Chapter 203: Chapter 201 Love You to Death
Si Yuhuan had been waiting for Jian Xi to come to him for help, but then Yan Qing told him that Jian Xi had actually sent a mysterious gift to Fu Shengyuan.
It made him so angry he couldn’t stay put.
Grabbing his coat, he went straight to Yaowang Group.
Inside the company, everyone was whispering.
"Do you think we can get through this crisis? Yue Xiang has already released our fashion show pieces ahead of schedule. Many of our partners heard that the Chairwoman is divorcing Director Si and that such a major incident occurred, so now they’re all demanding compensation! I guess this time we’re going to lose at least this much!" A female employee gestured with five fingers, her face full of worry.
Another quickly nodded in agreement. "Compensation is certain. It’s such a pity. The Yaowang Brand had just gained international fame when this situation suddenly arose. It can only be said our Chairwoman is so unlucky! If she could reconcile with Director Si, perhaps the situation could be turned around. Now, besides Director Si, no one else can save us from this disaster."
"Director Si is out of the question now. But rumor has it that the President of Tianyao Group, Fu Shengyuan, might make a move! CEO Jian has been quite close to him recently!"
Just then, Si Yuhuan entered.
All eyes converged on him.
Si Yuhuan glanced at them, his brows furrowed. "Where is CEO Jian?"
Everyone immediately pointed to the twelfth floor.
"Hmph." With a trace of anger on his face, he strode into the CEO’s private elevator.
Everyone gasped.
"Wow! Director Si actually came in person! Could there be more to the divorce than meets the eye?"
What kind of person was Si Yuhuan? He probably wouldn’t even glance at a company of Yaowang Group’s level; the only reason he came was entirely because of CEO Jian!
It seems there’s hope for their remarriage!
Jian Xi hadn’t expected Si Yuhuan to suddenly show up. Sitting in the executive chair, she was about to stand up, but then she paused, leaned back, and adopted the air of the lady of the house.
"What brings you here, Director Si?"
She dared to ask what *he* wanted from *her*!
Si Yuhuan was so irritated he let out a dry laugh. "Have you really decided to be with Fu Shengyuan?"
Jian Xi seethed. It’s true what they say, a dog’s mouth can’t produce ivory! In his eyes, was she just someone who could only use men to solve her problems?
"Do you think I’m Jiang Qimeng? Running to a man for support whenever there’s trouble?"
She sneered. "Even if I were to ask Fu Shengyuan for help, it would have nothing to do with you."
That statement infuriated Si Yuhuan. He strode closer, pulled Jian Xi up from her chair, and wrapped a long arm around her slender waist, pressing their bodies tightly together. Jian Xi struggled. "Let go!"
"I won’t."
"Hooligan!" She gritted her teeth, furious.
The disparity in strength was too great; she couldn’t break free. Besides, Jian Xi didn’t want to struggle too much. The doctor had warned her against vigorous activity. To ensure her babies’ safety, she tilted her chin up defiantly.
"What do you think you’re doing?"
Her clear, wide eyes met his.
"I want to *do* you!"
Si Yuhuan had only intended to teach this audacious young woman a lesson. Yet, as she struggled, the friction of her body against his ignited a fierce passion, making his blood surge.
"Si Yuhuan, you bastard!"
The man’s domineering kiss crashed down, fierce and punishing, an act of conquest.
Jian Xi tried to kick him, but he pressed closer, his thigh forcing its way between hers. One hand lifted her petite bottom, leaving her practically hanging on him.
"Hel—" She couldn’t even utter the "p" before he swallowed her cry.
He was as domineering as a crazed beast.
Jian Xi grew frightened. Not daring to provoke him further, she could only pat Si Yuhuan’s chest like a trapped animal. "Let... let me go."
Si Yuhuan eased back slightly, creating some distance. Jian Xi gasped frantically for air.
She’d almost suffocated!
This damn dog of a man!
Si Yuhuan’s lips curled into a cold smirk. He chuckled, pinching her chin, and warned condescendingly, "Don’t even think about other men! If you’re going to beg, beg *me*!"
Her lips, swollen and glistening from his kiss, made his eyes darken further.
Jian Xi clenched her fists, a knot of fear tightening within her. She knew he was aroused.
Suddenly, the door was yanked open.
Wan Yu stood there, her eyes wide as saucers. Before Jian Xi could cry out for help—
SLAM!
Wan Yu slammed the door shut.
Holy crap! What did she just see?! Si Yuhuan practically serving himself up on a platter! This was going to be a good show!
Chu Xiao, carrying a stack of documents, tried to enter but was blocked by Wan Yu.
"What’s up? These are urgent drafts. I need to find Miss Jian Xi..."
Wan Yu slung an arm over his shoulder. "What Miss Jian Xi? I’m all you need. Come on, come on, there’s a problem with this draft; you need to revise it some more..."
And just like that, she dragged Chu Xiao away.
Jian Xi was speechless. Was her best friend an idiot? Did she not look like she needed rescuing?!
Si Yuhuan smirked. "She’s quite perceptive."
"And quite the sycophant," Jian Xi retorted, biting her lip. "Let go."
She was pregnant with their babies! This position was too dangerous!
"Aren’t you going to beg me for help?" he taunted.
Jian Xi turned her face away, her chin tilted up stubbornly.
"No."
Si Yuhuan was about to explode with anger! She’d rather turn to Fu Shengyuan than ask him for help, even when he had practically delivered himself to her doorstep!
"If you don’t ask me, I’ll go help Jiang Qimeng."
"Si Yuhuan, you son of a bitch! You’re shameless!" Jian Xi slapped him hard across the face. Her eyes, glaring at him, blazed with a mixture of grievance and anger, quickly welling up with tears, making her look utterly pitiful.
Si Yuhuan was stunned by the sudden slap. No one had ever dared to treat him like this, not since he was a child.
An icy aura instantly emanated from him. His eyes glinted with a cold light.
Jian Xi retorted, unafraid, "Go on, help her then! You might as well team up and destroy me!"
"All you ever do is bully me! If Jiang Qimeng is so great, why don’t you marry her?!"
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"It’s my fault for loving you, I deserve to die for it! I was wrong to love you! I deserve to be treated so heartlessly by you! Si Yuhuan, you cold-blooded man, you should be with a vicious woman like Jiang Qimeng forever! A scumbag and a bitch—a match made in hell to last for eternity! Get lost! I never want to see you again!"
Shaking with rage, she shoved Si Yuhuan hard.
The man, who had been consumed by anger just moments before, now tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her firmly into his embrace.
"What mischief are you up to now?" he murmured, nibbling her earlobe.
Jian Xi’s simmering anger was instantly doused by his intimate gesture. Flushing with a mixture of shame and fury, she stomped hard on his instep. "You’re the one causing trouble! Your whole family causes trouble! Go to hell!"
She aimed a kick between his legs. Si Yuhuan, utterly unprepared, took the full force of it.
Pain lanced through him, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hey! Don’t always kick the same spot!"
So painful!
He had just seen the doctor, and it wasn’t completely healed. Si Yuhuan was so badly hurt he could barely straighten his back.
Seeing him doubled over in pain, Jian Xi felt a surge of satisfaction. "You deserve it."
She wiped away her tears. How pathetic, crying so easily over this damn man again.
Si Yuhuan grabbed Jian Xi as she was about to leave. "Quick, take me to the hospital! I need to see a doctor."
"Go find your Jiang Qimeng." Jian Xi slapped his hand away and snorted.
