After parting ways with Xu Yi, Rong Qi insisted on driving herself home, refusing any offer from Lu Chengzhou to escort her.
Despite his protests, Lu Chengzhou had no choice but to relent. He showered her with a barrage of warnings and instructions before she drove off in her own car.
The night was still, the air crisp. Rong Qi lowered her car window halfway, allowing the cool breeze to caress her face, momentarily dissolving the turmoil within her. However, just as she started to clear her mind, she heard a distant cry for help.
Frowning slightly, Rong Qi hit the brakes and listened attentively. Sure enough, cries for help were emanating from a narrow alley not too far away. Making a quick U-turn, she drove toward the source of the noise.
In the alley, the sound of struggle reached Rong Qiâs ears. âLet go of me! You bunch of scumbags! Let go!â
Gu Yuyan was cornered, her eyes reflecting a mixture of fear and regret. She shouldnât have ignored her motherâs warning and ventured out. She shouldnât have tried to see Ye Nanshen, only to be rebuffed at his doorstep.
If Gu Yuyan hadnât gone to Clearcreek Mansion to see Ye Nanshen, she wouldnât have run out, heartbroken, to drown her sorrows, and she wouldnât have encountered these thugs. The thought of her life being ruined was unbearable. She wouldnât have the face to live in this world.
The three men who had cornered Gu Yuyan had already taken her wallet and phone. They shared a lascivious glance before slowly approaching her.
âHey, beautiful, weâve had our eyes on you for a while. Why donât you keep us company for a bit?â
As they spoke, they reached out to touch Gu Yuyan.
Panicked, Gu Yuyan stepped back, but as she did, her eyes met a figure standing behind them. The figure had her arms crossed and looked as if she were merely observing the proceedings. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Gu Yuyan, who had been on tenterhooks, burst into tears upon seeing her. âRong Qi! What are you doing standing there? Go call for help!â
As Gu Yuyan shouted, the three men spun around to find a slender girl standing alone in the dimly lit alley.
Rubbing their hands together, their grins became even more lecherous. âAh, so considerate. Knew the three of us might not be enough, so you brought us another. How about joining in, sweetheart?â
Rong Qi, however, remained unmoved, her brows furrowed but her expression unchanged.
Frustrated, Gu Yuyan snapped, âRong Qi! What are you doing? Call for help already!â
If it were Gu Yuyan, sheâd have already run to get help.
But Rong Qi stood there as if she was made of wood, seemingly unaware of the dire situation they were in.
And yet, the most infuriating part was to come.
Locking eyes with Gu Yuyan, Rong Qi arched an eyebrow and said, âIf youâre in such a hurry, why donât you fly over there yourself?â
Gu Yuyan was so enraged she felt her heart might explode. Her initial fear transformed into indignation and urgency, but for some reason, seeing Rong Qiâs indifferent expression, she gradually began to calm down, her fear lessening.
âCould it be that Rong Qi had already called for help and was now deliberately stalling for time?â Gu Yuyang thought. Her thought offered her some consolation, relieving her tension a bit.
However, just as Gu Yuyan was about to exhale in relief, Rong Qi threw her a curveball that left her on edge once more.
The three men, noting Rong Qiâs nonchalant stance, advanced further. âHow about it, little miss? Care to join us in some adult games?â
âGames? Sure, what kind of games?â A sly grin tugged at Rong Qiâs lips, leaving the men entranced.
âHeh, adult games. You know, like exercising. Do you know what that means?â âExercising, you say? Iâve heard itâs quite thrilling. Is it about the collision of bodies between adults?â
âRong Qi!â Gu Yuyan inhaled sharply at her words.
âDid this woman even know what she was saying? Could she be so brazen?â Gu Yuyan thought.
While Gu Yuyan was left flabbergasted, the men found Rong Qiâs suggestion exhilarating.
âHahaha, exactly! A collision of bodies between adults.. What a fresh description! So, are you in?â
