Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 406 - 405: Victory by Force

Despite all her calculations, Liu Qingxi ended up losing in terms of physical strength. With experience in the night raids at the Liu Mansion, she knew about Ye Zhi and Huanhuan’s martial arts and decided it was best to reduce their chances of being alone. Silently, she leaned closer to Shen Chen.

"I won’t go. There’s nothing we need to talk about. Mr. Shen and I are going in the same direction. If there’s nothing else, we’ll be on our way first."

Ye Zhi was relentless, shouting, "Xiao Chen is from my Ye Mansion, and he’s with you? What if he goes back to Ye Mansion now, would you follow him?"

Liu Qingxi let out a sneer, "I won’t accompany you back to Ye Mansion. However, Mr. Shen is not exactly going back to Ye Mansion at this moment; he is going with me."

The confidence in her voice made Ye Zhi pause and look at the little traitor uncomfortably.

Shen Chen chose not to comment on the childish behavior between the two girls, speaking calmly, "I have some matters to attend to this time, and I’m not going with Miss Liu. Mr. Chi and I will go ahead; feel free to do as you wish."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhi grabbed Liu Qingxi’s wrist, her expression malicious, saying, "Did you hear that? What are you thinking? Xiao Chen is on our side now. Even if I hit you in front of him, he wouldn’t complain. You’d better see the situation clearly, and steer clear when you see me, Ye Zhi, in the future."

Liu Qingxi had grievances with Ye Zhi, and being suddenly grabbed by the wrist, she began to struggle strongly, not intending to comply with her wishes.

One was a girl who had practiced martial arts for years, the other was a weak girl without the strength to truss a chicken.

One held firm, the other struggled to break free~

Who won or lost was clear at a glance.

On the street, the tug-of-war between the two naturally charming girls attracted more onlookers.

This scene caused Shen Chen, who was about to leave, to pause and look closely at them. For some reason, perhaps it was his illusion, it was as if he saw the young Ah Zhi who had bullied him years ago.

At that time, young Ah Zhi was highly annoying, spending her days idly with Li Du and other friends, frequently bullying him.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "Ah Zhi, let her go."

The young man’s voice was neither too deep nor too shallow.

Ye Zhi blinked her lively eyes, doubting what she heard.

Huanhuan gave her a complicated look and nodded, confirming she did not hear wrong.

Xiao Chen indeed asked Ah Zhi to let go.

However, Ye Zhi feared Shen Chen not in the slightest at this point.

So, why would she release her just like that?

"Xiao Chen, this is a matter between her and me. If you have no business here, you should leave. Staying here won’t change anything. I won’t change my mind about Liu Qingxi just for your sake."

Shen Chen’s cold and indifferent gaze was directly on her, "Behaving like this is unbecoming of a noble lady and will only bring shame to Ye Mansion. Moreover, you are grown now; you cannot continue to act arrogantly as before."

Ye Zhi sneered, "I’ve always been this way. It’s not like you can’t see that. No matter what, I won’t let Liu Qingxi off. I’m holding onto her today until the end. If you have the skills, come and hit me."

Being held, Liu Qingxi seized the opportunity to call out weakly to Shen Chen, a tearful look of grievance in her eyes: "Mr. Shen, save me."

The wrist being held wasn’t actually painful, but the girl’s expression seemed as if she had suffered a great injustice.

It also drew sympathy from others, making it seem like she was being tightly gripped.

Ye Zhi was furious, boiling with anger, thought, "How can this girl play the victim so well?" She said hatefully, "Liu Qingxi, stop pretending. I’m not even using force on you. Shen Chen is on my side; playing innocent won’t help you."
