Chapter 99: 099 Hitting you just to hit you, do I need a reason?
Ye Zhichen’s pupils abruptly dilated, and her beautiful face showed hints of panic.
With an exclamation, she almost instinctively stepped forward, wanting to steady Su Ran.
Gu Heng also saw Su Ran’s staggering body and subconsciously stretched out his arms to catch her.
Su Ran’s eyes flashed quickly, and she deftly grabbed a nearby display shelf, avoiding Gu Heng’s hands and steadying herself.
All this happened in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that Su Ran was okay, Ye Zhichen let out a relieved sigh. She hurriedly approached, while Gu Heng awkwardly withdrew his hands.
“Xiao Ran, are you alright?”
As she asked, her gaze swept over Su Ran’s body.
The previously bright and unrestrained expression turned cold as ice, and she stood up and walked toward Su Xinyan.
The icy and chilling aura exuding from her body made one shiver involuntarily.
Su Xinyan, out of fear, shrank into Gu Heng’s embrace, watching Su Ran with a timid face.
“Slap!” A crisp sound!
Before she could finish speaking, she caught a slap across the face.
Su Ran didn’t hold back her strength, and Su Xinyan staggered a couple of steps within Gu Heng’s arms, clinging tightly to his clothes to avoid falling down.
The delicate little face instantly swelled up, with even traces of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
“Are you seeking death?”
Her tone was cold as ice, sending shivers down Su Xinyan’s spine, and a tingling chill rushed into her brain.
“Sister, I don’t know what you’re talking about, you…”
“Why did you hit me?”
Su Ran coldly cut off her words. Su Xinyan’s motion of covering her face stiffened slightly, and her eyes were filled with shock.
“Your foot seems to have reached quite far,” Su Ran said, lowering her gaze to Su Xinyan’s right foot, which hadn’t been retracted in time.
Su Xinyan’s expression stiffened slightly, and she bit her lip in a wronged manner, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.
“Sister, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I clearly didn’t do anything, why… why did you suddenly hit me?”
Tears fell with the last word.
Su Ran watched her nearly genuine performance and curved her lips slightly.
“I hit you because I hit you, do I need a reason? If I must have a reason…”
Her eyes narrowed slightly, her tone eerie.
“I dislike you, is that reason enough?”
she raised her hand, and just as another slap was about to land, someone grabbed her wrist.
Gu Heng took hold of Su Ran’s wrist and growled sternly.
“Xinyan didn’t do it on purpose.”
Su Ran glanced at him indifferently, a flash of crimson passing through the depths of her eyes.
Gu Heng looked at Su Ran furiously, his gloomy eyes filled with accusation and disappointment.
Su Ran, growing impatient, suddenly swung her captured wrist in midair, reversed her grip on Gu Heng’s hand, yanked him forward with one hand, pinning his arm behind his back, and raised her left hand.
A loud slap landed on Su Xinyan’s left cheek.
Su Ran released Gu Heng’s confined grip, leaned in close to Su Xinyan, and spoke with an eerily chilling tone.
“Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to strike you. If I’m unhappy, I could even kill you. Do you want to try?”
Su Xinyan’s eyes widened in fear as she gazed at Su Ran, her beautiful eyes filled with terror.
After speaking, Su Ran approached Ye Zhichen, the coldness dissipating from her body.
Ye Zhichen looked at Su Ran with sparkling eyes, nodding vehemently.
“Xiao Ran, you were really so cool just now!”
Su Ran chuckled lightly, “Was I?”
“Yes, so much so! Take me in, I’ll warm your bed…”
