Chapter 227 Let Me Be Willful Once
Zhang Ling had been harboring resentment since Su Rui tricked her: “Mu Feng, why waste words with him? Just grab the recorder and make this guy disappear!”
Finally, Zhang Ling couldn’t hold back anymore and spoke what was on both her and her husband’s mind.
Standing behind Zhang Ling were several high-level bodyguards. They were all former military elites, and some had even trained in special forces!
“Go ahead, make your move if you’re confident,” Su Rui smiled faintly, not taking their threats seriously at all.
Looking at Su Rui’s extremely confident demeanor, Qin Mu Feng suddenly felt worried. This worry came without reason, yet it lingered in his mind and wouldn’t dissipate.
“Why is he so confident?” Qin Mu Feng repeated this question in his mind over and over, but couldn’t find an answer.
From the beginning, Su Rui had never shown even a hint of timidity. That confidence and strength came from deep within his bones and was rooted in his marrow—definitely not something that could be faked!
They say eyes are the windows to the soul, and Qin Mu Feng believed that Su Rui absolutely had reason for his confidence. His self-assurance must be backed by something substantial!
Zhang Ling was waiting for her husband to give the order for the bodyguards to capture Su Rui, but Qin Mu Feng remained silent!
From his position, he had to consider many more factors than a woman like Zhang Ling would.
Sighing softly, Qin Mu Feng knew that he ultimately couldn’t act rashly—this was due to his cautious nature.
If Su Rui truly was an exceptional scion from some powerful family, then taking action against him would create serious problems. If the people backing him came seeking accountability, he would have to bear the responsibility himself and couldn’t let his bodyguards take the fall.
Qin Mu Feng gritted his teeth and finally made his decision—there would be plenty of time later. He could deal with this after a thorough investigation!
“Yueren, I didn’t come here expecting to take you away immediately,” Qin Mu Feng suddenly said.
Qin Yueren raised her eyebrows slightly. She gripped Su Rui’s hand tightly. This fourth daughter of the Qin family, blessed with beauty, figure, and intelligence, knew that today’s events were coming to an end—her third uncle was about to lay his cards on the table.
“Then what does Third Uncle mean?”
“We have already made arrangements with the Ouyang family elders. Your engagement ceremony with Ouyang Xinghai is scheduled for June 18th, exactly one month from now.”
One month?
Upon hearing this, Qin Yueren’s legs almost gave out!
Growing up in a powerful family made her acutely aware of the terrifying power such families wielded! This was especially true for Qin Yueren!
The Qin family alone was difficult enough to deal with, but what about adding the even more formidable Ouyang family?
Did this mean her freedom would last only one short month?
After hiding for two years, she still couldn’t escape!
Seeing Qin Yueren’s pale face, Su Rui immediately understood what she was thinking. He held her tightly and whispered, “A lot can happen in one month.”
Qin Yueren couldn’t understand where Su Rui’s confidence came from, but she didn’t need to. At this moment, only his hand could provide her with warmth.
Qin Mu Feng observed his niece’s reaction closely and said coldly, “One month is very short—it will pass in the blink of an eye. Yueren, don’t think about running away again. China is only so big, and with the Qin family’s resources, finding you would take only minutes. Even if you left the country, you couldn’t escape.”
Qin Mu Feng’s words were ice-cold, devoid of any emotion, not at all like an elder speaking to a younger family member.
There was nowhere to hide, nowhere to run!
Qin Yueren’s face had turned completely bloodless!
“Twenty-eight days from now, I will personally come to take you back to the capital.” At this point, Qin Mu Feng’s eyes moved between Su Rui and Qin Yueren’s faces, and he said coldly, “You’d better make the most of your time!”
“Let’s go!”
With that, Qin Mu Feng and Zhang Ling left with their entourage.
Qin Yuexin, however, didn’t leave with them but walked up to Su Rui instead: “Hello, I’m Yueren’s older sister, Qin Yuexin.”
“Yuexin, hello.” Su Rui nodded. Although Yuexin was the older sister, she was only five years older than Yueren, just thirty years old this year. For Su Rui to call a thirty-year-old woman “big sister” felt too awkward, so addressing her by name seemed better.
This Qin Yuexin was indeed quite beautiful, in some ways even comparable to Qin Yueren. If she weren’t married, she would surely be highly sought after by men in the capital.
In contrast to Qin Yueren’s “husband-prospering fate,” Qin Yuexin had the rare “husband-killing fate.” On her wedding day, when her groom came to pick up his bride, the wedding car was hit on the way. The groom, sitting in the passenger seat, died instantly!
Before they could even complete the wedding ceremony, before her veil could be lifted, before they could enter the bridal chamber, they were eternally separated.
