The two women glared furiously at Ye Chu. Their beautiful eyes seemed to shoot flames, teeth clenched in hatred. Neither of them was foolish—how could they not understand Ye Chu’s true purpose now! How laughable that they had actually believed him earlier and nearly felt sorry for him, thinking his heart must truly be in such pain!
But it turned out this fellow had simply been toying with them, amusing himself with their emotions!
“Why don’t you just go die!” Zhang Su’er exploded in rage. She grabbed the chair behind her and hurled it viciously at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu quickly dodged. The chair smashed into the spot where he had stood and shattered into pieces. Seeing Zhang Su’er reach for another chair to throw, Ye Chu hurriedly raised his hands. “Stop! Stop! Do you two really refuse even my last wish? Do you hate me that much?”
“If you die, we won’t hate you anymore!” Zhang Su’er roared. Furious beyond reason, she snatched the chair Su Rong had been sitting on and smashed it towards Ye Chu again.
Ye Chu shook his head. Unable to resist, his gaze flickered briefly to the chests of both Su Rong and Zhang Su’er—full and prominent, nearly bursting through their clothes. He inwardly cursed: whoever said big chests mean no brains? These two girls have plenty up top, but their heads are sharp too! He had teased them for so long—even disgusted himself in the process—yet still hadn’t gotten the answer he wanted!
As the chair flew towards him, Ye Chu raised his arm to block it. The wooden chair shattered on impact, sending splinters flying in all directions!
Su Rong, being closer to Ye Chu, jumped back in fright from the flying debris. But in her haste, her foot caught on the corner of a nearby table. She lost her balance and crashed towards the ground.
“Ahhh…” Su Rong screamed, her mind blank with terror. She watched helplessly as her head hurtled towards the floor, her face drained of colour!
Just as Su Rong squeezed her eyes shut in panic, a pair of strong arms suddenly wrapped around her waist. With a powerful tug, Ye Chu pulled her back up, saving her from smashing her head.
Because he had acted so forcefully to catch her, Ye Chu ended up pressing tightly against Su Rong’s warm, soft, and fragrant body. His lower half pressed against hers. Through the thin fabric, he could feel the heat and astonishing elasticity of her body. Ye Chu had never expected things to turn so suddenly erotic. He tried to pull back slightly, but his body involuntarily leaned forward instead. His chest pressed firmly against hers. Their faces were now less than ten centimetres apart. He could clearly see the intoxicating moisture in Su Rong’s beautiful eyes. Their breaths mingled, warm exhalations brushing against each other’s faces, stirring an itchy sensation in the heart!
Ye Chu lowered his gaze. Through the collar of her dress, he caught a glimpse of a deep, snow-white valley—dazzlingly fair. His body could not help reacting instinctively! That hardness pressed against Su Rong’s soft lower abdomen, sinking in slightly before being pushed back by the resilient flesh. Though nothing further happened, just the intimate contact was already unbearably tantalising!
“Ahhh…”
Su Rong finally came back to her senses. Like a startled rabbit, she shoved Ye Chu away hard. Her ears burned crimson, her cheeks scorching hot.
But as she pushed him, Su Rong forgot about the table behind her. Her foot caught again, and she lost balance once more—crashing straight towards Ye Chu. The two of them tumbled to the ground together.
Zhang Su’er had not seen that Su Rong tripped on the table leg. Watching Su Rong throw herself at Ye Chu, she assumed Su Rong had willingly thrown herself into his arms. This scene left her completely stunned, frozen in place!
Ye Chu had not expected this either. Caught off guard by Su Rong’s fall, he was knocked flat onto the floor. Su Rong landed on top of him, her full, proud chest pressing firmly against his body. He could feel the scalding heat of the delicate figure in his arms. Ignoring the pain at the back of his head from the impact, Ye Chu’s mind was utterly captivated by the warm, fragrant softness enveloping him.
Su Rong’s face hovered directly above his—less than a centimetre apart. Her exquisite features were breathtakingly beautiful up close. He could smell the faint, intoxicating fragrance emanating from her body.
