Knowing full well that she didn’t want him to help Zhang Chufeng, yet still having to hide from herself that Xu Yisen rescued Zhang Chufeng from prison, made her feel even more embarrassed.
"I don’t want you to be rejected by those cunning people."
Qin Muni reached out and casually wiped the tears from her face.
She was also clear in her heart that Xu Yisen already knew about her using connections to persuade Wu Shanxian and her husband.
The reason they rejected her, both Xu Yisen and she understood, was simply because they looked down on her as a woman who had lost her father, was divorced, and had no support.
Qin Muni scoffed aloud, "So what? We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Why should my life or death concern you?"
Her resolute way of drawing a clear line and the aggressive words truly annoyed Xu Yisen.
He took a step back, his feet in indoor slippers stepping over broken glass, approaching Qin Muni, who stood at the stage, step by step.
"I said, as long as I’m here, I will keep you safe and prosperous!"
His words were extremely serious and solemn, and a rare persistence appeared in his gaze fixed on Qin Muni.
Qin Muni looked up at the man who halted his steps and stood in front of her, her sharp gaze instantly melting into a heart-wrenching sadness.
"Yisen, why are you still disrupting my life even though we’re divorced?"
Her voice, like the morning mist, mixed with an undefined melancholy and despair.
Xu Yisen’s lips slowly curved into a graceful arc, like a dazzling light breaking into the darkness, unfolding a breathtaking brilliance.
He reached out with both hands, gently cupping her luminous, jade-like face, and in a deep voice slowly replied, "Because I fucking love you!"
As soon as the words fell, he lowered his head without hesitation and kissed Qin Muni’s tender, rosy lips.
The slightly intoxicated Qin Muni was overwhelmed by his tenderness before she could react, her whole being in a daze.
When she wanted to resist, Xu Yisen placed a hand on her waist, firmly wrapping her in his arms, giving her no chance to escape.
The overwhelming ambiguous breath between their lips caused Qin Muni’s heart to tremble slightly, instinctively wanting to resist Xu Yisen’s deep intrusion.
However, Xu Yisen saw through her intentions, and the once gentle kiss gradually mingled with domineering possessiveness, attacking every nerve of Qin Muni.
Qin Muni almost succumbed under his relentless onslaught, but a sliver of reason still reminded her to stay awake.
In a moment of Xu Yisen’s delirium, Qin Muni suddenly bit down hard on his lower lip.
The sudden pain between his lips forced Xu Yisen to release Qin Muni.
Perhaps because she bit too hard, Xu Yisen’s seductive thin lips bled slightly.
Qin Muni’s red lips were also stained with his blood, the bright red liquid blooming like a proud rose on her lips, making her already beautiful lips even more alluring.
Her cold eyes glared angrily at the man standing opposite, his lips holding a roguish smile.
"Bastard!" Letting out an angry curse, Qin Muni lifted her leg and passed by his side, quickly leaving the kitchen.
Xu Yisen slowly turned his body, watching her leave the kitchen, and only when her figure disappeared inside did the smile on his lips deepen irrepressibly.
He stepped over to the shards of glass, bent down to clean up the pieces on the ground, and then returned to the living room to pick up the woolen coat he had just placed on the sofa.
