Chapter 126: Kissed Forcibly Again

She felt as if someone were following her.

This is fine, too; we won't interfere with each other.

The two were taking a walk by the lake; across from the artificial lake was the Jian Yining Villa. Shi Youxuan had lived inside for quite a while, so she had a certain affection for the villa.

Back then, she was looking out from the inside; now, she was looking in from the outside. Her status was different, and her state of mind was different, too.

She wondered how Jian Yining was doing. He had been very unhappy when he left the villa back then. She hadn't seen him these past few days, and she had even lost contact with him on QQ.

The two were both business partners and very good friends; Shi Youxuan didn't want to lose his friendship.

The door to the villa opposite opened, and Jian Yining came out from inside.

She happily shouted toward the other side: "A Ning, A Ning." It had only been a few days, but he seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight.

Jian Yining looked toward this side following the sound and also waved at her happily: "Hi, Yingzi!"

However, upon seeing Sheng Hanyu behind her, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and he let his face drop.

Shi Youxuan walked over happily: "A Ning, I sent you messages on QQ, why didn't you reply to me?"

"Didn't want to reply."

Jian Yining lowered his head and kicked the stones under his feet.

Shi Youxuan had heartlessly proposed a three-month relationship to Sheng Hanyu on QQ, told it to Jian Yining as a joke, recounted every little detail of how the two got along to him, and even said that Sheng Hanyu wasn't as cold as he appeared...

She was treating Jian Yining entirely as a buddy, as a male best friend.

But what she didn't know was that every word she said was like a thorn pricking Jian Yining's heart, very painfully.

No man would be willing to listen to the woman he loves frequently mention another man right in front of him!

"Why?" Shi Youxuan widened her eyes.

"No reason."

Sheng Hanyu hadn't pursued the matter of her hiding her identity back then, and Shi Yucheng hadn't asked much about her pretending to be foolish for years and hiding her identity either. Thus, she decided not to get to the bottom of things; she should leave people their privacy and space.

"Fine, if you don't want to say, I won't ask. Can I still come find you to play in the future? Do you still consider me a good friend?" Shi Youxuan blinked her large eyes, looking harmless to humans and animals.

"Of course, when have I ever refused a request you made?" Jian Yining affirmed.

"Settled."

Shi Youxuan was very happy, even wanting to go to the Jian Yining Villa immediately to take a look; after all, she had lived here for so long, and she still missed it a bit.

"You should go back." A cold voice came from behind; Sheng Hanyu reminded her to go home.

Shi Youxuan refused: "You go back first. I haven't seen A Ning for several days, we still have things to say. I'll go back myself after we finish talking."

"No."

Sheng Hanyu refused, and pulling her hand, he walked back; his complexion was so gloomy it could drip ink.

He was angry, the very angry kind.

Does this woman know what she is doing?

She was just smiling at Jian Yining, smiling so brightly; doesn't she know how charming she looks when she smiles?

How heart-stirring it is?

She must not know.

Shi Youxuan only knew now that Sheng Hanyu was too overbearing; this man was too unreasonable, and he was moody, acting on a whim.

"Let go of me, Sheng Hanyu, you jerk."

She struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so she started punching and kicking Sheng Hanyu: "Let go, if you don't let go, I won't be polite to you," Shi Youxuan warned.

The warning didn't work, so she got serious—she went in for a bite!

She bit down on Sheng Hanyu's arm; even though her teeth felt sore, this guy still wouldn't let go, and he didn't even frown.

One move didn't work, so she immediately switched to another; she raised her foot and stomped hard onto the top of his foot—this time she concentrated all her strength into her foot, and at the same time, she was a bit closer to him.

Sheng Hanyu took the opportunity to wrap his arms around her waist, then kissed her overbearingly!

Shi Youxuan suddenly widened her eyes; hateful, it was as if she had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

She pushed, but it wasn't successful.

