Zi Yue sensed someone embracing her. Startled, she was about to react.
“Yue’er, what’s wrong with you?”
Bai Jinghong’s gentle voice sounded.
Only then did Zi Yue realize that the person before her was actually Bai Jinghong.
That handsome face still bore that familiar, wicked, devilish smirk.
“Why is it you?” Zi Yue was very surprised.
But she did not struggle, simply allowing Bai Jinghong to hold her.
“Why can’t it be me? Speaking of which, my precious little Yueyue, what’s wrong? You’re so absent-minded. Is it…”
Before he finished speaking, Bai Jinghong’s originally roguish, smiling face instantly darkened.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Zi Yue’s slightly reddened cheek.
On that beautiful face, there was still a red, faint handprint.
“Who hit you?” Bai Jinghong’s aura instantly became fierce, his voice icy and deep.
But his eyes were full of heartache.
Zi Yue naturally saw all this, especially the pained look in Bai Jinghong’s eyes.
Zi Yue turned her face away, not letting Bai Jinghong see: “N… No one!”
Bai Jinghong gently turned her face back: “I’m not blind!”
“Was it that bastard Chen Lin?”
Bai Jinghong was almost certain.
Who else around here would dare hit Zi Yue? Only that bastard War God Chen Lin.
Zi Yue said nothing.
“Damn it, I’ll kill him!”
Bai Jinghong’s anger flared. He immediately released Zi Yue and turned to walk towards his car.
That aura—he was truly ready to risk his life against Chen Lin!
Zi Yue was startled. Bai Jinghong going after Chen Lin would be suicide.
Chen Lin was a Profound Level Mid-stage martial artist.
“Don’t! Don’t go!” Zi Yue hurried forward and hugged Bai Jinghong’s waist from behind.
“You can’t bear it?” Bai Jinghong stopped walking, his voice cold.
“No, you can’t go after him. You’ll suffer losses. Don’t go!”
Zi Yue spoke bluntly.
Chen Lin himself was very strong and had so many Underworld Guard underlings, plus people like Impermanence. Bai Jinghong definitely couldn’t win.
“I shouldn’t go?” Bai Jinghong snorted coldly. “If this matter is dropped today, then I, Bai Jinghong, don’t need to exist in Dragon Sea anymore.”
“Can you just listen to me? Don’t go!” Zi Yue still wouldn’t let go.
Bai Jinghong sighed, turned around, and picked Zi Yue up, carrying her directly to the car.
He didn’t place her in the passenger seat, but on his own lap in the driver’s seat.
Zi Yue’s body was practically pressed against Bai Jinghong. There was shyness in her eyes, but compared to before, it now contained an added touch of tenderness.
“Does it hurt?” Bai Jinghong gently caressed Zi Yue’s face.
Zi Yue shook her head: “It doesn’t hurt!”
“But my heart hurts!” Bai Jinghong picked up his phone and dialed Ah Kun’s number.
Soon, the call connected.
Bai Jinghong didn’t know Zi Yue had already left the Hell Organization, but in front of her, he still spoke bluntly: “Ah Kun, take some men and go to the Underworld Win Group!”
“Young Master, give your orders!” Ah Kun already understood what the matter was.
“Smash it up. Smash it thoroughly for me. Beat anyone who tries to stop you.”
“Don’t hold back, keep smashing even if the cops come!”
“Even if you get locked up, you’ll only need to stay twelve hours. I guarantee they’ll come out unscathed, with an extra hundred thousand bonus per person!”
“Understood, Young Master. Rest assured, leave it to me!” Ah Kun guaranteed.
“Good. And one more thing: go tell Cheng Qiang from the Heavenly Dragon Hall that the last matter isn’t over yet. Tomorrow, have him bring his men again!”
“I want the place smashed for three consecutive days. Once that’s done, the debts between him and me are settled. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dragon Hall can wait to be taken over by someone else!”
Finishing his words, Bai Jinghong hung up fiercely.
Zi Yue looked at Bai Jinghong dumbly, her heart about to melt.
To help vent her anger, Bai Jinghong was going all out like this.
Bai Jinghong threw his phone aside and turned to look at Zi Yue.
