âSnapâââ
The room suddenly got illuminated.
Bringing into sharp relief the manâs wicked face.
The malevolence in his black eyes is as cold and sinister as a cold-blooded animal. His aquiline nose casts a shadow under the lamp light.
His lips are purplish-black, curving upwards slightly at the corners, exuding a nauseating frivolity.
âYou never learn, do you? You always need to suffer before you settle down.â
âMmm mmm!â
A strip of tape covered Qin Youxuanâs mouth. Seeing the man approaching, she made an excited sound.
âShhâââ
âBehave, and I might be inclined to chat with you for a bit. But if you wish to scream your lungs out, I donât mind. Nobody is here to hear you anyway.â
The man laughed wickedly, and in an instant, his eyes changed, casting a cold glance at Qin Youxuan.
âHowever, I dislike disobedient women. If you upset me, I might just cut out your tongue or scar your face.â
He slapped Qin Youxuanâs cheek lightly twice, âImagine how much of a waste it will be if this beautiful face of yours got marred.â
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan glared at him, as if wishing her gaze could bore a hole right through him.
What a pervert!
The petite body continued backing up, hoping to distance herself from him just a bit more.
Itâs been three days, seeing the manâs sinister eyes daily, and still Qin Youxuan couldnât get used to it.
Each time she saw his eyes, she would have the illusion of being stared at by a venomous snake.
âRest assured, as long as you behave, I wonât hurt you.â
The man walked forward, ripping off the tape from her mouth.
âWho the heck are you?â Qin Youxuan moved further back toward the bed, right against the wall, her eyes vigilantly staring at the man before her.
âIâve introduced myself before, you can call me Wu Qing, or just Qing.â Wu Qing glanced at her retreating figure, his lips curling into a cold smirk.
âAs I said, if you behave, I wonât touch you. Thereâs no need to be scared. On the contrary, I can tell you some good news.â
âI am sure there wonât be any good news coming from your mouth.â Qin Youxuan averted her gaze, looking at him with disdain.
Sheâs been missing for three days, kept in this ghostly place for three days.
The man who called himself Wu Qing would bring her food daily, and she never saw anyone else.
This place was like a haunted house, holding a madman and her, the hostage.
âIâm intrigued by your untamed spirit. Even as a prisoner, you still dare to assert yourself like a queen.â Wu Qing got closer to Qin Youxuan, gripped her chin, and laughed coldly, âHasnât anyone ever told you that women like you arouse a manâs desire to conquer?â
âIâm certain youâre not ready to become a eunuch.â Qin Youxuanâs gaze hardened, and she lifted her head violently, trying to hit him.
Wu Qing skillfully dodged, avoiding her attack.
Qin Youxuan, however, was thrown off balance and found herself leaning against the wall. She glared at him furiously.
âIf you dare lay a finger on me, I assure you, youâll see a lifeless body right away!â
If she was abused, sheâd rather choose suicide.
âYou do have quite a character, no wonder Mr. Jie, whoâs known to shun female company, still keeps you by his side.â Wu Qing steadied himself, casting an indifferent glance at the infuriated Qin Youxuan. It seemed like he had predicted her reaction, and he didnât even get angry.
The atmosphere felt oddly chilling.
He left the room, only to return with two boxes of food. He placed them on the table.
âItâs dinner time. Since Iâm in a good mood today, Iâll eat with you.â
ââ¦â
Qin Youxuan stared at him, the image of the photo sheâd first seen in Dan Hanjieâs study kept flashing in her mind.
