Chapter 949: Chapter 949: Worse than Death (2)

Immediately after, warmth spread across her lips as something soft covered her mouth, rubbing gently without much force, stirring up boundless ambiguity.

Mo Yan was kissed into a daze, and just as she couldn’t help but respond, the softness on her lips suddenly disappeared, and a deep, pleasant chuckle came from above her head, "Yanyan, stop pretending."

Mo Yan suddenly opened her eyes and glared fiercely at the person whose smile grew even more delighted, and without a second thought, she lifted her foot and kicked at the person’s waist.

Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t dodge or evade, taking the moderate kick. As Mo Yan retracted her foot, he suddenly grasped her ankle.

Mo Yan gave the person another heavy kick and spat out a word, "Without my permission, don’t you dare touch me again."

Xiao Ruiyuan’s brows arched slightly with a meaningful tone, "Does Yanyan mean to say it’s only permissible to use words?"

Mo Yan covered her face, feeling utterly defeated by the shameless person before her. For the first time, she realized that the appearance of propriety could be used to describe the person in front of her—even though he hid a dirty heart beneath his serious exterior. How had she been blind to this before?

Mo Yan’s thoughts were clearly written on her face, and Xiao Ruiyuan could see it. However, he didn’t explain and instead straightened her head and asked again, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Mo Yan nodded subconsciously and then violently shook her head, "No."

Seeing that he wasn’t getting an answer, Xiao Ruiyuan didn’t press further, just silently lifted Mo Yan’s face and kissed her tender red lips.

"Still not telling the truth?"

Mo Yan’s body involuntarily trembled, cowed by the threat of being forcefully kissed without a word of protest, she finally revealed the impending events of the night.

After speaking, Mo Yan felt the temperature around her drop suddenly. She met Xiao Ruiyuan’s fierce expression and quickly said, "I can handle that woman myself, you better not interfere..."

Xiao Ruiyuan held the woman in his arms tightly, dark storm brewing in his deep eyes. After a long while, he touched her sleep acupoint and gently laid her down. After covering her abdomen with the thin summer blanket, he turned and left the room.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yan slowly woke up to find she was alone in the room. She sat up hastily, not bothering with shoes, and rushed to the small hall, only to hear from the courtyard beyond the wall, a series of painful moans.

In the courtyard, more than a dozen people lay scattered in disarray. All were bound hand and foot, their mouths gagged, their clothes sliced open by bladed weapons, reduced to strips hanging off their bodies. The torn clothes were faintly stained with blood, and through the gashes, one could glimpse the flesh beneath, a ghastly sight to behold.
