Her eyes, which should have been cold and emotionless, were now tinged with a layer of melancholy and pain. Bai Jingying's trembling right hand stopped in mid-air, unable to press the villa's doorbell.
Her trembling hands revealed the fear in the depths of her heart. Taking this step meant that she would never be able to raise her head in front of Duan Jiongyao, and she would never be able to tell her most sincere feelings to him, who she loved and hated the most.
Her heart seemed to be wandering at a crossroads. After thinking about it for a long time, Duan Jiongyao's threat made her gather her courage and take a step on a path that could never be turned back.
She pressed the doorbell…
Duan Jiongyao appeared in front of her. His cold expression was like the evil Satan, making people shudder.
"I thought you ran away." He laughed at her cowardice.
"If I could be as heartless as you and disregard the lives of others, I wouldn't be here.”She retorted, trying to fight like a trapped beast.
Even if today's situation had doomed her to fail, she could at least retain a trace of self-esteem, stubbornly provoke him, and not easily yield to him.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and your mouth has become even more powerful!”Duan Guiyao lifted her chin roughly.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, but you're still so evil that it makes people hate you.”Bai Jingying glared at him resentfully.
Duan Jianyao pulled her into the room roughly." You better know your place. I didn't ask you to provoke me!”After not seeing her for a few years, her temper had changed quite a bit. She had also become sharp-tongued. The way she looked like she did not take him seriously at all made Duan Jiongyao's anger rise again.
In the past, Zhen 'er treated his words as an imperial edict and obeyed his orders. Other than dealing with Lang Yao, she handled everything else very well. However, he did not expect her to change three years later. She was like a rose full of thorns, constantly attacking him.
He disliked Zhen 'er like this very much, but he couldn't bear to let go.
He had always felt conflicted. Was everything he did punishing her or torturing himself? He knew that she was different from the Zhen 'er of the past, but he still tried to recall her memories and gentleness.
"Do you think I like looking at your face?”If it wasn't because he refused to let her go, why would she humiliate herself?
Duan Guiyao crossed his arms in front of his chest, his broad chest heaving up and down violently. It was not hard to see that he was suppressing his raging anger. While he hated her, he still retained a trace of rationality. He didn't want to get angry, and he didn't want his anger to ruin everything today.
He already had a trump card in his hand, and he was not afraid that he could not subdue this woman who loved to show off!
"You know very well what will happen tonight. Your appearance here means that you have already thought it through. If I do anything bad to your father, don't blame me for being cruel!”He was arrogant beyond compare.
Bai Jingying clenched her fists and loosened them. She tried her best to control her temper. Who taught her to expose her weakness in front of Duan Jiongyao? She admitted it.
"If you want to do it, do it quickly. Don't expect me to have an expression of devotion.”She was going all out. No matter what Duan Jiongyao thought, he just wanted to humiliate her, and she would not be able to escape from his clutches.
Only by surrendering could he ensure his father's safety.
"Humph! I don't like having sex with a dead fish.”He knew that if he used such a despicable method to get her, she would hate him to the bone, but he could not care less.
When he received news of her, every cell in his body was excited. Now, in order to get her, he would not hesitate to use such despicable means.
In fact, it was not until this moment that he realized that he loved this hateful woman. Not only did she cast a curse on him, making him uninterested in other women, but she also made him obsessed with her body and gentleness.
That night lingered in his heart from time to time. He would never forget her beauty for the rest of his life. How could he give up on her?
However, he would never let her know about his infatuation.
Let her hate him!
"How can you expect me to have sex with a man I don't love and still look intoxicated? I can't do it!" He was deliberately humiliating her.
She had already appeared here in a humble manner, and he still wanted to pick a fight with her. Must she pretend to wag her tail and beg for mercy before he would be willing to let her go?
Her words " the man I don't love " were like a sharp sword that pierced Duan Jiongyao's heart. He heard the sound of his heart breaking, but he still pretended to be strong as he looked at Bai Jingying.
"Cut the crap! Don't pretend to be Joan of Arc in front of me. It's disgusting! You should be glad that your body still has value. Otherwise, how could your father live so peacefully until now?”
Her weak body was on the verge of collapse, but she still forced a smile." So, I should thank you for your mercy?”
"Do you think I would like someone else's broken shoes?”
