Chapter 31

Forceful, domineering, possessive.

He easily grasped her weakness, making her soft in his arms, unable to move, at his mercy.

Jinye was kissed until she could barely breathe.

Her chest rose and fell violently.

When the kiss ended, his breathing was also extremely unsteady, burning hot. His dark eyes looked at her, like two whirlpools in the abyss, drawing her in, “Take that box of money back, redeem the bracelet I gave you, and I’ll pretend that you never said those words. Don’t worry about your aunt’s medical expenses and your guards. I’ll get the shop back for you, I can even give you two more.”

Jinye trembled, instantly sobering up.

Then what? Continue to live in fear as his secret lover?

A lover needs love. He’s just lusting after her body, he hasn’t gotten bored yet, this bastard.

The day before, he was in the office with Ning Xiujun—

Seeing him about to kiss her again, Jinye didn’t think twice and slapped him. “Slap!” It wasn’t very loud, but the whole space fell silent.

This was the first time she hit him. After she hit him, not only him, but Jinye was also stunned.

Oh my god, what did she do?

She felt like tomorrow would be her death anniversary.

Deputy Shen’s hand holding the steering wheel also trembled, and the car almost hit the railing. Luckily, he steadied it.

Holy crap!

Third Miss hit the Young Marshal!

Not to mention her own life, the life of this witness was also in danger.

Their eyes met. Jinye dared to say that at this moment, he wanted to tear her apart. She was terrified for a while, but then she saw Wei Liangchen puffing out his cheeks, his eyes dark, his lips curled into a half-smile, “Xu Jinye, do you really think I can’t live without you?”

“I—” Jinye swallowed, “You clearly promised that night.”

If she didn’t mention that night, she wouldn’t be so angry, “Do you know how I spent that night?”

“You went to the dance hall, you were having a great time. You also admitted you can’t live without me, then go find someone else.” She was also angry.

Wei Liangchen’s eyes were like a brewing storm. Of course, he couldn’t take back what he said, “So, you’ve really decided?”

His lips were red and swollen from his kiss, her eyes were watery, her full chest was heaving, clearly weak like a little rabbit, but she was still so stubborn.

“I’ll give you one last chance.” He stared at her intently.

Jinye turned her head away, calming her racing heart, “I want to be like Jiaqi and Jiaxin, your sister.”

After a while, she heard a “Heh.”

And the sound of grinding teeth.

“Fine. I’ve already given you a chance, and you didn’t want it. Even if you beg me later, I won’t give it to you.” He was so angry that he felt it wasn’t enough, so he added, “Whoever goes back on their word is a pig!”

Jinye’s heart trembled again.

Wei Liangchen left her with harsh words and also left her behind, throwing her out of the car again.

This was the second time!

Fortunately, after a while, Jiaxin’s car came back to pick her up.

“Third Sister, are you okay? Second Brother’s car passed by just now, and he called out to Old Zhang. I saw his face, I was scared to death. What did you offend him this time?”

Jinye came back to her senses, her legs went weak, and she almost couldn’t stand, “I offended him badly.”

Suddenly, she felt like, who am I, where am I, what did I do?

Oh my god, she actually survived that terrifying moment.

How did she survive?

It was a mystery.

In the car that was driving away.

Deputy Shen glanced at the rearview mirror: I’m scared to death!

Just now, he thought at least one of them would die. Thank goodness.

However, the Young Marshal was pretty ruthless this time. He even swore that whoever goes back on their word is a pig.

On the way back, the Young Marshal kept touching his face.

He only said, “I’m so old, and no one has ever slapped me.”

He didn’t say another word.

Strangely, a silent, awkward atmosphere filled the car.

After Jinye returned to the Governor’s Mansion, she didn’t see Wei Liangchen’s car.

He wasn’t there for dinner either.

When Mrs. Wei asked, Li Ma said he went to the Ballroom again, to drink with Qi Yuan, the son of Assistant Commissioner Qi.

In Mrs. Wei’s ears, he went to find that little vixen again, and he even used Qi Yuan as a shield.

Finally, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did you see if there was a woman with the Young Marshal?”

Jiaqi blurted out, “Isn’t it Miss Ning? I heard her say this afternoon that she’s going to the movies with her brother tomorrow night. The latest one, ‘Spring in the Small Building’.”

The fruit fork in Jinye’s hand fell onto the plate. Mrs. Wei and Governor Wei both looked over. She quickly said, “Yes, I saw Miss Ning in Second Brother’s office yesterday. They were very close.”

Suddenly, she felt like she couldn’t eat the kiwi fruit in front of her.

She wanted to wash her mouth.

No, she wanted to wash her whole body.

Governor Wei looked at Mrs. Wei, “What are you suspicious of?”

Governor Wei was at the hospital today, accompanying Xu Xiaoyun. He read poetry to her for a long time. Mrs. Wei smiled, “I think it’s not just Miss Ning. Like father, like son, just like you.”

Meaning: He has many women, he’s a philanderer.

Governor Wei was a little unhappy, but he wouldn’t directly humiliate Mrs. Wei in front of the children, “I’ll give Liangchen some advice, let him learn from his brother.”

Mrs. Wei almost threw the chopsticks in her hand.

Governor Wei won this round, and he smiled happily, “Jinye, eat more. I heard that Young Master Zhou will come to pick you up for school tomorrow. He’s a good guy, take good care of him.”

Mrs. Wei: “He’s good, but his ship is even better.”

Jinye: “…”

The couple exchanged barbs, playing with invisible darts. Jinye and Jiaqi were very wise and kept silent.

Jinye reviewed until eleven o’clock. She was about to wash up and go to bed when the phone rang.

It was so late, it could only be an internal line. She didn’t want to answer, but it rang again. It seemed like it wouldn’t stop until she answered. Jinye had no choice but to pick it up.

There was only breathing on the other end of the line. She could smell the alcohol through the phone.

After two or three seconds, a slightly deep, low voice finally came through, “Do I have a pair of boots in your room?”

He was quite impatient, “Bring them up!”

“I threw them away.” Jinye said.

She could almost hear the sound of grinding teeth, “You dare, those were made of the best calfskin, they’re very expensive.”

“I threw them away, that’s it. You don’t only have one pair.”

“Where did you throw them? Go find them.”

Jinye didn’t want to deal with him, so she hung up the phone. But it rang again, “Tell me where you threw them, I’ll find them myself.”

Jinye rolled her eyes at the phone, suppressing the anger rising in her chest, “I can’t find them. I threw them away on the road. They’ve been swept away by now!”

There was silence on the other end for a while, his breathing was unsteady, almost a roar, “Then you pay me for a new pair!”

“Okay, I’ll pay.” Jinye didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

She would just send him a new pair tomorrow when he wasn’t around.

“I want an exact replica, a new one, or I won’t let you off the hook.”

Jinye “slap”ed the phone and hung up.

She sat on the bed for a while, thankfully, the phone didn’t ring again, and there was no noise around. Jinye finally let out a sigh of relief and went to take a bath.

Before taking a bath, she closed the window tightly.
