Chapter 166: Chapter 166: No One Will Hurt You Anymore

Kicking a pebble on the roadside in sorrow, Ning Xixi sucked in the biting cold air, her nose turning bright red. Clenching her little fists, she exclaimed, "Ji Yebai! I don’t want to see you again, you bastard, beast, Demon, pervert..."

It’s so cold, so dark...

Ugh, where am I exactly?

How am I supposed to get back to the city?

From afar came a terrible howling sound that scared Ning Xixi into hugging her arms tightly.

Could it be a wild beast?!

Just as she shivered in fear, a cheerful ringtone broke the silence—

"Red beans, big red beans, taro! Rub it, rub it..."

She fumbled to answer the call, "Hello?"

"Ning Xixi! Where are you now?"

"I don’t know..." That voice sounded vaguely familiar.

Ning Xixi glanced at her phone, and the screen showed—it was Gong Xiu!

Gong Xiu’s voice came through, laced with urgency: "Send me your location! I heard from Yan Yichen that you went missing. Are you hurt?"

"No..." Ning Xixi replied dully and sent her location. Over the phone, Gong Xiu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been fearing the worst, "I’m at a hot springs hotel nearby, I can be there in about ten minutes! Don’t wander off, stay right there, I’m on my way!"

Before Ning Xixi could respond, he added: "Don’t hang up the phone!"

He feared that if he hung up, Ning Xixi would start overthinking all alone.

"Okay..."

...

In less than ten minutes, a red Lamborghini pulled up in front of Ning Xixi!

Gong Xiu got out of the car in a hurry, spun Ning Xixi around in a circle, and asked with full concern, "How are you?"

"I’m okay..."

"That’s good, that’s good." Gong Xiu beamed like a child and hugged Ning Xixi into his arms.

"Eh?" Ning Xixi wore a look of shock.

Screech—

A sudden brake noise cut through the quiet night!

A black Cayenne, as though it wanted to blend into the darkness, carried Ji Yebai who looked indifferently at the two embracing each other.

Gong Xiu quickly noticed him and frowned, "Ji Yebai? What brings you here?"

Hearing the name "Ji Yebai," Ning Xixi shivered slightly, a subtle motion that Gong Xiu picked up on, his smile turning into a look filled with a hint of murderous intent in his peach blossom eyes: "You left her here?!"

Ji Yebai sneered: "So what if I did?"

All the gentleman’s etiquette, emotional control, and teachings he had received over the past 17 years seemed to vanish in the presence of Ning Xixi.

However, he had only intended to scare her, so that she wouldn’t dare to run away from home again recklessly. If there were a ’next time’ without his protection, how dangerous could it be for a girl like her?

Pity, it seemed he had been meddling unnecessarily.

His icy gaze swept over Ning Xixi, their eyes met, and Ning Xixi took a fearful step back.

This movement caused a sharp tremor in Ji Yebai’s heart!

She was afraid of him.

She was afraid of him!

"Gong Xiu, let’s go," Ning Xixi said anxiously, tugging at Gong Xiu’s sleeve.

The trauma that Ji Yebai had just left on her was too great; she was terrified that Ji Yebai would abandon her again!

Gong Xiu patted her head, "Don’t be afraid, I’ll take you away now, no one is going to hurt you anymore."

The Lamborghini turned around and drove out of Ji Yebai’s sight.

The hands gripping the steering wheel were so tense that the knuckles turned pale.

She would rather ask Gong Xiu for help than give him a call!

A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that she wants to break off their engagement... to marry Gong Xiu?!
