Fate is indeed a strange thing. Just when she thought she was going to find someone, she unexpectedly ran into the very person she was looking for. But let’s not dwell on what was happening over there.
Let’s talk about Su Mingxian's courtyard, where a crowd had gathered. Neighbors and onlookers had come to see the commotion, and of course, there was no shortage of gossip and pointing fingers.
"Wang Daguo's girlfriend?" Su Mingxian frowned. "If you’re his girlfriend, didn’t he explain things clearly to you?"
"Explain clearly? I haven’t seen him for half a month!" Lan Ying’s eyes turned red, her expression twisted with rage. "It’s all your fault, you vixen! You shamelessly cling to my Wang Daguo. Now he even lost his job at the Mechanical Factory. Are you trying to ruin him? You can’t even keep your own man; how dare you try to seduce someone else's boyfriend?"
The more Lan Ying spoke, the more agitated she became, especially when she caught sight of Su Mingxian's beautiful face, which drove her into a frenzy of jealousy. "Isn’t it just because of your pretty face? I’ll ruin it right now and see how you seduce men in the future!"
With that, she charged at Su Mingxian like a madwoman.
Everything happened too quickly; they were too close together. If Lan Ying managed to grab her, that beautiful face might really be ruined.
"Stop!"
In that critical moment, Shen Chi sprinted over at full speed, grabbing Lan Ying's wrist with force. "You dare? As long as I'm here, no one will harm her."
With a powerful throw, he flung her away. His voice was icy cold, and his gaze pierced through the crowd as if life itself would freeze at any moment.
Everyone held their breath as Su Mingxian’s short hair flew in the wind. When she opened her eyes, a tall and familiar figure stood protectively behind her. It felt just like years ago when she was surrounded by wolves in a dark alley; in her most desperate moment, he had descended from above, standing firm against all odds to protect her and her mother and sister while he himself—
Every time she thought of this, Su Mingxian’s heart twisted in pain. That man, covered in blood yet unwaveringly shielding her, was the one who had captured her heart from that moment on. She could never love anyone else again.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The same deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ears, and tears uncontrollably filled her eyes, beginning to fall in large drops.
Su Mingxian struggled to hold back her tears. “I’m fine.”
Her words were light and carefree, but anyone could see the immense grievance etched on her face.
Shen Chi Yi’s gaze turned colder as he looked at the woman lying on the ground.
“What are you looking at? Am I wrong?” Lan Ying spat, her teeth clenched in fury. “Ha! You really have some skills, don’t you? One wild man after another, and you still feel wronged? You’re crying? What do you have to feel wronged about? You’re just a cheap woman.”
“Shut up.” At that moment, Wang Daguo rushed over, panting heavily. He grabbed her and scolded, “Apologize! Hurry up and apologize to Sister Xian!”
“Apologize? Why should I apologize?” Lan Ying’s eyes were red from crying as she clutched his arm. “Wang Daguo, do you have any conscience left? You want me to apologize to this vixen, this loose woman?”
“You?” Wang Daguo was so furious that he raised his hand, and Lan Ying’s eyes widened in shock. “Wang Daguo, are you really going to hit me for this promiscuous woman?”
With a helpless expression, Wang Daguo lowered his hand. “A Ying, stop talking.”
“Why shouldn’t I talk? I want to know what’s so great about her! Why is everyone siding with her?” Lan Ying was becoming increasingly hysterical. “And you—who are you to her? You’ve got enough green on your head to feed a horse, yet you still protect her? You—”
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sharp crack, and suddenly a perfectly good head turned into pieces underfoot.
Everyone was taken aback, looking over in astonishment.
"Paramour?" Shen Chi's face was as cold as ice, his eyes frosty. He nearly gritted his teeth to force out a sentence, "I am Su Mingxian's husband."
