"What's the rush?"
Tang Si pinned her against the wall, one hand braced by her head, the other cupping her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye. "Hmm?"
The drawn-out question struck Shi Ran's heartstrings like a plucked string, making her tremble with increasing fear.
"I..."
Her guilty gaze flitted around, nowhere to settle. She pursed her lips and murmured, "I... I'm not... I'm not in a rush."
Not in a rush?
Seeing her tightly clenched teeth, almost biting her lip to the point of breaking, she still claimed she wasn't flustered?
"I underestimated you, becoming Huo Xiaohua's girlfriend so quickly. To get revenge on Zhao Wuyan, you're trying every trick in the book to become her sister-in-law?"
Tang Si gritted his back teeth, wishing he could pry open Shi Ran's head to see what she was thinking.
"Ah, sister-in-law..."
Shi Ran's mind went blank. She looked up at Tang Si, her brain working overtime.
After a while, she suddenly came to a realization.
Tang Si had misunderstood her.
"That... I... my relationship with President Huo... Huo Xiaohua has nothing to do with you. Don't you think, Young Master Tang, that you're being nosy?"
She straightened her back, speaking with righteous indignation.
"What did you say?"
Tang Si's expression darkened abruptly. He stared at her with venomous eyes, his grip on her chin tightening slightly.
"I said, I... I just want to be Huo Xiaohua's girlfriend. So, please stay away from me in the future, alright, Young Master Tang!" Shi Ran had never wanted any involvement with Tang Si. But this guy constantly clung to her, even causing Zhao Wuyan to misunderstand her repeatedly and attack her. Shi Ran had always held onto this grudge.
Seeing Tang Si remain silent, she added, "I forgot to tell you, I already know about your past with Zhao Wuyan. You want to use me to strike back at Zhao Wuyan; this won't happen a second time. I also beg you to be merciful and not use me as cannon fodder. I can't handle it."
Initially, Shi Ran had agreed to be his fake girlfriend for tens of thousands of yuan. At that time, she hadn't understood the relationship between Tang Si and Zhao Wuyan thoroughly, which was why she foolishly agreed.
Later, she gradually understood the subtle relationship between Zhao Wuyan and Tang Si, realizing that Tang Si was using her to attack and get revenge on Zhao Wuyan, who had betrayed him.
And she was just a sacrifice.
"Say that again?"
Tang Si clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with anger.
"What I'm saying is the truth."
"In your heart, am I, Tang Si, that despicable?"
The man's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, his turbulent pupils shimmering with an unfathomable emotion.
"...Yes, what I see is the truth... Mmmph..."
Before Shi Ran could finish speaking, Tang Si leaned in and kissed her lips.
His hot lips touched her cool lips, like ice meeting fire, sparks flying.
His kiss grew more intense, making Shi Ran's mind reel. After a while, she snapped back to reality and tried to struggle, but Tang Si restrained her hands with one arm, while the other easily unbuttoned her pants.
Because they were black chiffon pants with a good drape, the moment the button was undone, the pants slid down to her ankles.
"Mmmph... Tang Si, you're insane! This is at the Huo family's!"
Shi Ran's face turned crimson with fright, glaring at him, both angry and indignant.
Tang Si raised an eyebrow and smirked, "You don't dare at the Huo family's, huh? That day in the apartment, you were very forward. What are you pretending to be so pure for now?"
Some things were best left unsaid. Once mentioned, however, they could unsettle certain people.
Her oval face instantly flushed red, like a ripe peach. She said indignantly, "You said you would forget what happened that day!"
