Shen Sixian was now truly shocked and pained, as if struck by lightning.

He couldn't understand how Xie Jinghui had managed to sneak into Shen Shuangjian's room right under his nose, and even bully her when he couldn't see her.

How dare Xie Jinghui? How dare he treat Shen Shuangjian like this? How dare he bully him to this extent!?

" Zhizhi, it's alright, it's alright now."

Shen Sixian his eyes, stroking Shen Shuangjian's long hair that was scattered behind him, but his heart ached terribly, constantly churning with anger and self-blame.

Shen Shuangjian, she should have been such a gentle yet resilient person.

He rarely gives any special feedback to the outside world. He is calm, sensitive, and aloof, yet also kind and gentle.

His Zhizhi was such a good person, a precious treasure whom he cherished dearly, yet still felt his palms were too cold and hard.

Why did Xie Jinghui bully him like this? Why did she scare him like this?

What did he do to scare Zhizhi so much that she ran to him on her Zhizhi initiative, even trembling and seeking his protection?

Shen Sixian even struggled to control the force in his hands so that his anger wouldn't affect Shen Shuangjian. In his gloomy eyes, there was a chilling intent sharper than a blade.

"Come on, brother will take you away."

Shen Sixian didn't bother with the accounts or asking Xie Jinghui what he had done.

He gently picked up the person in his arms, didn't look back again, and strode towards the next bedroom, the door slamming shut as a sign of his rage.

Shen Shuangjian that he was genuinely angry and felt wronged.

But this grievance was tinged with coquetry and dissatisfaction. This grievance, the stinging pain from the bite marks between her legs, would be triggered when she heard Xie Jinghui's voice, because she would recall the unbearable yet inescapable torment she had just endured.

He couldn't understand why Xie Jinghui could be so wicked; he was utterly wicked.

How could he do such a thing, holding his waist and pressing down on his legs to prevent him from running away?

He clearly said no, he clearly said he couldn't take it anymore, so why won't he stop?

He always asked him questions before, and always gave him a chance to refuse.

Why go back on your word? Why be a liar?

" Zhizhi."

Shen Shuangjian sank into the soft sofa, still looking stubborn and unwilling to speak or see anyone.

" Zhizhi, where... does it hurt?"

Shen Sixian about to speak when he hesitated and changed the subject.

He simply didn't know how to bring up the subject. Should he ask Shen Shuangjian, "Did Xie Jinghui say or do something to you?"

If it was said, what was said? If it was done, what was done?

How should he ask, and how could Shen Shuangjian possibly answer?

In fact, he was well aware of Xie Jinghui's treacherous ambitions and what Xie Jinghui might do or say to Shen Shuangjian.

He only hated himself for not being able to be ruthless enough to simply prevent Shen Shuangjian this damned program again.

What's even more infuriating is how foolish I was to believe that Xie Jinghui was a calm and rational businessman who knew what was important and would back down when things got tough.

Shen Sixian calmed his breathing, then reached out and first checked Shen Shuangjian's arm, which was still as delicate and white as usual.

But Shen Sixian still felt uneasy. He lifted a section of Shen Shuangjian's clothes, revealing her slender, porcelain-like skin and abdomen.

But on the left and right sides of her waist, what caught the eye were ambiguous marks with red finger marks and faint bluish tinges from where the force was applied too hard.

Shen Sixian's breath hitched, but before Shen Sixian could get a better look, the slow-witted Shen Shuangjian hugged herself and pulled down her clothes.

He wouldn't let Shen Sixian look at him like that.

With his heart pounding, Shen Sixian lifted his long hair and pulled down his collar a little to reveal his collarbone.

Compared to the marks on her waist, the marks on the Shen Shuangjian's neck were even more glaring.

The back of my neck, my collarbone, those red marks left because my skin and flesh are so precious.

With such marks on his Shen Sixian, who was so aware of the filth and corruption of human nature, not know what kind of situation would lead to such traces?

Shen Sixian truly hates this now.

He had countless questions he wanted to ask, but Shen Shuangjian was born so pure that he couldn't even utter those overly clear words.

People always say that the eldest brother is like a father, but between them, there is a distance that is most reserved for Easterners.

Even the closest family members can't be too explicit or say too much about such matters.

Shen Sixian even felt a dull ache in his ribs from anger.

"He... he did that to you?"

Shen Sixian's questions were veiled, yet Shen Shuangjian completely ignorant about these matters, aside from her normal physiology lessons.

So, anxiously awaiting an answer, Shen Sixian looked at Shen Shuangjian, who was blinking blankly, but after a long time, he saw neither a nod nor a shake of the head.

Sensing Shen Shuangjian's confusion and slowness, Shen Sixian could only purse his lips and try a different approach to ask.

"Did he take off his clothes? Did he unbutton... his pants?"

Shen Sixian spoke with difficulty, but if he didn't say it this way, what else could he say?

Fortunately, after asking that question, he received an honest but slow shake of his head from Shen Shuangjian.

At this moment, Shen Sixian's heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally felt half relieved.

He lowered his head, asked a few more questions in a soft voice, and comforted his aggrieved younger brother for a while.

He prepared hot water and told Shen Shuangjian in the room after she finished showering. After he finished doing all this, Shen Sixian pushed open the bathroom door and came out.

He didn't utter a word, but with a calm expression, he first slowly rolled up his sleeves, then took off his expensive and exquisite watch, and with a flick of his slender fingers, casually tossed it onto the sofa.

When Shen Sixian pushed open the door and walked alone into the corridor, both bedroom doors were wide open.

It was as if the other party had anticipated that Shen Sixian would come to settle accounts, so they were waiting in advance.

Xie Jinghui's room layout was not much different from Shen Shuangjian's room layout, with clean and soft carpets covering the entire room.

But Shen Sixian had no interest in looking at the furnishings. He closed the door behind him, and when their cold gazes met, Shen Sixian didn't even want to waste a word.

He approached slowly, his knuckles even cracking as he clenched his fists.

Xie Jinghui, however, remained completely calm and unresponsive, showing no intention of making any defensive moves.

Conversely, when Xie Jinghui met Shen Sixian's angry gaze, he didn't hesitate and slapped himself hard across the face.

The crisp sound of the slap was enough to show just how much force he had used.

Xie Jinghui didn't even flinch; her profile, turned to the side, revealed a focused and indifferent expression.

His sudden action caused Shen Sixian to frown and his anger to falter.
