Is Chapter 151 better than mine?

She regretted it afterward; perhaps she really is a bad woman.

Ruan Yi leaned against the headboard, completely exhausted. The corner of the blanket barely covered her waistline. Her snow-white shoulders and collarbone were covered with red marks of varying shades, each one looking as if it had been carefully branded.

The man's movements were clearly gentle, yet he insisted on repeatedly rubbing and kissing her skin, as if leaving these marks would prove that something had happened between them.

Her eyes were closed, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

Just a moment ago she was wary of him, but the next second she was completely seduced and fell for him. When she came to her senses, all she felt was regret.

Are you feeling unwell?

The man's voice was hoarse from the passion. He embraced her from behind, resting his chin on her neck, and then lowered his head to kiss the already red marks on her shoulders and neck.

But it's precisely because it's too comfortable that it's annoying.

She abruptly raised her hand and forcefully pushed the man's face away: "Are you ever going to stop?"

“It wasn’t over yet,” Pei Lian chuckled, his fingertips caressing the soft flesh of her waist. “Didn’t you say it was going to break…”

These words instantly enraged Ruan Yi, who reached out and pinched his chest muscles, her knuckles gripping so hard it looked like she wanted to twist his flesh off.

The man groaned, but instead of pulling away, he grabbed her wrist and kissed her lips.

As their lips and teeth intertwined, Ruan Yi stared wide-eyed and tightened her grip on his hand, but his kiss grew ever more intense until her breathing became unsteady and the strength in her fingertips gradually dissipated, at which point she temporarily conceded defeat.

Ruan Yi gave up struggling and let the man do evil everywhere.

Just as he was enjoying a passionate kiss on the girl's soft waist and abdomen, he heard a loud "gurgle" sound, and Ruan Yi blushed instantly.

The man probably didn't expect it to be this late and inadvertently overlooked the possibility that the girl might be hungry.

Pei Lian chuckled softly, "Hungry? I'll order takeout."

As he got up to tidy himself up, the tattoo on his lower abdomen caught Ruan Yi's eye. The two intertwined white snakes seemed to resemble the two snakes that had been entangled with him just moments before.

Ruan Yi felt a tightness in her chest, as if she had done something wrong again. She could only tearfully convince herself that it was all for the sake of evidence, and at least she felt good about it.

Seeing the man about to order takeout on his phone, Ruan Yi kicked him in annoyance: "Takeout is too slow, go buy it yourself."

Pei Lian raised an eyebrow, did not refute, and walked out after tidying himself up.

Almost immediately after confirming the man had left, Ruan Yi got up, thankfully Pei Lian had already cleaned up for her.

After tidying herself up a bit, she didn't even bother to comb her hair properly before walking towards the door without hesitation.

Without leaving a message or even a greeting, they went straight out of the room, turned left, and disappeared into the distance.

It's like simply unwrapping a gift that brings physical pleasure but also takes a lot of energy.

Perhaps because she left so decisively, Ruan Yi didn't even look back.

Naturally, no one saw the man who hadn't left the wall on the right side of the corridor, leaning against it with his arms crossed over his chest, his silver hair gleaming coldly under the light.

Pei Lian watched her hastily departing figure, the dark and profound look hidden deep in her pupils almost overflowing.

He only slowly released his arms from his chest when the slender figure had completely disappeared around the corner.

The man gazed down the corridor she had walked down, his fingertips tracing the red marks on his chest where the girl had pinched him, and murmured softly.

"Wearing a skirt and leaving...how heartless."

Ruan Yi stood on the street, the evening breeze carrying the sound of traffic rushing towards her, but it couldn't dispel the restlessness in her heart.

The red marks on her shoulder were covered by her coat, but with every movement, the sensation of the fabric rubbing against her skin reminded her of what had happened.

Go back to Shen Xun now? Knowing his temper, he'd definitely lose control on the spot if he saw these marks.

Going to Fu Jingchen was even less likely to work, even though Pei Lian had promised her that the video would never be used as evidence and that he would tell Fu Jingchen's lawyer the truth: the illegally used equipment was invalid evidence.

But someone as meticulous as Fu Jingchen would only cause more trouble if he saw himself in this state.

She could easily find an apartment, but she could only stay there for a few hours before someone would "smell it" and come looking for her.

Ruan Yi shook her head irritably, and was about to lift her foot when a slightly hoarse voice suddenly came from behind her...

"elder sister."

Ruan Yi's body froze instantly, rooted to the spot.

She instinctively wanted to pretend she didn't know him, but the next second, that tall figure walked around to her.

Ruan Yi's first reaction was to reach out and tighten the collar of her coat.

Gu Zhi has a very keen sense of smell, even more so than a dog's.

Even though she had cleaned it up a bit, she was still afraid he would smell something, since men are always the ones who know her scent best.

"Sister?" Gu Zhi's voice was deliberately soft, but his eyes were like hooks, landing on the girl's tense profile.

"Sister...why are you pretending not to hear me?"

Ruan Yi took a deep breath before managing to force out a calm tone: "How did you end up here?"

Gu Zhi lowered his eyelashes. "Didn't my sister say that she would contact me if she needed anything?" He took a half step forward and lowered his voice even further.

"But my sister hasn't sent me a single message during this time. Does she really not need anything, or...?"

The man's gaze slowly moved down, from her hand clutching her collar to her legs, which seemed to be trembling slightly. His gaze was warm, making Ruan Yi feel uncomfortable all over.

