Chapter 0101 That One Cry of "A-Ci"
The Maybach was parked in the underground garage of "Jinxiuyuan".
This is an upscale residential area near University A.
It is also the place that Jiang Ci personally crafted into a "cocoon" and that Wen Ning personally abandoned.
The car stalled.
In the back seat, Wen Ning leaned against the corner, her breathing a little rapid.
At the beginning of that dinner party, in order to warm up the atmosphere, she had actually been given two glasses of red wine.
She already had a low alcohol tolerance, and the extreme shock and grief she had just experienced had put her back into the swing of things.
dizzy.
The whole world is spinning.
"get off."
Jiang Ci opened the back door and looked at her coldly.
Wen Ning opened her eyes groggily.
"Where am I...?"
"Aren't we going back to the company?"
"Go back to what company?"
Jiang Ci reached out and roughly pulled her out.
"Are you going back looking like that, trying to become a laughingstock for the entire company?"
Wen Ning's legs went weak, and she almost knelt on the ground.
Jiang Ci frowned, reached out his long arm, and wrapped his arm around her waist.
He half-dragged, half-carried her towards the elevator.
28th floor.
Familiar numbers.
"drop--"
The fingerprint lock was unlocked.
The door was pushed open.
A stale yet familiar air wafted towards me.
Because Jiang Ci often comes to clean, there is no musty smell here; instead, it retains a faint, unique woody fragrance that belongs to this space.
The lights were not on.
Only the moonlight from outside the window shone in, illuminating the off-white wool carpet in the center of the living room.
And there's that pair of dusty couple's mugs on the coffee table.
Wen Ning stood in the entryway.
Alcohol numbed her mind and blurred the boundaries of time.
She looked at the familiar furnishings.
Look at those rounded corner bumpers.
Looking at the soft carpet under my feet.
My memory is becoming disordered.
She thought it was still three years ago.
I thought she hadn't left yet, and hadn't said those harsh words.
She thought Jiang Ci was still the boyfriend who would cook porridge for her and carry her on his back through the night.
"Well……"
Wen Ning shook her head, feeling that her head was very heavy.
On instinct, she kicked off the high heels that were rubbing against her feet.
Walking barefoot on the carpet.
Then, he turned around.
Facing the man behind her.
Jiang Ci had just closed the door.
I was just about to turn on the light.
Sudden.
A soft, warm body crashed into his arms.
Wen Ning hugged his waist.
She wrapped her arms tightly around him and rubbed her cheek against the shirt on his chest.
It's like a kitten that has been wandering outside for a long time and has finally returned to its owner.
It was filled with longing.
And unsuspecting trust.
Jiang Ci froze.
The hand that was reaching for the switch froze in mid-air.
"Wen Ning?"
His voice sounded a little tense.
"What's wrong with you, you drunkard? Let go of me."
He tried to push her.
I wanted to bring her to her senses and make her see the current situation clearly—he was the creditor, and she was the sinner.
but.
The person in his arms held him even tighter.
Wen Ning raised her head.
By the moonlight, she looked at Jiang Ci's cold and stern face.
Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, the familiar silhouette made her feel incredibly at ease.
"Aci..."
She spoke.
His voice was soft and weak, with a strong nasal tone and a hint of drunkenness.
It even had a hint of a coquettish sob in its tone.
"Aci... my head hurts..."
"hug……"
boom--!
These two words.
This long-awaited, dependent "Aci" was heard.
It was like a nuclear bomb that exploded instantly in Jiang Ci's mind.
His pupils contracted sharply.
He was frozen in place, as if struck by lightning, unable to move.
Three years.
Three whole years.
No one dared to call him that.
He thought he had forgotten.
He thought he had developed a heart of stone.
You can humiliate her with the most vicious words and torture her with the cruelest methods.
but.
It was just a single "A-ci".
It was just a hug with body heat.
His high walls and iron barriers, which he had built over three years, collapsed in an instant.
It was crushed into powder.
That suppressed longing and love, and that insane possessiveness that wanted to crush her in his arms, all for countless days and nights.
Like a flood bursting its banks.
Completely out of control.
"What did you call me?"
Jiang Ci lowered his head.
His voice was so hoarse it sounded like a vengeful ghost.
He was giving each other one last chance.
The last chance to regain consciousness.
"Look carefully at who I am!"
He grabbed her chin and stared intently at her.
Wen Ning blinked groggily.
Her fingers traced his brow bone.
My fingertips felt slightly cool.
"Ah Ci..."
She gave a silly laugh, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes.
"Why did you cut your hair...?"
"But... he's still so handsome..."
crit.
A complete and utter blow.
She has feelings for him.
Even when she was drunk and out of her mind, she still loved that boy in her subconscious.
Jiang Ci's rationality.
At this moment, the string snapped completely.
"You asked for it."
He growled in the darkness.
next second.
He suddenly bent over.
He scooped the woman in his arms up in one swift motion.
It's no longer that kind of careful and tender care.
Instead, it carries a punitive and predatory ferocity.
He strode to the center of the living room.
That sofa where they used to snuggle up together watching movies.
With a "bang".
Wen Ning was pressed heavily into the soft sofa.
Before she could even exclaim in surprise...
A burning hot body had already covered her.
Jiang Ci knelt on one knee on the sofa, trapping her beneath him.
In those eyes.
It's no longer indifference.
It's no longer about restraint.
Rather, it was a burning desire, a madness on the verge of exploding.
"Since you've provoked me..."
He grabbed her wrist and pressed it over her head.
The voice was deep and extremely dangerous.
"Then don't even think about getting away unscathed."
