Shen Xingyue's First Kiss

"Mr. Chen, because I don't want to die. I want to live a normal life, happily and healthily, until I'm old."

Miss Shen's clear, cold eyes stared blankly at Chen Dong, as if she wasn't lying.

"Miss Shen, please don't joke around with me here.

You'll die if you marry the Gong Family's eldest young master, but you can live a normal life by following me without a proper title?"

Chen Dong chuckled, thinking it was getting more and more ridiculous. It was a waste of his time. If she weren't so pretty, he would have kicked her out.

"Gong Han, the most commercially talented core disciple of the Gong Family's younger generation, is highly valued by his elders.

Besides his exceptional business talent, he has another characteristic—he's a pervert!"

A hint of panic flickered across Miss Shen's calm face.

"The information I've gathered indicates that this person has a sinister personality and enjoys pursuing beautiful women who seem unapproachable. Once he gets them, he will do everything in his power to torment and humiliate them.

In just the last two and a half years, as many as three girls have been forced to their deaths by him!"

Chen Dong opened his mouth speechlessly. He had always thought that people with such personalities only appeared on TV, but he never expected them to exist in real life.

It's one thing if you have psychological problems, but the key is being in a high position and having abundant resources.

A dead pervert, if he were a fool, would be fine, but the key is that he's also extremely intelligent, giving off a gentle and cultivated impression, deeply liked by elders, and quite shrewd in business.

Miss Shen's resources within the Shen Family are not particularly extensive, so the information she could obtain was definitely incomplete.

In other words, the number of girls forced to their deaths by Gong Han might be far more than three!

Even so, Shen Wanhua and Shen Xingyu still strongly pushed for her marriage to Gong Han, vowing to marry her into the Gong Family, which was quite intriguing.

If Miss Shen truly married him openly, she certainly couldn't commit suicide freely. Once she ended her life, it would trigger conflict between the two families. She could only barely survive, enduring blood and tears, living a life that was neither human nor ghost.

However, due to extreme physical and mental torment, she might die of depression at thirty or forty years old...

A chill rose from his Yongquan acupoint, shooting straight to his Tianling蓋 (crown of the head). Chen Dong had always believed that parents would certainly dote on their children immensely, holding them in their hands for fear of dropping them, and holding them in their mouths for fear of melting them.

If he had a cute and beautiful daughter, Chen Dong would never bear to let her suffer even a little, let alone push her into the abyss of death.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I was presumptuous.

You and I are strangers, and today is our first meeting. There's no reason for you to step in and fight against a force in the capital for a stranger like me, who could even be considered a competitor's enemy."

A rare desolate expression appeared on Miss Shen's face. She had known for a long time that she would become a pawn in a marriage alliance for her family, and for years, she had tried her best to hide all her emotions.

But at this critical juncture, when truly facing such a chilling future, even with her excellent mental cultivation, she could no longer hide it.

"Mr. Chen, Shen Xingyu is preparing to move against Fang Qiang. You have a lot of incriminating information on Fang Qiang. Shen Wanhua and his son are worried that you have evidence of their collusion with Fang Qiang.

But now you are a public figure, and your security is well-established, so they've decided to abandon Fang Qiang as a pawn, to ensure there's no evidence left."

After Miss Shen finished speaking, she stood up and looked at Chen Dong seriously once more—

With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a handsome face, and an aura of calm confidence, he was indeed very captivating. Unfortunately, he ultimately did not belong to her.

Watching Miss Shen turn to leave, Chen Dong narrowed his eyes. He was still too soft-hearted—

If such a beautiful and intelligent woman were to be tormented to death, he felt his conscience would be condemned.

If he didn't know, it would be completely irrelevant, but she had come to him for help. This damn compassion.

Hmm, perhaps it was purely because he coveted her body!

"Miss Shen, please wait." Chen Dong stood up and spoke slowly.

Miss Shen was stunned, wondering what Chen Dong meant. Was he agreeing to help her, or did he want to see the Shen Family become a laughingstock?

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Miss Shen stopped, but didn't dare to look back.

"Does Mr. Chen have any other instructions?" One could hear her voice tremble slightly, as if awaiting a judgment of fate.

Aside from Chen Dong, no one in Jinghai had the strength or intention to help her. The Bai Family could go head-to-head with the Shen Family, but Miss Shen wasn't optimistic about them. From Miss Shen's understanding, Bai Shaolong and his son definitely wouldn't get involved.

As for the capital and Modu, there were certainly not a few powerful financial groups comparable to the Gong Family, but she didn't know any of them.

"I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee success." Chen Dong narrowed his eyes.

"However, I hope you don't reveal our relationship to anyone until everything is out in the open.

I need some time to make thorough preparations. The Shen Family doesn't have that much power, but I don't know much about the Gong Family yet.

You're a smart person; you should know what I mean."

"Thank you, Chen Dong." Miss Shen turned around, trembling, tears welling up in her eyes, making her look incredibly charming.

Suddenly, she ran towards Chen Dong, directly throwing herself into his arms, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Chen Dong.

"Holy crap, was I just forcefully kissed?"

An uncle can endure, but an aunt cannot! Besides, Miss Shen didn't know how to kiss at all; she merely pressed her soft lips against Chen Dong's, with no further action.

Holding such an elegantly graceful beauty, and with her taking the initiative to embrace him, what else was there to say?

Let's collect some interest first...

Ten minutes later, Miss Shen walked out of the study with a blushing face, her lips slightly swollen from Chen Dong's biting...

Downstairs, Xia Xuehan and the three young girls looked at the uninvited guest with curiosity, wondering what had happened between Chen Dong and her during the half an hour they spent upstairs.

"Sister-in-law, did my brother cheat?" Chen Hong, always one to stir up trouble, pointed at Miss Shen.

Xia Xuehan was youthful and beautiful, but in terms of pure elegance, a noble daughter like Miss Shen was absolutely unparalleled, far beyond what a girl from a poor family like Xia Xuehan could compare to.

Especially seeing the shy and timid look on Miss Shen's face, there was definitely something going on between the two of them.

Miss Shen completely ignored the three young girls peeking from the kitchen doorway, walked out without looking sideways, and drove away in her car.

Although she didn't receive Chen Dong's complete support, Miss Shen felt incredibly at ease. After just half an hour of interaction, she had a completely new understanding of Chen Dong.

Seemingly young, yet steady and magnanimous, with a very strong overall perspective. Even if he only agreed to 'give it a try,' compared to a rash youth who would immediately thump his chest and promise to 'definitely get things done for you,' Chen Dong's promise felt more reliable.

The engagement date agreed upon by Shen Wanhua and Gong Han was New Year's Day. After the engagement, Miss Shen would move into the Gong Family's residence.

There were still more than three months. If these three months were utilized well, everything could still turn around.
