Chapter 175: Chapter 169: Lamb to the Slaughter
Cheng Shishi and Lou Jing were unsettled at the sight of Yin Tianshen. Both had conflicts with him to varying degrees, and for Lou Jing, itâs beyond words. Cheng Shishi still remembered vividly how on her birthday, Yin Tianshen had his men capture her to threaten Bai Yiran. She couldnât understand why on this particular day, Yin Tianshen appeared here.
"Why are you here?" Bai Yiranâs tone was not friendly.
Yin Tianshen didnât mind; he was used to Bai Yiranâs tone towards him. "To discharge you from the hospital."
But it was undeniable that Yin Tianshenâs arrival indeed resolved the stalemate between her grandmother and uncle. When she got into Yin Tianshenâs car under everyoneâs watchful eyes, perhaps she didnât realize every move of hers was being watched by two parties.
Yin Tianshen drove as fast as ever. In the past, Bai Yiran was merely frightened, but now she was more worried, her hand instinctively protecting her stomach.
"Can you drive a little slower?"
Bai Yiran originally thought this comment would once again fall on Yin Tianshenâs deaf ears, but unexpectedly, he gradually slowed down.
"Thank you." Bai Yiran said thanks lightly and fell silent afterward.
Yin Tianshen glanced at Bai Yiran out of the corner of his eye. She turned her face to one side, quietly gazing out the window, leaving him with only a side view, not even caught by her eyes. That was her first sentence since they got in the car.
For some unbeknownst reason, a surge of fire suddenly rose within Yin Tianshen, making him restless and irritable.
With a swift turn of the wheel, he quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road. Due to the sudden brake, Bai Yiran was unprepared and lurched forward. Fortunately, she was wearing a seatbelt; otherwise, it would have been truly dangerous.
Bai Yiran, covering her belly in fear, glared at Yin Tianshen with a look of terror and anger, "Yin Tianshen, what are you doing!"
He looked at Bai Yiran, this woman never showing him a good face, from initial fear to now apathetic disdain, none of it was what he wanted.
"Bai Yiran? We havenât seen each other for about a month, and this is the first thing you say to me?"
Yin Tianshenâs voice was icy. This was the first time he regarded a woman seriously, the first time he wanted a woman to smile just for him, the first time he felt a strong desire for a woman.
Despite the fact that aside from being pretty, this woman seemed to have no virtues, with a weak character, stubborn, unable to distinguish right from wrong, oblivious to human affairs, low emotional intelligence, not smart...
Really, aside from being pretty, she had no other virtues.
But what could be done? Yin Tianshen questioned himselfâliking her was liking her. What could be done?
Hearing Yin Tianshenâs words, Bai Yiran was stunned, "What first sentence? Clearly, itâs the third one!"
Yin Tianshen laughed angrily at Bai Yiranâs words; why did she have to bicker with him over even trivial details?
Her slightly furrowed brows, eyes full of blame, pink lipsâYin Tianshen couldnât help recalling the scene when he first encountered Bai Yiran in Golden City. She rushed in to save her friend without regard for herself, barging into his view.
That day, he kissed her, pressing her down on the sofa and fiercely nibbling on her pink lips.
Yin Tianshen was lost in his reminiscence, his throat involuntarily moving.
The atmosphere in the car turned subtle. Bai Yiran sensed Yin Tianshenâs abnormality, a feeling that made her uneasy. She reached for the car door, only to find it had long been locked.
"Yin Tianshen, what do you want to do?"
Only now did Bai Yiran realize how foolish she was. Clearly knowing Yin Tianshen was a wolf, she still thought the wolf could be tamed, forgetting that a wolfâs wild nature could never be eradicated.
And now, she had become a lamb willingly stepping into the wolfâs den to be slaughtered.
