As soon as he entered, Li Tingyan pinned Nianyang harshly against the door, lowering his head to glare at her, "Is this what you meant by something happening at your shop, by getting cozy with Shi Feng? You’re really something!"

Nianyang sneered, "If you can cuddle with Yin Tang, why can’t I? It’s just the way things go."

"Say that again!" Li Tingyan’s eyes flared with anger, "Don’t tell me the photos are real? Have you really gotten tangled up with Shi Feng?"

Nianyang laughed lazily, "Funny, are you angry? What’s there to be mad at? I’m simply doing what you did, do you have the right to be angry?"

"You!"

Li Tingyan’s temples throbbed with rage, glaring at Nianyang as though he wanted to set her ablaze and reduce her to ashes.

"Nini, how many times do I have to tell you, I’m not like you. Are you deliberately punishing me, hmm?"

Nianyang tilted her head, "If I tell you that Shi Feng and I weren’t together for what you think, but for reasons like you and Yin Tang, would you believe me?"

Li Tingyan’s breath abruptly got heavier, "Is this fun for you? Chu Nianyang, are you really enjoying this?"

"See, you don’t believe me at all, so why should I be expected to believe you?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Nianyang pressed her fingers to her brow, "Li Tingyan, honestly, the way we are, it’s quite meaningless for both of us. Why not just let it go?"

"Forget it!" Li Tingyan grit his teeth, with a hint of brutal fury surfacing beneath his handsome brows, "You want to get rid of me so easily after provoking me? I don’t care what happened with Shi Feng, you end it, do you hear? Or I don’t know what I’ll do!"

"What if I say no...mm..." Before Nianyang could finish, the man already lowered his head, fiercely biting her lip.

This was a kiss tinged with blood, his presence ravaged her mouth, punishingly biting the soft flesh inside, making Nianyang cry out in pain.

"Mm, let go, let go of me!" Nianyang struggled desperately, imagining his hands, his body, possibly touched by Yin Tang, shivering with discomfort.

Li Tingyan ignored Nianyang’s protests, after hearing what she said, he felt murderous rage.

Yet he couldn’t bear to hurt her a bit, only expressing his displeasure in this way, clearly a lover’s passionate kiss turned into the semblance of a battle.

Afterwards, Nianyang almost fainted, roughly pinned to the bed by Li Tingyan, who gripped her jaw fiercely, his voice like the Devil crawling out of hell, "How is it, does it hurt? Good, pain helps you remember, see if you dare say such infuriating things again."

Nianyang gasped weakly like a dying fish, eyes closed, refusing to speak or look at him.

Seeing her like this, the pent-up frustration in Li Tingyan’s heart threatened to overwhelm, fearing he’d hurt her, he left without another word.

Nianyang heard the loud slam of the door, gradually sat up, hugging her knees, and quietly sobbed.

The pain in her lips and jaw clearly told her, the man who once promised to protect her, never allowing any harm, was gone.
