Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 285 Imprisonment
She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with malice. "The more Brother Shen likes her, the more I'll want to mess with her, to make her half-dead. Any woman who steals my happiness, I'll make her wish she were dead!"

Xiao Shen moved his jaw, grabbed her wrist, and roughly dragged her upstairs to her room.

Qian Ke'er was thrown hard onto the bed.

"Qian Ke'er, I'm giving your Qian family face so you won't take advantage of me. If you keep testing my patience, then let's see who's tougher, you or your Qian family!"

Qian Ke'er paused, looking at Xiao Shen nervously, "What did you say? You actually did this for that bitch..."

"Qian Ke'er, watch your words!" Xiao Shen's voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly intimidating.

Qian Ke'er's tears suddenly streamed down her face. She gripped the bedsheets tightly with both hands, biting her lips until they bled.

"Brother Shen, why are you doing this to me?"

Xiao Shen looked down at her with a cold gaze, "I'll give you one minute to get out of here with your men!"

Qian Ke'er got out of bed and elegantly tidied her hair. "Fine, Xiao Shen, I'll make you regret this!"

After speaking, he blocked the door and left.

In another room, Su Ying stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Qian Ke'er leave in a disheveled state, and a sense of unease rose in her heart.

Now things are really messed up. Qian Ke'er, who already hated her, will probably be dreaming of killing her now.

It's all Xiao Shen's fault!
The man's tall and imposing figure was reflected in the glass.

Su Ying closed her eyes helplessly. "Xiao Shen, have you had enough fun?"

The man pressed against her from behind, his strong arms pulling her into his embrace. Through her thin shirt, she could clearly feel the muscle lines on his arms.

The air was filled with the man's scent, familiar and captivating.

It was as if a bloodline suppression was in effect, leaving Su Ying momentarily at a loss for how to react.

"I was clearly serious, where were you playing around? Hmm?" The man looked up, meeting the woman's reflection in the glass. "Every woman in Ningcheng wants to marry me, don't you want to?"

"Sorry, I'm not from Ningcheng!" Su Ying tried to move, but couldn't break free. Those two arms were like powerful shackles, binding her tightly.

"Su Ying, how about we play for real?"

The man's lips were right next to my ear, his breath sweet and fragrant, carrying an irresistible allure.

Su Ying's breath hitched. For a moment, she thought she had misheard and was hallucinating.

Also!

He is Xiao Shen, invulnerable to swords and spears, and impervious to both men and women.

Su Ying shook her head, forcing herself to clear her mind.

"What is Fourth Master saying? I don't understand!"

Her shoulders were turned around, and Xiao Shen gently brushed her hair behind her shoulders. When he was so engrossed in his work, he looked like a romantic hero, making it hard to tell if he was being genuine or not.

It's not that I'm afraid the male lead is handsome, it's that I'm afraid he's both handsome and gentle. Just like now, Su Ying has fallen for him in an instant.

"Follow me. Only I can give you everything you want, hmm?"

Su Ying was shocked by the man's bluntness.

He wasn't bragging or being arrogant; he truly meant what he said. Everyone wanted to be the fourth wife of the Xiao family, but there could only be one fourth wife.

Meeting the man's gaze, Su Ying awkwardly looked away. "This question is not funny at all. Besides, we've already drawn a line. I have my life, and Fourth Master has his life. Does Fourth Master like to go back to his exes?"

Xiao Shen lifted her chin, making her look up at him in submission. "So, you're unwilling?"

"No, it's because I'm not good enough for Fourth Master!"

"Whether I'm worthy or not is up to me!" Su Ying couldn't figure out this man and didn't dare to continue being stubborn, so she could only change the subject. "I'm honored that Fourth Master thinks highly of me, but you and the Qian family just had a falling out. If I were to take over like this, I would be cursed by everyone. Please give me some time to consider!"

Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow, very easygoing, "It's alright!"

"Thank you for your understanding, Fourth Master. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now!" Su Ying said goodbye with a bright smile.

Xiao Shen smiled without saying a word, his eyes innocent.

Su Ying walked around him and left quickly, pulling on the door a few times, only to find it wouldn't open.

She turned around, smiled, and pointed to the door. "Fourth Master, would you please have your men open the door?"

Xiao Shen crossed his arms and leaned against the low table, his long legs still incredibly eye-catching. "Can I say you can leave now?"

Su Ying: “…”

You're playing this, right?
"But didn't we already make things clear?"

Xiao Shen nodded, "It's been explained clearly, but you haven't thought it through yet. Let's wait until you've thought it through before we talk again!" "No, Fourth Master, hey, why are you leaving? Fourth Master, wait a minute..."

Xiao Shen left without looking back, and the door was tightly shut again.

Su Ying died speechlessly.

After all that, it turns out he'd been tricked by that bastard Xiao Shen; he had no intention of resolving things calmly at all.

This is imprisonment, this is restricting personal freedom, this is illegal, it's outrageous!
Meanwhile, in Haicheng.

Su Wen received a message from Xiao Shen saying that Su Ying was with him. This was both a warning and a way to ensure her safety, at least to let him know that Su Ying was alright.

Su Wen rolled up his sleeves, about to go to Ningcheng to ask Xiao Shen for the person, but after taking a few steps, he turned back.

It's not that he's a coward or a coward, but rather that he's all alone; how could he possibly fight against someone's strength? He might end up getting himself killed instead of rescuing Su Ying.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Good morning!" Shen Qingfeng said with a smile.

Su Wen was taken aback. "Dr. Shen?"

"Is Su Ying here? I need to talk to her about work!" Shen Qingfeng peered inside.

Su Wen subtly blocked his view, "She, she's still sleeping. Dr. Shen, why don't you go back first? I'll have her contact you later!"

"But why is the bedroom door open?"

Seeing that Shen Qingfeng was about to go inside to look for someone, Su Wen quickly stopped him, "No, she's really not here, why don't you go back first!"

Shen Qingfeng stared intently at Su Wen's face, his expression unfathomable. "You just said she was sleeping, but now you say she's not here. Su Wen, what's wrong? Did something happen to Su Ying?"

Su Wen sighed. "Fine, I won't lie to you! To tell you the truth, Su Ying was taken away by that guy Xiao Shen, and we still haven't heard from her!"

"Xiao Shen, the Fourth Master of Ningcheng?"

Su Wen nodded, "It's him!"

"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Shen Qingfeng turn to leave, Su Wen hurriedly stopped him.

"Go to Haicheng and bring Su Ying back!" Shen Qingfeng said firmly.

Su Wen touched the tip of his nose. "I understand how you feel, but you forgot, I'm also her brother. How could I not be more anxious than you? But what's the use of going? That's Xiao Shen, a man who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his finger. Can you fight against him?"

"But……"

"I know you like Sakura, but you really don't need to rush. Xiao Shen likes Sakura, and I think he probably won't do anything to her for the time being. On the contrary, your appearance is more likely to provoke him. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
