Chapter 82: Fleeing but Caught on the Seventh Day (End of Main Text)
Xie Ruan attended Grandpa Pei's birthday banquet in the last few days of autumn.
Grandpa Pei is celebrating his 76th birthday, and many people from all walks of life in the elite circle have been invited. In fact, Pei Zhi doesn't like attending banquets.
But no one would miss Grandpa's birthday.
Since even Pei Zhi didn't miss his grandfather's birthday, Xie Ruan naturally wouldn't miss it either.
After carefully preparing the gift, Xie Ruan went to the banquet without any suspicion.
Grandpa was really exaggerated. Not only did he announce that Xie Ruan was Pei Zhi's girlfriend, but he also had to introduce him to everyone.
Xie Ruan was completely unprepared. Because she had completely blocked Zhou Jingchi, Ji Ye, and Wen Hezhou, she naturally assumed that this kind of occasion was more like a family gathering and that they wouldn't be there.
Unexpectedly, just as his grandfather was introducing him to countless business tycoons who dominated the business world, his grandfather led him to Wen Hezhou and Ji Ye.
Xie Ruan was too socially awkward; he didn't look up and naturally didn't see Wen Hezhou and Ji Ye's faces clearly.
Just listening to her grandfather's kind introduction: "Ruan Ruan, this is the Wen family's son and the Ji family's son. Our families have been friends for generations. It would be good for you to get to know them so they can take good care of you."
Xie Ruan's fingers curled up slightly.
Perhaps it's because he's been staying in the villa for too long, but he gets goosebumps whenever he hears names like Wen, Ji, or Zhou.
Xie Ruan thought, those three people probably won't come back.
Xie Ruan looked up and forced a smile, but before he could finish thinking about it, his grandfather said that it was too much to ask the big boss to take care of him, since he had no connection with the big boss at all. Just as he looked up, he bumped into Wen Hezhou's unusual smile and Ji Ye's completely dark face.
Xie Ruan turned to look at her grandfather for help, but her grandfather acted as if he hadn't seen anything and patted Xie Ruan on the shoulder: "Little Ruan, you young people can chat more."
Shall we chat...?
Xie Ruan was drenched in sweat.
When Xie Ruan was pushed over by her grandfather, tears were about to fall.
Pei Zhi!
Where did Pei Zhi go?!
no.
Xie Ruan trembled as she watched her kind grandfather lift his foot and leave to talk to the elders of the Wen family.
No!
Xie Ruan extended her hand.
Grandpa, don't abandon him.
He doesn't want to be with this group of people.
Xie Ruan was trembling uncontrollably.
To my utter surprise, before I could even react, Ji Ye forcefully grabbed my wrist.
Xie Ruan dared not look at Ji Ye, but with Ji Ye forcibly gripping her chin, she had no choice but to lift it and look directly at him.
Ji Ye exuded a hint of hostility. "Just now, the person the Pei family introduced Pei Zhi to, was it you? Aruan, was that a joke?"
Ji Ye had dark circles under his eyes.
His prolonged lack of sleep made him look noticeably more haggard.
Xie Ruan trembled all over.
Before Xie Ruan could figure out how to answer the question, Wen Hezhou suddenly and silently put his hand on her shoulder: "Ruan, have a drink, let's go over there and talk as we walk."
Xie Ruan felt a sudden weight pressing down on her shoulders.
Xie Ruan was completely out of control. When he came to his senses, he was being escorted to the sofa.
Wen Hezhou sat opposite him as if he were interrogating a criminal.
Legs crossed.
The pressure made Xie Ruan lower his head even further.
Wen Hezhou's gaze was cold, but it wasn't directed at Xie Ruan; rather, it was at Pei Zhi, whose words he enunciated with extreme emphasis: "Pei... Zhi, did I bully you?"
Ji Ye: "I'll go and take him down."
Ji Ye raised his fist and was about to leave, but Xie Ruan timidly grabbed his clothes.
Although Xie Ruan sometimes felt that Pei Zhi was clingy and had the urge to kick him away, he was still Pei Zhi's boyfriend, after all.
Xie Ruande admitted: "I did it voluntarily."
Wen Hezhou and Ji Ye: "..."
The room was extremely quiet, and Xie Ruan even felt cold all over, as if all the air pressure had been suppressed, making it hard to breathe and chilling her to the bone.
Xie Ruan had thought she would only be facing the two of them.
But when he turned around to run away, he saw someone who had clearly drunk a lot of alcohol...
