Chapter 33 (First Release)
Hearing the words "hope someone will come to save you," Ning Wanwan's heart tightened even more.
Clearly, Zhao Rui wouldn't let her off easily at this point.
We need to distract him.
Ning Wanwan was looking for an opportunity, constantly recalling Zhao Rui's performance in the story. Suddenly, she grasped something and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Lin Ruowei will find out?"
"I'm afraid she'll find out," Zhao Rui clicked his tongue in disdain.
Ning Wanwan paused for a moment, then calmly said, "Haven't you always wanted to win Lin Ruowei's heart? Haven't you always wanted the Lin family's support?"
"You've persisted in pursuing Lin Ruowei for so long, haven't you? Now you're giving up just because of me, a 'poor person' you look down on? Are you really willing to accept that?"
Ning Wanwan emphasized a particular word, knowing that with Zhao Rui's personality, there was no way he would ever truly value a girl whose money and family background were far inferior to his.
Zhao Rui indeed fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.
Ning Wanwan's eyes lit up when she saw that it was working. Despite her annoyance, she continued to whisper, "Besides, Lin Ruowei didn't get anything from Jiang's last time. Isn't this your best chance?"
You two are a match made in heaven, hurry up and get together instead of bothering others.
"So why do you need to focus your attention on other people..."
“I do want to pursue Lin Ruowei.” Zhao Rui, who had been listening to her, suddenly interrupted her at this moment.
"And they really look down on everyone else."
He stepped back slightly, but his arms and legs still firmly restrained Ning Wanwan.
He squinted and curled the corners of his mouth, looking at the girl who was completely subdued by him, her body tense and powerless.
“Then you…” Even though Zhao Rui had so bluntly admitted her words, Ning Wanwan had a bad feeling.
Zhao Rui's smile widened.
“However, I now feel as if you have already stepped out of the ranks of ‘others’.”
"It's really strange. I used to find your fawning and ingratiating face annoying."
Zhao Rui was clearly smiling when he spoke, but his tone turned slightly serious. Ning Wanwan had a strange feeling that Zhao Rui seemed very serious.
However, Zhao Rui's subsequent flippant remarks quickly shattered this illusion.
"Or, why don't you try to please me again? Maybe I'll suddenly lose interest in you again?"
Zhao Rui said with a teasing smile, looking very pleased.
He leaned closer and offered his advice earnestly: "For example, like before, pretend it wasn't intentional and fall into my arms, trying to create a scene where you accidentally kiss me to seduce me."
"Maybe this time I'll be seduced by you."
Ning Wanwan pursed her lips and turned her head away: "..."
Are you sick in the head?!
Zhao Rui looked at the girl's face full of rejection, his frivolous smile vanished instantly, his face darkened, and his rising tone instantly turned somber.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you don't want to seduce me right now."
"Then try kissing me. If you can't seduce me, I'll let you go right away."
Ning Wanwan: "..."
You're sick, you're sick, you're sick!
Do I look like an idiot? Putting aside the fact that I didn't do anything wrong, why would I suddenly take the initiative to kiss you and seduce you? In the end, whether I succeeded or not is all up to you!
Zhao Rui waited for a while, but the girl still didn't take the initiative, so he became a little impatient.
"You won't kiss me, right?"
Zhao Rui wasn't a good-tempered person. Since the girl wouldn't be sensible, he simply took matters into his own hands.
He started moving closer to her again, and taking advantage of his height, he quickly made up for the distance he had created earlier, and even went a step further.
Ning Wanwan's face scrunched up, revealing an expression of nausea.
Zhao Rui, who was observing the girl's reaction, saw all of this.
Zhao Rui's face was so dark it was almost dripping ink; he seemed to feel he had lost face and was very angry because of the girl's resistance.
In contrast, he felt an increasingly intense sense of anxiety stemming from being rejected by the girl.
"Even if you don't want to kiss me, I'm still going to kiss you today!"
Zhao Rui didn't allow her to refuse. He forcefully pressed her hand, which had been blocking his way, against the wall and leaned over to get closer.
In that instant, it was just like a starving wolfhound that couldn't wait to see a bone.
Unfortunately, the wolfhound, which had done so many terrible things, was not likable and could only make the girl frown in disgust.
Just when Zhao Rui thought he was sure to get the better of him this time, a steady, unhurried footstep suddenly came from behind him.
A figure stood not far away, its form somewhat blurred due to the lighting.
"Excuse me, sir, may I disturb you?"
Abruptly interrupted, Zhao Rui turned around impatiently, his brows furrowed so deeply they could practically trap a fly: "Who are you?"
Ning Wanwan also looked over, a hope rising in her heart.
The figure seemed to realize that the two people couldn't see him, so he took a step forward and stood under the dim, warm yellow light, which illuminated his tall figure and the uniform of a waiter in black clothes and white pants.
Ning Wanwan couldn't see his face clearly, but she could hear his gentle and organized voice.
"I'm a waiter here, and I was the one who brought your drinks to your private room just now."
"Excuse me, do you two see the vacuum cleaner that was placed here during the previous cleaning?"
