Chapter 631: Scumbag Lin Yuan

The door opened, but outside the door, it was empty?

I didn't even hear Yu Meng's moan?

Lin Yuan's heart gave a thump?

Could Yu Meng really have gotten into trouble?

Lin Yuan's gaze... swept across the empty hallway.

His vigilance grew ever stronger!

Lin Yuan's fingertips unconsciously tensed, preparing to deal with any sudden situation.

Just as Lin Yuan was dazed... examining his surroundings.

A slender shadow suddenly darted out from the shadows of the hallway corner...

That graceful figure lunged straight at Lin Yuan's back.

"Who?!" Lin Yuan's nerves suddenly tensed!

His years of vigilance instinct kicked in instantly...

Lin Yuan didn't even think... he turned sideways and, at the same time, grabbed the shadow's wrist with a reverse grip!

Lin Yuan used the opponent's lunging momentum... and with a smooth twist and pull.

Only a muffled "Thud!" was heard.

Accompanied by a sharp cry of pain...

That graceful figure was thrown down by Lin Yuan's clean over-the-shoulder toss... flipped and pressed to the ground!

The figure's arm... was locked behind their back by Lin Yuan, unable to move.

"Ah......!" Yu Meng winced in pain all over.

Her eyes instantly filled with tears...

Her delicate body... was firmly pressed by Lin Yuan onto the cold floor.

Yu Meng's back... felt waves of dull pain.

Along with it, her ankle and buttocks... felt as if they had been knocked apart.

Lin Yuan held the person down, still wanting to further restrain them, but his nose... caught a familiar fragrance?

Hmm?? This scent??

Lin Yuan felt it was very familiar.

He strained to lower his head and look?

Only then did he see clearly that the woman pressed beneath him was actually Yu Meng??

This scent was unique to Yu Meng, mixed with the sweet aroma of cocktails.

Lin Yuan's heart jolted, and he quickly loosened his grip.

He bent down and helped Yu Meng up from the ground.

Yu Meng was now biting her lip, tears sliding down her cheeks, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

"Yu Meng? How could it be you?" Lin Yuan's face full of surprise, his tone full of some surprise.

"What are you doing? Suddenly coming to my house? Then suddenly lunging at me to scare me! I thought it was an assassin sent by enemies, so I acted." Lin Yuan explained.

Yu Meng rubbed her wrist, which was numb from being twisted, and also touched her swollen buttocks...

Her tears fell even more fiercely.

Yu Meng's voice thick with nasal congestion, she choked: "You... you threw me and hurt me, waa waa waa... my foot hurts, my butt hurts..."

She slightly moved her ankle, and another wave of heart-piercing pain...

The pain made Yu Meng unconsciously furrow her brows, she could barely stand.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

Lin Yuan apologetically said: "Sorry sorry, I didn't know it was you. It's all my fault for being too vigilant, I acted without clarifying."

He supported Yu Meng's arm, letting her try to stand steady.

But as soon as Yu Meng exerted force, her ankle shot with sharp pain...

Yu Meng's delicate body swayed again instantly.

"I can't walk, it hurts so much..."

Yu Meng leaned aggrievedly into Lin Yuan's embrace, her eye sockets reddening.

Even her voice softened...

At this moment, Yu Meng had lost her former slyness, leaving only vulnerability.

Lin Yuan lowered his head to look...

All he saw was her ankle... already visibly red and swollen.

Along with it, her buttocks... also faintly showed redness, obviously she had fallen hard.

Lin Yuan's heart softened, helpless.

Lin Yuan could only bend over and scoop her up horizontally.

Lin Yuan said gently: "Alright, I'll carry you inside, I'll massage your ankle to ease the pain a bit."

Yu Meng gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck.

Her cheeks instantly flushed, yet she didn't struggle, obediently leaning into his embrace.

At this moment, Yu Meng's mouth corner instead curled into a sly sweet smile.

Lin Yuan held her as he walked indoors, then backhandedly closed the door.

Lin Yuan gently placed her on the soft sofa.

Lin Yuan then squatted down.

Lin Yuan's fingertips paused slightly, and he carefully grasped her ankle.

Lin Yuan said gently, "Just bear with it; I'll give you a massage to promote circulation and dispel stasis."

Lin Yuan's fingertips…… carried just the right warmth.

He applied steady pressure to the swollen area.

He followed Yu Meng's foot meridians…… and gently massaged and pressed.

At first, Yu Meng frowned due to the pain.

But as Lin Yuan's pressure seeped in……

Immediately, Yu Meng looked at him with eyes full of surprise.

Yu Meng asked in surprise, "Manager Lin, do you also know massage? Your technique is too comfortable."

