Chapter 137 Oath
In the morning light outside the hospital, the tall, upright man had a rosy complexion that made it impossible to tell he was an injured patient; even his eyes were bright.
In contrast, Ruan Yi beside him was unsteady on her feet and had no strength at all.
Fu Jingchen naturally put his arm around her waist, gently kneading the soft flesh of her lower back with his fingertips, and kissed her cheek with a smile in his voice.
"Are you going back to NovaVoy? Even if you want to rest, can you lie down in our office? I want to watch over Xiaoyi."
Ruan Yi reached out and slapped his hand away.
"Haven't you seen enough yet?!"
The man grasped her wrist, pulled her closer to his chest, and whispered in her ear.
"We couldn't get enough of watching. If Xiaoyi hadn't cried nonstop afterwards, and nothing we did could have comforted her, it wouldn't have ended so quickly..."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Yi's ears turned bright red, and she felt like her head was about to explode.
The guilt she felt towards Fu Jingchen vanished without a trace.
Judging from this situation, if she hides even the slightest wrongdoing, he will eventually take it all back from her in bed, with interest.
However... they both quite enjoyed the way they got their money back.
If he could restrain himself a bit each time and reduce the time to one-third, it would be perfect.
"Okay, I'll go home first to change my clothes and rest for a while, then I'll go to the company this afternoon."
Given all that, Ruan Yi had long since given up the idea of proving whether Fu Jingchen had any intention of killing her.
Gu Zhi and Pei Lian are completely fabricated!
Being with Fu Jingchen, the only way to die would probably be being "drained" by him time and time again.
The young couple lingered outside the hospital for a long time until she repeatedly assured him that she was going home to rest and would be at the company on time in the afternoon. Only then did the man reluctantly let go of her hand and turn away after watching her car drive away.
We quickly returned to the seaside villa.
After taking a shower, Ruan Yi was so sleepy that her eyelids were drooping. She had been through a lot last night and thought that she could catch up on a nap when she got back to the company in the afternoon.
Just as I wrapped myself in the blanket, a pair of slightly cool hands suddenly pressed against my lower back.
Her mind went blank, and her anger flared up instantly. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Go to hell! You damned Gu Zhi!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her fist through the blanket and slammed it hard against the head that was protruding from the blanket behind her.
With a muffled thud, a man's cry of pain immediately came from under the covers.
Ruan angrily threw off the covers, ready to unleash a torrent of curses, but suddenly gasped in shock.
What is this Gu Zhi?
The man lying in the blanket had an excessively delicate face, and his silver-white hair was spread out on the pillow.
Pei Lian rubbed his forehead, which had been hit, a smile still on his lips: "That was really ruthless."
Ruan Yi was completely speechless.
This bitch just got stabbed by Gu Zhi, who inexplicably forced her to prove something baseless, and now she has the audacity to climb into her bed and act all innocent with a smile.
Did her and Fu Jingchen's home become a den of thieves?
The security in this wealthy villa area of the US isn't that great either!
People are breaking into my bed every day; if this keeps up, it'll turn into a wild duck farm.
"Three, two, one—"
Pei Lian showed no reaction to the girl's countdown, continuing to look at her tenderly, even moving closer to her, his voice ambiguous and deep.
"Has he not been home for days? The bed is full of...your scent."
Ruan Yi was so provoked by these words that her scalp tingled. Without thinking, she punched him in the abdomen where Gu Zhi had stabbed him.
Pei Lian's face turned pale instantly, and he gasped in pain, hissing as a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was in great pain.
The man clutched his abdomen and curled up, his face, which had been smiling just moments before, now filled with pain. A few seconds later, he fell completely silent.
Ruan Yi stared at his motionless figure, her heart skipping a beat.
"Damn! Is that really possible? I don't have that much strength!"
Ruan Yi tentatively pushed Pei Lian's arm, but there was no response. She then patted his back forcefully several times, but he still didn't budge.
Ruan Yi panicked. After all, the other person was a patient with knife wounds. She trembled as she put her fingers under his nose, her voice shaking slightly.
"Hey, Pei Lian! Are you still alive? If you're going to die, die somewhere else, don't die in my bed!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and the next second she was pulled into the man's arms.
His warm breath brushed against her ear, his voice soft and seductive, almost eerie.
"You won't die. You haven't even slept with me yet, how could I bear to die?"
Ruan Yi was so angry that she trembled all over. She stood up and raised her hand to slap the man across the face. Several slaps were crisp and loud.
Seeing Pei Lian's delicate cheeks quickly turn red and even swell slightly, yet he showed no anger, and the same unchanging smile remained on his lips.
Ruan Yi felt a chill creep up from the bottom of her heart, and her hair stood on end.
A man's gentle demeanor may be hard to break through, but it is also extremely superficial.
Whether it was his calm after being beaten, or his almost obsessive yet gentle demeanor when he was dragged onto the operating table earlier.
Everything was shrouded in a perfect disguise, like a cannibal in a movie who always appears gentle before revealing his true nature, yet is full of eeriness.
"Speak, what do you want?"