Ning Wanwan glanced subconsciously at the vacuum cleaner that was placed a few steps away from her.
How could Zhao Rui be willing to have a waiter bother him at a time like this? He waved his hand and warned, "There's no vacuum cleaner here, get out of here."
That waiter has absolutely no tact!
He then told the KTV to fire the clueless waiter.
"Alright." The waiter sighed regretfully and turned to leave, seemingly unaware of the strangeness between the two people.
Just as the person was about to leave, Ning Wanwan opened her mouth to ask for help, but Zhao Rui, who was quick-witted and agile, pressed her hand down on her.
He wasn't pressing hard; he was just warning Ning Wanwan. But Ning Wanwan was almost out of breath, so she didn't hesitate to bite down fiercely.
"Hiss." Zhao Rui gasped, somewhat annoyed and incredulous. "You really used a lot of force."
Ning Wanwan thought this guy was an idiot. Did he really expect her to be soft-hearted and show mercy when she resisted? What gave him the right to think that way?
Ugh, I definitely need to rinse my mouth when I get back!
Ning Wanwan's thoughts were a jumbled mess as she glared angrily back at Zhao Rui. Her undisguised anger surprised Zhao Rui, who had always seen her cower silently.
A small flame seemed to ignite in the girl's eyes as she looked up at him angrily, her veil of secrecy finally shedding its protective shell, which inexplicably...
I want to kiss her even more now.
Even the intense pain from being bitten hard on the hand seemed less important.
Just as Zhao Rui used his bitten hand to hold the girl's chin and was about to lean down again, the waiter who was about to leave suddenly stopped.
"Sir, do you seem to need assistance?"
Ning Wanwan looked up and realized that he was talking to her.
"You son of a bitch!"
Zhao Rui's dissatisfaction with the waiter finally ignited completely. He could still give Ning Wanwan some leeway, so what was a mere KTV waiter?
He suddenly turned his head: "Are you ever going to stop? Believe me, I can make you lose your job right now, and you'll be kicked out!"
The waiter remained standing there, but didn't say anything more, seemingly stunned by Zhao Rui's words, and hesitated.
Zhao Rui gave a mocking laugh: "What, aren't you going to get lost?"
"You think you can play the hero and save the damsel in distress without even considering your own limitations!"
After a moment of silence and hesitation, the waiter finally seemed to shrink back in fear and turned to leave.
Zhao Rui turned his gaze back to the girl who couldn't escape, his smile playful, as if he couldn't wait to make her face reality.
"You see, no one can help you."
Ning Wanwan lowered her eyes, somewhat frustrated, but understood that this situation was perfectly normal.
She knew she couldn't rely on anyone, and expecting others to suddenly be willing to help her unconditionally was too unrealistic.
She could feel Zhao Rui's intense, longing gaze fixed on her again, from the top of her head to her forehead, to her eyes, to her nose, and slowly sliding down to her lips.
It's really strange; why did things turn out this way?
Putting aside the fact that she had clearly expressed her refusal, she also couldn't understand why Zhao Rui had become so strange. He had clearly seen all sorts of beautiful girls who were cooperative with him before.
For example, Lin Ruowei may have a bad personality, but her looks and family background are impeccable.
Why would they target her, who always seemed so timid and boring?
Of course, these things aren't that important. What's important is that she doesn't want to be with this kind of person at all.
"Are you sure you really want someone like me, who has nothing, to be your girlfriend?" Ning Wanwan showed a slight hesitation, lowered her head, and avoided his close face as she asked.
While Zhao Rui was focused on what she was saying, Ning Wanwan's hand slowly moved toward the vacuum cleaner next to her, and even touched the handle of the vacuum cleaner.
Zhao Rui suddenly chuckled and grabbed her wrist.
"Ning Wanwan, you're too naive. I was able to spot your little tricks the first time, so I can catch you the second time too."
Surprisingly, Ning Wanwan didn't panic at being caught. Instead, she suddenly widened her eyes and said, "You..."
Zhao Rui: "What?"
Before he could react, a dull thud sounded on the back of his head, and his tall body slid softly to the ground, hitting it with a heavy thud.
Behind Zhao Rui, who had fallen, the figure of the waiter from before was revealed.
"Guest, are you alright?" the waiter asked with a smile.
Ning Wanwan looked up and stared at him blankly.
Seeing that the girl remained silent, the waiter took another step closer and asked with concern, "Are you sure you don't need any help?"
His tone and attitude were impeccable, practically five-star service, and he had just helped her out of a difficult predicament.
But Ning Wanwan always felt something was off; this person seemed too calm.
This confusion reached its peak, especially when she saw the other person's face clearly.
Moreover, Ning Wanwan couldn't quite remember if any of the waiters serving drinks in the private room were so elegant and handsome.
Ning Wanwan thought no.
However, it's quite possible that she didn't notice because the lighting was dim and there were many people in the private room.
Just as Ning Wanwan hesitated, the man dressed as a waiter took another step closer to her.
It was as if he had replaced Zhao Rui in his previous position.
