Suddenly, without another word, he rolled off her, quickly put on his clothes, and then picked up her clothes to dress her.
An Ruo didn’t react at all and could only let him do as he pleased.
Soon after he had dressed her, the man picked her up and strode out of the presidential suite.
The car drove in dead silence, with An Ruo not speaking or showing any reaction the entire way.
Her demeanor was like that of a person with no desire to live, and it would tug at the heartstrings of anyone who saw her.
The car stopped at the villa, and Tang Yuchen carried her into the living room.
"Young Master, you’re back," Uncle Tao approached, greeting him respectfully.
Tang Yuchen walked past him, striding towards the stairs. Only after his figure had disappeared did Uncle Tao lift his head, shaking it while he sighed softly.
He had watched Tang Yuchen grow up and knew of his violent temper.
It’s just such a pity for the Young Lady, such a beautiful soul...
Having laid An Ruo on the bed, Tang Yuchen went out to pour a glass of water, into which he added a sleeping pill.
He propped An Ruo up and brought the glass to her lips, "Drink the water."
"Be good and drink the water."
Still receiving no response from An Ruo, he had no choice but to take a sip himself, hold the water in his mouth, then feed it to her mouth to mouth.
Only when he was sure she had swallowed did he let go of her, satisfied, making sure she was lying comfortably and covering her with a blanket.
"Close your eyes and sleep," he said, pressing her eyelids with his hand, and An Ruo obediently closed her eyes.
The sleeping pill was potent, and soon after, her breathing became even.
Tang Yuchen sat by the bed, his dark eyes fixed on An Ruo, feeling something indescribable.
Anyway, it was complicated.
This woman seemed to be having an increasingly significant impact on him.
Her repeated defiance and disobedience enraged him, sometimes to the point where he wanted to strangle her. But he had never truly hurt her, merely punishing her, torturing her, wishing to make her submit and bow her head to him.
If any other woman had opposed him , he would have discarded her long ago, retaliating against her in the most brutal way.
An Ruo was an exception, one that shattered his rules.
The man ran his hand over her pale face, slightly squinting his eyes, "An Ruo, just be obedient, and one day I will eventually let you go. If you know what’s good for you, stop opposing me, and you’ll suffer less..."
An Ruo, deep in slumber, couldn’t hear his words. It would take her many, many years to grasp this logic.
The outcome was always the same, so why not comply? At least it wouldn’t hurt as deeply.
But sometimes, humans just have to fight against fate, refusing to compromise until battered and bleeding.
After sitting in silence for a while, Tang Yuchen dimmed the bedside lamp, leaving only a faint glow in the bedroom, before standing up and heading to the study.
He took out his phone, switched it on, and immediately the ringing went off wildly.
Hah, Yun Feiyang must be going insane with worry by now.
Tang Yuchen pressed the answer button, and Yun Feiyang’s repressed roar came through: "Tang Yuchen, where is An Ruo!"
In contrast to his anger, Tang Yuchen seemed very nonchalant.
"Yun Feiyang, are you sure you want to know where she is?"
The person on the other end hesitated for a moment, then asked him coldly, "Is it you who forced her, isn’t it? Tang Yuchen, you’re not a man, you give An Ruo back to me right now, or don’t blame me for being rude!"