“Sorry! I’m so sorry!” In her panic, Su Rong had forgotten everything else. She kept apologising while pressing her small hands against Ye Chu’s chest, struggling to climb off him. Her cheeks blazed red, her beauty dizzying!
“Even if you really wanted to comfort me, you didn’t have to throw yourself at me like this!” Ye Chu gazed up at the stunningly beautiful Su Rong so close to him and could not help savouring the lingering warmth from moments ago!
Su Rong felt utterly mortified. Thinking back to the earlier intimacy—especially that hard thing pressing against her lower abdomen—her heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
Ye Chu stood not far away now, but Su Rong did not even have the courage to look at him again. “Su’er, have someone throw him out!”
Zhang Su’er had originally thought Su Rong had thrown herself willingly. But seeing Su Rong in such a state, she instantly realised Ye Chu must have used some trick to take advantage of Su Rong. Furious beyond measure, she shouted, “Guards! Beat this bastard out with sticks!”
Watching the two enraged women, Ye Chu could only laugh helplessly. He had only come to ask one question—was it really necessary to go this far? And everything that just happened could not all be blamed on him! If anyone suffered a loss, he had suffered too, all right! After all, he was also an incomparably handsome and peerless beauty of a man!
Ye Chu spoke whatever came to mind: “So you hugged and held me, and that counts as you suffering a loss? What about me? I was hugged and held too—I’m quite valuable, you know! If you take advantage of me and still call it a loss, how does it all fall on my head? Let’s just split it fifty-fifty and call it even, okay?”
“You…” Su Rong felt she would explode with anger. This fellow actually had the nerve to say he had suffered a loss—especially after that disgusting thing had pressed against her lower abdomen! Su Rong truly wanted to grab a pair of scissors and cut it off!
“Beat him out with sticks!” Zhang Su’er roared. “Daring to cause trouble in the Prime Minister’s Residence—you really are tired of living!”
“Wait!” Seeing the crowd of guards rushing in, Ye Chu hurriedly raised his hands. “Before you beat me to death with sticks, at least tell me where the Crimson Baleful Scripture solitary copy is! Let me die with peace of mind!”
Su Rong was furious beyond words. She had not expected this bastard to still remember his solitary copy even now. Thinking back to the earlier intimacy, shame and rage overwhelmed her. “So what if I tell you? The Crimson Baleful Scripture solitary copy is in His Majesty’s study! If you have the guts, go take it! I’m just afraid you wouldn’t dare!”
Su Rong finally understood—this fellow had come looking for her solely because of that item. Yet he had first tormented her with that long-winded speech, then used that disgusting thing to press against her. Su Rong now wanted nothing more than to bite him to death!
From childhood to now, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?! When had any man ever dared treat her so obscenely?
Fine—let her tell him exactly where it was. Let him lose all hope and die of frustration!
Though the guards of the Prime Minister’s Residence did not understand why Su Rong was so furious, since she had given the order, they would not hold back. They raised their sticks and charged straight at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu looked at the swarm of guards rushing towards him and could not help laughing. “Su Xiaorong! It seems you’ve forgotten what happened at Dingwu Hall. A bunch of useless trash like this thinks they can do anything to me?”
“Hmph! Today you dared cause trouble in the Prime Minister’s Residence. There will be no place left for you in Yao City!” Zhang Su’er glared at Ye Chu. She felt this fellow was truly rotten to the core—worse than any villain could describe. Calling Ye Chu a scoundrel was putting it mildly!
“What a joke! A mere Prime Minister’s Residence? I’ve even been inside the imperial palace. Do you think this broken place can scare me?” Ye Chu laughed, completely unconcerned. He stepped forward, intending to walk out.
“What audacity! Who dares call my place a broken dump!”
Just as Ye Chu was about to leave, a stern and authoritative voice rang out. Zhang Su’er’s eyes widened as she looked towards Su Rong.
“It’s the Prime Minister himself!”
