Chapter 2234: Love Caught in the Fate Loop 33

Xie Guan stared at his back until he could no longer see him, then abruptly turned back, grabbed Jin Chen's collar, and lowly growled through clenched teeth.

"You are mine."

Jin Chen let out a muffled laugh from his kiss, pecked his lip corner, tone indulgent and permissive, "Yours, yours."

Xie Guan then reluctantly satisfied, yet still refused to let go, instead holding him tighter.

Jin Chen lowered his head, his nose brushing his ear, voice so gentle it was almost unreal: "Are you jealous?"

Xie Guan's chest heaved violently; although he himself had actively asserted dominance, an inexplicable sourness welled up at this moment.

Something's wrong; if he had agreed to him back then, it would have been fine.

If he hadn't pushed him away because of exam preparation, no one would dare covet Jin Chen now.

Xie Guan was angry at himself, pressed his lips tight, then suddenly pulled Jin Chen in and kissed him hard, deep and urgent.

Jin Chen indulgingly gripped the back of his head, deepening the kiss.

By the time Xie Guan finally let go, both of their breaths were disordered.

Jin Chen's lips were reddened by his bite, yet his eyes brimmed with amusement; he lightly brushed his thumb over the corner of his mouth and asked softly, "Such strong jealousy, Xiao Guan, you almost bit through my lip."

Xie Guan said nothing, merely hugged him fiercely, burying his face in the crook of his neck, arms locked tight.

Jin Chen startled, then placed his palm on his back and gently patted, as if soothing a spooked cat.

"What are you afraid of?" he murmured against Xie Guan's ear, voice low and magnetic with a hint of teasing, "Can I even run?"

"You dare."

Xie Guan tightened his arms further.

Jin Chen chuckled, lowered his head to kiss the top of his head, "No dare, welcome this junior to come anytime to supervise and inspect."

Xie Guan's ears heated, finally released him, straightened his face and glared: "... Who wants to inspect you."

Jin Chen raised an eyebrow, deliberately leaned in, his nose brushing his, "Then just now, who bit me?"

Xie Guan: "..."

【Villain Heartthrob Value +5, total 90!】

Shao Huai watched the drama on the side with relish, finally couldn't help interjecting: "Enough, enough, if you keep being lovey-dovey the reserved meal will get cold."

Xu Yi smiled, raised his phone, "But I've already recorded it; it can be used as wedding material later."

Jin Chen smiled and took Xie Guan's hand.

"Let's go, eat."

——

Restaurant.

The four of them talked about the previous apartment incident, still feeling somewhat sigh-inducing about Zhao Chunmei and the others' final verdict and conviction.

Suddenly, Jin Chen's chopstick tip paused in the bowl; as he lifted his gaze, a cold gleam shot toward the lush fiddle-leaf fig in the corner,

Between the leaves, a gaze flashed like a blade, then swiftly vanished.

Jin Chen's tiger's mouth tapped lightly under the table, the knuckle rhythm a signal used during police academy training.

Shao Huai's eyes shifted slightly; in tacit understanding he rested on Xu Yi's shoulder, feigned intimacy by leaning back slightly, scanned, then withdrew his gaze and shook his head.

No suspicious person was found.

Xie Guan and Xu Yi likewise noticed Jin Chen's hint.

Xu Yi went to reach for the pepper bottle, his peripheral vision sweeping the restaurant columns, but only caught a fleeting afterimage.

Xie Guan's knuckles pressed against the knife.

"This sauce is sweet to the point of cloying." Jin Chen remarked with a smile, his fingertip rubbing the inside of Xie Guan's wrist bone, soothingly.

"This crab meat is far too old." Xu Yi deliberately raised his volume; Xie Guan obliged by slamming his fork onto the plate.

Jin Chen, taking advantage of the tidying motion, caught from the reflection the spark of a cigarette butt flashing outside the window

In the reflection of the floor-to-ceiling window on one side of the restaurant, a gray-clad man stood in the shadow of the streetlamp.

The red glow of the cigarette butt between his fingers flickered, yet his gaze locked firmly on Xie Guan, like a butcher weighing the throat of a lamb awaiting slaughter.

The scar winding like a centipede at the man's eye corner did not resemble Sun Liwei, whom the police had captured.

Jin Chen was about to rush out when he suddenly saw the private room door pushed open.

The newly arrived server approached bearing a silver tray, his knuckles rough, the calluses on his tiger's mouth unmistakably from years of gripping a knife.

Jin Chen's pupils contracted sharply; the person who had just come in to place an order was clearly a ponytail girl.

He abruptly pulled Xie Guan behind him and flung the dining knife outward.

Xie Guan's reaction was equally swift; he overturned the table, the ceramic plate striking the server.

A cold light flashed from the server's cuff as a dagger thrust straight at Xie Guan's heart.

Xie Guan's expression unchanged, he backhanded snatched a wine bottle and hurled it.

Wine and blood spatter sprayed together onto the abstract painting on the wall, resembling the blood spatter of a crime scene.

Jin Chen; "..."

No wonder he's my wife.

The server obviously hadn't expected that among these four people, three could fight, leaving one…

Where is the person!

The server clutched his chest, looking left and right, seeing Xu Yi close the private room door, leaning against it, his brows calm and arched.

Server:???

In the next instant, he was subdued, person and knife together.

Shao Huai is now very adept; he simply used his coat to bind the person to a chair, "Who are you, Sun Liwei's man?"

The assassin disguised as a server: "..."

The information is wrong.

Absolutely wrong!

The employer didn't say that the person to be killed is just a freshly adult student who's only been out of school for two years, right!

Jin Chen held a dinner knife to his throat, 'Speak!'

The assassin assessed the situation and immediately betrayed the employer cleanly.

"He really was hired by Sun Liwei." Shao Huai chuckled, "This person is still wanted by the police—what guts."

Xu Yi frowned, 'I recall that policeman said it was a secret arrest; did Sun Liwei hear some wind, how did he suddenly want to kill Xie Guan?'

Jin Chen: 'What means do you use to contact Sun Liwei? Take us to find him.'

The assassin quickly reported the address.

"What?" All four were shocked.

Xie Guan: 'Did Sun Liwei return to that apartment?'
