Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Shen Jingyuan glanced at her coldly, then turned and said loudly to the outside of the door: "It's okay, just focus on steering the ship, and call me when you get to Jinling."

"Okay, I'm glad you're okay!" The boatman responded hurriedly, and the sound of his footsteps gradually faded away.

The cabin became quiet again, and Shen Jingyuan turned his gaze back to Lin Xi.

His eyes were as calm as water, without any urging or extra emotions. He just looked at her quietly, but it made Lin Xi feel that all her little thoughts were exposed.

Facing Shen Jingyuan's calm yet oppressive gaze, Lin Xi finally gave in little by little. After hesitating for a long time, she finally reluctantly told him how she left home and how she got on the cargo ship by chance.

But at the end, as if to save face or hide her embarrassment, she emphasized it casually.

"Anyway, it's me. I don't want to be engaged to that Xu guy anymore! He's nothing but a piece of shit. He's not worthy of me!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyuan glanced at her still red eyes. He did not expose her intentions that were trying to hide something, but instead caught another more crucial piece of information and asked directly.

"Where did you get your gun from?"

Lin Xi did have a gun in the past. The Shanghai market was full of mixed people and the situation was turbulent. As the jewel in the crown of Commander Lin, there were many people who kept an eye on the mother and daughter of the Lin family, both openly and covertly, and wanted to wait for an opportunity to act.

Although they are always accompanied by drivers and guards when traveling, in times of crisis, having a gun in their hands is the most real protection.

But Lin Xi had a bad temper. Once, she had a big fight with Xu Yucheng. She ran back to her room angrily, got a gun, and chased after Xu Yucheng who had just left the Lin Mansion, threatening to shoot him!

Although everyone finally stopped her and found that there was no bullet in the gun, her reckless and murderous look still scared everyone present.

So from then on, Commander Lin confiscated the gun in Lin Xi's hand and did not allow her to touch these things. He only arranged more people to protect her when she went in and out.

"Gun?" Lin Xi seemed stunned when she heard that, but then she quickly reacted and placed the thing she had been holding on the table. "What are you talking about?"

Shen Jingyuan followed her gaze and looked at the finger-knuckle-sized object on the table. The expression on his face was blank for a moment, as if he couldn't react to the connection between this thing and the gun.

Seeing that he looked like he had never seen the world before, Lin Xi reached out and picked up the thin brass tube engraved with twined branch patterns, unscrewed the metal shell on top, revealing the bright and smooth paste inside.

"This is lipstick." Lin Xi handed the lipstick to Shen Jingyuan and explained again as if she was afraid that he didn't understand, "It's just lip balm, eh? Why is it broken?"

She is truly a willful young lady!

Shen Jingyuan felt the veins on his forehead twitching uncontrollably again. He reached out and pinched his eyebrows, took a deep breath, and then barely suppressed the urge to pry open the brain of the person opposite him to see what was inside.

"So when you ran away from home without any self-defense, you remembered to bring this..." He looked at Lin Xi, who was trying to reconnect the broken lipstick with a distressed look on her face, and closed his eyes tightly, "Lipstick?"

"What's wrong? This is my favorite lipstick, shipped from France. There are only ten of them in the whole Shanghai." Lin Xi was concentrating on repairing her lipstick. She didn't hear the suppressed emotion in his tone and spoke nonchalantly.

Seeing that she was completely unaware of the danger of her actions today, Shen Jingyuan finally couldn't help but frown, "Have you ever thought about this? If it wasn't me who appeared on this boat, you would have died just now?"

"Humph, it's not as exaggerated as you say. I am my father's daughter. Who dares to bully me? Do you think your life is not long enough?"

Lin Xi finally reconnected the broken lipstick and put it away with satisfaction. She looked up at Shen Jingyuan's cold gaze, curled her lips indifferently, and her tone was full of self-righteous arrogance.

Shen Jingyuan looked at her ignorant look, and his face, which was trying to maintain calm, suddenly collapsed for a moment. He stopped talking, but his eyes suddenly became sharp.

When Lin Xi was caught off guard, Shen Jingyuan attacked like lightning and pounced forward.

"what!"

Lin Xi only felt a flash before his eyes, and then he fell backwards uncontrollably.

The moment she fell to the ground, even with Shen Jingyuan's hand cushioning her head, Lin Xi was still dizzy from the shock.

However, before she could recover from the impact, the cold big hand behind her head had already accurately strangled her fragile throat.

"Let me go! Shen Jingyuan! What are you crazy about?!"

Her most vulnerable neck was held in someone's palm. Lin Xi's face turned pale for a moment, and then turned red again. She widened her eyes and looked at Shen Jingyuan who was pressing on her. While cursing, she stretched out her hand, trying to dig out the big hand that Shen Jingyuan was pinching her neck.

But Shen Jingyuan seemed to have already noticed her intention. He stretched out his big hands and grabbed her wrists. With a little force, he nailed them on top of Lin Xi's head.

With her neck pinched in someone's hands and her hands restrained, Lin Xi's face turned pale and she immediately began to struggle violently, kicking her feet wildly on the deck and screaming in frustration.

However, her struggle seemed so futile in the face of absolute power suppression. Shen Jingyuan slightly exerted force on the hand that was pinching her neck, and she could no longer make any sound.

"Ho! Ho!"

All of Lin Xi's shouts and curses were instantly cut off in her throat, turning into intermittent breaths. Her eyes widened in horror due to lack of oxygen, and her vision began to go black. For the first time, the shadow of death loomed over her so realistically and coldly.

She looked at Shen Jingyuan's face which was so close to her. There was no expression on his face, but his dark eyes were filled with a terrifying murderous aura that she had never seen before.

At this moment, there was only one thought in Lin Xi's mind: He's going to kill me! He's really going to kill me!

But in just a moment, the pressure on the neck suddenly disappeared.

"Cough cough cough! Ugh—cough cough cough—!"

A large amount of cold air suddenly rushed into her lungs. Lin Xi curled up her body and coughed violently. Tears burst out uncontrollably, mixed with snot, staining her entire face.

The huge shock of surviving the disaster made her feel weak all over, but the rage of being offended instantly ignited her. She raised her head suddenly, two balls of fire in her eyes, and used all the remaining strength in her body to slap Shen Jingyuan in the face with her backhand!