His loathing expression cut deeper into her bleeding heart.
Bai Jingying took a deep breath as tears welled up in her eyes." Where is the room?"”She had given up. She did not want him to hurt her with words anymore. She only hoped that this nightmare would pass as soon as possible.
Her impatient look made Duan Guiyao laugh coldly.
She was really free and easy, wasn't she? Apart from Zhuo Chi, she could also sleep with other men. What kind of demon was he possessed by such a fickle woman that he could not forget her?
This question would probably never be solved.
Bai Jingying's footsteps were heavy, and her heart ached with every step she took. She was already exhausted from walking down this road of love. She also wanted to walk peacefully and calmly, but she was afraid that she would no longer have this chance…
After the passion, the charming atmosphere echoed in the room. Their backs were facing each other, and they had completely different thoughts.
In the quiet room, the sound of their breathing was almost inaudible. A bean-sized teardrop fell down Bai Jingying's pale face. The warmth after the passion could not stir her sorrowful heart. She could only use silence to resist his humiliation.
Suddenly, a large hand wrapped around her waist from behind. She couldn't help but tremble, but there was no expected mocking laughter in her ears. She only heard Duan Jiongyao's deep and charming voice!
"Go to sleep."
He hugged her tenderly and let her lean against his broad and strong chest, as if they were a loving couple. They never quarreled, only loved each other.
Such a gentle voice caused Bai Jingying to once again sink into a state of infatuation, unable to turn back as she reveled in his gentleness.
She quietly wiped away her tears and took his gentleness at this moment as his sincere sacrifice. Her beautiful lips curled into a bright smile.
She was tired. She had to take off her stubborn mask and pretend that they were a loving couple...
The next morning, Duan Jiongyao opened his eyes. Once again, she had left without saying goodbye. He couldn't help but laugh at himself.
Yesterday's entanglement was just a transaction and a game in her eyes. No matter who it was, they could get her body. However, he could not treat last night's sacrifice as a game. After getting her body, he longed for her heart even more. He wanted her body and mind to belong to him completely.
Now, he was really jealous of Zhuo Chi. He could have Zhen 'er's heart, but he could only foolishly hope that she could recover Shu Wuzhen's memories as soon as possible.
Bai Jingying walked out of the kitchen with a cup of tea and smiled at Li Yaqing, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Why are you free to come over today?" Ever since her cousin got married, they rarely saw each other.
"I'm free every day. You're the one who's busier. You're so busy that I can't see you every day.”Li Yaqing said with a smile. Although her delicate face was not very outstanding, her snow-white skin and pure smile were like a kind angel. Anyone who saw her would have the urge to protect her.
"You know! I only did it for the company…"
"Of course I know. Otherwise, I would have come over to scold you long ago.”She pretended to be an evil woman.
"Yes, sir! My good cousin is the most understanding.”Yesterday's bad mood was swept away after seeing her family. Bai Jingying threw away her sadness and wanted to face Li Yaqing with the happiest mood.
"Actually, I came here today to apologize to you.”Li Yaqing said apologetically.
"Why?" Bai Jingying blinked in confusion.
"If I hadn't been brainwashed by Duan Jiongyao and sold Zhuo Cui's shares to him, you wouldn't be in such a miserable state today.”
Li Yaqing lowered her small face, feeling very guilty.
"How can I blame you? I can only blame myself for not being capable. That's why Dad's company fell into the hands of outsiders.”It was all Duan Jianyao's fault for being too cunning!
"What do you plan to do now?"
"We can only take one step at a time!" Her tone was relaxed, but her heart was filled with sorrow.
"I heard from Zhuo Xiong that you're Duan Jianyao's secretary now, but Duan Jianyao only treats you as a vase.”
"Zhuo Xiong is right."
"He's really too detestable! How could he tease you like this? He doesn't put you in his eyes at all!" Li Yaqing wished she could tear the despicable Duan Guiyao into pieces.
"It doesn't matter! I only hope that he can run the company well. I don't care about the rest.”A hint of loneliness flashed across Bai Jingying's eyes…and the corners of her lips curled into a faint smile.
"How can you be so humble and compromise?”Li Yaqing did not agree with her negative thoughts. In the past, how could Jing Ying allow others to treat her like this?
