Chapter 244
“I did not permit you to move.”
As the words fell, that leg was lifted again, stopping in its original position, hooked in place by a hand from the sa body.
'Very good.'
Zhong Ning did nothing else. She behaved quite properly as she helped Xie Shiqing wash her entire body—if a thod that left no place untouched could still be called proper.
To her, this was part of the inspection process.
Next, there were still seven days of observation.
But Xie Shiqing’s performance was truly flawless. Whatever Zhong Ning said, she did. If told to raise an arm, she raised it. If told to lower her head, she lowered it. Whether Zhong Ning toyed with the hollow of her waist, held the flesh of her hips, or even pressed a fingertip against the back of her tongue, she did not resist.
She was practically like an oversized doll.
That streak of possessiveness in Zhong Ning’s nature was gradually stirred by such obedience, nearly setting her ablaze.
At night, when they slept, Xie Shiqing lay upon the pillow. With a single tug of Zhong Ning’s hand, she obediently rolled into her arms; with another push, she rolled away on her own.
Haha, this was truly interesting.
Zhong Ning said, 'Smile.'
Xie Shiqing lifted the corners of her lips.
Zhong Ning said, 'Sad.'
Xie Shiqing’s brows drooped, her lips curving downward as well.
Zhong Ning said, 'Angry.'
Xie Shiqing pressed her lips together, her expression tightening.
Zhong Ning watched with delight. Turning over, she pinned Xie Shiqing beneath her, holding her as though cuddling a small dog. 'Little darling, you really are very well-behaved.'
'I like that very much. Keep it up.'
The next day, she asured Xie Shiqing’s ankle and bought a pair of platinum anklets, the kind adorned with tiny bells. When she walked, the chi was crisp and clear.
She washed Xie Shiqing’s face, helped her dress, and fed her als.
In an instant, she discovered the pleasure of keeping a pet.
Unable to resist, she sent feedback to Fu Nanshuang, saying with deep conviction:
【You were right. Keeping a little lover is very enjoyable.】
【Extrely enjoyable, extrely obedient, extrely fun】
Fu Nanshuang replied:
【??? That fast? It’s only been a few days. Who did you find?】
Zhong Ning answered:
【Xie Shiqing. I told her that if she beca my lover, I’d return the Xie family to her.】
Fu Nanshuang:
【… Am I drunk?】
Zhong Ning:
【Of course not. When have I ever lied to you?】
She raised her voice. 'Little darling, turn around.'
Xie Shiqing, who was basking in the sunlight by the window, turned her head and revealed a smile. 'Did Master call for ?'
Zhong Ning took a photo and sent it to Fu Nanshuang. Satisfied, she said, 'You’re very obedient. Is there any reward you’d like? After all, I’m soone who is fair with both rewards and punishnts. Go on.'
Xie Shiqing cautiously stepped closer, her bare feet sinking into the carpet. The deep gray, long fibers covered the tops of her feet, while the clear ringing of the bells grew sharper with each step.
When she reached the sofa where Zhong Ning sat, she lowered herself directly beside it, resting her chin upon Zhong Ning’s leg. In a gentle voice, she said, 'For Master to be willing to take in, I’m already deeply grateful. It should be thanking Master instead.'
'Only, there is indeed sothing I want.'
She bit her lip and said pitifully, 'I have many dicines that I regularly take, and they’re almost gone. If I can’t continue taking them, I’m afraid it may disturb Master’s mood.'
This ti, Zhong Ning was sowhat surprised. She pulled her up and let her sit on her lap. 'What dicines?'
Xie Shiqing recited a long list of drug nas.
Zhong Ning was slightly alard.
So many?
'All of these?' she could not help asking again.
Xie Shiqing nodded, cautiously brushing against her fingertips. 'Is that acceptable?'
'Yes,' Zhong Ning said. 'I’ll call the butler. Tell her directly.'
The butler had been hired from abroad at a high salary. Zhong Ning had been unwilling to keep the previous one, so she recruited a new one herself.
'Michelle, make a note. There are many dicines to purchase.'
Michelle activated the recording function on her phone.
Zhong Ning said, 'Go on.'
Xie Shiqing spoke clearly, repeating every dication na, even specifying the manufacturer and where each could be bought.
Zhong Ning counted this ti—there were more than ten kinds.
She clicked her tongue. 'You take all of these every day?'
Xie Shiqing nodded.
Her dicine had run out. Their prices were prohibitively expensive, she herself was blind, and the money in her hands was far too little. Even investing in stocks or funds required ti.
All the knowledge she had learned was ant for running a company. She had studied musical instrunts, but now she had nothing at hand—she could not even make a living performing.
Moreover… there was still the obstacle of her heat cycle.
If not driven to desperation, how could she possibly have co before her own enemy, bowing and scraping, discarding all dignity, fawning like a dog?
Xie Shiqing bit her lip and said softly, 'I haven’t taken my dicine for two days.'
Zhong Ning added to Michelle, 'It would be best to buy everything today.'
Michelle acknowledged and left the room.
'Does not taking them affect you that badly?' Zhong Ning asked, stroking her cheek, her fingers toying with the thin earlobe.
Xie Shiqing nodded. 'I… I have Pheromone Imbalance Disorder. I must take dicine to manage it. And for my eyes, I also need dication to prevent further deterioration.'
These were things she could not possibly hide. Since she needed Zhong Ning to buy the dicines, she had to be prepared for her condition to be discovered.
Rather than waiting for Zhong Ning to find out, it was better to confess first. It would also reinforce her current image of ekness and obedience.
Before coming here, Xie Shiqing had already steeled herself. No matter how Zhong Ning humiliated or tornted her, she would endure it, accept it, survive.
Though she rarely went out, she still knew many things. For instance, Zhong Ning had never kept a lover before, nor indulged in casual affairs. She was known to be extrely self-restrained.
In that case, Xie Shiqing did not consider herself at too great a loss.
What else could happen? At worst, it was rely sharing a bed.
Since everything could be turned into a weapon, into sothing to be used… why could she not use herself as well?