That peerlessly beautiful face was still as gorgeous, but now it was slightly red and swollen.
Bai Jinghong truly wanted to twist that bastard Chen Lin’s head right off!
“Wait here for me a moment!” Bai Jinghong opened the car door, placing Zi Yue in the seat.
He himself ran towards a small convenience store across the street.
A short while later, Bai Jinghong ran back, holding a popsicle in his hand.
“Couldn’t find an ice pack. Use this popsicle to soothe it for now!”
Bai Jinghong carefully pressed the popsicle against Zi Yue’s cheek, gently rubbing it.
Zi Yue really couldn’t imagine that this prodigal, wicked young master could have such a gentle side.
And he… was also the one who had taken her body.
For a fleeting moment, Zi Yue felt that having her body taken by Bai Jinghong wasn’t a humiliation, but rather a stroke of luck.
But that thought only appeared for a split second.
Actually, part of Bai Jinghong’s intense reaction just now was to win Zi Yue over.
The other part was genuine anger.
Zi Yue had been claimed by him, strictly speaking making her his woman. His woman had been slapped by another man. He absolutely had to stand up for her.
After placing Zi Yue in the passenger seat, Bai Jinghong started the car.
Along the way, the two didn’t speak.
It was Zi Yue who couldn’t help but ask first: “Bai Jinghong, you… why are you so good to me?”
Bai Jinghong turned his head to glance at Zi Yue and couldn’t help but laugh:
“That’s a stupid question. Isn’t it only natural that I’m good to you?”
“What happened between us before, though I was deliberate, because I’m lascivious and I wanted to possess you.”
“But that doesn’t mean I’ll just abandon you!”
Zi Yue was stunned. Bai Jinghong indeed didn’t hold back at all, directly speaking his inner thoughts.
Anyone else would surely have disguised it.
“Of course, if you’re not willing to be with me, I won’t force you!”
“Won’t force me?” Zi Yue pouted. “What if I date and marry another man?”
Bai Jinghong didn’t mind: “If you insist on doing that, what can I do? A forced melon isn’t sweet. Small love clings, great love lets go.”
“If it really comes to that, I’ll just play the video of our passionate night together on the big screen at your wedding.”
“You…” Zi Yue choked.
Hearing the first half, she thought Bai Jinghong really could take it and let it go.
But the second half… oh boy, still threatening her.
Bai Jinghong naturally noticed Zi Yue’s helplessness and laughed heartily: “That video, I’ll milk it for a lifetime!”
“Even if you really get married, I can still say to you: ‘Madam, you wouldn’t want your husband to know about this, would you?’”
“‘Mrs., please take good care of me next time too!’”
“‘Mrs., you seem very sensitive, suddenly getting excited like that!’”
“Hmph… Rogue!”
Zi Yue blushed furiously and turned away huffily, ignoring Bai Jinghong.
Bai Jinghong didn’t bring Zi Yue back to the Bai Family Estate but instead found a hotel under his family’s name and booked a premium suite for her to stay temporarily.
Not that Bai Jinghong didn’t want to bring her back, but he couldn’t right now.
There was still Shen Yaoyao at home.
Those two were colleagues. If he brought her back and the two “sisters” talked, many things would be exposed.
At the very least, he had to wait until the other party started executing Shen Yaoyao’s leaked proposal.
During this period, in case Shen Yaoyao discovered something was off and told Chen Lin, the other side might abandon that proposal, and his scheming would be for nothing.
The safest approach was to keep them apart for now.
He’d let the two sisters meet again later.
Let them experience the feeling of resigning from one company and becoming colleagues again at the next.
Speaking of which, the Four Golden Flowers of the Hell Organization.
So far, he’d met and been intimate with Datura and Blood Enchantress. There were still two flowers left to pluck.
Bai Jinghong was very much looking forward to the remaining Poppy and Red Spider Lily.
Their looks were probably on par with Shen Yaoyao and Zi Yue—all top-tier beauties.
Since they were top-tier beauties, how could he leave them for that great idiot Chen Lin!
Also, that fool Chen Lin came back this time not just to fight for territory and find beauties, but also to investigate his origins.
If he could find that guy’s mom first, and then with her…
He might even score himself a step-dad position!
