Chapter 49: Su Wanjing's Past
Su Wanjing's cheeks were blushing charmingly, radiating an irresistibly enchanting poise as she shyly said with her head lowered, "I already told you, you almost devoured me entirely."
"Uh…" Lin Hai blinked his eyes, sighing in a disappointed 'why can't you be better' kind of way.
But deep down, he was secretly thrilled, having hit the jackpot of 'benefits', heh heh.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Hai smacked his lips, finding himself and his companion almost completely undressed, and was too embarrassed to say another word.
"That… from now on, I belong to you," Lin Hai hesitated for a long time and finally managed to stammer out these words, almost causing Su Wanjing to choke.
She cleared her throat softly, now blushing so deeply that she wished she could find a crevice in the ground to crawl into.
"Wanjing, I'm not what you think, I know I was wrong today, just let me explain first, actually, I sort of lost control of my rationality just now…"
Before he could finish speaking, a flustered Lin Hai attempted to explain, but Su Wanjing once again pounced forward, her tender red lips landing on Lin Hai's thick ones.
"Mmm…" Lin Hai's eyes widened as he looked at the ice queen beauty before him with her eyes tightly shut, his mind buzzing as he once again descended into frenzy.
...
Several minutes later, even with his exceptional stamina, Lin Hai began to feel a bit suffocated.
"Heh," Su Wanjing slowly pulled away from Lin Hai's lips, took a deep breath of fresh air, and shyly reached for the clothes she had just bought today, putting them on.
Once dressed, Su Wanjing returned to her cool ice queen composure, but the shy blush on her cheeks was indescribably attractive, leaving Lin Hai dumbfounded and entranced.
"Lin… you should put on your clothes first," Su Wanjing hesitated, uncertain whether to call him boyfriend, darling, husband? Her mind was plagued with such trivial thoughts, so she finally spoke softly to pull the dazed Lin Hai back to reality.
Scratching his head awkwardly, Lin Hai quickly grabbed the clothes he had bought today and hastily put them on.
Even for Hooligan Lin, who had been through countless romantic encounters, today's situation still had him feeling somewhat out of place.
Finally, both regained their composure, but the enchanting scent in the car couldn't be dissipated so quickly.
Flicking the gear stick, she stepped on the accelerator, Su Wanjing putting on her sunglasses, and the Bentley sportscar shot out like a bullet, speeding like lightning.
Lin Hai took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and smacked his lips; the taste of Su Wanjing's kiss still lingered.
Dinglingling, Su Wanjing's phone rang with a pleasant sound.
She picked up, slightly furrowing her brows at the caller ID, glanced at Lin Hai, hesitated for a few seconds, but answered anyway.
"Hello, Wanjing!" A deep voice came from the phone.
"Dad," Su Wanjing gently replied.
"How have you thought about that matter?" The voice on the phone carried an authoritative tone that commanded respect, even through the phone it was undeniably imposing.
Lin Hai was surprised by the commanding presence of Su Wanjing's father.
But that voice, subtly exerting pressure, made one feel somewhat repressed.
"I…I still want to think about it, because…" Su Wanjing hesitated as she spoke.
"No need to think any further. Unless you can find a stronger man than him, the matter is settled," insisted Old Master Su's voice on the phone, unquestionable and even a bit imperious.
"But…" Biting her red lips, she finally looked at Lin Hai, made up her mind, and said, "Dad, I have the right to freedom, I am not a sacrificial pawn for family interests, I don't like that man."
"You fool, it's not for you to decide; come back here immediately!" the domineering voice on the phone intensified.
As Su Wanjing bit her lip, whenever she thought of that man, who appeared gentlemanly towards her - courteous and seemingly inviolate - but in fact, occasionally revealed a greedy gaze upon her, she felt deep revulsion.
She despised, and resisted most, the idea of being involved with such a hypocritical gentleman, let alone being engaged to him.
Thinking about spending the rest of her life with a person who wears a mask, pretends to be virtuous but whose heart is fiendishly evil, and becoming his wife was something Wanjing found very difficult to accept.
