Chapter 56 If you won't let me sleep with you, I'll annul the engagement.
Shang Wu froze, unable to control herself due to her drunkenness, and almost showed a look of disgust.
Why are you here?
Zhou Yanci smiled and said, "I miss my fiancée. Can't I come? I even brought you a gift."
He took a jewelry box out of his pocket and handed it to Shang Wu, "Open it and take a look?"
Shang Wu pursed her lips, completely losing interest.
She suppressed her dizziness, took the jewelry box, and was about to open it when Zhou Yanci suddenly stepped closer.
"Awu, have you been drinking? It smells so good, the smell of alcohol, and the scent of you too..."
Zhou Yanci lowered his head to kiss her.
Shang Wu's pupils constricted, and she immediately pushed him away: "I'm not feeling well, don't touch me."
"You're feeling unwell because of drinking, right?"
Zhou Yanci was pushed away, but this only made her more eager to try.
He picked up the bottle of red wine on the table, looked at it, and then put it down with a smile.
"You drank so much, it's no wonder you feel unwell. Are you dizzy?"
Shang Wu gripped the jewelry box tightly, already impatient: "Yes, you can go first, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
"Then I'll come upstairs with you. I'll stay here tonight; it's been a long time since we've stayed together."
Zhou Yanci grabbed Shang Wu's arm: "Come on, let's go take a bath."
Shang Wu was startled, sobered up a bit, and shook off his hand.
"Words, what did I tell you? You can't..."
"We can't go all the way," Zhou Yanci finished her sentence for her, helplessly. "Of course I respect your wishes, it's just taking a bath together. I promise you, we'll only take a bath, nothing else, okay?"
He coaxed and pulled Shang Wu upstairs without saying a word.
Shang Wu was jolted awake.
But his body was still immersed in drunkenness, and he couldn't muster any strength.
Seeing that Zhou Yanci was about to pull her into the bathroom, she quickened her pace, entered the bathroom first, and swiftly locked the door behind her!
"Awu? What are you doing?" Zhou Yanci's tone was subtly displeased.
He banged on the door: "Let me in! You're drunk, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble if you take a shower by yourself!"
Shang Wu leaned against the door, refusing him: "I can wash myself!"
Zhou Yanci continued to urge from outside: "No, I don't trust you, Awu, open the door."
Shang Wu bit her lip anxiously, her voice low, "Can you please stop? I don't want to do this yet."
"You're already engaged, there's nothing wrong with taking a shower together."
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes. Not hearing a response from her, he didn't press the matter further: "Alright then, you go first to shower. I'll prepare your pajamas and wait for you outside."
Shang Wu paused, unconsciously checking his surroundings.
Her bathrobe isn't here.
Shang Wu bit her lip, feeling anxious.
No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!
Zhou Yanci is determined to have something happen between him and her tonight.
She took a deep breath and took out her phone.
When she needed help, there was no one around.
Shang Wu paused, her fingertip landing on A Ying's phone number. After hesitating for two seconds, she scrolled down again.
The next second, she turned on the tap and walked to the sink to wait anxiously.
The call was answered quickly.
Shang Wu's breath hitched: "Lu Rang, help me, Zhou Yanci is with me!"
Lu Rang paused for two seconds: "Give me the address."
Shang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sent him her location.
Just then, she turned her head and suddenly saw a blurry figure standing outside.
Shang Wu was so frightened she almost threw her phone away.
Zhou Yanci pressed her ear against the door, listening intently to the sounds inside.
"Ah Wu, are you taking a shower? I heard you talking to someone on the phone."
Shang Wu's heart was pounding, but she pretended to be calm and said, "I just got a work call, I'll wash up right away."
"Okay, hurry up and finish washing up. It's getting late, and we all have to work tomorrow." Zhou Yanci said, but remained standing outside.
Looking at that dark figure, Shang Wu felt it was no different from a horror movie.
She tried to calm herself, turned off the tap, and then turned on the shower.
After a while, the person outside left.
Shang Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then sat by the bathtub, her heart burning with anxiety.
It takes twenty minutes to get here from Lu Rang's residence.
If she hides for another twenty minutes, she should be able to get rid of Zhou Yanci.
As long as she is safe tonight, she will not give Zhou Yanci any more chances to come over.
Shang Wu thought for a moment, then took out her phone, took a picture of the bathroom, and sent it to Chen Mian.
Now you should know whose heart Zhou Yanci truly belongs to, right?
After sending the text message, she put her phone down.
Ten minutes later, there was movement outside the door again.
Zhou Yanci raised her hand and knocked on the door: "Awu, are you alright? Why aren't you finished washing yet?"
Shang Wu called out, "Wait a little longer, I'll be done washing right away!"
Is Shen Mian asleep by now? Why haven't I heard anything from the text message...?
She swallowed hard, feeling anxious, when suddenly the bathroom door was turned.
"Let me come in and help you, Awu."
Shang Wuxin's heart jumped to her throat: "Don't do this, I'll tell you and I'll come out right away!"
"Let me help you!"
