Adjutant Shen calling. Adjutant Shen said that the Young Marshal had gone to the Baccarat Ballroom tonight and wouldn’t be back.

“Baccarat?” Ning Xiujun asked.

Jinye’s eyelids twitched.

The Baccarat Hotel and the Baccarat Ballroom were owned by the same person, next to the Baccarat Hotel.

“This child.” Mrs. Wei said, thinking that going to the ballroom was probably an excuse, he must have gone to find a little vixen, but she couldn’t have him dragged back. She quickly pulled Ning Xiujun, “Don’t worry about him, let’s play our game.”

She was afraid that Ning Xiujun would go to the ballroom to find him.

“It’s okay.” Ning Xiujun forced a smile.

Baccarat, not Baccarat. “Is it the ballroom next to the Baccarat Hotel?” She asked again.

“It should be.” Mrs. Wei said, “Men always have a few friends. Don’t worry, he always knows his limits, he won’t do anything reckless.”

She was afraid that Ning Xiujun would go to the ballroom to find him.

“It’s okay.” Ning Xiujun forced a smile.

Baccarat, not Baccarat. “Is it the ballroom next to the Baccarat Hotel?” She asked again.

“It should be.” Mrs. Wei said, “Men always have a few friends. Don’t worry, he always knows his limits, he won’t do anything reckless.”

Jinye thought, it’s hard to say. He was in a very bad mood just now.

She realized that after he agreed to break up, she wasn’t happy at all. Maybe the gauge had reached forty meters, but because of that, it was better to end it.

If they continued, it would be an abyss.

The three women, “each with their own agenda”, only the fourth aunt, who was dragged in to make up the numbers, was wholeheartedly focused on playing cards. They played four rounds, and the fourth aunt’s family won three times. Mrs. Wei found it boring, so they dispersed.

Jinye lost a hundred silver dollars. It hurt!

Disappointment in love, and no luck at gambling. She couldn’t sleep that night, tossing and turning.

She remembered the first time she met Wei Liangchen.

Actually, that night, she wanted to ask her brother, Wei Yanting, for help.
