97: Chapter 97 She is the Cactus 97: Chapter 97 She is the Cactus Lin Xinlan was shocked, “You an, she was murdered?!”
Rong Shaoze nodded, “Zhou Yun was very afraid of death.
At that ti, I threatened her with her life, and she quickly confessed.
If she wasn’t afraid of death, she would’ve told the truth honestly.
So, I’m certain she was forced to commit suicide.”
It was an absolute certainty.
If not forced, who would choose to commit suicide?
“Soone’s after you, aren’t they?
Zhou Yun was actually innocent, just a casualty in the struggle between you and soone else,” Xinlan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
Actually, she wasn’t any saint, but the thought of a living being just gone like that unsettled her sowhat.
Rong Shaoze gave a thin smile, “Why sympathize with her?
Her being driven to death was her own doing.
Having beco my woman, Rong Shaoze’s woman, she should have obediently followed my orders, not betray .
She got greedy at the sight of money, got involved, and t such an end—it’s what she deserved.”
What he said was the truth; if Zhou Yun hadn’t betrayed Rong Shaoze, she wouldn’t have lost her life, either.
But Lin Xinlan still couldn’t stomach Rong Shaoze’s cold-heartedness.
She put down the remote and said indifferently, “I’m going for a walk in the garden.”
Rong Shaoze lifted his gaze to look at her, not seeing her expression, only her long hair and slender back.
Upon reaching the garden, Lin Xinlan watered the cactus a bit, then set the small pot on the stone table and sat on the stone bench, staring at the cactus in the pot.
She liked cacti, needing just a little water and nutrients to survive tenaciously.
Also covered with thorns, no one could get near, protecting itself well.
But the cactus didn’t look as ugly as its exterior might suggest.
If the owner is patient enough in caring for it, it will bloom uniquely beautiful flowers; at that mont, it’s the cactus’s most beautiful ti.
Sotis, she thought, she was the cactus.
But she doubted whether she’d ever have the mont to fully bloom her own beauty…
Maybe she’d wilt and die soon, never reaching the day the flowers bloom.
But as long as there’s a bit of hope and courage, she’ll keep living on tenaciously…
So no matter how tough life gets now, no matter how much sorrow in her heart, she had to persevere, never backing down.
Lin Xinlan was lost in thought when suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind.
“Woman, are you here wallowing in self-pity, deliberately trying to seduce ?” Rong Shaoze nibbled her ear, his voice low and teasing.
“n can’t resist a woman’s pitiful appearance.
Do you know, your just now, it gave quite the feeling.”
Lin Xinlan jumped, moving her head uneasily, not wanting him so close to her.
“Don’t talk nonsense, I wasn’t trying to seduce you.
Let go of quick, before we’re seen by others.”
Rong Shaoze didn’t let her go, following her movents, continuing to kiss her earlobe, breathing hot air that turned her earlobes red.
It was dayti, and this was a garden frequently used by the servants.
Lin Xinlan grew increasingly sensitive, trembling lightly all over, the blush quickly spreading from her ear lobes to her entire face, then down to her neck.
Seeing her embarrassed and flustered, Rong Shaoze was in a great mood, his arm around her waist, his fingers kneading the soft flesh there, now gentle, now firm.
Lin Xinlan pressed his hand, trying to stand up and flee.
