Chapter 104: Chapter 104 “Ji Tingyang, you lunatic!

Xiao Yu and Ji Yuqiao’s figures kept appearing in Wen Li’s mind as they walked around the campus.

Ji Yuqiao used to pester Xiao Yu before, but back then, Xiao Yu paid no attention to her, giving Wen Li a sense of security. Therefore, Wen Li wasn’t worried and chose him firmly despite many people trying to stop her.

Wen Li had been jealous because Xiao Yu accepted Ji Yuqiao’s birthday gift and had not spoken to him all winter break.

It wasn’t until school started again that Xiao Yu found her.

He explained to her about the watch and that he had paid back all the money he owed to Ji Yuqiao, and now there was no relationship between them.

Only then did Wen Li forgive him.

She also heard that Ji Yuqiao, in her pursuit of Xiao Yu, had joined the school’s math competition.

At first, she didn’t care at all because she knew that no matter what Ji Yuqiao did, Xiao Yu would not be moved by her.

She had always believed this so firmly.

However, when she came out of the library last night and was on her way back to the dorm, she happened to see the two of them alone together.

Although they were not doing anything, just simply walking around the campus, the expression on Xiao Yu’s face was completely devoid of the resistance he had shown before.

Xiao Yu no longer repelled Ji Yuqiao?

At this thought, Wen Li’s heart felt as if it was being tightly gripped, causing her some pain.

Her rosy complexion turned a few shades paler as she looked down at her phone, which displayed the message she had sent to Xiao Yu.

[There are a few new movies out recently, are you free tonight? Let’s go watch a movie?]

Xiao: [I have to go to class with the competition group tonight, I’m afraid I can’t make it, sorry.]

Wen Li’s hand holding the phone tightened, her fingertips turning white.

Even though she knew he was just going to class, the thought of him meeting Ji Yuqiao in the classroom and possibly engaging in an enthusiastic discussion was like a stone weighing on her chest, oppressively uncomfortable.

She pursed her lips and proposed another time.

[What about tomorrow night then?]

Xiao Yu seemed to be very busy and hadn’t replied after half an hour.

Wen Li’s eyes reddened, and her fingers slid across the phone screen, inadvertently clicking on Ji Zeqiu’s chat page.

[Zeqiu, are you free right now, I…]

She had typed half a sentence in the chat box when Wen Li suddenly came to her senses and deleted everything she had written.

She had gotten used to venting to Ji Zeqiu whenever she felt aggrieved by Ji Tingyang and Xiao Yu.

Almost every time, Ji Zeqiu was willing to do anything she asked of him.

Wen Li still remembered how Ji Zeqiu had even argued with Ji Tingyang over her when Ji Tingyang first confined her in the villa.

“She is a living person, not your pet, Ji Tingyang. What right do you have to keep her trapped in the villa forever!” Ji Zeqiu’s back hand veins bulged as he clenched Ji Tingyang’s collar fiercely and cursed.

“This has nothing to do with you.” Ji Tingyang’s back was tight, his eyes gathered with crimson fury, radiating a cold and violent aura.

His eyes were as black as ink, the madness in their depths nearly twisted.

“Ji Tingyang, do you realize that restricting someone’s freedom like this is illegal!” Ji Zeqiu’s eyes swirled with rage.

However, Ji Tingyang was entirely unconcerned, “Do you think she would go to the police?”

Wen Li’s parents were dazzled by money. When they found out that their daughter was going to be with the CEO of Ji’s, they were thrilled and encouraged her to accept a life of wealth and privilege.

Even Father Wen was so excited that he went to work for Ji’s.

Her family used moral coercion to make Wen Li obey Ji Tingyang’s words.

Wen Li didn’t dare go to the police.

“Or are you saying…” Ji Tingyang’s mouth curled up into a mocking smile, his expression becoming even colder as he looked at Ji Zeqiu, “do you want to take me into custody?”

Ji Zeqiu was startled.

After a long moment, he almost hissed through clenched teeth, “Ji Tingyang, you madman!”

“That’s right, I have gone mad.” Ji Tingyang stared at Wen Li, his chest heaving with a pathologically obsessive desire.

Desperately wanting to possess that bit of warmth.

Wen Li was frightened by his gaze and hid behind Ji Zeqiu with fear.

Watching her small hand clutching at Ji Zeqiu’s shirt corner, the color in Ji Tingyang’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he said to the butler beside him, “Take Wen Li back to her room.”

“Don’t even think about it, I’m taking her away today!” Ji Zeqiu shielded her behind him, “I’ll never let her be trapped by you.”

Ji Tingyang said coldly, “Ji Zeqiu, are you really just trying to help, or are your thoughts the same as mine? You know it in your heart.”

Ji Zeqiu’s expression stiffened as if his inner thoughts had been prodded.

While he was still in a daze, Ji Tingyang yanked Wen Li out from behind him, his grip on her arm seemingly strong enough to break it.

The butler took Wen Li upstairs.

Sounds of a fierce fight echoed from the living room, accompanied by intermittent pained grunts.

After that, Ji Zeqiu couldn’t bring himself to report Ji Tingyang nor could he bear to watch Wen Li suffer under his gaze, so he moved out of the villa.

“Wow, isn’t this friend on your WeChat Ji Zeqiu?!”

A surprised shout from the roommate pulled Wen Li’s thoughts back.

Wen Li quickly locked her phone screen, her expression panicked, “You saw wrong, it’s not…”

“That WeChat profile picture looks so much like Ji Zeqiu’s, it can’t really be him, can it?!” Her roommate’s eyes widened in excitement, gripping Wen Li’s arm eagerly.

Ji Zeqiu had accidentally revealed his WeChat page on a variety show, and many fans remembered it.

And the profile picture of Wen Li’s friend was exactly the same as Ji Zeqiu’s.

There were many fans of Ji Zeqiu, and this roommate of Wen Li’s was one of them.

“Just tell me secretly, I promise I won’t tell anyone else!” the roommate pleaded earnestly with Wen Li.

Wen Li hesitated, “Then you mustn’t tell anyone else, okay?”

The roommate nodded excitedly, “I promise!”

“I met him before he debuted, we are just ordinary friends.” Wen Li briefly shared with her the story of how they met.

“So you two are that close? Can you please help me get an autographed photo next time?” her roommate looked at her with pleading, moist eyes, begging, “Please!”

“I… I’ll ask him next time I see him,” Wen Li hesitated.

Since the last time Ji Zeqiu suddenly came to her school, she hadn’t seen him again.

She didn’t know if it was because he was too busy filming, but the several messages she recently sent to Ji Zeqiu received no reply.

Ji Zeqiu had always replied to her messages promptly, she had never experienced this before.

Wen Li felt a sense of unease for no apparent reason.

“Alright, alright, you must ask him for me!” her roommate happily spun around a few times, then rushed Wen Li to change clothes.

Wen Li forced a laugh, feeling unsure about the matter.

However, just a few days later, she would unexpectedly encounter Ji Zeqiu again in a club where a friend was celebrating their birthday.

Not only Ji Zeqiu, but also the tall and upright Ji Tingyang beside him.
