I Have A Sword

Chapter 399: Please Be Gentle I’m Scared of Pain

Ye Guan thrust the chopstick in his hand toward the auburn-haired young woman's forehead. The latter's pupils constricted, and her face turned pale with despair; she could only watch as the chopstick made a beeline for her forehead.

I'm dead... the auburn-haired young woman thought. I actually provoked such a ruthless person.

Just then, Su Zi's voice echoed. "Ye Guan..."

The chopstick stopped about half an inch away from the auburn-haired young woman's forehead. Ye Guan turned to look at Su Zi.

Su Zi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Can you spare her?"

Ye Guan nodded. "I can."

He put the chopstick away and walked up to Su Zi.

Su Zi breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed Ye Guan's hand, feeling somewhat touched.

"Thank you," she said. Ye Guan wasn't the type to respect those disrespecting him, so it was rare for him to stand down against those daring enough to declare their intentions to kill him.

The auburn-haired young woman was left trembling incessantly on the ground. She truly felt like she was about to die just a few moments ago, and extreme fear had gripped her heart. It was her first time encountering such a ruthless man capable of killing without hesitation.

The commotion had alerted the staffers of the Boundless Club. Manager Mo rushed over with a group of bodyguards.

"Manager Mo, please clean this up," said Su Zi to Manager Mo. Before Manager Mo could reply, Su Zi took out a card and handed it over to Manager Mo. "Please register me as a Diamond VIP member."

Manager Mo’s eyes lit up. She accepted the card and said, "Leave it to me."

She gave a few orders, and the corpses were soon dragged away.

Gu Yunman walked up to the auburn-haired young woman and helped her up.

The auburn-haired young woman's eyes were filled with fear as she looked at Ye Guan.

Gu Yunman looked slightly angry as she said, "Young Master Ye, did you really have to kill them?"

Ye Guan frowned and replied, "Miss Yunman, I'm sure I look ruthless in your eyes, but you have yet to ask me why I was so ruthless this time. She has been targeting me since we saw each other.

"I had no plans of giving her any attention, but she went too far. She actually wanted to kill me just because of a small altercation between us. She wanted to kill me, so it is not strange that I want to kill her as well.

"In fact, she would have gotten the death sentence if this had happened where I live—no, her entire clan would have been annihilated as a result."

An idiot like the auburn-haired young woman would eventually offend the wrong person, and it would lead to the inevitable downfall of her entire clan.

"It seems that you are aware of her personality, yet you made no efforts in controlling or disciplining her, so you are partly at fault, too." Ye Guan said, "Honestly, I want to beat you up as well."

Gu Yunman glared at Ye Guan, and her chest heaved up and down in fury.

"I don't think it's a bad thing for her to get a beating. A good beating might curb her attitude and make her turn over a new leaf," Ye Guan added.

"Young Master Ye, it is true that she's been quite arrogant, but does she really deserve to die?" Gu Yunman asked.

Ye Guan stared deeply at Gu Yunman. A chopstick appeared in his hand, and he said coldly, "Say another word, and I'll kill you."

Gu Yunman froze. She was angry, but she went silent. Eventually, she took a deep breath and walked away with the auburn-haired young woman in her arms.

Just then, Su Zi suddenly said, "Wait!"

Gu Yunman turned to look at Su Zi.

Su Zi approached Gu Yunman and calmly said, "Miss Gu, our Su Family will no longer do any business with you."

"What are you talking about?" Gu Yunman stared at Su Zi in shock. "Are you sure about that? I'm sure you know how much your Su Family has paid to bid for that land in Yanjing. You..."

Su Zi shook her head and said, "Little Guan's actions are on behalf of my Su Family. If your Gu Family wants revenge, you can go ahead and target us."

With that, Su Zi tugged on Ye Guan's sleeve and walked away.

Gu Yunman stared quietly at their departing figures.

...

Ye Guan and Su Zi quickly left the Boundless Club.

"Sorry for the trouble I caused..." Ye Guan muttered, sounding apologetic.

"I really didn't like that girl as well, so it's fine," Su Zi smiled wryly and said, "What gives her the right to look down on you? Who does she think she is?"

Ye Guan hesitated before saying, "But your business..."

"It's fine." Su Zi replied, "We just won't earn as much as we would if we had cooperated with them."

Ye Guan was silent.

