Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 281 - 294: Secret Tryst

When Qin Mu thought of Zhuang Heng’s words, his heart stirred. He looked at Su Xingyu with a fiery gaze that made her shiver.

Su Xingyu cautiously retreated, one step after another, while verbally sparring with Qin Mu: "Let me go, Qin Mu. If Lu Shifeng finds out you’ve brought me here, he’ll surely be very upset. Even if you don’t consider yourself, think about the Qin Family. Let me go now, and I promise I’ll act as if nothing ever happened. I won’t say a word to Lu Shifeng."

Qin Mu looked at her full of desire, his body heating up, impatient as if he wanted to pounce on her.

He didn’t understand why, after being together for so long, he insisted on not taking her then? If he had taken her body back then, would she not have been able to leave him?

He cornered her to the wall, leaving her with nowhere to retreat, reaching out to stroke her smooth, soft cheek: "Xingyu, you’re so beautiful... How could I bear to give you to Lu Shifeng? I know, Lu Shifeng is just playing around with you. Once he’s bored, he’ll discard you. As long as we truly love each other, he won’t do anything to the Qin Family. Women, he has plenty of them."

These were also words given to him by Zhuang Heng, saying Lu Shifeng wouldn’t take Su Xingyu seriously and definitely wouldn’t launch a family business war over a girl he was casually playing with.

Zhuang Heng also said that Lu Shifeng’s mother really didn’t like Su Xingyu, and if he could help get rid of this trouble, she would definitely reward him greatly!

This was also why Qin Mu was willing to take such a risk.

Her scalp was exploding with thoughts on how to escape. She gritted her teeth and raised her knee to viciously kick him in the groin!

"Ah—!" Qin Mu let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground.

Su Xingyu’s heart was pounding madly, knowing this was the critical moment to escape. She ignored Qin Mu, who was curled up on the ground like a shrimp, and forcefully pulled at the bedroom door!

However, no matter how much strength she used, the door wouldn’t budge.

Su Xingyu panicked and grabbed Qin Mu’s collar: "Why won’t the door open? Tell me now! How does it open?"

Qin Mu, drenched with sweat, stared at her with a mix of resentment and greed: "Xingyu, you can’t escape... that door... you can’t open it..."

Su Xingyu let go of him. She didn’t dare to linger any longer, afraid he would recover enough to catch her again. In terms of strength, she was no match for Qin Mu, this big man! Her clear eyes scanned the surroundings and saw that besides the bedroom door, there was a large terrace outside.

She ran towards the terrace, thankful it was only the second floor. Though climbing down would be difficult, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

She couldn’t worry about her image anymore.

She scrambled clumsily off the terrace and tumbled down, twisting her ankle upon landing.

A stabbing pain shot through her.

But she couldn’t afford to worry about her injured foot and staggered away, running as fast as she could.

The sound of waves crashed along the winter coastline, surrounded by scattered rocks, shallow pits, and withered branches and grass.

She stumbled and staggered, hearing the noise from behind, and the barking of wolf dogs. Turning back, she saw Qin Mu and the villa’s people chasing after her!

Her face turned deathly pale, unable to imagine the consequences if she were caught, she only ran harder and faster. Her foot landed on something, causing her to fall, covered in dirt. She couldn’t stop to check her injuries, using hands and feet to get up and run, run desperately...

Feeling the voices behind her getting closer, she didn’t dare look back, praying inside her heart for heaven to help her through this ordeal...

She didn’t know how long she had been running, maybe only ten minutes or perhaps several hours, her injured legs growing heavy until she fell to the ground.

"There! Right there!"

"Don’t let her get away!"

Behind her, Qin Mu’s men shouted excitedly.

Su Xingyu pushed her hands on the ground, struggling to get up, but suddenly, one of her hands was stomped on by a foot.

The foot wore brand new outdoor sports shoes, the coarse anti-slip tread pressing into her delicate skin, instantly drawing blood. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

She cried out in pain, raising her head to see Zhuang Heng’s beautiful yet venomous face.

"Run, go on, run," Zhuang Heng said in an elegant white suit, her refined makeup clashing with the sports shoes as if they were changed hurriedly. She looked down at Su Xingyu with a satisfied smile, "You’re so cheap, even after being with Shifeng, you still sneak out to meet an old flame. What would Shifeng do to you if he found out?"

Su Xingyu bit back the pain in her hand, feeling uneasy with each word Zhuang Heng spoke.

"Why are you here?" She asked, raising her head, trying hard to pull her hand from under Zhuang Heng’s foot, but to no avail.

Zhuang Heng, unsatisfied, ground her hand several more times until it was covered in blood and flesh before stopping: "Su Xingyu, of course, I’m here with Shifeng. I brought him to witness a good show of catching you in the act. I didn’t expect you could run so fast; maybe the scene will be even more thrilling with a wild rendezvous."

As she spoke, Qin Mu had already reached them with his men and wolf dogs.

"Miss Zhuang?" Seeing Zhuang Heng, he paused, "Why are you here?"

"Shifeng found out you kidnapped her and came after you. We’re searching in different directions, he’ll likely be here soon." Zhuang Heng didn’t waste time; she spoke plainly, "Didn’t you want Su Xingyu to have your child? You have to act quickly if not; at least make sure it’s done before Shifeng arrives. If she ends up pregnant, she’ll be yours."

"You’re shameless!" Su Xingyu finally understood her meaning, disregarding her mutilated hand as she struggled to flee.

But behind her, Qin Mu lunged, hugging her tightly, carrying her behind a large rock nearby.

"Xingyu," he eagerly undid his belt, reaching to tear her clothes, "Don’t blame me, you forced me."

"Get away! Go!" Terrified, she kicked and pushed, shouting.

Qin Mu clamped his hand over her mouth.

On the other side of the big rock, there were chaotic voices.

Lu Shifeng had arrived with his men, coldly asking Zhuang Heng, "What did you find here? Have you seen Xingyu?"
