Zeng Min felt that wasn't enough. She picked up a sickle and walked towards Wang Shugen. When Wang Shugen saw her with the sickle, he hurriedly crawled backward, saying as he crawled, "Zeng Min, you mustn't kill anyone! Murderers are paraded through the streets. You're a pretty young girl, you don't want to be paraded through the streets, do you?"

Wang Shugen's eyes were already hurting so much he couldn't open them, yet he kept backing away as he spoke, fearing that Zeng Min might lose her temper and kill him to silence him.

But Zeng Min seemed not to hear what he was saying. She wanted the man in front of her to die. She held the sickle up to her eyes, looked at it, and felt a chill run down her spine when she thought of the sound of the sickle cutting flesh.

He threw away the sickle, picked up a stone from the side, and smashed it at Wang Shugen. Wang Shugen was so frightened that his legs went weak, and the stone hit him on the head.

She knocked him unconscious with one blow, but Zeng Min was still not satisfied. She picked up a stone from the side and smashed it against his head again.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side.

"Ah~ Ah~ Ah..." Zeng Min was startled and let out a rapid cry of surprise.

She instinctively threw the stone in her hand toward the source of the sound. When Tu Mingcheng saw the stone she threw, he quickly dodged to the side and then went forward to pick her up.

Tu Mingcheng quickly comforted her, "Xiaomin, it's me, it's me, don't be afraid, okay? It's me, Tu Mingcheng, don't be afraid!"

Tu Mingcheng hugged Zeng Min and gently patted her back, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here."

Zeng Min gradually came to her senses, looked at Tu Mingcheng in front of her, and couldn't help but shed tears.

"What are you doing here...?" Zeng Min said, choking back tears.

Tu Mingcheng wiped away her tears. "I saw some commotion over here, so I came to check. Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise..."

He looked at Wang Shugen, who was lying unconscious on the ground, his eyes filled with anger and relief.

"Don't get your hands dirty, I'll handle the rest, okay?!" Tu Mingcheng said.

Zeng Min leaned against him, feeling his warmth, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.

“Thank you, Tu Mingcheng… I…” she said softly.

Tu Mingcheng hugged her, interrupting her before she could say anything, "No need to say anything, I know. You were scared, weren't you? Don't be afraid, let's get out of here first." He tightened his grip on Zeng Min, as if trying to embed her into his body. Tu Mingcheng also felt a wave of fear.

If he had arrived a moment later, and Xiaomin had actually killed Wang Shugen, wouldn't she have been traumatized afterward?

He picked Zeng Min up in a princess carry, then kicked Wang Shugen in the groin to make sure he wouldn't wake up.

Then they headed down the mountain. "Don't worry, leave it to me, everything will be alright," Tu Mingcheng comforted him in a low voice.

Zeng Min nodded, closed her eyes, and nestled in his arms to calm her body, which had just been frightened.

Tu Mingcheng carried Zeng Min back home, placed her on the bed, and then stayed by her bedside.

Quietly watching Zeng Min, whose face was still streaked with tears, Tu Mingcheng felt a pang of tenderness in his heart.

Zeng Min, however, was filled with lingering fear because of what happened today, which reminded her of her past life.

Looking up at the man guarding her bedside, his presence was strong, making her feel incredibly at ease. His eyes revealed a firmness and confidence, and the hormones emanating from him exuded a unique charm that irresistibly drew her in.

Seeing him made her heart ache and soften uncontrollably. Zeng Min propped herself up, stretched out her hands to him, looked at him with a coquettish gaze, and said softly, "Can you hug me? I'm scared."

Looking at Zeng Min like this, how could Tu Mingcheng possibly refuse?

So he sat down beside the bed, held her in his arms, and whispered comforting words, gently patting Zeng Min's back to let her sleep peacefully.

Tu Mingcheng couldn't suppress the rage in his heart when he thought about how Zeng Min had almost been bullied today.

He decided that he would protect her well from now on and never let her suffer any more harm.

At the same time, he realized that his feelings for Zeng Min were growing stronger. Perhaps, this is love...

When Zeng Min woke up again, it was already dark. She saw that Tu Mingcheng hadn't gone back yet and had already prepared the meal.

Zeng Min was a little confused when she saw her son sitting next to her at the dining table.

Zeng Min rubbed her eyes. She remembered losing control of her emotions, and then Tu Mingcheng staying with her the whole time. Could it be that none of this was a dream?

"Mom, you're finally awake!" Her son's voice brought Zeng Min back to reality.

"Hmm..." Zeng Min responded, "Did your Uncle Tu make all of these?"

"Yes, Mom, you don't know, Uncle Tu's cooking is so delicious!" the son said excitedly.

Zeng Min looked at her son, feeling a warmth in her heart. She then looked at Tu Mingcheng, who was smiling at her.

"Come and eat," Tu Mingcheng said.

Zeng Min nodded, walked to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the sumptuous dinner, she felt much better.

"Thank you, Brother Mingcheng," Zeng Min said sincerely.

"You're welcome," Tu Mingcheng replied with a smile.

Zeng Min smiled and began to enjoy this cozy breakfast time.

After finishing her meal, watching the man washing the dishes and tidying up, she cautiously asked, "About what happened on the mountain..."

Tu Mingcheng interrupted her before she could speak, saying, "Don't worry, I've already taken care of it. Just pretend it never happened." He then exchanged a glance with Zeng Min and gestured for her to relax.

Zeng Min watched him efficiently wash the dishes and tidy up the stove, and, trying to make conversation, asked, "Do you often cook at home? The dishes you cooked today were delicious."

Tu Mingcheng felt a secret joy when he heard Zeng Min praise his cooking.

"If you like it, I'll make it for you often from now on, okay?" This question had a slightly probing tone.

Upon hearing this, Zeng Min looked at him in surprise, as if to confirm whether he was joking.

Although she intended to flirt with him, she hadn't taken any action yet; she just wanted to win his favor in advance.

In fact, although Zeng Min had a special interest in and wanted to use this man, and deliberately got close to him, she never thought she could easily win over Tu Mingcheng.

She originally planned to approach him slowly, win his favor through small gestures, and then take further action when the time was right.

After all, the other party is still married, so she needs to act cautiously to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and misunderstandings.

However, Zeng Min was caught off guard by the other party's sudden and direct statement.

She couldn't help but begin to re-examine their relationship and her own plans.

Perhaps their previous interactions made the other person realize her feelings? Or perhaps they had some misunderstanding about her?

So she said, "You're a married woman and I'm a divorced woman, and we don't even see each other often. How can you do this for me? What? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Zeng Min pointed out that their identities were inappropriate.

“What if I get a divorce too? Would that make things easier?” Tu Mingcheng then said, “I’ve already brought up divorce with her. She’s been coming to the city a lot lately. She hasn’t come to see you these past few days because I found out she’s been getting close to a man. I want to wait until they get even closer so I can find something on her and get a divorce.”

As she spoke, she looked up at Zeng Min cautiously, afraid that she would think she was heartless.

Tu Mingcheng is not a kind person.
