Chapter 83 - Do I seem that kind of woman? (2/2)

Is this the face of a person who wants to commit suicide?

Lu Weixue notices that she has pretty features. If he feeds her well, she will turn into a lovely woman. The corner of his lips curls up into a sly smile. ”I am taking you back as my treasure. So, you must find a way to pay me back. If you want to do it by selling your body, I don't mind.”

She slaps him hard on his cheek. ”I am not your treasure, you filthy man.”

He is surprised that she has that much strength despite being so skinny. He rubs his cheek. He probably deserves it. ”From now on, do as I say. Otherwise, when the men are done with you, I will toss you to the sea to become the food of fishes.”

Her eyes show some fear. Then, it's gone. She looks at him as if he lost his head. ”Fishes won't eat me.”

”...” Did she miss the part where he said that he would throw her to the fishes?

”Get out,” She commands him with a low voice.

Lu Weixue scowls at her. ”Why?”

She gnashes her teeth in anger. ”Didn't you want me to change?”

He steps out of the cabin again and waits outside. After some time, he knocks the door. Nobody answers him.

”I am coming in.” He hesitates before pushing the door. ”It's not like there is anything that I didn't see.”

She is already dressed in his clothes. The clothes are naturally big for her small frame. There is still some sand in her hair. The sash around her waist is tied clumsily. He lets out a breath. She reminds him of a little kid who doesn't know how to take care of herself.

”You don't even know how to wear clothes.” He fixes her clothes, not realizing what he is doing.

She glowers at him vivaciously and pushes him away. ”Keep your hands off me.”

He realizes his mistake. She's still a female. He seems to forget that fact whenever he's around her. He scrutinizes her carefully. He can't tell if she is from a good family or not. But, her attitude is quite strong. An average girl won't have such a temper. In a few hours, she has bitten him, slapped him, punched him, and insulted him without any shame. That's not a bearing of a girl from her good family either.

”Do you have a family who will pay me for saving you?” He asks her in a straightforward manner.

Her grimaces at him. ”No.”

Lu Weixue sighs tiredly. Did he get a piece of extra baggage instead of a treasure? She's old enough to be married. He tries again. ”Do you have a husband or a betrothed who is looking for your return?”

She looks away from him. The pain and hopelessness return in her eyes. The same look that he saw when he found her. Frustrated, he runs his fingers through his hair. Either she has no one or she doesn't want to tell him.

She could have been exiled by her family to that island.

This is inconvenient. Will he get into a problem for saving her?
