HC Chapter 30: I Obey You (IX)
It seemed that this person wasn’t going to let her go.
Dong Ci was unsteady, so she held his shoulder with her hand. Seeing Jing Rong still staring at her, Dong Ci lowered her eyes, and indifferently asked, “Were you angry just now?”
“I wasn’t angry,” Jing Rong smiled at her, as though trying to prove himself. “I have a good temper.”
???
If she hadn’t seen him smashing the folder with documents at the other person a few minutes ago, Dong Ci would have definitely been deceived by his smile. Instead of continuing this line of conversation or going back to her own question, she asked something else, “Lately, have you been very busy?”
“It’s been tolerable,” Jing Rong casually answered.
“Then, have you recently been in contact with An Cheng Feng? It seems that it’s been a long time since the two of you conversed.”
“How do you know that we are not in touch?”
The quick response made Dong Ci unable to react for a moment. She saw that his expression was a bit wrong, and hesitated, “I…”
Jing Rong’s eyes darkened. He picked up Dong Ci and, walking a few steps forward, pushed her against the wall. Pinching her chin, he quietly asked, “Xiao Ci, what did you want to ask?”
“I, I just want to know how An Cheng Feng is doing…”
“Why do you care about him for no reason?” Jing Rong questioned with a dangerous expression. For a moment, his gaze lingered on the panicked little face in front of him, then he suddenly smiled, seeing through her thoughts. “You are inquiring about this because of Yan Ning Shuang?”
“…”
Dong Ci was silent. She thought that someone as proud as Yan Ning Shuang definitely wouldn’t want Jing Rong to know about it. But her silence already gave everything away.
“She dares to call you about these kinds of things?” Jing Rong contemptuously snorted.
For some reason, Dong Ci always felt that both An Cheng Feng and Jing Rong disliked Yan Ning Shuang. This made her feel slightly weird, so she curiously asked, “Why do you all hate her so much?”
“Xiao Ci, you are wrong. The one who hates her is An Cheng Feng. I don’t think much about her.”
“Why does An Cheng Feng hate her?” Dong Ci nervously continued her inquiries.
In fact, she once asked Yan Ning Shuang this question, but the proud girl just shook her head and said that she was also unaware of the reason. She just knew that there was a particular day when this ‘hate’ started.
Dong Ci was trying to string together the clues by getting some useful information from Jing Rong, but he saw through her almost instantly.
“It seems that Xiao Ci learned some bad habits from me,” Jing Rong said with amusement, and couldn’t help kissing her face. He leaned down and looked at her with an extremely soft expression. “Actually, you don’t have to go through such troublesome routes. If you want to get information from me, you just have to please me, and I will tell you.”
His voice was tender, with a hint of temptation. He deliberately lowered his tone when he spoke the last sentence, his magnetic voice passing through Dong Ci’s ears, and seducing her into following his will. Dong Ci’s breaths shortened as her mind turned blank. After a momentary pause, she asked, “How should I please you?”
“Of course, by kissing me.”
When Jing Rong said this, he already placed her on the window sill next to them. His arms were on both sides of Dong Ci, and his body gradually lowered. In the end, Dong Ci had no way of retreat and was directly pressed against the windowsill by him.
“Of course, if you take the initiative to hug and touch me, I will be even happier.”
“Jing Rong, quickly get up. I am about to fall.”
Dong Ci’s body was uncomfortably leaning back, making her hips slip. Having no choice, she wrapped her arm around his neck but was quickly kissed as a result.
“Has Xiao Ci thought about how she will please me?”
Jing Rong deliberately didn’t help her. He enjoyed the way that the soft body of the girl underneath him was tightly pressed against his chest. He teasingly grabbed Dong Ci’s hand that was wrapped around his neck and held it in his palm, finally placing it inside his collar. His tone was frivolous as he charmingly smiled, “If Xiao Ci is undecided as to how to start, why don’t you touch me first?”
“I am going to fall!”
Without the support that the arm provided, Dong Ci couldn’t bear holding up her weight with just one hand wrapped around his neck. The windowsill was more than half a meter high. If she slipped in this position, it would definitely hurt.
Dong Ci felt her other hand being grabbed by Jing Rong and forced to touch him, even after she said all those words. Her heart suddenly burst with anger, and she pinched the naked flesh of his chest, intending to hurt him.
Jing Rong sighed, and Dong Ci immediately felt her hips sliding down the windowsill. She quickly pulled out her hand out of his shirt, but the two of them still fell to the floor.
“Are you rebelling against me?”
Jing Rong took advantage of the situation and switched their positions around, pressing her against the floor. He propped up his upper body and squinted at her with a dangerous expression.
Because the shirt’s collar has been violently pulled by Dong Ci, a large patch of his bare skin was on display. Through the thin clothing, Dong Ci could vaguely see two red dots. Her face suddenly felt a little hot.
“It turns out that Xiao Ci likes to play around.”
She was obviously the one who provoked him.
Jing Rong pressed Dong Ci’s struggling hands without a trace of difficulty, and carelessly fiddled with the buttons on her clothes. As though aware of something, Dong Ci’s body tightened up as she begged, “Jing Rong, I was wrong.”
“You should know that I always avenge my grievances.”
Pretending not to hear her begging, Jing Rong showed a wicked smile as he finished unbuttoning her clothes and covered her soft skin with his big palm.
When Sally entered the lounge, at first, she wondered why nobody was there. Her confusion lasted until she heard a strange noise from behind a sofa.
Her face instantly pinked with embarrassment, and she was just about to quietly withdraw, when she was noticed by Jing Rong. The cold gaze he directed at her could have scared even the bravest of humans.
