The two of them held hands as they exited the Jin Family Mansion, but once they were out of sight, they instinctively let go of each other’s hands.
“I’m really sorry, Jin Shao, but I don’t want to go home with you.” Qiao Chen was still waiting back at the small apartment; she needed to return and teach that troublemaker a lesson.
“Well, that’s not up to you!” Jin Chengyan said as he swept Jono up and shoved her into his Bentley. He quickly got in himself, started the car, and drove away.
Jono didn’t get out because there were no other cars available to leave from here; she had to rely on Jin Chengyan.
“You still have to come stay at Jin Mansion with me today!” He knew that Jin Zhongshu would never easily believe in his relationship with Jono. He needed them to think that Jono was truly determined to hold onto him, which would make things easier moving forward.
“Ugh, I really don’t want to sleep with someone like you; it’s just unpleasant for everyone!” Jono felt wronged and wanted to take it out on Jin Chengyan.
Even though it was just a few verbal jabs, Jono felt quite pleased.
Because she knew that aside from her words, she had no other weapons to hurt him!
Jin Chengyan snorted coldly and silently accelerated the car.
Especially after leaving the Jin Family Mansion and driving on the suburban roads, his speed was nothing short of invincible.
Jono unconsciously tightened her grip on the seatbelt; this man was insane.
“I wonder who it was last night who said to hurry up and not stop. Jono, could that be you?” Jin Chengyan shot back, reminding her of what she had said while he was beneath her.
Being a girl, Jono naturally blushed at Jin Chengyan’s blunt words.
“Shameless,” she glared at him before turning her gaze out the window.
“Don’t forget that you were the one who seduced me first. As a man, I couldn’t possibly refuse a woman who came knocking at my door!”
"An animal that thinks with its lower half!"
As the two continued their battle, they reached a point fifty meters from the Jin Mansion, where Jono finally managed to provoke Jin Chengyan.
"You've really gone all these years without touching Ruan Shengyu. Is it because you can't?"
Jin Chengyan slammed on the brakes, unbuckled his seatbelt, turned around, and pulled Jono closer. Their faces were merely ten centimeters apart.
"Can't you feel whether I'm capable or not? Or do you plan to experience it again right now? I wouldn't mind proving my abilities!" Jin Chengyan gripped Jono's shoulders, his gaze roaming over her.
It was as if Sima Zhao's heart was laid bare; at that moment, his mind was undoubtedly fixated on that incident!
"This is ridiculous!" Jono struggled to break free from his grip. Did this man really need to prove his abilities here?
But he wouldn’t relent. He knew just how delectable Jono was; experiencing her once had made her unforgettable. The events of last night played on repeat in Jin Chengyan's mind, and seeing this woman made him forget everything else.
Especially now, as she glared at him, he felt an overwhelming urge to make her beg for mercy beneath him!
He reached into Jono's clothing, finding her softness.
"You’re insane… mmm…" Before Jono could finish her sentence, Jin Chengyan silenced her with a kiss, turning her protests into whimpers.
The scene shifted rapidly; hadn’t they just been arguing? Jin Chengyan’s thought process was utterly unfathomable!
This kind of love-hate relationship… Jono wondered how she had come to think of such a term for herself and Jin Chengyan.
Was there love?
Heh!
Jin Chengyan probably only had hatred left for her.
After she admitted to having someone tarnish Ruan Shengyu's reputation.
Even if it was to cooperate with him, to make her a bad woman, Jin Chengyan would still believe that it was Jono who did that thing!
Thinking of this, Jono felt angry. Now he had to endure this; should he just...
"Beep beep beep—" A harsh car horn sounded.
Both Jin Chengyan and Jono abandoned their actions, as the car was not a suitable place for such things.
He got off Jono, looking at her rosy lips, which were simply... too tempting!
Cursing under his breath, he wondered who dared to honk in front of Jin Mansion!
They both turned to look outside. The sky had already darkened, and there were no lights when the horn sounded, but suddenly, bright high beams lit up from across the street!
Not only Jin Chengyan but even Jono raised a hand to shield themselves from the blinding light.
Through his fingers, Jin Chengyan saw a man standing several dozen meters away from them, with the light source behind him!
A figure that could only be seen in silhouette stood there, causing Jin Chengyan to frown suddenly!
Jono was also curious about who dared to cause trouble outside Jin Mansion.
However, soon both of them recognized who the person by the light source was—
Yan Beiting.
He had one hand tucked into his suit pants, and he didn't approach; instead, he had just used the horn to alert the person inside the car, indicating that he had seen everything!
Once Jin Chengyan clearly recognized who was standing there, his brows furrowed even tighter. What was this person doing here at this moment?
Was it a show of force with the honking and high beams?
Hmph!
Jin Chengyan let out a cold laugh and suddenly revved the engine, driving toward Yan Beiting!
The Bentley had excellent performance, accelerating from a standstill in just a few seconds.
