Chapter 692: Chapter 692

Jiang Xin struggled to open the door of the single dormitory while supporting Li Zhibin, finally managing to get him inside.

She helped Li Zhibin onto the sofa and then closed the door.

She poured a cup of warm water from the thermos.

"Zhibin, have some water first. I’ll get a wet towel to wipe your face, then you can rest. How did you drink so much today? I didn’t see you drink much, just two glasses, yet you’re this drunk?"

Jiang Xin fed him the water.

Li Zhibin chuckled foolishly, leaning closer to Jiang Xin with one arm tightly around her.

"Jiang Xin, I can’t hold my liquor, I never drink. I’m not lying... Jiang Xin, I can’t... drink. I love you so much, do you know how much I love you?"

The smell of alcohol was overwhelming.

Jiang Xin realized that Li Zhibin’s proximity was a bit too close; the two of them were nearly embracing each other.

Though they’d been dating, they never crossed any boundaries.

Li Zhibin always behaved gentlemanly, and Jiang Xin didn’t want others to think poorly of her.

She strictly adhered to rules, afraid of being looked down upon for crossing any lines.

They had never gone beyond simple gestures; even holding hands meant just touching fingers lightly.

Back then, even if dating, couples couldn’t walk hand in hand or arm in arm in public; most couples maintained a sense of distance.

Otherwise, if seen, people would gossip.

Li Zhibin was clearly drunk today, losing his senses, or he wouldn’t act .

Jiang Xin hurriedly pushed Li Zhibin away.

"You’re drunk! Come, I’ll help you to bed so you can rest, I need to go, I have things to do."

Seeing Li Zhibin in such a state, Jiang Xin couldn’t just leave him.

She thought of helping him to the bed so he could rest well, then she could leave.

Li Zhibin hooked his arm around Jiang Xin’s shoulder, drunkenly spouting sweet words.

"Jiang Xin, you’re my heart, you’re my treasure. Marrying you would be my greatest fortune."

Jiang Xin couldn’t withstand Li Zhibin’s advances; for her, even though she and Qin Dazhuang were well-matched, neither of them were expressive.

Even if they liked each other, at most they’d say something like ’You’re good’ or ’You’re pretty,’ but would never utter those words that make one feel tingly all over.

Jiang Xin felt that Li Zhibin, drunk, seemed like a different person; although women love hearing sweet talk.

But Jiang Xin was a decent woman, and hearing such words, though she liked them.

Still, they made her feel uneasy, like her skin was crawling, a bit uncomfortable.

Hurriedly, she wanted to help Li Zhibin so she could leave.

Unfortunately, she didn’t notice Li Zhibin had a calculating look in his eyes as he rested one hand on her shoulder.

Li Zhibin looked at the big bed nearby, pretended to lose balance, and fell onto it, pulling Jiang Xin with him.

The whole person zealously pressed against her.

"Xin, Xin, I love you. I can’t live without you."

His large hands were roaming all over.

Jiang Xin was helplessly restrained by his body and strength, blushing in distress.

They weren’t married yet, if anything happened and people found out, she’d have no reputation left.

Jiang Xin forcefully pushed at Li Zhibin.

"Li Zhibin, get a grip, don’t be reckless, we’re not married yet."

Li Zhibin had been pondering this in the Jiang family’s living room earlier, wanting to seize the moment and force things faster, so Jiang Xin had no choice but to marry him.

Otherwise, rumors would put Jiang Xin under pressure, forcing her to marry quickly.

No need for long waits then.

So he deliberately drank two glasses of wine - actually, Li Zhibin could hold his liquor well, he’d never be this drunk.

He just knew how to act; he was one to easily blush when drunk, but in fact, he had a good tolerance.

He used this opportunity to have Jiang Xin take him home, hoping to keep her there.

After all, if a man forcefully acted, a woman couldn’t match his strength.

Jiang Xin sensed Li Zhibin becoming more reckless, and when he started undressing her.

She became completely anxious.

They weren’t married yet; if she ended up with Li Zhibin , what would that mean?

Her parents taught her, especially for women, to remain pure and never disgrace themselves, even though she was divorced, she had never done such a thing, casually being with a man.

She wasn’t a casual woman.

Even when she and Qin Dazhuang were in love, holding hands was all they did.

Only after marriage did they truly become a couple and have intimate relations.

This situation made Jiang Xin frantic.

Initially struggled lightly, but as Li Zhibin’s actions became excessive, Jiang Xin started to punch and kick.

But unfortunately, she was already subdued by Li Zhibin.

With strong physical strength, Li Zhibin had the upper hand if he used force.

Moreover, Li Zhibin was premeditated.

"Li Zhibin, let me go, let me go."

"Li Zhibin! You bastard. Don’t make me hate you."

Jiang Xin’s tears started to flow.

"Li Zhibin, I beg you, let me go. We can’t do this."

Jiang Xin felt despair, Li Zhibin was like a madman, driven by Jiang Xin’s vigorous resistance, his eyes red, blushing and flushed.

He slapped Jiang Xin hard on the face.

Leaving Jiang Xin dazed, lying nearly motionless.

"You ungrateful—Jiang Xin, today you’ll be mine; marry me willingly."

Li Zhibin’s face twisted, tearing at Jiang Xin’s clothes.

Just at the critical moment.

The door was slammed open.

Fang Xiaohui wielded a broom, fiercely striking Li Zhibin’s head.

"You damned beast, you’re trying to bully a decent woman. You dare bully my sister, I’ll handle you."

Strike after strike, it was vicious; Li Zhibin was completely dazed, rolling off Jiang Xin.

Unprepared, those broom strikes landed right on Li Zhibin’s head, leaving scratches on his face.

The whole person was a bit stunned.

Fang Xiaohui pulled up Jiang Xin, "Let me tell you, you scumbag, don’t even think about marrying my sister. If you dare to come to our house again, I’ll ensure you regret it. Come, Second Sister, let’s go home."

Dragging Jiang Xin away.

She was there to help, not to ruin Jiang Xin.

It was working hours, and there were hardly any people in the dormitory.

Even if they were causing a racket, likely no one would hear. If they ran into someone off work later, and Li Zhibin retaliated, Jiang Xin’s reputation would be destroyed.

She definitely didn’t want Jiang Xin to truly marry this idiot, not for Jiang Xin’s sake.

It was about maintaining control over Jiang Xin’s money for herself. Read full story at novel-fire.net
