Devil or Angel (GL) - Chapter 37

Zhī Yǔ was thus dragged by Yìyáng into her room. She watched as Yìyáng forcefully shut the door and quickly locked it, blocking Zhāng Guódòng and Lín Wēi outside. Lín Wēi kept banging on the door, but Yìyáng didn’t answer.

One step, two steps, three steps. Yìyáng slowly backed Zhī Yǔ into the corner. Seeing her frightened and terrified expression, she used both hands to cup her head, forcing her to look at her.

“What do you… want to do?”

“Do what? Are you scared? What a fine senior figure you are!” Yìyáng stared at Zhī Yǔ with blazing eyes, one hand still gripping her chin.

“Yìyáng, why did you pull Zhī Yǔ in there? Let her out! Whatever it is, come at me, don’t hurt her. Zhī Yǔ, are you alright?” Zhāng Guódòng called out anxiously from behind the door.

“Mind your own business!” Yìyáng roared.

“I’m fine, don’t worry. I’ll talk to her!” Zhī Yǔ glared at the person in front of her, pushed her hand away, and spoke to the person outside.

“What a tender and protective man. Too bad I’m not like him. The more he tells me not to hurt her, the more I will. I want him to taste the feeling of his own woman being played with!”

With that, Yìyáng kissed Zhī Yǔ’s mouth like a maniac, sucking hard and continuously. Her strength was shockingly great. By the time Zhī Yǔ reacted, it was too late. No matter how much she pushed, she couldn’t push her away.

While kissing, Yìyáng scooped her up, and the two tumbled onto the bed. Zhī Yǔ was overwhelmed with shame and anger, using both her hands and feet to resist and express her dissatisfaction.

But the current Yìyáng was like a maddened lion. She pulled Zhī Yǔ’s hands and interlaced their fingers, clamped her legs tightly over Zhī Yǔ’s kicking legs beneath her, and her tongue didn’t stop, prying open the stubborn oral cavity to dance with the soft little tongue inside.

Zhī Yǔ was now completely pinned down and unable to move. The only thing she could still control was her mouth, so she focused her strength there and bit her with all her might. But the person on top of her was like a bloodthirsty devil; even with the taste of bl00d, she gave her no room to breathe.

This deepening kiss gradually transformed from a vengeful and emotionless act into one of tenderness and affection. Yìyáng kissed delicately, cherishing the person beneath her. Her lips came to Zhī Yǔ’s flushed ear, and she said in a hoarse voice: “Zhī Yǔ, please don’t reject me, okay?”

“Zhāng Yìyáng, don’t make me hate you!”

“Do you really hate me that much?”

“You said your father is a hypocrite with a saintly facade, not worthy of my trust. But what you are doing now, how is it any different from being in cahoots with him? Do you think there is any difference between the two of you?” Zhī Yǔ questioned sharply.

Stung by her words, Yìyáng was defeated. She left the tempting ear and stopped her actions, only holding her: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have used force. I won’t next time. I’m so confused. Just let me hold you for a while, just for a moment!”

“But you can’t get any funny ideas!”

The fierce beast from a moment ago instantly turned into a fragile kitten. Yìyáng was now nestled against Zhī Yǔ’s chest, continuously muttering something under her breath.

Zhī Yǔ, who was about to lose her temper and scold her, couldn’t bear to when she saw her in this state. She reached out and stroked her head: “What’s wrong with you today? What exactly happened?”

After asking, she heard no sound from the person in her arms. A moment later, Zhī Yǔ faintly felt a wetness on her chest. She looked down and saw that the little rascal was actually crying.

“What is it? Tell me?” Zhī Yǔ asked nervously.

“Why is it like this? Only now do I know that her leaving wasn’t because she didn’t love me, but because of my father…”

“Your dad wouldn’t let you two be together and broke you up?”

Yìyáng just shook her head vigorously. These things couldn’t be explained in a few words, and she wasn’t in the mood to recount the heartbreaking process she went through back then.

Seeing her state, Zhī Yǔ didn’t press the matter. She looked at Yìyáng’s swollen eyes and wanted to get up to grab a tissue to wipe her tears, but Yìyáng held her tightly, not letting her go: “Don’t leave me, okay?”

“Okay, okay, I won’t go.”

Seeing her like this, a surge of maternal affection immediately overflowed within Zhī Yǔ. She reached out and hugged her back. The two remained silent in that embrace, neither saying a word. For Yìyáng, this was enough. She felt a warmth from Zhī Yǔ, the same as from her mother, which made her feel secure and comfortable, forgetting all her troubles.

Outside the room, Lín Wēi had been listening closely with her ear against the door, while Zhāng Guódòng paced back and forth. Half an hour passed, and neither of them came out.

“Lín Wēi, why did you come back?”

“You also know that I was forced to do what I did back then. Once I save enough money, I will pay you back. I will not give up on Yìyáng.”

“You could abandon her once for money. Do you think she’d choose to be with you again and get hurt a second time? Besides, you know whether what you said is the truth!”