“Master, lunch is ready.”
Right now, Sally could only pretend that she didn’t know anything. Ignoring the quiet noises coming from the other side of the sofa, she continued to inquire, “Do you want to have the meal later, or…”
“No, we will go right away.”
At this moment, the little girl underneath his body had messy clothes, and her collar was loose – exposing a large patch of soft white skin. The desire that disappeared because of the interruption a moment ago – once again ignited in Jing Rong’s eyes. But when he noticed Dong Ci’s misty gaze, he restrained himself by taking a deep breath – although his fingers couldn’t resist brushing against a few red spots that marked the girl’s body.
The fingers closed to pinch the skin, as though venting the unreleased desire. Although there was some strength in them, it was very measured. Jing Rong didn’t want to make the petite girl suffer.
Satisfied with these small actions, Jing Rong helped with tidying up her clothes, then pulled her up from the ground, and fiercely bit her lip.
“Next time, I won’t be so merciful,” he coldly promised.
Not only did Dong Ci not get even one bit of news, but she was also bullied and taken advantage of by Jing Rong. After what happened, she no longer dared to help Yan Ning Shuang with her matters.
“You don’t want Loft’s sketches?”
When Yan Ning Shuang called again to inquire, Dong Ci was watching a movie with Jing Rong’s arms wrapped around her. She cast a careful glance his way, then reluctantly said, “Don’t want.”
Dong Ci felt her blood pressure rising at the mere thought of the task that Yan Ning Shuang gave her. If she could travel back in time, she would’ve never chosen to provoke Jing Rong. She wasn’t a masochist!
“You—”
Dong Ci was ready to listen to the angry rants coming from the phone, but it was suddenly taken away from her hands.
Jing Rong leaned back into the bed’s headboard, his arms still lazily wrapped around her waist, and provocatively said into the receiver: “Such proud older sister is threatening others? Why are you so secretive about looking for my Xiao Ci? Did you think that it would be easy to bully her?”
“Jing Rong!” Dong Ci exclaimed, trying to take the phone back. But with his arm firmly wrapped around her waist, it was difficult to move.
It was unclear how Yan Ning Shuang answered, but Jing Rong sneered, and casually said in response, “With the temper that the An Family’s old man has, do you think that he would be able to tolerate someone like Chen Wan Wan? Haven’t you done enough when you went to An Family to break the engagement? Unfortunately, even with all that effort, you won’t benefit from it. Although An Cheng Feng is under a lot of pressure from his family, their little couple is very affectionate towards each other. Hearing about it will only make you miserable.”
“Why do you always stimulate her like this?” Dong Ci disapprovingly asked when she was sure that Yan Ning Shuang hung up the phone. She looked at Jing Rong’s leisurely expression and said with exasperation, “Yan Ning Shuang has never bullied me, and she is very kind. Why do you always have such a bad opinion of her?”
As long as he manages to irritate Yan Ning Shuang, Jing Rong’s mood seems to get better. He stretched out his hand and squeezed the complaining girl’s face. With a smile, he replied, “She already got this much information from me because she treats you pretty well.”
“…”
Dong Ci felt that without that kind of news, Yan Ning Shuang would’ve been a lot happier.
Because of her weak physique, Dong Ci was taken home by Jing Rong after only two days of her military training.
By the end of the two-week military training, many freshmen have established friendships with each other, but Dong Ci was still unfamiliar with everyone.
Perhaps it was because she skipped out on it, and her appearance was very eye-catching, but her classmates weren’t very close to her. Facing this problem, Dong Ci indifferently smiled to herself – she was actually quite happy to leisurely spend time by herself.
Anyway, she was here to learn – everything else could be ignored.
In fact, although Dong Ci’s appearance was pretty good in high school, she wasn’t very outstanding. She didn’t know what happened this year, but her skin was getting better and better. Besides, Jing Rong matched her very well, and their appearances and clothes were very eye-catching no matter where they went.
Because of her relationship with Jing Rong, Dong Ci didn’t live in the dormitories, and she also had a special car that would pick her up every day after the lectures. Also, she wasn’t a proactive person. As a result, she wasn’t familiar with her classmates even as the first half of the semester passed. This kind of behavior naturally created some rumors about her.
“Let me tell you, another senior from our department asked me about Dong Ci today. I don’t know what is going on with these men, why would they like her?”
“It goes without saying that her parents should be good-looking and well-off.”
After Dong Ci went to the bathroom, and when she was about to push the door to come out, she heard two girls from the same class discussing her.
“Even if you look good, do you have to be so arrogant? I don’t treat others with such a cold attitude while pretending to be innocent, just because I have a few more banknotes in my wallet. I really don’t understand her!”
“Tsk tsk, how do you know that it is she who has money? She looks like a fox, maybe she is being raised by a rich old man.”
The voices outside became smaller as Dong Ci heard one of the girls whispering, “Let me tell you, last week I took advantage of the counsellor’s carelessness to secretly take a look at Dong Ci’s file. She is from a single-parent family, and the address written in the documents belongs to one of the lowest-end districts in the city. Even if you say that her family is rich, I won’t believe it.”
This is too much.
For a moment, Dong Ci wished to rush out and defend herself, but just as she was about to twist the doorknob, she froze.
She found that those people seemed to be right.
“Being raised?” Dong Ci repeated with a pale face, then ironically smiled.
In fact, she wanted to ask Jing Rong – just what kind of words would be able to describe their relationship?

Jing Rong’s controlling behavior has now affected the relationship the MC has with her classmates in university. This is just sad. Hopefully they’ll be able to do something about it for MC’s sake.
Thank you for translating!
