Chapter 122: A Slap to the Face (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
During her entire lifetime to date, Qiao Lian had only endured two slaps to her face.
One was the slap that she received from Yang Lingsi last time.
The other, was the one that was just inflicted to her face by Wang Wenhao.
Men generally had greater strength than women, and Wang Wenhao had just slapped her in a furious rage. Hence, Qiao Lian's head reeled from the slap. She was completely dizzy and started seeing stars in her vision. There was a metallic taste in her mouth and she felt some of her teeth loosen.
Her arms were tightly restricted by the two bodyguards, leaving her unable to move. Her face was slightly tilted and the intense pain made her realize that her face must have been bruised by the slap.
Each and every movement that she made was accompanied by an intense, swelling pain.
Qiao Lian narrowed her eyes and violently turned her head back.
She clenched her teeth and looked at Wang Wenhao, only to see Wang Wenhao walk forward and grip her chin in one swift motion.
Shen Liangchuan had frequently gripped her chin and she had felt pain every single time he did so. However, she only realized at this moment that Shen Liangchuan was extraordinarily careful when gripping her chin, since the way Wang Wenhao was doing the same action right now felt much more painful than when Shen Liangchuan did it.
At this moment, she felt as though her jaw was about to be shattered.
Red flares appeared in her eyes because of the pain, but she stubbornly refused to tear up.
Wang Wenhao's face inched closer towards hers and he said, ”Xiao Qiao? Heh, this pseudonym suits you well! Your face is indeed quite delicate.”
He used his other hand to slap her already-swollen cheeks, intensifying the pain. ”Ah, there's a handprint on one cheek, but no handprint on the other. That's certainly not balanced at all, so should I rectify the situation for you?”
Qiao Lian clenched her teeth, the corners of her mouth stained with fresh blood. She stared intensely at Wang Wenhao before suddenly spitting at him! Ptui!
She had always been the type of person that responded better to reason rather than coercion.
If this Wang Wenhao intended to use violence to make her beg for mercy, he could banish the notion right now.
