He sneered softly, gripping her wrist tighter, drawing even closer, âSince thatâs the case, why are you pretending in front of me? Playing hard to get? Is this the tactic you used to become the Young Mistress of the He Family?â
Su Zixi trembled with anger.
Blinded by rage and humiliation, a mist seemed to form before her eyes! Though Ning Yichen hadnât fully pressed against her body, his proximity still made her exceedingly uncomfortable.
âNing Yichen, you might have misunderstood something,â her voice was still shaking, âI asked a classmate to visit you simply because I feel partly responsible for your leg injury, with no other intentions. Itâs true, I once entertained some wild fantasies about you, but thatâs all in the past. Now, I am He Jingyaoâs wife, and he is the only man I love!â
Ning Yichen pursed his lips, his gaze becoming more inscrutable.
With his refined and handsome features, such a gloomy expression seemed peculiarly unsettling, increasingly making others feel anxious and uneasy.
âFurthermore, you are Su Lianxiâs fiancé, and such behavior towards me, if Lianxi learns of it, wouldnât be good, would it?â Su Zixi said through clenched teeth.
âOnce harbored wild fantasiesâ¦â Ning Yichen laughed, his tone playful, âSu Zixi, I must not underestimate your tactics indeed.â
A simple admission of past affection can make a deeper impression on a man than any sweet nothings or impassioned confessions.
She truly understood the lesser instincts of men.
âLet me go!â Su Zixiâs voice was tinged with a hint of crying, she was truly both angry and scared.
Although she didnât know why Ning Yichen had suddenly changed like this, she could keenly sense the aggression emanating from this manâthe natural predatory and conquering instinct of a man, enough to make one lose their reason!
She couldnât help but be frightened! Especially since she was completely at his mercy!
Ning Yichen, too, was acutely aware of her fear and trembling.@@novelbin@@
He had never observed this woman from such a close distance before. Upon closer inspection, she looked nothing like Su Lianxi⦠Come to think of it, her expressions had always been so vivid.
Even now, with her eyes spelling fear and resistance, he found it hard to control himselfâ¦
He felt he must be bewitched, or seduced by this woman, otherwise why⦠He moved closer to her bit by bit, as if he could kiss those delicate lips at any moment.
âLet her go.â
At the critical moment, a languid and deep female voice suddenly rang out, like thunder, awakening Ning Yichen!
He stood up abruptly, even taking two steps back, his expression filled with disbelief!
He had actually felt desire for Su Zixi, this woman!
Ning Yichen couldnât quite tell if he was regretting being bewitched by this woman, or regretting that his movements had been just a little too slow, after all, it was almostâ¦
He forced his gaze away from her quivering lips and looked at the woman who had suddenly appeared beside him.
âSis, how did you get here?â he calmed down, and his rationality finally returned.
âLook how scared youâve made this poor girl, Yichen, this isnât like you,â Ning Ruixin said teasingly, then turned to look at Su Zixi, who was pale and sitting on the sofa.
Su Zixi still had the look of someone with their soul scared out of them, eyes wide with enduring fear.
However, after hearing their conversation, she managed to calm herself and took a deep breath, âWas it you who kidnapped me here?â