"The matter is already set in stone. No matter how unhappy I am, I can only swallow my tears.”He had already grasped her only weakness. She did not have the ability to resist his attack. Only by obediently obeying him could she ensure her father's safety.
This time, he had come prepared. No matter how she struggled, she was still unable to escape from the palm of the Buddha like Sun Wukong. She could only accept her fate and listen to him. Only then would she not harm her father because of her stubbornness.
"Jingying, you've changed a lot." Li Yaqing said emotionally,"Since you came home, I feel that you are no longer the Jing Ying of the past. You seem to have a lot of things on your mind, right?"”
"You're worrying too much. I'm not worried about anything. I'm just worried about Dad's illness, so I'm frowning.”She sighed faintly and frowned.
"When I went to visit Uncle yesterday, I happened to meet his attending doctor. He said that Uncle's condition has stabilized a lot and he's out of danger.”
"Yes, when I went to see my father yesterday, his attending doctor had already told me the good news.”This was the only good news that could make her smile.
"I'm relieved to hear that Uncle's condition has stabilized.”
"Cousin, I hope you can help me hide the company from Dad.”She was worried that if her father knew that the company had changed hands, his condition would definitely worsen. She could not take this risk.
"I know the seriousness of the matter, but paper can't hide the fire. Uncle will find out one day.”she asked in anticipation.
"I can only hide it day by day." she said with a solemn expression.
It was not that she had not thought about this problem, but she did not have a better way to prevent such a thing from happening, so she could only hide it day by day.
She only hoped that day would not come too soon.
"It's all my fault for being too stupid. I foolishly fell into Duan Jiongyao's trap and really thought that Zhuo Cui had agreed to sell the shares to him. If it wasn't for me, this wouldn't have happened. Zhuo Kong still blamed me and didn't understand me.”She said sadly, and her originally bright eyes instantly lost their luster.
"Is Zhuo Cui good to you?" As Zhuo Chi's ex-lover, it was quite awkward to ask this question, but that was all in the past. She believed that her cousin was not so narrow-minded.
She was concerned about her cousin, and seeing the worry on her face when she talked about Zhuo Chi, she believed that her cousin must have something on her mind at the moment.
"Sigh!" She sighed." Although we grew up together, I always feel that I don't know him well enough. Even though he's my husband now, I still don't understand him.”
"Do you really think so? Could it be that you didn't communicate well?"
"I really want to communicate with him, but he never sat down and talked to me. Sometimes, I even wonder if we're a couple.”
"Cousin, you're thinking too much. Zhuo Cui isn't such a person.”
"Jingying, I've always wanted to ask you, do you hate me for taking advantage of your absence to snatch Zhuo Chi away?”
Bai Jingying shook her head.
"To tell you the truth, when you went missing, I thought that God took pity on my sincerity towards Zhuo Chi and made you disappear from Zhuo Chi's side. I seized the opportunity and ignored everyone's gaze. When Zhuo Xiong pursued me, I quickly accepted him.”
Speaking of the past, Li Yaqing forced a smile. After the baptism of time, she was no longer a blind and ignorant woman.
She couldn't see the affection and thoughtfulness she wanted from Zhuo Cui. That man only wanted to use her.
"When Zhuo Cui first started pursuing me, I was so excited that I thought it was a gift from the heavens, but in fact, it was not the case. After he got married, his dissolute personality came out.”she said with a choked voice.
"Zhuo Cui shouldn't be such a person. He must have married you because he loves you.”
"No, I can't! I'm just a chess piece to help him reach the top in one step. He doesn't love me at all. Back then, he thought that after you disappeared, the person most likely to inherit Anfeng Enterprise was me. That was why he pretended to date and marry me.”she said indignantly.
"Cousin, you should have a good talk with Zhuo Xiong about what you're thinking. I believe he's not an irresponsible man.”
In fact, she had heard about Zhuo Chi and her cousin. She also knew that after she disappeared and reappeared, Zhuo Chi actively displayed his ambition.
Everything was just as her cousin had said. His heart was completely focused on the company, but for her cousin's sake, she did not want to reveal the truth. After all, most people would not be persuaded to leave.
"Jingying, don't blame me for being oversensitive. Don't tell me you've never thought of snatching Zhuo Chi back?”Her eyes suddenly sparkled.
