Wang Chengcai's face twisted into a sinister grin as he revealed a smug smile.
The reason he acted so brazenly and dared to assault Xu Qianqian was that she was a widow.
Her husband and in-laws were all dead, and she had no one to help her, nor did any villager dare to speak a word of justice for her.
Furthermore, Wang Chengcai's father was the village head, so Xu Qianqian, a woman, couldn't stir up much trouble, and couldn't cause a big scene. That was why Wang Chengcai was so bold and fearless.
"Hehe, Xu Qianqian, if you're smart, you'll obediently submit to me," he said.
"Otherwise, you and your daughter will both meet a grisly end," Wang Chengcai said, his hands reaching towards Xu Qianqian's fair thighs.
Bang.
Chu Yang kicked the bedroom door open and charged in, yelling angrily at the scene before him, "Wang Chengcai, stop it right now!"
Wang Chengcai heard a loud noise as the door was kicked open and Chu Yang stormed in, furious. Caught by surprise, his face turned ashen and his eyes fixed on Chu Yang, "Chu Yang, if you don't want to die, get the hell out of here," he snarled.
"Otherwise, I will kill you and your whole family."
Chu Yang cursed angrily, "Wang Chengcai, you've got some nerve."
"In broad daylight, assaulting an honest woman."
"Today, we'll settle both new and old scores," he declared.
"Coming to settle scores with me? I think you're courting death," Wang Chengcai said with a look of disdain.
Before Wang Chengcai could finish speaking, he suddenly lunged at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang, with quick reflexes, threw a punch that struck Wang Chengcai's nose.
Bang.
Wang Chengcai was laid out by Chu Yang's punch, his nose bridge broken, blood gushing all over his face. Struggling, he got up from the ground, "Chu Yang, you dare hit me, I won't let you go, I'll kill you... I'll kill you..."
Chu Yang kicked Wang Chengcai again.
Thump.
Wang Chengcai was kicked down by Chu Yang again, sprawling on the ground.
Chu Yang grabbed a chair and smashed it down on Wang Chengcai with force.
Bang.
Crackling.
The chair shattered into pieces, and Wang Chengcai screamed like a pig being slaughtered, numerous bones in his body broken.
"It hurts... it's killing me... Chu Yang... you damned bastard... stop it at once... I won't let you go..." Wang Chengcai screamed miserably, continually threatening Chu Yang.
Chu Yang chuckled coldly, his icy, merciless gaze fixed on Wang Chengcai.
Wang Chengcai's hands fumbled around, grabbing the edge of a table as he tried to stand up.
Chu Yang kicked him down again.
Thump.
Wang Chengcai fell to the ground once more.
Chu Yang said coldly, "Wang Chengcai, you like women, don't you?"
"From now on, I'll make sure you'll never be able to touch a woman again."
As Chu Yang finished speaking, he kicked out with all his might, landing a blow between Wang Chengcai's legs, right on his manhood.
Ah.
Wang Chengcai clutched his groin and let out a pig-like scream of agony before fainting from the pain.
Chu Yang grabbed Wang Chengcai and dragged him out like a dead pig, throwing him out into the courtyard.
Returning to the bedroom, Chu Yang saw Xu Qianqian tied to the bed, he untied the ropes binding Xu Qianqian and removed the cloth stuffed in her mouth, "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, as long as I am here, I absolutely won't let you get hurt."
Xu Qianqian sobbed once and threw herself into Chu Yang's arms, hugging him tightly, "Chu Yang, thankfully you arrived in time."
"I was truly about to be scared to death."
"If it wasn't for you, my daughter and I would have been in disaster, thank you so much." Xu Qianqian hugged Chu Yang tightly, her body pressed against his.
At this moment, Xu Qianqian felt an unprecedented sense of security.
Chu Yang felt the softness of Xu Qianqian's body pressed against his chest and patted her smooth and delicate back, comforting the frightened Xu Qianqian.
"Wah wah wah..." The cries of Sisi brought Xu Qianqian back to her senses, and her emotions stabilized quite a bit.
It was then that Xu Qianqian realized she was only in her underwear, holding Chu Yang closely, and their posture was somewhat ambiguous.
Xu Qianqian quickly let go of Chu Yang, picked up the child and gently soothed her, "Baby be good... Don't cry... Mommy's here... Uncle Chu Yang has already scared off the bad guy..."
As Xu Qianqian said this, her eyes swelled up red, and tears dripped down, she felt immensely grateful that Chu Yang had arrived in time; otherwise, the fate of her and her daughter... was unthinkable...
Sisi's crying gradually subsided and she fell asleep in Xu Qianqian's arms.
Xu Qianqian carefully placed Sisi on the bed, wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and looked at Chu Yang with gratitude: "Chu Yang, I really want to thank you."
"I… I don't even know what to say... You're the lifesaver of me and my daughter... I don't have much to repay you with... When my daughter grows up, I'll have her take care of you... I'll... Let me kowtow to you..."
As Xu Qianqian spoke, she was about to kneel down and kowtow to Chu Yang.
"Sister-in-law, you mustn't do this."
"Three years ago my parents were sick, it was you who alone pulled the cart to take my parents to the hospital in the middle of the night, saving their lives, you are my lifesaver."
Chu Yang, upon seeing Xu Qianqian kneel down, hurriedly reached out to help her up.
He caught Xu Qianqian's arms with both hands.
Xu Qianqian's face turned red all of a sudden, and they were both caught off guard, frozen in the moment.
A few minutes later.
With her face flushed and breathing a little heavily, Xu Qianqian whispered, "Chu Yang... what... what are you doing... quickly let go of me..."
"Ah..." Chu Yang came to his senses.
His hand was still placed where it shouldn't be.
Chu Yang immediately withdrew his hand: "Sister-in-law, I didn't do it on purpose."
"Oh? So you did it on purpose then?" Xu Qianqian said.
Chu Yang hastily waved his hands: "No no no... It wasn't intentional..."
"Hehe." Xu Qianqian suddenly giggled a few times
"I was just teasing you."
Phew.
Chu Yang exhaled in relief.
Xu Qianqian turned serious all of a sudden and asked Chu Yang, "Chu Yang, do you find sister-in-law attractive?"
Chu Yang took a breath and looked at Xu Qianqian carefully.
Xu Qianqian was one meter sixty, neither tall nor short, with a well-proportioned upper and lower body.
Even though she'd had a child, her stomach had not a trace of excess fat, nor any stretch marks, smooth and delicate, like a beautiful piece of art.
And Xu Qianqian had both the innocence of a young girl and the mature charm of a beautiful married woman, these two entirely different qualities blended perfectly together, unquestionably fatal for a man.
Gulp.
Chu Yang swallowed and nodded: "Attractive."
Xu Qianqian's face became even redder and hotter, she bit her lip firmly, and made up her mind: "Chu Yang... then you... stay here tonight."