"Let’s go and eat," Su Zi grabbed Ye Guan's sleeve and dragged him all the way to a restaurant. Su Zi ordered a few dishes and some beer. Su Zi had been rambling on and on to Gu Yunman, so she hadn't really been able to eat. Now, she was starving.

"Can you drink?" Su Zi asked.

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Su Zi opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Ye Guan. She opened one for herself and clinked bottles with Ye Guan.

"Cheers!" she exclaimed before taking a big swig. The two ate and drank together; Su Zi had been drinking earlier, so it didn't take long for her face to become even redder than a tomato.

Su Zi opened another bottle and was about to drink it when Ye Guan said, "You're drunk. I don't think you should keep on drinking."

"No..." Su Zi muttered and shook her head. "Come on, cheers!"

She raised the bottle in her hand and took a massive swig of the alcohol straight from the bottle.

Ye Guan stared deeply at Su Zi and muttered, "If they're not going to do business with you, then—"

"Ye Guan!" Su Zi interrupted with a roar.

Ye Guan was stunned.

Su Zi glared at Ye Guan and asked, "Do you really think I'm angry with you?"

Ye Guan nodded.

Su Zi's gaze turned fierce as she roared, "Why would I be angry with you when they're the ones who started it? I'm angry not because I might have lost a business partner but because that girl has no right to disrespect you... who does she think she is?!"

Su Zi shook her head lightly and chuckled. "Ultimately, it's all because the Gu Family doesn't really care about my Su Family. If we were like the other bigger families, like the Qin Family or the Yang Family, would she dare to look down on you?"

Ye Guan was quiet.

Su Zi took out a card and handed it to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan was stunned, and he asked, "What are you doing?"

Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and said, "Though the Gu Family is not one of the four biggest families of Huaxia, they're still quite powerful. You killed their men and gave their young lady a beating. They won't let you go. This card contains enough money to last you a lifetime."

Ye Guan's heart filled with warmth as he stared at the card in Su Zi's hand.

"They'll take their anger out on your Su Family once I leave." Ye Guan pointed out.

Su Zi remained calm as she said, "Don’t worry, I can deal with them."

Ye Guan asked, "How?"

Su Zi fell silent before saying, "Don't worry about it. You should hurry up and leave Baiyun City. I'll go and look for you once the situation has settled down. My contact number is in your phone, so make sure not to lose your phone. However, you better not contact me until I contact you, do you understand? You—"

"Okay." Ye Guan interrupted with a nod. "Let's put that aside for now and continue eating."

Su Zi made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and said, "Okay, then. Cheers."

She clinked bottles with Ye Guan before taking another big swig.

Before she could take another swig, Ye Guan raised his hand and said, "Stop it."

Su Zi shook her head and downed the entire bottle in one go.

Ye Guan frowned.

Su Zi reached out for another bottle, but Ye Guan stopped her and said, "I'll get angry."

Su Zi looked at Ye Guan with her face even redder than a tomato. It took her a while to process Ye Guan's solemn expression, and when she realized that Ye Guan was truly going to get mad at her. She hiccuped and said, "I'm not going to drink anymore, then!"

Ye Guan nodded. "Let's go home."

He wanted to ask Manager Mo about the Boundless Master, but Su Zi was too drunk to be left alone.

Ye Guan and Su Zi left the restaurant.

They got into the car, and Su Zi leaned on Ye Guan's shoulder.

Before they reached Purple County, Su Zi suddenly said, "Stop the car."

The driver quickly stopped the car by the roadside.

"Let's go out and go on a stroll," Su Zi said to Ye Guan.

"Sure, why not?" Ye Guan replied with a nod.

They alighted and started walking with no destination in mind. Su Zi was drunk, so her footsteps were unsteady, so she had to hug Ye Guan's arm. The two looked like a sweet couple walking down the street.

Ye Guan tried to retract his arm upon sensing something soft, but Su Zi grabbed his arm, immobilizing him.

"I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to answer me honestly," said Su Zi.

"Sure." Ye Guan nodded.

"If you were asked to choose between Wanyu and me, who would you choose to be your girlfriend?" Su Zi asked.

Ye Guan froze, but he soon composed himself and said, "Can’t I choose the both of you? I mean, you two are just going to be my girlfriends, right?" contemporary romance

"No way." Su Zi glared at Ye Guan. "It doesn't work like that."

"Does the word girlfriend has any other meaning aside from a girl who is a friend?"

Su Zi nodded immediately and exclaimed, "Yes!"

