C14 Don't Play Your Tricks With Me
The doorbell continued to ring, but Shen Mannge did not get up to open the door. She just lay on the bed lazily, thinking about how reluctant Chu Mengxi must be at this moment that she had no choice but to come and beg Shen Mannge for forgiveness.
After she had narrowly escaped death five years ago, the first shock that she had faced after waking up was the fake news of her clandestine meeting with a lover. For a moment there, she had almost lost her courage to live when she saw the images of her with a man, and the thousands of comments on the Internet insulting her. If it wasn't for the fact that she had Shen Ziang in her belly, she would have killed herself reading those insults, even after emerging alive from the fire. Finally, she had found out that it was Chu Mengxi who was behind it.
Destroying her marriage, secretly giving Ye Nanxuan a child, and forcing Shen Mannge to bear such lies... even if Chu Mengxi were to die ten thousand times, it would not be enough to atone for her sins. However, Shen Mannge was not in a hurry to settle scores with her.
She would make sure Chu Mengxi suffers before she exacts her revenge.
Thinking of the ways in which she could make her suffer, the corner of Shen Mannge's lips curled up slightly, but that charming smile didn't quite reach her eyes.
Ye Nanxuan knocked for a long time. There was no sound coming from the inside, making him feel that no one was home. However, he was unwilling to give up now that he had come. He was itching to see for himself if Shen Mannge was really living at Lan Lingyu's house.
Shen Mannge stood up and walked out of her room after the persistent knocking lasted for about ten minutes.
She was wearing a loose nightgown, but it failed to cover her beautiful figure. Her hair was loose and she opened the door barefoot. She casually called out, "Who is it? So rude!"
Ye Nanxuan was shocked to hear her voice.
Shen Mannge's apparent indolence reminded him of his own wife.
"Mannge…"
He said softly without thinking, but Shen Mannge was so stunned to see him that she could not move.
Was it really him?
Although Shen Mannge knew that her staying at Lan Lingyu's house would inevitably make Ye Nanxuan suspicious, she did not expect him to find her address so quickly.
A hint of panic could be seen in her eyes, but she quickly adjusted the emotions on her face. She made a show of uncomfortably pulling up her neckline, coughed, and said, "Mr. Ye? What are you doing here?"
The words "Mr. Ye" pulled Ye Nanxuan back to reality.
His eyes narrowed as they swept over Shen Mannge's body, as if trying to see right through her.
Shen Mannge's palms became sweaty, but she forced herself to remain calm. She smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, the look in your eyes could be the cause of more misunderstanding. If your future wife sees us like this, I might suffer at her hands again."
"Who the hell are you?"
Ye Nanxuan didn't plan to beat around the bush with Shen Mannge. He went straight to the point and stared into Shen Mannge's eyes with his sharp eyes.
In the past, Shen Mannge has been most afraid of his eyes, which looked liked they could see right through her. Even though she had not been on the other end of that gaze for five years now, she still felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She had no choice but to force herself to look Ye Nanxuan in the eye.
"And who does Mr. Ye think I should be?"
Her smile was like a flower, and her eyes crystal clear. There was even a hint of seduction in them.
If she was another woman, Ye Nanxuan would have turned around and left without hesitation. But this woman, who shared Shen Mannge's name, was puzzling him to the bone.
Ye Nanxuan stepped forward and pinned Shen Mannge to the adjacent wall.
"Miss Shen, don't play your tricks with me. I, Ye Nanxuan, am not someone who can be played around with by others as they please. Piss me off, and there will be nothing left of you."
He was so close to her that they could feel each other's breaths. Shen Mannge's hands were clenched tightly, but her smile became even more brilliant.
"Is Mr. Ye trying to sweet talk me? Or is this a method you use to hold on to talented people at your Hengyu Group?"
"Shen Mannge, why have you come here? Don't tell me that you don't know what this house means to my wife. You have the same name as her, and you also know Lan Lingyu? How can all of this just be a coincidence?"
Ye Nanxuan's breath quickened.
His warm breath was on Shen Mannge's face. Shen Mannge could feel the strength in his chestmuscles under his shirt.
He was as attractive as ever...
Unfortunately, he was also careless and cruel.
Shen Mannge's eyes narrowed as she whispered, "Mr. Ye's wife? Isn't that Miss Chu?"
She raised her head again, her eyes no longer emotionless. They were clear like a pond of clear spring water.
Ye Nanxuan's heartbeat trembled as he stared at her.
Such a familiar gaze... who else could it be but Shen Mannge?
But why didn't she want to admit it?
Why wasn't this face the face that he remembered?
Was it because of the fire?
Ye Nanxuan stretched out his arm and pulled Shen Mannge's collar, trying to pull it down.
Shen Mannge was shocked.
"Ye Nanxuan, what are you doing? I'm warning you, if you touch me like this, I'll call the police!"
She gripped her collar tightly and her palms started to sweat once again.
'I can't let him do this!' she thought frantically.
Over the past five years, the burns on her body had more or less still remained, even though she had undergone plastic surgery.
She had thought that Ye Nanxuan would suspect her and investigate, but she did not expect him to ignore everything she said. In any case, she was still a designer of the H-J Group, wasn't she?
Looking at Shen Mannge's flustered face, Ye Nanxuan's eyes paused for a second.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Is this not your goal?"
As he spoke, Ye Nanxuan squeezed his palm. There was a crazy look in his eye that said that he didn't care.
