Chapter 1446: Chapter 1447: Suddenly Seized in the Darkness
Back at ho, Little Baby washed up, took a bath, changed into his pajamas, and listened to Rong Yan tell him a bedti story for a while. Then, he obediently drifted into dreamland…
Seeing his breathing gradually even out, Rong Yan carefully closed the book and placed it on the bedside table. She gently climbed off the bed, tucked him in, bent down to kiss his forehead lightly, and whispered, “Goodnight, sweetheart.”
The adorable little one, asleep on a bed covered in a blue Little Prince bedsheet, rested peacefully, as if enjoying a sweet dream.
Rong Yan quietly exited the room, turned off the glaring lights, and softly closed the door behind her.
The living room was so silent it felt as though no one was ho. She didn’t think much of it. Stretching her neck that had been stiff all evening, she massaged her lower back and walked toward her own room…
After waiting for soone all afternoon, squeezing through a crowded theater to see a movie, and finishing off a spicy late-night snack, she was now drenched in sweat, her sticky clothes clinging unpleasantly to her skin.
Rong Yan planned to take a shower first, then apply a face mask while checking online gossip about Gu Zekai to see how the public opinion was shaping up.
Supposedly, fans turning against him had dug up a lot of dirt on Gu Zekai, details even she hadn’t known about, thoroughly dragging him down to rock bottom with no hope of a coback. But with soone like Gu Zekai, who relied shalessly on his good looks and minor celebrity status, it wasn’t surprising that he would deceive unsuspecting girls—and even betray his own fans—recklessly exploiting their admiration and affection for him. A scumbag to the extre, yet in so ways, people like him were as hard to crush as cockroaches.
After all, people need dignity as much as trees need bark. Without bark, a tree perishes. Without dignity, a person becos invincible!
Gu Zekai was *the* typical example of an “invincible” person.
For soone like him, it wouldn’t be surprising if he pulled so petty sches to avoid complete downfall. Since she had taken over this matter, she intended to handle it thoroughly and leave him no chance to turn the tide!
The lights in the mansion were all turned off, and since returning, Rong Yan hadn’t seen a certain soone, automatically assuming he was busy in the study.
She didn’t think twice, using the moonlight outside to turn the door knob and enter her room. In the pitch-black darkness, she reached out, fumbling to switch on the lights.
Just then, suddenly, her wrist was grabbed. The next mont, she found herself pressed against the wall nearby. Her wrists were firmly restrained, leaving her unable to move. A familiar scent of Mint Agarwood Fragrance enveloped her, the man’s heated breath brushing over her face. Shocked at first, Rong Yan collected herself, her vision gradually adjusting to the room’s dimness. She could barely make out the outline of the man’s features in front of her.
She twisted her wrists but couldn’t break free. Frustrated, she had no choice but to confront the man holding her hostage. “Li Shengxiao, why didn’t you turn on the lights if you were in the room? I thought you were in the study—you scared !”
After speaking, she realized the room fell into silence. The man holding her didn’t seem inclined to answer her.
Suppressing her irritation that had risen to her chest, she forced herself to endure it and continued, “You’re grabbing ; does that an there’s sothing you need to say to ?”
“…It’s really uncomfortable for you to hold like this. Let go first, and then we can talk.”
In the darkness, the man’s eyes glowed like deep, smoldering flas, as if eager to burn her to ashes. Finally, as she continued to struggle, the man, who had been silent until now, spoke: “Why don’t you ever ask ?”
Rong Yan stood there like a student being punished, her wrists still tightly gripped, feeling extrely uneasy. After wriggling fruitlessly for quite a while, she finally lost her temper and snapped, “You have to let go of first before I can ask!”