But her own father was a man whose word was law, and family interests compelled her to submit under pressure. Being the daughter of the Su Family, there were things she couldn't choose for herself, including her right to marry. In the eyes of the elders of her family, it was merely a bargaining chip for interest exchange.
"Come back immediately, don't make me send someone to find you." The call ended, and Old Master Su's last words seemed exceedingly cold.
Wanjing's tears fell drop by drop, her extremely aggrieved expression made Lin Hai's heart ache unbearably.
"When I was very little, my mother left me, leaving only my father, uncles, and the servants in the house."
"At that time, my family was very poor, and my father had not yet become the leader of the Su Group, just one of the weaker, more pitiable members of the family."
"Later, my father changed, everything changed, he successfully became the current patriarch of the Su Family, and even took control of the entire family's massive assets and power." Thаnk yоu fоr rеаding. This wаs brоught tо yоu by М|V|L*ЕМРYR.
"Even though they all cherished me, I could always feel a barrier and coldness. Those servants respected me immensely, all because I had a good father; and those uncles with their fake masks flattered me, also because my father's word was law, the leader of the entire family."
"As I grew older, those playboys and wealthy young masters pursued me eagerly, but in their eyes, I didn't see genuine affection, only the interest chain that would be established with the Su Group once they got me."
"In those people's eyes, it was as if they were born devoid of emotions; to them, what mattered were interests, status, glory, luxury, and that sense of superiority that others can't touch."
"And me, I was just a pawn, a pawn for the family's greater and better development."
"My father is a domineering man, even colder after my mother's death, I have never felt paternal love, the only bit of family emotion I have comes from a patch-covered rag doll left by my mother before she died."
"I really don't want to marry someone I dislike, even if I act strong, I seem so powerless, so fragile, so easily broken in the face of that huge family..."
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Everyone has their own sorrow and scars from the past that they cannot reveal.
Everyone has their own difficulties that others find hard to feel.
How could she be that icy beauty who makes countless men drool at this moment?
How could she be the daughter of the Su Family, supported by countless amounts of money and wealth?
Right now, she is more like a weak woman who lost her mother as a child, unable to receive love from her father, unable even to choose her own future happiness.
Lin Hai just listened quietly to every word Wanjing said, watching her crystal-clear teardrops fall onto her legs.
After a while, Wanjing felt as though she had lost the strength to keep living, that drained sensation made her whole body weary.
Suddenly, a strong hand reached out, gently and extremely delicately, carefully wiping the tears from her tender face, speaking deeply and powerfully, "Don't be afraid, if you make a choice one day, right or wrong, I will stand up, and I'll never let you suffer a bit."
Lin Hai looked at Wanjing, everyone has their pitiable side.
But the woman in front of him was definitely worth his protection.
Wanjing's forehead gently touched Lin Hai's chest, nestling against him, that long-lost sense of security quieted her down.
Lin Hai looked at this scene in a daze, having an illusion as if he was back in that night under the moonlight years ago, dressed in desert combat camouflage, leaning on a steel gun, supporting a beauty with one hand, gazing at the moonlight, making an inner choice and vow.
And that captivating figure called "Little Scorpion" who haunted his dreams countless times, now seemed to overlap with Wanjing...
...
Inside a luxury ward of a hospital in Huadu city
Xiao Selang's eyes nearly burst with anger, and his clenched fists seemed ready to unleash terrible power at any moment, "Who is it? Who beat my son like this? Damn it, I will make him regret it!"
A few medical staff stood by the unconscious Xiao Jiba, shivering as they watched the director of the Huadu police department.
On the other side, Ouyang Xiaoya's cold face was almost covered with a layer of frost, biting her silver teeth, she angrily said, "This scum, actually skipping work publicly again, and yet I can't even say he's wrong, it's infuriating."
Achoo, Lin Hai, who was hugging Wanjing lost in thought, was startled by a sneeze, rubbed his nose, and murmured, "Who's bad-mouthing me behind my back? Couldn't be the wife, could it?"
