After dinner, Gong Hongming went to take a shower.

Yu Sangwan returned to the room and locked the door. But she still didn't dare to lie down. She paced back and forth uneasily, waiting for Mrs. Gong.

As time passed by the minute by second, the unease grew stronger.

"What should I do? Why hasn't she come yet?"

She didn't know how much time had passed when suddenly the doorknob was turned. Yu Sangwan was startled and stopped to stare at the door.

"Wanwan, are you asleep?"

It's Gong Hongming!

Yu Sangwan was in a panic, instinctively biting her fingers. What should she do? Gong Hongming was about to come in! Having been with Lu Jinxuan for so long, she knew clearly that Gong Hongming coming in at this hour could not be just to chat and have heart-to-heart talks!

Hearing no sound inside, Gong Hongming said again, "Asleep? Then I'm coming in myself!"

The door was locked, but this was Gong Hongming's place! Naturally, he had a way to open it!

The moment the lock clicked open, Yu Sangwan felt like her soul had left her body.

"..." Gong Hongming pushed the door open and came in, seeing Yu Sangwan standing there stupidly, he couldn't help but smile, "What are you doing?"

"I…" Yu Sangwan was slightly stunned, pointing to the bathroom, "I was in there just now, came out and heard you coming in."

"Oh?" Gong Hongming was doubtful, his tone rising, "Really? You like to lock the door when you sleep, huh?"

The implication was that she was locking the door against him, and he knew it.

"Haha." Yu Sangwan smiled and nodded, "Habit."

Gong Hongming slowly walked over, grabbed her hand, suddenly pulled her into his arms. He looked down at her, a smile on his lips, "This habit is quite good, girls… should have some sense of security. But… when you live here, you won't need it. I will protect you."

"..."

Yu Sangwan's heart was in darkness. What should she do?

...

"Sir, sir, you can't go in!"

"Move aside! I'll kick you to death!"

Noisy sounds came from outside, it was Le Zhengsheng!

Le Zhengsheng kicked down everyone blocking his way. He quickly got to the door, banging on it hard, "Wanwan, Wanwan! It's Le Zheng! Are you in there?"

"Ah…" Yu Sangwan was being pressed by Gong Hongming, on the verge of losing her ground! "Le Zheng…"

Gong Hongming frowned, his expression instantly turned sinister, "How did he know you were here?"

However, before he could ponder, with a loud 'bang', the whole door was kicked down by Le Zhengsheng, crashing heavily onto the floor… even the floor was shaking!

"Young Master Le Zheng!" Gong Hongming could only get up to deal with him. "What are you doing? Breaking into my house in the middle of the night, isn't that wrong?"

Le Zhengsheng glared at him fiercely, hating him, "Old beast!"

He rushed to the bed and saw Yu Sangwan's disheveled state, fury ignited within him. He quickly took off his coat and covered her with it, "Wanwan, don't be scared, I'm here!"

"..." Yu Sangwan's eyes were swollen red. She was completely at a loss. Seeing Le Zhengsheng, she couldn't hold back anymore, immediately throwing herself into his arms, "Le Zheng… Le Zheng! I'm so scared!"

Le Zhengsheng rested his chin on her head, sighed in guilt, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten angry with you, shouldn't have ignored you… Letting you be wronged, it's my fault."

He lowered his head, daring only to place a light kiss on her hair.

Le Zhengsheng picked up Yu Sangwan, "Let's go, let's leave."

"Young Master Le Zheng, this isn't appropriate, right? This is my place!" Gong Hongming looked at him, obviously not ready to let her go.

"Hmph!" Le Zhengsheng snorted coldly, looking at the situation.

He gently said to Yu Sangwan, "Wait for me here for a moment, I'll get even for you!"

Finishing, he stood up.

He raised two fingers, placed them on his neck, tugged at his tie left and right, the tie loosened… suddenly pulled it off. Le Zhengsheng chin lifted, a mischievous smile playing at the corner of his mouth, he wrapped the tie around his right hand circle by circle, extremely slowly and deliberately.

"Young Master Le Zheng?" Gong Hongming asked, puzzled, "You're not really planning to fight me over a woman, are you? Does your father permit you to do this?"

Le Zhengsheng suddenly swung his right hand backward, then pulled it back.

The instant sound of bones grinding in the air, he tilted his head left and right, shouting fiercely, "Ah!"

Immediately rushed at Gong Hongming, raising his right hand wrapped in a tie, slammed hard at him!

Gong Hongming was completely unable to fend off, being pressed to the ground, only taking a beating!

"I dare you to touch her! I dare you to touch her! Do you know who she is? You just touch? Damn it, I can't even bear to touch her, and you filthy old thing, you dare to defile her! See if I don't kill you!"

"Ah..."

Gong Hongming was beaten bruised and swollen, only able to beg for mercy, "Le Zhengsheng, stop it!"

Mrs. Gong watched worriedly from the side, "Young Master Le Zheng, please stop beating him…" He's already unrecognizable.

Le Zhengsheng glanced at Mrs. Gong, sighed, "Okay, today it was Mrs. Gong who informed me! I'll show you some respect, manage your husband well!"

Mrs. Gong was deeply ashamed, looking up at Yu Sangwan, "Wanwan…"

Le Zhengsheng already released Gong Hongming, came forward to hold Yu Sangwan, "It's alright now, don't be afraid, let's leave."

"..." Mrs. Gong watched them leave, worried for Yu Sangwan, yet unable to show it.

Looking back at Gong Hongming, "Are you okay?"

Gong Hongming was filled with rage, "Okay? Is it your fault, Tu Shanni? I tell you, Tu Shanni, what I wanted to do, I could do eighteen years ago, and I can still do it now!"

...

Le Zhengsheng carried Yu Sangwan into the car, Yu Sangwan was greatly shocked, her body still trembling.

"Don't be scared anymore." Le Zhengsheng was heartbroken beyond measure, yet dared not overstep.

Yu Sangwan suddenly raised her hand, gripping his tightly, "Le Zheng, what should I do? Gong Hongming won't let me go."

"..." Le Zhengsheng's eyes widened, somewhat shy, "Uh, why don't you come back with me then!"

"Hm?" Yu Sangwan was puzzled.

"Cough cough." Le Zhengsheng cleared his throat, slightly embarrassed, "I'm not taking advantage of you, I'm doing this for your good! You know Gong Hongming isn't ordinary. So, if you're my girlfriend… he wouldn't dare do anything to you. At the very least, he has to respect the Lezheng Family's face."

"..."

Yu Sangwan was stunned, she couldn't promise Le Zheng.

"Haha." Seeing her reaction, Le Zheng understood, smiled bitterly, "I know, it's not real, I didn't overthink it… Your safety is most important now, right?"

Yu Sangwan looked at him, "It's fake?"

"Of course." Le Zhengsheng felt bitter inside but could only nod seriously, "I know, I'm not in your heart, I won't force you."

Yu Sangwan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you, Le Zheng."

Le Zhengsheng let out a huge sigh of relief, smiled. "You're welcome."

I won't force you, but I'll always wait for you…
