Chapter 9 Jiang Ruan, You Must Not Fall in Love

Jiang Ruan was startled, and immediately wiped her finger, which had blood on it, but his hand was intact!

She instinctively looked up, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed. "You're not hurt?"

"Are you..." Before she could utter the word "deceiving," Zhan Xiaohan's kiss suddenly descended without any warning!

Jiang Ruan was so shocked that the hem of her dress fell to the floor, and she quickly realized what was happening!

She immediately pushed Zhan Xiaohan away, but he held her tightly by the waist, making the two of them cling closely together without any gap!

He also took the chance to pry open her lips, completely overbearing.

Jiang Ruan's cheeks instantly burned like fire. She had only been kissed by this man, Zhan Xiaohan, and now, just a day later, she trembled as he kissed her again.

It was as if all the memories of those three days had awakened...

Zhan Xiaohan observed the changes in the girl closely with his eyes open. Her long eyelashes trembled, and a mist quickly filled her eyes.

Finally, a smile appeared in Zhan Xiaohan's eyes. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, suddenly, he felt a pain on his lips.

Taken by surprise, he pulled away from Jiang Ruan's mouth.

Jiang Ruan, biting her swollen lips tightly, quickly pushed him away and ran out of the toilet stall.

She dared not slacken at all, rushing back to the break room, slamming the door shut and leaning against it, panting heavily.

She and Zhan Xiaohan, after those three days, should not have had any contact!

But just now, something so preposterous had occurred!

Jiang Ruan raised her hand and pressed it tightly against her heart. Jiang Ruan, you must not fall for him...

He was going to marry Jiang Yuning in the future, have babies, and have a happy family.

All of this does not belong to you.

Even if you had the most intimate interactions with this man, it was nothing but a fleeting illusion!

As Jiang Ruan regained her senses, she opened the safe to take out some liquor only to find that all the bottles inside had vanished.

Jiang Ruan immediately searched through the other cabinets when her phone in her pocket rang.

She took it out; it was a colleague.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Jiang Ruan, I've already delivered your wine to the customers, so don't keep them waiting. You don't have to come over, and someone was looking for you just now, you'd better go check outside the bar to see who it is."

Without waiting for Jiang Ruan to reply, the call was cut off!

Jiang Ruan clenched her phone, composing herself amidst the sourness in her heart, and got up to leave the bar through the employees' exit.

Just as she was scanning to see who was looking for her, she suddenly felt a pain at the back of her neck and then lost consciousness...

When she woke up again, Jiang Ruan was lying on a cold floor in a dimly lit environment.

But she recognized the place, it was the abandoned basement next to the Jiang family's back yard.

Jiang Yuning had often locked her in there when they were younger.

Just as Jiang Ruan tried to prop herself up from the floor, a bucket of cold water was poured all over her!

Jiang Yuning sat in a chair, waved her hand, and signaled the servants to take the bucket away.

"Jiang Ruan."

Jiang Ruan looked up to meet Jiang Yuning's eyes, full of cold intent.

When Jiang Yuning saw the swelling on Jiang Ruan's lips, her anger surged to her nerves, and her voice trembled sharply with fury. "Jiang Ruan! How shameless you are! Who were you kissing in the bar? Was it Zhan Xiaohan?!"

Jiang Ruan could not refute; she could only support herself with her hands, inch by inch struggling to rise.

Jiang Yuning trembled. "Since Xiaohan always mistakes us for each other, maybe I should scratch your face first, then send you for plastic surgery, how about that? Let's see how you can still seduce Xiaohan!"

She stood up from the chair, took the whip from the servant's hand and lashed out fiercely!

In an instant, agonizing pain spread through her limbs, and cold sweat dripped down.

Her ears were filled with Jiang Yuning's curses – vixen, shameless, slut...

These insulting words hurt Jiang Ruan more than the whip lashing against her skin, paining and saddening her!

She closed her eyes, biting her lips until they bled.

Mother, she was almost at her limit.

She didn't want to stay at the Jiang family anymore, didn't want to see the eyes of any of them again.

After Jiang Yuning had vented all her anger, she just threw the whip to the servant next to her, while the other came over to massage her sore arms.

"Miss, you've worked hard, we will give you a good massage when we go out," the servant said.

Jiang Yuning glanced at Jiang Ruan, the air thick with the smell of blood; she frowned in disgust. "Jiang Ruan, from now on, if I see you with Xiaohan again, I'll beat you again every single time!"

She snorted coldly and turned to leave pridefully.

Outside the basement door, under the moonlight, Mrs. Jiang stood coldly beside a tree, with a chilly expression.

Only when she saw Jiang Yuning coming out did her face soften somewhat.

"Are you done venting, daughter, are you still angry?"

At that, Jiang Yuning immediately threw herself into Mrs. Jiang's arms, acting coquettishly. "Mom, Jiang Ruan and her mother are both vixens, I am really afraid she will snatch Zhan Xiaohan away from me!"

"What's yours will definitely be yours, what can she do to take it away?"

Mrs. Jiang caressed Jiang Yuning's cheek, "Childbirth is very painful, you have Jiang Ruan to bear it for you. When you marry into the Zhan family, you will be the most venerable young married woman in the Capital City, all you need to do now is not show too much in front of Zhan Xiaohan, temper your temper, understand?"

"I've already been acting very gentle! My tone has been very soft! But Xiaohan just won't look at me, what can I do?"
