Su Xiaoxiao secretly swallowed some saliva and stared fixedly at those visibly strong and powerful eight-pack abs. Despite the thin layer of fabric separating them, it exuded an enticing allure, akin to the concept of a beauty with her face partially covered by a lute.
She was so tempted that her eyes widened, and she felt an itch in her hands, wanting to tear open the fabric that seemed so tactile. However, with so many people watching, she didn't dare to do it. Committing a crime like being a pervert and getting executed with a bullet was no more honorable than her previous life. Nevertheless, her restless little hand had already moved towards Jiang Yexun without her control.
Su Xiaoxiao was startled and, with all her self-control, managed to redirect her hand to grip the man's large hand. Well, even a virtuous person can be pushed too far. Jiang Yexun's large hand was covered in thick calluses, but it felt quite comfortable when she caressed it. Feeling the small hand causing mischief in his palm, Jiang Yexun's expression softened slightly. He gently and cautiously helped the little girl half-lying in his arms to sit up, blocking her view of his abdominal muscles.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed in disappointment. Jiang Yexun's icy eyes twinkled, and a faint, untraceable smile curved his lips. He was so heated by the intense gaze from the young girl earlier that it felt like his body was about to combust. If he had known that the young girl liked his body this much, he would have flaunted himself in his vest in front of her every day instead of hiding in the shadows and getting frustrated.
"You shameless Jiang Yexun! You dare to take advantage of the female educated youth who came from the city to support rural development just because you're the son of the production team leader. Do you want to eat a bullet?" Pan Yongsheng glared at them, noticing the intimacy between them. He was both angry and anxious, and his voice became distorted.
Su Xiaoxiao would never forget this voice, the voice that tormented her for two whole years—a nightmare.
After she married Pan Yongsheng, he immediately changed his attitude. He despised her, refusing even to touch her fingers. Every day, he accused her of being a dirty woman who had married before and was a repulsive, nauseating prostitute. He claimed that only his deep love for her had led him to bring her home. But two years of oppression had transformed her from a proud woman into someone who could only sleep on the floor every day.
In her desperate attempts to please Pan Yongsheng, without her parents' knowledge, she had even given one of her kidneys to his mother, who suffered from kidney disease. But as a result, her own health had deteriorated significantly.
Shockingly, after this incident, Pan Yongsheng suddenly became wealthy and rapidly climbed the ranks, and eventually became a leader. He even managed to secure promising positions for the people from his family.
They said that achieving success and wealth often came at the cost of betraying one's spouse, and he couldn't wait to get rid of her as a burden. The intense hatred surged within her, uncontrollably spilling out.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with a burning red gaze as she looked at the man standing at the forefront of the onlookers, a man with a face twisted by resentment.
"Get lost! He was saving my life, not taking advantage of me! You also come from the city; don’t you know that Comrade Jiang was giving me artificial respiration?"
Pan Yongsheng heard her words and instantly wore an expression of grievance, as if he were a husband who had been cuckolded.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm doing this for your own good. How can you lack self-respect like this?"
Hearing Pan Yongsheng's “righteous” accusations, Jiang Yexun's icy gaze immediately turned into a menacing wolf-like glare.
Pan Yongsheng's legs trembled, but he mustered the courage to glare back. In his heart, Su Xiaoxiao was already his future wife. Now, seeing Pan Yongsheng's shameless behavior, he regretted not having taken her sooner.
"Do you want to die?" Jiang Yexun suddenly grabbed Su Xiaoxiao, who was leaning on him by the waist, and stood up. His rugged face, with its strong and well-defined contours, looked exceptionally fierce.
He took three quick steps and advanced toward Pan Yongsheng, violently kicking his leg, sending him flying more than a meter away.
"Brother Yongsheng!" A female educated youth from the educated youth group rushed over to Pan Yongsheng, trying to help him; her expression filled with sympathy.
"Are there no rules here anymore? Do you think you're the king of the countryside? Relying on your identity as the production team leader's son, you're acting tyrannically in the production team. I'll expose your evil deeds to the city!" Dong Jiaxuan glared at Jiang Yexun indignantly.
Jiang Yexun sneered, a smirk of indifference on his lips, and lifted his foot to kick her in the face. Dong Jiaxuan let out a miserable scream, sounding like a pig being slaughtered, and curled up next to Pan Yongsheng. However, the expected pain did not arrive. She carefully put down her hand covering her face, only to see Jiang Yexun's mocking expression growing more malevolent.
The other members of the educated youth group watched her embarrassing herself like a clown. Dong Jiaxuan’s face turned red with shame and anger, and her body shook vigorously.
"You idiots, how dare you meddle in my affairs! Both of you stay away from Educated Youth Su from now on, or I'll beat you every time I see you," Jiang Yexun threatened with a menacing tone.
That simple-minded young girl must not be bullied by these two people. However, Pan Yongsheng, despite being in pain and unable to get up, refused to back down and put on a façade of righteousness.
"Comrade Jiang, now that Xiaoxiao has woken up, please release her. The way you are now, it's clear that you're taking advantage of the female educated youth," he said.
