After Falling for the Handsome CEO - Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Once I’m Bored with You, What Will You Even Be?!

Shen Jin had been rolling around in the muck since he was a child. Living at the very bottom of society, he had seen little of the world and understood nothing of the glitz and glamour of high society; thus, he had managed to preserve a certain purity of heart.

That was why, when he met Yan Yu, he took every smile, every soft word, and every act of kindness to heart. He couldn’t restrain his racing pulse, because no one had ever treated him like that before.

But now he finally realized that he never truly knew the man. Perhaps that “kindness” was merely a microscopic bit of tenderness tossed down like alms by someone looking down from a great height…

And he, like a fool, had cherished it as a treasure.

Yan Yu’s expression turned even more unsightly, his face so dark it looked as if it could drip ink. He wrapped his left hand around Shen Jin’s throat, pressing down with brutal force, and hissed through gritted teeth, “What… did you say?”

Pinned to the bed and choked by the furious man, Shen Jin could barely draw breath. His face flushed a deep red, yet he didn’t resist. He only managed to squeeze out the words: “I don’t want… cough… to do this anymore… Just let this… be the last time… okay?”

Before meeting Yan Yu, though his life was hard and he often had to endure the whims of others and work submissively, he could at least find peace in the fact that his labor provided an income to sustain himself and Shen Lian.

But since meeting Yan Yu, his life remained just as difficult, only now it was layered with a crushing agony that made it hard to breathe. He was exhausted, body and soul.

Slap—!

Another slap sent Shen Jin’s head snapping to the side.

With the first slap, he had broken down, unable to control his tears.

But with this second slap, his heart was like stagnant water—dead, silent, and unable to produce even a ripple. He just felt numb.

After striking him, Yan Yu grabbed his throat again, forcing Shen Jin’s face back toward him. “Did I give you permission to say that a second time?!” he roared.

“Why can’t you just be sensible! Just be obedient like before! Be on call whenever I want! Don’t cry, don’t make a scene! Why do you insist on intentionally making me angry?!”

Yan Yu felt like strangling him right then and there!

Tonight, because of this person, things had become unpleasant between him and Xie Li. When he left the villa, Xie Li had tried to stop him, but he had come here anyway.

Yet, he was met with this attitude—this desperate desire to cut ties—and it made him feel as though his lungs were about to burst with rage!

Forced into eye contact, Shen Jin’s gaze was dim and lifeless. His tender skin, having endured two slaps, was bright red and beginning to swell. He tore his throat to scream back: “I just don’t want to be like that anymore!!”

Yan Yu’s face remained grim as he let out a sneer. The mockery in his eyes stung Shen Jin’s heart deeply. “You think you have the right to negotiate with me? I was only gentle with you before because I thought you were a cute, silly little thing. You really thought you could push your luck and climb higher, didn’t you?!”

Yan Yu stopped wasting words. He began to violently tear the clothes from Shen Jin’s body. The crude movements made Shen Jin whimper in pain, but he bit his lip, feeling his existing injuries flare up under the man’s rough handling.

Yan Yu laughed coldly, his voice dripping with disdain. “Once I’m bored with you, what will you even be?!”

“I… know…” Shen Jin gave up struggling. He lay on the bed like a wooden puppet, letting the man strip him bare. He closed his eyes, and a single tear fell silently onto the pillow.

However, the pain he anticipated didn’t come. Instead, the man suddenly froze. With a darkened face, Yan Yu’s gaze was fixed dead-set on the purple bruises and angry red swelling covering Shen Jin’s chest…
