Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Wanting to Strangle Myself
Lin Anning wept, heartbroken.
She’d never dreamed things would turn out this way.
Wang Chenning hadn’t shown the restraint she’d expected.
But that wasn’t the worst part. What she found most difficult to accept was that it all felt like her own doing.
Not only had she submitted to Wang Chenning, but she had also done things that, in hindsight, made her want to die of shame.
It was as if the whole incident had been turned on its head, making it look like *she* was the one forcing Wang Chenning.
Everything had turned out exactly as Wang Chenning had mockingly predicted.
She had begged him.
No, it wasn’t begging for mercy... it was her wanting him to be even more domineering.
And Wang Chenning hadn’t disappointed her.
But now that it was over, she was so mortified she wanted to strangle herself.
She hated Wang Chenning. She hated him so much. That despicable man had shattered her very principles.
What was worse, as she lay there, sobbing softly, Wang Chenning had comforted her so tenderly—and she, to her own shock, had no desire to resist.
Over and over, she was so mortified she wanted to strangle herself. Crying was the only way to release her emotions.
But his caresses were just too wicked, and she found herself wanting her life to "ascend" again...
When Wang Chenning pulled her close, she didn’t push him away in disgust as she should have.
She closed her eyes, replaying what had just happened. She had to admit, the man’s methods were terrifyingly effective.
’A simple manipulation of acupressure points could actually control a person’s actions.’
’If there had been security cameras, anyone watching the footage would think *she* was the aggressor, and that Wang Chenning was completely blameless.’
Even as she wanted to strangle herself, another phrase popped into her head: ’You’re incredible!’
’It was the perfect way to describe Wang Chenning!’
As her thoughts ran wild, she felt his warm breath tickling her lips.
She savored the sensation for a moment before a strange feeling began to stir within her. Finally, unable to resist, she parted her lips slightly.
A moment later, she felt a warm, soft pressure. She knew she should refuse, but as if guided by some unseen force, she welcomed it instead.
When Wang Chenning gave her a tender kiss, she found herself melting into it almost immediately.
Wang Chenning sensed the shift in Lin Anning’s attitude and decided to tease her, intentionally leaving her wanting more.
In the end, his game of push-and-pull annoyed her, and her old, tomboyish assertiveness flared up once more.
「An hour later.」
Lin Anning was nestled silently in Wang Chenning’s arms.
Her arms and legs were still wrapped tightly around him, unwilling to let go.
’So, being a man isn’t nearly as blissful as being a woman!’ The thought struck her out of nowhere.
For a few moments back there, she hadn’t wanted to think about anything at all. She had just wanted that feeling of ascension to last forever, right up until the moment she died.
’How did it come to this?’
She wanted to strangle herself again!
’From now on, I’ll never be able to hold my head high in front of him. I’ve lost all standing to fight him.’
Wang Chenning was very pleased with Lin Anning’s reaction.
It was true, it takes a woman to understand a woman. Luo Yuqing’s rotten idea had produced exactly the effect he’d hoped for.
He no longer needed to fear the Lin family. He could turn Lin Anning into his woman on the inside.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Chenning picked up Lin Anning, who was curled up in his arms, and prepared to give her a bath.
Lin Anning no longer had her previous tomboyish ferocity. Now, she was as docile as a kitten.
When Wang Chenning carried her into the bathtub and sat down, she simply lay there quietly.
After gently and tenderly washing her, Wang Chenning carried her back to the bed.
As he tucked Lin Anning under the covers, Wang Chenning caught sight of a bright crimson stain, and his heart skipped a beat.
’This woman seemed so flirtatious and worldly, yet deep down, she was still so innocent.’
After tucking her in, Wang Chenning gently stroked her face and said softly, "I’m leaving now. Get some sleep."
Lin Anning, who had been lying with her eyes closed, suddenly opened them. She gazed at Wang Chenning, her expression complex.
Wang Chenning met her gaze quietly, then slowly lowered his head toward hers.
A blush crept onto Lin Anning’s pretty face, but she didn’t turn away. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes.
After a tender, lingering kiss, Wang Chenning massaged her for a little while longer before leaning close to her ear to whisper, "I’m going now. Good night."
As he reached the bedroom door, Wang Chenning glanced back to find Lin Anning staring at him, her eyes wide.
"If you’re still resentful about my revenge today, you can tell me. We can discuss how to resolve it tomorrow night." Wang Chenning held up his phone. "Just send me a text."
With that, Wang Chenning left.
About ten minutes later, Wang Chenning received a text from Lin Anning: "Wang Chenning, you bastard! I hate you!"
Wang Chenning paid it no mind and deleted the message.
After sending the text, Lin Anning covered her mouth and began to sob again, her cries full of anguish.
She’d never imagined something like this would happen tonight, and she certainly never expected this to be the outcome.
Before, she had despised Wang Chenning. She often fantasized that if she ever got her hands on him, she would scratch up that handsome face of his and then find a way to utterly destroy him, just to vent her hatred.
But now... she didn’t know if she should still hate him.
She wiped her tears away, closed her eyes, and replayed the night’s events in her mind.
The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to strangle herself.
’He was right. In the end, I was the one who begged for mercy.’
’I was utterly defeated by him, with no chance of ever turning the tables.’
’Worse, he even destroyed my principles.’
She got up and gently touched the beautiful crimson flower on the sheet. "How am I supposed to feel about him now?" she murmured to herself.
Call the police? The thought hadn’t even crossed Lin Anning’s mind.
From the very beginning of her rivalry with Wang Chenning, she had been prepared to accept the consequences of losing.
Besides, she knew something like this could never be revealed to anyone else. If it were, she would be the one who was ruined.
More importantly, Wang Chenning had made her life... ascend.
The man claimed it was revenge, but he hadn’t tortured her wantonly. Instead, he had given her a new perspective on life.
She thought back to their first meeting. During their drinking contest, he had secretly given her something to sober her up.
Later, when he clashed with her and her brother, he had only hit Lin Annian; he hadn’t slapped her.
Tonight, he had been nothing but gentle. She felt no pain now, only a hidden sense of feminine bliss deep in her heart.
’Could it be... he’s liked me from the very beginning?’ The thought startled even herself.
’Why don’t I hate him?’ she wondered, finding it strange. ’Is it because he’s handsome?’
’He really is incredible. And ridiculously capable. On one trip abroad, he won over so many people that even Li Fuzhen personally tried to curry favor with him. He’s only been in Yandu for a short time, but he already has so many women flocking to him. He’s run circles around Annian and Bai Qianxun, and Li Mingchao is even willing to be his subordinate! And... his smile is so beautiful. No one’s smile is more beautiful than his.’
’But I can’t just let him get away with this!’ Lin Anning sat bolt upright, snatched her phone, and sent another text to Wang Chenning: "Wang Chenning, this isn’t over!"