She had thought Lin Yuan was just going through the motions, but she hadn't expected…… Lin Yuan to be this professional.

Lin Yuan's hand movements didn't stop, and he replied in a calm tone:

"I have a background in traditional Chinese medicine, so I still have these basic skills."

Lin Yuan's fingertips alternated pressure, precisely landing on the key acupoints for relieving swelling.

He looked at Yu Meng's foot, and that patch of swelling gradually subsided a bit……

Only then did Lin Yuan let out a slight sigh of relief.

Upon hearing that, Yu Meng playfully stuck out her tongue.

She suddenly realized, "Oh~ I almost forgot about that. No wonder your technique is so good, even more professional than the masseuses outside."

Speaking, Yu Meng deliberately wiggled her toes, the red nail polish…… especially conspicuous under the light.

Lin Yuan glanced at her, and his hand pressure eased slightly.

Lin Yuan asked with a hint of seriousness: "Tell me, how did you know my address? It's past three a. m., you're not sleeping at home, what are you doing running over here?"

He had wanted to ask that for a while, but he'd been busy treating her ankle and hadn't had a chance to speak.

Yu Meng's eyes flickered……

Immediately, Yu Meng openly met his gaze.

Yu Meng's tone…… carried a sense of matter-of-factness:

"I found it in the employee records; when we were compiling emergency contact info earlier, you filled in your address."

She said this, leaning her body slightly forward……

In Yu Meng's eyes lay plain affection.

Yu Meng's voice softened: "Manager Lin, I've said it—I miss you, so I came to see you."

Lin Yuan looked at her confident, self-assured demeanor and was momentarily speechless.

Lin Yuan helplessly rolled his eyes: "It's past three a. m., you're not sleeping, and I'm still tired. I'll finish massaging you, then I'll drive you home."

He still has to negotiate with Qian Shoude tomorrow; he needs to guarantee sufficient rest, and really doesn't have the energy to waste time with her.

Yu Meng immediately shook her head, her head wobbling like a rattle drum.

Yu Meng said firmly, "No, I'm not going back."

Lin Yuan's hand movements paused, and he looked up at her.

Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of annoyance: "What else do you want? Are you planning to stage a rebellion in my house?"

Yu Meng met his gaze, her eyes full of stubbornness.

She said bluntly with a touch of cute coyness, "I want to sleep at your place."

Lin Yuan was amused by her words, yet annoyed and helpless: "Why don't you just say you want to dream? Stop fooling around—I only have one bed, no room for you to sleep."

Yu Meng immediately pouted, pointing to her still slightly swollen ankle.

Yu Meng spoke with a hint of grievance: "My foot is injured, and you're still sending me home? As a woman walking alone this late, what if I run into a pervert and get bullied?"

She said this, feigning a bit of fear, while her eyes hid a hint of sly testing.

Lin Yuan looked at her blatantly provocative act and was utterly speechless……

After a few seconds of silence.

Lin Yuan ultimately couldn't bring himself to let her go alone.

Lin Yuan could only compromise: "Alright, alright, I guess I'm afraid of you. Then I'll drive you home—does that work?"

Yu Meng, however, still refused, grabbing Lin Yuan's wrist in one swift motion.

Yu Meng's fingertips lightly rubbed his skin.

Yu Meng cooed in a soft, spoiled tone: "No, I'm sleeping at your place tonight, okay?"

Her palm conveyed a warm touch, her eyes full of anticipation and pleading……

Yu Meng clenched his hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Lin Yuan furrowed his brow, trying to pull his hand back, and firmly refused: "No, let go quickly. Men and women shouldn't be intimate; as a young woman, staying overnight at a guy's place—what would that look like?"

Yu Meng not only didn't loosen her grip, she clenched even tighter.

Yu Meng moved closer to Lin Yuan.

Yu Meng's voice was alluring…… and also carried a hint of blatant seduction.

She, deliberately lowering her voice: "I took Yuting; the 24‑hour effect is still there, Manager Lin—don't let it go to waste, okay?"

Yu Meng said this, lightly shaking his wrist, her eyes full of undisguised ardor.

Lin Yuan stiffened all over, looking at her face so close.

He again recalled…… the scene from the bar restroom.

Lin Yuan's heart instantly stirred with ripples.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan finally gritted his teeth.

He yanked his wrist back hard, his tone edged with deliberate harshness.

Lin Yuan avoided her scorching gaze: "No, even fooling around needs limits. I don't binge-eat; I must keep proper limits—having eaten enough is enough."

Lin Yuan's gaze flickered, obviously feeling a bit guilty.

"You're lying!" Yu Meng immediately retorted.

"Manager Lin, since you like it, tonight I'll give you a 'pill', okay?"
