Complete suppression, Song Xi was unable to move.
She immediately felt humiliated and struggled desperately, but the harder she resisted, the more excited the man behind her became.
Finally, the thin green dress was lifted, and a biting cold wind poured in. Song Xi felt immensely ashamed.
She angrily rebuked, "Lou Yuming, don't do this!"
"Do what?"
He turned her over, observing her current expression while continuing his actions.
Song Xi's body trembled, on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly, voices of a man and woman conversing drifted in from outside the door.
"Brother, do you know where Yuming went? He didn't answer when I called him."
The mobile phone, currently tossed onto the table by Lou Yuming, vibrated with a moderate intensity.
Song Xi's scalp tingled.
"You control where he goes too? Do you really see yourself as Mrs. Lou? And, you're not allowed to call me brother!"
"Bro..."
Anna sighed helplessly, "I heard you're in Yun Ji now. If there's anything I can help with—"
"I'm sorry, I overstepped. I know you dislike me, but my marriage with Yuming was arranged by Grandma, and I can't help it."
"Can't help it?" Shao Cheng sneered, "You know very well what you've done! As long as I'm here, I will never let Yuming marry you!"
With that, Shao Cheng left.
"Bro, Bro!"
Anna stomped her foot aggrievedly, "Why can't you help your own sister..."
After Anna left, Lou Yuming noticed the person in his arms had faltered. He cupped her chin, "Had enough listening? If you've had enough, let's get back to business."
But before he could proceed further, a string of scorching tears landed on the back of his hand.
Lou Yuming frowned, "What are you crying for?"
Song Xi rarely cried. Even when beaten to the brink of death by Zhang Qi, she hadn't cried. When bullied by Lou Yuming in the past, she hadn't cried either.
But today, she was crying.
Once a woman starts crying, she can't stop. Her tears fell one after another, fierce and urgent.
Her delicate makeup was smudged. She desperately tried to hold back her tears, but it was ineffective.
Such a display of sorrow and helplessness, like pear blossoms in the rain, struck Lou Yuming as novel.
He found it amusing and admired her silently for a few seconds before reaching out.
Before he could touch her face, with a sudden "slap," she had reached out and struck his hand.
The force was no threat to Lou Yuming, but the back of his pale hand still turned red.
Instead of getting angry, he laughed and leaned closer.
Song Xi choked back her sobs and cried out, "Don't touch me!"
Lou Yuming's gaze darkened.
The ambiguous atmosphere plummeted.
She sniffled, then finally took a deep breath to compose herself.
"Lou Yuming."
She bravely met his gaze, "Let's break up."
Her nose, eyes, and cheeks were all red at this moment. Lou Yuming extinguished the desire within him, stepped forward, his voice chilling.
"Say that again."
Song Xi's entire body trembled. Before she could speak, Lou Yuming coldly grasped her face.
"We have no relationship, so what is there to break up?"
His demeanor clearly indicated he was angered.
Song Xi felt fear, her mind blank. At this moment, she had no thoughts, only wishing for it all to end, to end quickly!
"...Then let it end."
As soon as the words fell, Lou Yuming coldly flung her away.
He stood over her, an aura of coldness emanating from him.
In her daze, Song Xi seemed to hear his icy voice.
"Alright, as you wish."
