Chapter 525 I will not forgive you if you do not accept my apology.

This kiss was devoid of any affection, containing only punishment and plunder.

"Ugh... Let go!"

Shen Li struggled desperately, pressing her hands against his hard chest, but she couldn't budge him at all.

His kiss deepened, becoming more forceful, while his other hand reached for the zipper of her dress.

"Sizzle—"

The sound of the fabric being roughly torn was the last straw that broke her back.

The cold air touched her skin, and shame and fear overwhelmed her instantly.

Her tears rolled down her cheeks without warning, hot and sticky.

Yang Yi's movements suddenly stopped.

He looked up and saw her face covered in tears, her eyes red like a rabbit's, her lips swollen from his kisses, and her shoulders still trembling.

That broken and helpless look made Yang Yi's heart clench.

The raging fire was extinguished in an instant.

He released her, gently wiping away her tears with his fingertips, then stretched out his long arm and pulled her, blanket and all, into his embrace.

"Don't cry."

His movements were very gentle, with a touch of careful reassurance.

"sorry."

His voice was terribly hoarse.

"Lili, I won't do anything reckless."

"I...I was furious just now."

Shen Li cried even harder in his arms, her fists pounding against his chest, but they were weak and powerless.

Why did you provoke me?

Why can't you just let me go?

"Yang Yi, can't we just part ways amicably?"

She questioned him through tears, every word filled with grievance and despair.

Yang Yi tightened his grip on her arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and spoke with an unprecedented firmness.

"impossible."

"In this lifetime, you can only be my woman."

"Chen Li, I will never let you go in this lifetime."

"I won't! I won't be your woman!" she cried.

"Okay, okay, I won't, I won't." He immediately softened, awkwardly patting her back, "Don't cry, Lili, don't cry."

He coaxed her gently, his voice low and deep.

"Don't see that man again."

"I'll go crazy."

Shen Li's sobs gradually subsided, and she looked up at him with her tear-filled eyes.

"Who I meet is my freedom. Why should you interfere?"

"Yang Yi, you can like Nan Wan, but I can't like someone else?"

The man's body stiffened for a moment.

He suddenly released her, sat up, turned around, and looked at her with an extremely serious gaze.

"Chen Li, I'll say it again, I don't like Miss Nan."

“I would risk my life to protect her because she is my master and she has been kind to me. Mr. Lu misunderstood me before, which is why he transferred me away.”

Shen Li didn't believe it at all and stubbornly said something.

"Then why, when you were on the verge of death, the first person you wanted to see upon waking up was Nan Wan?"

"Yang Yi, who are you trying to fool?"

He paused.

"Because she's the boss, I have to explain everything to her."

"As for what was said, you'll find out later."

"In short, I have only respect for her and dare not overstep my bounds."

Shen Li added coldly.

"So it's true that you slept with me and then ran away?"

"You're a complete bastard."

These words made Yang Yi's heart clench, a sharp, persistent pain shooting through him.

"Lili, I'm sorry."

"I don't accept your apology, and I won't forgive you." After saying that, Shen Li pushed him away with all her might and got out of bed.

Yang Yi took two steps over and grabbed her again.

"Don't wander off, I'll take you home." He said, picking up his coat from the sofa and draping it over her shoulders.

"I don't want to stay at your house, I want to stay at a hotel," she said stubbornly.

“Okay, but I’m staying.” He replied domineeringly. Shen Li glared at him, then angrily opened the door and left.

As soon as Shen Li left the house, she sent a message to Lu Qinglin: "Cousin, Yang Yi is trying to force himself on me. Please come and save me."

Ten seconds later, Yang Yi's phone rang.

He answered, "Yes."

"No."

"good."

"Know."

Then he hung up the phone.

Yang Yi suddenly spoke up and said:

"Don't be angry. Tomorrow I'll take you to the most popular nightclub in Cannes to see male models and make you happy."

Shen Li glanced back at him but ignored him.

She cursed inwardly, "He's crazy."

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.

On the other side, after Lu Qinglin finished calling Yang Yi, he called Shen Xin as well.

He needs to know the real situation.

The two chatted for about ten minutes. After listening, Lu Qinglin had a better understanding of the situation and didn't pay any more attention to it.

Since Yang Yi survived his life-or-death ordeal last time, his attitude towards Yang Yi has not been so bad.

He was finally at peace when he learned what Yang Yi had said to Nan Wan in the ICU.

Perhaps, I've been misunderstanding him all along.

Regardless of whether he loved Nan Wan before, at that moment, Yang Yi definitely fell in love with Shen Li.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made a will with Nan Wan, leaving all his property to that girl Shen Li.

Let them do their thing first; the one who tied the knot must untie it.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Xin sent a message to Wen Youyou.

Was today's military training tiring?

Wen Youyou replied instantly.

[Not tired at all, the instructors are handsome, and everyone is full of energy.]

Shen Xin's face immediately darkened.

The message was instantly retracted on the screen.

Immediately afterwards, a new message popped up.

