Chapter 100 [VIP] Shadow Guard (14)

Nan Yan paused in her attempt to pick up the flower petals.

The flower dish held on her knees fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into pieces.

The fragrance of dried flowers continued to spread around, and the petals scattered on her feet, shoes, and clothes. The remaining fragrance was overflowing, elegant and sweet, with a refreshing taste that instantly enveloped the two of them.

Nan Yan's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Especially when his gaze fell on the face of the person in front of him, a layer of mist condensed in his eyes almost instantly.

She bit her lip and her face turned pale in an instant. Her expression was full of panic and fear, as if she had seen some scary monster. She stumbled to her feet and staggered back a few steps.

"Ye...you..."

She was so frightened that she couldn't even finish her words. Her lips had been bitten until there was no trace of blood left. Her whole body was still shaking and she was staggering back and forth.

Ye Qiuchen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her quietly, as if he found her dying struggle amusing.

"Is Fourth Miss afraid?"

Ye Qiuchen chuckled sarcastically.

"This is normal. After all, the fourth lady instigated Shadow Guard to elope, betrayed the owner of the manor, and even abandoned everyone. Now that she has been found by my subordinates, it is natural for her to be afraid."

"Am I right, Miss Four?"

Nan Yan's eyes instantly turned red. She shook her head slightly, really not knowing what to do.

The person in front of him was still approaching slowly, firmly in control of the dominant position, like a beast in the jungle catching its prey, careless but determined.

He took a few more steps forward with the sword raised, and pushed the person into the house until he had nowhere to retreat. His body came to a sudden stop because it hit the edge of the table behind him. Then he smiled and said meaningfully, "Why are you looking at me like this? The fourth lady's delicate and weak appearance makes me think that I am rebelling against my superiors and plotting something bad?"

Nan Yan's fingers trembled violently, and she accidentally knocked over the freshly brewed cup of scented tea on the table. The tea spilled out and soaked the pile of neatly placed "囍" characters on the table.

"Oh……"

Ye Qiuchen narrowed his eyes, and his gaze suddenly turned cold, especially after seeing the new pile of "囍" characters. A feeling of resentment and jealousy suddenly arose in his heart, and he pointed the long sword directly at her chest.

The voice also turned sarcastic.

"I don't know, my subordinates, that the Fourth Miss is so courageous? In such a remote and remote wilderness, you and your subordinates have an unmatched and private life-long relationship. This is something you, a noble lady, can do. Something?"

Every word that came out of his mouth was filled with an ambiguous and erotic feeling. It was unclear whether he did it on purpose or was just so angry that he tried to humiliate her with words.

Nan Yan's face turned pale instantly, and she unconsciously clenched her sleeves. She raised her head abruptly, her eyes filled with anger and embarrassment after being humiliated.

But she still stared at him stubbornly, refusing to beg for mercy, and not even thinking that she had made any mistake.

Ye Qiuchen naturally saw through her thoughts. He suddenly chuckled, and there was a coldness in his laughter. Although he was smiling, his eyes became colder.

"What a beautiful Chinese character for happiness! It's just a pity that Seventeen will never be able to see it in his lifetime."

"The fourth young lady probably doesn't know yet..."

He didn't finish his words yet and left the audience in suspense.

Then the long sword turned over and easily picked up the stack of happy characters on the table. The sword light swept across and casually made a sharp and complicated sword flower. The originally neat and tidy happy characters were instantly cut into pieces by the sword blade and scattered everywhere.

He sneered, looking down at her from a high position, his eyes full of mockery, "Your marriage cannot be completed today, and Seventeen will never come back in this lifetime! Miss Four, do you think that your subordinates have the ability to find you, but are incapable of killing the Shadow Seventeen who went out to gather?"

Hearing this, Nan Yan's face changed drastically, and her expression became panicked almost instantly. She opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe what he said, but she had to believe it. Finally, the tears accumulated in her eyes fell uncontrollably.

"Seventeen...what did you do to him?"

