Shen Yuchen's face had turned a terrifying pale white at some point.

Her body, which had been injured by the cartilage powder, had not fully recovered, and coupled with Feng Ming's reckless driving speed, she was finding it difficult to keep up.

As soon as the car stopped, Shen Yuchen frantically pounded on the car window, wanting to get out.

Feng Ming remained silent, but almost simultaneously unlocked the car and then got out first, seemingly to cover his tracks.

Shen Yuchen hurriedly pushed open the door, but instead of getting out of the car, she changed direction and sat in the back seat with her legs dangling in the air. Her pale face leaned weakly against the door frame as she breathed in the fresh air through her nose.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yuchen's breathing gradually returned to normal, and the frightening paleness on her face faded somewhat, replaced by a reassuring rosy glow.

Seeing this, Feng Ming, who was standing not far away, lowered his eyes slightly, and the tension in his dark eyes was suddenly hidden.

In just a few moments, a thin layer of frost, exuding a chill, appeared on his stern brows.

His expression remained calm and composed, as if he hadn't been the one who had just been speeding recklessly.

Shen Yuchen looked around a few times, then got out of the car while holding onto the door.

He glanced at Feng Ming, then gave a faint, mocking smile before turning and leaving without looking back.

Feng Ming took in the mocking smile on her lips, and for the first time, a hint of surprise appeared in his deep, dark eyes.

Looking at her slightly frail yet resolute back, my heart skipped a beat. I had a feeling that this time she would never come back!

Before he could think any further, his legs were driven uncontrollably, and he strode after them.

Suddenly grabbing the girl's thin, bony arm, Feng Ming asked coldly, "Where are you going?"

Shen Yuchen was suddenly pulled and staggered, her body unsteady.

Looking down at the large hand gripping her wrist, its temperature burning hot, she asked, "What gives you the right to question me so matter-of-factly?"

Feng Ming tightened his grip on her wrist even more.

Her icy voice carried a chilling undertone, "Why do you want to break up?"

Shen Yuchen gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Feng Ming... being alone gets tiring. This silent way of getting along is almost suffocating me. What's the point of not breaking up? Do you want to drive me crazy like this?"

Feng Ming's eyes narrowed, and with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly for the first time ever, so tightly that Shen Yuchen could hardly breathe.

The man used this silent, domineering way to tell her: No.

She did not resist, but stayed tightly in the man's arms, her tone as light as the wind, yet unexpectedly carrying a deep-seated strength and determination, "Do you think... you have the ability to change the decision I've made?"

Just like her incredibly strong character over the years.

Feng Ming knew perfectly well what was going on.

The man trembled and hugged her even tighter.

"I..."

The man, who was usually unfazed by anything, sounded flustered for the first time.

Shen Yuchen let him hold her for a long time before chuckling softly, "Let go, I'm leaving. I called you here today... or rather, as long as you come, the debt of gratitude I owe you for saving your life will be wiped clean. From now on, you won't feel like you owe me anything anymore. That's it... Feng Ming, we're even!"

Feng Ming tensed up instantly, even his domineering arm gripping the girl's slender waist stiffened, unsure how to react.

The next instant, a few terrifying crimson streaks suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He suddenly bent down, hoisted the girl onto his shoulder, and strode towards the villa.

"ah!"

The sudden dizziness caused Shen Yuchen to instinctively gasp in surprise.
