Chapter 166 He Doesn't Love Me at All

She was being tempted by her younger brother, and her fiancé was desperately trying to stop her.

Standing outside the door were three grown men: her boyfriend, the man who almost became her boyfriend, and the man who wanted to become her boyfriend.

The vase leaning against the door was just a relatively light decorative piece, but it was now being pushed gently by the force from outside the door and looked like it was about to give way.

Lin Han, who was standing beside her, had long lost the confidence she had initially had when she brought people here just to witness a chaotic scene. Her plan to help Ruan Yi escape during the chaos was no longer of any use.

Right now, Shen Xun and Gu Zhi in the room were glued together, showing no intention of fighting to the death with the person next to them. Their eyes were fixed on Ruan Yi, as if they were afraid that she would disappear at any moment.

Gu Zhi's whispers still lingered in her ears, each word wrapped in a soft, sweet shell, sinfully tempting her.

The shrill, urgent screams were so loud they hurt her ears.

Finally, unable to bear the tug-of-war between the two sides any longer, Ruan Yi raised her voice and shouted, "Shut up!"

The shout was so loud that the inquiries and knocking outside the door abruptly stopped, followed by an even stronger push.

With a loud crash, the vase blocking the door fell to the ground, and the heavy door was forcibly pulled open.

Three unsurprising figures stood side by side at the door, their tall and imposing figures instantly blocking out the light from outside.

Without her saying a word, several heavy gazes fell on Ruan Yi, blending with the already somber atmosphere in the room and making her feel suffocated.

Fortunately, none of them were thinking about each other at the moment; their only thought was to get closer to her.

Fearing that if she hesitated even a moment longer, the other party might use some underhanded trick, and Ruan Yi would be seduced by someone else.

The men, each with their own ulterior motives, approached step by step, surrounding the girl. The air seemed to thin, making it difficult for her to even breathe, and she could only stand frozen in place.

Being stared at by so many eyes at the same time is not a good feeling; it gives you the illusion that you are naked.

The overwhelming feeling of being caught made her swallow hard; at this moment, Ruan Yi and her best friend were surprisingly in sync.

Ruan Yi thought that as soon as these men started to pressure or coerce her, she would immediately slap each of them and then run away with Lin Han.

But the group seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, since the girl who was surrounded was so nervous that her hair was standing on end and her fists were clenched, looking like she was ready to fight.

The tense atmosphere suddenly changed, and the plot did not develop as Ruan Yi had imagined.

Fu Jingchen took half a step forward, his steady voice carrying a reassuring power. He lured the girl closer with a warm and familiar embrace, "Xiaoyi, don't be afraid."

"If Xiaoyi is willing to come back with me, I'll handle the rest, okay?"

But before he could finish speaking, someone hurriedly reached out to stop him. Fu Wang sarcastically asked, "The way to deal with a murderer isn't to kill everyone else, is it?"

"Bad woman... Why are you surrounded by people who bully you, from marriage-forcing maniacs to murderers?"

"You're the one who bullies me when we're together..."

The man spoke ill of the other two men with a straight face, while also trying to highlight his own differences.

Shen Xun listened to the two men, both surnamed Fu, talking back and forth, his eyes wide with shock that the two brothers had actually teamed up to be mistresses, and didn't forget to put him, their legitimate fiancé, down.

"Ruan Yi, is this the adulterer you chose?"

"Do you prefer older men or men with blond hair? Neither of them is more suitable to be a husband than me!"

Pei Lian listened to the topic of their argument and his eyes crinkled with laughter. He tilted his head slightly, his tone carrying a hint of teasing amusement.

"Miss Ruan, if you choose them, you'll have to bear a lot of unwarranted responsibilities, won't you?"

"She has to be both a wife and a mother."

"You won't have these worries if you're with me. Miss Ruan can just enjoy a talking, warm toy without having to take any responsibility."

"Also, I'm childless by choice, but if Miss Ruan wishes... I can also choose not to get married."

Ruan Yi suddenly looked up, somewhat tempted, after all, what the other party said precisely hit her current concerns.

Gu Zhi's gaze was already deep, but when he heard Pei Lian's words, the pressure around him instantly dropped to freezing point. His dark eyes were fixed on Ruan Yi, catching the slight wavering in her eyes.

"Sister, have you forgotten something?"

"Does it matter whether someone with a mental illness, who might turn people into specimens and seal them in glass cabinets as works of art, chooses to be childless and not get married?"

“Anyone who would hurt my sister…” Gu Zhi’s voice was deep, and he cut off the girl’s hesitation with a single sentence, “My sister can’t even think about it.”

Hearing Gu Zhi directly reject the option for her, Ruan Yi was quite annoyed.

This person spoke so eloquently, as if he had forgotten the many evil deeds he had committed in order to get into someone's bed.

As Ruan Yi listened to the men talking to each other, their words and gestures were different, yet they all carried the same seductive meaning, as if they wanted to use every trick in the book to persuade her.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Her voice wasn't particularly loud, but it successfully interrupted their mutual disparagement and self-promotion.

The air seemed to freeze, with only the man's unusually heavy breathing remaining.

Centered in the center by five burning gazes, Ruan Yi felt like a piece of tender, fresh meat surrounded by wolves, ready to be snatched away and devoured by some wild beast if she wasn't careful.

"After saying all this, is it because you really like me, or is it just your desire to conquer and possess me?"

"Actually, they're just enjoying the competition between men, craving the sense of accomplishment from winning me over, right?"

Ruan Yi met their astonished gazes and spoke each word with conviction, leaving the room in complete silence.

Lin Han, who had stepped aside, couldn't help but facepalm. Although they were indeed a group of bad men, Ruan Yi was too lazy to even assign them specific crimes.

She clearly understood how Ruan Yi was going to escape.

Despite the fact that these five people wanted to erase each other from the world, which was clearly excessive, they were still labeled as scumbags.

"Ruan Yi, what nonsense are you spouting!" Shen Xun was the first to lose his temper, his face turning frighteningly dark, and his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"How could it be competitive desire? Who cares if they live or die! You..."

"I don't want to hear it now." Ruan Yi interrupted him abruptly before he could finish speaking, her eyes glistening with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

The girl avoided his eager gaze, her face filled with a knowing look of disappointment.

"Saying you like me and love me is just forcing me to make a choice, trapping me here. What kind of nonsense is this?"

If she had to choose, she would first choose a normal person.

But if she were to leave now, holding Fu Wang's hand, then her future would likely be...

The man has to constantly watch out for any unidentified objects falling from the sky; whether several drunken, desperate drivers will simultaneously charge at him in their trucks; and whether a man-eating brown bear will "accidentally" appear in the city center and chase after him, devouring him alone.

Ruan Yi banished the terrifying images from her mind and looked at the people in front of her, letting out a cold laugh.

"Now I'm wondering, do you like me, or do you enjoy the thrill of scheming and robbing?"

"Or... do you just want to use me as a trophy, to show off your victory to each other?"

It wasn't that they didn't want to refute, but anyone who tried to speak was silenced by the girl's threatening gaze.

The man never imagined that his desire for her firm choice would be interpreted in this way.

He desperately wanted her response.

But in Ruan Yi's words, he became a villain who "only knows how to compete and doesn't love her at all."
