Chapter 189: Cheated
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the morning, Wei Xin’s headteacher texted Lin Wan, informing her that Wei Xin hadn’t arrived at school on time. Lin Wan initially assumed that Wei Xin might have encountered heavy traffic due to waking up late and potentially hitting rush hour. It was common for flying cars to get stuck in halfway congestion.
It wasn’t until Lin Wan received Wei Nan’s photo showing Wei Xin bound and gagged that she realized Wei Xin might have been kidnapped. What’s more, the person behind the abduction was likely Wei Nan himself, her biological father!
As expected, after receiving the photo, Lin Wan received another message from Wei Nan.
“Wei Xin wants to ensure her safety in my hands, so she came alone to No. 129 of Xinghua District to find me.”
Lin Wan rolled her eyes at the Al. Although she didn’t want to see her ex-husband, she knew Wei Nan well. If she didn’t comply, he could truly harm their daughter.
“Yu Ni, if Liao Ning arrives at the hotel and I’m not back, have her bring people to No. 129 in Xinghua District to find me.”
“Huh? Okay, but why are you going there, Sister Lin Wan?” Yu Ni was a bit confused.
Lin Wan rose from behind her desk, grabbed her expensive handbag, and replied, “To see my ex-husband.”
With that said, Lin Wan walked out of the office.
Yu Ni didn’t think too deeply about it and simply watched her leave. She couldn’t help but feel that Lin Wan wasn’t going to see her ex-husband; instead, she seemed ready for a confrontation!
When Wei Nan saw Lin Wan arrive alone, he chuckled, emitting a hoarse and unpleasant sound. “So, you actually came, Wanwan.”
Impatiently, Lin Wan furrowed her brows and snapped, “Enough with the pointless banter. Where is Wei Xin?”
“Wei Xin? Wei Xin is at school!” Wei Nan widened his eyes, seemingly mocking
Lin Wan. “Wanwan, didn’t you message her teacher before coming here?”
Lin Wan realized that she hadn’t messaged Wei Xin’s teacher to confirm her presence in school.
Observing Lin Wan’s silence, Wei Nan grew even more delighted. “Wanwan, it seems you truly care about Wei Xin as your daughter. The moment you saw the photo, you hurried over here. In the past, you probably wouldn’t have come alone to a place like this for Wei Xin.”
“Stop the nonsense and hand over Wei Xin. I don’t have time to waste with you!”
“But didn’t I tell you Wei Xin isn’t here at school? Why are you scolding me?” Wei Nan feigned a look of grievance.
Seeing Wei Nan’s pathetic attempt at emotional manipulation, Lin Wan felt a wave of disgust rise within her. This was the exact expression Wei Nan used to coax her when they were younger. Back then, he was still a handsome boy, and such an expression would soften one’s heart. But now, he was nothing more than a slovenly, middle-aged man. Seeing that expression only made her feel nauseated.
Perhaps affected by Lin Wan’s visible disgust, Wei Nan’s expression turned ugly. He spoke fiercely, “If you simply messaged the teacher, you’d know whether Wei Xin is at school or not!”
Lin Wan glanced at him and immediately contacted the teacher. After receiving confirmation that Wei Xin was indeed present in school, Lin Wan ended the call and prepared to leave.
However, Wei Nan had gone to such lengths to lure her here. He wasn’t about to let her leave so easily.
Wei Nan grabbed Lin Wan’s wrist tightly, forcing her to look at him. With an intense stare, he uttered, “Are you truly so heartless that you can’t even spend a little more time with me?”
Lin Wan struggled, attempting to free her wrist from his grasp. “Let go of me!”
“I won’t!”
Lin Wan continued to struggle, but her efforts were in vain. She had no choice but to feign weakness. “Wei Nan, you’re hurting me!”
Upon hearing Lin Wan’s words, Wei Nan momentarily paused, his grip loosening involuntarily.
Lin Wan seized the opportunity to break free from his grip and hastily made a dash towards the door.
However, in her panic, she had forgotten the vast disparity between their mental strengths. As an ordinary person with a D-rank mental strength, there was no way she could outpace Wei Nan, who had achieved an impressive
A-rank and had undergone rigorous training in the army during his youth.
Reacting swiftly, Wei Nan stood his ground and exerted his mental pressure. Lin Wan’s movements abruptly halted, her body immobilized as if trapped in place. Wei Nan effortlessly controlled her through his superior mental strength.
“Wanwan, why are you running? I would never harm you. I simply miss you deeply and long to see you,” Wei Nan murmured as he planted kisses on Lin Wan’s face.
Lin Wan, bound by his mental influence, could only watch helplessly as Wei Nan’s lips met hers.
With ease, Wei Nan pried open Lin Wan’s tightly sealed lips, engaging them in an unwelcome exchange of kisses and tongues. Wei Nan grumbled, “Wan Wan, why are you so unresponsive, like a lifeless block of wood? It’s my fault, now that I recall. I shouldn’t have exerted my mental pressure. I’m sorry..”
