C7 (1/2)

Long Shengjie pointed his finger at her and laughed, ”Ye Jia, you fool. Do you really think you can escape from the Plum Tree? I'm just teasing you! ”

”You!” Ye Jia was furious again, she knew that he would not die so easily! Ye Zichen clenched his teeth and said, ”I don't care if your Third Bro skinned you, I don't need to help you piece together the map!”

”You dare not help me?! I told big brother that you bullied me! ” Long Shengjie threatened.

”I... Can't I help you? ” Ye Jia kneeled on the floor and put the picture into the box beside her. Then, she turned around and walked towards the bedroom door.

”Where are you going!” Long Shengjie asked from behind her.

”Where else do you think I can go?” Ye Jia said angrily.

Long Shengjie smiled as he watched her leave. He raised his voice, ”Ye Jia, you can't run away! I can't bear to part with you!”

Of course, she wanted to escape from this mansion, but she didn't have the chance. Long Haoxuan didn't know how long he would have to torture her for. Also, even if he let her go, would she still have the face to return to the Ye Family, to Ye Xiangfei's side?

The sky was already dark, and Ye Jia no longer needed to be squeezed by Sister Ling to rest. She stood in front of the bedroom that filled her with fear. She felt that she would rather keep working than stay in it.

Even though she had lived in this cold for almost half a month, she still felt miserable. She hesitantly walked in, and the first thing that entered her eyes was the half-completed jigsaw puzzle in the middle of the bedroom. She still had four days to finish it.

It sounded like a long time, but there wasn't much time left for her to do this. Sister Ling held her tightly, so much so that she didn't even have a chance to breathe.

Taking a light breath, Ye Jia pulled up her clothes and kneeled on the floor to complete this seemingly simple task, but it was actually not simple at all. The jigsaw puzzle that he had originally thought was an all-powerful one was becoming more and more difficult to complete.

Only when she was on the verge of falling down did Ye Jia finally get up from the ground. The moment she stood up, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open. Who else could possibly slam the door like that other than Sister Ling? Even Long Haochen wouldn't use such a method to enter.

Long Haochen! His every movement was charming, but also cruel, like a chestnut in full bloom.

Ye Jiayi stood in the middle of the bedroom and looked at Sister Ling, who had a dark face. There was a trace of jealousy on her face. Jealousy? Ye Jia didn't understand where this feeling came from. Wasn't she supposed to sympathize with him?

”Go to the young master's bedroom after washing up!” Sister Ling's voice was as loud as a bell, causing Ye Jia to freeze on the spot. The feeling of humiliation rushed towards her head! Long Haochen! That devilish man actually made such a request to her, and he really treated her like a call-girl?!

”Did you hear that?!” Ling raised her voice and shouted.

”Yes.” Ye Jia lightly replied. She finally knew why Sister Ling was so jealous of her. It seemed that in her mind, becoming Long Haochen's bed slave was an honor.

It was the first time Ye Jia seriously sized up Sister Ling. She seemed to be around 30 years old, and her slightly fat body could be considered long. She was the kind of woman that no one remembered. Maybe she was deceived by Long Haochen's beautiful appearance? Apart from her, who knew how abnormal that demon Long Haochen was?

Sister Ling left. Ye Jia was stunned for a few minutes, knowing that she had no way to resist. She then walked into the bathroom and washed herself with hot water. After turning off the water valve, she walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror. She carefully observed her body.

What used to be a snow-white body was now branded with the imprint of that man, the new and old red and purple …

Closing her eyes, she couldn't bear to continue watching. Pulling on her snow-white bathrobe, she walked out of the bathroom and left the bedroom. Long Haochen's bedroom was right next to hers, so despite her best efforts, she managed to reach it very quickly.

Standing at the door of Long Haoxuan's room, Ye Jia mustered up her courage and knocked on the door with the mindset that if worst comes to worst, she would die. Two, three times, there was still no response, so she took the initiative to open the door and walked in.

There was only a dim yellow light in the room, making it seem somewhat dim. Ye Jia's eyes swept over Nougat's bedroom. She didn't see Long Haoxuan's figure, but instead a strange jigsaw puzzle on the wall. The reason why she called it strange wasn't because it was big, but because of the picture on it. It wasn't a mountain or a river, nor was it a human or any other pattern. She couldn't tell what it was either.

What surprised her the most was that it seemed the same as the one Long Shengjie had allowed her to piece together in four days. No wonder she couldn't find the way out no matter how hard she tried. It turned out to be such a complicated design.

Ye Jia forgot where she was and whose bedroom she was in. She looked at the pictures on the wall and memorized them in her head.

While she was trying to figure out the trick, her waist suddenly tightened and her body unsteadily fell into someone's embrace. Ye Jia was startled by the sudden hug, but the panic only lasted for a moment before she quickly returned to normal. After so many days of interaction, she was no longer as pale as she had been in the beginning.
