Chapter 140: I seduced her.

Fu Jingchen had just finished speaking his seductive words in a low voice.

Ruan Yi was so angry that she bit him hard on his smooth collarbone.

"Hiss..." The man let out a soft sound from his throat, but he didn't even frown. Instead, he chuckled.

The girl's sharp teeth clearly carried annoyance, but he only felt that she was like a kitten angry because its owner was petting it too hard, and even the reddened corners of her eyes seemed particularly alluring.

A truly frightened kitten would run far away from a bad person, not bite him softly like Ruan Yi did.

"Is Xiaoyi... seducing me? Then let's keep going until Xiaoyi is too tired to move."

Just as the man was about to continue their intimacy, a loud "bang" suddenly came from the suite door. It was a real impact that made the walls tremble.

Fu Jingchen's eyes darkened instantly. Although reluctant, he almost immediately stood up, grabbed a bathrobe hanging to the side, and bent down to wrap it around Ruan Yi, who hadn't yet reacted.

He moved quickly and gently, wrapping the soft blanket around her several times. After making sure the girl was comfortable, he turned around and quickly put on his bathrobe.

The banging outside the door grew increasingly violent, the force astonishing, as if a ferocious beast with superhuman strength stood outside, determined to break down the heavy hotel room door.

Fu Jingchen looked down at Ruan Yi, who was frozen on the bed, and said in a very soft voice, "Xiao Yi, who do you think disturbed us?"

Ruan Yi felt inexplicably guilty and was about to speak when she heard Fu Jingchen answer his own question.

Is it Gu Zhi?

"It can't be him, can it?" Ruan Yi's tone was somewhat uncertain, but she really didn't think that the person breaking down the door was Gu Zhi.

Although Gu Zhi clung to her like a ghost, ever since she had been ruthless last time, his attitude had become incredibly humble, and he had promised not to ask for any emotional reciprocation.

Even if Gu Zhi wanted to prevent her relationship with Fu Jingchen from progressing further, he would only cry and act pitiful.

But the commotion outside the door wasn't just a tantrum; it sounded like someone was about to rush in and kill someone.

Fu Jingchen raised his hand and gently patted the top of her head, his voice still calm and reassuring: "I'll go take a look."

Before he could finish speaking, another loud crash came from outside the door, accompanied by the sound of the door panel cracking.

As soon as Fu Jingchen stepped out of the bedroom door, before his feet even touched the living room carpet, a loud "boom" came from the entrance hall.

The heavy solid wood door was completely smashed open, and amidst flying wood chips, a tall figure rushed in like a whirlwind.

The newcomer had bloodshot eyes, bulging veins on his forehead, and an aura of ferocity that was almost bloodthirsty.

Fu Jingchen abruptly stopped in his tracks, his pupils contracted sharply, and the calmness on his face froze instantly.

The person who came was not Gu Zhi.

He is a man who has more right than anyone else to enter the places Ruan Yi can reach.

"Where is Ruan Yi!?"

The man's voice was hoarse. He didn't question why they were at a hotel, nor did he seem to notice Fu Jingchen's loose bathrobe. The worry surging in his voice even overshadowed the visible anger.

Before Fu Jingchen could speak, the other person's gaze was fixed on his reddened collarbone, where Ruan Yi's teeth marks were clearly visible.

The next second, the crimson in the man's eyes burned even brighter, as if he were about to breathe fire. He shoved Fu Jingchen away violently, the force so great that Fu Jingchen stumbled back several steps. Then he rushed straight into the bedroom.

Ruan Yi was struggling against the blanket that was wrapped tightly around her several times, her face flushed red, as she tried her best to climb out.

The loose bathrobe slipped down to her shoulders, and faint pink marks from their earlier intimacy still lingered on her snow-white chest, particularly noticeable under the light.

The person who came stood at the bedroom door, staring intently at her.

The man clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his teeth almost grinding to powder, and the name he squeezed out of his throat was filled with overwhelming anger, each word weighing a ton of weight.

"I...I want to!"

Ruan Yi looked up abruptly, and the moment she saw the face clearly, she was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped. Goosebumps rose all over her body, and even her little hairs stood on end.

"Chen... Chen Xun... how did you end up here?"

Oh no, I've really been caught in the act now. And of all times, it had to be my fiancé, with whom I haven't broken off our engagement, who showed up.

As soon as he called Shen Xun's name, Fu Jingchen followed him into the bedroom. He reached out to protect Ruan Yi behind him, but Ruan Yi was already petrified.

At this moment, the veins on his thick forehead bulged, his chest heaved violently, his white shirt was stretched taut, and the muscles on his arms bulged out hard.

It was obvious that when she wasn't replying to messages, Chen Xun was venting her emotions at the gym and boxing ring, aside from work.

Every time I argued with Shen Xun in high school, he would spend a long time at the gym and boxing ring.

Oh no... This is really going to be a fatality. Shen Xun is not a normal human being at all!

Ruan Yi hadn't even considered how to explain this to her nominal fiancé; her mind was completely occupied with—could Fu Jingchen beat Chen Xun?!

What if Shen Xun loses control and beats her and Fu Jingchen to death here?

Shen Xun stared at Fu Jingchen's arm protecting Ruan Yi, his voice trembling, every word filled with resentment clenched between his teeth.

"If I hadn't come, I would never have known that I could be so green with envy, right?"

He was trying his best to suppress something; his Adam's apple was throbbing violently, and the corners of his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like he was about to pounce on someone and tear them apart at any moment.

Ruan Yi swallowed hard. She knew she shouldn't say anything to anger Shen Xun, but she couldn't very well say that her boyfriend was just playing around and that her fiancé was the real one, could she?

"There's no such thing as being cuckolded... I've brought up breaking off the engagement with you many times, but you wouldn't agree."

