Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It

Chapter 420 - 419: Retribution

Sika hit the nail on the head. "That man is quite handsome, and he and Susu look good together, but the way he looks at her is terrifying. If Susu wanted to dump him, it probably wouldn’t be that easy."

Liu Yun was completely in awe. "You’ve only been abroad for less than two months. How have you already developed the sharp eyes of a love expert? Everything you say sounds so convincing."

"Yeah," Tang Feifei, who had been secretly listening to their conversation, couldn’t help but chime in, "Sika, just how many guys did you date while you were abroad?"

......

Xu Su walked out of the private room. As she stood in the long hallway, about to speak, Shen Chen shushed her. He reached out, grabbed her wrist, and started pulling her forward. "This isn’t the place to talk. You don’t want to become a spectacle, do you?"

"..." Xu Su twisted her wrist. "I can walk on my own. Stop being so handsy all the time."

Shen Chen didn’t let go. He held the girl beside him firmly, not allowing her to break free.

’He’s never been this domineering!’

’Is it because he’s already revealed his feelings, so he’s decided to just go all out?’

’Or is he starting to lose it because he couldn’t find me for a whole day?’

Xu Su was incredibly annoyed. ’Why is every single one of them so difficult!’

’Zhou Mochen, Xi Zirong, and now Shen Chen too!’

’Can’t there be just one normal person?’

’Am I cursed to attract psychos?’

Shen Chen seemed very familiar with the hotel. He pulled Xu Su through a long corridor, made several turns, and then entered a room.

Even though it was daytime, the room was pitch-black, the curtains drawn tight.

The moment Xu Su entered, Shen Chen pushed her against the wall, pinning her there. He pressed his entire body against hers, like a long-suppressed volcano about to erupt. Clamping his hand on her waist to stop her struggles, he tried his best to control himself, but his voice was still laced with a scorching heat:

"First, to answer your question, this place is one of my properties. As I’ve said, the Shen Family’s food and beverage service industry is doing pretty well."

"Let me go, Shen Chen! Let go of me now!" Xu Su had no interest in hearing about his business. She struggled wildly, resisting his closeness, but he quickly pinned both her hands above her head and clamped his arm tightly around her waist.

With their bodies pressed so close, even her slightest struggle was enough to make her feel him stirring below the waist.

In the darkness, a wave of panic washed over her.

Goosebumps erupted all over her skin. Xu Su instantly froze, not daring to move another inch.

"That’s a good girl. Stay just like that, don’t move. My self-control really is terrible around you," Shen Chen buried his face in Xu Su’s neck. He couldn’t help but praise her for finally stopping her squirming, then he asked, "Do you still think I have a... performance issue?"

"..." He’d remembered her words for this long; it was clear how much her misunderstanding had been bothering him.

Xu Su tried hard to turn her head away, attempting to avoid the hot breath on her neck. "Shen Chen, don’t be like this. Let me go. Didn’t you want to talk? Let’s just talk properly."

"No, I can’t let go." Shen Chen kissed and licked Xu Su’s earlobe while suppressing her intermittent struggles. He was like a completely different person from the good-tempered, almost completely compliant man he had been before.

Xu Su tried everything from pleading softly to speaking harshly, but the man in the darkness was completely impervious.

After kissing her earlobe until it was so red it looked as if it might bleed, Shen Chen pressed his lips against it, savoring her warmth. Only then did his heart, which had been in a panic for a day and a night, gradually begin to calm down.

He said, "The day before yesterday in my office, I knew you were awake, Xu Su. I intentionally let you know that I like you. I fucking can’t take it anymore, understand?"

The voice by her ear was low and hoarse. Xu Su was on the verge of going crazy herself. She couldn’t register anything he was saying; her ear had gone numb, burning hot.

’And... his body pressed tightly against hers... below the waist, the stirring hadn’t stopped for a moment. I never would have dreamed that when he lost it, he could be *this* unhinged!’

But Shen Chen was still rambling on. He had considered that she might avoid him because of it, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so fast, without even a buffer period—she just went completely incommunicado for a whole day.

The panic he felt when Xu Su disappeared made Zhou Mochen’s furious reaction seem trivial in comparison.

’I’m the one coveting my brother’s girlfriend. I’m in the wrong. I’ll accept any beating or cursing, and I absolutely won’t fight back. I’d even let Brother Zhou take it all out on me. All I want is a chance to compete fairly.’

’If I were her boyfriend, who would dare to even think about her...’

Shen Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. In the darkness, he accurately found Xu Su’s lips and kissed her.

The kiss was fervent and impatient, like that of a starved madman.

’I’m going to lose my mind!’

’How did things get to this point?!’

’What happened to just talking?’

’Is this talking?!’

’If I had known, I would have stayed put in that room no matter what, let him spout all the bullshit he wanted. I never would have come out with him!’

She was finally learning firsthand the sheer difference in strength between a man and a woman.

Until the hem of her ankle-length dress was lifted...

Feeling the man’s hand slide up her thigh... Xu Su’s eyes flew wide open.

"Shen Chen!" Xu Su turned her head to avoid his lips and shouted, "Calm down!"

The hand on her leg paused for a heartbeat, then continued without hesitation. His fingertips seemed to feel something...

A low chuckle sounded by her ear. "Susu, is your body telling a different story?"

"Shut up!"

’I despise myself, but I despise his flirtatious techniques even more!’

’Skills he must have practiced on countless women, and now he was using them on me. How disgusting!’

The corners of Xu Su’s eyes were flushed red and glistening with unshed tears, though it was hard to see clearly in the dark. Shen Chen had no idea that her disgust for him had reached such a level; he was merely overjoyed, thinking that he wasn’t the only one who was aroused.

His movements became even more urgent. He gripped Xu Su’s thigh, trying to coax her to open up a little, but was only met with her cry of pain.

Her cry of pain didn’t sound fake. Shen Chen froze when he heard it, remembering her reaction when he had grabbed her arm earlier.

"Are you injured?" Shen Chen paused, released his hold on Xu Su, and flipped a switch on the wall.

The instant the lights came on, Xu Su, her hands now free, slapped him twice across the face.

"Bastard!" she roared. "Shen Chen, how fucking disgusting can you be? Who am I? Take a good look at who I am! What do you think you’re doing?"

"I’m Zhou Mochen’s girlfriend, not some lover you bought with money! What do you take me for? What do you take yourself for?"

Shen Chen remained with his head turned from the force of the slaps, silently listening to her finish her tirade. Only then did he turn his face back to look at her. "If you weren’t Brother Zhou’s girlfriend, I guarantee we’d have kids by now."

His voice was calm, but it shocked Xu Su so much her pupils abruptly dilated. "Do you have any idea what you’re saying?"

"What do I take you for?" Shen Chen completely ignored her shock as he answered her previous question. He said slowly, "I see you as my reckoning for a life spent playing games. The moment I found myself uncontrollably running to Chang City again and again just to see you, I knew my reckoning had come."
