Chapter 130 Only I'm a Duck

Looking at Ruan Yi's resolute yet almost indifferent eyes, Gu Zhi's heart sank, and he belatedly began to regret his actions.

Just now, Pei Lian led me astray, and we argued about such a ridiculous topic.

Now, the person who came to save her is now categorized as a pervert along with Pei Lian.

Gu Zhi was about to offer a rebuttal when Pei Lian, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, his tone as calm as if he were talking about something completely ordinary.

"You'll know once you try."

"How do we try it?" Ruan Yi frowned, her tone full of bewilderment.

"I'll kill myself and then lie down in front of Fu Jingchen, let's see if he'll finish me off?"

The girl's voice unconsciously rose, and the sarcasm in her words almost overflowed.

Pei Lian met Ruan Yi's gaze, his tone remaining calm, but he offered a more specific suggestion.

“Fu Jingchen hurt you because he couldn’t stand the presence of other men around you, so let’s try it with men.”

As soon as he said those words, alarm bells immediately went off in Ruan Yi's mind.

This is an absolutely terrible idea.

Fu Jingchen's face flashed uncontrollably through her mind. In fact, she knew that Fu Jingchen had already guessed that she might have been involved with someone else the day he came home, but he didn't know it was Gu Zhi.

As her boyfriend, Fu Jingchen didn't dare to delve deeper or expose her.

If Fu Jingchen really knew that she had a relationship with Gu Zhi, he would be angry, unable to bear it, and even propose to break up. She could understand all of this and felt it was reasonable.

But... would I really kill her because of this?

That would be a horror movie that's going to be featured on legal news.

But Fu Jingchen is not an extreme person at all; he would never go to such lengths.

Ruan Yi glanced at Pei Lian with disdain, her eyes full of contempt for someone who was crazy, and her tone was utterly impolite.

"Why would I do that? I don't have another man, why would I fabricate one to provoke my boyfriend?"

"You're the one with the problem, but I'm not."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Zhi became anxious and tightened his grip on her waist, refusing to let go.

"Am I not my sister's man?"

"Get lost! I haven't even had a chance to settle the score with you for sleeping with me, and you still have the nerve to talk? You're nothing but a gigolo!"

Gu Zhi was speechless after being rebuked, and Pei Lian, seeing Ruan Yi's unyielding attitude, remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

They threw out a name that caught Ruan Yi off guard.

"What about Fu Wang, does he count?"

Pei Lian's tone was somewhat probing as he revealed what he knew, including even more astonishing information.

"As far as I know, he was 'accidentally' in a car accident when he left the Ruan family. He risked his life to take Seren's place and oppose NovaVoy for you. So... is he a gigolo or your man?"

"Also, while you were still in the hospital getting checked out, the Anderson family spread rumors that Seren already had a lover, an Asian woman."

"They flatly rejected all the clans that tried to arrange marriages, but not many people were willing to accept this woman who suddenly appeared."

Pei Lian's gaze was fixed on Ruan Yi.

Why did Fu Wang rush to spread such news without considering the consequences? What did you say to him that made him do this in such a hurry?

Ruan Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and the composure on her face vanished instantly.

Just because she posted a picture out of the blue to scare him, Fu Wang actually took on this responsibility to this extent...

"Pei Lian, have you been spying on me all this time?"

Pei Lian did not rush to answer. His gaze first swept over Ruan Yi, and then fell on Gu Zhi beside her.

Gu Zhi had his arms wrapped around her waist, holding her tightly in his arms. Pei Lian's gaze was fixed precisely on Ruan Yi's hands around her waist, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

He looked at Gu Zhi, his eyes filled with almost blatant provocation, mixed with a touch of laughable sympathy.

"So Fu Wang isn't a male prostitute, right?"

Pei Lian's tone was deliberately nonchalant.

Ruan Yi felt as if a wad of cotton was stuck in her throat.

She couldn't refute it, after all, it was a fact that she had agreed to be Fu Wang's girlfriend, and she still hadn't figured out how to sort out the relationship between Fu Wang and her current boyfriend, Fu Jingchen.

Fu Wang would never budge. In order not to acknowledge Fu Jingchen's identity, he even regarded himself, who had received the promise earlier, as a mistress who had come between Shen Xun and Fu Jingchen.

In her confused state, all she could do was yell back, albeit with a hint of embarrassment and anger.

Why are you bringing up Fu Wang? What's it to you?

"Are you trying to threaten me? So what if Fu Wang is my man? Fu Jingchen knows about this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Yi suddenly froze.

It wasn't for any other reason than that Gu Zhi, who was wrapped around her waist, suddenly became heavy-breathed, and the hand that was originally around her slowly tightened, so much so that she could hardly breathe.

The feigned weakness on Gu Zhi's face vanished completely, leaving only the eerie calm before the storm.

His tone was calm, but his chest was heaving violently against her back, and even the unhealed wounds on his body seemed to be burning.

He was clearly in an abnormal state, but he was still trying to remain calm, keeping his voice very low.

"My sister admits to having other men, but only calls me a gigolo, is that right?"

"Your sister is willing to accept other people even though she has a boyfriend, but she's unwilling to accept me, right?"

Ruan Yi gasped sharply, glancing out of the corner of her eye at Pei Lian's slightly curved lips.

She understood instantly.

