C15 Beg for Mercy and I will Let You Go

Inside, she was absolutely resistant. But... sometimes you have to go along to get along. With a deep breath, Jiang Jingxi finally stepped into the car. As soon as the door closed, she felt an overwhelming pressure envelop her. Her heart skipped a beat, and the next moment, her chin was gripped firmly. In front of her was Lu Tingyuv's intense face, his cold, piercing gaze clearly showing his anger.

"Why didn’t you try to run?" Lu Tingyuv asked through gritted teeth, looking at her as if he could devour her.

Just a few minutes earlier, Lu Tingyuv had been in a meeting. But feeling uneasy for reasons he couldn't explain, he ended it early and rushed to the hospital. Who would have thought that after all his concern, this woman would slip away from him? Unbelievable! Anyone else would be thrilled with such attention, but not her. She dared to run?

Lu Tingyuv narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. Jiang Jingxi's heart trembled, but she forced a smile, trying to appease him. "If I said I just wanted to go home and say goodbye to my parents, would you believe me?"

"Heh." Lu Tingyuv let out a cold laugh, his gaze dark and foreboding. "What do you think?"

He threw the question back at her. Although he didn't outright say he didn't believe her, his eyes clearly conveyed: Are you trying to fool me?

Of course, she was trying to fool him! Jiang Jingxi cursed him silently, calling him names in her mind. At this point, she decided to go all out. She yanked his hand away, lifted her chin defiantly, and said, "Just tell me what you want to do with me and get it over with!"

Lu Tingyuv's gaze lingered on her delicate face. "Beg for mercy, and I'll let you go."

Jiang Jingxi's eyes flickered. "And if I don't?"

"You should know, I have a hundred ways to make you suffer," Lu Tingyuv said, his cold eyes locked on hers.

Jingxi knew he was telling the truth. She kept a stern face, seemingly struggling with herself. After a few seconds, she suddenly flashed a smile at him, her playful face moving closer to meet his deep-set eyes, and with a grin, she said, "In your dreams!"

Tingyuv had anticipated she wouldn't give in easily, so he wasn't surprised. Narrowing his eyes dangerously, he warned, "You'll regret this."

Jingxi smirked mischievously, "Sorry, I don't know how to spell that. Maybe..." She raised an eyebrow at him, taunting, "You could teach me?"

Someone needs a lesson!

A sharp glint passed through Tingyuv's eyes as he gazed at her delicate face, feeling a strange impulse rise within him. The image of her pale face lying in the hospital bed last night flashed in his mind, and the fear of losing her gripped his heart. His eyes darkened as he suddenly reached up, cupping the back of her head, and kissed her firmly.

Jingxi's eyes widened in shock. Realizing what he was doing, she immediately began to struggle. But his strength was overwhelming, and despite her efforts, Tingyuv remained unmoved.

So soft!

That was Tingyuv's first thought. He hadn't expected her sharp-tongued mouth to be so soft and tender. It was like a perfectly springy piece of cake—soft, smooth, with a hint of sweetness.

Even though Tingyuv wasn't fond of pastries, he found himself enjoying this moment, a primal desire rising within him, clearly telling him—

He wanted more!

Tingyuv was never one to deny himself, so he deepened the kiss, exploring every corner, savoring her sweetness.

His kiss was just like him—domineering, forceful, and with an undeniable intensity. Jingxi felt a sharp pain on her lips, and her mind seemed to be running out of oxygen—she was furious!

Darn it! This was her first kiss!

Realizing that her first kiss, which she had treasured for over twenty years, was taken so unexpectedly, anger surged through her. Without thinking, she bit down hard on his tongue.

The taste of blood spread in her mouth.

The pain brought Tineyuv back to his senses for a moment. He snapped his eyes open and met a pair of fiery, beautiful eyes.

At some point, Jingxi had freed her hands and shoved him hard in the chest, yelling, "Jerk!"

Tineyuv's awareness returned. Seeing the strong resistance in her eyes, he frowned and turned to the driver, coldly instructing, "Take us back!"

The car roared to life. The modified SUV shot forward like an arrow.

Jingxi hadn't expected the car to take off so abruptly. As it lunged forward, she instinctively braced herself by grabbing the backseat.

However, the sudden movement caused a sharp pain in her chest, and she realized there was something wedged between her arms and chest. Her expression froze as she looked down to see an arm across her chest.

Of all the luck.

That hand was resting on the outside of her right chest.

Darn it! Jingxi was flustered. She quickly moved back, swatting the man's arm away, and turned to throw a punch.

But who was Tineyuv?

With a cold glare, he caught her slender arm, his eyes full of disdain, and his words even more infuriating, "You mistake my kindness for something else!"

The implication was clear: he was accusing her of not recognizing a good person when she saw one! Her eyes flared with anger, and she swung her other hand at him. "Jerk!"

How dare he take advantage of her like that!

She put all her strength into the punch, but Lu Tingyuv caught it effortlessly. Now both of Jiang Jingxi's hands were trapped in his.

"Let go!" she demanded, struggling fiercely.

Lu Tingyuv gazed at her flushed cheeks, his eyes narrowing as he coldly uttered, "You need to be taught a lesson."

"And you need a good beating!" Jiang Jingxi shot back, unable to tolerate him any longer. She kicked at him.

Last time, Lu Tingyuv had underestimated her, but he wasn't about to let that happen again. Quick as a flash, he lifted his leg, pinning her flailing legs with his own.

"Jerk!!"

Jiang Jingxi was furious, unable to move, yet she refused to give up and continued to struggle. Her face grew redder by the second.

Lu Tingyuv finally lost his patience. Her constant cursing was grating on his nerves. In that moment, he had only one thought—

Make her quiet!

So he moved swiftly, pressing down on her and capturing her lips with his. His kiss was intense, leaving her no room to breathe.

His overpowering presence enveloped her, and Jiang Jingxi felt a bit dizzy. An indescribable emotion welled up inside her.

Fear. Confusion.
