Liang Feifan picked up the coffee brought by the maid, took a sip, put it down, smiled at Gu Mingzhu, and idly fiddled with his belt. "I'm happy."
"Do you want to force Gu Yan to never marry you in this lifetime?" Gu Mingzhu was clearly powerless against Liang Feifan's shamelessness, so she had no choice but to go straight for the center of the matter, even though she knew that this might anger him.
"Did I say I still want to marry her?" Liang Feifan casually dropped a bombshell. Looking at the surprise on Gu Mingzhu's face, he felt a surge of pleasure. So this is what it's like to torment people—it's so enjoyable! No wonder, no wonder these people have been tormenting him one after another.
“I like her, I want her to stay by my side, and now I’ve done it. I, Liang Feifan, have plenty of ways to keep her for life, why should I let you ungrateful bastards point fingers at me?” He picked up his knife and fork and elegantly began to eat his breakfast, then politely gestured to Gu Mingzhu if she wanted some too.
Gu Mingzhu's face turned pale. She grabbed her bag, stood up, and started to walk out without saying a word.
"Go up and try to persuade Gu Yan," Liang Feifan called out to her. "After all, if she still refuses to eat today, I'll have no choice but to make all of you go hungry with her."
Gu Mingzhu stopped, stood with her back to him for a moment, and silently went upstairs. Liang Feifan's eyes grew even colder and sharper. It seemed Liang Feifan was meant to be this way. All that tolerance and accommodation was truly the most useless thing.
In the master bedroom, Gu Yan was sitting on the floor in a daze when she saw her sister come in and immediately burst into tears. Gu Mingzhu walked over and sat on the floor next to her. Gu Yan nestled in her arms and sobbed on her knees.
Gu Mingzhu ran her fingers through Gu Yan's hair, gently massaging her scalp with her fingertips, while patting her back lightly with her other hand. After a while, Gu Yan stopped crying and gradually calmed down with Gu Mingzhu's gentle touch.
"What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you." Gu Mingzhu smiled and patted her sister's cheek. Gu Yan didn't speak, but tears welled up again and slid down her cheeks.
“Now that things have come to this, no one has the right to tell you what to do or not to do. Gu Yan, just listen to your heart, okay?” Gu Mingzhu lowered her head and hugged her sister, speaking softly.
Gu Yan hugged her arm and nodded silently.
“None of us are God, and none of us know the best way to handle this situation. I used to think you were stupid and didn't know what was good for you, and I thought Liang Feifan was a fool. I thought you were all troubled by love and had limited intelligence, but in fact, I am also caught up in this situation. How can I truly see through other people's hearts and my own?”
"Gu Yan, if it weren't for Liang Feifan's words, I would also think I was God. Hehe."
"So now, you're standing on equal footing with everyone else, making your own decision. Like... an adult. I promise, even if I disagree, I will absolutely support you."
Gu Mingzhu told her in detail all the things she had thought about over the past two days, and the two chatted in the room for a long time.
Later that evening, Gu Mingzhu went out and came back, bought groceries, and cooked at the Liang residence herself. When Liang Feifan returned that night, the two sisters were already sitting in the dining room, waiting for him to start the meal.
Seeing that Gu Yan was willing to come downstairs for dinner, Liang Feifan sat down without even changing his clothes. Gu Mingzhu glanced at him and smiled faintly, "Let's eat."
"Let's eat," Gu Yan said softly, picking up her bowl and chopsticks.
Liang Feifan smiled and said, "Let's eat."
It was past ten o'clock when Liang Feifan returned to his room after finishing his business. He looked around and found her slumped in a chair on the balcony. It was a very cool night, and she was wearing only a robe over her pajamas. He didn't know how long she had been sitting there, but her body was cold and radiating chill.
Liang Feifan's anger flared up instantly. Without a word, he picked her up and carried her into the house, tucking her into the bed. He held the blankets in his arms to keep her warm.
"Is the whole city under martial law today?" Gu Yan's voice was hoarse and flat, revealing no emotion.
Liang Feifan rubbed his chin against her head and hummed in agreement.
