Lin Yixun felt stabbed and bleeding from those two words; Leng Yixiu always managed to effortlessly hit her where it hurt the most, then deliver a fatal blow.
But why, why did he have to treat her ?
She had repaid everything she owed him three years ago. She didn’t owe him anything anymore, so why did he still act as if she owed him a million dollars?
Lin Yixun quickly gathered herself from the initial panic. She even felt somewhat grateful, thankful that the years at Nightshade had given her an inhuman self-healing ability and the skill of disguise.
She suddenly smiled, "Oh, it’s Mr. Leng. Sorry, I didn’t recognize you at first."
Before going out tonight, she had meticulously applied her makeup. Under the dim yellow light, her eyes were big and bright, her palm-sized face was as fair as snow, and her beauty was breathtaking—though the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Mr. Leng?" The man raised a displeased eyebrow, his gaze turning cold. "Three years and you’ve become distant."
"We were never that familiar, so there’s no question of being distant or not."
"Is that so? So, does sleeping together count as familiar?"
Lin Yixun’s expression changed but quickly recovered. She took a deep breath, "Mr. Leng knows very well what the truth is. I remember clearly what you said to me back then."
On their wedding night, he had told her that even if every woman on earth died, he still wouldn’t touch her with a finger. And later, he indeed kept his word.
Leng Yixiu was the kind of person who, no matter how ambiguously Lin Yixun spoke, could catch the key point.
He suddenly laughed, but his smile made Lin Yixun flinch a bit. "Are you blaming me for not touching you back then? If that’s the case, it can still be remedied."
Lin Yixun’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at him as if he were a monster. What did he mean by this? Was he mocking her or humiliating her?
Lin Yixun didn’t understand what Leng Yixiu was up to, but no matter what he intended to play, she had no interest in playing along!
Summoning strength from somewhere, she forcefully broke free and said flatly, "Sorry, Mr. Leng, this deal is off."
Surprisingly, the man did not stop her, letting her walk step by step towards the door.
As her fingers touched the doorknob, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief. But before she had time to celebrate, the man’s mocking voice came from behind.
"Lin Yixun, three years and you’re still so naïve?"
Psychologists often say that to understand what someone is thinking, you should look into their eyes. But sometimes, just listening to their voice will suffice.
And right now, from the man’s voice, she read one message—danger.
Alarm bells rang in her head as she hurriedly opened the door. But as soon as it was ajar, it slammed shut with a "bang," and the man’s strong body pressed tightly against her.
Her body suddenly felt light as the man lifted her horizontally. Before she could react, she was thrown heavily onto the king-sized bed.
Her vision darkened momentarily, and she couldn’t see anything. But she couldn’t bother with that, she turned to get off the bed, yet the man’s body loomed overwhelmingly over her at that moment.
Her vision gradually cleared, and what filled her sight was an enlarged, handsome face.