The man watched her shrink back while speaking fiercely, clearly afraid but deliberately pretending to be tough.
"I already have one duck, and I'm not taking any more, you're out of spots!"
Pei Lian naturally knew who she was referring to as a "gigolo" and a "pervert." A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he still smiled gently.
"I'm not here to be a gigolo." He leaned forward, his voice softening.
“I’m just worried about you, Ruan Yi… You said we’re good friends, and as a friend, I’m just afraid someone might hurt you…”
“You look like the one who would kill me!” Ruan Yi interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
The man didn't refute, but chuckled softly.
"That's true."
"After all, that's exactly what I did in my past life."
"Prove to me that you promised to use a man to test Fu Jingchen. As long as you do it, I will stop bothering you."
"I've already said it, you can't!" Ruan Yi frowned, her tone resolute, not understanding why the other party was so persistent.
"Even if you need to prove something or put on an act, it's not your turn."
The man's lips drooped, looking disappointed, and his voice carried a hint of grievance.
"Yeah, I know... What about Fu Wang, whom you mentioned before? You've already said it, you can't go back on your word, can you?"
Pei Lian changed the subject, raising his eyebrows.
"Or do you enjoy me clinging to you?"
These words almost made Ruan Yi faint from anger.
That accusation of playing hard to get is way too much!
Ruan Yi clenched her fists and glared at him fiercely.
"Swear! Swear that if I prove it, you'll never bother me again! If you go back on your word, then..."
Before she could finish speaking, Pei Lian immediately interrupted without the slightest hesitation.
“I swear, if you prove that Fu Jingchen has no intention of harming you, I will never bother you again, and I will never let you see me again.”
"If I go back on my word, may I suffer a terrible misfortune and die a horrible death, how about that?"
Ruan Yi was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I mean it!"
After saying that, the man extended his little finger towards her, a gentle smile in his eyes.
Ruan Yi frowned as she looked at the slender, white fingers. "You want to pinky swear? How childish..."
After hesitating for two seconds, she awkwardly extended her little finger and hooked it with his. The moment their fingertips touched, the smile in the man's eyes deepened.
Winning Ruan Yi's heart may be very difficult.
But his friend, whom he's "driven crazy" for years... he's succeeded once, and he won't fail a second time.
When Ruan Yi chased him away, Pei Lian left swiftly, climbing over the windowsill with agile movements and disappearing in a few moments.
Ruan Yi stood there dumbfounded, secretly vowing to lock the French windows next time.
Ruan Yi slumped her shoulders. Deep down, she didn't want to test Fu Jingchen, but the thought of Pei Lian's persistent harassment forced her to bite the bullet and do it anyway.
If she could prove it, not only would Pei Lian keep his vow and leave, but Fu Wang would also give up and never get hurt by her again. Who knows, even Gu Zhi's attitude might be more restrained.
Then we can sit down with Shen Xun and talk things out, and break off the engagement. It would be a happy ending for everyone.
But problems followed.
She couldn't go too far and get accused of having an affair for no reason, nor could she just go through the motions. What if those three people denied it? Wouldn't all her efforts have been in vain?
She had to find a way to let Fu Jingchen know that she and Fu Wang "had something going on," but also to make him handle the situation calmly.
Although Ruan Yi felt that Fu Jingchen would never hurt her no matter what, she couldn't resist the possibility that a man might break up with her because he couldn't stand being cheated on.
What if I lose my wonderful boyfriend after testing him?
Ruan Yi sat on the edge of the bed, tossing and turning in her mind for a long time, but she couldn't find a feasible excuse. Her head was buzzing and throbbing with pain.
After staring blankly at the ceiling for a long time, unable to come up with any solutions, I simply grabbed my phone and searched for "how to test your boyfriend".
The results were all some crazy ideas, and after flipping through two pages, she thought they were unreliable and casually clicked on a short video.
After swiping a few times, a video suddenly appeared on the screen with the title "A surprise for my girlfriend, she cried tears of happiness!"
In the video, the guy pretends to book a hotel room but deliberately leaves out his location. His girlfriend rushes to the hotel to catch him cheating, only to find it pitch black and strange noises inside. She almost stabs him in a fit of rage.
But when the lights suddenly came on, the room was filled with balloons, roses were on the floor, and the boy was standing in the middle holding a ring. The cheating incident turned into a surprise marriage proposal.
Ruan Yi's eyes lit up. Although this method was vulgar and outrageous, it was suitable for her current situation.
She hadn't actually done anything wrong, and she could test Fu Jingchen's reaction. Even if he found out, she could easily say that she was deliberately trying to surprise him.
Anyway, given Fu Jingchen's personality, even if he's angry, he'll only punish her in bed, and then the matter will be over.
What's even more ingenious is that the video can be recorded both outside the corridor and inside the room, which can not only make Pei Lian, Fu Wang, and Gu Zhi give up after seeing the "evidence," but also use the surprise to warm up the relationship with her boyfriend.
Ruan Yi thought about it more and more and felt that the idea was perfect, and couldn't help but slap her thigh.
"I'm a genius!"