At this speed, if he charged right up to Yan Beiting, it would surely end in disaster!
“Jin Chengyan, there’s someone ahead—” Jono glanced at the person outside before turning back to Jin Chengyan. She noticed the wicked smile curling at the corner of his mouth; he was determined to go through with it!
In those brief seconds, Jono's mind raced with thoughts.
She could become an accomplice, possibly ending up in the police station alongside Jin Chengyan. But with the Jin Family's protection, she would be the only one left locked up in prison!
Regardless, she widened her eyes, staring at Yan Beiting, who seemed almost unwilling to move an inch!
Wasn't he afraid of death?
In that instant, Jono felt the intense animosity between these two men!
Or perhaps they were… lovers turned enemies!
At the critical moment, Jin Chengyan suddenly slammed on the brakes, stopping the car less than five centimeters from Yan Beiting.
The people inside the car locked eyes with those outside through the windshield.
Jin Chengyan wore a provocative smile, while Jono looked out to see Yan Beiting, his expression tense and devoid of fear, as if he was determined that Jin Chengyan wouldn’t dare to crash into him!
But Jono knew that Jin Chengyan was indeed capable of such a thing! Just moments ago, he had pressed the accelerator to the floor, his eyes filled with a fierce intensity that seemed to wish for Yan Beiting to vanish from this world!
As for why he had stopped afterward, Jono couldn’t figure it out.
However, she was nearly scared to death by Jin Chengyan!
Just as she was about to speak, Yan Beiting walked around the front of the car, opened Jono's door, leaned in, unbuckled her seatbelt, and pulled her out of the vehicle entirely.
His actions made it seem as if Jono were a doll, easily manipulated at his will.
“Yan Bei…” Jono didn’t understand why Yan Beiting was pulling her out of the car. Did he intend to engage in a life-and-death struggle with Jin Chengyan?
But in Yan Beiting’s eyes, there was only himself!
“I told you to stay away from Jin Chengyan!” Yan Beiting’s face was clearly visible under the headlights of his car, and it looked terrible.
Jono was taken aback; it seemed that Yan Beiting cared too much about her…
“Mr. Yan… this is my own business… right?” Jono confirmed that this was her own matter and that Yan Beiting was meddling too much.
Yan Beiting’s expression darkened further.
At that moment, Jin Chengyan got out of his car, leaning against the still-open door with one hand, smiling at Yan Beiting.
To Jono, that smile was particularly infuriating!
"Jono, get in the car," Jin Chengyan said, not as a command, but more like words exchanged between close acquaintances.
Yan Beiting held onto Jono's wrist, refusing to let go.
"Let go first..." Jono looked at Yan Beiting's hand, completely unsure of what she intended to do.
Not only did Yan Beiting refuse to release her grip, but her sharp eyes also fixed on Jin Chengyan. "You have no right to order her around."
"Yan San, I think you misunderstood. I'm not ordering Jono; I'm simply asking my wife to return to her husband's car. Is that wrong?" If Jin Chengyan wasn't mistaken, he saw concern for Jono on Yan Beiting's face.
That was an expression he hadn't seen from Yan Beiting regarding Ruan Shengyu all those years. Instead, she showed such concern for Jono.
Thus, Jin Chengyan concluded that Yan Beiting had feelings for Jono.
The realization nearly made Jin Chengyan's head explode!
Why did Yan Beiting have to meddle with everyone around him? What a hypocrite!
Bah! Not a gentleman at all—just a petty person!
However, when Yan Beiting heard Jin Chengyan refer to Jono as his "wife," disbelief washed over her!
He just called Jono... his wife?
She turned her gaze to Jono, questioning.
Jono finally managed to free her hand from Yan Beiting's grasp, shrugged, and had no intention of explaining the situation.
After all, tomorrow the Jin family would announce that she, Jono, was Jin Chengyan's wife—a bankrupt heiress suddenly transformed into a new bride of a prestigious family. What a sensational event that would be!
"What's wrong, Yan San? Do you still have other thoughts about my wife?" Jin Chengyan said coldly. He enjoyed watching Yan Beiting's frustration, knowing he had nowhere to vent it.
"When did you two get married?" Yan Beiting couldn't believe it!
Jin Chengyan was infatuated with Ruan Shengyu; how could he possibly give up on her to marry Jono?
"Is he forcing you?" Yan Beiting asked Jono. "If he's pressuring you, I'll help you annul this marriage!"
"Yan San, that's where you're wrong. You want to help my wife annul her marriage right in front of me without even asking for my opinion!" Jin Chengyan maintained his cocky demeanor. "Why don't you ask Jono if she willingly signed the marriage agreement?"
The question was directed at Jono, who turned to glance at Jin Chengyan. This man just wanted to provoke Yan Beiting, didn't he?
But why use herself to annoy Yan Beiting?
Jono turned back and looked at Yan Beiting, feeling somewhat confused.
