Male superiority and female superiority: forced love

After dinner, Xiang Yunchi and Ruan Chuyin leisurely strolled around Yangcheng.

The pace of life here was slow during the day. Even until three quarters past midnight, they still saw many people dining at open-air restaurants. Some ordered wontons, others two meat patties and a bowl of tofu soup. Life was as comfortable as it could be, making her think the people of Nanxing were incredibly happy. As a person of the most slow-paced nature, she figured settling here might be quite pleasant.

Just as they were about to go home, several screams came from a small alley in front of them on the right.

"Should we go over and take a look?" Ruan Chuyin felt that the screams were too terrifying. Was they beating someone to death or killing someone?

"Don't meddle in other people's business." Xiang Yunchi hugged the person in his arms without even frowning.

Ruan Chuyin walked past the alley in fear. As if possessed by a ghost, she glanced at the man who had fallen to the ground and was deeply beaten. She called out tremblingly, "Mei... Mr. Mei?"

"Do you know him? A friend?" Xiang Yunchi stopped and glanced at the man who was holding his head and calling for help.

"Damn it, I'll let you run away again! Keep beating him! Beat him until his legs are broken!" A burly man cursed and kicked him again, feeling unsatisfied.

Mei Boyan suddenly raised his head and spat out a large mouthful of blood. He bent forward and clutched his stomach tightly, his forehead covered with sweat. His charming face had been beaten to the point of completely losing its former luster. Sticky blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, forming a thin thread.

"Boss, this pretty boy looks like he's dying. The princess hasn't had a taste of him yet, so stop beating him!" Another slightly shorter man stopped punching and said worriedly.

"You're lucky." The leading man spat at the "paper man" on the ground and said to his two subordinates, "Carry it back, wash it, and send it to the princess's mansion."

Ruan Chuyin watched in horror as Mei Boyan was picked up like a puppet. His miserable appearance was no different from being tortured and killed. She burst into tears on the spot.

"Who! Sneaking around! Get out here!"

Xiang Yunchi had heard the word "princess" and didn't want to intervene. But since he had been discovered and the person was someone Xiao Baitu knew, he decided to save her.

A dark green light flashed from the sleeves, and before the four men could even see who was coming, they were split in two and fell in a pool of blood.

"Ah!" A heart-wrenching scream rang out in the air, and Ruan Chuyin fainted on the spot.

Oh no! I was so good at it, I scared my wife...

Xiang Yunchi's expression suddenly changed, and he looked displeased at the weakling leaning against the wall, panting. He curled his lips and took the person back to the Zhenguogong Mansion.

Xiang Wanrong and Wu Shuhong were stunned and quickly asked what had happened.

Yue Yixing happened to come back at this time and took another bite of the big melon.

"You are so impulsive. Only you can scold someone in front of your wife!" Wu Shuhong looked at his unconscious daughter-in-law worriedly and shook his head.

Xiang Wanrong glared at her son unhappily, and before the two elders noticed, she asked Yue Yixing to quickly throw the bloody man out.

"No, Hatsune knows that person. Let's wait until she wakes up." Xiang Yunchi firmly objected. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to save her if he took her away?

"Okay, then. Go talk to your grandparents later." Xiang Wanrong didn't bother to care. If he wanted to crash into the crater, then so be it. Wu Shuhong still felt it was inappropriate and personally sent him to Zhenshan Garden to recuperate.

Ruan Chuyin woke up and the first thing she saw was her mother-in-law, and she finally felt at ease. But the moment she saw Xiang Yunchi, bloody scenes began to emerge in her mind again, and her eyes were once again filled with deep fear. She pulled the satin quilt high, completely separating herself from Xiang Yunchi.

"Look, you scared me! You! You're such a grown man, but you still don't know how to behave!" Xiang Wanrong scolded him angrily, picking up the pillow beside her and throwing it at him. Then she pulled down the satin quilt covering her daughter-in-law's head and comforted her, "It's okay. I'll ask the kitchen to make you some calming soup later. By the way, your father has sent your friend to Zhenshanyuan to recuperate. Don't worry."

Ruan Chuyin bit her lower lip and said nothing.

Why can they talk about killing so easily and calmly? As if the one under the knife is not a human but a chicken?

Why can Yun Chi take action in broad daylight without any burden or scruples?

If one day I accidentally make him angry, will he stab me?

Thinking of this, the fear in her eyes deepened. At this moment, she realized the danger and horror of the assassination master, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The little white rabbit's strange behavior made Xiang Yunchi's expression become solemn, and he felt a kind of uneasiness and panic that he had never felt before. This time, the mistake was too outrageous, and the action was too stupid.

"Mom will go to the kitchen, you two can chat." Xiang Wanrong saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly made an excuse to leave.

The room was eerily quiet. Xiang Yunchi wanted to move closer, but the little white rabbit's wary and uneasy eyes made him hesitate.

"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll go buy it." I really couldn't stand my wife's resisting look.

Ruan Chuyin understood very quickly this time and said immediately, "Date and yam cake, stewed pork elbow with ham, peach blossom rice, and stir-fried bamboo shoots with crab meat."

"Okay." Xiang Yunchi looked at the little white rabbit deeply, turned and left.

Not long after, footsteps were heard outside the house again.

Back so soon? Ruan Chuyin wondered. When she saw Yue Yixing, she was startled for a moment and went to meet him.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

"Come to see you. Are you feeling better? Are you feeling unwell?" Yue Yixing asked with concern. His bright eyes carefully examined her face, fearing he might have missed something.

His voice is so gentle that it makes people feel as if they are bathing in a hot spring, with an indescribable comfort.

Suddenly, Ruan Chuyin thought of something and lowered her voice to ask, "Second brother, can you help me find Ji Zhiya and ask him to pick me up? But I don't know where he is now."

"Leave it to me." Yue Yixing nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Half an incense stick later, my mother-in-law returned with some soothing soup. Xiang Yunchi also brought a lunch box. He not only bought what he wanted, but also added a few other dishes.

Ruan Chuyin wasn't hungry at all. After a few bites, she felt incredibly full. At this moment, the Zhenbei King and his wife also arrived. They had received the news and were worried, so they came to check on her.

As more people filled the room, the atmosphere gradually became less tense. Ruan Chuyin, seeking to distract herself, immersed herself in Danqing's instruction. Xiang Ge studied with the utmost diligence, his attitude as serious as a student's. This unwavering dedication to small details was moving, and it reminded her of her own perseverance during the Gaokao.

After finishing a painting, Ji Zhiya arrived. Tong Yuqing rushed in excitedly and pulled her granddaughter away without saying a word.

In the central hall, Xiang Yunchi listened to his grandmother's warm greetings, his eyes constantly glancing at the little white rabbit. It wasn't until Ji Zhiya said he wanted to take Ruan Chuyin away for a few days that the surroundings fell silent.