Zhou Yanci couldn't wait any longer and twisted the doorknob forcefully, as if using a specific technique.
The next second, the bathroom door was actually turned open.
Shang Wu was stunned and stood frozen in place.
Zhou Yanci walked in, expecting to see her beautiful body, but to her surprise, she was still dressed properly and standing by the bathtub.
The hot water pouring down from the showerhead next to her didn't fall on Shang Wu at all.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yanci's expression completely changed, from a smile to astonishment.
He couldn't believe it: "Why didn't you take a shower? Were you just stalling for time and lying to me?"
Shang Wu felt a tightness in his chest.
Before she could answer, Zhou Yanci's expression darkened further: "You're avoiding me because you don't want to have a relationship with me?"
Shang Wu's expression froze, unsure how to explain, so she simply used the opportunity to elaborate.
"My brother's situation is still not completely clear, and I can't help but think back to what Ji Yu said. I don't want to face you, and I can't bring myself to be close to you again."
Zhou Yanci couldn't listen anymore: "I've already said that I will do as you say and let your brother be released from prison in six months. What more proof do you want me to make?"
"Sorry, I just need some time to adjust." Shang Wu lowered her eyes and stared at the floor, her posture full of defensiveness.
Zhou Yanci's face darkened as he realized that Shang Wu always made excuses to avoid him.
He couldn't accept the question: "I don't want to hear this from you. Regardless of whether your brother is involved or not, you never wanted me to touch you before."
Zhou Yanci grabbed Shang Wu's wrist: "You always say you're conservative and want to save such things for your wedding night. I respect that and have never forced you, but now I feel that's not the case at all!"
Shang Wu winced in pain at the wrist and looked at him, asking, "What do you mean?"
"You only see me as the savior who saved your business, and you're repaying my kindness, but you've never loved me. Otherwise, you would have been eager to have sex with me long ago, instead of being like this now, unwilling to even let me touch you with a single hair!"
Zhou Yanci became increasingly angry as he spoke.
He was rich, powerful, and handsome.
Countless women flocked to him, wanting to get into his bed.
But Shang Wu showed absolutely no interest in him!
A dark glint flashed in Zhou Yanci's eyes.
Tell me, is there someone else in your heart?
Shang Wu was suddenly startled and shook off his hand.
"What nonsense are you talking about! I've always been sincere with you."
"Really?" Zhou Yanci seemed to have expected her to answer like this. "I'll trust you if you hand you over to me."
Shang Wu's expression changed slightly.
“Take off your clothes and take a bath in front of me.” Zhou Yanci’s gaze was icy, and he had completely lost his patience. “Unless you do that, I won’t believe you.”
"you……"
Shang Wu's breathing became slightly labored.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to prove my sincerity, or do you just want to have sex with me?"
"Don't talk about that. In short, if you're not willing today, I'll call off the engagement." Zhou Yanci didn't care about anything else at this moment.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Shang Wu's claim of loving him was just superficial.
He didn't know when it started, but Shang Wu stopped making any physical contact with him.
Let alone kissing and hugging, even holding hands is something he always does first.
Shang Wu's words of love for him were utterly unconvincing.
Shang Wu slowly pursed her lips, standing still without making any movement.
Zhou Yanci looked at her: "Is this very difficult for you?"
Shang Wu said calmly, "You are humiliating me."
“I was just confirming your feelings for me, not humiliating you,” Zhou Yanci retorted, determined not to let the matter rest.
Shang Wu slowly pursed her lips, her mind racing.
It seems that Zhou Yanci is determined to take things further with her today.
Extreme joy can turn into sorrow.
He shouldn't have drunk alcohol in a moment of happiness, otherwise Zhou Yanci wouldn't have taken the opportunity to have evil intentions.
"I never expected you to force me to do things I don't want to do. Then I'd like to ask you, do you really love me? Do you really respect me? Or do you think that just because you've helped me, I have to obey you unconditionally, sleep whenever I want, and not have any objections?"
Shang Wu started pretending to be angry, as if she wanted to start a fight.
Zhou Yanci didn't buy into that.
He said slowly, "Make your choice first, then start arguing with me."
"Then let's break up. I don't need a fiancé who disrespects me like this."
Shang Wu pretended to be angry and turned her back.
She didn't know if Zhou Yanci would let it go after she said that.
But for now, all we can do is try.
Just then, Zhou Yanci suddenly sighed.
"Alright, Ah Wu, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have threatened you with breaking up."
Shang Wu was taken aback, paused for a moment, and frowned as she looked at him.
Is that all?
Zhou Yanci stepped forward, took her hand, and held it tightly.
"Okay, go take a shower. I left your pajamas outside. I'll wait for you in the living room. We'll talk properly after you're done."
He turned and went downstairs.
Shang Wu couldn't figure out what he was doing, so she could only take a shower and go downstairs first.
The moment she opened the door, Zhou Yanci picked up the water glass on the table and threw the empty medicine tube into the trash can.
He smiled gently at Shang Wu.
"Come and have a glass of water, let's talk slowly."
