Chapter 570 Xie Jue's Storyline: Forced Kiss
The servants carried water in a line, their shouts deafening.
Behind a secluded screen wall, Xie Jue hid in the flickering shadows of the firelight.
His gaze passed over the raging flames and landed on the group of people who had just arrived.
Jiang Huaiyu's face was ashen. The wedding he had been looking forward to for so long had been ruined by a fire!
If he finds out who did it, he'll kill him!
Jiang's father frowned and urgently ordered his men to mobilize water and fire-fighting forces to completely contain the fire leading to the main house. "Immediately send water trucks! Also, have the kitchen prepare wet curtains. We can't let the fire spread into the front hall!"
"Father, I'll go check behind the house. Perhaps someone is causing trouble and deliberately sabotaging the wedding!"
"Calm down!" Jiang's father shouted sternly. "What time is it? The most important thing now is to put out the fire!"
Xie Jue quietly watched the girl not far away.
Gao Wanzhi stood at the edge of the thick smoke, her red wedding dress like fire, adorned with golden light that shimmered between her phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, like a magnificent, burning firework, breathtakingly beautiful.
He never imagined that she would look so beautiful in her wedding dress.
The firelight reflected on her fair face. She looked dazed, her eyes slowly scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
She looked very carefully, not missing a single corner, but in the end she still couldn't find it.
Jiang Huaiyu was instructing the servants to fetch buckets of water, but she was still keeping a close eye on her. "The fire is spreading too fast. It's not safe here. Go back first. Don't stay here."
Gao Wanzhi glanced around; the thick smoke was choking her. She coughed a few times, then nodded. "Okay."
The firelight on one side of the veranda illuminated half the sky, and billowing smoke suggested that the fire had grown even larger.
Jiang's father was directing the servants to put out the fire, and Jiang Huaiyu was arranging the evacuation, so he couldn't pay attention to her anymore.
Knowing she couldn't help by staying, she lifted her skirt and walked quickly outside.
At the end of the long corridor, several lamps were yellowed by thick smoke. She had just stepped onto that section of stone path when, as she turned a small corner, her wrist was suddenly tightened!
Someone reached out from the darkness and suddenly grabbed her.
"who--"
Just as she was about to cry out in surprise, she was pulled into an empty room next to her by the force.
The door was quickly closed, and she instinctively struggled to turn around, but when she looked up...
"Xie Jue?"
She froze, as if nailed to the spot.
Xie Jue was hidden in the shadows, with slightly messy strands of hair sticking to his forehead, which was sweating from the heat, and his eyes held turbulent emotions.
Gao Wanzhi immediately understood, staring intently at him, "Did you start this fire?"
"it's me."
"You are crazy!"
Xie Jue looked up at her, his eyes filled with an almost obsessive stubbornness.
"Yes, I'm insane. The thought of you wearing your wedding dress, bowing to him, and being led by his hand into the bridal chamber makes me want to kill him, skin him alive, and tear out his tendons!"
Gao Wanzhi's heart felt as if it were being pulled down by something, but she gritted her teeth and her voice turned cold.
"Xie Jue, this marriage has already progressed to this point. You've set the stage this time, but what about next time?"
"You mean I'm never allowed to marry? You'll be watching me for the rest of my life?"
Xie Jue was taken aback, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his face.
Gao Wanzhi took a deep breath. "Let go."
Xie Jue didn't move, still gripping her wrist tightly.
"Xie Jue, I'm telling you to let go." She repeated, her voice trembling.
He still refused.
Gao Wanzhi didn't want to get entangled with him, so she suddenly turned around and was about to leave.
However, she had only taken one step when Xie Jue pulled her back.
She was caught off guard and bumped into his arms. Before she could break free, he suddenly lowered his head and kissed her fiercely.
The kiss came suddenly and fiercely, carrying with it the emotions that were growing wildly in his heart.
His breath was hot, and his lips and teeth were completely out of control.
"Thank you—um!"
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she struggled to speak, but was unable to utter a single word.
She pushed him away with all her might, but her fists landed on his chest as if hitting a stone. He was unmoved and instead tightened his arms around her.
She raised her hand and slapped his shoulder hard, her nails almost leaving marks.
"Xie Jue! You're insane!"
Her eyes were red with anger, and she tried her best to turn her head away to avoid his kiss.
But he followed her movements, lowered his head and pressed closer, almost forcefully pinning her against the door, his lips relentlessly pursuing her, domineering and passionate.
His kisses gradually became erratic, and she used all her strength to push him away, kicking his knees with her toes and raising her arms to try to block between them.
"Wanzhi..." he gasped, pleading in a low voice, "Don't get married, please don't get married..."
His eyes were frighteningly red, his hair was messy and stuck to his forehead, and he looked like he was being consumed by his emotions to the point of madness.
Gao Wanzhi's body was extremely tense, and as she struggled, tears had already unknowingly streamed down her face.
Her fingertips were still weakly resisting, but she no longer had the strength she had before.
The struggles gradually subsided, and it felt as if the strength in her shoulders was being slowly drained away.
She didn't know what to do or what to say.
She could only stand there, stunned, as he pressed her against the door, letting his kiss land on her lips.
Sensing her change, Xie Jue's kisses became much gentler, no longer as rough and domineering as before.
Their lips touched, and he gently held her lower lip in his mouth, tracing it meticulously with an almost devout infatuation.
"Wanzhi..." he called her name, his voice very soft, "Let me kiss you one more time, just one more time..."
He lowered his head and covered her lips with his again.
This time, it was a deeper and more intimate entanglement.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her hand unconsciously tightened around the front of his shirt.
Her lips parted slightly, and he took the opportunity to probe inside.
Their kiss was so deep that all the emotions they had felt during that time found an outlet in that one kiss.
She was so dizzy from the kisses.
Xie Jue's kisses deepened with each stroke, each one as if he wanted to devour her whole.
Just as the two were lost in a deep kiss, footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard, getting closer and closer.
The footsteps grew closer. "Why is the door ajar?"
It was Jiang Huaiyu's voice.
Gao Wanzhi's expression suddenly changed. Just as she was about to speak, he had already walked up to her.
"Squeak-"
Without any warning, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Jiang Huaiyu stepped into the room, but froze on the spot for a moment.
In the flickering light, he saw Gao Wanzhi and Xie Jue standing close together, their lips exceptionally red…
"What are you doing!" Jiang Huaiyu's voice suddenly rose, crashing into their ears like a thunderbolt.
Xie Jue did not argue, but shielded Gao Wanzhi behind him and looked directly at Jiang Huaiyu.
"Don't you understand? She doesn't want to marry you."
Jiang Huaiyu gritted her teeth and approached step by step, "Whether you marry me or not is not up to you! This marriage was arranged a long time ago, if not today, then tomorrow!"
"Xie Jue, you can't stop him!"