Pei Lian didn't care who was around her at all. He wasn't asking her to admit anything; he was deliberately trying to provoke Gu Zhi.

He was forcing Gu Zhi to lose control so that he could use Gu Zhi's madness to force her to break up with Fu Jingchen.

She was now even more certain that there was a reason why Fu Jingchen wanted to kill her in her past life.

Pei Lian was very skilled at using others to do his dirty work.

And now, he has clearly succeeded.

Gu Zhi did not miss Ruan Yi's gaze as she looked at Pei Lian, the darkness in her eyes deepening.

He grabbed the girl's soft, white cheek and forced her to turn to face him, the pressure from his fingertips making her wince.

"Still looking at other people? Anyone can be my sister's man, but I'm the only gigolo, right?"

"Calm down, Gu Zhi!" Ruan Yi hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Gu Zhi was already deaf to any words.

She was wearing Gu Zhi's oversized top, which barely covered her upper thighs and didn't even cover her buttocks.

The next second, that large hand reached directly under the hem of her clothes.

Ruan Yi panicked instantly, raising her hand to pat his chest to stop him, but then hesitated because of the numerous injuries on his body.

The out-of-control man was incredibly strong; even though she grabbed his uninjured arm and tried to pry his hand off, she couldn't.

Ruan Yi felt a tightness in her heart. Gu Zhi was now convinced that she could give her feelings to everyone but not to him. If this continued, something terrible would happen.

She hurriedly turned to look at the culprit, Pei Lian, her eyes filled with anger and panic.

Pei Lian narrowed his eyes playfully, raised an eyebrow, and his eyes clearly said, "Beg me, and I can help you."

"Is my sister still... watching others?"

Gu Zhi's voice was even deeper, and he tightened his grip on her cheek.

"My sister has many men? But I'm not one of them, is that right..."

He paused, his tone suddenly becoming ambiguous and dangerous, carrying a threat that could seep into one's bones.

"Okay, sister, you don't need to worry about breaking up anymore, and you don't need to care about anyone else."

"I, this duck, have plenty of ways to make my sister think only of me from now on..."

Pei Lian, who was standing to the side, suddenly picked up the syringe containing liquid medicine that he had prepared for the girl earlier, pinched the needle between his fingertips, and gently tapped it on the operating table next to him.

The two "tap-tap" sounds were particularly jarring in the tense air.

Pei Lian's tone was full of mockery. He seemed to be speaking to Gu Zhi, but his eyes were fixed on Ruan Yi, as if he was waiting for a scene where the girl would take the initiative to ask for help.

"A method like this?"

"Pei Lian!" Ruan Yi was so angry she almost shouted it out.

Pei Lian was simply adding fuel to the fire, trying to provoke Gu Zhi even more.

Looking at the girl in his arms, he subconsciously turned to look at Pei Lian, but the moment that glance landed, the man's jealousy exploded completely.

He abruptly turned Ruan Yi's face back, his hot breath instantly covering her ear, and the next second, his teeth gently bit her earlobe.

It wasn't a vicious bite, but a predatory lick and bite; the scalding touch mixed with a dangerous aura made Ruan Yi's whole body go numb.

"Does your sister like calling other men's names?"

Gu Zhi's voice was unusually low and husky as his tongue brushed against her earlobe, "But you only call me duck, hmm?"

He chuckled softly, a laugh devoid of warmth, filled only with chilling self-mockery.

"It's alright, I'll make sure my sister can't call out any other man's name anymore, she'll only..."

"Call out, bed."

Ruan Yi's eyes widened instantly.

Gu Zhi has gone mad, absolutely mad.

The man sneered, his gaze finally turning to Pei Lian, his eyes sweeping over the syringe with disdain.

"Your medicine is too bad, I don't need it."

After he finished speaking, he looked down at the female lead again, his tone suddenly becoming gentle, but that gentleness concealed an even more terrifying emotion.

“I have something better that will make my sister comfortable and worry-free in the future.”

He paused, his fingertips gently caressing the girl's delicate skin, speaking each word with utmost seriousness, as if making a promise.

"I won't hurt my sister. If she doesn't want children, I'll get a tubal ligation."

"That way I can keep feeding my sister without worrying about kids disturbing our time together, right?"

Ruan Yi felt as if her blood had frozen.

She understood that Gu Zhi had already been provoked to the point of losing his temper.

The man no longer even thought about marriage and having children; at this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

It made her unable to think of any other man.

Ruan Yi felt a chill run down her spine. If this continued, either she would be completely trapped by Gu Zhi, or the situation would spiral out of control.

Even if we ask Pei Lian for help now, it will only embolden Gu Zhi. In the end, if we want to get out of this house, someone will have to die.

She gritted her teeth and decided to go for it.

Ruan Yi steadied her breathing, looked up and stared directly into Gu Zhi's eyes, her voice trembling but each word clear.

"Stop! Don't say those things anymore!"

Gu Zhitan's hand, which was touching her soft skin, suddenly paused. He stopped licking and biting her earlobe and stared at her intently, as if he wanted to devour her.

Ruan Yi met his gaze, took a deep breath, and used almost all her strength.

"You are not a duck."

She paused, her fingertips turning white from the pressure.

"You are...you are my man! You are my first man..."

"Is that enough? Stop saying things like that!"
