At this moment, Shi Nian was in her room, using her phone to browse posts on the Tongcheng Rich Circle Forum.
Today, all the forum boards were flooded with gossip about Ye Chen and Gu Shimo.
Anonymous Netizen A: [I never expected that Fifth Master and Second Young Master Gu were actually a couple. Fifth Master is quite bold; as soon as the matter was exposed, he immediately sent someone to propose marriage...]
Anonymous Netizen B: [Sobbing, Fifth Master was my dream man! I've always dreamed of marrying him, and I've always been wary of all the glamorous and shameless women around me. But I never expected that I'd slip up so easily, and in the end, another man would steal Fifth Master away from me!]
Anonymous user C: [Waaaa, I'm heartbroken. They were both my crushes, and I never imagined they'd be together behind my back...]
Anonymous user Ding: [Heartbreak +1, Young Master Gu, the grudge of having my husband stolen is irreconcilable!]
Shi Nian felt very good as she read these comments.
However, at that moment, a loud "bang" suddenly came from her door.
The sturdy door was kicked down!
As the door collapsed, a dangerous aura, as if rising from hell, quickly spread throughout the room.
The sense of danger, terror, and coldness made Shi Nian shiver involuntarily.
The surrounding air instantly became extremely suffocating, making it difficult for her to breathe...
Shi Nian looked towards the door and saw Ye Chen's tall figure, shrouded in a dark aura, walking into the room like a grim reaper.
In the blink of an eye, he was at the bedside, grabbed her by the neck, and forcibly pulled her off the bed.
"Shi Nian, you've really done me a good thing!" His sinister gaze was filled with a chilling coldness and murderous intent as he looked at her.
The veins on the back of his hand, which was gripping her neck, bulged menacingly, as if they were about to burst at any moment!
He wasn't exerting force, but rather trying to control his strength.
Otherwise, he was afraid he might not be able to resist strangling her!
Even though he controlled his strength, Shi Nian was still in great pain from being pinched.
Due to lack of oxygen, his face quickly turned red.
She frowned in pain and reached out to pry his hand away.
But it can't be broken apart.
"Do you really think that because the old man is protecting you, I wouldn't dare to do anything to you?"
“Let me tell you, even if I kill you, he won’t really make me pay with my life. I’ve been indulging you and going along with his wishes because I don’t want him to get angry and hurt his health.”
Ye Chen spoke each word in a cold, sinister voice.
He looked at Shi Nian's pained expression with a gloomy expression, "You're not a child anymore, can't you be more sensible? The old man spoils you and treats you well, but that's not a license for you to use him to do bad things."
"It's fine if you don't want to repay the old man for his kindness, but at least don't use him to do evil. The old man is not young. If you have even a little bit of conscience, then do some good deeds for him!"
This time, Ye Chen was truly angry, and his words were quite serious.
But what angered him was not that Shi Nian had schemed against him, but that Shi Nian had taken advantage of the old man's kindness to her to settle a personal grudge.
Shi Nian's eyes were dark, and a hint of ferocity flashed in them.
Suddenly, she swiftly swung her right hand forward, and a cold glint flashed before her eyes.
Ye Chen reacted quickly, swiftly grabbing her hand and snatching the knife from her grasp.
With a backhand slash, the knife lightly sliced across Shi Nian's palm.
A bloodstain quickly appeared, and then blood gushed out of the wound.
Crimson blood dripped slowly from her palm onto the ground.
The blood didn't taste fishy; instead, it had a faint, pleasant fragrance.
Looking at her blood-soaked left hand, a sweet smile slowly bloomed on Shi Nian's face...
…
…
"Does Uncle think that I was able to scheme against you because Grandpa was around?"
Shi Nian played with the bloodstains on her left hand with her right hand, as if it wasn't her blood, and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Ye Chen's eyes were icy cold. "Isn't that right? You'd better get your act together. Don't think you can act recklessly just because the old man loves you."
"No, that's not it." Shi Nian finally raised her head, her clear eyes looking at him sincerely. "Because I love Grandpa, and Grandpa cares about Uncle, so I came up with such a mild way to teach Uncle a lesson."
"Otherwise, why would your uncle think that you're still alive after I knocked you unconscious twice?"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.
"What happened today is the lightest punishment I can think of for my uncle. It's a pity that he doesn't seem to appreciate my good intentions." Shi Nian's face showed disappointment.
But soon, she stuck out her tongue and licked the blood from her palm, her disappointment gradually turning into a sweet and alluring smile.
"But it's okay, since Uncle doesn't like this method, I'll just make you suffer as much as I want from now on. Uncle will definitely be happy~"
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, clearly sensing the hatred beneath her smile.
"You hate me?"
He found it incredible.
Although he was ordered by the old man to personally bring her back back then, he hasn't said a single word to her in the past ten years.
Although they lived on the same floor, they met only a handful of times.
My formal communication with her also took place in the last few days.
He couldn't understand why she hated him.
"Yes, Uncle is getting smarter and smarter," Shi Nian replied truthfully.
Ye Chen looked at her intently, "When have I ever offended you?"
Shi Nian said, seemingly serious but actually feigning, "Maybe my uncle did something wrong to me in his past life, so he's naturally worthy of my hatred in this life~"
Ye Chen: "..."
"I've said what I need to say. You'd better watch yourself. Don't take advantage of the old man's kindness to you anymore, or don't blame me for being rude to you."
Ye Chen didn't want to waste words with her, so he left her room after giving her a warning.
Shortly after he left, he called a few people to help Shi Nian fix the door and also asked Zhang Ma to bring a first-aid kit upstairs to treat her wounds.
However, Shi Nian did not let Zhang Ma help her with the treatment, but only asked her to leave some bandages.
Shi Nian did not leave the house until evening.
The blood loss made her feel increasingly tired, and even when she rested in bed, the fatigue could not be eliminated.
A strong attraction in a certain direction, just like last time, drew her there again.
She tried hard to control herself.
But in the middle of the night, my body once again uncontrollably sprang out of bed.
Then, in a daze, I walked in a certain direction.
A moment later, she stood at the door of Ye Chen's room again...
