When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 1029: Setting an Inescapable Trap for Her (Part 9)

He felt an overwhelming urge to pin her against the wall and kiss her deeply. Inside him, a tidal wave of anger roared and boiled. At that moment, Sheng Yanxiao even thought he could give up.

Give up the grand scheme he had laid out for her, waiting for her to slowly walk towards him. He could use an incredibly assertive stance to force her to be with him.

Sheng Yanxiao had hundreds of such methods, and this thought spread wantonly in his head.

Fortunately, he was ultimately a man guided by reason, so he held back.

He endured it even though it ground his teeth; he didn’t want to force her. He couldn’t bear to force her. He wanted to gradually draw out the feelings she had for him, letting them break free bit by bit from those messy shackles, and then burst forth with unparalleled intensity and fervor.

He could provoke her, gently provoke her, but he truly couldn’t bear to force her.

Others didn’t understand Su Weiyi, but he understood her too well.

His girl, who appeared gentle and weak, with a seemingly tender personality, had her own resilience and stubbornness.

Once she decided on something, she would persist to the end. For instance, her love for painting, something she cherished since childhood, made her spend countless hours in art studios alone while other children played.

For example, everyone thought she was not suited for science, but she insisted on studying it, working late into the nights against the odds.

And when she decided to leave back then, she left so decisively, without leaving a trace of hesitation.

She was like a calm lake, seemingly without a ripple, yet with a hidden volcano beneath; once it erupted, its force was unstoppable and destructive.

What Sheng Yanxiao wanted to do was to awaken all the feelings she had for him.

Allowing them to erupt completely, with the flames of love consuming all those ridiculous concerns.

Sheng Yanxiao had many aspirations in life, but his heart desired only this one person.

He wanted her to willingly be with him, protecting her from the storms outside, as long as she was by his side.

A sharp pain pulled him back. He noticed the cigarette between his fingers had burned out without him realizing it.

He moved slightly, and the familiar room upstairs suddenly turned dark. Sheng Yanxiao stared for a few more seconds before finally turning to leave.

On Wednesday, because there was a banquet at the Sheng Family in the evening, Si Xia took the opportunity to let everyone off early. Su Weiyi packed up her things and was about to leave when her phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, she realized it was an unfamiliar landline.

Su Weiyi answered, and Lu Zhang’s voice came through. Since their last meal, Lu Zhang had been busy, and they hadn’t met. She didn’t expect him to call today.

"Lu Zhang? What’s up?"

The voice on the line was not as gentle as usual, sounding a bit low: "Xiao Yi, I’m at the police station now. Could you come over?"

Su Weiyi’s brow furrowed immediately: "Police station? Alright, hold on, where is it?"

After getting the address, Su Weiyi quickly explained the situation to Si Xia and hurriedly left.

She hadn’t asked what it was about over the phone. It was only upon arriving at the police station that she discovered Lu Zhang had gotten into a fight on the street and had injured someone, sending them to the hospital.

There were injuries on his face, and beside him was a young man who bore similar wounds.
