Chapter 428 - 426: Get Out, All of You Get Out
"Like me? What do you like about me?" Zhou Mochen’s gaze was as cold as a blade. "Do you like playing me for a complete fool?"
’Wasn’t he a fool!’
They were flirting right under his nose, carrying on an affair behind his back. The affection that spilled from their every glance—he had actually managed to turn a blind eye to it all. He told himself over and over to trust her, not to make her unhappy over something so small. She said they were just ordinary friends, and he actually believed her without a shred of doubt.
’He’d been deceived before, yet he still believed her words!’
Xu Su once again felt the sting of being misunderstood, but this time, she didn’t have the confidence to defend herself. What happened today left her feeling she didn’t even have the right to stand before him.
Seeing her speechless expression, Zhou Mochen could no longer contain the fury on his face. A muscle in his jaw twitched uncontrollably. "Have I told you or not? You can act out, you can throw a fit, but don’t you dare cross my bottom line! Xu Su, do you not know what my bottom line is?"
He strode toward her, his aura utterly terrifying. Xu Su couldn’t help but take another half-step back, retreating right into a corner.
Leaning crookedly against the wall, Shen Chen pushed himself up from the floor to block his path. "If you’re angry, take it out on me. Don’t touch a woman—"
Before he could finish, Zhou Mochen sent him crashing to the ground with a single punch. He fell and went silent.
"..." If the timing weren’t so wrong, Xu Su might have even laughed out loud. But having felt the sharp gust from Zhou Mochen’s punch, she couldn’t bring herself to smile at all.
Zhou Mochen didn’t even glance at the unconscious Shen Chen on the floor. He leaned in close to Xu Su and whispered, "As expected of my Susu. You’re just that charming. Look, you’ve even tamed a playboy like him into this state. How about it? Feeling a sense of accomplishment?"
"Don’t be like this," Xu Su’s eyelashes trembled. His sarcastic words struck her so hard she could barely stand. She reached out to grab his arm for support, but he jerked it away.
He smiled and said, "You have the guts to betray me, so why are you trembling in fear now? Xu Su, does it feel good, playing games between two men?"
"You’ve misunderstood. It’s not like that! Zhou Mochen, listen to me!"
Xu Su told herself not to mind his words and rushed forward to hug him. "I didn’t know Shen Chen would do something like this to me. He found my private room and said he wanted to talk. I didn’t want to discuss those things in front of other people..."
"Talk? Do you not know what I’ve always forbidden?" Zhou Mochen’s smile vanished as he said coldly,
"Do you remember what you promised me? Just the night before last, you promised you wouldn’t have any contact with him. And today? You’re here holding his hand to get a room. I’ve caught you red-handed, and you’re still making excuses. Xu Su, in your eyes, am I just some gullible fool who believes everything you say?"
"You always have an excuse, always a reason," Zhou Mochen said, grabbing the nape of Xu Su’s neck and forcing her head to face the bed. His voice was sharp as a knife. "Why rack your brain for lies? Why not just tell me directly what the two of you did on this?"
Xu Su wanted to shake her head, but his grip on her neck was too tight. She struggled. "It’s not like that. I didn’t..."
"Didn’t what? Didn’t come into the room with him? Didn’t get into bed with him?"
With a scornful expression, Zhou Mochen threw her onto the bed and covered her body without hesitation. "Don’t you like playing with men? Want to try what it feels like to sleep with two men in one bed?"
"No, I don’t want to!" Xu Su wrapped her arms around Zhou Mochen’s neck. "Can you please calm down and let me finish..."
"Say what?"
Zhou Mochen pried her fingers open one by one and sneered. "Listen to you tell me how he fucked you? How he made you so willing to betray me just to get mixed up with him that you couldn’t even wait two days after I found out, so eager to come get a room again?"
Xu Su’s eyes widened. She stared at him in disbelief, as if she had lost all her strength in an instant.
Zhou Mochen effortlessly threw her hands aside, his eyes bloodshot. "Why won’t you just admit it? The night before last, you stood in front of me, terrified I would go out and hurt him. You weren’t even afraid when a gun was pointed at your head. You protected him with your life, yet you still told me you two were innocent."
"Xu Su, what do you take me for?" he gritted his teeth. "I love you. I love you so much, but what in the hell do you take me for!"
Zhou Mochen reached out and pulled her into his arms, his face a twisted mask of anger and heartbreak. He lowered his head and covered the lips of the girl in his embrace, his kiss fierce and frantic.
"Is he better than me, Xu Su? How is he better than me? You let him touch you. How dare you let him touch you!"
Xu Su flailed, slapping and pushing at him, but it was useless. Nothing could stop it. Whether it was crying or struggling, it was all useless when the man refused to stop.
On this very same bed, she had been pinned down by Shen Chen just two hours ago, with no chance to resist. Now, she was being treated the exact same way by Zhou Mochen. In that moment, Xu Su’s anger and grief completely overwhelmed her reason.
She screamed and kicked with all her might, cursing furiously without any regard for her image. "Let go of me! Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me! Zhou Mochen, you bastard!"
"Why can’t I touch you?" Zhou Mochen pinned her arms and legs, his cold, sharp eyes sweeping over the tips of her reddened ears. "He can touch you, but I can’t? Xu Su, does he love you as much as I do? I love you this much. Isn’t that enough? Are you still not satisfied?"
"Get out! Both of you, get out!" Xu Su beat against him desperately, screaming in hysterics, "I don’t want you to love me like this! I hate that you love me like this! Zhou Mochen, I hate you!"
Zhou Mochen froze, all his movements ceasing. A rare look of bewilderment appeared in his eyes. His grip unconsciously loosened. Xu Su immediately scrambled out from under him and, with a backhand, swung a slap across his face. A perfect, red handprint appeared starkly on his cheek.
The room fell completely silent.
"Are you done with your madness?"
Xu Su looked at her own reddened palm, slowly curling her fingers into a fist. She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "If you’re still willing to listen to my explanation, I will tell you everything that happened today, exactly as it was."
"If you’re not willing to listen, or if you think I’m just making up lies to deceive you, and you want to break up with me..." She paused, her trembling fingertips gripping the corner of the blanket. "I have no objection."
Zhou Mochen’s head remained turned to the side from the force of the slap, unmoving. His expression gradually turned wretched. His bloodshot eyes welled up, and a tear traced a path down his nose, hung at the tip, and slowly dripped off...
Seeing him like this, a sharp pain flared in Xu Su’s heart. She clutched her chest and doubled over in pain, tears blurring her vision. She tried to hold it in, but she couldn’t any longer and broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Zhou Mochen, you bastard... How could you say those things to me? How could you do that to me..."
When Shen Chen had brazenly molested her, she had felt only an overwhelming rage. But facing Zhou Mochen, beyond the anger, she felt an immense sense of grievance.
They were the most intimate of lovers. How could he treat her the same way Shen Chen had?
