Chapter 401: Could There Be So Misunderstanding Between Husband and Wife?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ji Nuan was brought to an extrely large and luxurious villa.
The villa sat on the upper half of a mountain located on the north side of Hai City. It was surrounded by a mountain view on all sides, and both the air and environnt were wonderful. They did not restrict her freedom within the villa, but both her mobile and internet signals were blocked off. Furthermore, there was no way she could leave this place without a car.
They had constructed a rough, winding path down the mountain. There was no way of ascending the mountain easily by foot. There was also the risk of encountering ferocious creatures on the way down.
Ji Nuan was kept to stay.
There was barely anyone inside; only a helper in the kitchen around the age of forty.
The helper was mute. Only by evening did Ji Nuan realize that this helper was not naturally mute. Her tongue had actually been cut off. When she opened her mouth to reveal her severed tongue, the sight was frightening to behold. Thus, when Ji Nuan spoke, the helper could both hear and understand everything she said since she was not born deaf and mute.
In this place, she was served well with good food. After Xiao Luye had personally escorted her to this place, he only left her with the instructions to stay obediently.
After three days of being isolated in this place, Ji Nuan’s composure finally began to slip. In a place like this with no freedom and no signal, aside from eating well and sleeping well, all she did was watch vacantly as the sky repetitively darkened and lightened. If it had been anyone else, they would surely have collapsed ntally. Furthermore, she was accompanied by a helper whose tongue had been severed.
Every ti the helper opened her mouth, Ji Nuan would be fearful. What she feared was not the helper herself, but the people here who actually dared to cut off soone’s tongue. Their cruel actions were clearly sick and perverse.
The action of locking her here right now was also perverse!
On the fourth day, Ji Nuan began to fidget. She tried to step out several tis but was always tugged back by the helper. The helper would make ‘ah, ah, ah’ sounds, saying god-knew-what while pointing at the dense forest outside. She was indicating that it was dangerous outside, and without a car, she would definitely et with a difficult situation; she absolutely could not leave.
Ji Nuan could only sit in the villa yard helplessly. In her hands, she held her phone that was fully charged but had no signal. She made repeated attempts to dial 110, to dial Mo Jingshen’s number, and dial the number of everyone she knew but to no avail.
On the fifth day, Xiao Luye ca. He was holding what seed like a rabbit he had personally hunted on the mountain.
The rabbit was soaked in blood and was brought in by a guard holding onto its ears. For the past few days, Ji Nuan had not been sleeping well, so her eyes were surrounded by dark circles. She raised her head when she saw Xiao Luye enter and could not help but ask: “Until when do you plan to keep locked in here?”
Xiao Luye glanced at her expressionlessly and took the rabbit from the guard, tossing it before her.
Ji Nuan subconsciously shifted back to avoid it. She lowered her head to look at the blood-soaked rabbit and instantly felt a chill run through her body. She raised her head to look at him: “Are you sick in the head?”
“Have you seen a ntally ill person feed his captive a roasted rabbit?”
Ji Nuan took another glance at the dead rabbit on the ground and shifted a further step backward. “I’m not interested in eating it.”
Xiao Luye expressionlessly walked past her. When he entered the villa, he saw that there were still breakfast dishes laid on the table, all untouched. He turned back to eye Ji Nuan: “Does Miss Ji not find the food to your taste, or are you trying to protest by starving yourself?”
Ji Nuan sized him up and replied mildly: “You’re not related to in any way. Even if I were to starve myself to death here, it wouldn’t be to any effect. Why would I use such a silly thod to protest? After being locked in this place like an idiot for several days, anyone would lose their appetite. I can’t stomach anything.”
Xiao Luye offered her another glance and chuckled coldly: “At least you’re sensible.”
Ji Nuan glanced at him: “Taking my sensibility into account, can you at least tell what you’re trying to accomplish by locking here? Although I’m being treated well and eating well, and it doesn’t seem like much, but this sort of treatnt is even harder on my ntal state. What sort of grudge do we have between us? Why do you have to torture like this?”
Xiao Luye coldly shifted his gaze away and did not answer her question. He sat by the dining table and ordered the helper to bring a new set of cutlery over. He composedly ate the breakfast specially prepared for her and said, “Miss Ji, co over and sit. Let’s chat.”
Ji Nuan approached but did not sit down. She stood by the table and kept a suitable, safe distance from him.
Xiao Luye did not insist she sit down. Seeing her wary posture, he indifferently spoke: “It seems like I’ve underestimated your worth in Mo Jingshen’s heart. He is indeed much crueler and more composed than I thought. Even though it’s almost five days since he received the news about taking you captive, he still hasn’t done anything.”
“Is that so?” Ji Nuan appeared extrely calm on the surface.
“Aren’t you heartbroken and upset? Your husband has not asked any questions about you in the past few days. He hasn’t made any movent whatsoever.”
“What’s there to be upset about? There were already existing problems between us. It’s normal for him to pay no attention to .”
Xiao Luye watched her for a mont with a cold smile: “Why do I feel that you want to cry, then?”
Ji Nuan coldly glanced at him. Her expression was mocking: “Do I look like I’m about to cry?”
She clearly despised and refused Xiao Luye’s perverse intentions. Her tone was impolite: “He is a man who no longer loves . No matter how cruel he is to , it won’t surprise . I’ve already cried all the tears I needed to cry. Is there a need for to cry in front of soone like you?”
Xiao Luye carelessly pursed his lips: “It seems like CEO Mo is truly not that invested in you. I thought he would secretly make so movents, but he hasn’t done anything at all. He clearly doesn’t intend to interfere with your life and death.”
Ji Nuan glanced at the man who was intentionally stabbing her heart with his words: “Oh.”
Xiao Luye suddenly lost his smile. “Since Mo Jingshen doesn’t want you, how about you follow from now on?”
Ji Nuan: “CEO Xiao, do you have so misunderstandings about the concept of a married woman? Follow you? Let’s not even talk about why I would want to follow you, I’m still carrying the label of Mrs. Mo on my head. What right do you have to demand for to follow you? Furthermore, we’ve only t once. This is our second eting.”
Xiao Luye leaned back against the chair. His tone was as cold as ever. “I’ve ntioned this before, you sent my rabbit to Qin Siting. Right now, you’re simply a replacent rabbit. Since you’re a replacent, there’s no need for any feelings between us. All you have to do is to stay in your cage obediently. Eat whatever I feed you and do whatever I make you do. There’s no need for a reason.”
“You’re really sick in the head.” Ji Nuan impatiently knitted her brows. “Since Mo Jingshen doesn’t intend to save , are you still going to keep here?”
Xiao Luye did not speak to her as he watched her, staring at her expression. It was unclear what he was planning on doing.
