40: Qin Xiaomeng's experience

Chen Li had just walked into the parking lot when he was stunned by the scene before him—Qin Xiaomeng was being beaten, her hair being pulled by a middle-aged woman.

Beside them, the pot-bellied sugar daddy husband was fruitlessly trying to break up the fight; a real-life drama of a wife beating a mistress in public was playing out right before his eyes.

Although he often saw such incidents in the news, this was the first time he had witnessed one in person.

Seeing Qin Xiaomeng's disheveled hair and reddened cheeks, and hearing the wife's hysterical insults, Chen Li couldn't help but frown.

Although there weren't many people in the parking lot, several passersby who had just parked their cars stood by to watch and point, yet no one stepped forward to intervene.

It was indeed difficult for outsiders to step in and judge right from wrong in such emotional disputes.

Chen Li shook his head helplessly, pretended not to see, and walked straight toward his parking space.

After all, he and Qin Xiaomeng were just casual acquaintances; there was no need to get involved in this mess.

Just as he passed the center of the chaos, Qin Xiaomeng suddenly looked up, her tearful eyes meeting his gaze.

Seeing that Chen Li had no intention of helping, the last glimmer of hope in her eyes extinguished.

She could only let the woman tear at her collar, as tears of regret mixed with humiliation rolled down her face.

She finally understood that for the sake of a little vanity, she had pushed herself into such a wretched situation.

I must escape, the thought flashed through her mind.

Seeing Chen Li reach his luxury car and about to pull open the door, Qin Xiaomeng, fueled by an unknown strength,

suddenly broke free from the wife's grip and lunged forward. Before Chen Li could react, she had already pulled the door open and scrambled into his car.

"Chen Li, I beg you,"

She grabbed Chen Li's arm tightly, her voice breaking as she sobbed, "Save me, take me away from here..."

"You..." Chen Li was momentarily speechless, not expecting the woman to be so bold.

By then, the wife had chased them to the car. She yanked the door open and reached in to drag Qin Xiaomeng out.

"You slut, get out here!"

Seeing the two women about to start brawling inside his beloved car, Chen Li finally lost his patience.

"Stop! If you want to fight, do it somewhere else. Don't get my car dirty."

"Who do you think you are?"

The wife turned her rage toward Chen Li, pointing at his nose and cursing, "Are you this slut's lover? Mind your own business!"

This indiscriminate attack made Chen Li's blood boil. He stepped forward, pulled the wife away from the car, and slammed the door shut. "Stay away from my car!"

At this point, the husband, who had been cowering, rushed over and quickly held back his wife. "Stop it, we can't afford to pay for this car..."

He clearly recognized the value of the luxury car and was afraid of getting into even bigger trouble.

"Can't afford to pay?"

The wife slapped her husband back. "You still dare to protect this slut!"

The two immediately began arguing incessantly in the parking lot.

Chen Li didn't bother with the farce any longer. He quickly sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

Through the rearview mirror, he saw Qin Xiaomeng curled up in the seat with tear stains still on her face. Her pitiful appearance softened his heart.

He sighed; after all, he couldn't bring himself to be cruel enough to leave her here.

The car slowly drove out of the parking lot, leaving the noise and disgrace far behind.

After returning to Chen Li's School, he parked the car on the side of the road and signaled for Qin Xiaomeng to get out.

However, she remained curled up in the seat, making no move to leave.

Chen Li turned back in confusion, only then seeing her condition clearly—her already thin clothes had been torn to shreds, and half of her rounded, snowy-white skin was almost completely exposed.

She tried in vain to cover herself with her hands, but she couldn't hide the revealing sight.

"Chen Li..."

Her voice carried a sob. "Can you take me to buy some clothes? In this state, I can't go back to the Dormitory at all..."

Chen Li sighed. Indeed, letting her go back to School alone in this state would be too cruel.

Helplessly, he restarted the car and drove toward the nearest Shopping Mall.

Arriving at the Shopping Mall parking lot, Chen Li told her to wait in the car while he walked quickly into the mall, picked out two sets of sportswear, and checked out.

As long as it covered her, it didn't matter what kind of clothes they were.

Qin Xiaomeng quickly changed in the car and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked timidly at Chen Li: "Chen Li, could you... take me to get something to eat?"

Chen Li was amused by her words: "Can't you go eat by yourself?"

"I... I don't have a single penny on me."

She lowered her head, her voice getting smaller. "And I'm a little scared. What if they're still nearby..."

Seeing her pitiful look, with the swelling on her face still visible, Chen Li's heart softened after all. He would just treat it as helping a friend in distress.

At her request, they went to a Hotpot Restaurant.

Seeing the way Qin Xiaomeng inhaled the food, Chen Li finally believed she was truly starving.

After eating her fill, she began to recount today's ordeal in fragments—it was nothing more than the wife finding her and publicly humiliating and beating her.

At the end, she gave a self-deprecating smile: "It's finally over."

Her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Chen Li, an indiscernible look flashing in her eyes.

After the meal, Chen Li drove her back to School. It was late when they arrived, and the car slowly stopped under the shadows of the trees near the School gate.

Qin Xiaomeng unbuckled her seatbelt and suddenly leaned over to hug Chen Li.

The girl's soft chest pressed tightly against his, and the unique fresh scent of a young girl lingered at the tip of his nose.

"Chen Li,"

She summoned her courage and whispered in his ear, "Thank you for helping me today.

If you're willing... I'm yours tonight."

After speaking, she raised her flushed face and gazed at him with burning eyes.

Just a nod, and he could have this girl tonight.

Looking at the swelling on her delicate face that hadn't completely faded,

and the curves faintly visible under the sportswear, a certain part of Chen Li involuntarily had a primal reaction.

Seeing her current state, he ultimately pushed her away gently: "I'm tired today. You should go back."

Feeling his body's reaction, Qin Xiaomeng felt a secret joy and obediently got out of the car.

Walking back to the Dormitory, she was already planning to dress up and find him again once the injuries on her face healed.

After parting with Qin Xiaomeng, Chen Li was left with an unbearable desire from her teasing and immediately drove back to the Villa.

Pushing open the door, he saw Meng Yu just coming out of the bathroom.

Droplets of water still hung from her damp hair, her fair skin glowed under the lights, and her silk nightgown outlined her graceful curves.

Without a word, Chen Li stepped forward and picked her up.

"Ah... Hubby..."

Meng Yu cried out in surprise. Before she could react, she was gently placed on the sofa... Chen Li leaned down to kiss her lips, his fingertips already reaching into the neckline of her nightgown.

Under his practiced teasing, Meng Yu's body soon went soft... (One hundred thousand words omitted here)