Since then, Qin Yuexin had become a “widow” and remained single until now. Because of her widely known “husband-killing fate,” young men who once admired her beauty no longer pursued her, instead standing aside gossiping and spreading rumors.
The higher one climbed in these so-called upper circles, the more they believed in concepts like feng shui.
That said, whether it was Qin Yuexin or Qin Yueren, whether “husband-prospering fate” or “husband-killing fate,” both were victims of these fatalistic beliefs.
“I’m entrusting Yueren’s matter to you,” Qin Yuexin looked at Su Rui. “Of course, I also want to thank you for helping Ran Long.”
“This is all what I should do. They are my friends,” Su Rui said with a smile.
“No, you are their benefactor,” Qin Yuexin corrected.
“That’s too heavy a term,” Su Rui glanced at Qin Yueren and found her looking at him intently while nodding slightly.
“You deserve this title,” Qin Yuexin said softly. “You’ve already changed Ran Long’s fate, and now you’re about to change Yueren’s fate. Aren’t you their benefactor?”
“Well, since you put it that way, Yuexin, I’ll accept it,” Su Rui stepped aside. “You sisters haven’t seen each other for a long time. Should I give you some space to chat?”
“No need for chatting. I just need to say something to Yueren,” Qin Yuexin said.
She turned slightly toward Qin Yueren and said, “Fourth Sister, they are very determined this time. You need to take this seriously.”
Qin Yueren nodded. She had already sensed their determination.
“Su Rui is right. One month gives you enough time to maneuver. Many things can happen in a month,” Qin Yuexin said. “What you need to do is not give up.”
Qin Yueren nodded and said seriously, “Sister, don’t worry. No matter what, I won’t give up.”
“Good,” Qin Yuexin gave Su Rui a meaningful look and said, “With Su Rui by your side, I feel reassured.”
After Qin Yuexin left, Su Rui took Qin Yueren’s hand and returned to the room.
“I told you not to worry. I’ll handle these matters. Don’t take them seriously—they’re just small flies. Here, have some water.”
Su Rui poured a glass of water for Qin Yueren and was about to turn around to give it to her.
However, when Su Rui turned and saw the scene before him, he nearly bit off his tongue!
At some point, Qin Yueren had removed her qipao and was wearing only moon-white underwear. Her perfect body with its golden ratio proportions was displayed to perfection in the dim light!
Snow-white and towering peaks, a flat abdomen—through the light, Su Rui could even see the faint shadow of the triangular area. Combined with those two legs that could outshine any leg model, Qin Yueren was now more devastating than any internationally famous supermodel!
At this moment, Su Rui simply didn’t know what to do. He seemed to have lost consciousness and control over his body.
Walking barefoot on the floor, Qin Yueren slowly approached. Looking at Su Rui’s labored breathing, she smiled slightly, though her smile contained some bitterness.
“I’ve kept my body for twenty-five years, never letting any man touch it,” Qin Yueren’s smile was beautiful, but her voice was bitter.
Su Rui nodded mechanically, forcibly pulling his gaze away from her body.
“When I was a young girl, I always thought I would save myself for the man I loved most. But now, it seems that day will never come.”
Hearing this, Su Rui’s heart trembled violently. He seemed to see a trace of tragic beauty in Qin Yueren’s eyes.
Tragic beauty, as the name suggests, is beauty tinged with tragedy.
This kind of beauty isn’t true beauty, but rather beauty with the prefix “tragic.”
“Don’t do anything foolish,” Su Rui said softly.
But Qin Yueren shook her head and stretched out her arms, tightly embracing Su Rui’s neck. Her soft body pressed against his chest!
Su Rui felt his breathing almost stop!
“You’re the only man I don’t dislike and actually have some feelings for. I don’t want to give my body to that guy. I don’t want my precious first time to be wasted on him. I don’t want to ruin myself.”
“There’s only one month left. Let me do some things I want to do. Let me be selfish for once.”
Qin Yueren held Su Rui’s neck tightly and breathed softly into his ear: “So, take me tonight, will you?”
Qin Yueren’s voice carried a hint of pleading, while Su Rui’s blood rushed to his head!
“Don’t do anything foolish,” Su Rui said softly again.
He separated Qin Yueren’s hands, lowered his head slightly, and held her face. Looking at the glistening tears in her eyes, he said, “Don’t be so negative. Trust me. I can fulfill what I promised you.”
But Qin Yueren shook her head, wiped away her tears, and smiled, “Am I putting pressure on you like this?”
Su Rui remained silent.
Whether there was pressure or not, he didn’t know, but he certainly wasn’t feeling at ease.
“I’ve been tormented by this cursed ‘husband-prospering fate’ for many years. So many people want to use me as a bargaining chip, but I refuse to let them succeed,” Qin Yueren said softly.
“Giving myself to you—I won’t regret it.”