Zhou Jingchi.
An even more troublesome person has arrived.
Xie Ruan saw that Zhou Jingchi's eyes were red, and he seemed to be in a lot of pain.
Zhou Jingchi completely ignored Ji Ye and Wen Hezhou. He deeply regretted not catching up with Pei Zhi that day, and not finding Xie Ruan's whereabouts during this time. He blamed himself countless times for his uselessness, and what was even more useless was that Zhou Jingchi couldn't accept seeing Xie Ruan again and hearing the news that he was with Pei Zhi.
Zhou Jingchi admitted that he was indeed not as capable as Pei Zhi.
But, do you really need those cold, hard skills to be in a relationship?
In Zhou Jingchi's eyes, Pei Zhi was a cold-hearted and emotionless person. Zhou Jingchi took a deep breath; he was very afraid that Xie Ruan would get hurt.
Whether it's being suddenly abandoned and feeling helpless.
Even after marriage, she was still alone and lonely.
Zhou Jingchi sullenly dragged Xie Ruan away.
In Xie Ruan's memory, Zhou Jingchi was always very gentle. Although he was like a big puppy and didn't know his own strength, he was always very careful and tried his best not to hurt her.
But this time it's different.
...
There was no one in the corner of the balcony. Zhou Jingchi hugged Xie Ruan from behind, like a helpless big dog, his eyes red as he looked at Xie Ruan.
Zhou Jingchi's voice was tinged with helplessness and grievance: "Aruan, did he threaten you...? He won't take better care of you than I do. I like you too, but he hasn't shown it. I was the first person among them to know you. Why didn't he choose me? Why didn't he choose me in the dating show? I'll give you ten million, however many times you like me. You like money, so you can keep all my money, okay?"
Zhou Jingchi: "You should break up with him."
Zhou Jingchi's voice grew hoarse as he spoke. He was behind Xie Ruan, his neck and shoulders pressed together, so Xie Ruan couldn't see him.
But for some reason, Xie Ruan felt that Zhou Jingchi seemed to be crying. He wasn't sure because he hadn't heard any unusual sounds, but he did feel that his neck and shoulders were a little wet.
It's very mild.
Xie Ruan sensed that Zhou Jingchi's breathing had become cautious, making him unable to figure him out.
Xie Ruan was still pondering how to answer Zhou Jingchi when a pair of large hands suddenly pried Zhou Jingchi apart. Xie Ruan felt a powerful force separating him from Zhou Jingchi.
Zhou Jingchi frowned as he looked at the man.
The man hid Xie Ruan behind his back.
Zhou Jingchi: "Pei Zhi, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Jingchi was clearly displeased.
Pei Zhi felt a chill run down his spine. "Ruan Ruan is my boyfriend."
Pei Zhi: "You scared him."
Zhou Jingchi was inexplicably annoyed: "You're the one who scared A-Ruan, aren't you? You don't know how to take care of him at all."
Pei Zhi threw a punch.
Zhou Jingchi clearly hadn't expected Pei Zhi to do this.
Zhou Jingchi was already somewhat drunk and not fully conscious.
After being punched by Pei Zhi, her eyes welled up with tears of grievance.
Zhou Jingchi didn't feel pain, but rather felt that he was incompetent for letting Pei Zhi steal Xie Ruan away.
Zhou Jingchi reached out to pull him.
Pei Zhi coldly warned, "You're the one who hurt him with that punch."
Zhou Jingchi was taken aback, and when he turned his head, he saw Xie Ruan's wrist, which was red from being gripped by him.
Pei Zhi's voice was so cold that no emotion could be discerned: "His and mine, don't bother me."
Who is harassing us?
Before Zhou Jingchi could say anything more, Pei Zhi had already taken Xie Ruan's hand and left the banquet.
Xie Ruan was forced into the car by Pei Zhi.
Xie Ruan pursed her lips.
There was no driver. Pei Zhi sat in the driver's seat, and Xie Ruan sat in the passenger seat. But Xie Ruan felt that when Pei Zhi let go of him to open the door, his fingers seemed to tighten slightly.
Pei Zhi remained silent, the darkness making his aura even more distant.
Xie Ruan twisted her fingers, only stealing timid glances at Pei Zhi's expression.
Then, unable to figure it out, I subconsciously turned my head to look at the constantly shifting lights and scenery on the road.
When we arrived at our doorstep...
Xie Ruan pursed her lips and swallowed. "Pei Zhi... I... um..."
