Chapter 157 It's Too Late for This Love

was the first to spot Shen Xiu Jin, his aged yet sharp gaze falling upon the person in Shen Xiu Jin's arms. His eyes flickered, a fleeting glint passing through them."Hmm." Shen Xiujin responded fain...He dragged her out of the office building, dragging her toward the car as they sped away.

"Let go, let go! You're hurting me!" The woman clutched her lower back with one hand, while the other struggled against the man's iron grip.

The man ignored her and shoved her roughly into the backseat. He got in himself, and Shen Er immediately understood, running up to get into the driver's seat.

A partition rose between the front and rear seats, “whooshing” as it ascended with mechanical whirring. The sound sent a jolt of panic through Jian Tong’s heart.

She didn't know where she got the strength, or if it was already on the car, but Shen Xiuqin relaxed his control over her. She panicked and scrambled onto the rising partition: "Shen Er, Shen Er, you lower the partition, what are you doing raising the partition, please lower it..."

Shen Er's face was full of embarrassment. He turned his head to glance at the woman whose pupils were constricted with tension. Her face was deathly pale, making everyone feel soft-hearted. But… Shen Er gritted his teeth and carefully glanced at the man in the back seat, who exuded a dark aura: "Ahem... Ms. Jian, I can't make this decision." What he meant was: You've gone to the wrong person.

"Ms. Jian, please sit down quickly, the partition will pinch..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Er was pulled back by a hand. Seconds later, the partition completely separated the front and rear seats.

Jian Tong shivered, her heart pounding with anticipation and a hint of fear about what lay ahead.

I am truly terrified, utterly afraid of him.

"Why did you get a new ID without telling me" The deep voice echoed softly in the quiet car, sounding melodious and pleasant, but to Jian Tong's ears, it was like being questioned by the devil himself.

One careless mistake, and you'll give the wrong answer.

"I... I don't have an ID card, it's very inconvenient. Mr. Shen also knows that I need my ID card for many things now." She didn't need anyone to tell her, she herself knew how clumsy her lies were.

Cold sweat gradually beaded on his forehead, so nervous he forgot everything.

"I want to hear the truth."

"Truth, truth... This is the truth..." She was so nervous she almost bit her tongue. Even at this moment, she was still trying to cover up the past.

"One." A cold voice, once again echoed.

Jian Tong suddenly raised her head, looking at the handsome man in front of her in disbelief.

Her lips were pale and moved slightly: "I didn't lie to you..."

"Two."

"It's true..."

The next moment, her voice trying to defend herself, came to an abrupt halt!

She saw in his face, a piercingly cold gaze that fixed directly on her own.

"I really..."

A frigid voice cut through her stammering excuses: "Try saying 'really' again." His obsidian eyes held a frost-like chill: "This is your last chance, Jane."

Under this cold gaze, she has nowhere to escape!

But, why was he looking at her with that "you did something wrong" look

Did she do something wrong

What did she do wrong

"All I want is to get my ID card back." In the silence, she spoke softly, her rough voice also effectively concealing the sob in it. She lowered her head, closed her eyes, pushing back the sourness in her eyes and the bitterness in her mouth...Shen Xiujing, all I want is to get my ID card back, a proof that I'm still alive in this world."

Have you ever experienced it

When the whole world, only an ID card can prove who you are, how pathetic But when this only thing that can prove who you are card is not with you, it's not pathetic, but a lack of security.

Yes, she admitted that she got her ID card replaced for a reason.

But this is her ID card!

...Fundamental rights that all citizens of the world should have...That's all she wants!

Are you greedy

Have I done something wrong

Suddenly, a force yanked her forward, crashing into the man's arms. The next second, a dull pain shot through her jaw as she was forced to tilt her head back. Before she could react, a shadow loomed over her, and a burning sensation on her lips served as a reminder of what was happening.

"Ugh!"

Struggle, futile.

Resistance, futile.

Tearing, being held fast by the iron pliers.

Then open your mouth and bite down hard, let him taste the pain of his tongue being torn apart.

But he felt no pain; her jaw, however, gave a sickening "crack" as bone met bone. The pain that shot through her chin was almost as bad as the wound in her lower back!

... gasp ... gasp ... gasp ... She panted, big breaths in and out. The pain was excruciating, searing through her bones, every muscle aching. She stared with wide eyes, witnessing this man's intense gaze as his lips pressed against hers. A chill crept into her chest, freezing the blood in her veins. How could he do this

Kissing her with such passion, while she was slowly lowering her chin

That beautiful face, with tightly closed narrow phoenix eyes and jet-black sword eyebrows gently furrowed... kissing her so intently... Jian Tong just stared with wide open eyes at the face before her, focused on kissing her, two shimmering lines slowly sliding down from the corners of her eyes.

Besides, this man has always been domineering and never accepted rejection... How could she have forgotten this ironclad fact

Little Timmy, you are so foolish.

Well, that's enough suffering for now.

But how could he be hurting her while kissing her with such focus

How did he do that!

With her jaw dislocated, she became more like a doll, completely at his mercy.

Moist and hot lips pressed together, turning and twisting, but the chin couldn't hold back the saliva, dripping down her mouth... where is the kiss of deep love

This is pure torture for the body and mind!

Tears slid into her mouth, she tasted the saltiness of tears, she tasted, he tasted it too, but this man, didn't show any signs of stopping.

She closed her eyes, refusing to shed another tear... Once again, after three years apart, this man had taught her all over again — to him, her tears were worthless!

This kiss, to Jian Tong, was a torment of body and mind.

For Shen Xiujin, wasn't it always a grinding of the soul

The moment he learned she was getting her ID card renewed, he went crazy!

While hiding this from him, what does she want to do with her new ID card

The purpose is self-evident!

But... it's too late, everything is too late!

I'm sorry, Jian Tong, I... fell in love with you.

I'm sorry... I can no longer give you freedom.

I'm sorry... I hurt you, but if hurting you makes you remember this pain, if fear can make you afraid to even think about leaving my side, then be afraid of me... I'm sorry, it's too late, everything is too late, I can't let go!

When the car came to a steady stop, he pushed her chin up again with his hand, "click," another sound. His technique was skillful, but for Jian Tong, she no longer wanted to endure this second pain.

"Shh... don't speak, it hurts." A soft voice whispered in her ear, "As long as you're good and stop thinking about running away. Jian Tong... haven't you always wanted to marry me As long as you're obedient, I'll spend my whole life with you, alright"

A cold wind blew through, and the woman in the man's arms shivered, goosebumps appearing on her exposed neck.

Deep in her clear eyes, a profound fear welled up... She bit down hard on that pale lower lip just in time, suppressing the scream of terror that almost escaped her throat.

But she couldn't control the chill rising from within her, trembling in fear like chaff in the man's arms!

On that day, when Shen Xiuqin discovered that she wanted to run away, he finally realized that he had completely fallen in love with the woman in his arms. He realized that he could no longer leave or let go... This man, who was clumsy about feelings, like a kindergarten child, used the most foolish and wrong way to keep the woman in his arms. He was destined to endure heart-wrenching pain in the future.lanning to leave this city. Ever since I saw him again at Donghuang, I haven't dared to love him anymore. All I think about is repaying my debt.” She chuckled lightly, not prepared to tell Sumeng anyt...
