The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Chapter 197 No Love, No Sex

He is a good person, but when he gets angry, no one can handle him.

"Someone, come here! Are you all dead? Pull the old lady and the young lady apart!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the black-clad bodyguards present had no choice but to bite the bullet and obey Ji Shengkai's orders. They formed groups of three or five and respectfully asked Feng Qingning and Shen Mingxing to leave his side.

Ji Shengkai shook off An Yun who was still pulling his arm, and swung the whip with unstoppable force. With a strong and powerful sound of breaking wind, he whipped Ji Xinyue who was kneeling on the ground with a fierce blow!

"Hey…"

Shen Mingxing was almost crying in anxiety, but she really couldn't break free. She was restrained on both sides by the burly black-clad bodyguards, and she couldn't fight them directly!

As the eldest daughter of a concubine of the Ying family, isn't that tantamount to instigating her subordinates to rebel in person?

At the critical moment, a beautiful figure came whizzing towards them. It was almost a subconscious action. The first thing Shi Rong did when he arrived was to rush forward regardless of everything and take this powerful whip for Ji Xinyue!

"Forehead…"

The vine dragon whip suddenly hit Shi Rong's finely sculpted back, through the pure white suit and commuter coat she was wearing.

The moment the brocade velvet fabric was torn apart, a horizontal line of skin below her shoulder cracked and tore at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the flesh turned inside out and bleeding.

She was so excited that she let out a suppressed groan on the spot!

For someone like her, who can swallow even a broken tooth and never cry out in pain no matter what kind of misfortune she encounters.

She gasped in pain and frowned, which shows how powerful the Vine Dragon Whip is!

Shi Rong put his hands on the ground and barely supported his half-kneeling body. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of his fair forehead.

Speaking of which, ever since the Ying family came up with the Vine Dragon Whip, this terrifying torture device, she has never tried it herself.

I got to see it today.

This really hurts...

The pain felt even worse than when she was injured in the waist at Jishan Mountain in South China.

"Oh! Rong'er!"

“Ah!! Shi Yong!”

"Shi Rong..."

"Xiao'er."

The situation changed so quickly that no one expected that at such a critical moment, Shi Rong would arrive unexpectedly and take the fatal whip for Ji Xinyue!

Everyone present was shocked. When Ji Shengkai, the instigator of the trouble, learned that he had caused trouble, he threw away the whip in his hand and ran over with others to support Shi Rong's slender body.

"Xiao Er! How's it going? Huh?"

Feng Qingning hugged Shi Rong into her arms, extremely anxious, her eyes filled with obvious heartache and pity.

Her precious granddaughter, she had never been willing to use the Ying family's punishment on her since she was a child, so why did she have to be caught up in it today?

"Oh! There's so much blood! Go call Chengfeng!"

An Yun was crying with tears in her eyes, stretching out her hands at a loss, feeling caught in a dilemma.

She didn't dare touch Shi Rong's back, which was already soaked in blood, for fear of disturbing her horrific wound.

"Grandma, Aunt An, Uncle Ji, I'm fine."

Shi Rong took several deep breaths before finally coming back to his senses from the severe pain. He was able to calm down and speak a complete sentence.

Turning around, Shi Rong stood in front of Ji Xinyue as usual, facing Ji Shengkai.

"Uncle Ji, I know you're very unhappy about Xinyue and Master Song Jian being together, but please listen to me. Ultimately, I'm also responsible for their being together."

"If I hadn't insisted on going to the Huo family's Lanting Courtyard, perhaps Xinyue wouldn't have met Master Song Jian. Instead of punishing Xinyue in public today, why not punish me directly?"

"After all, without me, they wouldn't be where they are today."

Ji Shengkai knew very well that the reason why Shi Rong came all the way back from the company was, after all, for his good-for-nothing daughter!

But in such an urgent moment where lives were at stake, he had no mood to listen to Shi Rong's words.

In comparison, he was more worried about Shi Rong's safety.

"Don't say that, Rong'er. How could Uncle Ji bear to punish you? Uncle Ji knows that everything you did was for the good of Xinyue and me. So, let's go to the Mirage Dragon Hall to see your wounds first, and then Uncle Ji will listen to you slowly, okay?"

Ji Shengkai wanted to help others pull up Shi Rong who was still kneeling in front of him, but the woman stubbornly shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

She is well aware of the principle that a single move can affect the entire body, and some things must be said all at once sooner or later.

"Uncle Ji, do you believe me?"

"Of course!"

Ji Shengkai said it without hesitation.

"Ying'er is the head of my Ying family, my daughter who I have watched grow up! I have spent my entire life fighting for the Ying family and for you. If I don't trust you, who can I trust?"

Knowing he would say that, Shi Rong forced a relieved smile at him.

"Then please give me three days, Uncle Ji. After three days, I will prove to you that Master Song Jian is not the fickle and playboy you imagine."

After a pause, Shi Rong continued.

"Uncle Ji, Xinyue has been growing up under your strict control. Perhaps she never understood how to properly avoid other people's advances when it comes to love."

"But we all understand one thing: there's no sex without love. While you're concerned about Xinyue losing her virginity to someone else, haven't you ever thought about what kind of unique charm that person possesses to make Xinyue willingly fall at his feet?"

"Xinyue is 26 years old now. She's already an adult who can stand on her own two feet. Sweet talk and false pretenses are nothing but passing clouds to her."

"She still has countless suitors in East City today. If you don't tell her, doesn't she know the difference between a good man and a bad one?"

Shi Yan straightened his proud upper body, ignoring the heart-wrenching pain coming from behind.

"Uncle Ji, you were young once too. Don't think I don't know. When you were young, you were also a rare and outstanding person in the area."

"Can you guarantee that Aunt An is the only woman you've ever had in your life? I don't believe it..."

"Pfft..."

Shen Mingxing knew that she shouldn't laugh when Shi Rong was seriously injured, but her low sense of humor caused her to always laugh involuntarily when she was around Shi Rong.

So much so that even now, she had been slapped in private by the harsh Feng Qingning, she still couldn't stop laughing.

Ji Shengkai's face turned red after hearing her words, and he coughed twice in a serious but extremely embarrassed manner.

"Little girl! Now you've really grown up, and you're criticizing your uncle Ji..."

Shi Rong was amused by his embarrassing words, and her smile was faint, gentle and intoxicating.

"Oh, Uncle Ji, how dare I criticize you? You and Uncle Xia and Uncle Shen are all on par with my father in the Ying family. How could I have the guts to do that?"
