"No... no one came to rescue me."
Cheng Ruowei suddenly lunged forward, trying to stop Di Jinye, her defense utterly unconvincing.
Di Jinye, furious to the point of laughter, trapped Cheng Ruowei in his long arms and sneered, "You want to protect that man so badly, is this why you betrayed me and still have no regrets about our divorce? Then I will never let him go."
"No... don't hurt him..."
Cheng Ruowei couldn't let Di Jinye hurt her child.
But Di Jinye grew even angrier, pushing Cheng Ruowei away and said to the bodyguards, "Keep her here and wait for me."
"Di Jinye, please don't..."
As a result, Cheng Ruowei could only watch helplessly as Di Jinye left, while she was restrained by the bodyguards on the seventh-floor restaurant.
Just then, she received a message on her phone.
"Mommy, don't be afraid, my sister and I are coming to rescue you, and we'll teach that big baddie a lesson."
The two children were smart and clever, they could rescue her.
But if they came face to face with Di Jinye, after all they were just children, how could they possibly outwit the Great Demon King?
She didn't want Di Jinye's vengeful hatred towards her to be taken out on the two children.
Absolutely not!
The Di Family bodyguard saw Cheng Ruowei with her phone and immediately tried to stop her.
Suddenly, Cheng Ruowei pulled out a homemade self-defense spray from her bag and sprayed it at the approaching Di Family bodyguard.
This wasn't ordinary pepper spray, its effects were extremely potent, causing temporary blindness.
Pharmacist Yun Li was not one to be trifled with.
At this moment, Cheng Ruowei seized the chaos to escape and dialed her son, but he didn't answer.
She checked the location of her phone and saw that Yuheng and Jiajia were both on the fourth floor.
At the same time, Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia were carrying out the second step of the rescue plan.
Compared to Di Jinye's slow progress in locking down and searching the restaurant, Cheng Ruowei had to race against time to find her children before the Di Family did.
The mother and her two children met at the door of a safety stairwell.
"Mommy? You escaped?"
The two children were clearly surprised to see their mommy.
However, Cheng Ruowei had no time to explain and quickly pushed her treasures towards the observation terrace in the opposite direction.
"They're numerous and dangerous, you must hide well, find a chance to leave this place and never, ever let yourself be discovered, mommy has a way to hold him off."
The two children had no time to communicate with their mommy when they heard someone coming after them.
And Cheng Ruowei saw that Di Jinye was the one who came after her to capture her.
Suddenly, she ran towards the opposite safety passage, pretending to come out and close the door.
Di Jinye was truly very angry, Cheng Ruowei's boldness had grown.
"Where's the man you're hiding!"
He kicked open the door, but the stairwell, both upstairs and downstairs, showed no sign of the wanted man.
Cheng Ruowei knew that Di Jinye would continue the lockdown and search, so she needed to stall him.
But how?
Di Jinye simply would not listen to her explanations.
In desperation, Cheng Ruowei spread her arms and suddenly flung herself onto him, tightly hugging his waist.
This was definitely not a tender embrace, her grip was very tight, almost making Di Jinye lose his balance, and truly, she managed to hold him back.
The next moment, Di Jinye suddenly overpowered Cheng Ruowei, pinning her against the corner, and dominantly took control.
"You're trying to seduce me."
It wasn't a question, but a firm accusation.
Cheng Ruowei's heart pounded with fear as she froze, she should deny it, she should struggle.
But the two children were hiding just behind the door across from them; failing to hold Di Jinye back would put them in danger.
"Didn't you want me to beg you, Di Shao? If I'm good, will you let me go?"
Cheng Ruowei did not let go of her arms around his waist.
Was she trying to ingratiate herself with him to protect another man?
Di Jinye's eyes narrowed with malice, anger simmering in their depths, yet he didn't miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
He leaned his body's weight forward, his muscular chest pressing tightly against her.
"You've become clever, using this method to beg me, is that man really so important to you?"
"Isn't this the result you wanted by threatening me, Di Shao?"
Cheng Ruowei's counter-question was as good as an admission.
Di Jinye was thoroughly enraged.
Suddenly, he lifted Cheng Ruowei's buttocks and with one arm, hoisted her entire body into the air.
Cheng Ruowei instinctively screamed, her fear of falling manifested in her arms wrapping around Di Jinye's neck.
