Returning to A City, I had my assistant further investigate her situation. It turned out that the reason she chose to work at Nightshade was because her mother was diagnosed with uremia a few years ago. An ordinary job couldn’t possibly cover their daily expenses and the expensive dialysis fees, so she had to stay at Nightshade. And that night, when she danced erotically at Nightshade, it was a one-ti thing; she wasn’t one of the dancers there.
Knowing all this, my anger subsided a bit. I had Old He find her and give her an employnt contract. If she signed the contract, she could work at the Fei Group. She majored in computer science in college and had good grades; she should be able to handle the job.
The salary and benefits at the Fei Group are top-notch in the industry. Working there should help her get out of her current predicant. But a few days later, Fei Yichen called and told that she didn’t report to work at Fei Group.
Why would she refuse a respectable job and insist on staying at Nightshade? The answer was obvious.
She hates . She would rather work at a place like Nightshade than accept my help.
This realization made very angry. What made even angrier was that she was willing to sell her body for money.
In fact, as long as she ca to and asked for help, I would have unhesitatingly aided her. But she was too stubborn. She would rather give up all her pride and dignity in front of others, sinking into an irreparable situation, than co to for help.
Doesn’t she want to maintain the last bit of ludicrous dignity in front of ? Fine, let’s see how she reacts when she realizes that the money sponsor who wants to buy her is .
The result was as I imagined. When she saw in the presidential suite, she was stunned, standing there as if she had been cursed with immobility.
The surprise and fear on her face were all captured by my eyes. I reveled in her changing expressions, feeling a sadistic pleasure in that mont.
Doesn’t she dislike ? Doesn’t she not want to see ? Then I’ll make sure she has no choice but to see .
She recovered from the shock and wanted to escape, but I didn’t want to give her a chance. I lunged forward and pulled her into my arms.
The familiar scent made want to sink into it, but the trembling body in my arms reminded that she didn’t want to touch her. She resisted with both body and soul.
She lowered her head, thinking that I wouldn’t recognize her that way. Ha, how silly and naive she was!
I looked at her with eyes full of sarcasm, laughed coldly, and saw her bite her pale lips tightly, her body curling into a ball. My heart twisted painfully, burning with an unbearable heat.
If I’m in pain, I won’t let her feel any better.
"What’s this, surprised to see ? After all, we’re old acquaintances. Leaving without a word seems a bit rude, doesn’t it?"
I forcibly lifted her chin, making her raise her head. She began to struggle violently but couldn’t overpower my strength, "Is this how you treat your sponsor?"
I knew those words would deeply wound her pride, but I couldn’t help saying them. Seeing the fleeting pain in her eyes, my heart wrenched, but there was no taking back the words once spoken.
I opened my mouth, wanting to say sothing to make up for it, but saw her suddenly smile, her eyes filled with detachnt, "So it’s Mr. Leng. I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you just now."
Her eyes were big and bright, her palm-sized face as white as snow, beautiful and striking, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes.
There was a cold distance in her eyes, no ripples of emotion at all, as if I were no more than a speck of dust to her. This made feel both pain and unwillingness.
"Mr. Leng? After three years, you’ve beco distant." I hid my emotions well but struggled to find a hint of the old light in her eyes; ultimately, my effort was in vain.
"Mr. Leng and I aren’t familiar, so there’s nothing to talk about in terms of distancing."
I clenched my fists, sneering, "Really? So sleeping together doesn’t count as familiarity?"
"You know the truth, Mr. Leng. What you said to back then, I rember clearly."
Lin Yixun’s words undoubtedly reminded of what happened back then. In the year we were married, I almost never set foot in our marital ho, let alone touched her.
Back then, my heart was full of hatred, always thinking about revenge, so I naturally didn’t touch the enemy’s daughter. But now, Lin Yixun’s indifference made suddenly change my mind.
"Are you resentful that I never touched you back then? If that’s the case, it can be redied."
Seeing her eyes widen in disbelief, my tightly twisted heart felt a rush of pleasure. She was cold to , wasn’t she? She wanted to cut ties with , didn’t she? How could I let her have her way?
"Sorry, Mr. Leng, I’m not doing this deal anymore."
She turned to leave, but how could I let her get what she wanted?
