Chapter 114 Don't Act Cute
Before Fu Wang could finish speaking, Fu Jingchen had already lost his patience and punched Fu Wang in the face with a force that tore through the air.
The opponent was prepared and dodged to the side, but in the instant he struck the opponent's ribs with his elbow, the two of them wrestling almost instantly.
Sweat mixed with blood slid down the taut lines.
The two fought and clashed in the small space. Fu Wang's mask had fallen off, and the conference table was smashed to pieces. It was impossible to tell whose blood was splattered on the other's face and body.
Like wild beasts out of control, they fought in the most primal way, tense to the extreme every second.
Ruan Yi had been squeaking and yelling for quite a while.
From shouting "Stop hitting me!" to "If you hit me again, I'll call the police!" his voice was almost hoarse.
As a result, one of them had a bruised eye and the other had a cut on the corner of his mouth. They punched each other even harder, as if they wanted to tear each other apart.
Seeing their posture, Ruan Yi belatedly realized what was going on.
Do these two think that whoever beats the other down has to be her partner?
Is she a prize that you can take home if you win?
That anxious and agitated feeling suddenly changed. Ruan Yi shut her mouth, stopped trying to stop him, and stood there taking a deep breath.
When the two exchanged another heavy punch, hurting each other, Ruan Yi suddenly cleared her throat, her voice becoming softer, and she simply opened her mouth quietly.
"I'll count to three."
Fu Jingchen and Fu Wang paused, then looked at Ruan Yi at the same time, their faces still bearing the lingering ferocity, blood dripping from their foreheads down their jawlines.
“If anyone lays a hand on me again,” Ruan Yi said, enunciating each word clearly, “I’ll treat you like dirt from now on.”
"three--"
As soon as Ruan Yigang counted out the first number, the air froze instantly.
The two, who were about to fight to the death just a second ago, were like robots that had been paused. Their fists were still in mid-air, and they didn't dare to move at all. They even stopped breathing.
The two stood face to face, frozen in place.
Looking at the injuries on their faces, I felt both angry and heartbroken. My brows furrowed tightly as I stepped forward.
The girl raised her hand, her fair hand looking like she wasn't using much strength, and slapped Fu Wang across the face.
It's light, but clear enough.
Fu Wang was stunned. He hadn't even wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth yet, and his eyes were wide open like copper bells.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Yi moved her hand and slapped Fu Jingchen next to her.
The force was the same, light and gentle, yet just enough to make the other person's head tilt slightly.
Even the usually composed man froze, his ears inexplicably turning red, and the fierceness in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving only helplessness.
Ruan Yi withdrew her hand, her eyes wide and her mouth agape.
"Shall we continue?"
The two grown men stared intently at her, their faces bruised and battered. All their earlier fierceness had vanished, and they shook their heads in unison.
Now she's become obedient, a complete change from before. You're still angry, but you don't really intend to lose your temper.
The handprints on their faces were still slightly pink, which, combined with their injuries, made them look pitiful no matter how you looked at them.
Fu Jingchen frowned slightly, and when he looked at the girl, there was a hint of grievance in his eyes. His voice was low but clear.
"Xiao Yi, he started it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Wang covered his bleeding forehead and glared back fiercely, his tone filled with anger.
"I had my reasons for taking action!"
Their eyes clashed in the air, and the air instantly thickened with tension, as if they were about to start arguing again, or even come to blows.
“Two—” Ruan Yi calmly read out the second countdown number.
At that moment, the word "two" seemed to shut the two men's anger up as if it had been forcibly turned off, and they immediately fell silent, making the conference room completely quiet.
Ruan Yi stood up. "I'm going to get the first-aid kit. If either of you dares to start arguing again while I'm gone..."
She paused, not continuing, but her eyes held a strong warning: "No need to count to one, I will do what I say."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.
When opening the door, instead of pulling it open directly, he stood to the side.
Sure enough, as soon as the door opened a crack, several staggering sounds came from outside, and a few heads crowded at the door almost fell into the conference room.