These words are like adding fuel to the fire.

Shen Xun suddenly took a step forward, his large hand reaching towards Ruan Yi's shoulder. Just as he was about to touch her, Fu Jingchen instantly turned to the side, his arm muscles slamming against Shen Xun's front, pushing him back half a step.

Shen Xun narrowed his eyes, and in one swift motion, grabbed Fu Jingchen's elbow and swung it to the side. Their arm muscles collided, both of them tense and stiff, exuding an air of tension even before they had actually started fighting.

Ruan Yi's heart was pounding in her throat. Looking at the bulging veins on Chen Xun's forehead, she was even more afraid that something bad had happened.

Clearly, this madman is still holding back.

If Shen Xun, this freakishly strong and mentally ill man, were to go on a rampage, could Fu Jingchen possibly go toe-to-toe with him?

"Don't scare her," Fu Jingchen said.

"It was I who seduced Xiaoyi."

"Bang!" The words had barely left his mouth when his fist slammed into Fu Jingchen's face almost instantly.

"You fucking dare say that again!" Chen Xun panted heavily, his eyes filled with almost tangible killing intent.

Fu Jingchen's head was turned to the side by the blow, and blood instantly trickled from the corner of his mouth. Only then did he realize that his opponent was stronger than he had thought.

But there were only a few.

Fu Jingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes like a deep pool, and flicked his wrist, speaking each word without any hesitation.

"I said, it was I who seduced Xiaoyi."

"I deliberately approached her, and she's in this bed today because of me—I had ulterior motives."

Ruan Yi's heart clenched when she saw the blood at the corner of Fu Jingchen's mouth. She almost jumped out of bed to look at the injury on his face.

Afraid of hurting him, she could only yell at Chen Xun.

"Shen Xun! Have you gone mad?"

Shen Xun ignored Fu Jingchen's provocation and his trembling fists; he just stared intently at Ruan Yi's nervous expression towards another man.

The girl's heartache was so obvious; even when she called Fu Jingchen's name, it carried a protective tone.

In that instant, it felt as if all the blood in his body had been drained, and the fierce determination he had been holding back completely shattered.

Shen Xun grabbed Fu Jingchen's bathrobe collar, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Adulterer, is that it? Fine—" His gaze swept over Ruan Yi, each word like a knife.

"Then today, as her husband, I will rightfully kill you, you scheming mistress!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his fist swung out with a powerful gust of wind.

Without thinking, Ruan Yi suddenly leaned forward, trying to shield Fu Jingchen, but Fu Jingchen pulled her back into his arms.

The heavy fist stopped abruptly, without a moment's delay.

When he abruptly stopped, his whole body froze, and he trembled even more violently than before, with the veins on the back of his hands throbbing.

"What husband do I have!" Ruan Yi broke free from Fu Jingchen's embrace, grabbed Chen Xun's wrist, and forcefully pulled his hand away from Fu Jingchen's collar.

"Only I can decide who I'm with!"

Ruan Yi stared into Chen Xun's bloodshot eyes, her tone full of mockery and contempt, "When you asked me to come back to the country with you, didn't you say you wouldn't use a marriage contract to trap me?"

"Chen Xun! I'm so glad I didn't believe your nonsense back then."

"Otherwise... am I already trapped in your house, forced to bear your son and carry on the family line?"

These words were like a sharp blade piercing the man's heart. Chen Xun's already bloodshot eyes widened even more instantly, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

The next second, two round tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes without warning, landing on the back of Ruan Yi's hand, burning her scalding hot.

The man was trembling all over, his voice filled with surging resentment and hatred, as if he wanted to tear his heart out and show it to her.

"Ruan Yi, why won't you believe me no matter what I say!"

"If I wanted to force you with a marriage contract, would I have gone to such lengths to move the Shen family's core business to the United States?"

His voice was hoarse and urgent, tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes, yet it conveyed a sense of resentment bordering on collapse.

"You said you wanted to stay in the US, and during the time I wasn't following you around, I was trying every single second to get as close to you as possible!"

The man suddenly grabbed her wrist with his other hand, his grip so tight it felt like he was going to crush her bones, and the spot where his fingertips were clenched instantly turned red.

Ruan Yi groaned softly in pain. The man released her hand abruptly as if he had been burned. He stared at the red mark on the girl's wrist, his brows furrowed deeply.

The air fell silent for a few seconds.

"I love you more than your mother does! If you don't want children, I'll get a vasectomy! I've never tried to force you to do anything, never!"

Ruan Yi was so startled by his words that she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a sound for a long time.

Looking at Ruan Yi's expression, Shen Xun thought she would finally be moved, even just a little bit, but Ruan Yi stared at his face and said, word by word.

"No man could love me more than my mother."

These confident words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving both men present stunned and their brows furrowed.

The air fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"Hold!"

Shen Xun suddenly raised his foot and kicked the corner of the bed hard. A clear cracking sound was heard as he kicked a crack into the corner of the bed.

"Okay, very good... You thought I would force you from the beginning, right?"

He didn't look at Ruan Yi again, nor did he pay attention to Fu Jingchen. He turned around and left the bedroom. Soon, the sound of a man talking on the phone came from the living room.

Ruan Yi was still a little dazed because she hadn't expected him to stop acting crazy. Fu Jingchen had already brought the clothes hanging in the closet and said softly, "Change your clothes first."

The man gently rubbed the girl's cheek with his large hand, his fingertips warm. "Don't be afraid."

When Fu Jingchen was helping Ruan Yi get dressed, he could clearly feel that she was still trembling. His heart tightened, and he stopped what he was doing, pulling her into his arms. His voice was gentle but firm.

"With me here, Xiaoyi is safe."

"No matter what happens, I will be by Xiaoyi's side."