Tonight, she’s not going anywhere!
"Lin Yixun, three years, and you’re still so naive?"
When she opened the door, I took a few swift steps and intercepted her easily.
The mont my body pressed tightly against her back, I felt a strange sense of relief.
Leng Yixiu, Leng Yixiu, haven’t you always wanted to have her? Since that’s the case, what are you still waiting for?
At the sa ti, deep in my heart, another voice spoke: Leng Yixiu, you can’t do this. If you do this, Lin Yixun will hate you even more.
In the end, desire triumphed over reason. I picked her up and threw her heavily onto the large bed behind . Ignoring her resistance, I pressed down on her tightly.
After three years apart, her body had beco even more emaciated, making one instinctively want to protect her. Yet, the fear and hatred in her eyes fiercely stabbed at my heart.
Does she despise my touch that much? Does she hate that much?
I felt like an injured hedgehog, with all my spikes raised. "Lin Yixun, what do you think you are now? You’re just a whore. Have you ever heard of a prostitute getting to choose her clients? Since you’re selling yourself, why put on an act of being a chaste martyr? Don’t you want money? As long as you satisfy tonight, all this money is yours."
As the words left my mouth, I saw the layers of pretense crack on her face, a trace of hurt flickering in her lifeless eyes.
Looking at Lin Yixun’s face scarred by the banknotes, I belatedly realized what I had just said. I had never imagined I would say such venomous words to a woman, especially the one I couldn’t forget for years.
I opened my mouth, wanting to make up for it, but her hoarse and cold voice interrupted , "Mr. Leng, four years ago, I forced you to marry . That was my mistake, but I’ve already paid the price. I owe you nothing now. Mr. Leng, we’re even."
"Even?"
She wants to cut ties with that much? But what can I do? I don’t want to, not even a little.
Over the past three years, I’ve tried every way to expel her from my world, but in the end, I found that I couldn’t. Only now do I dare to admit that so mories don’t fade with ti but instead beco more profound.
Just thinking that Lin Yixun no longer loves , that she wants to cut ties with completely, makes my reason, which I’ve always prided myself on, instantly vanish.
I grabbed her neck and coldly said, "Do you think you’ve repaid your debt to ? It’s not enough, far from enough!"
How can she say she’s even with ?
When she loved , she recklessly intruded into my life, disrupting it and leaving in ruins.
Now that she doesn’t love , she wants to withdraw and forget everything. How can there be such an easy way out in this world?
The pain in her neck was intense, making it nearly impossible for Lin Yixun to breathe. She had no doubt that Leng Yixiu would take her life in the next second. Leng Yixiu seed very angry, extrely angry.
She didn’t resist, or maybe she couldn’t. Her expression was blank, her eyes full of sarcasm as she looked at . Her calmness made my anger flare even more.
How could she disturb my peace of mind and still remain so composed?
I desperately wanted to see a different expression on her face, so I did sothing crazy.
As the sound of fabric tearing rang out, a flicker of emotion finally appeared on her blank face. No, it should be fear and loathing.
She loathes !
This realization nearly drove mad.
"Still don’t understand? Or do you like sothing different?"
I took off my tie and tightly bound her hands. Finally, I covered her eyes with a black cloth.
There was too much hatred in her eyes, full of sharp sarcasm that left nowhere to hide.
So, I covered her eyes just to hide the hatred in them. I thought, as long as her eyes were covered, I could deceive myself into believing that she still loved , that she was still the sa Lin Yixun who deeply loved .
"Leng Yixiu, you’re drunk. You must be drunk! Look at , see clearly who I am! I’m not Cheng Ying, I am..." In the large room, I heard Lin Yixun’s trembling voice.
"I know, you are Lin Yixun."
How could I not know?
Hearing that she sold herself for money, besides the anger, there was more fear. Just thinking of her being pressed under another man, serving him, drove nearly insane.
So, I left everything in T City and rushed here.
The mont I claid her, she tensed like a drawn bow, curling into a ball and trembling in my arms.
The hoarse sound of her voice reached my ears, like a wounded animal’s whimper. My heart felt like it had been struck hard, but I didn’t stop because everything had already happened and couldn’t be undone.
But I have no regrets because I’ve left my mark on her. She can never cut ties with again.
