Three years of cold marriage without sleeping together, why are you crying after remarrying a powerf

Upon hearing the voice, Liang Yu knew that Yan Qi had arrived.

Her eyes were tightly covered by a black blindfold, her mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, and her head subconsciously turned towards the direction of the sound, making a few muffled noises in her throat.

The tall man behind her tightened his grip on her shoulder and shouted angrily in her ear:

"Don't move! Stay still!"

Liang Yu trembled at the angry rebuke, and his arms shook even more violently.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as she tried to stifle her sobs, not wanting to anger the man behind her.

From directly ahead came the soft "click, click" sound of leather shoes stepping on the gravel road.

Liang Yu guessed that this person must be Yan Qi.

The surrounding weeds rustled in the night wind.

Yan Qi walked out steadily from behind the bodyguard.

He walked step by step to the tall man who was holding Liang Yu hostage, and stopped about two meters away.

Yan Qi pressed his thin lips together, his cold, icy gaze fixed on the fruit knife around Liang Yu's neck.

He was dressed in cold, black, and his body was surrounded by an unyielding aura of gloom and ferocity, like a demon who had just emerged from hell.

The surrounding air seemed to drop to freezing point upon his arrival.

The tall man didn't know who Yan Qi was, let alone had ever seen him.

But the oppressive aura emanating from Yan Qi made his legs tremble uncontrollably.

The tall man's heart sank immediately.

He tightened his grip on the fruit knife, swallowed hard, pressed the blade against Liang Yu's neck, and, mustering his courage, asked loudly:

"You're here to rescue her? You'll meet any conditions I set?"

Yan Qi's dark pupils were as cold as an icy pool, his gaze fixed on the fruit knife.

He hummed in response, then replied in a cold, somber tone:

"Yes."

Yan Qi's tone was calm, yet it carried an overwhelming sense of intimidation, causing the tall man to shiver involuntarily.

The tall man gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and his eyes were filled with panic and fear.

He could only find a sense of security in the fruit knife in his hand and in Liang Yu standing in front of him.

The blade pressed tightly against Liang Yu's slender neck, its sharp edge leaving a faint red mark.

The tall man shouted fiercely:

"I want five million! In cash! Delivered within an hour! And a full-fuel SUV! Don't call the police! Or I'll slit her throat right now!"

The tall man gripped the knife handle even tighter as he spoke, his tension and fear causing him to become more pronounced.

The hand holding the knife trembled slightly from gripping it too tightly, causing the fruit knife to tremble along with it.

The blade left a more noticeable red mark on Liang Yu's neck.

Yan Qi's brows were pressed very low, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, covering half of one eye, revealing only half of the cold light in his pupil, and a damp anger emanated from the depths of his eyes.

His sinister aura intensified, and he said coldly:

"Okay, cash and a car, delivered in forty minutes, then release her."

The tall man glanced at Liang Yu, who was being restrained, tightened his grip on Liang Yu, and shouted viciously:

"Do you think I'm stupid? If I let her go now, do you think I can just walk away?"

"Tell them all to move aside! All of you, back up fifty meters! Hurry up!"

Yan Qi's brows furrowed into a cold, hard wrinkle, his gaze fixed on the tall man, his lips taut and even their color paler.

His aura was like a damp, cold alleyway after a rain, filled with oppressive anger that made it hard to breathe.

Yan Qi's voice was cold and hard, with a sinister ruthlessness in his tone:

"Release her, and I'll be your hostage. You can command my men at will."

The tall man snorted coldly and shouted:

"Don't even think about getting her out of my hands! I've figured it out, this little girl is quite useful, and I'm not letting her go!"

After saying that, he tightened his grip on the fruit knife and shouted:

"Quickly retreat fifty meters!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a "whoosh" came from a distance, and an air gun bullet struck the tall man's knife-wielding hand hard.

The tall man was caught off guard and let out a scream. His hand holding the fruit knife instantly loosened, and the fruit knife clattered to the ground.

Yan Qi unleashed all his pent-up anger, lunging out like a cheetah.

He kicked high, hitting the tall man directly in the temple.

The tall man trembled, and the hand gripping Liang Yu's shoulder instantly loosened.

Yan Qi stretched out his long arm and steadily pulled the unsupported Liang Yu into his embrace.

The moment he touched Liang Yu, he clearly felt that Liang Yu was convulsing due to excessive panic.

He held Liang Yu tightly in his arms, supporting Liang Yu's shoulder and back with one forearm.

With his other hand raised, his fingertips taut yet his movements extremely light, he pinched the edge of the cotton cloth stuffed in the corner of her lips and slowly pulled it out.

When her fingertip brushed against Liang Yu's reddened lips, her fingertip suddenly paused.

Yan Qi's sinister aura had long since dissipated in panic; his brows were furrowed tightly, and he even breathed very softly.

The cloth had just been removed from Liang Yu's mouth when he immediately asked in a hoarse and trembling voice:

"Is that you, Yan Qi?"

Yan Qi immediately hummed in agreement, his voice hoarse as he said:

"Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

He reached out and removed the blindfold from Liang Yu's face.

Liang Yu's face was ashen, even his lips had lost all color, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and tears streamed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

The surging anger that had been welling up in Yan Qi's eyes instantly transformed into a cautious tension.

He squatted down, placed Liang Yu's violently trembling wrist on his knee, and slowly untied the knot with his fingertips, revealing the blood-red skin that was already chafed raw.

Yan Qi's knuckles were white from suppressing his anger, his jaw was clenched, and his eyes were filled with heartache and lingering fear. He gently and slowly untied the ropes.