Ruan Yiqiang suppressed the burning heat in her face, feeling guilty and not daring to look at him: "I've been busy with other things lately, I haven't had time to think about these things."

"Is it about the engagement with Shen Xun?"

Gu Zhi raised his eyes, his eyes so dark that no emotion could be discerned.

“I’ve heard everything. My sister is going back to marry him.”

After all, Shen Xun had posted a lot of updates on his WeChat Moments, both openly and subtly, about how he was about to get married, so it was hard not to know.

When Gu Zhi uttered the title "Brother Shen Xun" again, Ruan Yi found it somewhat amusing. The culprit who had caused her relationship with Shen Xun to deteriorate to this point was now calling him "brother" with an innocent expression.

"So what if it is? Didn't I tell you not to expect anything in return from me? Who I marry is none of your business."

"If there really is a wedding... you just need to attend as the younger brother."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Gu Zhi's fingertips curl into a fist, his eyes instantly darkening, and even the curve of his lips revealing self-mockery.

Ruan Yi's heart softened for a moment at his injured appearance, but she quickly came to her senses. She knew she couldn't be soft-hearted towards this person who would sneak into bed with her.

The man in front of her knew better than anyone how to take advantage of her reluctance; once she gave in, he would only become more and more clingy.

Just as Ruan Yi was about to break the silence, Gu Zhi spoke first in a low voice: "I know, I just wanted to tell you that Sister Lin Han seems to be looking for you."

The man frowned as he spoke, looking wronged. "Sister Lin Han even asked me if I had locked up my sister again, which is why I couldn't answer her."

Ruan Yi was startled, only then realizing that because of the case and what happened afterward, she hadn't thought to check her phone all day.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone and opened WeChat, and sure enough, he saw that Lin Han had sent a series of messages, questioning him from the morning court session until the evening.

Fortunately, not a single phone call was made, so it must not be anything urgent. Otherwise, given Lin Han's personality, she would have been making a barrage of calls long ago.

Ruan Yi breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a little guilty. She had been a bit too harsh on Gu Zhi earlier. Perhaps he really had just happened to be there to deliver a message.

"I understand, that's fine then."

As Ruan Yi was about to turn around, her wrist was gently pulled. The man's palm was hot, and his strength was so gentle that it seemed as if he was afraid of hurting her. His voice trembled with suppressed emotion.

"Sister, can I have a hug...?"

"Just one hug, okay? I miss my sister so much, I'm dying of longing for her."

Ruan Yi paused, and when she turned around, her tone was still somewhat harsh and cold: "Are you going to die? Then die somewhere else."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Zhi's eyes instantly reddened. "Sister, I..." The man seemed about to shatter into pieces.

Ruan Yi stopped in her tracks, gently hugged his waist, and softened her voice: "Silly boy."

She had only been hugging him for a few seconds when, just as she was about to let go, Gu Zhi suddenly tightened his arms, holding her firmly in his embrace.

Gu Zhi's nose brushed against the top of her head, the familiar sweet scent filling his nostrils, but the undercurrent in his eyes grew even more turbulent.

The alluring sweet fragrance was mixed with a masculine scent that didn't belong to her.

"Sister, can you come to me next time...?" His voice was pleading.

Is his better than mine?

Ruan Yi froze. Gu Zhi's meaning couldn't be clearer. Her cheeks burned and her mind was in turmoil, but she didn't want to hide it from Gu Zhi, nor could she.

All he could do was awkwardly say, "It's not because of that, don't worry about it... there's a reason anyway."

Gu Zhi sensed the explanation in her tone, so he slowly released her and gently rubbed her earlobe, which had turned red from the wind.

The warmth of the man's fingertips made Ruan Yi tremble slightly. Being touched by him made her feel comfortable subconsciously, a habit she had developed over the years.

Gu Zhi's voice was gentle, yet tinged with a hint of grievance, "Well, then promise me, sister, that you'll come to me next time... I've been so obedient, I haven't bothered you at all."

"Sister, you're willing to see me thinking about you all this time, so you've taken matters into your own hands... um." Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Yi forcefully covered his mouth with her hand.

"Shut up, I know!" The girl's face was burning red to the roots of her ears, and her heart beat even faster when her fingertips touched his warm lips.

She had to admit that even after all that had happened, she felt no physical aversion to Gu Zhi, who was constantly bothering her.

Whether it's because of years of getting to know each other or because of that ridiculously handsome face.

"I'll look for you next time..."

Ruan Yi blushed, but in order to prevent him from saying those lewd things in the street, she finally agreed.

Just as they were at an impasse, Ruan Yi's phone suddenly vibrated, and several words on the screen jumped out at the top of her head.

Realizing she hadn't replied to Lin Han yet, Ruan Yi hurriedly answered the phone. Before she could even speak, Lin Han's angry roar came from the other end.

"Ruan Yi! I've already gotten off the plane and you still haven't replied! Am I no longer your eldest daughter?!"

Startled by the roar, Ruan Yi shrank back and instinctively took a half-step away from Gu Zhi, repeatedly reassuring him over the phone.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I had too much to do today and forgot to check my phone. I'll come pick you up now."

Gu Zhi stood aside, watching Ruan Yi apologize to the phone while constantly saying sweet nothings and coquettish things.

It gradually became unrecognizable.

After all, Gu had even wondered as a child why he wasn't a younger sister.

If he were a younger sister, he could sleep with his older sister, bathe with her, and...

Okay, my sister can't do that either.