"Wow, I never would have guessed that!" Ruan Yi glanced at them speechlessly. "Have you heard enough?"
The group immediately straightened up awkwardly and gave sheepish laughs.
"Oh, what a coincidence, Assistant Ruan... We were just passing by, just passing by."
Ruan Yicai wouldn't bother arguing with the onlookers; he turned around and went straight to get the first-aid kit.
When she returned with the first-aid kit, the meeting room was indeed very quiet.
Fu Jingchen and Fu Wang sat at opposite ends of the sofa, neither of them speaking. The atmosphere was subtle, but they did not argue anymore.
The girl's threat clearly had an effect.
Ruan Yi hesitated for a moment when she saw the injuries on the two of them.
Fu Jingchen was only slightly injured, with a small cut on the corner of his mouth. After Fu Jingchen wiped it off, the blood was no longer visible.
Fu Wangze looked much more disheveled, with some bloodstains still wet on his forehead, which was quite a gruesome sight.
Ruan Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The two were roughly the same size, but Fu Jingchen was truly ruthless. It's true that those who live longer are more cunning and know better how to kill.
Is this the legendary bloodline suppression?
The man looked up at Ruan Yi's expression as she looked at him, her little face scrunched up in a cute way as she pondered. He softened his voice, speaking in a comforting tone.
"Xiaoyi, I'm fine, it's not serious."
"I have something to do!"
Fu Wang immediately responded, his tone tinged with undisguised grievance, his gaze fixed on Ruan Yi, trying to emphasize how badly he was injured.
"It's none of Xiaoyi's business if you die."
Fu Jingchen spoke abruptly, his eyes sweeping coldly over Fu Wang, his tone undisguisedly sarcastic.
Ruan Yi sighed without replying, took out gauze and iodine, walked up to Fu Wang, and prepared to treat the more serious, still bleeding wound on his forehead.
"Fu Wang, let's talk."
She said this as she tore open the gauze package.
“I need to talk to you alone.” The man looked up and stared straight at her, his tone firm.
Ruan Yi paused, feeling a struggle within her, but then she remembered her current status. Regardless of his hidden secrets or the promises she had made...
But now that she's Fu Jingchen's girlfriend, there are some things she really should clarify with Fu Wang.
Ruan Yi nodded without refuting.
Upon hearing the phrase "talk alone," Fu Jingchen's brows furrowed instantly, and the atmosphere around him suddenly felt tense.
He stood up almost immediately, his well-defined knuckles reaching instinctively towards Ruan Yi's waist, clearly indicating his disagreement and his intention to take her away directly.
"no."
Fu Jingchen spoke, his voice as deep as ice, his gaze fixed firmly on Ruan Yi.
"Is there anything I can't say here?"
As he spoke, the man's arm was already half-encircling her waist, clearly indicating that he was about to carry her away.
Ruan Yi had no choice but to gently take his hand, her soft fingertips lightly squeezing his palm in a comforting gesture.
She turned her head to the side and spoke very softly.
"Let me explain things to him, okay?"
The man paused, looking down at Ruan Yi. The delicate touch and warmth of his palm seeped through his skin, slightly soothing the restlessness in his heart.
He remained silent, torn between not wanting her to be alone with Fu Wang and wanting to respect Xiaoyi's decision and thoughts.
A few seconds later, there was still no response.
He suddenly lowered his head, his warm breath touching her lips first.
Without any warning, the man gently bit her lower lip, not with much force, but with a gentle, caressing touch.
He deliberately turned to the side, gently cupping Ruan Yi's face with one hand and wrapping his other arm around her waist, naturally turning her body halfway around so that she was slightly facing Fu Wang.
The gesture was blatantly deliberate, as if it were made specifically for the person on the other side of the sofa.
As their lips intertwined, his tongue deliberately teased her upper palate. The touch on that already sensitive spot made Ruan Yi unable to hold back, and a suggestive moan escaped her throat.
With a slight itch and an indescribable tingling sensation, the girl's cheeks instantly flushed a light red, and the sound of their intertwined breathing was particularly noticeable in the conference room.