The screams of the three men who had kidnapped her came from behind Liang Yu.

As the cries for mercy grew more and more desperate, Liang Yu's trembling intensified.

Yan Qi stood up, picked up Liang Yu horizontally, and walked towards Cullinan.

He could clearly feel the woman in his arms trembling and her body growing cold.

Yan Qi lowered his eyes to look at Liang Yu, and said in a low, hoarse voice:

"Don't be afraid, I'll give you a sedative injection. You can get a good night's sleep, and you'll be home when you wake up."

Liang Yu's mind went blank, and he briefly lost the ability to think.

She instinctively felt a dependence and trust in Yan Qi. She looked up at Yan Qi and nodded, then subconsciously snuggled closer to him without making a sound.

Yan Qi gently placed Liang Yu on the back seat of the Cullinan.

He took a tranquilizer from the prepared medicine box and injected it into Liang Yu's arm.

The screams of the three men could still be heard from not far away.

Liang Yu couldn't help but look in the direction from which the screams came.

Yan Qi put away his medicine box and sat down next to Liang Yu, blocking Liang Yu's view.

He gently closed the car door, shutting out everything outside, his voice much gentler than usual:

"Don't look, I'll handle the rest. I'll take you home now."

Liang Yu looked up at Yan Qi.

Yan Qi's gaze lingered on her face, not intense, but with a damp, lingering quality, like a misty fog spreading across a riverbank, silently enveloping her entire body.

It gave her a strange sense of security.

Liang Yu nodded silently, leaned back in the leather seat with a sense of relief, and closed his eyes, his head feeling groggy.

The Cullinan cruised smoothly through the night, with only the faint sound of the air conditioning blowing inside the carriage.

Liang Yu was completely relaxed after taking the tranquilizer and fell into a deep sleep leaning against the chair.

With my body completely relaxed, I slowly tilted down with the occasional slight bumps from the vehicle.

Before he knew it, Liang Yu's head bumped against Yan Qi's shoulder.

Yan Qi froze, his arms and the muscles in his shoulders and back tensing up instantly.

The heat from Liang Yu's cheek seeped through the shirt fabric, making his shoulder bones tingle.

He breathed very softly and slowly, trying his best to suppress the thunderous roar in his chest.

Yan Qi lowered his eyes slightly, glancing at Liang Yu's peaceful sleeping face.

Liang Yu's breathing was shallow, his forehead was covered with damp hair, and a trace of lingering fear remained on his face. Even in his sleep, his brows were slightly furrowed.

Yan Qi slowly raised his other hand, wanting to brush away the stray hairs sticking to Liang Yu's forehead.

Just as her fingertips were about to touch Liang Yu's forehead, her hand froze in mid-air.

Yan Qi curled his fingers, but eventually withdrew them, clenching them into fists and pressing them against his knees.

Liang Yu would probably really dislike it if he touched her while she was asleep.

He hadn't originally planned to appear before Liang Yu today.

Kang Liang discovered yesterday that after receiving Shi Yue's call, Cao Lan immediately contacted a thug, and then promptly contacted all the shareholders of the Liang Group.

This morning, Liang Yu and Fang Ze went out to Jiangcheng together.

Yan Qi possessed an extremely keen sense of danger.

So he had someone investigate the thugs Cao Lan was in contact with, and then he brought his men to Jiangcheng with Liang Yu.

Fortunately, he came.

He couldn't even imagine what danger Liang Yu would have faced if he hadn't come.

A feeling of lingering fear slowly spread along my spine throughout my body.

A sinister rage welled up in his eyes once more.

Yan Qi's lips were pressed into a sharp, cold arc, his jawline was taut, and even his Adam's apple remained still.

His chilling aura, emanating from his very bones and tinged with anger, made the temperature in the entire carriage drop several degrees.

Liang Yu, however, slept peacefully and quietly, drawn by the faint, damp woody scent emanating from Yan Qi.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in her bedroom on the third floor of Redwood Bay.

Liang Yu suddenly sat up and looked around.

It was like waking up from a dream, feeling that everything that happened in Jiangcheng was just a nightmare, unreal.

She looked down at her wrist.

It was already wrapped tightly in gauze.

It hurts even with a light touch.

Liang Yu can confirm that she was indeed kidnapped in Jiangcheng.

The man who saved her from danger was still Yan Qi.

Why was Yan Qi also in Jiangcheng yesterday?

Was it Yan Qi who took her back to Redwood Bay last night?

Why didn't Yan Qi send her back to Lishu Village?

How did Yan Qi know that she was living in Redwood Bay?

In an instant, Liang Yu's mind was filled with questions.

Liang Yu immediately got up and took out his phone from his bag.

The only messages on my phone were from Fang Ze.

[Xiao Yu, Shi Yue went into shock due to an allergic reaction to mangoes she accidentally ate. She's still not out of danger. I have to stay with her at the hospital tonight and can't go home. You should get some rest. I'll explain everything to you properly when I get home tomorrow.]

This was the first time Fang Ze had said he wanted to explain things properly to her.

But she had completely lost interest in Fang Ze's explanation.

Liang Yu scrolled through his phone several times, but only found this one message from Fang Ze.

There was no news of Yan Qi.

All she wants to see right now is news about Yan Qi.

She was eager to ask Yan Qi at that moment.

Why not wait until she wakes up?

Why don't you send her a single message?

Why does he suddenly avoid her like the plague, yet always appear when she's in danger and save her?

Without any hesitation, Liang Yu dialed Yan Qi's number directly.

The phone rang once, and a recording came through:

"Sorry, the user you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