She rushed forward, choking with sobs, not even paying attention to the long sword across her chest, and subconsciously grabbed Ye Qiuchen's sleeve, "What did you do to him?"

Ye Qiuchen subconsciously moved the blade of his sword an inch when she pounced on him. After realizing his unconscious action, he became even more angry. Especially when he saw her crying and helpless, he felt a little pleasure of revenge in his heart. So he raised the corner of his mouth and continued,

"What else can I do?"

"Ying Shiqi's betrayal of the manor master is already an unforgivable crime! Moreover, he betrayed the master's trust, committed treason, deceived and seduced the master to elope with him, and finally ruined the master's reputation by trying to imprison the master in this remote place. Such a traitor deserves to die ten thousand times. What good end can the master hope for him to have?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Yan opened her eyes wide and looked at him in shock, as if she could hardly believe the nonsense he had just said.

She shook her head vigorously, and her tears fell from her cheeks one by one like beads that had broken off the string. "No, it's not like that!"

She grabbed Ye Qiuchen's hand tightly, her eyes full of pleading, "He didn't, he didn't deceive me, it was me, I deceived him, it was my fault from beginning to end, I forced him to betray the studio, can you please let him go..."

The person on the other side was indifferent.

Nan Yan held his hand tighter, no longer showing her previous stubborn attitude. Her lips were pale, and she was now just a poor woman who only wanted to save her lover.

"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have forced him to take me away. I will go back with you. I will marry whoever you tell me to marry. I will never run away again. Please don't hurt him, okay?"

"I beg you..."

Her tears flowed more and more, and her nose turned red. In the end, she almost broke down emotionally. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, "As long as you can let him go, I will do anything. I really beg you..."

Ye Qiuchen clenched his fingers, he had never seen her so out of control and humble before, especially when he saw her crying so heartbrokenly, his heart was filled with crazy jealousy uncontrollably, it felt like a thin thread was strung around his chest, pulling it wildly, sour and stinging, it was so uncomfortable that he even had trouble breathing.

Does she like Ying Shiqi so much?

Can you ignore everything for him?

He stared at Nan Yan in front of him, his anger growing even stronger. He was just jealous, jealous that Seventeen could get her wholehearted love. If Seventeen could do it, then why couldn't he? She had clearly said that she would never abandon him, so why couldn't she care about him more?

Ye Qiuchen had a blank expression on his face. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Nan Yan's wrist. Then, he pulled her in front of him and asked word by word, "Is anything really possible?"

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his eyes became even colder. "For Ying Shiqi, are you really willing to do anything?"

Nan Yan nodded subconsciously. Hearing this, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She grabbed his sleeve tightly, and even her voice became clearer. "I am willing. I know I was wrong. I will go back with you. I am willing to bear any punishment. I just ask you not to kill him, okay?"

Ye Qiuchen suddenly let go of her hand, looked around her, then shook his head and whispered, "Miss Fourth, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant..."

"What?"

Nan Yan's voice was choked with sobs. She raised her head slightly, her eyes were red from crying, and her tearful eyes were looking at him anxiously, with a hint of confusion.

Ye Qiuchen's eyes were dim, and suddenly became wantonly ambiguous. He raised the scabbard and slowly stroked it from her waist, then upwards, across her chest, and finally stopped at the opening of her clothes. He lifted it lightly, revealing the clean and soft undershirt and some fair and delicate skin.

Nan Yan's face changed and she subconsciously covered her chest tightly.

Ye Qiuchen chuckled, his thin red lips slightly opening and closing, and then he said something flirtatious, "What I mean is that the master is outstanding in appearance, and her appearance is really gorgeous, especially after the lead is washed off and she wears this embroidered cloth skirt, she has a unique kind of pure and elegant beauty."

"As for a man like me, I don't have much experience and I don't have any great ambitions in life. The only thing I lack is experience with women. But I think if Seventeen can do it, then I should be able to do it too, right?"