I'm so tired, my calves are numb. Brother, can you massage them for me?

Shen Xin's eyes flickered.

Little brat, you're quite the actress.

Fortunately, he had been watching the screen the whole time.

His fingers flew across the keyboard as he sent a warning.

[I'm telling you, don't eat the food you shouldn't eat. I've transferred 100,000 yuan to your card for food expenses; you'll have to pay for it yourself.]

Don't look if you shouldn't, or I'll deal with you.

This man can be domineering, yet he also spoils you.

Wen Youyou giggled as she looked at her phone, her heart overflowing with sweetness.

He must have seen that message.

[Brother Shen Xin, you're the most handsome, you have the biggest pecs, I like you the most. It's almost the weekend, will you come see me?]

"It depends on how you perform," he replied, sounding somewhat displeased.

Wen Youyou's video call came through immediately.

Shen Xin quickly tidied her hair and clothes before answering the call.

"Brother Shen Xin, have you missed me?"

"Hmm." He immediately regained his aloof demeanor.

"Kiss me." Wen Youyou kissed the camera, kissing it wildly.

Shen Xin's tense face finally relaxed.

He curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Are you tired? Remember to drink plenty of water and avoid heatstroke."

"Mmm, I want to sleep in my brother's arms."

As she spoke sweet words, Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat.

"Honey, I'll come see you this weekend."

The two lingered for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

Shen Xin immediately picked up her phone and booked a ticket.

Last time, he stayed at the hotel all night, coaxing her until she finally let him leave the next day.

The girl's crying broke his heart.

He longed to see her too; being separated by distance was truly unbearable...

The next day, Shen Li locked herself in her room to write, not going anywhere and not even leaving the room.

There was a knock on the door at lunchtime.

Shen Li ignored her, and the door lock clicked open.

Yang Yi, holding a tray, leaned against the door frame.

He changed into casual home clothes, which accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waistline. The aroma of the food wafted forcefully into the nostrils, making one's stomach rumble.

"Have a meal."

His voice was flat, and you couldn't tell his emotions.

"I'm not hungry, I have no inspiration, don't bother me." Shen Li's tone was impatient, as if her CPU was about to overheat.

Yang Yi walked straight in, placed the plate on the table with a crisp sound.

"I'll watch you eat."

He pulled out a chair and sat down, stretching out his long legs, instantly making the small space feel cramped.

Chen Li turned her chair around in annoyance: "What's wrong with you? I said I'm not eating!"

"Do you want me to feed you?" Yang Yi raised an eyebrow and reached out to pick up the chopsticks.

Those hands with distinct knuckles picked up a piece of tempting sweet and sour pork and held it to her lips.

His gaze was deep, fixed on her with an undeniable force.

Shen Li's face flushed red instantly.

She glared at him, but her stomach betrayed her and started growling.

The sound was exceptionally loud in the quiet room.

She snatched the chopsticks away, "I'll do it myself!"

Only after seeing her finish eating did Yang Yi leave, satisfied. This little girl is just so stubborn.

Night fell.

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Yi stood in the doorway, having changed his clothes.

The well-tailored black shirt had two buttons undone at the collar, revealing a glimpse of her collarbone. Her hair was styled, exuding a smooth forehead, and she radiated a sharp yet ascetic aura.

Shen Li was stunned for a moment. Damn it, the more she looked at that bastard, the more handsome he became.

Hmph, she doesn't care anymore.

"Change your clothes, I'll take you out to see a show," he said.

Shen Li was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Are you serious?

"Don't you want to go?" His gaze fell on her pajamas with a cartoon bear print, his expression scrutinizing her.

Shen Li felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and a surge of energy welled up inside her.

"Why not go?"

A black Maybach drove through the brightly lit streets of Cannes.

Before long, the car stopped in front of an extremely luxurious building.

The four gilded characters of "Golden Palace" shimmered in the night, exuding an air of extravagance and decadence.

This is the largest clubhouse in Kangcheng.

As soon as the car came to a stop, a manager in a suit jogged over and personally opened the car door.

"Brother Yi."

Yang Yi nodded indifferently and walked around to open the car door for Shen Li.

The moment Shen Li stepped out, she was so startled by the scene before her that she almost tripped.

A bright red carpet stretched from the entrance all the way to the floor.

Two rows of people stood neatly on either side of the carpet.

On the left was a row of bodyguards dressed in black suits, each one muscular, expressionless, and exuding an aura of authority.

On the right is a row of tall, long-legged beauties wearing cheongsams with slits up to their thighs, with exquisite makeup and standard, sweet smiles.

Yang Yi naturally took her hand.

His palms were warm, and they carried an irresistible force.

Suddenly, a loud yet respectful voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Hello, Brother Yi."

"Hello, Sister Yi."

Shen Li's brow twitched suddenly.

Sister-in-law Yi?

Who are you calling? Her?

Her brain seemed to have short-circuited.

She stiffly turned her head, looking at Yang Yi beside her who looked calm and composed, and then at the group of respectful people in front of her.

So... this is his territory?
