“Smart! It seems that you do care a lot about that Shangguan Ning woman, as the rumor goes.”


  Tang Shunian had a smile on his face, but he did not seem delighted, instead jealousy was clearly evident in his eyes.

  His identity was fake, because the real Yu Mo had been killed by him. Yu Mo’s son was under his cultivation and he was going to bring him up as his heir.

  But he was, after all, not his real son and he did not have a wife, either.

  Jing Yichen had everything that he did not, so he had always wanted to make Jing Yichen become as poor as he was!

  Jing Yichen looked at Tang Shunian with murder in his eyes. His voice was low and cold, sounding like the ambassador of hell. “If you dare to touch her, you would suffer so much pain that you would wish you were dead! Do you think that your past life was terrible? No, you are wrong, because you are about to taste something that is worse than pain, and after that, you will not be able to live for even one more second!”


  “Oh, really? Then I wish that I could taste that!”


  Tang Shunian was mentally disturbed, and had been for a long time. He did not fear death, nor did he fear any torment, just as Jing Yichen used to feel eleven years ago. Only pain could make him feel that he was still alive.

  “I heard that you have a strong obsession towards cleanness, and you can not be touched by either men or women. Even a tug at your clothes would cause you to puke. What a coincidence! I have that same problem. But the only difference between us is that whoever touches me, dies!”


  Tang Shunian pulled out a cigarette, and lit it with a gold-plated, limited version lighter. He took in a deep drag and a joyful expression hovered over his face.

  “But there is one more difference between us. You can’t be touched by anyone except for Shangguan Ning. I have to say that you are way too lucky. So lucky that I feel envious of you.”


  A ring of white smoke engulfed him while he was spilling what had been hidden inside his heart for so long.

  “For the past few years, I have been getting more and more obsessive towards cleanliness that I can’t even touch women anymore. I have lived for dozens of years as a monk, haunted by nightmares. Only killing people makes me feel good. And it is all because of the Jing Family, especially Jing Zhongxiu. I can’t even use my own name and only I understand how much pain I have experienced during the past few years!”


  “But you, on the other hand, got married and even fathered a son. I have not met this woman who cured your problem. Maybe she is gentle and beautiful enough to cure my problem, too. I have almost forgotten what a woman tastes like. Is her body firm and soft? Is her voice attractive? I have seen her pictures. She looks elegant, and poised!”


  Jing Yichen stood frozen as he tried to curb his urge to kill the man in front of him. Had it not been for the gun aimed at him and Tiger, he would have broken Tang Shunian’s neck and pulled out his every tooth by now.

  Tang Shunian laughed like a maniac.

  “Oh, are you angry? Didn’t you always wonder why I placed so many people around your apartment but never touched your beautiful woman?” A gentle expression formed in his eyes.

  “This matter is between us. I will not spare Jing Zhongxiu, and you have to die as well because you are his son. But Shangguan Ning is just a woman, a very beautiful woman. How can I kill her so easily before I even touch her? I got my men to snap some pictures of her. Look, I even have her as my phone’s wallpaper!”


  Tang Shunian showed the phone to Jing Yichen.

  Although there was a distance of several meters between them, Jing Yichen could tell clearly that Shangguan Ning’s picture was on Tang Shunian’s phone!

  This was why Tang Shunian had his men wandering about in the Landscape Compound. They were snapping pictures of Shangguan Ning!

  But after knowing the truth, Jing Yichen became even more furious than he had been earlier.

  He had been pampering Shangguan Ning and taking care of her ever since he got to know her. He was even jealous of Mu Qing checking her medically.

  He was very stingy in this aspect. He absolutely did not allow anyone to lay eyes upon his wife!

  Hence, it was really tough for him to accept that there was another man using his wife’s photo as his wallpaper and looking at it every single day. It was possible that there were numerous photos of Shangguan Ning in Tang Shunian’s phone.

  It was a clear violation of Shangguan Ning’s privacy!

  And a humiliation to him as her husband!

  Jing Yichen’s heart hurt, tremendously. He hated it when Shangguan Ning was bullied by someone, even when it was just a photo!

  The anger and heartache had replaced his discomfort due to the previous, dark memories. He felt the fury arising from deep within his heart.

  If he was not able to keep Shangguan Ning well, he would feel very guilty and hate himself forever.

  Just as how Jing Zhongxiu failed to keep Zhao Qing safe. She had an accident because of another woman. He hated himself for that for years, and even till the present day, he could not forgive himself and refuse to lay a finger on any other woman.

  Jing Yichen had once sworn that he would never be like this father. He was going to make sure that his wife lived well and happily, always.

  His hands bunched up into fists.

  “I am warning you, Tang Shunian, don’t even think of touching my wife!”


  Jing Yichen’s eyes had turned red. He looked like a lion that was at the verge of attacking.

  But no matter how furious he became, he did not lose control because of what Tang Shunian said. He knew that Shangguan Ning had always been a very careful woman. She had enough protection around her. He knew that she would not be caught easily by Tang Shunian.

  “Do you love her that much? Poor Tang Yun, my poor sister! She loved you so much and dreamt about becoming the Lady of the Jing Family, day and night. Unfortunately, you did not even spare a thought for her and loved only Shangguan Ning. We shared the same parents and I didn’t hold any grudge against her. I never intended for her to die in my plan. But she had made up her mind to marry into the Jing Family, because she was obsessed with your wealth and looks. In the end, she died and I couldn’t help her.”
