"Get out of the way!" Shen Jingyu's voice was laced with irritation.
At some point, Rong Xigu had appeared by his side. Shen Jingyu tossed his car keys to Rong Xigu, adding casually, "Take care of your woman!"
Rong Xigu raised an eyebrow and smirked; he knew all too well how his fiancée, Lu Xiangyi, had managed to provoke this fierce man. Truly, Shen Jingyu was a man who held grudges and sought revenge!
Receiving Shen Jingyu's keys, Rong Xigu headed toward his temperamental fiancée, wondering how he would manage to get her into his car.
Meanwhile, Han Ruoxi looked at Shen Jingyu with hopeful eyes, wanting to apologize and admit her mistakes, seeking his understanding. Yet he completely ignored her.
Lu Xiangyi's interference prompted Han Ruoxi to curse at her, "Are you a rabid dog? Just biting anyone you see?"
"Are you a shameless woman? Eyeing married men like it's nothing?" Lu Xiangyi's words nearly caused the agile Rong Xigu to stumble in the darkness.
In the end, Han Ruoxi could only watch as Shen Jingyu left with Su Xing. Although she managed to catch a ride in another car, the bodyguard dropped her off on the roadside once they reached the city.
Han Ruoxi had never experienced such humiliation since she ascended to the title of Best Actress! Yet Su Xing had saved her once; she couldn't immediately turn against her now. At this moment, it seemed her only option for support was Geng Rui.
Shen Jingyu didn’t even spare her a glance.
On the other side, Shen Jingyu drove swiftly to Xing Yu Mansion. Upon getting out of the car, he immediately scooped Su Xing into his arms.
"What are you doing? Why are you holding me?"
It had been about half a month since they last saw each other. This reunion filled both of them with excitement, perhaps because they had already expressed their feelings for one another.
Su Xing gazed at the man's resolute profile as she nestled against him, listening to the steady beat of his heart. She couldn't help but feel a flutter in her chest.
"Did you tell everything to Zhou Jingquan? Why do you turn mute when you see me?"
Shen Jingyu seemed determined to ignore Su Xing completely!
It wasn't until the elevator stopped that he skillfully opened her apartment door and boldly carried her into her bedroom.
Gently placing her on the bed, he looked into her eyes and saw depth there. He had finally come back.
He slowly reached out and tenderly began unbuttoning Su Xing's chiffon blouse from the bottom up.
Was she feeling a bit anxious?
"I... I'm not ready yet," Su Xing stammered, unable to finish her sentence.
Shen Jingyu cursed under his breath, "Damn it! Who was it that kicked you like this?"
He was staring at the wound on Su Xing's waist and abdomen.
Ah, ah? Su Xing finally reacted. This man was concerned about his injury, but how did he notice it? Did he grow eyes in the back of his head?
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Su Xing tugged at her clothes and sat up. She awkwardly changed the subject, saying, "It was just a brawl. Getting hurt is inevitable. How about you? Are you done with everything?"
Shen Jingyu's expression darkened as he murmured, "Those people should have their legs broken!"
"Pfft, are you defending me?" Su Xing chuckled, finding this moment of Shen Jingyu somewhat adorable.
"I'm just feeling sorry for you," Shen Jingyu said with a gloomy face.
Su Xing raised an eyebrow; was this man becoming a bit flirtatious? "Then do you want me to feel sorry for you too? Did you get hurt this time?" she asked softly, leaning against Shen Jingyu's shoulder.
His broad shoulder felt like a harbor that belonged solely to Su Xing.
"No." Shen Jingyu's mood was somewhat low. "Xingxing, I've failed again. I didn't catch Xiao Jie, and nothing else came of it either. If I can't gather evidence, the Zhan Family will continue to roam free."
"My career is going to be ruined."
Su Xing could sense Shen Jingyu's frustration; he must have tried hard but still failed to achieve a good outcome. Instead of directly comforting him, she asked, "Have you failed this mission multiple times?"
Shen Jingyu looked at Su Xing in surprise.
"Years ago, even more than ten or twenty years ago, this issue with the Zhan Family is a historical problem that someone has to resolve, right? Your father, my father, and many others who sacrificed themselves—they all believed they were doing the right thing without considering the consequences."
"Perhaps this matter won't end in your hands, but the pursuit of justice will never cease."
Hearing Su Xing's words, Shen Jingyu's eyes filled with astonishment.
"Do you know too much?" Shen Jingyu was certain he had never mentioned anything about their fathers to her.
Su Xing blinked innocently before suddenly recalling someone and something!
"Ah! My mom!" Su Xing exclaimed as she jumped up and quickly grabbed her phone to contact her.
Was Ms. He Xiaoqing still with a dangerous individual?
Fortunately, when Su Xing opened her phone, the first message she saw was from Ling Mo—reassuring news that put her at ease.
Tian Lawrence and He Xiaoqing hadn't discussed much; they merely met to confirm that he had returned and wanted to provide a better life for He Xiaoqing.
In short, he was quite the gentleman trying to pursue her.
He Xiaoqing wore a completely speechless expression. She had already retired, yet here she was being confessed to by an old man who was over a decade her senior and trying to act youthful. Truly, one experiences life until the very end!
Su Xing scrolled through the messages that He Xiaoqing had sent her.
"Dear daughter, I'm fine. That old man is just an infatuated fool."
Su Xing felt utterly speechless: "Um, Mom, I wish you could distance yourself from such rotten peach blossoms soon."
Seizing the opportunity while Su Xing was distracted by her phone, Shen Jingyu retrieved the first aid kit that Qin Yi had brought over earlier. Inside was the bruise ointment he had been researching.
Su Xing never expected that one day she would be pinned down on a bed by a grown man, with his warm palm pressed against her belly.
"Shen Jingyu, are you intentionally trying to take advantage of me?"
Looking into Shen Jingyu's eyes, which were filled with smoldering desire, and seeing his taut expression made her find it amusing.
"If it weren't for your injury, what do you think we would be doing right now?"
Shen Jingyu glanced at Su Xing's teasing gaze; he wasn't feeling too great himself!
"I can't guess."
Su Xing looked at him with a playful smile, genuinely curious about what he could endure.
"Actually, it doesn't hurt."
Shen Jingyu's grip tightened!
"Ah!" Su Xing gasped in surprise.
"Does this feel like it doesn't hurt?" Shen Jingyu's face darkened considerably.
Su Xing rolled her eyes dramatically: "Tsk, are you a purebred straight man or what?"
"No!"
Su Xing's eyes sparkled mischievously.
"Pfft! Hahaha! If you have the ability, don't let your heart race or your breathing quicken!"
Shen Jingyu was left speechless. "You troublesome woman, do you even realize what you're saying?"
