Summer Kiss

Chapter 51 She wasn't in pain, but he felt sorry for her.
...

In the dimly lit space, Jiang Yuning closed her eyes and didn't say a word. After a while, she couldn't hold on any longer; her patience had reached its limit.

She raised her hand and slapped Jiang Yuning across the face.

"Jiang Yuning, would it kill you to soften your stance and say something conciliatory? As long as you testify that you wronged Gu Yan, I'll let you out right now."

Jiang Yuning simply wouldn't budge; no one could force her to do something she didn't want to do.

"Miss Shi, I won't give you false testimony, so give up on that idea!"

She didn't want to waste time with her like this. If someone found out she was missing, the police would find this place soon, and she had to finish quickly.

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

Soon, a shifty-eyed man walked in. As soon as he entered, he bowed and scraped to Shi Jiu, "Miss Shi, what are your orders?"

Shi Jiu planned to teach Jiang Yuning a lesson, but she wouldn't budge, and this dragging on wasn't a solution.

She thought for a moment, "Strip her naked, and let's see if she'll still be so stubborn."

Jiang Yuning couldn't believe her ears; she never expected Shi Jiu to do something like this for Gu Yan.

She exclaimed in surprise, "Shi Jiu, you've gone mad."

Shi Jiu screamed hysterically, "I really have gone crazy. You drove me crazy, Jiang Yuning. You forced me to do all this."

Jiang Yuning tried to calm herself down. She was actually very flustered, but she didn't dare to show it.

"You dare touch me? Try it! Do you want to spend your next life in a dark, endless prison?"

Shi Jiu laughed sarcastically, "My dad has plenty of money, and he's on good terms with the police chief. Even if I get arrested by the police today, they'll release me by tomorrow at the latest."

Jiang Yuning kept stalling for time. She desperately hoped that someone would realize she was missing and then report her missing to the police.

But so much time has passed and no one has come to rescue her. Is she really going to be trapped here?

At this moment, for some reason, Jiang Yuning thought of Fu Xicheng.

She really wanted Fu Xicheng to appear here.

Seeing that Jiang Yuning was still stubborn, she urged, "I'll leave this place to you. I'll wait for you outside."

The man rubbed his hands together, revealing a lecherous look in his eyes, and walked step by step toward Jiang Yuning.

His hand touched her clothes.

Jiang Yuning's heart raced, and she panicked. She closed her eyes, hoping for a miracle.

Suddenly, a painful cry rang in her ears. Jiang Yuning looked up and saw a man dressed in black kicking the man in front of her to the ground.

Who is that man?

She didn't know him.

Soon, the man in black came to Jiang Yuning's side and untied her ropes.

Wen Shu stepped on the shifty-eyed man, exuding an aura of unapproachability. "Miss Jiang, Mr. Fu will be here soon."

Is Mr. Fu Fu Xicheng?

Was this man in front of her sent by Fu Xicheng to rescue her?
Regardless, she wanted to thank the man for saving her. "Thank you."

Wen Shu remained indifferent, not even glancing at Jiang Yuning, and offered no response whatsoever.

Jiang Yuning didn't take it to heart. She stretched her wrists and followed Wen Shu out of the warehouse. The sunlight outside was a bit dazzling, and she squinted to adjust to the strong light.

Jiang Yuning observed her surroundings; the outside world was desolate. She followed the man through an abandoned factory.

Just then, a black sedan sped towards them from afar. It drifted, then made a 360-degree turn, and came to a smooth stop in front of Jiang Yuning.

Fu Xicheng got out of the car, his eyes filled with worry. Seeing that Jiang Yuning was alright, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Shu remained as cold and aloof as ever. He bowed slightly and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Fu."

Fu Xicheng nodded to him, then walked over to Jiang Yuning and carefully looked her up and down.

Suddenly, he frowned, carefully lifted Jiang Yuning's wrist, and asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice, "Does it hurt?"

Jiang Yuning felt the warmth of his hand and shook her head. "Fu Xicheng, I'm fine. My wrist is just red from being tied by the rope."

She wasn't in pain, but he felt sorry for her.

Fu Xicheng felt very guilty; his girlfriend had been injured right under his nose, and he had failed to protect her.

He took her hand and led her to the car.

Fu Xicheng opened the trunk, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, soaked a clean towel, and then applied it as a cold compress to Jiang Yuning's cheek.

His voice was gentle, "Don't move."

Jiang Yuning felt a cool sensation on her cheek. When she saw Fu Xicheng's serious expression, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning had a strange thought: she wanted to hug the man in front of her.

The next moment, she reached out and, under the man's surprised gaze, hugged his waist tightly.

Fu Xicheng was stunned. He remained still, letting Jiang Yuning hug him.

Jiang Yuning felt the intense warmth emanating from Fu Xicheng, and her heart trembled. She loved the feeling of hugging him, and she realized that she seemed to have fallen in love with him without even realizing it.

"Fu Xicheng".

Jiang Yuning called his name softly, then looked up at him and asked, "How did you find me?"

“Lu Zhiqian told me that the client called and gave your director a good scolding, saying that you were not punctual and did not sign the contract on time...that’s when he realized that you were in trouble.”

Jiang Yuning looked miserable and said sullenly, "It's over, the client I finally found is gone again."

Fu Xicheng was amused by her words. He lifted her chin, looked her profile from side to side, and then put the towel back on her face.

"You've been kidnapped and you're still thinking about your clients? Jiang Yuning, I really don't know what to do with you."

Jiang Yuning sighed and placed her hand on the back of Fu Xicheng's hand. "I can hold the towel myself."

Fu Xicheng released his hand, tapped Jiang Yuning's nose, and said with a hint of amusement, "You really don't know how to enjoy life. Your boyfriend is being so attentive to you, and you still refuse."

Jiang Yuning blinked. It seemed nice to have a boyfriend who cared about her when she needed help.

She said, "Fu Xicheng, I'm not Xiao Jiaojiao anymore. I'm fine now."

Fu Xicheng just stared at her. He bent down and got into the passenger seat, taking out a bottle of ointment from the side drawer.

Jiang Yuning was surprised, "How come your car has all sorts of things? It's like a treasure chest."

Fu Xicheng carefully applied ointment to her wrist, his voice incredibly gentle, "After getting a girlfriend, I need to prepare everything I need, just in case."

"Jiang Yuning, in my eyes you can be my little darling. Before, you had to bear your own joys and sorrows, but now that you have me, I want to taste all the sweetness and bitterness of life with you."