The man kissed greedily and overbearingly, not even leaving her a chance to breathe.

Shi Youxuan couldn't break free and couldn't dodge, so she could only glare at him, glaring hard!

It was too much; doing this as soon as she was in front of Jian Yining—how would she meet him in the future, how would they still be friends?

Sheng Hanyu didn't care about that; he only knew that Jian Yining was now an opponent, a love rival, someone coveting his woman, so he must make him give up, and make Jian Yining completely cut off any other thoughts about his woman.

He hadn't yet realized that Shi Youxuan had already occupied a very important position in his heart.

A lingering, soul-stirring kiss.

At first she struggled, but later, the instructions sent by her oxygen-deprived brain were no longer clear.

Her struggle was no longer violent; she even took the initiative to hook her arms around the other's neck...

A long time passed.

Seeing Shi Youxuan's little face flushed red, Sheng Hanyu finally let her go, allowing her to catch her breath and breathe freely.

Her little face was flushed; once her consciousness cleared, she pushed Sheng Hanyu away and then ran off in a panic!

Shi Youxuan didn't even notice that the direction she was running in was the Sheng Hanyu Villa.

Her heart was pounding like a little deer; her head was a mess, and now she just wanted to get far away from people—no matter who it was, she didn't want to see anyone.

"Eldest Young Mistress, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her face flushed and her expression flustered as she ran back, while the Eldest Young Master was not following behind, the housekeeper asked curiously.

She ignored him and ran upstairs with a "thump, thump, thump"—"Bang!" She slammed the bedroom door shut.

Whatever the housekeeper had just said, Shi Youxuan hadn't heard at all; her brain was buzzing, and her heart was even more—"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

It was pounding violently.

Through the glass window, she saw Sheng Hanyu had returned, and she hurriedly pulled open the wardrobe door to hide inside!

Shi Youxuan seemed to have forgotten someone, but her heart was too chaotic right now to remember.

Sheng Hanyu had returned, and the housekeeper's mouth hung open in astonishment, forgetting to close it.

He was smiling!

The corners of his mouth were upturned, and he was even humming a little tune; he was in a very pleasant mood.

When was the last time the Eldest Young Master smiled?

The housekeeper recalled that the last time was when the Eldest Young Mistress had just married into the family; there were two times he also had a smile on his lips and was in a pleasant mood.

Later, after the Eldest Young Mistress went missing, he was never seen smiling again, until today when he was finally seen smiling once more.

"Where is she?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Upstairs."

He went to the bedroom, gripped the doorknob, and gave it a gentle push—the door opened, but there was no one there.

She remembered to close the door but forgot to lock it, and though she hid in the wardrobe, she was still found by Sheng Hanyu!

Pulling open the wardrobe door, the little woman was curled up in a ball, hugging a teddy bear doll, looking exactly like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand.

Outside, he was a legend, but his current appearance was weak, pitiful, and helpless.

"That..."

Sheng Hanyu wanted to apologize, wanted to say "I'm sorry."

However, those three words rolled around in his throat several times, but when the words reached his lips, they changed: "Come out."

"No!"

The woman refused very readily, then said in a muffled voice, "You go out, I don't want to see you."

The sound of footsteps faded away; he really did go out.

Shi Youxuan hurriedly came out of the wardrobe, "Bang!" she slammed the door shut, locked it, and used all her strength to drag the table over to brace the door, only then feeling relieved enough to crawl back into the wardrobe.

Her mood gradually calmed down, but her mind kept circling back to the image of Sheng Hanyu forcibly kissing her.

Logically, having been offended, she should be angry and then seek revenge, so why was her heart beating so violently?

Recalling the sensation from just now, she even felt it wasn't bad...

"Oh no! It's ruined!"

Shi Youxuan cried out in alarm, finally remembering that she had left Jian Yining aside just now, and the two of them had been interacting as if they were flirting, and in the end, they had even kissed each other self-forgetfully.