However, this embrace was far too intimate.
"Then I'll grant you your wish, let's see how far you're willing to sacrifice for him!"
Suddenly, Di Jinye's left hand secured the back of Cheng Ruowei's neck, and he kissed her fiercely, claiming her lips.
Cheng Ruowei widened her eyes in disbelief, and in a moment of shock, was unguarded against Di Jinye's domineering kiss.
By the time she came to her senses and started to struggle desperately, she couldn't push away his constraining hand, nor could she push away the intimacy of being held aloft by him.
This was her first kiss with Di Jinye.
But why would he kiss her? They were already divorced!
Cheng Ruowei's struggling provoked Di Jinye's displeasure, his kisses becoming a fierce punishment and retaliation.
In an instant, his lingering kisses became a biting assault breaking through her defenses, demanding her response forcefully.
All Cheng Ruowei could do was bite him to stop the blood that was starting to fill her mouth.
Seeing this, the Di Family's bodyguards who had followed silently retreated.
Directly opposite.
Behind the glass doors leading to the balcony, two little heads were shaking suspiciously.
A few minutes earlier, Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia had just hidden themselves when they saw the Great Demon King appear.
The Great Demon King was so tall.
The siblings couldn't help but feel that it was no wonder their mommy had told them to run away.
But they didn't dare to look too closely, so they couldn't see clearly; they only saw their mommy desperately using her body to block the Great Demon King.
However, when mommy was lifted high by the Great Demon King and forcibly kissed.
Cheng Yuheng and Cheng Jiajia were both dumbstruck.
The next moment, the brother covered his sister's eyes and said, embarrassed, "We shouldn't watch."
Jiajia truly didn't see, blissfully unaware that the Great Demon King bullying their mommy was the same Handsome Uncle she idolized in her heart.
"Mommy is protecting us so we must also protect Mommy."
Cheng Yuheng frowned, taking his sister away from the other end of the balcony.
But he wouldn't leave their mommy behind; the most powerful thing about a hacking master is acting from behind the scenes.
About to suffocate.
Cheng Ruowei was caught deep in Di Jinye's fervent kiss, losing even her strength to struggle.
With the last bit of her lucid consciousness, she still worried whether the children had managed to leave safely.
Until, the frenzied kissing suddenly let go of her.
Cheng Ruowei was breathing rapidly, her eyes hazy as she looked at Di Jinye who was only an inch away.
"Trying to seduce me, ex-wife, yet you don't have even this little willingness to sacrifice? Or is that man not worth such a big sacrifice from you?"
Di Jinye didn't want to admit that he had just lost control.
Now, as he watched her flushed cheeks, she looked not only cute but more so tempting.
It made him unable to resist wanting more...
But when he thought about all she had done to hide another man, anger blazed in the depths of his eyes.
"It's worth it, I have no regrets."
Cheng Ruowei glanced at the balcony inconspicuously; fortunately, the children had already left.
She no longer needed to play nice, tempting him to test his boundaries with crazed provocations, focusing his fury so it wouldn't expose the children.
"Cheng Ruowei, do you truly not think about the consequences?"
Di Jinye gritted his teeth, chuckling coldly, annoyed at his own damn concern.
Just then, the fire alarm in the dining hall went off.
Customers dining on other floors began to trickle out one after another.
The Di Family's bodyguards came over to remind them, and Di Jinye looked at Cheng Ruowei's sly smile.
"If you don't let me go now, Lord Di, you'll soon be on the news for sexual harassment."
Cheng Ruowei's face was smug, masking the lingering fear in her heart.
At that moment, Di Jinye had no choice but to release her, yet his eyes narrowed threateningly, "You might have escaped this time, but not the next. Don't forget, the life and death of the Cheng Family Pharmacy is in my hands. Think it over and remember to come beg me."
After he spoke, he threw a business card down the front of Cheng Ruowei's shirt with a malicious pleasure.
It didn't fall out, instead lodging itself right above her chest, as his gaze shamelessly followed.
"Don't be delusional, there won't be a next time!"
Cheng Ruowei pushed him away furiously, embarrassed and angry, then turned and left quickly through the safety passage.
Di Jinye watched her retreating figure, laughing darkly with a look of looming danger and desire in his eyes.