"Cousin, I don't have any extra thoughts to think about relationships right now.”
"It's not that I'm overly suspicious, it's really because…Ever since you came back, Zhuo Cui has been getting colder and colder towards me. I'm worried…"
"Cousin, your worries are unnecessary. Since he has already become my cousin-in-law, I no longer have any feelings for him.”
The reason why she had forgotten her relationship with Zhuo Chi so quickly was because she didn't have much feelings for him. She had dated Zhuo Chi because it was natural.
Everything was so natural. They had grown up together and were used to each other's existence. She thought that this feeling was love, so when Zhuo Xiong proposed to date her, she nodded and agreed without thinking too much.
However, after she met Duan Jiongyao, everything changed. Duan Jiongyao's every move, his aura, his physique, his evil gaze, and so on. His strengths and weaknesses were all her favorite and most beloved.
She clearly understood that this was the true relationship between a man and a woman. Her love had been completely placed on Duan Jiongyao, so she could not go back and accept a relationship that she had mistaken for.
"But he doesn't think so." she said sadly.
" If you really can't control his heart, you might as well give birth to a child for him. I believe that if you're pregnant with his child, he will definitely cherish your life.”Her tone was cheerful and calm.
She didn't want her cousin to misunderstand that she and Zhuo Chi were innocent!
"A child?"
Li Yaqing's eyes lit up as if she had won the lottery.
"Children are the best spice in a couple's life.”
"But…does Zhuo Cui want children?”Li Yaqing looked troubled. She wasn't sure if this method would work.
"If he doesn't want it, won't you force it?”
Hearing this, Li Yaqing's cheeks suddenly turned red.
"I don't dare."
"In this era, women can't be passive anymore. You have to take the initiative to seduce Zhuo Ke so that Zhuo Ke will value this marriage and you can have Zhuo Ke's child.”
"But I…"
Ring...ring... The sudden ringtone interrupted their conversation.
"Sorry, I have to take this call."
Bai Jingying picked up the phone and said hello. Her expression changed slightly. She avoided Li Yaqing's questioning gaze and walked into the kitchen, her voice getting softer and softer.
A sharp and terrifying gaze shot straight at Bai Jingying's back. That pair of eyes filled with hatred would make one shudder.
Li Yaqing changed her weak image and smiled evilly.
That damned woman had actually escaped that calamity!
She had designed that kidnapping case to kill Bai Jingying without anyone knowing. However, she did not expect that the Grim Reaper would not take her life and let her return safely.
When Bai Jingying returned, she was shocked, but she pretended to be happy to welcome her.
After that, she asked the credit bureau to investigate where the two d * mned men who took her money and went to enjoy themselves were hiding. Even if she had to search the whole world, she had to find them and figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Unexpectedly, after finding them, she found out that the two men had been lying to her from the beginning to the end. They took her money to enjoy themselves, but they did not do what she asked them to do.
For Zhuo Chi, she could be so cruel as to kill Bai Jingying. She thought that by killing Bai Jingying, she would be able to rest easy and obtain Zhuo Chi's heart. However, she never expected Bai Jingying's appearance to change the weather in her world once again. Her return alive would only make her hate her even more.
Because after she came back, Zhuo Cui started to be half-hearted again. Did he really think that she, the person who slept beside him, didn't know at all?
When Duan Guiyao first came to her, she wasn't stupid. She knew that there must be a hidden trick, but she obediently handed over her shares without Zhuo Cui knowing because she wanted Zhuo Cui to lose everything. Once Zhuo Kong lost everything, he would naturally return to her side.
However, she had never expected Zhuo Xiong to still be unwilling to give up and continue to pester Bai Jingying. Thus, she had decided that while her uncle was still in the hospital, she would go all out. She had to repeat what had happened six years ago!
Her jealousy had blinded her conscience. She did not care about their relationship at all. She only wanted to get rid of her love rival and make her disappear from this world forever.
As long as Bai Jingying was alive, Zhuo Cui would never have her in his eyes!
This time, she wanted to watch Bai Jingying take her last breath. She would never have the chance to destroy her happiness again!
Li Yaqing's lips curled into a terrifying smile as she looked coldly at the figure in the kitchen.# Review: hch471000 Time:102420182: 31PM #Special
