Chapter 101.2: The General's Daughter Who Eloped with the Lowly Stage Actor (9)
It was only when Tang YingZhi truly approached Qian YunSheng that she panicked, instantly moving in to grab his wrist with urgency. Turning her back towards Qian YunSheng and making sure that she was out of sight from his view, she pressed her entire body against Tang YingZhi while her eyes emitted a seductive allure, like a mist of enchantment that captivated the man, freezing him in his tracks.
Gu MingYue’s body reacted to the situation faster than her mind, as if leading her to find a breakthrough in such a desperate moment.
“Young Master, such an opportunity is rare. Why not send everyone away and let us serve you together?” Seeming as if she was tenderly snuggling up to him, she whispered softly in his ear.
By “us,” she meant Qian YunSheng and herself, subtly suggesting the three of them could indulge themselves and eliminate anyone who might be a hindrance.
Slut! Tang YingZhi’s mind was filled with derogatory words for the woman, yet he couldn’t resist being mesmerised.
Under the mesmerising gaze of Gu MingYue’s shimmering eyes, the man’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down uncontrollably, “Leave her here. All of you, get out.” He instructed in a deep and hoarse voice.
Upon hearing those words, Gu MingYue felt an instant sense of relief and her anxiety began to dissipate slightly. With everyone gone, there was no need to heed his commands anymore.
With her hand delicately covering her face, Gu MingYue playfully fluttered her eyelashes and seductively curved her lips…
For the men under Tang YingZhi’s command, his words were tantamount to imperial decree, so, as soon as Tang YingZhi’s voice fell, the others in the room briskly left the private room. The last one to exit was the young officer with a youthful appearance, who considerately closed the door and sealed the blossoming spring atmosphere within.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the private room was left with Gu MingYue, half-undressed Tang YingZhi, and a struggling Qian YunSheng.
“You… or you first?”
Tang YingZhi, having unbuttoned his long robe, exposed his well-built chest. He first pointed at Gu MingYue with his index finger, and then calmly directed his finger towards Qian YunSheng, who was still struggling against the ropes. His expression carried a sense of satisfaction, full of control and vengeance.
As he looked at Qian YunSheng’s futile struggles, his gaze resembled that of a deity overlooking insignificant ants.
But to be fair, compared to Xue HeZe, Qian YunSheng’s background and family status were as insignificant as ants, and since Tang YingZhi dared to act against the legitimate daughter of the Xue family, why would he care about the struggles of an ant like him?
In the presence of a strong individual, the resistance and efforts of the weak can sometimes appear laughable.
Between Tang YingZhi and Qian YunSheng, it was clear that the former was in a favourable position, while the latter was not. However, if we disregard everything else and focus solely on Tang YingZhi as an individual, he wasn’t necessarily stronger than Qian YunSheng by much. But the crucial difference was that Tang possessed external power that Qian YunSheng couldn’t hope to match, which granted him overwhelming and absolute authority.
Qian YunSheng stared at the man standing before him with bloodshot eyes. He fiercely bit down on the handkerchief in his mouth, and the muscles in his jaw clenched and twitched as he breathed heavily. At this moment, all he felt was anger and an overwhelming sense of unwillingness bordering on despair.
As a man, to witness his own woman being humiliated while feeling utterly powerless to protect her, even more so – unable to ensure his own safety… What could be more absurd than this?
A profound sense of powerlessness engulfed Qian YunSheng like a raging tidal wave.
Before those who held authority, he felt like nothing more than a worthless and useless waste – inept, insignificant, and as tiny as a speck of dust, effortlessly trampled underfoot.
Desperation was pushing him to the brink of collapse, leading him to question whether eloping with Gu MingYue had been the most foolish act driven by a momentary lapse of reason.
Was daring to face his own emotions for the first time and pursuing the happiness he yearned for a mistake?
His compromise with himself had resulted in both of them descending to this pitiful state.
Looking at Gu MingYue, who was biting down on her lips and staring at him silently, Qian YunSheng closed his eyes in pain.
He was the one who had put her in harm’s way.
As someone who had struggled and fought in the lower echelons of society, he should have been most familiar with the rules of survival in this world.
He should have understood the cruelties unknown to the delicate flowers nurtured in a greenhouse…
He deluded himself into thinking he had the qualification to protect her, forgetting that he had no power to protect her at all.
Qian YunSheng hated himself to the core; he was the primary person responsible for all these unbearable occurrences.
If his death could save his beloved woman from experiencing this twisted life, Qian YunSheng wished he could die right away!
But he knew that Tang YingZhi wouldn’t let him off easily.
As Qian YunSheng seethed with hatred, self-blame, and despair, Tang YingZhi pulled the handkerchief out of his mouth.
“Nice expression.” Tang YingZhi tapped Qian YunSheng’s jade-like face with his fingertips, “You can watch for now, it’ll be your turn later.”
As Tang YingZhi towered above him, his voice carried a cruel coldness filled with enough destructive force.
“Let her go! Tang YingZhi, let her go! Tang YingZhi!!! Kill me! It’s all my fault! Kill me if you fucking dare! Otherwise, I’ll never forgive you!”