As her boyfriend, he should probably offer some comfort.
Although this was Xie Ruan's first relationship, his agreement to Pei Zhi's relationship wasn't entirely impulsive. He agreed because he was certain that he truly liked Pei Zhi, and not someone else. Xie Ruan took a deep breath: "I don't..." like them.
Before Xie Ruan could speak, the other person's soft lips pressed against hers.
Xie Ruan's face was gently lifted by the man, and kisses, more complex than usual, fell upon her. Xie Ruan was pushed against the car door, pressed against the narrow space, and the kisses made it even harder for her to breathe.
Xie Ruan had her head held by one hand and her back touched by the other. Xie Ruan was already easily sensitive, and being touched by Mo made her body even hotter and more burning.
The faint minty scent on Pei Zhi couldn't dispel the heat in the slightest.
Xie Ruan instinctively shoved the man.
I couldn't push it away even after several attempts.
Pei Zhi was clearly very tall and didn't seem to be the type like Zhou Jingchi who trained intensely, but... Xie Ruan couldn't break free either.
When Xie Ruan was so breathless from the kiss that she tried to push him away, she received a response from Pei Zhi.
Xie Ruan thought it was over, but before he could even react, he was suddenly lifted up in a princess carry.
Today they didn't go back to the old house, but to the villa next door where Pei Zhi lived.
Even though Xie Ruan knew there were no outsiders in the house, she was still suddenly embraced tightly by the garden. When she entered the house, she blushed silently and pressed her face against the man's chest, as if afraid that others would see her.
Xie Ruan: "...Can you put me down?"
Xie Ruan's voice carried a hint of coquetry.
His voice was soft and gentle.
Pei Zhi suddenly downed a glass of wine, which startled him.
Xie Ruan didn't know what Pei Zhi was suppressing by drinking, but she didn't find the faint scent of red wine on him repulsive...
Xie Ruan was held in Pei Zhi's arms with one hand. By the time Pei Zhi put down his wine glass, Xie Ruan had already been taken to the elevator by Pei Zhi and headed towards the room.
Wait!
Why is this Pei Zhi's room?
Xie Ruan struggled with her legs, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Pei Zhi did not let go of him.
It wasn't until they were on the bed that Xie Ruan felt Pei Zhi release her.
For some reason, he felt that Pei Zhi was in a bad mood.
Pei Zhi is a repressed person.
It looked indestructible, but when he was put down, he remained suspended in mid-air for a long time.
I don't know if it's just my imagination.
A scene suddenly flashed into Xie Ruan's mind.
He had a feeling that Pei Zhi was about to cry.
Moreover, the night was dim and the indoor lights were not very bright, and Xie Ruan felt that Pei Zhi's eyes seemed a little wet.
Aside from this uncertain illusion, Xie Ruan did not notice any other signs that the man might be crying.
Xie Ruan suddenly felt uneasy.
Pei Zhi was by nature a repressed person.
Probably not...
Are you really going to cry?
Xie Ruan didn't know how to comfort him, but she trembled subconsciously for a while, and then grabbed Pei Zhi's tie, which had fallen down as he was supporting himself with his arm.
?
Pei Zhi, whose body was noticeably larger than his, was taken aback.
Xie Ruan brought Pei Zhi down.
Xie Ruan, who was a size smaller than Pei Zhi, hugged Pei Zhi's broad back.
They were too close; Xie Ruan never took the initiative.
The close proximity caused his Adam's apple to bob slightly involuntarily.
I don't know if it was because the lighting was too dim or the atmosphere was too strong.
Or perhaps he was genuinely afraid that Pei Zhi would be upset.
I don't know why, but I opened my mouth without thinking—
"Don't cry."
"I am yours."
...
Pei Zhi remained silent.
Xie Ruan thought Pei Zhi was angry, so she pointed her finger and tugged at the fabric of Pei Zhi's shirt in a coquettish manner, but unexpectedly, Pei Zhi's shirt seemed to be of poor quality.
Xie Ruan thought she hadn't used much force, but she still managed to rip off the button.
Several buttons on Pei Zhi's chest suddenly popped off, revealing his broad chest.
...
Xie Ruan's mind went blank.
It looks so nice to touch.
For some reason, Xie Ruan suddenly made her move.
Feel it so good...
Xie Ruan pinched it, but Pei Zhi didn't seem to mind. Instead, he chuckled and raised an eyebrow, then unbuttoned his shirt.
