Chapter 168 Tan Zheng, I’m not done with you
Song Ni instinctively wanted to call out, but after seeing cameras everywhere, she covered her mouth. Tan Zheng’s face was tense, his expression stern, and he strode out with Song Ni on his shoulder. His demeanor made the staff who were about to stop him halt in their tracks.
Once outside the filming set, Song Ni began to struggle. "What are you doing? Put me down!"
Tan Zheng remained unmoved, continuing to walk out. Song Ni was uncomfortable being carried on his shoulder. She looked up and saw Lu Fang and Tang Qin Yun watching from behind. She even heard Tang Qin Yun making a sarcastic remark, "Good luck."
"Tan Zheng! Put me down quickly!" Song Ni exerted force, her legs kicking, her hands flailing on the man's back. But Tan Zheng seemed unfazed by the pain, allowing Song Ni to punch and kick him as she struggled, carrying her out. He controlled Song Ni's waist with one hand, opened the car door, and threw Song Ni into the back seat.
Song Ni was momentarily stunned by the fall. Before she could react, Tan Zheng had already closed the car door, quickly got into the driver's seat, and locked the doors. The sound of the door closing startled Song Ni.
Song Ni opened her mouth and panted slightly, gently rubbing her abdomen with one hand. "What the hell are you doing?"
The man in the driver's seat snorted. "I'm going crazy." Tan Zheng suddenly lifted his eyelids and stared intently at Song Ni through the mirror. "You've gotten bold."
Song Ni was someone who only responded to softness; the harder you were, the more she would push back. She had initially felt a little guilty because Tan Zheng had found her. But with Tan Zheng's current attitude, she also sneered. "What have I gotten bold about? I was just watching a performance. What, you're going to restrict my right to watch performances?"
Hearing this, Tan Zheng's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp. He stared at Song Ni for a long time, but Song Ni raised her chin haughtily, meeting his gaze without flinching, stubborn and provocative. A tickle rose in the man's throat. He was in a bad mood, irritable, and wanted to vent. His wife, back in Xingcheng, did not go home, did not find him, did not contact him, but instead went to watch another man's performance, and was so happy and excited, spewing nonsense like "I love you." In his thirty years of life, no one had ever dared to treat him like this.
Song Ni's personality was fiery, so fiery that he loved it. But at this moment, her intensity gave him a headache. What kind of nonsense was it that the one who fell in love first was at a disadvantage? How was Song Ni at a disadvantage? It was he who had a headache because of her sudden anger, her every emotion held captive by her.
With a whoosh, Tan Zheng lit a cigarette. He smoked quickly and fiercely, finishing a cigarette in just three drags. The car window was not open, and the strong smell of smoke soon filled the entire car. Song Ni coughed a few times, choked by the smoke. Perhaps it was uncomfortable being carried on Tan Zheng's shoulder, but her coughing seemed to have no end, her eyes watering from the exertion.
The man's eyes turned red. Looking at the woman in the back seat through the mirror, he finally rolled down the window, letting the smoke dissipate. He didn't speak again but stepped on the accelerator, speeding down the road.
Song Ni stared at the sharp lines of his profile and asked, "Where are we going? I want to go back to Yu City."
Tan Zheng seemed not to hear her and kept driving. Song Ni was very familiar with Xingcheng, and this road led in the direction of her Linjiang apartment. Song Ni couldn't fathom Tan Zheng's thoughts and was still upset about his behavior earlier. "Stop the car!"
Tan Zheng, however, pressed the accelerator even harder, almost to the floor. The speed was already the limit of the car. Song Ni, sitting in the back without a seatbelt, had to grab the side buckle to steady herself.
What should have been a half-hour journey was condensed to ten minutes by Tan Zheng. Song Ni looked at the unfamiliar underground garage, her brows furrowed. "Where is this?"
Tan Zheng remained silent. He got out of the car, opened the rear door, and pulled Song Ni out.
The moment Song Ni stood firm, she exerted force from her core and kicked her leg towards Tan Zheng. The man reacted quickly and dodged the kick. Song Ni simultaneously raised her right hand for a front block, but Tan Zheng grabbed her arm. The subsequent moves were all parried by Tan Zheng. This ignited Song Ni's competitive spirit. She had always wanted to fight Tan Zheng. She no longer held back, no longer conserved her strength. Song Ni adopted the attitude and force of her training. She attacked proactively, but the man never retreated, standing his ground, dodging her attacks. This effortless demeanor further fueled Song Ni's fighting spirit. She gave it her all, jumped, and used her signature spinning kick.
As her toes brushed past Tan Zheng's cheek, he finally took a step back. No longer playing with Song Ni, he proactively attacked, grabbing her wrist and twisting it behind her back. Song Ni winced in pain. "It hurts, it hurts!"
Tan Zheng's brow furrowed, and he loosened his grip slightly. Song Ni immediately broke free from his grasp, counterattacked with a chops, and the man dodged to the side. Song Ni took the opportunity to run. "Just kidding." She couldn't beat Tan Zheng, but she could outsmart him. Thinking this, her earlier frustration vanished, and she started laughing as she ran.
However, her laughter didn't last long. Tan Zheng easily caught up with her in a few strides. This time, he didn't give Song Ni a chance to resist and hoisted her onto his shoulder again. In this position, Song Ni couldn't exert much force. First, Tan Zheng's shoulder was hard, digging into her abdomen, causing pain. Second, Tan Zheng was incredibly strong, able to hold her down with just one hand. "Using that trick again! Tan Zheng, if you have the guts, put me down and let's have a duel."
Tan Zheng ignored her and carried Song Ni directly into the elevator. During the ride, because Song Ni was too restless, he slapped her on the backside. Song Ni: ... In her life, no one had ever spanked her before! It was a disgrace! "Tan Zheng! I'm not done with you!"
The detached villa had a private elevator. All the way, Song Ni was carried by Tan Zheng into the villa. It was very close to Linjiang Apartment. Upon entering and seeing a photo of her and Tan Zheng, Song Ni realized this was a wedding gift from the Tan family. The Lan Ting Mansion. It was already renovated? Before Song Ni could think, Tan Zheng carried her directly into the bedroom, and before she could react, he threw her onto the sofa. The sofa was very soft, and Song Ni bounced a few times after being thrown. "What are you doing?"
The man took off his coat, loosened his tie, pressed down with one leg, and pulled Song Ni towards him. His eyes were filled with deep emotion, and his brows carried a fierce look. "Song Ni." The man's voice was deep and resonant. "Why are you so disobedient, hmm?"
Hearing this, Song Ni instinctively flinched back. The last time they were on the mountaintop, Tan Zheng had stolen her first kiss after saying the same thing. She still remembered it vividly.