“You should have taken me to see it,” Gu Yan rolled over, resting her head on his arm and wrapping her arms around his waist, snuggling into his embrace as she always did when they were intimate. “The Italian Mafia and the Korean underworld are coming in droves. It’s such a big event. It would be such a shame to miss it.”
Liang Feifan tightened his embrace around the person who had snuggled up to him. He listened to her speak casually, as if it were none of his business, and felt a mix of emotions.
"Fang Yicheng was just promoted to general, right? This time it's his turn to handle things. You're so thorough, you must have set a trap for him?"
"What will happen to him? Removal from his post? Are you going to kick him out of City C or out of politics? What about Hongji and Hongye? Will you bring them under the Liang family's control or destroy them completely?"
“I haven’t decided yet,” Liang Feifan replied leisurely, his eyes gleaming faintly in the night. “Jason has been trying to use City C for more than a year or two. I’ve been blocking him all along, out of respect for certain people in the authorities. Now, I think it’s time to put some pressure on them. Some things are like people; when things are peaceful for too long, people take them for granted. So I’ll let them experience what it feels like when the sky above their heads collapses.”
"Hehe," Gu Yan laughed lightly, her breath tickling Liang Feifan's neck and cooling him right to his heart.
Liang Feifan suddenly sat up, trapping her beneath him, and looked deeply into her eyes. "What's wrong with you?" Something was wrong with her, very wrong. He felt sorry for her when she threw a tantrum and refused to eat. But this Gu Yan terrified him.
"Nothing much." Gu Yan reached out and touched his face, her index finger stroking his chin. "Feifan, you always say I'm willful. Look at yourself now, you're just a child throwing a tantrum."
“I was immature before, now it’s you.” Her eyelashes fluttered, and there was a smile in her eyes that Liang Feifan couldn’t understand.
"I feel so sorry, it seems like we always miss the moment when we're both mature enough." She murmured the last sentence as if talking to herself. After she finished speaking, she looked up at him, but his eyes were still uneasy. Gu Yan smiled, wrapped her small hands around his neck, pressed down, and kissed his lips.
The fire spread like wildfire.
Liang Feifan was unusually impatient and irritable. He lifted her nightgown, pulled her panties down to her knees, and rushed in. Gu Yan wasn't wet enough, so he only went in a third of the way, causing her to bite her lip in pain.
"Feifan...no!" He kissed her and pulled away. Gu Yan cried out as he moved down, but he still pulled off her panties and threw them on the floor, burying his head inside. He licked her slightly parted petals a few times, his tongue piercing the small pearl in the center, gently licking and then thrusting hard, teasing it between his upper and lower teeth. The petals gradually opened.
As Gu Yan's body slowly softened, he took her two wet lips into his mouth and sucked hard. Gu Yan kicked her legs, becoming even wetter, pressing her body down against him, rubbing against him to give him pleasure. Liang Feifan slid off the bed, grabbed her thighs and pulled her down, then pounced on her again. She gasped and was beneath him again, both of them at the foot of the bed, most of their bodies still on the bed, their legs dangling on the floor. He squeezed between her legs, spreading them wide, rubbing against her a few times, then thrusting his hips to fill her soft interior completely.
He thrust a few times with gusto, then slowly slid down a little, pulling her down as well. With his wrist strength and her own weight, she was deeply penetrated as soon as she sat down. The two of them moved slowly off the bed, and when he finally knelt on the floor, she gripped the sheets tightly with her fingers. Her hot, soft inner walls gripped him rhythmically, her upper body arching upwards as she cried out in pleasure.
Liang Feifan admired her alluring flush, taking her full breasts into his mouth and sucking hard, leaving red marks. His saliva glistened on them, making him even more unable to resist. He pushed her limp body upwards, then pulled her down sharply. He knelt on the floor, pushing and pulling her in and out. The bed creaked rhythmically from the force of the movements. Gu Yan gradually came to her senses, her lower body contracting and biting him. "Yan'er, move yourself..." He grabbed her breasts and kneaded them vigorously, coaxing her to ride him.
