Rong Yan still maintained a smile on her face, and though her expression was calm, her heart was beating fast as if it was about to fly out if she opened her mouth

He fixed his calm and indifferent eyes at her. Rong Yan’s hands, that were placed under the bedsheet, unknowingly clenched. She did not feel any pain when her fingernails dug into her palms and pierced through her skin.

It was not until she felt a sudden burning pain from the left side of her face that her tensed heart relaxed.

It was okay. It was okay. If he did not hit her, she really could not be sure of what the man was thinking. However… since he hit her himself, it proved that she might… not die.

People who showed their anger were always easier to deal with than those who hid their emotions.

It was said that Liancheng Yazhi had an indifferent personality and that only a few people could make him angry, make him give them another glance, and make him care. He was always cruel to things he did not care about.

But since she could make such a calm man angry, it showed just how much of an influence she still had over him. If he did not care, he would not even want to hit her.

Sure enough, she heard him say, “I never beat women. You are the first.”

Rong Yan stuck out her tongue, a sweet smile on her face as she licked the blood from the corner of her lips. Ignoring the burning pain on her cheek, she said with a smile, “Thank you, I’m very honored.”

She had to risk it all. A woman who was willing to risk everything did not need self-respect, dignity, and even pride.

Were those things valuable? Could it fill one’s stomach? Could it save lives?

No.
