Chapter 95 Chapter 95 A vicious dog without a master to restrain it, but...
As for the other party who was about to get engaged, Ji Siyun naturally did not hide his plans from Song Youning.
The next day, Assistant Fang brought a lot of design drawings for Song Youning to choose from. She flipped through these drawings that were obviously for couple rings, and her brows furrowed more and more.
Ji Siyun was sitting opposite her, and as Song Youning frowned, his heart sank more and more.
She doesn't like it? Or she doesn't want to?
Ji Siyun seemed calm on the surface, but Song Youning, who was already familiar with his paranoid nature, could easily detect the undercurrent hidden beneath his calm expression.
While flipping through the papers, she glanced at the hand on the armrest of the sofa opposite her.
The hand with distinct knuckles tightened slightly, leaving subtle marks on the soft leather sofa from the nails.
Her gaze fell back on the paper in front of her - she had turned to the last page, and this drawing was different from the previous ones.
Different jewelry brands have their own design styles, but in the last picture, she couldn’t see the characteristics of any of them.
This women's ring features a remarkably simple silhouette, with seven unevenly arranged round diamonds set on the front of the band. The center diamond is the largest, with smaller diamonds on either side. These diamonds are securely held in a classic claw setting, elegantly outlining the silhouette of a jasmine bud.
The other ring is obviously wider and slightly thicker, which is the men's ring. In the corresponding position of the ring, there is a diamond of about the same size as the one in the center of the women's ring, which seems to echo the core of the "petals" in the design of the women's ring.
Song Youning looked at this drawing for the longest time, and the piece of leather under Ji Siyun's palm was completely wrinkled.
Under his feigned calm gaze, Song Youning tossed the manuscript onto the coffee table. Her gaze silently swept across the sofa that had been deformed by his grip. She crossed her arms and asked in a puzzled manner, "Ji Siyun, what do you want to do at my mother's birthday party?"
Ji Siyun pretended to be calm, but the anxiety in his heart was like a turbulent sea, surging up.
He pursed his lips slightly, his brows expression calm as a smile appeared on his face. "On such a beautiful day, of course we're planning to announce our engagement to everyone."
Song Youning seemed to be shocked by the sudden news. His eyelashes blinked rapidly, as if trying to dispel this terrible illusion, and a series of gasps escaped from his lips.
The dark eyes stared at her quietly. Song Youning's mouth twitched, and she stumbled a little in shock and doubt: "Are you kidding me?"
The man opposite him didn't look like he was joking. Ji Siyun grinned and said, "I never joke about anything related to you."
The answer that sounded like a love word did not move Song Youning, but made her anxious heart even more uneasy.
On the one hand, there is a system that requires her to wait until the correct point in the original plot before logging off, and on the other hand, the plot is getting more and more off track.
Faced with such a contradictory situation, she even began to feel confused - could she really go back smoothly?
Complex emotions intertwined into a large net that encircled her heart. Song Youning stood up with a "whoosh", her breath was about to emit sparks, and she raised her voice to question him: "When did I agree to get engaged to you!"
Ji Siyun had guessed that she would resist, so he raised his head calmly and looked into Song Youning's angry face, but his knuckles turned white from excessive force.
He tried his best to suppress the bitterness rising in his throat, and said in a low and steady tone: "Miss, have you forgotten the conditions for me to clean up the mess for the Song Corporation?"
Meeting her gaze, Ji Siyun showed a faint, mocking smile on his face: "Do you think I'm someone who would do good things without asking for anything in return?"
His eyes were filled with chilling coldness. Song Youning dodged his gaze and moved aside, trying to escape in a desperate struggle: "What do you mean by my family's mess? It's obviously a trap you set for us. If it weren't for you, the Song family wouldn't have been forced to this point."
Being reminded once again that the current "peaceful life" on the surface was obtained through his despicable means, Ji Siyun's breathing sank.
Perhaps Ji Siyun's silence gave her courage, and Song Youning's voice became louder as she spoke.
"Shouldn't you be the one to handle the things you caused?" She lowered her head and looked at her toes. The more she spoke, the more she felt she was right.
"I was wondering why you were so kind all of a sudden, wanting to throw a birthday party for my mom. Turns out you were waiting here. Don't be too greedy. My family's huge group is all yours..."
At this point, she seemed to have forgotten how terrifying the man in front of her was, and treated him again as the down-and-out young man who had once obeyed her every word. She raised her head, opened her clear and beautiful almond-shaped eyes, and shamelessly tried to persuade him: "You now have wealth that ordinary people can't accumulate in several lifetimes. What can't you get? A forced melon is not sweet. Let me go, and I promise not to blame you. Let's part ways amicably."
The four words "part ways amicably" were like a sword stabbing Ji Siyun's heart.
The mocking curve at the corner of his mouth gradually fell, and his bloodless face turned cold. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from his body.
He wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth wouldn't rise.
I want to cry, but I can't shed a single tear.
Complex and heavy emotions blocked his chest, and Ji Siyun could even taste the bloody smell coming from his throat that he had been trying so hard to suppress.
It turns out that after years of such closeness and intimate relationship, they could easily say goodbye amicably.
