"Let go."
Su Ding spoke wearily, her numb face conveying refusal.
A surge of anger instantly flared in Jin Ye's heart. He released Su Ding and forcefully pressed down on her shoulders.
"Su Ding, I won't allow you to ruin yourself like this, do you hear me? I won't allow it!"
He stared intently into her vacant eyes, his face contorted with rage.
Su Ding curled her lips into a cold smile. "And who do you think you are?"
Seeing her like this, Jin Ye felt an urge to beat her senseless. Her distant, indifferent demeanor was like sharp knives piercing his heart.
"You are my woman."
He gripped her chin, forcefully bringing his face close to hers. "Do you hear me?"
Su Ding let out a soft laugh. She raised her hand and playfully cupped his face. "Am I?"
Jin Ye was momentarily stunned by her action.
"Yes," he stated firmly.
Su Ding looked up, gazing at his determined and affectionate eyes, her heart softening.
"But I don't like you at all."
She lowered her head, speaking cruelly.
Jin Ye's dark eyes narrowed. His next move was to simply pick Su Ding up.
Su Ding's body lightened, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck!
Jin Ye's expression turned extremely cold. He walked briskly, ascending steps, entering the elevator, and reaching the doorway.
No matter how Su Ding struggled, it was useless!
Nestled in his arms, Su Ding's heart pounded faster. She wanted to break free from him.
But the moment her body touched him, it felt as if all her strength had been drained away…
"Where's the key?" Jin Ye asked deeply.
"I don't know," Su Ding said defiantly, glaring at him. "Put me down."
"I won't. If you don't tell me, I'll take it by force," Jin Ye warned, his eyes locked onto her provocative gaze.
Su Ding frowned. Did he intend to hit her?
Her body tensed, ready to retaliate at any moment…
"Do you dare?" she retorted coldly.
A pair of domineering, burning hands moved towards her waist, fumbling into her pockets.
Her clothes were already thin, and the moment his hands touched her body, she could clearly feel his warmth and touch.
Her waist was precisely her sensitive spot.
She couldn't help but tremble and swiftly grabbed Jin Ye's neck.
"Stop, or I won't be polite!"
Jin Ye's neck was held by those delicate yet strong hands, yet he showed no fear.
He lowered his head to meet her gaze.
He believed she wouldn't truly harm him. He continued searching for the key…
Su Ding's cheeks flushed red from his touch. She glared at him angrily, her grip tightening on his neck. "Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"No,"
Jin Ye replied plainly, his hands still searching her body.
Su Ding could no longer tolerate it and shouted, "That's enough! I'll get it myself. Put me down."
"Alright."
Jin Ye finally put her down, but his hands remained on her shoulders, keeping a close watch on her.
Su Ding's face darkened. She retrieved the key from beneath a potted plant by the door and opened it.
As she pushed the door open, she heard Shao Lin's voice from behind.
"Brother Jin, you're really here!"
Upon hearing that voice, Su Ding's anger ignited. Her eyes shot hateful glares at Shao Lin.
How dare this woman show up again?
She strode forward, intending to teach Shao Lin a lesson.
Shao Lin recoiled in fear, stuttering, "Brother Jin, save me!"
Jin Ye approached, embracing Su Ding's waist from behind and blocking her.
He then turned a cold gaze to Shao Lin. "Why are you here?"
"Auntie, Auntie's blood pressure rose, and she was sent to the hospital. I came to get you," Shao Lin said, looking at him pitifully and softly.
"What?" Jin Ye's expression changed.
"Really. If you don't believe me, call Xiao Xi and ask. Uncle is also at the hospital."
Jin Ye released Su Ding and immediately called his father.
Su Ding shoved Jin Ye away and stepped forward, clenching her teeth, and slapped Shao Lin across the face…
Shao Lin didn't even have time to react. Five finger marks instantly appeared on her face!
"Su Ding!"
She shouted indignantly and lunged forward, intending to grapple with Su Ding. But the moment Su Ding made a move, she accurately grabbed Shao Lin's hair.
Tugging fiercely, she pinned Shao Lin against the wall.
"You still dare to come here? I'll make you pay with your life!"
Su Ding had trained abroad, and Shao Lin was no match for her.
She yanked Shao Lin's hair forcefully, tearing at her scalp, and slammed her head against the wall!
"Brother Jin, save me!"
Jin Ye turned back and saw Su Ding about to slam Shao Lin's head against the wall. Although he disliked Shao Lin, if something truly happened, Su Ding would undoubtedly be in trouble.
"Su Ding!"
He roared and grabbed Su Ding's wrist.
Su Ding didn't let go, her eyes fixed on Shao Lin with bloodshot fury. "You killed my daughter. Do you think you can just get away with this?"
"Su Ding!" Jin Ye couldn't pry Su Ding away and had to use more force.
His grip wasn't controlled, and Su Ding was flung away.
The next moment, Shao Lin lunged into Jin Ye's arms, catching even him off guard.
Su Ding shakily got up, leaning against the wall. She turned to look at the couple, her eyes brimming with hatred so thick it threatened to spill over.
"I'm telling you, I won't let this go. Get out!"
A flicker of pain flashed in Jin Ye's eyes. He forcefully shoved Shao Lin, who was clinging to him, away.
"I'm not..."
"Get out!"
Su Ding refused to listen to his explanation, stepped into the room, and slammed the door shut.
Jin Ye was anxious, but remembering his father's words about his mother being in the hospital, he could only leave in a hurry.
Shao Lin concealed the cold smile in her eyes and followed him out.
...
That evening, Su Ding sat on the bed, holding a photo of Xiao Rui, tears streaming down her face.
She still couldn't accept this reality.
How could such an adorable little angel have suddenly vanished?
She regretted getting involved in this mess with her child. She should have left the child abroad and handled these bitches herself.
Then Xiao Rui wouldn't have left…
As she cried, she unconsciously drifted off to sleep.
In the middle of the night, a heavy knocking sound at the door woke Su Ding from her slumber.
The sound was loud and urgent, suggesting ill intent.
Su Ding woke up from her sleep, got up, and looked through the peephole at the door.
Two burly, imposing men were forcefully banging on the door.
A neighbor, disturbed by the noise, came out to curse, but upon seeing the two men, retreated timidly back into their apartment.
Su Ding didn't recognize the two men, but she could tell they were there to cause trouble.
Shao Lin, is this all you've got?
She immediately dialed 110, reported her address, and sat on the living room sofa, waiting quietly.
The people outside knocked for about five minutes, and still no one opened the door.
"Could they not be home?"
"Impossible. The person upstairs clearly saw her return home. They're probably deliberately not opening the door."
Next, Su Ding heard the lock on the main door being tampered with.
She glanced at the hidden camera on her ceiling, gripped a broom tightly, her sharp eyes resembling a beast lurking in the deep night.
The door was shoved open with a bang.
The two thugs stormed in directly…