“Do you think she’ll believe me or believe you? Furthermore, I believe she still loves me!” Lín Wēi declared resolutely.

“Fine. Since you think she still loves you, then ask her now if she’s willing to accept you. If she says yes, I have nothing to say, and I won’t interfere in your affairs anymore.”

“Good, I’ll prove it to you right now.”

With that, Lín Wēi knocked on the door: “Yáng, are you alright? Can you let me in? Let’s talk!”

Yìyáng still didn’t make a sound. Seeing this, Zhī Yǔ whispered to her: “I’ll open the door and let her in. You two should talk.”

“No. My mind is so messy right now. I don’t know what to say to her.”

Since Yìyáng said so, Zhī Yǔ called out to the door: “Miss Lín, please go back for now. Let her calm down. You can discuss your matters later.”

Hearing this, Zhāng Guódòng sneered, thinking, Lín Wēi, Lín Wēi, your so-called confidence still led you to be rejected. This farce should end now. He didn’t have the leisure to waste time on them.

“Lín Wēi, you heard her. She doesn’t want to see you. It’s getting late. You should go back. By the way, it’s best if you never come again. Our Zhāng family doesn’t welcome you.”

“I’m not looking for you. If you close the main door, someone else will naturally open another door for me. We shall see!”

In the end, Lín Wēi left alone, unconvinced. She wouldn’t give up so easily. Thinking about Yìyáng and the supposed stepmother’s recent series of actions, she vaguely felt something was wrong. Moreover, the two had even kissed in front of her earlier—even if it was a setup, she felt a great sense of crisis.

No! She absolutely couldn’t let Yìyáng fall into a situation of unfilial impiety and moral wrongness. It must be that woman seducing her Yángyáng. How absurd would that be? Incest! The thought of that word made Lín Wēi uneasy. She had to bring Yángyáng back to her side; she couldn’t lose her again.

Watching Lín Wēi’s retreating figure, Zhāng Guódòng felt this woman wouldn’t give up easily. What was her true motive for returning? As he thought, the wound on his lip hurt. He hadn’t expected his daughter’s strength to be so great, which also showed how deeply Yángyáng hated him.

Zhāng Guódòng was about to return to his room, but after one step, he suddenly remembered that Zhī Yǔ was still inside. As his superficial lover, he couldn’t just ignore her. So, he turned back and called out to the room: “Zhī Yǔ, I’m going back to my room first. You two can come back after you’ve talked it over.”

Yìyáng heard this and immediately grabbed Zhī Yǔ’s clothes, looking at her with wide, pitiful eyes: “Stay with me tonight, okay? Just for one night?”

Zhī Yǔ looked at the shallow palm print on her face and compromised. When this child became vulnerable, she completely forgot all the harm Yìyáng had done to her before. She reluctantly said to the door: “You go back first. I’ll stay here with her tonight.”

“Okay, then… you two go to sleep early. Yángyáng, don’t hate Dad!” With that, Zhāng Guódòng went back.

Finally, it was quiet, leaving only the two of them. Zhī Yǔ checked the time. All the commotion had brought them to 10 PM. She gently patted the uninjured side of the little brat’s face: “Hurry up and take a shower and go to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow.”

“No, I want to hold you!” The person started to act spoiled.

“You smell strongly of alcohol. It’s awful. Who was it that confidently declared they were quitting alcohol? It’s only been one day, and you’ve broken your vow.”

“That… that was due to an emergency. It doesn’t count.”

“Okay, okay, it was an accident. But if you don’t go take a shower, I’m going back to my room to sleep. I don’t want to sleep in the same bed as an alcoholic.” Zhī Yǔ pretended to get up.

Hearing she was about to leave, Yìyáng instantly jumped up, saying with a grin: “Fine, I’ll go take a shower. But you promise not to sneak back!”

“Okay, I promise.”

“You promise!”

“Okay, I promise!” Zhī Yǔ was speechless. This person truly still needed to be coaxed like a child.

Yìyáng entered the bathroom and washed herself clean and fragrant as quickly as possible, even brushing her teeth just in case Zhī Yǔ didn’t like the smell of alcohol. After finishing everything and coming out, she saw Zhī Yǔ was still there and breathed a sigh of relief.

She happily climbed onto the bed and immediately hugged her again: “This is great, you didn’t leave!”

“Am I that untrustworthy in your eyes?”

“No, I was afraid… you’ve been avoiding me, haven’t you?”

“So you know I’m avoiding you. Then why did you act the way you did just now? Don’t you know I get very angry when you’re like that?”

“I know, I’m sorry! But I couldn’t control it!”

This was truly a destined trouble. Zhī Yǔ didn’t know what to say. The two sat side-by-side against the headboard, with Yìyáng insisting on hugging her, which made Zhī Yǔ feel very awkward.

“Little brat, do you have a mother complex?” This was the only explanation Zhī Yǔ had for this. Otherwise, why would she attract this little brat? By all logic, she should be hated—hated for living in this house, hated for joining their family’s company.