After he finished speaking, he moved a little closer, and his eyes scanned her body wantonly, completely losing his previous cautious and respectful attitude, and looked down at her from a completely condescending position.

Nan Yan was stunned. For a moment she even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. But when she realized that it was not an illusion, her face turned pale instantly.

She bit her lips tightly, probably because she was really scared. She stepped back in panic, trying to remain calm and scold him, but her body was already shaking. "You... Ye Qiuchen, you are so outrageous! Do you know what you are saying? How dare you... How dare you say such things to me!"

Ye Qiuchen looked at her with burning eyes, and continued to press forward step by step, until he had her nowhere to retreat. He suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, pulling her completely in front of him, forcing her to look directly at him, "Why don't you dare? Master, do you care about your identity? Eloping with Seventeen is a serious crime of adultery, isn't the master also guilty of the same crime?"

"Besides, we are both servants. How can I be inferior to Seventeen? Or is it that the master is biased from the beginning to the end, only willing to give it to the traitor Seventeen, but not to me?"

Nan Yan felt humiliated when she heard this.

Her fingers were trembling as she clutched the collar of her clothes tightly, and her lips had been bitten until not a trace of blood was left.

"You...you bastard!"

She just kept swearing this way and that.

Ye Qiuchen chuckled, "Yes, I am a jerk, but do you have the qualifications to refuse me?"

At this point, she no longer had the ability to struggle or resist. From the moment she escaped from Qixia Villa, she became a sinner and abandoned, unable to maintain even the last bit of her dignity. Nan Yan finally revealed a look of fear in her eyes, and could only look at the man in front of her pleadingly, her eyes full of tears.

"No, please, don't do this to me..."

"Even if...even if, considering that we once fled together and that I saved you, please don't treat me like this..."

She shook her head and cried, little knowing that the more pitiful her crying was, the more moving she looked. She was truly worthy of the description "pear blossoms in the rain", and it could further arouse the predatory and aggressive desire hidden deep in the man's heart.

Ye Qiuchen's eyes flickered. Looking at her weak and frail posture, a hint of pity flashed across his dark eyes. He seemed really moved by her words. Not only did he loosen his hand, he also tactfully took a step back, giving her enough safe distance.

However, the next moment, Nan Yan heard this man say meaningfully, "Okay, if the master is not willing, I will not infringe on you."

"But..."

He paused for a moment, then smiled softly and said in a gentle voice, "I just don't know how long Shadow Seventeen can hold on? Anyway, this time the owner of the manor and the owner of the building have sent out three groups of assassins. Not only have they issued a death order, they have also instructed their subordinates to bring back the body of the traitor Seventeen and chop him into pieces as a warning to others, to intimidate those Shadow Guards who want to defect. This is the consequence of betrayal!"

He emphasized the word "corpse" with special emphasis, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, which made it obvious that he was not lying.

After hearing this, Nan Yan became unsteady for a moment and staggered back a few steps. She struggled to hold onto the edge of the table behind her and barely managed to hold her shaky body.

Then the tears came again.

She was obviously thinking about what Seventeen would encounter. The more she thought about it, the paler her face became. She felt as if she was trapped in a dilemma from which she could not escape.

After being silent for a long time, she raised her eyes and looked at Ye Qiuchen in front of her, her eyes full of despair.

"Is what you said... true?"

Ye Qiuchen chuckled, seeming to particularly appreciate her desperate expression at the moment, then slowly put away his weapon and continued, "What else? Master, do you think I will use this matter to deceive you? Master wants Seventeen alive, in fact, this is very simple, as long as the master is willing to pay something, the subordinate will naturally find a way to spare his life, but if you are willing to do nothing, why should the subordinate risk his life to help you, it will be very disadvantageous."

Nan Yan closed her eyes, her heart was full of struggle, but when she opened her eyes again, she had already made up her mind. She tried hard to suppress the trembling in her voice and asked with a sob, "What should I do... to make you satisfied?"