Gu Yan braced her elbows on the edge of the bed, using her waist strength and his support to move rapidly up and down on him. The face-to-face position allowed for deep penetration. Despite the bed and his movements, Gu Yan wasn't too tired, and both of them closed their eyes and sighed comfortably. After playing like this for a while, Liang Feifan felt he couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled her down and thrust upwards simultaneously, penetrating her too deeply. Gu Yan screamed and released a hot, climax. Liang Feifan stood up, lifting her legs, and thrust into her from above.
Such intense thrusting was incredibly stimulating. Gu Yan, unable to grasp anything, desperately rubbed the sheets, her calves curling up to rub against his lean waist. Liang Feifan knew her intentions, spreading her legs even wider, making his thrusts even more pleasurable. Gu Yan's back felt like it was about to break; she moaned softly, using her heels to reach for his cervical vertebrae, grinding them downwards, stopping at the small protruding bone above his buttocks and kneading it. Liang Feifan felt a tingling sensation in his spine and a throbbing pain in his lower back, involuntarily letting out a cry. His movements became even wilder, lifting her almost suspended in the air, before a few final, heavy thrusts, and he ejaculated deep inside her.
What exactly is she trying to do?
The nineteenth day of martial law in the city.
An emergency meeting was being held in Chen Yubai's study. Chen Yubai held a cigarette between his long, slender fingers, ash scattering everywhere. He frowned, disgustedly dusted off his clothes, and took another deep drag.
The room was filled with smoke. Li Weiran and Qin Song were sprawled on the sofa in the study, while Rong Yan sat on a low stool to the side, also smoking.
"Sigh," Qin Song sighed deeply, opening his bloodshot eyes, "I'd rather go and do Fang Yicheng all by myself now. What is Big Brother trying to do! Suffering!" He said he wanted to control the speed, to kill with a blunt knife. But with so many people under his command, how could he be so easy to control? Jason was also insatiable, and he and Yan Hui were already exhausted from guarding against him.
Rong Yan sneered, "Even if Fang Yicheng is in a difficult position as the eldest brother, I don't take him seriously. Do you need to go in person?"
“Brother is going to crush him little by little,” Li Weiran said slowly with his eyes closed. “Jason’s men are pouring in on a large scale, and Yan Hui’s cooperation in the local area is flawless. At most, we can hold out for another week before we have to report to the central government. The higher-ups are putting more and more pressure on Fang Yicheng these days, and his generalship is in jeopardy.”
“Hongji’s stock price has collapsed. Hongye won’t last more than a month.” Chen Yubai stubbed out his cigarette. “What I’m worried about is that once Fang Feichi makes a tough decision and accepts Liang’s investment, this huge sum of money will suffocate Liang. We are now at the most dangerous juncture. Fang Feichi may launch a major counterattack after he recovers. If we are not careful, Liang’s various profit indicators will have to regress to at least three years’ level to make up for the loss.”
Chen Yubai adjusted his glasses. "This is definitely not the way to bring down a large enterprise like ZTE. Big Brother has gone mad."
His gaze swept over everyone's faces, chilling them to the bone. "What do you all say?"
Rong Yan exhaled a beautiful smoke ring, his eyes dark and unfathomable.
Li Weiran opened her eyes, hugged her shoulders, tilted her head back, and stared at the ceiling in deep thought.
Qin Song rubbed his eyes and let out a long sigh. "What else can I say! Let's go crazy together!"
The four outstanding men laughed together.
"Okay, together."
Perhaps the Fang family will be completely wiped out, perhaps they will suffer heavy losses in a counterattack, perhaps in the end the outcome is uncertain. But they are brothers.
Chen Yubai opened a window to let in some fresh air and was about to turn on his computer to continue his work when he heard a slight noise from the doorway. Rong Yan and he both jerked their heads up. Li Weiran stood up and gestured for them to speak, and Chen Yubai and Rong Yan immediately resumed their casual conversation.
Li Weiran carefully moved closer to the wall, peeking through the crack in the door. The dark figure there was wearing an apple-green T-shirt, with curly hair hanging over the door, and was foolishly eavesdropping.
Li Weiran smiled, turned around and silently said to Chen Yubai, "Your wife." Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief. In these extraordinary times, even an inconspicuous servant might be someone sent from somewhere else. They couldn't afford to accidentally drag their elder brother down with them.
