Mr. and Mrs. An instantly hesitated.
He was right. It would be hard for her to get married if the situation really got out of hand. More importantly, if it became big news, their daughterâs reputation would be ruined for good.
Nian Juntig pointed at the water and said calmly, âLook, he only dunked her head underwater a few seconds, then he pulled her out and let her breathe. Heâs doing it again. Sheâs not going to die.â
In the water, An Ning was too weak to scream. She was cold and scared. She felt as if she was going to drown any second. She had regrets. Why did she ever start this whole thing?
She didnât dare tell him the truth, because she worried he might beat her even harder if she did.
The sound of Mo Liuxiâs bone-piercing cold voice was in her ear, like the voice of the devil. âI warned you last time, but you wouldnât listen. You offended me again. You ran away after doing something bad. You shouldnât have come back. But you showed up in front of me with your parents. Why? Did you think I wouldnât do anything to you in front of them?â
He dunked her again, only this time he didnât pull her out until An Ning nearly passed out.
He took a deep breath, then dragged her out of the water, threw her into Mr. Anâs arms. âDad... Dad...â An Ning murmured.
âMr. An, see? I told you he knows what heâs doing. Sheâs alive, right?â said Nian Junting with a gentle voice.
âYou... Nian Junting...â Mr. An was so angry that he almost cried.
âDonât ever come near me again,â Mo Liuxi interrupted him coldly, âDonât ever let me see this woman, or Iâll put her into the water again. Also, youâd better hope she didnât do anything crazy that I donât know about yet. If she did, Iâll make her wish she was dead. And...â
He took out two photos from his pocket, threw them at Mr. An, then continued, âYour daughter took these. As a woman, sheâs shameless enough to show them around. If I get pissed off, I might post these photos online. I have copies. Teach your daughter how to be a good person. At least, you should let her know what the word âshameâ means.â
Mo Liuxi finished his speech with a frosty voice, then picked up his bag and left.
âMr. An, he is young and reckless, so I strongly urge you not to go near him again. Luckily, Iâm here today. Otherwise, he might have hurt you and your wife too. That would be troublesome,â said Nian Junting apologetically, âIf you still arenât willing to let this go, donât hesitate to take legal action. If you donât know how ask An Lan.â After saying that, he turned and left.
After he returned to the villa with Luosangâs books, Luosang glared at him. Holding her son, she said, âWhat time is it? What took you so long? All you needed to do was get my books. Did you come home late on purpose? Is it because you donât want to take care of our son?â
âAm I that kind of man?â Nian Junting snorted. Then he said, âI ran into your brother on my way home. I found out that...Your brotherâs even bolder than I am.â
âWhat happened?â Luosang was confused.
âLuo, I think I need to be really nice to you, or your brother might want to kill me,â Nian Junting stroked her hair gently and said, âIâm stronger than he is, but Iâd definitely lose if he ever decided to have it out with me.â
Luosang was still confused.
âI admire him, though,â Nian Junting said, then went upstairs. Luosang spent a short while trying to figure out what happened, then suddenly realized that he still hadnât helped her hold her son. He escaped again. How awful!
