It was as if she had fallen straight from heaven to hell, then risen from hell to heaven.
Jiang Chen's next words stunned Ran Miaoyin for a moment.
"What's wrong? You don't want to?"
Jiang Chen looked at Ran Miaoyin, who was standing there dumbfounded, and then said with a light chuckle.
"I do! I do!"
Ran Miaoyin immediately snapped back to reality, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, threatening to spill over.
"If you're willing, why are you crying?"
Jiang Chen walked closer to Ran Miaoyin and said in a very gentle tone.
He gently embraced Ran Miaoyin, pressing her graceful body against his.
It must be said, even with Jiang Chen's extensive experience with women, Ran Miaoyin was an exceptionally beautiful woman.
Originally, Jiang Chen's plan was to use her parents to keep her by his side.
However, after the system told him about the impending apocalypse, Jiang Chen decided to forget that idea.
But now...
Ran Miaoyin seemed to still be useful.
In that case, he would keep her by his side for the time being.
After all, a good vase wasn't bad either.
At this moment, Ran Miaoyin was held tightly by Jiang Chen, inhaling the faint scent lingering from his body, and a charming blush spread across her delicate face.
It was completely different from before.
Even last night, when facing Jiang Chen, she had considered resisting, considered retreating, but now, all that reluctance seemed to have vanished.
Jiang Chen, sometimes, could be very gentle.
"I, I'm just so happy to be acknowledged by Young Master."
As she said this, Ran Miaoyin reached out to wipe the tears from her face.
However, Jiang Chen held her hand, stopping her.
"Like this... the more pitiful you look, the better."
"Huh?"
Ran Miaoyin was stunned by his words.
But in the next moment, Jiang Chen directly bit and kissed her red lips tightly.
This made Ran Miaoyin completely forget everything and begin to respond to Jiang Chen's demands awkwardly.
It was only when Ran Miaoyin was out of breath from the kiss, to the point where her red lips had turned slightly purple, that Jiang Chen finally released her.
Looking at Ran Miaoyin's pitiful appearance, with tears glistening in her eyes, she looked extremely charming and vulnerable.
It was as if she had been forced.
Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.
"Let's go, it's time to go out and meet your childhood sweetheart."
"Young Master, Lin Yan actually..."
Ran Miaoyin was about to speak softly.
Jiang Chen's calm gaze fell upon her.
His face held a smiling expression, but that gaze made the words Ran Miaoyin was about to utter come to an abrupt halt.
"Remember... from now on, when you're by my side, don't talk about other men."
Jiang Chen reached out and pinched Ran Miaoyin's cheek, with enough force to leave a faint red mark on her face, making Ran Miaoyin almost let out a cry of pain.
But she managed to hold it in, and combined with the faint red finger marks on her face, it made her gaze towards Jiang Chen even more pitiful.
"I, I understand, Young Master..."
"Good, as long as you're obedient."
After speaking, Jiang Chen pulled Ran Miaoyin and walked towards the door... Outside the room:
Several black-clad bodyguards stood coldly, confronting a group of people opposite them.
These people were clearly street ruffians, and they were somewhat intimidated by the black-clad bodyguards in front of them.
However, they were only there to show support this time; if things went south, they would just run.
The real protagonist was the young man in front of them—Lin Yan.
His attire was somewhat different from the ruffians behind him, but it was also very ordinary, the kind you wouldn't notice in a crowd.
At this moment, he was angrily staring at the villa in front of him, shouting loudly.
"Jiang Chen! Come out!"
"Miao Yin! Miao Yin! Can you hear me!"
"Miao Yin, you absolutely cannot let Jiang Chen succeed! He's just using your parents to threaten you!"
"Jiang Chen, you despicable scoundrel! What kind of skill is it to bully a woman! If you have guts, come out!"
"Click..."
Just as Lin Yan was thinking of forcing his way in, the password lock on the villa's main door suddenly clicked.
The next moment, two figures emerged from inside the door.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman; the man was dressed in a black suit, with an incredibly handsome face, and the woman wore a white pleated dress, looking delicate and charming.
The ruffians behind them watched with shining eyes.
No wonder Lin Yan dared to come here and shout; it turned out his childhood sweetheart, whom he claimed to have a very good relationship with, was actually so beautiful!
She was even more outstanding than those popular female celebrities!
What a pity! Why didn't they know Lin Yan had such a beautiful childhood sweetheart before!
"Young Master!"
The bodyguards at the door all bowed to Jiang Chen.
"Miao Yin! Jiang Chen! How dare you hit Miao Yin!"
At this moment, Lin Yan looked at Ran Miaoyin, especially at the still visible pinch mark on her face and the unshed tears in the corners of her eyes, and immediately roared in anger!
Upon hearing this, Ran Miaoyin quickly tried to say something.
But the next second, Jiang Chen's calm gaze directly made her swallow the words that had reached her throat.
Remembering Jiang Chen's earlier words, she lowered her head slightly and stood beside Jiang Chen, not daring to speak.
And Ran Miaoyin's reaction, in Lin Yan's eyes, was completely a sign of coercion, of Ran Miaoyin being threatened!
Thinking of this, Lin Yan's eyes flared with fury.
"Jiang Chen! Are you even a man?! What kind of skill is it to threaten a woman?!"
"Threaten? Did I? Miao Yin, do you think I threatened you?"
Jiang Chen smiled, and under Lin Yan's furious gaze, he took Ran Miaoyin's small hand, gently kneading it as he spoke.
Ran Miaoyin, being stared at by Lin Yan, instinctively struggled a bit, but it was only a brief struggle before she allowed Jiang Chen to do as he pleased.
However, that brief struggle was entirely observed by Lin Yan.
Now, he was even more convinced that Ran Miaoyin was being threatened by Jiang Chen!
"Young Master didn't threaten me."
Ran Miaoyin shook her head and said, she looked at Lin Yan, a look of apology in her eyes.
Lin Yan and she had a very good relationship; they had grown up together since childhood, considered childhood sweethearts.
She had even thought they would end up together, but now...
Lin Yan, I'm sorry, Young Master is very good to me.
But obviously, Lin Yan absolutely did not believe Ran Miaoyin's words at this moment.
He was already convinced in his heart that Ran Miaoyin was being threatened; he could tell from Ran Miaoyin's series of actions earlier, plus that apologetic look in her eyes!
Miao Yin, she was definitely forced by Jiang Chen!
"Miao Yin! I know, I know everything! Don't worry, I will definitely save you!"
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Ran Miaoyin's red lips parted slightly, but the next moment, the words she wanted to say couldn't come out.
Because Jiang Chen directly pulled her into his arms with force, and then, under Lin Yan's astonished and angry gaze, once again bit her red lips, beginning to savor them beautifully.
"Jiang Chen! Stop it!!"
Lin Yan watched this scene, his eyes blazing with fury, as if they were about to erupt. He knew that although he and Ran Miaoyin had a very good relationship, he had never even touched Ran Miaoyin's hand since childhood!
And now! Jiang Chen dared! How dare he!
Lin Yan trembled all over with anger!
Unforgivable!
With bloodshot eyes, he charged madly towards Jiang Chen!
But before he could run a few steps!
Several bodyguards directly drew the batons from behind them, cutting through the air, and instantly struck Lin Yan's body!
"Whack! Whack!!"
"Ah!"
The next second, Lin Yan's angry roar stopped, replaced by screams of pain as the batons struck flesh.
