Chapter 19 Leaving Jiang Kexin with No Way Out

He lifted his head slightly from the crook of her neck, his eyes gazing dreamily at the wall, and then his tone became somewhat gentle, as if he were coaxing a tantrum-throwing child.

"From now on... no matter what day it is, you can come over anytime you want... I... can give it to you."

This nonsensical answer made Gu Xingnian's heart sink completely.

He's not thinking straight at all!

Taking advantage of his momentary lapse in attention, Gu Xingnian suddenly turned around and bit down hard on his shoulder!

She used tremendous force and almost immediately tasted the blood.

Fu Beichen groaned, but instead of being angry, he laughed, a laugh tinged with a morbid excitement.

"Heh... Madam, are you looking for something new?"

The pain seemed to stimulate him, making him even more excited.

He moved closer to her again, holding her tightly in his arms with one hand, and lifting her chin with the other, about to kiss her again.

"Fu Beichen! No!" Gu Xingnian cried out in a hoarse voice, tears streaming down her face, her final plea for help escaping her lips.

"I'm sick! Please... don't touch me."

Fu Beichen paused again.

He looked down at her tearful face, a hint of struggle and hesitation flashing in his eyes.

His calloused fingertips caressed her soft red lips with a strange tenderness.

In the past, he would have already pounced on him.

But at this moment, looking into her stunningly beautiful, icy eyes, he... hesitated.

His voice was terribly hoarse, “Then… help me in another way.”

At this critical moment!

"Knock knock knock!"

A clear knock sounded, accompanied by a familiar yet anxious voice.

"Niannian! Are you inside? Are you alright?"

It was Lu Lie!

He heard Lu Lie's voice outside the door.

The madness in Fu Beichen's eyes did not diminish but increased, and even a hint of violent excitement flashed across his face.

It was as if his prey was about to be stolen, which aroused his even stronger possessiveness.

"Let me out!" Gu Xingnian said in a low voice, her voice trembling with tears and pleading.

Fu Beichen, however, was like a beast that had been provoked, and he lowered his head to kiss her again.

He wanted to make a scene so that those outside would become aware of him and retreat.

"Mmm mmm mmm."

Lu Lie outside the door had obviously heard the commotion inside. His voice became more urgent, and he even seemed about to bang on the door.

"Niannian! Answer me! Fu Beichen, you dare to touch her and see what happens!"

A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Xingnian's chaotic mind. She subconsciously raised her hand and touched the necklace she always wore around her neck, a large blue gemstone.

She gently rotated the sapphire with her fingers, and a very faint, almost imperceptible, special fragrance wafted out from the sapphire.

Fu Beichen was burying his face in her neck when he unexpectedly inhaled a few wisps of fragrance.

His movements froze, and the crimson and madness in his eyes faded at a visible speed, replaced by a blank and drowsy look.

The next second, his tall body went limp, and he completely lost consciousness!

He collapsed heavily onto Gu Xingnian.

Gu Xingnian helped him to the bed, then hurriedly tidied her disheveled clothes and hair.

She took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her wildly beating heart and trembling body.

Then, she walked to the door and opened the hatch.

Outside the door, Lu Lie looked anxious, his forehead covered in sweat, and his hand was still in the position of banging on the door.

When Lu Lie saw Gu Xingnian's disheveled appearance, red-rimmed eyes, and slightly swollen lips, his face instantly darkened, and a fierce rage ignited in his eyes.

He roughly guessed what had just happened inside.

"Fu Beichen!" Lu Lie roared, stepping past Gu Xingnian and rushing in to beat that bastard who dared to hurt her to a pulp!

"No!" Gu Xingnian grabbed him, her voice still a little hoarse, carrying the exhaustion of surviving a disaster.

"I'm fine, please help me off the ship."

All she wanted to do was leave this suffocating place immediately.

Looking at her pale face and her forced composure, Lu Lie felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

He suppressed his anger, took off his suit jacket, and gently draped it over her shoulders, covering the red marks on her fair skin.

Then, he took her hand.

"Okay, let's go."

Night had fallen, but the fireworks over the sea were still burning brilliantly. Gu Xingnian and Lu Lie had already boarded the yacht for their return journey.

She bravely looked up at the beauty of the sky, but her eyes welled up with tears!

A heart, bleeding profusely, gasped for breath.

That year, she was only 10 years old. She was put into a wooden box and floated down the river.

The river water slowly flowed in, wetting her clothes. It was dark, and she was very cold.

She cried out for help in terror and despair!

That day was New Year's Eve, and through the gaps in the box, she saw beautiful fireworks lighting up the sky.

That fireworks display became a pain etched into her very bones.

But he used it to reward the world!

......

It was nearly midnight when Gu Xingnian dragged her tired body back to her apartment.

She soaked herself in the bathtub, her eyes closed, but she couldn't shake off the deep-seated weariness.

The ambiguous red mark on her fair neck was particularly glaring.

It was left behind by Fu Beichen.

His words kept echoing in her mind: "I've never slept with Jiang Kexin."

She couldn't understand why he was so infatuated with her and so protective of her.

Suddenly, she remembered that white figure again, his cold gaze and his bloodied left hand.

My mind is a mess, like a wad of damp cotton stuffed inside, heavy and impossible to sort out.

never mind!

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of those jumbled thoughts.

She quickly finished washing and climbed into the soft bed.

The night was deep.

Just as Gu Xingnian drifted off to sleep, the internet in Haicheng exploded.

[Shocking news! Pure and innocent actress Jiang Kexin is suspected of being involved in the affair of the second son of the Gu family!]

[The eldest daughter of the Sheng family exposes the mistress? Video of Jiang Kexin being beaten in public has been leaked!]

[Jiang Kexin's public image collapses as past scandals are exposed!]

Countless media accounts, like sharks smelling blood, frantically reposted the news with pictures and text.

In the photo, Jiang Kexin and Gu Shaoheng are seen struggling in a dimly lit corner, the angle of which is intriguing and leaves much to the imagination.

The video of Sheng Weiwei taking action was in high definition and uncensored.

In the scene, Sheng Weiwei was furious, slapping Jiang Kexin hard and making her see stars. She covered her face and cried with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful but also utterly pathetic.

The onlookers were thoroughly enjoying themselves!

Jiang Kexin's team has tried to quickly manage the situation and remove the trending topic, but they have found that there is no way to do so.

On Fu Beichen's end, his phone rang repeatedly but no one answered, as if it had sunk into the sea.

Given the power and influence of the Sheng and Gu families, who would dare to offend these two powerful figures at this critical juncture for the sake of a female celebrity with an uncertain future?

As a result, the news spread like wildfire, continuing to escalate.

Three related trending topics remained firmly at the top of the list, followed by a bright red "hot" sign, easily surpassing ten million in discussion volume.

Jiang Kexin was completely dumbfounded.

She hid in her apartment, staring at the vicious comments and constant termination notices on her phone screen, feeling icy cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

No, she can't fall!

She wanted to make Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian pay a heavy price...