?
etc.
So generous?
Xie Ruan initially thought it was just a top.
Unexpectedly, the belt snapped.
wrong.
That's not right.
Xie Ruan has gone mad.
She frantically covered her face.
But her fingers still managed to sneak out a little gap.
Are you all men taking a look? That seems like a good option?
The man stopped what he was doing.
“Ruan Ruan”.
?
"You just said you're mine."
"right……"
"Then I am yours too."
"?"
"You want me."
?
Xie Ruan blinked.
It seems there's no problem.
Xie Ruan was too naive. She had never been to school and didn't understand the nuances of language. She just thought it seemed fine and nodded subconsciously.
But unexpectedly.
"Clatter".
The lights are off.
? ? ?
Xie Ruan was still bewildered.
Then I heard the sound of the fabric hitting the ground.
etc……
Before Xie Ruan could react, his hand was suddenly grabbed by the man, and his clothes were undone one after another.
wrong.
This is not a normal speed!?
Xie Ruan's mind went blank.
Pei Zhi's voice suddenly came close to his ear: "Where did he touch you?"
Xie Ruan's brain went blank. She wanted to ask who he was asking, but she was afraid that Pei Zhi would get angry if she did, so she could only subconsciously point to her waist.
Unexpectedly, the man leaned over and, as if cleaning him, kissed the places he had been touched.
And not just there.
And the forehead, the tip of the nose, the eyes, the cheeks, the thin lips...
Pei Zhi walked down to his shoulders.
To Xie Ruan's...
ankle.
Xie Ruan trembled all over.
Her originally fair skin naturally had a faint pinkish tint.
Xie Ruan was already much thinner, and Pei Zhi placed his hand inside his waist, completely encircling him. His thin lips brushed against Xie Ruan's sensitive ear: "Here, here... it's all mine."
Pei Zhi's palm was burning hot, and his voice, husky as he asserted his ownership, made one feel his unquestionable authority even more acutely: "Only I can touch you...only my boyfriend can. I won't give them a chance to take advantage of me."
Pei Zhi kissed her deeply, a kiss that was too passionate. The passionate kiss dispelled Xie Ruan's momentary hesitation and unease, leaving Xie Ruan with a vague feeling of tension in her nerves.
Xie Ruan's breathing became completely disordered.
Pei Zhi's fingers lightly brushed against Xie Ruan's skin, and Xie Ruan subconsciously curled up her legs and trembled slightly.
My breathing became very erratic.
Pei Zhi: "Want it?"
Xie Ruan knew that she might be able to escape unscathed.
But I don't know why...
He didn't want to.
It would be too awkward to ask Xie Ruan to express his opinion.
He kissed him deeply, his fingers leaving warmth on the man's back.
The sheets were crumpled, and only shallow breathing remained.
And kisses that were becoming increasingly possessive.
The next day, seeing the mess and Xie Ruan covered in hickeys with a slight back pain, she suddenly realized what had happened, pulled up the covers, and kicked Pei Zhi.
so.
I am yours!
Is that what you mean?!
*
The red marks couldn't be covered up at all.
Xie Ruan originally planned to rest for a few days and then come down, but unexpectedly Pei Zhi seemed to have a sex addiction. He was usually very abstinent, but once he started having sex, he became completely unrestrained.
Xie Ruan always secretly complained online.
During the time they spent together, Xie Ruan used the time to study and was admitted to her ideal university, University A.
Xie Ruan had already clearly rejected several people, but unexpectedly, even though Xie Ruan was in a relationship, Zhou Jingchi, Ji Ye, and Wen Hezhou still said, as if they had specially coordinated their statements, that they would always be Xie Ruan's older brothers, and that it was normal for an older brother to take his younger brother to school and take care of him.
Therefore, when Xie Ruan was sent to school by three big stars, it naturally became a trending topic.
Fortunately, the trending topic quickly died down, and Xie Ruan gradually regained her normal school routine.
Later, Xie Ruan wasn't busy with school either. He tried doing live streams without showing his face, sharing life tips online, and opened his own account.
I originally thought the results would be dismal, but the traffic was surprisingly good.
Later on.
Xie Ruan's life was always filled with the lively provocations of the crowd in the chaotic scene, leaving her feeling helpless.
Xie Ruan even overheard Zhou Jingchi drunk and rambling, saying that he and Pei Zhi would eventually have a chance, and that he would have his chance then.
Xie Ruan was helpless.
