Chapter 39 Inconsistency Between Words and Actions
Before the two men supporting Ruan Yi could turn around, Chen Xun had already flashed forward and precisely chopped the man on the left at the back of the neck with his elbow.
The man who was hit stopped moving abruptly and fell to the ground with a thud. He spun around and kicked another man, sending him flying into the metal frame. That man also fell silent.
The other kidnappers had already carried their bloodied leader away and fled.
Only her and Shen Xun's panting remained in the warehouse.
How could Shen Xun appear so quickly? Her mind was in complete chaos, and the pain in her body was constant.
Moreover, the kidnapper who hated her so much seemed to know Shen Xun very well, and might even be a little afraid of Shen Xun, or rather... he was wary of the Shen family.
Wearing such a grotesque hood, you can't see anything at all. The only thing you can tell is... that person has a little thinning hair.
"How could you get here so quickly? The kidnapper just made the ransom call." Ruan Yi was genuinely puzzled.
If this were a melodramatic novel, it would take five or six chapters to write the plot. How could he just appear out of nowhere?
Chen Xun seemed a little stiff, and opened his mouth in a serious tone, "Telepathy."
“You’re crazy.” Ruan Yi coldly rejected his reasoning.
"Of course, it's because they sent people to monitor her."
The man was glad that he had sent someone to monitor Ruan Yi. Otherwise, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of grievances Ruan Yi would have suffered if he had arrived any later.
He knelt on one knee, wiped away the tears from the girl's eyelashes with his fingertips, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, and in two quick movements he untied the knot on her wrist.
Warm palms stroked the bruises on Ruan Yi's calves from the kick.
"It hurts so much, don't touch me!" Actually, Shen Xun didn't use any force at all, but the kidnapper kicked her so hard that even a light touch would hurt her a lot.
Thinking of the grievances she had just suffered, she wanted to vent all her anger on Shen Xun, but before she could even speak, tears started falling one by one.
She was suddenly pulled into the man's arms.
Shen Xun buried his face in her hair, his arms encircling her so tightly they were almost suffocating.
"I thought something had happened to you." The man's voice was muffled and hoarse.
Saying such unlucky things is like cursing her.
Ruan Yi sobbed uncontrollably, unable to break free from the man's embrace.
Enraged, she reached out to his gaunt waist and abdomen, wanting to pinch his flesh, but the man's abdomen was all firm muscle, and she could only pull off a layer of skin. So she became even angrier and cried even harder.
"Is she touching me, hinting at something?"
"But she's still crying...what does that mean?"
The man's calloused palm gently kneaded her soft waist, stroking it back and forth, as if trying to respond to and comfort the girl in his arms.
But in Ruan Yi's eyes, this was a blatant provocation.
What does he mean?! Is Shen Xun mocking her for being too plump to be pinched?
Noticing Shen Xun's increasingly outrageous actions, Ruan Yi was furious and struggled to push him away, but tears involuntarily streamed down her face.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault for provoking me with the engagement party!"
The girl choked up, her voice breaking into broken sentences.
"If you don't provoke me, I won't go out to find a solution. If I don't go out, I won't want to eat ice cream. If I don't eat ice cream, I won't be kidnapped. If I'm not kidnapped, I won't be kicked!"
So it's like you kicked me!
She successfully shifted the blame onto Shen Xun's head.
"Me?" Shen Xun pointed at himself, somewhat bewildered.
"What? Who told you to force me to get married!" Her tone was incredibly self-righteous.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Xun finally spoke.
"You really don't want to marry me?"
"So what if it is!" Ruan Yi had just finished speaking when she felt the man's hand around her waist suddenly freeze.
The man's eyes seemed to hold only a cold, stagnant pool, and his body temperature instantly plummeted to freezing.
The arm that had been tightly gripping her waist loosened by half an inch, but the knuckles turned white from the force of his suppressed anger.
“Say it again.” Every word he uttered seemed to be ground out from between his teeth, carrying a suppressed aura.
Ruan Yi raised her tear-reddened face, and the young lady immediately became angry, but insisted on pushing away his chest and standing still.
I said—I don't want to!
Before she could finish speaking, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her calf, which had been kicked by the hooded kidnapper. Her knee buckled, and Ruan Yi fell uncontrollably downwards.
In her panic, she could only instinctively hook her arms around the man's neck, her fingers clutching his collar, teetering on the edge of collapsing from weakness, afraid of hurting her calves again.
As Shen Xun watched the girl frantically ask him for a hug, the chill in his eyes suddenly turned into a smirk.
What should I do if my fiancée's words and actions don't match?
"So cute... I'll take it home."
"Saying one thing and meaning another..." he cursed under his breath, then suddenly pulled Ruan Yi into his arms.
"What did you say? Did you even understand what I said? And you—uh!" The cursing stopped abruptly.
"I don't understand, but I want to kiss you."
His burning lips pressed down on hers, with an irresistible sense of aggression. Ruan Yi angrily pushed against his chest, but her fingers dug into his firm muscles.
The man held her hairy head with one hand and tightly wrapped his other arm around her waist, as if he wanted to melt her whole body into his embrace.
Ruan Yi finally managed to break free from his grasp, but before she could even catch her breath and voice her accusations, he clung to her again as if he had installed a tracking device.
"Ugh!" The angry sobs and whimpers were all swallowed back.
"She actually cried from being kissed, that's practically... seduction."
Ruan Yi pushed him away with all her might, her chest heaving violently, her red eyes still glistening with tears.
Before he could react, a crisp slap landed heavily on his face, leaving a finger mark on his fair skin.
"I told you, I don't want to marry you!" Her voice was trembling with tears.
"Then just keep thinking about it."
Before the stinging pain in his cheek had subsided, he had already precisely gripped Ruan Yi's slender wrist.
Before she could struggle, a wet kiss landed on the girl's wrist bone. Thin lips lightly pecked along the bluish-purple veins, slowly moving upwards. When the tips of his teeth gently ground against the soft flesh on the inside of her arm, he could feel her trembling uncontrollably.
Ruan Yi suddenly raised her hand, intending to slap him again, but he precisely grabbed her wrist.
"Slap me once, and the wedding will be moved up a day."
Ruan Yi froze, her raised hand daring not to move an inch.
When a person is shameless enough, he becomes invincible; this Chen Xun is already invincible.
"You bastard! You're threatening me?"
“That’s right.” Shen Xun realized that he seemed to have mastered the method of handling small explosive charges.
Ruan Yishen believed that those who adapt to the times are the true heroes.
"Then I won't play. Can we schedule it for later? You have to wait until I graduate and I fully take over the Nguyen family business!"
He paused for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly. "No, it's been too long. Why should I listen to you?"
Ruan Yi took a deep breath and told herself not to get angry, because if she got angry, no one could take her place.
"Shen Xun, I'm discussing this with you."
"Give me something in return." He seemed to be speaking frankly.
What benefits could she offer Shen Xun?
“Then… I’ll allow you to meet with A-Zhi whenever you want.” Ruan Yi thought she had given him a huge benefit.
Chen Xun: ?
What's the point of him meeting with his brother-in-law all day long? Ruan Yi didn't like any of the gifts he asked his brother-in-law to send before.
"Substantial benefits."
Ruan Yi looked terrified. What exactly did this madman want to do? What would be considered substantial?
"Then what do you want? You're a lunatic!"
"Open your mouth." Shen Xun pointed to his lips.
"What...?"
His burning tongue pried open her teeth, plunged in, and greedily plundered every inch of her breath.
The punitive entanglement came crashing down on her until her legs went weak and her tongue went numb.
The real reward was her tongue.