The man at the other end of the sofa had fingers that were almost digging into his palms, and the blood on his forehead seemed to flow faster due to the suppressed anger and jealousy.
He stared intently at the two intertwined figures, his chest churning with emotions that threatened to overwhelm his reason.
But because of the girl's threat to restrain him, he was forcibly pinned to the spot and could only watch helplessly.
It wasn't until Ruan Yi pushed against his chest several times that Fu Jingchen slowly released her, gently stroking her lips, which were reddened from the kisses, his voice seemingly carrying a small warning.
"I'll wait for Xiaoyi outside."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Fu Wang's gloomy face, his tone growing even colder.
"If this goes on for too long, I'll just come in directly."
The man gave her one last deep look before turning around and striding out.
The conference room door blocked the view from the outside, leaving only her and Fu Wang in the room, and the atmosphere instantly became awkward again.
No sooner had Fu Jingchen's figure disappeared than Fu Wang, sitting on the sofa, almost instinctively stretched out his long arm and precisely hooked Ruan Yi's waist.
With a slight pull, he brought her in front of him. Before Ruan Yi could react, he tightened his arms, holding her firmly, and buried his face almost forcefully into her lower abdomen.
The high, straight bridge of his nose pressed against the soft flesh of her stomach through the thin fabric, bringing a subtle, ticklish sensation.
The next second, the man's voice shattered, filled with a heavy sob, as fragile as a young animal soaked by the rain.
"Bad woman...you're a bad woman..."
Ruan Yi was a little breathless from his embrace. The skin on her waist and abdomen was warmed by his hot breath and rubbed against his fluffy hair. Her heart softened for no reason.
"You promised me..."
He murmured, his voice so soft it was like a mosquito's hum, yet every word clearly penetrated her ears.
"How could I be with him!"
"She's clearly my girlfriend... she's mine..."
With a choked sob at the end of his voice, he pulled Ruan Yi closer to his chest, his large hand rubbing against her waist like a wronged puppy, venting his resentment and sadness in this way.
Ruan Yi's fingertips twitched, but she didn't push him away in the end. She just whispered, "I'm sorry."
She paused, her gaze falling on the still-damp bloodstains on his forehead, and added.
“It was Fu Jingchen’s fault for threatening you before. I apologize to you on his behalf.”
"Why apologize on his behalf? What about us... are we just going to let this slide? No way!"
Ruan Yi knew that Fu Jingchen had indeed done something wrong.
But... perhaps I was too frightened by Gu Zhi, but compared to Gu Zhi's inhuman methods, Fu Jingchen's bad deeds against his love rival didn't seem so hard to accept.
Ruan Yi knew that such thoughts were strange, but she had already largely accepted the fact that men were somewhat perverse to her.
But this is absolutely unfair to Fu Wang.
She tried to gently push Fu Wang's shoulder.
"Loosen your grip a little, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, the fabric at her waist was suddenly soaked with warm breath, followed by an extremely deep kiss, which landed on her skin through the fabric with an almost painful devotion.
The man's breathing was heavy, tinged with suppressed sobs, one breath after another, as if he were making a silent accusation.
Ruan Yi stiffened, then softly called his name, "Fu Wang..."
Her voice was filled with apology and helplessness.
The movement in his arms stopped, and after a few seconds, Fu Wang slowly released his arms and looked up at her.
The man's eyes were terribly red, with moisture at the corners, like a puppy that had been bullied badly, staring at her with wet eyes, his nose also red.
His forehead was stained with blood that hadn't dried, which stood out starkly against his pale skin. Despite his disheveled appearance, his face was strikingly handsome. The combination of grievance and vulnerability gave him a strange charm that made people want to bully him.
So cute...
Ruan Yi subconsciously swallowed.
Oh no, this is too sinful! Does the Fu family have some kind of aphrodisiac in their bloodline? Each one of them is hitting her sweet spot!
Ruan Yi quickly shook her head, suppressing those inappropriate thoughts and trying to regain her composure.
"Stop acting cute, speak properly."
