Chapter 226 Peace of mind
As she said this, she arched her waist and tried to escape to the bed, but it was wishful thinking for her to break free at this point.
Ji Xingjing pulled her back under him. The arm that was pinching her slender waist had bulging veins, and the area around his eyes was dark red.
He stared at her deeply for a long time, so long that Jiang Wan's heartbeat was so intense that it almost burst out of her chest. Then he slowly raised the corners of his lips, biting each one deeply: "Then forget it all."
Jiang Wan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he didn't even realize what he meant: "What?"
The man's eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear that he wanted to tear her apart and eat her, but his tone was unusually indifferent, "No matter who you have feelings for, who has touched you, forget it completely."
"Jiang Wan, don't overdo it again."
"As long as you do it, everything is up to you."
He stared at her without moving for a moment, his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be filled with corrosive mist, pulling her in.
"How long this statement can last is up to you."
Jiang Wan's back stiffened due to his words which were totally beyond her expectations, but Ji Xingjing seemed not to need her answer. His eyes suddenly returned to the past and were so indifferent that one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
He stood up, picked her up and walked into the bathroom without saying a word.
The calmer it is, the more flustered people become.
Jiang Wan finally recovered from her shock, but couldn't help pursing her lips. In the end, she didn't dare say anything to anger him again, and she obediently let him wash her clean from inside to outside like playing with a doll.
After being carried back to the bed, Ji Xingjing quickly hugged her tightly from behind, holding her body completely in his arms with absolute strength.
"Go to sleep, I'll take you home in the morning."
There was only a wall lamp in the corner left in the room. It was almost dark around them and the only sound they could hear was each other's breathing and heartbeats.
The two of them had experienced so many physical entanglements, some confusing and some intense, but never once like tonight, lying together in silence and yet so perfectly.
Jiang Wan unexpectedly did not feel any resistance. He just looked at the hazy and cool night outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and many unknown emotions gradually emerged in his eyes.
She never expected that the moment Ji Xingjing held her in his arms, she would hear a reminder that her love value had increased to 60%.
Meng Shuyi's birthday party is approaching, and Jiang Wan has been wondering who will get the last 5% before the liking value reaches 60%.
The amount of likes Shao Ting could provide seemed to have reached its limit. The 5% a few days ago was most likely from Xie Shiqian, and the 5% just now was undoubtedly due to the changes in Ji Xingjing.
This proves that her choice was correct, but Jiang Wan did not expect it to happen at such a time.
The conversation just now should not have done her any good, first of all, she was hit by the slap that was not very powerful but was indeed unnecessary, not to mention the words she said.
However, Ji Xingjing's popularity increased instead.
While his mind was full of thoughts, Jiang Wan suddenly felt some subtle emotions in his heart that should never have appeared.
She did not forget that it was because of this emotion that she almost fell into an irreversible deadlock several times when facing Shao Ting.
Jiang Wan had never realized so clearly as she did at this moment that she was indeed born to be a bad woman through and through. Her almost blank emotional experience in her previous life made her a bad woman who was prone to dragging her feet and bringing trouble to herself.
In fact, she was already cruel enough. For example, at least she had hurt Shao Ting's heart completely at the beginning.
But she was still not cruel enough.
If she wanted to excuse herself, she could certainly say that these men were unwilling to let her go, but she could have refused to the end.
At least that was the case when I faced that guy last night.
The consequence of her momentary weakness and greed for pleasure was undoubtedly to plant a bomb in the future that she would most likely not be able to bear the consequences of.
Now that everything seemed to be heading towards repeating the same mistakes, what should she do?
The desire for life and those tormenting emotions kept intertwining in his mind. Jiang Guan's chest became increasingly tight, and his fingertips unconsciously dug deep into his palms.
At this moment, a man's slightly cold voice came from behind my ear: "Do you really need me to do something so that you can sleep?"
Jiang Wan's breathing froze, and he came back to his senses almost instantly, and quickly said, "No."
The words sounded somewhat hollow, Ji Xingjing narrowed his eyes, hugged her waist tightly and easily turned her over to face him.
Staring at her for a few seconds in the dim moonlight coming in from the window, he quietly found her clenched right hand, inserted his slender fingers into her fingers and interlocked them with hers, then he slowly opened his lips: "So what are you thinking about at this moment? Hmm?"
The person in his arms did not resist him at all this time. She snuggled in his arms obediently, breathing shallowly. She did not answer him, but called out his name softly.
"Ji Xingjing."
Perhaps it was because it was so rare for her to be so docile in front of him, Ji Xingjing's gaze, which had been as deep as a pool in the darkness, suddenly softened.
He half-closed his eyelashes and hummed softly, but his tone did not reveal anything.
Jiang Wan had no way and no intention to catch his emotions. After pursing her lips, she said softly, "You always say that I'm cruel and a bastard. I'm so bad, but you still waste so much time and energy on me? Why?"
"Maybe it's because I'm a lot worse than you are. Like attracts like."
Ji Xingjing's answer couldn't be more casual, but Jiang Wan seemed to take it seriously. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Will the bad guys get their comeuppance?"
"Like, a short life?"
To others, her words would seem incomprehensible or even nonsensical, but Ji Xingjing's eyes suddenly turned cold as ice.
He grabbed her waist with his big hand and pressed it close to her lips: "Take back what you said."
Jiang Wan couldn't hold back her tears any longer because of his fierce force, and the words she spoke seemed to be venting her anger, even more unreasonable than usual.
"You are always mean to me and call me bad. Bad people must get their comeuppance..."
"Jiang Wan."
Ji Xingjing didn't give her the chance to go on and on, "No one dares to punish you."
He stared at her with his dark eyes, and smiled: "I have been causing trouble for thousands of years, and you still have time to torture me."
In the past, Jiang Wan would have refuted it long ago, but when she heard it now, she felt inexplicably sad in her heart.
The man's words continued in my ear.
"Even if it's true as you said, even if I did say something wrong, you can be as bad as you want and let the retribution fall on me. Are you relieved?"