Chen Yubai's brow unfurrowed, and he lowered his head, giving a muffled smile. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, slowly adjusting his glasses with his index finger. A cold glint flashed behind the lenses, and he raised his voice to Li Weiran, saying, "Actually, if you ask me, the best way is to cut the Gordian knot quickly."
Li Weiran was puzzled. She glanced in the direction of the door and asked hesitantly, "Oh? Tell me about it."
“We’ll secretly send someone to kill Gu Yan. Think about it, once she’s dead, how will our elder brother still have the heart to seek revenge?” Chen Yubai smiled with extreme tenderness.
Rong Yan fiddled with the lighter in his hand, the flame flickering. After thinking for a long time, he laughed loudly and glanced at the door. "I think that's right. I'll find someone quick and efficient, just make sure Big Brother doesn't find out. Actually, what if he does find out? We're brothers, are we really going to turn against each other for a woman? But seriously, without Gu Yan, I'll be living a much better life!"
Qin Song was completely bewildered by the three of them, and jumped up from the sofa in a daze, "Are you guys really crazy? You killed Gu Yan? Why didn't you just shoot Big Brother?"
"Idiot!" Three low shouts accompanied by two slaps came flying in.
An Xiaoli was frantic. She tripped and fell several times while running from the study to the bedroom, her hand trembling as she held the phone. "It's true... Sangsang... you have to think of something right now. I heard it with my own ears... it's not a joke!" She was sweating profusely. "He hasn't let me go out these past few days, and I don't have my brother's phone number. Sangsang, you have to go and talk to him right away!"
Qin Sang reassured Xiao Li with a few words and hung up the phone, still somewhat doubtful. She had learned some of the events of the past few days from Qin Yang: secretly, the Liang family and Hongji Hongye were engaged in a fierce acquisition battle. On the surface, overseas criminal gangs, who had long coveted the direct sea route from City C, were making a large-scale crossing, and the local underworld was actually cooperating from within to clear obstacles for them. Qin Yang told her that Liang Feifan was like a tiger, and Fang Yicheng was equally determined; in the end, it would likely be a lose-lose situation for both sides.
Normally, she would never believe that someone who knew Liang Feifan would dare to mess with Gu Yan. But these were extraordinary times, and Li Weiran had been busy from morning till night, her words laced with murderous intent that had kept her on edge for days. Xiao Li's phone call struck a nerve with her long-held anxieties. Was this really... a purge of corrupt officials?
Qin Sang's first choice was naturally Li Weiran. "What would you like to eat tonight?" she asked softly.
Li Weiran's voice was a little hoarse, "I'm not coming back tonight. Sangsang, whatever you do, don't go out. No matter who calls or says anything, don't believe them. I've sent someone to your place, don't panic, remember what I said, okay?"
Qin Sang's fingers gripped the phone so tightly they turned white. She hummed in agreement, "Don't worry about me. Take care of yourself."
Li Weiran hung up the phone, nodding to the other three waiting with a worried expression. Chen Yubai let out a long sigh, collapsing onto the sofa and wearily massaging his temples. Qin Song rubbed his head, still unconvinced, "I still don't think it's a good idea. With Big Brother's defenses like an iron barrel, how much ability can Sangsang really bring Gu Yan out?"
Chen Yubai hadn't had a proper rest for several days, and now that his nerves were relaxed, his voice was low and sleepy, "It's okay if there isn't any. Scaring Big Brother might have some effect. Actually, the key is still Gu Yan."
Rong Yan was in a good mood, laughing nonchalantly. He patted Qin Song's shoulder and winked knowingly, "Don't you know whether Qin Sang is capable or not?"
"Depend on!"
Two curses, two sweeping kicks. Rong Yan fell to the ground, wincing in pain. "You bunch of heartless bastards who only care about women!"
Liang Feifan spent the whole day catching up with Jason. They agreed to go drinking that evening, but he felt uneasy. When he asked Gu Yan what she was doing, C calmly replied that Miss Yan was cooking in the kitchen.
He had a couple of drinks with Jason before rushing back. Gu Yan was indeed in the kitchen, her busy figure in an apron making his heart pound.
