C399 (1/2)
Following Wuqing, Wang Shilin worriedly entered Hua's bedroom. It was a dark gray leather sofa, black glass walls, and a luxurious interior bar. The room was dark and cold, giving off a cold aura just like Hua's room.
”Young Master Hua, I've brought her.” Heartless said.
”Yes.” Leaning against the luxurious double bed, Hua Qianlou's eyes were narrowed as a trace of leisure could be seen within them.
That bed was the source of her nightmare. It was on this bed that she had lost the most precious thing in her life!
Her whole body started to tremble as an inexplicable sense of fear overcame her. Wang Shilin pursed her lips, her fingers digging into her palms as her eyes started to glow.
Hua QianXun slowly opened his eyes as his black pupils swept over Wang Shilin who was standing in front of the bed.
The wide black robe tightly wrapped around her already small body, making her seem even thinner, as if a gust of wind was enough to let her drift away. Her long hair flowed down her face, covering half of her face, not seeing the expression on her face.
”Speak, what request do you have?” Hua Qian Xun's low and deep voice sounded out as he asked.
Wang Shilin raised her head and looked at Hua Qianlou in confusion. Request? What do you mean?
”You don't understand?”
Wang Shilin nodded.
”I, Hua Qianlou, have never liked owing anything to others. I will allow you to make a request!” Hua QianXun's voice was calm, but his aura was not as cold as it used to be.
”Really? Can I ask for anything? ” Wang Shilin's eyes widened in disbelief, a surge of joy in her heart. Maybe she still had a chance.
”Except for your life!” The hawk-like eyes stared hard at her.
The hope that she had just ignited was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water. Wang Shilin lowered her head in disappointment.
”You are a member of the capital's Wang family. Your life can only be in my hands.” A domineering tone, a resolute determination that could not be denied.
”However …” ”Since you have saved me, I do not plan to take your life for now. Wait for the time being when I think the deadline is right, and then come and take it back myself. So don't even dream about escaping!” Quiet And Steadfast's eyes couldn't see the bottom.
Although she could not ignite the flame of hope, she had to persevere, even if it was just a weak flame. She could not die, and her heart was filled with love and kinship, so she had to seize every opportunity to live.
As for the future variables, no one could predict them, could they?
”Can I leave now?” Wang Shi Lin held her breath and asked carefully.
If he were to leave this place, the chances of survival would be higher!
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the door.
”Come in.”
”Sir, this is your stew supplement, please drink it while it's still hot.” The person who entered was a middle-aged woman in her fifties. She had a round face and seemed to be a kind person. From the way she addressed Hua Qianlou, she was probably a servant here.
”Yes.” Hua Qian Xun replied indifferently.
The maid walked around Wang Shilin and placed a cup of tonic on the bedside table. Wang Shilin slightly moved her feet to give way.
After putting down the tonic, the female servant quietly left, closing the door softly behind her.
”What did you just say?” Hua Qian Xun picked up the bowl of tonic, scooped up a spoonful of it and tasted it. He glanced at Wang Shi Lin and asked.
Wang Shilin stared straight at the tonic. It was so similar, the scene of Wang Tianlong drinking the Infant's Embryo Soup suddenly flashed through her mind. She suddenly felt a chill go down her body and into every pore.
”You … You... You want to drink this too? ”
”What?” Hua QianXun asked as he lifted his cold eyes to stare at Wang Shilin.
”Why are you all so cruel? They were once living people. Don't you feel guilty eating them like this? ” Wang Shilin's face was flushed with excitement.
”Us?” Upon hearing Wang Shilin's unfathomable words, Hua QianXun's sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, showing a trace of puzzlement on his face.
”Isn't it? Aren't you drinking the same kind of soup as Wang Tianlong? ” The nature of demons is always the same.
”Infant Fetal Soup?” ”Hmph. Don't compare me to Wang Tianlong!” Damn woman, how could he drink such a vulgar, crude, elegant thing like her! She had seen Wang Tianlong in the past, so he had to use some baby embryo stew to nourish himself.
Did I misunderstand him? Could it be that what he drank was a normal tonic?
Wang Shilin lowered her head in embarrassment and twisted her fingers. Her face turned red.
After a long while, she slowly raised her head and stammered, ”Eh …” That... ”Sorry, it seems like I misunderstood you. I thought you guys would all drink that kind of stuff.”
”Seems like you understand Wang Tianlong very well! Should I return you to him? ” Hua Qianlou narrowed his cold eyes and said.
”What did you say?” Is he my uncle? ” Wang Shilin said with a hint of anger.
Although the two of them were uncles and nieces, the actual age difference wasn't that great.