Hearing this, Ye Qiuchen's fingers gripping the hilt of the sword tightened immediately, his eyes turned cold, as if he couldn't believe that she could really do this for a man.

"You want your subordinates to be satisfied, right?"

Ye Qiuchen's eyes became colder and colder, "Okay!"

"Then please take off your clothes first, and then come into my arms. I don't need you to teach me these things, right?"

Nan Yan suddenly raised her eyes, a tear rolled down the corner of her eye, her eyes were filled with despair after being humiliated.

But as long as she thought about Seventeen still being in danger and having to give herself to him, in the end, she bit her lips tightly to suppress the humiliation in her heart, and the fingers pressing on the belt began to tremble uncontrollably...

However, when Ye Qiuchen saw her fingers unbuckling her belt, his face turned completely cold. How could this be possible? How could she really agree to this? He had originally just wanted to see how far she could go for that traitor, so he had deliberately used this matter to test her. He thought she just didn't want to get married, so she had joined forces with Photo 17 to escape, but what was this now?

She would rather be humiliated by him and sacrifice her innocence to save the traitor's life. Did she like him so much? Did she like him so much that she could abandon her self-esteem without any scruples and give up everything?

Thinking of this, the anger and jealousy that Ye Qiuchen had suppressed with great difficulty suddenly surged up in his heart, making his expression almost distorted and his rationality completely gone. He was extremely jealous in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about the person in front of him.

At this moment, Ye Qiuchen was so angry that he had trouble breathing. He had never been so angry before.

How could she?

Why? Why did he get all her love, why did she do this for him, why did that traitor have all this.

Shadow Seventeen, damn Shadow Seventeen!

He would definitely kill him!

He will definitely be killed.

The moment Nan Yan's outer garment fell off, Ye Qiuchen felt the anger rising in his heart. He was so angry that the veins on the back of his hands popped out. Then he grabbed her wrist, pulled hard, and yanked her in front of him. His tone suddenly became cold.

"Are you crazy? How dare you! Ye Nanyan, do you want to see what you look like now? For a Ying Shiqi, for a damn traitor, you even threw away your last bit of self-esteem."

"But Seventeen..."

Before she could finish her words, Ye Qiuchen interrupted her rudely, "Shut up, I don't want to hear his name now."

Nan Yan shuddered with fear.

Suddenly I dared not say a word.

Ye Qiuchen continued, sneering, "You are really great. You are unwilling to be a proper young lady, but you choose to live this kind of anxious and precarious life with a slave and a traitor. What kind of magic potion did Ying Shiqi feed you to make you do this for him?"

Nan Yan huddled in his arms, trembling all over, with her hands protecting her chest. She didn't know if it was because of the cold or shame, but tears kept falling one by one, soaking his clothes on his chest in an instant.

Ye Qiuchen's hand around her waist tightened.

It was so tight that Nan Yan felt like she could hardly breathe, and her waist was definitely bruised.

And the person in front of me still knows nothing.

Until he had ridiculed enough, and saw the person in his arms trembling and in a miserable state, his heart surged with even greater anger. She was obviously so scared, but she still dared to provoke him. He turned his face away, directly lifted the skirt on the ground with his scabbard, and then wrapped the person up tightly, and said in a cold but extremely irritable manner,

"Why don't you put on your clothes?"

After hearing this, Nan Yan looked at him fearfully, tears welling up in her eyes again. It was clear that she didn't understand what he meant. "Are you not willing anymore?"

Ye Qiuchen's face suddenly turned very ugly. He moved his mouth, but when his eyes saw her pale face, he finally suppressed his anger and stopped saying those embarrassing words. "If you dare to say these nonsense again, I will kill you now!"

Nan Yan's face turned pale again.

Ye Qiuchen's brows furrowed even tighter.

"I don't want to do it because I don't care. There is no man in this world who is worth you trying to please him in this way. Hurry up and put on your clothes. I will take you to find him."

After hearing what he said, Nan Yan was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she finally reacted and hurriedly put on her clothes.