That's why she had treated him so casually as garbage accidentally picked up on the roadside, and was too lazy to even deal with it herself.
All the expectations, hopes and self-doubts of these years transformed into resentment and dissatisfaction of being abandoned at this moment. His tightly pursed upper and lower lips seemed to contain a resentment, making his face look even gloomier.
"Part ways amicably?"
"A forced melon is not sweet?"
One could hear the clattering sound of his clenched teeth, and his gloomy and beautiful face was distorted with anger. Ji Siyun sounded as if he had heard a huge joke, and even his voice was filled with anger.
"Miss, when you teased me, why didn't you think about parting ways amicably? Whether a forced melon is sweet or not, you won't know until you taste it."
Cold rays shot out from the dark eyes, and the bone-chilling coldness was so unfamiliar, pointing at Song Youning like a dagger.
"To you, I'm a dog that comes when you call it and goes away when you wave it away." He smiled suddenly, the maliciousness hidden in it made people shudder. "But Miss, even if I'm a dog, I'm still a vicious dog."
He stood up, adjusted the buttons of his suit gracefully, and slowly walked towards Song Youning.
The tall figure beneath the suit was lean and powerful, and as he approached, he carried a subdued yet overpowering aura. Song Youning seemed to be held captive by his shadow, watching him approach closer and closer.
It wasn't until he walked in front of her that Song Youning clearly saw the evil and cold sarcasm flashing in his eyes and leaning closer.
His low, threatening voice echoed in my ears: "A vicious dog without its owner can hurt people."
Song Youning's eyelids twitched, thinking of Song's mother, who had originally refused to agree to Ji Siyun's conditions but suddenly changed her attitude after receiving a phone call, and Song's father, who had only seen him on the phone in the past few days and looked much thinner.
Song Youning suddenly grabbed Ji Siyun's collar, and his expression after suddenly realizing what had happened was filled with fear and anger: "What did you do to my parents!"
Her almond-shaped eyes, which were slightly lighter in color, were filled with tears of fear and worry. Ji Siyun looked at her timid appearance, as if he was looking at a kitten with no attack power baring its fangs and claws.
How cute! Now she has no one to rely on, she can only rely on him, only on him!
The bony fingers gently twisted the long hair on the side of her face and tucked it behind her ear. The fingertips were cold when they touched her skin, and Song Youning felt the hairs on her back stand up from the cold.
The person looking at her had pity in his eyes, but at the same time there was a sense of separation and resentment. A strange feeling surged into Song Youning's heart.
The hand that was grabbing his collar subconsciously loosened in such a strange look, and instead, the trembling shoulders were grasped by a broad hand. Ji Siyun clamped Song Youning, who wanted to retreat, and faced her face to face.
His sinister eyes were filled with chillness, his gloomy temperament became vicious and perverse, his pale skin made his lips more gorgeous, Song Youning watched his red lips open.
"My lady, hold on to your reins and don't drive me crazy."
The slender figure trembled in front of him, and patted her arm with the palm of his hand in a soothing manner. Ji Siyun's face still had a murderous look on it, and he spoke in a gentle tone with words that made people's backs chill.
"I won't hurt you, but that doesn't mean I won't hurt others...especially those who try to make you leave me." Ji Siyun stroked her chin gently, his murky expression brewing coldness and cruelty. His voice was very soft, but his words made people feel heavy in their hearts.
"My uncle and aunt are old and can't stand the hardship. It would be better for them if they could live out their days in peace and contentment. What do you think, Miss?"
Song Youning's pupils suddenly contracted, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. Her shoulders heaved violently. After a burst of rapid breathing, she suddenly raised her palms high up.
Ji Siyun didn't even blink, and the sneer on his face even wider.
The slap that was raised high did not fall in the end.
The smile that always brought a lively smile to her face had lost its color and turned pale. Song Youning's mouth trembled, and her eyes were red. She squeezed her eyes shut, clenching her raised hand so tightly that her fingertips almost dug into her palm, yet she slowly lowered it as if she didn't feel any pain.
Without waiting for her slap, Ji Siyun tilted his head with some regret, then grabbed her hand and forcefully pried open her clenched fingers.
"Fight me if you want. I won't hide."
Deep marks were pinched into the delicate palms. Ji Siyun rubbed those crescent-shaped marks while softening his voice and saying, "I feel bad when you hurt yourself like this."
Her hands were soft and warm, with slender bones beneath the smooth and delicate skin. Ji Siyun lowered his head and lovingly played with these hands that had never suffered any hardship. His drooping eyelashes fluttered, as if all the dark emotions just now had passed.
Only Song Youning knew how cold and strong the hand holding her was.
His throat felt like dry land. Song Youning mobilized all his strength and barely squeezed out a sound from his throat.
"Don't hurt them."
The small hand in his palm slowly and firmly grasped his fingers. Ji Siyun raised his eyelids and happened to see Song Youning closing his eyes, with a dead expression of resignation.
"I promise you." A trace of water spread between his tightly closed eyes. Song Youning's tone trembled, and he repeated it again like a plea: "Don't hurt them."
