Chapter 9: A Kiss, a Bite, and a Fall

Their bodies were incredibly close. Qiu Yixun lowered his gaze, his eyes fixed on the girl trapped in his arms.

Her eyes, clear and clean, burned with a fiery intensity. Her skin, smooth and delicate, was flushed with a rosy hue. Her crimson lips were stubbornly pressed together.

She was fragile yet resilient, arousing an urge to dominate and possess her.

Qiu Yixun stroked her chin, too lazy to waste words. He lowered his head and kissed her.

He had wanted to do this from the moment he saw her at the Zhuang family’s home.

The pretense of being a gentleman was simply too exhausting.

“Ugh…” Zhuang Jianxi hadn’t expected to be kissed forcefully. Her eyes widened, and she began to struggle violently.

However, her strength was no match for his. Qiu Yixun held her steady with one hand, aggressively claiming her lips, savoring the taste of her.

The intensity of their lips entwined, the metallic scent of blood spreading in their mouths. Qiu Yixun，satisfied with a brief taste, lifted his head. His lips were bitten, leaving a mark.

Zhuang Jianxi’s lips were unusually red. She gasped for breath, her cheeks flushed with shame and anger. She raised her hand and slapped him hard.

Her voice was filled with anger and humiliation, “You bastard! You’re a pervert!”

Qiu Yixun’s cheek was knocked to the side, but he quickly turned back.

She was naturally frail, and the force of her slap was more like a caress. It didn’t even leave a mark, instead, it only excited him.

His gaze was deep, his eyes revealing an unmasked desire and obsession.

Faced with this predatory gaze, a flicker of fear finally arose in Zhuang Jianxi’s heart. She pressed her body against the car door, her hands pushing against his chest, attempting to push him away.

Qiu Yixun lowered his gaze, using his fingertip to wipe away the blood from the corner of his bitten lip. He smirked, “You’re the first person who dares to hit me, to call me names.”

Zhuang Jianxi pushed him with all her might, but the man’s body remained unyielding like a mountain. She once again experienced the vast gap between their strength and physique.

Although she was terrified, her anger and disgust at being violated overwhelmed her. The pampered and respected little princess of the Zhuang family, when had she ever been treated like this?

She glared at him stubbornly, her voice firm, “I’ll also be the first to cripple you!”

Zhuang Jianxi was filled with anxiety. If this man dared to force himself on her, she would kick him in the groin.

Qiu Yixun met her gaze steadily.

The girl’s cheeks were flushed, her kissed lips were lusciously red. Although he held her captive, her entire being, body and soul, screamed that she was not his.

Qiu Yixun disliked this feeling of being out of control. He scoffed, “Only if you have the ability.”

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, his voice becoming extremely seductive and gentle, “But before that, your husband will love you dearly…”

The car entered the Tengjingshan Villa district, slowly winding its way up the mountain road. The driver, understanding the situation, had raised the partition between the front and back seats.

The man’s hot breath fell on her neck, sending shivers down Zhuang Jianxi’s spine. She gasped, her breathing quickened, and somehow, she found the strength to push him away.

Staying with this beast any longer, she might be devoured whole!

Her pent-up frustration and disgust almost overwhelmed her rationality. Zhuang Jianxi impulsively reached for the car door handle, “Stop! I want to get out!”

Whether the driver had forgotten to lock the door or she had accidentally pressed the right button, the door swung open.

Then, to Qiu Yixun’s shock, Zhuang Jianxi, who was already very close to the door, lost her balance and tumbled out.

Qiu Yixun immediately leaned forward to grab her, but he only managed to catch a corner of her clothes.

He turned his head and roared, “Stop!”

The driver was startled and slammed on the brakes.

Qiu Yixun quickly pushed open the car door and ran towards Zhuang Jianxi.

Zhuang Jianxi, thrown from the car by inertia, rolled a few times on the asphalt road before stopping, dizzy and disoriented. Her palms and knees were burning with pain.

Fortunately, the car had slowed down as it entered the Tengjingshan area, and she didn’t fall too hard. She was just a little disheveled.

Before she could get up, a pair of strong hands grabbed her under her armpits and lifted her up. She was like a child, falling into a solid and warm embrace.

“What happened? Where did you get hurt?” Qiu Yixun frowned as he held her, his face serious as he carefully examined her for injuries.

The pampered little princess had such fair skin, and the palms of her hands were just a little scraped, but they looked red and swollen, particularly alarming.

A flicker of concern crossed Qiu Yixun’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “Zhuang Jianxi, if you ever dare to do something so dangerous again, your family will be finished!”

Zhuang Jianxi turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.

She didn’t care if the Zhuang family was finished. She had already been sold once and would not be sold again.

But his tone made her suspicious.

Although the Zhuang Group had been declining in recent years, it had always been steadily developing, and then suddenly fell into crisis in the first half of the year. She couldn’t help but wonder if someone had deliberately done this.

If Qiu Yixun had done it, then used this opportunity to take advantage of the situation… then this man was simply despicable, disgusting, and wicked.

Zhuang Jianxi’s face was ugly, and her eyes flickered.

Qiu Yixun didn’t notice the change in the expression of the person in his arms. He carried her, not even getting in the car, and walked towards the villa entrance not far away.

As soon as they entered, he ordered the servants to bring a medical kit and asked the butler to call the family doctor.

He didn’t know if she had internal injuries, so it was better to have a professional doctor check her to be safe.

On the sofa.

“Hiss…..” The sting of the iodine made her hand flinch.

Qiu Yixun held a cotton swab in his hand, glanced at her, then lowered his eyes and continued, but his strength was much lighter.

Zhuang Jianxi remained expressionless as he worked on her, and after her impulsive actions, her sanity returned. She was a little dazed and lost in thought.

For a moment, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet.

Her peripheral vision began to subtly examine the man in front of her.

Qiu Yixun’s usually impeccable hairstyle was now a little messy, with a few strands of hair falling on his full forehead. His brows were thick and long, his features handsome and clear, and every contour line was just right.

As he lowered his head to work intently, the deep eyes reflected a sense of focus and calmness, and his whole body exuded an indescribable charm.

It had to be said that this man’s exterior, whether in terms of wealth or appearance, was top-notch.

As if sensing her gaze, Qiu Yixun suddenly raised his eyes and met hers.

Zhuang Jianxi quickly looked away and cursed, “You’re a hypocrite.”

“……”

Even helping to treat her wound, he was still being scolded. Qiu Yixun didn’t argue with her.

He had just impulsively kissed her, leading to the consequences of a rabbit biting in a hurry and a dog jumping over a wall in a hurry. He felt a little guilty.

After all, the pain was on her body, but it hurt in his heart.
