Chapter 251: Chapter 251: Hard to Separate and Distinguish
"Sangsang, what are you talking about? What black trending search? I don’t understand." Li Juezhou said with a confused expression.
Sang Ning put down her chopsticks. "I heard it all. Stop pretending."
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Li Juezhou pressed his lips together. He had been overly confident about Sang Ning’s sleep quality, thinking she wouldn’t wake up halfway.
Sang Ning vaguely felt that someone had been helping her behind the scenes; otherwise, the black trending search couldn’t have been removed so quickly that day.
But she had no clue who this mysterious benefactor was and had never thought of putting it on Li Juezhou.
"Xiao Li, come clean—are you even more incredible than I imagined?" Sang Ning stared tightly at Li Juezhou, her gaze deadly serious.
Li Juezhou paused before nodding. "Yes."
Previously, he had concealed his identity because he didn’t want Sang Ning to feel burdened when interacting with him.
But since Sang Ning herself had caught on, he didn’t want to hide anymore.
He was just about to say more when Sang Ning raised her hand and interrupted him. "Fine, from now on, I only need to know that you’re incredibly powerful—that’s enough. The rest, I don’t want to hear another word!"
Sang Ning suddenly lost her curiosity to dig further. The fact that her black trending search disappeared so cleanly within hours already proved that Li Juezhou’s power was beyond what she could imagine.
Her abrupt change in attitude left Li Juezhou a bit at a loss. "Sangsang, what does ’I don’t want to say more’ mean? Does it mean you don’t want to be with me anymore?"
This was Li Juezhou’s worry. He feared the disparity in status between them would put pressure on Sang Ning.
"It does a little." Sang Ning was brutally honest, nodding her head. "We’re not from the same circle; it’s troublesome."
Li Juezhou’s heart almost froze—he had expected this, which was why he had always avoided exposing his identity to her.
"Sangsang, I’m willing to integrate into your circle for you. Does that still feel complicated?"
If it were someone else, Li Juezhou would calculate the benefits of being with her.
Being a businessman, he never indulged in anything unprofitable—even marriage or romantic relationships.
But there would always be one person who could break all your principles, and completely without reason—so domineering!
For Li Juezhou, Sang Ning was that one person. He was willing to compromise everything for her.
"That makes it even more troublesome!" Sang Ning’s expression grew stern. "If that happens, it makes me seem like a total failure!"
Li Juezhou spread his hands helplessly. "I thought if I liked you, I should do my utmost to give you the very best. Even if I really spoil you into being a failure, I’d willingly do it."
Sang Ning sighed, stood up from the table, and said, "Thanks for hosting me. It’s time I went home."
Sang Ning pushed her chair back and walked off, which sparked an inexplicable flame of anger within Li Juezhou.
Though he’d never dated anyone before, he knew that if you truly liked someone, you should give them the very best.
He had been trying his hardest to be the best he could be, so why was Sang Ning still trying to push him away?
Before Sang Ning could leave the restaurant, Li Juezhou chased after her and grabbed her wrist forcefully, trying to pull her back.
But the person he grabbed wasn’t just an ordinary girl; she wasn’t bound to easily yield.
Sang Ning reacted swiftly, spun around, and locked his arm, aiming for an over-the-shoulder throw.
Li Juezhou had undergone genuine training while serving in the police force, and his combat abilities were strong.
When Sang Ning attempted the throw, he seized her waist and lifted her clean off the ground.
Sang Ning responded by delivering a horizontal kick, hooking her toe on Li Juezhou’s waist, trying to flip him over.
The two fought fiercely, neck and neck, with no clear winner.
At first, Li Juezhou was a bit furious, but as he fought with Sang Ning, he unexpectedly started laughing.
Eventually, he eased up, letting Sang Ning successfully execute the over-the-shoulder throw.
When he landed heavily on the ground, he lay sprawled out, gazing at the ceiling with no intention of retaliating.
Sang Ning, worried she might have seriously injured him, crouched down and asked, "Are you okay?"
At that moment, Li Juezhou suddenly raised a hand, grabbed Sang Ning’s neck, and without giving her time to react, kissed her directly—and even bit her lip hard.
This time, it was Sang Ning who erupted in anger. Such a shameless, despicable ambush!
She raised her hand, ready to strike him with a hand chop, but Li Juezhou caught her wrist instead.
An uncontrollable wicked flame ignited within Sang Ning, and she bit down fiercely on Li Juezhou’s lip in retaliation.
Pained, Li Juezhou still refused to release Sang Ning, instead deepening the kiss with unrelenting force.
Sang Ning was so angry she could have exploded, attacking his lips wildly with no decorum, sparing no strength.
Only when the taste of blood filled their mouths did Li Juezhou finally let go of her.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, a wounded look in his eyes as he gazed at Sang Ning. "Sangsang, you really went all out—I didn’t even tear your lip for real."
"Pervert!" Sang Ning spat several times in succession, vigorously wiping at her mouth with the back of her hand.
"Li Juezhou, are you crazy or what!" Sang Ning yelled furiously.
Li Juezhou fixed his gaze on Sang Ning, the corner of his mouth quirking into a sinister smile. "Sangsang, you hit the nail on the head—I’m exactly that: a lunatic. If you truly leave me, I’ll go insane!"
Humans are innately greedy, never content with what they possess.
Li Juezhou had never realized the terrifying extent of his possessiveness toward Sang Ning. He wasn’t content being just her trial boyfriend any longer; he wanted to be her real boyfriend—or even her husband.
A control freak paired with a reckless fighter was destined for unrest.
Sang Ning loathed being confined, and Li Juezhou had the unsettling air of someone who might tie her down at home at any moment.
"Then you better go to hell right now!" Sang Ning didn’t hold back, delivering an elbow strike to Li Juezhou’s abdomen.
Sang Ning had expected him to fight back this time, but to her surprise, he took the hit without retaliating.
A muffled groan of pain echoed out, and Sang Ning was momentarily stunned.
Looking at Li Juezhou, who now frowned in pain, she asked, "Aren’t you supposed to fight back? What kind of man doesn’t retaliate?"
"Sangsang, didn’t you say you wanted me dead? Shouldn’t I grant your wish?" Li Juezhou said weakly.
Sang Ning was truly at her wit’s end. If craziness had rankings, Li Juezhou would undoubtedly be at the King’s Rank.
She gave up; she couldn’t bring herself to watch someone suffer like that.
"Stand up already." Sang Ning grabbed Li Juezhou’s shoulder, helping him upright.
"Li Juezhou, I didn’t even say I was canceling your trial boyfriend status yet—why are you acting so crazy?"
Sang Ning lashed out at him mercilessly. Earlier, she’d just wanted to fetch something from the bedroom and have a proper talk with him.
But the guy, without a word, ambushed her out of nowhere.
