After her luck was taken away, she fell in love with the woman who traveled through time.

"It's not what I want."

Liang Tan said, "Mr. Li, you are the one who needs to apologize by carrying a few thin and soft thorns. If you are asking for forgiveness, why are you carrying a few thin and soft thorns? You don't show any sincerity at all."

At this time, Dengzhi came out breathlessly with the bramble wrapped in cloth.

Dengzhi handed one of the twigs to Liang Tan.

Liang Tan glanced coldly at Li Ruo and Xu Shengsheng's faces one by one. She moved the whip in her hand and said to Xu Shengsheng, "You just said that you want to ask for my forgiveness on behalf of Li Ruo?"

Xu Shengsheng looked at the powerful-looking bramble in Liang Tan's hand with shock.

If this thorn really hits her...

hiss.

But the words had already been spoken, and there was no reason for Xu Shengsheng to take them back. Besides, if she took a beating for Li Ruo, Li Ruo would definitely fall even more in love with her.

Xu Shengsheng's voice began to tremble: "Yes, I am willing to ask for Miss Li's forgiveness."

Li Ruo was touched and said, "Shengsheng, I appreciate your kindness."

"Okay." Liang Tan responded without any emotion.

She raised the whip high and hit Xu Shengsheng.

"昘——"

Xu Shengsheng's skin and flesh suddenly burst into pieces and he grimaced in pain.

But when he met Li Ruo's distressed look, Xu Shengsheng immediately controlled his expression and retracted his big teeth that were bared in pain.

She looked at Li Ruo with a miserable expression and pursed her lips: "Mr. Li... I'm fine."

"Sheng Sheng..."

Xu Shengsheng's shoulders were shaking with fear, and Li Ruo's desire to protect her reached its peak at this moment.

"Liang Tan, if you want to fight, just fight me. Why bother bullying a defenseless weak woman?"

He manly stopped Xu Shengsheng behind him. He looked at Liang Tan with disgust: "Evil woman! I am here to take the blame today. It has nothing to do with Shengsheng!"

"No, Mr. Li... don't quarrel with the eldest lady..." He said to Li Ruo, but his eyes were looking at Liang Tan's face.

There was a hint of mockery in Xu Shengsheng's eyes.

Just like Liang Tan, who doesn't know how to act like a weak woman in front of men, and who argues with men and doesn't give them face, how could a man possibly like her?

Or maybe she is just an ancient idiot.

It’s absolutely true.

But then again, even if Liang Tan pretended to be as weak as she was, Li Ruo would never feel any pity for her.

She only needs to move her fingers, and Liang Tan will learn enough for a lifetime.

There's nothing we can do about it, since she has such a strong "heroine aura".

He seemed to be so immersed in his own pride that even the corners of his lips rose unconsciously.

"Haha..." Xu Shengsheng laughed happily.

The next second, her eyes suddenly widened!

I was surprised to find that I had just let out an inappropriate laugh.

Xu Shengsheng's scalp tingled and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands, then looked at Liang Tan and Li Ruo with panic.

Seeing that there was nothing unusual on either of their faces, Xu Shengsheng felt a little relieved.

She continued to maintain her persona: "Miss, if you want to hit me, hit me."

With so many people watching around, she didn't believe that Liang Tan would dare to hit her a second time after hitting her once.

If she dared to hit her again, I'm afraid her reputation as a vicious woman would spread throughout the entire Jiangnan City tomorrow!

By then, let’s see how this idiot can survive in Jiangnan City.

Unexpectedly, Liang Tan seemed to have gone mad and swung another bramble towards her.

No way! This idiot is really here!

Xu Shengsheng was almost frightened to death when she saw the brambles coming towards her.

Seeing that the thorn was about to fall on her again, at the last moment, Li Ruo used her back to block the thorn.

Xu Shengsheng looked at Li Ruo, whose forehead was covered with sweat, and softened his voice: "Mr. Li, you..."

Li Ruo gritted his teeth and comforted Xu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng, don't be afraid..."

Li Ruo stroked the hair on Xu Shengsheng's forehead, his face darkened again, and he looked at Liang Tan with hatred.

"You vicious woman! Hit me if you want to!"

Liang Tan: “…”

What a pair of ill-fated mandarin ducks.

Liang Tan had a cold expression on his face, with an extremely cold smile on his face, and pointed the whip at Li Ruo.

Liang Tan opened his thin lips and said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, "Bang——"

A long bloody mark was left on Li Ruo's chest.

Li Ruo bared his teeth as he looked at the wound in front of him, and glared at Liang Tan with poisonous eyes: "It was my mistake to fall into your hands today, I'll do it another day..."

"昘——"

There was another bloodstain on Li Ruo's body.

"Liang Tan, you are such a vicious woman! I only regret why I didn't see your true face earlier!"

What a coincidence, she also hated why she didn't see his true face earlier.

Besides, he kept calling her a vicious woman, and if she didn't prove it, wouldn't it be a waste of his disgust?

Liang Tan mercilessly hit Li Ruo with a few more blows of the whip.

Xu Shengsheng, who was stopped behind Li Ruo, pretended to rush to block him, but Li Ruo insisted on protecting her behind him.

Only when his chest was twisted and covered with blood did Liang Tan throw away the whip in his hand.

Li Ruo was also relieved, thinking that Liang Tan would fight again.

Unexpectedly, the maid beside Liang Tan handed him a new bramble.

Li Ruo was dumbfounded. He looked at the new bramble and shouted at Liang Tan, "Liang Tan, are you crazy?"

Liang Tan looked coldly: "Why do you say that, Mr. Li?"

Li Ruo wanted to cover the wounds on his body, but there were too many wounds on his body and he couldn't cover them all with his hands.

Li Ruo's mouth was bloody. He pointed at the new whip in Liang Tan's hand and said, "Are you trying to kill me?! Don't forget that this is in front of your house. You whipped me with so many whips in public. If this gets out, I'll see if you still have shame!"

"No one in Jiangnan City dares to marry a vicious woman like you!"

The fiancé who used to be in love with her revealed his true nature and spoke harshly to her, while he protected the culprit and held her accountable.

How...ironic.

"Mr. Li, you act like this towards your former fiancée, aren't you afraid that people all over the world will laugh at you?"

Liang Tan's gaze passed Li Ruo and fixed on Xu Shengsheng's face.

Xu Shengsheng was frightened by Liang Tan's gaze and trembled again.

Even she herself didn't know why she was so afraid of Liang Tan's gaze.

"I acted? How did I act?! I came here to apologize to you, not to let you vent your anger. Besides, why did you involve an innocent girl in our matter?"

Speaking of Xu Shengsheng, Li Ruo did not forget to turn his head and glance at the beauty hiding behind him.

Listening to Li Ruo's words, Liang Tan found it extremely ridiculous.

She said coldly, "Didn't Xu Shengsheng come here to get beaten?"

As soon as Liang Tan said this, Li Ruo was stunned like a wooden chicken.

Afterwards, Li Ruo stiffened his neck and retorted to Liang Tan unconvincedly: "That's because you went too far. This girl couldn't stand it anymore, so she wanted to help me."

Liang Tan: “…”
