My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 961: Bringing Disgrace Upon Oneself

Only the terrifying sound of bodyguards kicking into the stone pillars loudly could be heard, causing hearts to race and flesh to tremble.

"Are you alright?" Ye Lu’s voice trembled, her heart clenched tight, as she desperately clung to his head.

Third Young Master Jun struggled to lift his head, his lips deathly pale. The kick he had just taken had clearly caused him serious internal damage, likely even breaking bones.

"I’m fine!" He endured the intense pain within his body, forcing himself to stand up, his tone calm and steady as if he hadn’t been injured at all.

The next second, he quickly reacted, blocking a sneaking punch with his own fist.

Clenching his teeth tightly, he abruptly pulled Ye Lu and ran towards the other side of the hall. Those bodyguards wouldn’t let them go easily and gave chase.

"It’s my fault you are involved. If you were alone, they couldn’t hurt you." As Ye Lu was half-dragged, half-carried by him, her eyes moistened.

"Stop talking nonsense. It’s a man’s responsibility to protect his wife and children." The Third Young Master’s voice was arrogant and forceful, his gaze untamed as he looked at her and curled his lips with a devilish charm, "If you’re grateful, remember to comfort me well with your body later. I’ll put this on your tab for now."

Ye Lu was taken aback and couldn’t help feeling frustrated.

Even at such a dangerous moment, this man couldn’t change his true colors. What a situation they were in, and he was still flirting with her.

The next second, he pulled her into the backstage area of the auction platform and with a bang, locked the door.

Once backstage, Ye Lu scanned the area nervously and grew even more anxious.

"Hey, running in here is no escape; it’s a dead end."

"Then we won’t run. Let’s deal with them here." Third Young Master Jun’s gaze was sharp, his voice icy cold as he stood ready to strike behind the door, prepared for anyone who might break in.

Ye Lu was frantic: "How can you fight ten people by yourself?" And he was already injured. "Don’t try to be a hero, you don’t have a gun right now."

If he had a gun, the situation would definitely be reversed. His shooting was incredible, almost god-like, which she had witnessed with her own eyes. But unfortunately, firearms and similar weapons weren’t allowed into the auction.

She knew he was injured and, with her as baggage, he’d be distracted in having to protect her, making it even harder to fend off the group of men.

Bang, bang, bang—the men were furiously kicking at the door, shaking it violently. It seemed only a matter of time before the door would give way.

"You should go! I never asked you to save me." She shouted tearfully, not wanting to witness him, in a moment, being beaten and humiliated by those despicable men while protecting her.

A man as proud and strong as Third Young Master Jun would never have been in such a pitiful state if it wasn’t for her.

Especially now, when things looked grim.

It was better for one to die than for both to perish.

"Even if you’re hurt because of me, do you think I’d feel sorry for you? No matter what you do, you cannot change my hatred and disgust. I despise you, Young Master Jun, and have always wanted to leave you—I’ve never changed my mind!"

Her words were like blades, cold and merciless, stabbing into Third Young Master Jun’s heart.

Anger and hurt smoldered in his deep and frosty eyes as he glared at her, a look that seemed to wish he could tear open her heart.

"The person I despise the most is you, Young Master Jun. You’ve humiliated yourself—get lost!"

Suddenly, Third Young Master Jun rushed towards her, his expression icy cold as he stopped guarding the door, striding over to her, his eyes dark as ink and menacing, and in a split second, they were as chilling as the depths of an abyss.

Ye Lu was struck by his violent aura and stumbled back step by step.

But he pounced like a wild beast, disregarding everything as he seized her chin and forcefully, fiercely kissed her.

Ye Lu was pinned down, struggling in vain as he refused to let go.
