"I know what you're after," the boy's smile carried a dark aura. He lowered his head, like a starving wolf staring at prey, his gaze gloomy and cold. "Everything Wei Jingzhou can give you, I can give you ten times over. What do you think?"
Shen Yue hadn't expected Bai Bo to go this far.
She had thought that a young master like him wouldn't stoop to finding her.
Bai Bo's threat, in Shen Yue's view, wasn't entirely without merit. There was never too much to provoke a villain.
The two were very close, like intimate lovers.
The boy lowered his head, their breaths almost mingling, and placed his hand on the back of the girl's neck, as if controlling her entirely.
As Shen Yue couldn't bear it any longer and turned her head to avoid the boy's hot breath, she looked up and saw Wei Jingzhou standing not far away, his expression blank.
The girl's delicate and pure face instantly turned pale.
Bai Bo seemed to sense it and also turned his head to look, showing no surprise, as if he had anticipated it.
He even managed a smile, as if silently provoking.
The girl seemed to finally realize how intimate their actions were and instinctively pushed Bai Bo away, her eyelashes trembling with helplessness and unease.
Bai Bo, pushed away, was not angry, because he knew better than anyone that this vain girl could never be with a fallen commoner.
Now that Wei Jingzhou couldn't even protect himself, what right did he have to compete with him?
But Bai Bo, as if it wasn't enough, pulled the girl behind him, blocking her from view.
Shen Yue was stunned. When she looked up again, Wei Jingzhou was striding towards them, his face terrifyingly grim.
The stark white light illuminated the man, but could not penetrate the darkness in his eyes.
Shen Yue moved past Bai Bo and walked towards Wei Jingzhou, almost running. Her slender and graceful figure was like a beautiful but fragile butterfly, flying towards the man.
Left behind, Bai Bo couldn't maintain his smile, the lingering touch on his fingertips still warm and delicate.
But the girl who had just looked at him with a displeased expression had already gone to another man's side.
His dark pupils were as deep as a cold abyss, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
Wei Jingzhou grabbed her hand. They didn't say a word. Wei Jingzhou cast a cold glance at Bai Bo, then dragged her out.
The man's legs were long, his strides were large, and he paid no attention to the girl behind him. The large hand holding her wrist was like a branding iron, and Shen Yue was almost dragged along by him.
Bai Bo watched them leave, standing in the same spot for a long time.
Wei Jingzhou had driven himself. He was at the entrance of the performance hall. He had finally managed to free up some time from his busy schedule to watch Shen Yue's performance, but he was still late. After asking many people, he found Shen Yue's location, only to witness a scene that made him furious.
Shen Yue's wrist hurt from being pulled, and she stumbled along the way, almost falling several times, but the man didn't slow down at all.
This made Shen Yue somewhat displeased. She struggled to pull her hand free, and when Wei Jingzhou tried to pull her into the passenger seat, she struggled even harder.
She even accidentally scratched the man's face.
Shen Yue's wrist was almost crushed by him, but the enraged man didn't notice the pain on the girl's face. He simply pointed at the passenger seat with a gloomy brow, his voice icy.
"Get in."
Shen Yue instinctively took a step back, even having the urge to turn and run.
But her action clearly angered Wei Jingzhou further. Without a word, he forcefully and roughly pushed her into the passenger seat, and despite her struggles, he fastened her seatbelt.
Their faces suddenly came very close. Veins bulged on the man's forehead, yet he forcibly restrained himself, making his handsome face contort.
"You'd better behave yourself and think about what you're going to say to me when we get back."
The girl's scalp tingled under his gaze. Her eyes were red and her shoulders trembled slightly, but she stopped struggling.
She just trembled her lips and called out.
"Wei Jingzhou..."
Her voice was soft and wronged, with a hint of imperceptible fear.
Wei Jingzhou seemed to pause for a moment. He reached out and intimately stroked the girl's soft hair, his tone gentle to the point of being frightening.
"Don't call me. You don't want to explain everything to me right here, do you?"
Fortunately, even though Wei Jingzhou was losing control, he drove relatively steadily.
Pulled into the apartment by Wei Jingzhou, the door was casually closed with his foot.
Everything outside was shut out. Shen Yue could even hear the man's rapid breathing.
Shen Yue followed behind the man. Before she could react, he suddenly turned and hugged her.
Shen Yue was startled and reflexively tried to push him away and run, but Wei Jingzhou held her firmly. He didn't let go, even as the girl panicked and patted his chest, but instead held her tighter.
"Wei Jingzhou, it's not what you think..."
The girl was clearly terrified by the man before her. Her soft voice was laced with tears, making her look pitiful and lovable, making one want to cradle her and comfort her, unwilling to let her shed another tear.
But Wei Jingzhou remained unmoved. He carefully and slowly observed the girl's face, his gaze finally resting on her bright red lips.
He suddenly let out a soft, unreadable laugh and murmured.
"Yueyue's lips are so red. Did you kiss Bai Bo?"
His deep, flat tone was chillingly gentle. Shen Yue's heart turned cold. She quickly reached out and hugged his neck as if to appease him.
Her beautiful little face was helpless and pitiful, her long, dense eyelashes trembled, and her star-like eyes also welled up with a mist.
"No, I bit them until they were red. I didn't kiss him."
Wei Jingzhou lowered his head, unsure if he believed this explanation. Looking at his indifferent face, the girl trembled as she explained.
"We, we just talked a few words. Nothing else. Wei Jingzhou, don't misunderstand."
Upon hearing this, Wei Jingzhou suddenly leaned closer. His dark eyes lacked any light. He leaned into Shen Yue's ear and said angrily, his voice filled with jealousy, pain, and a chilling coldness.
"I misunderstand? Shen Yue, I saw it all. I saw him touching your lips, and you didn't pull away. If I hadn't come, would you have kissed him in public?"
Shen Yue took a step back, only to be pulled close again by Wei Jingzhou. He then held her waist tightly. He laughed in anger, "Why are you dodging? Are you feeling guilty?"
Of course, there was no guilt. Shen Yue was simply frightened by the expression on his face.
