Living Only For Myself: Make Those Who Hate Me Regret It

Chapter 424 - 422: "I Especially Dislike It!

Xu Su said nothing, but Shen Chen had no intention of letting her go. He kissed the delicate curve of her lip.

Seeing her lips, which he had already sucked red, turn an even more vivid crimson, he smiled in satisfaction. "It’s okay. I don’t care about any of that. I don’t care about the past. From now on, it’ll just be me, alright?"

"..." ’He’s a lunatic.’ Xu Su took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with him.

The lunatic, Shen Chen, asked, "What kind of place would you like to live in? How about a penthouse flat with a rooftop garden?"

Xu Su could no longer stay silent. "What do you mean?"

"What do you think?" Shen Chen said, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "I’m taking you home with me so we can properly cultivate our relationship. Xu Su, have I told you I love you yet?"

’This guy... even his declaration of love is a question!’

But Xu Su couldn’t even process the last part. Her eyes flew wide at his first sentence. "You’re going to restrict my freedom?"

"Mm..." Shen Chen’s lips curved into a smile, and he gave her another hard kiss. "I’m sorry, but I just can’t let you go back to be all lovey-dovey with him. So come with me, okay?"

"No!" Xu Su shoved him away with all her might and sat up, unable to take it anymore. "Shen Chen, if you do this, I will never, ever have any feelings for you!"

Shen Chen arched an eyebrow, confused. "But, weren’t you and Brother Zhou also..."

"Bullshit!" Xu Su couldn’t stop herself from cursing again. "Zhou Mochen never, ever forced me! Even back when I was with Xi Zirong, which was the most difficult time for him while he was pursuing me, he only made verbal threats. He never acted on them."

Fuck!

’She’d sworn more today than in her two lifetimes combined.’

"You fucking say you love me?" Xu Su panted with rage. "Are you even worthy? You want to compare yourself to Zhou Mochen? I’ll tell you the truth—you’re not fit to be compared to a single strand of his hair!"

Shen Chen was truly a piece of work. Despite being cursed out by Xu Su for so long, he hadn’t stopped what he was doing for a second. He just kept listening with a grin, as if he wasn’t the one being insulted.

But that last sentence truly hit a nerve. The smile vanished from his face. He stared at her in silence for a long moment, until Xu Su’s skin began to crawl, before his lips twisted into a cryptic sneer. "How can’t I compare? Is it that I didn’t satisfy you? Xu Su..."

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed. "As it happens, I’m not finished either. How about we continue? No more of that teasing nonsense this time. Why don’t you see what I’m really like? I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

As he spoke, Shen Chen reached for her. Xu Su scrambled wretchedly toward the foot of the bed, clutching the blanket to herself and screaming, "Don’t touch me! You psycho! Snap out of it! For God’s sake, snap out of it!"

Her complete breakdown made Shen Chen’s hand freeze in mid-air. He lowered his gaze, retracted his hand, and thought for a moment. "What do you like about him? Can I just do that?"

"...I don’t know. But I don’t like the feeling of being forced." Terrified that he would snap, Xu Su bit her lip and said with restraint, "Shen Chen, I said this to Zhou Mochen once, and now I’ll say it to you."

"No girl likes to be forced." Xu Su clutched the sheet in her hand, her head bowed as she said, word by word, "And I especially hate it!"

’I absolutely hate it!’

She might not be able to control her body’s physiological response, but in her heart, she was utterly disgusted.

Shen Chen lifted her bowed chin, tilting his head with a smile. "This doesn’t count as forcing you, does it? I won’t lie, I’ve never had to restrain myself this painfully in my entire life. Xu Su, for you, I’ve actually played the part of a saint."

When had he ever been so accommodating, putting aside his own feelings to completely prioritize her experience?

Shen Chen seemed addicted to playing the part of a devoted lover, but Xu Su wasn’t about to take the blame for it, nor was she willing to accept this ’kindness.’

Her unimpressed expression was obvious, prompting Shen Chen to lean in closer. "You don’t believe me? I’m serious. Ever since I met you, I haven’t so much as laid a finger on another woman. I’m about to suffer internal injuries from holding back."

’What a fucking joke. Young Master Shen, a man who had always treated women as playthings, was now trying to use his so-called ’chastity’ to win points and prove his loyalty to her...’

Xu Su felt a wave of revulsion. "No one asked you to hold back, and I don’t see you ’not touching other women for my sake’ as some great gift. Shen Chen, you can go right back to your life of debauchery."

She truly didn’t feel this was some emotional debt she was supposed to repay. In fact, Xu Su didn’t even think Shen Chen really liked her that much at all.

It was only because she was different from the fawning women who surrounded him that she had piqued his interest—the interest of a rich young master who had never been rejected in his life. That was all.

Shen Chen was already well acquainted with her talent for infuriating people, but he still wasn’t immune. He took a deep breath, forcing a smile through gritted teeth as he deliberately twisted her words. "Are you saying I don’t have to hold back anymore?"

Utterly shameless, he had only just pulled his pants on but was already preparing to take them off again. Xu Su hastily shouted for him to stop, having no desire to witness that vulgar scene again.

Her revulsion was blatant. Shen Chen clicked his tongue. "I’m not asking for much. Just give me a fair chance. Xu Su, will you?"

Xu Su’s anger instantly spiked!

’When this man was being unreasonable, he was even more so than Zhou Mochen! Was this his idea of a fair chance—to forcibly kiss, hug, and grope her?’

But now, Xu Su didn’t dare let any of her anger show. She didn’t dare say a word. In his current mental state, anything she said would be wrong.

’She hadn’t expected that saying nothing would be a mistake, too.’

When she remained silent, Shen Chen waited a moment before letting out a strange laugh. "No?"

"..." A chill of absolute terror went down her spine, and Xu Su nodded frantically. "Yes! Yes, I will!"

"Alright," Shen Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Then come with me."

Xu Su snapped her head up. "You’re still going to restrict my freedom?"

"Don’t make it sound so ugly," Shen Chen corrected with a smile. "It’s for us to live in our own little world together, to cultivate our relationship."

"Go fuck yourself!"

After going around in circles, she was still going to be locked up. Xu Su’s rage finally broke past its limit, and she exploded, "Who the hell wants to cultivate a relationship with you?! I have a proper boyfriend! What kind of goddamn fucked-up relationship am I supposed to cultivate with you?!"

"If I don’t go back today, Zhou Mochen will tear Beijing apart to find me! How long do you think you can hide me?" Xu Su dodged his hand and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Don’t touch me! You’re a psycho! A psycho!"

"’A psycho...’" Shen Chen repeated slowly, a smile still playing on his lips as he reached out to restrain her struggles. "Don’t be so unfair. If I were a truly irrational psycho, you’d probably be crying so hard you couldn’t stop by now."

"Xu Su, give me a chance. I just need you to give me one chance. I can’t stand watching you two be all lovey-dovey anymore. If that kind of life continues, I might actually become a real psycho."

Thinking of all the days he’d endured her sarcasm and criticism, of the vicious barbs she’d throw at him from time to time, the violent energy Shen Chen had just suppressed came roaring back in an instant.

He lowered his head and kissed Xu Su’s earlobe again. The tip of her ear, already a tormented red, was once again caught between his lips and teeth as he worried the sensitive flesh.