"Why are you back so late? Have you had dinner?" Gu Yan asked, turning her head slightly as she chopped vegetables. Liang Feifan reached out and pressed the knife in her hand. "Be careful! Let me do it."
Gu Yan gently nudged him with her elbow, "Go wash your hands."
Liang Feifan washed his hands and came over, wrapping his arms around her from behind. He took the knife from her hand and slowly began to cut, slice by slice. Gu Yan turned her head and rubbed against his neck, grinning.
Liang Feifan felt a chill run down his spine. He threw the knife away with a thud, grabbed her, and turned her around. Their eyes met, his eyes burning with fury. "Gu Yan, what exactly are you trying to do?" He would rather she acted like she did when she was unhappy before, even if it gave him a headache. Her current calm and nonchalant demeanor, even taking the initiative to cook, sent chills down his spine. What was she planning to do? He had a strong sense of foreboding.
Gu Yan tilted her head and thought seriously for a while. "Let me think, I asked you the same question that day, and what did you answer me? Oh, you said, I haven't decided yet. I still haven't decided what to do." The hand gripping her shoulder suddenly tightened, and she couldn't help but cry out, "Be gentle! It hurts."
Liang Feifan squatted down and hoisted her onto his shoulder. He strode upstairs, and she bounced on his back, laughing and screaming.
His clothes were ripped open with great force, and Gu Yan struggled to arouse him. In fact, she always knew what he liked, and this kind of coy resistance was definitely to his liking. Liang Feifan's eyes turned even redder, and he slightly lost control of the force in his hands.
He spread her legs, kissed and licked them a few times, but impatiently waited for her to slowly become wet. He smeared some saliva on her and pushed his tongue inside, causing her two small, tender labia to slightly open.
He climbed on top of her, grabbed her buttocks, and thrust in. Gu Yan wasn't fully wet inside yet; the dry friction made her lips turn white, and she bit his shoulder, leaving deep teeth marks. He knew he was too hasty, so he pressed down on her, resisting her urges, and slowly circled and rubbed against her. When he reached the small pearl in the middle, he deliberately pushed upwards forcefully, "Does it feel good, Yan'er?"
"...Mmm...so good..." she murmured, licking his earlobe. His pressure sent shivers down her spine. "...It feels wet enough...Feifan...move..."
Hearing her words, he began to move, pulling back and then thrusting forward forcefully, grinding deeply against her clitoris. He teased her with nine shallow thrusts followed by one deep one, until she bit him so hard that the skin on his shoulder broke. Only then did he satisfy her with each thrust. After several dozen thrusts, she moaned and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, making his lower back tingle. Her lower body contracted and sucked him tightly, and Liang Feifan almost couldn't hold back.
The fourth time, Gu Yan felt dizzy and lightheaded. She sat on him, riding him up and down very fast. When she slowed down, he grabbed her waist and thrust upwards, even harder, making her cry out in pain.
Gu Yan contracted her muscles and rode up and down a few times. Taking advantage of his comfortable sigh with his eyes closed, she quickly nestled softly against his chest and whimpered, "No more, I'm so hungry and tired..."
Liang Feifan grabbed her small hand and lifted her up, pressing her onto the bed in the blink of an eye. Their lower bodies, which were originally connected, were now reduced to just their heads stuck there. He thrust in a little bit, lifted her legs, and flipped her over completely, changing their position to rear-entry.
At first, Gu Yan whimpered and refused to cooperate, lying there limply and letting him do as he pleased. Liang Feifan wasn't satisfied, so he put down one of her legs and pinched her buttocks. He grabbed her hard, and Gu Yan felt both pain and stimulation, twisting her waist and shrinking even more violently. Liang Feifan felt a tingling sensation in his lower back from her grip, which fueled his arousal. He used even more force, thrusting into her body without mercy. The sounds of slapping and slapping, along with Gu Yan's moans and screams, echoed throughout the room.
Finally, he was pulled out by her tight, hot grip, and he ejaculated against her inner walls in waves. Gu Yan, who had been somewhat numb from his prolonged thrusting, shuddered again as the hot liquid washed over her, and she reached her climax in rhythm with him.
Escape