They assumed that Zhou Jingchi and the others would soon lose interest.
I'll give up then.
Xie Ruan was unaware that he didn't know Zhou Jingchi that well.
Based on Zhou Jingchi and Ji Ye's personalities, when Xie Ruan and Pei Zhi get married, they will probably still make a scene and try to snatch Xie Ruan back, just like they are now.
Xie Ruan gathered with everyone at the end of the year.
The gathering lasted from autumn until after the New Year.
Pei Zhi set off a huge fireworks display throughout the city.
The lively party gradually ended as everyone drank more and more, and then fell asleep.
Only Xie Ruan secretly pulled Pei Zhi out from the crowd of people who were all drunk.
The fireworks display wasn't over yet.
Xie Ruan held Pei Zhi's hand.
He kissed Pei Zhi under the fireworks.
The kiss ended.
A new year.
It's coming soon too.
He and Pei Zhi.
With everyone, and countless New Years to spend together.
While everyone else was asleep, Xie Ruan held Pei Zhi's hand tightly and thought to herself.

Author's Note: [Hugs] ~ Happy New Year and Happy New Year's Day, my lovely ladies!
In the new year, Juanbao will be updating a lot more!
New articles to be published by Daidaijuanbao this month:
"Cosplaying a nun but treated like a pet in the confessional goes viral"
On the eve of her debut, Yu Yin was sidelined.
With no fame, no savings, and a small internet cafe owner, Yu Yin is truly pitiful.
A single test led Yu Yin back to her newly established great cause—
Male livestreamer who skirts the edge of reality.
Yu Yin: (staring.JPG) ...
Internet cafe owner: ... (Why do I feel a chill down my spine...? It's creepy...)
So, the next day—
A netizen stumbled upon Yu Yin, who was forced to cosplay as a nun.
Is the anchor male or female?
"Why isn't the host saying anything?"
"Why isn't the streamer drinking any water and just sitting still?"
Netizens persisted in asking questions.
Finally, I saw the small sign for Yu Yin's live stream room in the prominent bottom right corner.
[Vote with a little heart and drink water]
[Give ten little hearts and you'll get a bottle of mineral water]
[Send a vote to make a hot air balloon heart]
[One reply is allowed for each vote at the Carnival event]
[You can ask a question once for every ten Carnival votes you participate in.]
Netizens exclaimed that this was too outrageous.
Those who flaunt their supposed superiority, making a carnival out of every word! Only a fool would fall for that!
Netizens flooded the screen with complaints, and to everyone's surprise, the "idiots" they were talking about appeared—and there was more than one of them.
"I confess, my dog is so depressed, it must be because the canned food I give him doesn't taste good. Does the host have any recommendations?"
"I confess, my dog hasn't been going out lately, it seems like he's depressed..."
One by one, the men confessed.
Yu Yin, however, resembled a devout nun, speaking very little: "Change your precious canned food to hot food."
Yu Yin: "Give up your high-paid nanny and your expensive dog leash, and go walk your dog."
Netizens found it outrageous.
The responses were overwhelmingly positive: "See?! The money was completely stolen!! I always say never to vote for these kinds of streamers who scam money and use gimmicks again! I think streamers should just be honest and upright; if they're going to do something borderline, they should just do it borderline!!"
But not long after, netizens commented: "My friend asked me why I suddenly slapped myself while watching a live stream, sob sob... I can only say that the streamer slapped me in the face, the streamer is amazing, it hurts so much..."
"You're feeding your dog 368 yuan cans of herring as its main meal, and you've bought several warehouses' worth!? Are you wasting money or abusing your dog!? Your dog is so desperate it can't even lift its head!"
"Is this moral decay or a distortion of human nature? Who walks their dog with an eight-kilogram gold necklace?!"
...
Later on.
The Association to Protect Yu Yin was established.
There are more smart owners now.
Even the rich and foolish top-ranking men got into a fight.
*
Yu Yin watched the fire in the backyard with a blank expression.
As netizens have also learned, Yu Yin is a willful person.
Not only when the top-ranked users were frantically sending hearts, but also when, after calmly taking the tenth sip of water, I casually said: "I'm done."
Even when netizens were having fun and asking Yu Yin who she liked more at the carnival.
Calmly replied: Number one.
Everyone thought that Yu Yin's materialistic and pretentious persona would make the older brothers leave in anger.
But the next second—
The top-ranked users got into a fight over the Carnival.
Backstage.
It's been flooded with posts.
