Chapter 97: Chapter 96: The Contrary Bone

How could Xu Niannian possibly listen to his words?

Perhaps it was because she had been defeated by him in their many exchanges that Xu Niannian suddenly developed a rebellious streak.

He forbade her, yet she insisted on doing it anyway.

At first, it was just a small struggle; now, her entire being was struggling.

"Let me go at once."

As she spoke, she continued to struggle, trying to break free from Jin Yu’s iron grip.

At this moment, Xu Niannian hadn’t realized that she was yanking on Jin Yu’s nerves.

Jin Yu’s deep eyes narrowed into slits. Not only did this woman not stop, but she was also wreaking havoc continuously.

Jin Yu became furious and yanked Xu Niannian over, pinning her against the wall, "Try moving around one more time, I dare you?"

The provoked man’s handsome face darkened, his whole body emitting an intimidating aura.

The ruthless ferocity he had on the battlefield instantly burst forth, so oppressive that people nearly couldn’t lift their heads.

This face was completely different from the ruffian-like one Xu Niannian usually saw.

This was also the first time Xu Niannian felt so deeply the terror of Jin Yu.

Just for a moment, she had no doubts that Jin Yu could snap her neck in a second!

Fearing for her life, she couldn’t help but swallow hard, looking at him with trepidation.

Her eyes were beautiful and lovely to look at. Even when she glared, people found it endearing, not to mention when she looked at them with a piteous gaze.

The clear distinction in her black and white eyes shone with moisture as she looked at Jin Yu with wet eyes, eliciting an immense sense of pity.

Jin Yu took in the anxiety and aggrievement in her eyes and involuntarily loosened his grip on her shoulders, his intimidating presence dissipating in an instant.

Faced with such a delicate woman, Jin Yu suddenly felt like he was a bully, the crude sort of old hooligan.

Feeling uncomfortable, he withdrew the leg that was pressing on her knee and softened his voice.

He intended to explain properly that he wasn’t really going to do anything to her. After hesitating for a few seconds, he blurted out, "Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you."

Xu Niannian didn’t speak, her gaze involuntarily lowered.

Being stared at with such eyes, Jin Yu’s ears heated up, and he cursed under his breath before grabbing her neck again, somewhat frantically saying, "Xu Jiaojiao, you’re testing my limits."

Now that Jin Yu had returned to normal, Xu Niannian wasn’t as scared, but she was still timid. She wasn’t a match for him in direct confrontation, and even if it came to leverage, she could only serve as a backdrop.

Consequently, she meekly replied, "Oh."

Her voice sounded soft and weak, and paired with her aggrieved look, she seemed pitiable no matter how one looked at her.

Jin Yu’s hand was still on her neck as he looked down, their eyes meeting.

Her doe eyes, watery and pleading, resembled those of a wounded little animal. Her eyelids trembled slightly, giving her an utterly pitiful look.

Jin Yu suddenly couldn’t take it anymore and let her go, his eyes flickering. Damn it, why was there such a fragile woman who looked as though she would break if touched, like a porcelain doll?

Perhaps realizing that he had been silent for too long, he awkwardly changed the subject, "You had your brother call me brother-in-law?"

With her life no longer in danger, Xu Niannian let out a sigh of relief. The warmth of his palm seemed to linger on her neck, making her nape feel hot. It was her fear of death.

"No, they called you that on their own. Don’t worry; I don’t plan to entangle myself with you forever. We can annul the engagement soon, without waiting a year."

"That’s for the best," Jin Yu said. Having finished the conversation, Jin Yu had no intention of staying longer. He went back to the room to call Ye Shaoting and was ready to leave.