Ye Guan was curious. "What is it?"

Su Zi thought about it before saying, "A girlfriend is closer."

Ye Guan asked, "Like a wife?"

"No." Su Zi shook her head. "A girlfriend is less than a wife but more than a friend."

Ye Guan was puzzled, and he couldn't help but ask, "What kind of relationship is that?"

Su Zi calmly said, "They're not married yet, but they can sleep with each other."

Ye Guan’s expression froze. The people of Milky Way really knows how to have fun!

"Back to my question," Su Zi stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Who would you choose?"

It had to be known that Su Zi's wasn't this courageous. However, Su Zi was currently under the influence of alcohol, and it gave her enough courage to ask such a question. Otherwise, Su Zi wouldn't dare to ask such a question even if it were to save her life.

Ye Guan pondered briefly before saying, "I'm already married."

Su Zi abruptly came to a halt and stared wide-eyed at Ye Guan.

"And I also have a few other women..." Ye Guan muttered.

Su Zi blinked and asked, "You also have a few other women?"

Ye Guan nodded.

"Pfft!" Su Zi burst out into laughter and cast a contemtuous gaze upon Ye Guan. "Who do you think you are? An emperor with three wives and four concubines? No wonder Wanyu told me that you talk nonsense sometimes!"

Ye Guan had no idea what to say. Fortunately, he noticed that Su Zi's gait had become quite unsteady from the alcohol, and it allowed him to change the topic.

"Let's go home," Ye Guan said.

Su Zi nodded. "Mmhm."

Ye Guan led Su Zi back to the apartment.

Su Zi rushed to the bathroom and started vomiting.

Ye Guan rushed to the bathroom and was stunned to find Su Zi covered in her own vomit. Ye Guan came to his senses and helped her up. He started wiping her down with a towel, but Su Zi suddenly hugged him and asked, "Are you leaving tomorrow?"

"Let's not talk about that right now. You should go to bed..." Ye Guan muttered. He carried Su Zi and placed her on her bed. He was about to turn around and walk away, but he stopped upon noticing that her clothes were emitting a rancid odor.

Ye Guan moved closer to Su Zi and started undressing her.

The drunk Su Zi noticed that someone was removing her clothes. She wanted to struggle at first, but she stopped upon realizing that Ye Guan was removing her clothes.

She was convinced that Ye Guan would leave her tomorrow, and she had no idea when they would see each other again, so she didn't resist. She relaxed, but her voice was trembling as she said, "Please... be gentle with me. I'm scared of pain..."

Ye Guan retracted his hands and covered her with a blanket.

"Sleep well," he said before turning around to leave.

Su Zi froze, and she hurriedly asked, "D-do you not want to do it?"

"Do what?" Ye Guan asked.

Su Zi blushed furiously. She pulled the blanket over her face and exclaimed, "I-I didn't say anything! Hurry up and leave!"

Ye Guan smiled and closed the door behind him.

He stumbled upon Mu Wanyu after taking just a few steps outside Su Zi's room.

Mu Wanyu looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you not going to sleep with her?"

Ye Guan flicked Mu Wanyu’s forehead with his fingers. "Get your mind out of the gutter."

Mu Wanyu seemed unfazed as she asked, "Why not?"

"I don't think I should take off the clothes of a woman I'm not ready to take care of for her entire life," Ye Guan replied. In Ye Guan's eyes, sleeping with someone else meant that they would be together for life.

However, Ye Guan didn't love Su Zi. Wouldn't he be donkey if he were to sleep with any random girl out there? In addition, Su Zi was drunk, and she most likely had no idea what she was doing at the moment.

Ye Guan wasn't going to take advantage of her.

Mu Wanyu fell silent at Ye Guan's reply.

Su Zi had heard their conversation, and her head drooped.

"She's drunk. I think you should sleep in the same room as her," Ye Guan said. He then walked over to Su Zi's back and took three files with him before heading out.

Mu Wanyu watched him leave before entering Su Zi's room. Su Zi's flushed face became even redder than an apple upon seeing Mu Wanyu. She covered her entire face with her blanket, but it seemed insuficient. In fact, she wanted to dig a hole and hide inside of it to save herself from the embarrassment.

It was a misunderstanding; she had actually misunderstood his intentions! Ye Guan had no intentions of doing anything to her, but she thought otherwise and had even asked him about it. Argh... I'm so annoyed—no, that was so embarrassing!
