Chapter 372 - You Owe Me Another Favor (1/2)
Chapter 372 You Owe Me Another FavorLi Tianci had already filled the cup in front of Xia Yu and faintly persuaded. “Would you like to drink some water first? I don’t think you look good.”
Xia Yu’s patience was about to be worn out by him. He got her into this shitty temple which was from nowhere. They took a lot of effort to get her here. But he just asked her to accompany him to eat and drink tea while talking.
Xia Yu did not take the cup but asked coldly, “Mr. Li is probably very busy, and I am busy as well. So, these unnecessary courtesies should be exempted. Everyone saves some time. You must have some requirements to talk about with me since you have taken such great pains. Or did I offend you? Let’s not mince matters. What do you want on earth?”
Xia Yu simply clarified everything. But she did not manage to predict that Li Tianci only smiled helplessly. He took the kettle and sat down on the old-fashioned wooden armchair again. He stared at Xia Yu so lazily. Xia Yu was inexplicably flustered by his stare.
“Mr. Li?”
Li Tianci only smiled again coldly. He rubbed the armrest of the old-fashioned wooden armchair with his palm and slowly said, “We just talked about it, didn’t we? My brothers were so stupid to offend you, so now I am apologizing to you.”
“There’s no need. If Mr. Li has nothing else, I shall go first.”
“Must you go against me, Miss Xia?”
“What do you mean?”
The man in front of her lowered his head and tidied the Buddhist beads hanging around his chest.
“Nothing. I just want you to have a meal with me. But you don’t want to enjoy the meal with me, and you even refused to have a glass of water.”
Xia Yu felt that a chill took root from the soles of his feet which gradually entangled her like a vine. It became tighter and tighter so that Xia Yu felt almost suffocated. She braced herself against the table, lowering his head and gasping constantly. She carelessly knocked over the glass of water at hand. There was still some temperature in the water, all of which was poured on her clothes all at once…
There was no paper towel on the table. Li Tianci simply came over and pulled the hem of his scorpion to help her wipe the water off. The tea was already sliding down her clothes. Li Tianci wiped it off quite carefully.
“See? Am I so horrible?” He said while wiping. He did not notice that the hem of his scorpion had been picked up a lot by him.
Xia Yu saw his round belly, and a small piece of tattooing on his belly appeared in front of her as the clothes were picked up. It was the claw of a dragon which was stretching its sharp fingers, looking terribly ruthless and ferocious
Li Tianci had already wiped the water stains off her clothes, but she stood still stiffly, staring at the small piece of tattooing which was exposed outside.
Dragon claws were hidden under the soft blouse, and the Buddhist beads hung around his chest. A jade, on which a statue of Guanyin was carved, was hanging underneath. It just pressed on the dragon claws.
Xia Yu only felt that a chill came out of the soles of his feet, and fear came to her like a huge wave.
Xia Yu suddenly got the courage from nowhere and turned around to run outside. Li Tianci was tidying his own clothes after wiping the clothes for her. A dark figure flickered before his eyes, and he was actually stunned for a few seconds. Xia Yu had already run to the door, and she took a lot of effort to push the thick wooden door open in front of her. Then there was sunshine everywhere as well as birds’ twitter and fragrance of flowers. She couldn’t help gasping. When she lifted her foot and was about to cross the threshold, a tall and thin figure appeared outside the door.
Xia Yu’s heart suddenly gave out a jerk.
Xia Yu’s hair was seized by Li Tianci from behind, and she was dragged into the house. The heavy wooden door was kicked by him, and it was closed gradually in front of Xia Yu. It was warm and sunny with birds and flowers outside the yard. There were still the cold eyes of the man standing outside the door.
Li Tianci slammed her back against the edge of the table heavily. The dishes on the table were smashed into the ground with cracks.
Xia Yu felt a harsh pain on her left foot and was almost unable to stand steadily. Fortunately, Li Tianci stepped forward to grab the front part of her clothes so that she did not fall down directly.
The birds outside the window were not twittering anymore, and the sunshine seemed to have hidden in the clouds. The room was silent deadly.
Li Tianci, glaring at her with bloody red eyes, seized her clothes and went up to slap her in the face twice.
“Do you fucking want to run? Run! Just run again!” He dragged Xia Yu to another side while swearing. Xia Yu’s left foot could not move, so she was almost dragged by him to move
Li Tianci lifted his leg and kicked her in the knee heavily. She suddenly lost his balance and then fell to the soft bed aside all at once.
“Bitch ! How dare you want to run away! Look around! Do you fucking want to run again? Run! Just run again!” Li Tianci loosened his belt around his waist and whipped Xia Yu more and more heavily and harshly with it like crazy.
Xia Yu held her own arms to hide at first but could only curl up at the corner of the soft bed at last as she could not manage to shun away at all.
Li Tianci whipped her for a while and sat down beside Xia Yu as he might be tired. He dragged Xia Yu out of the corner. The durable leather belt was still in his hand and was bent into a circle. He then lifted the chin of Xia Yu with the belt.
Xia Yu had her eyes opened drily and was still breathing. But Li Tianci squinted his eyes and laughed. “You are so tough, aren’t you? You just keep silent, huh? You are indeed Young Master Yan’s girl.”
“Shen Yan will not let you go.” Xia Yu said with hatred.
“I know. But since you are here, it is not necessarily who will have the final say.” Li Tianci smiled again. “Do you think how much trouble you have brought me?”
“You deserve it.” As a low and magnetic voice drifted past, Li Wen’s tall and lazy figure appeared in the Buddhist temple.
Li Tianci was stunned at first and then greeted him with a smile. “It turns out to be Young Master Li.”
Li Wen went up and directly slapped on him. “Who do you think it is?”
“Nothing, nothing!” Li Tianci continued to smile apologetically, wondering in his heart why the playboy would come over.
He was a troublemaker. Li Tianci was in a sweat with anxiety.
“Do you feel hot?” Li Wen looked at him half smiling. “Look at you! A rogue should imitate others to practice abstinence from meat and say prayers.”
“No, no!” Li Tianci rushed to wipe off the sweat on his head with his clothes. But new sweat came out again so quickly that he couldn’t wipe it out.
