Chapter 4: Forcing Him to Sign the Divorce Papers

“Young Master Jiang, it’s—it’s Pei Yinian.”

The bodyguard, bruised all over, struggled to pick up the phone dropped on the ground and reported. Jiang Yi was enveloped in a fierce aura, grinding his back teeth. “Send all the bodyguards over here! I want Pei Yinian dead!”

Upon receiving the order, the bodyguards urgently summoned all the Jiang family’s security personnel.

In less than a minute, a dense crowd of bodyguards gathered at the villa entrance. Pei Yinian’s men showed no fear.

The tension between the two sides snapped like a taut bowstring, and they instantly erupted into a brawl.

The chaos spread from the living room to the doorstep, the scene utterly chaotic.

Qin Wanyi snapped back to reality, staring at the turmoil before her and clenching her fists tightly.

He was really protecting Lin Xiaoxiao, even summoning all the bodyguards for her sake.

Good, very good.

Jiang Yi’s years of infatuation were nothing but a fool’s folly!

The melee behind them didn’t ruffle Pei Yinian’s mood in the slightest. He still looked at the person before him with tender affection. “Miss, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

The man leaned forward, the warmth in his eyes nearly spilling over.

The foot pressed lightly against his chest tightened slightly, stopping his movement. His dark eyes remained fixed on her.

Qin Wanyi’s sensual lips twitched, and before she could speak, Pei Yinian beat her to it. “Miss, don’t worry. Leave it to me.”

His warm fingertips gently grasped her ankle, a large hand cradling her heel, every movement practiced yet gentle.

She had twisted her ankle when pushed aside by a bodyguard earlier but hadn’t noticed at the time. Now that she was calm, a dull pain was beginning to spread.

Leaning against the sofa, Qin Wanyi curved her lips slightly. “The Jiang family’s bodyguards aren’t pushovers. Are your people really up to it?”

Pei Yinian said nothing, only glanced up at her.

“Protecting you is my responsibility.”

His voice was cool, yet Qin Wanyi felt a flicker of warmth.

Seeing the bruises and swelling still visible on his face, she lifted her foot and lightly kicked him away—not hard.

“If you die from saving face, don’t expect me to bury you.”

Pei Yinian raised his gaze, their eyes locking. From his elevated position looking down at the half-kneeling man, there was a sense of looking at a small animal.

A shadow moved behind Pei Yinian, breaking the intimate moment between them. His eyes darkened.

Qin Wanyi was pulled back to the present, realizing the living room was in utter chaos. Everyone was tangled in the fight, making it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

Her expression darkened, her beautiful brows knitting together tightly.

Suppressing his own emotions, Pei Yinian calmly stood, stripped off his jacket, and gently draped it over her shoulders.

“Miss, don’t be afraid. I will always stay by your side.”

The Jiang family’s bodyguards were almost completely overwhelmed. Seeing this, they hurriedly reported to Jiang Yi.

“Young MasterI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
