C16 (1/2)
He's like a lion in a trap, and he wants her to draw a picture of him as a prison
A banquet that was called off midway was like a soft spot within a heart that was being slashed with the tip of a knife.
The wound would scab and the scar would fade, but the hand holding the knife would inevitably grow into a thorn in the throat as the day wore on.
”You're still laughing?!”
Helian Rong was angered to the point that he even started laughing. The thin layer of ice in his eyes gradually spread to his facial features, causing him to feel as if his entire being had become ice-cold. ”I specifically told that woman not to force you to do such a thing …”
Coincidentally, a hundred meters away from the general's manor was an alley that very few people passed. Helian Rong was infuriated, and did not have the mood to continue walking, so he used a bit of force to push the person into a dead end of the alley. At the same time, he ordered the people who had been hiding in the shadows to guard the alley.
”If she doesn't dare to force you, it means that you are willing to do so. What about it? Is there any new prey you like here? ”
There was even a hint of a smile on his face as he said this. In this situation, he smiled at Liu Yin, and the mockery in his words was self-evident. However, the woman who had thought that he would make a move on her did not have any reaction at all, as she lowered her eyes, she did not look at him nor show any sadness.
”Did I hit the mark?”
Helian Rong let out a cold laugh, but compared to before, this smile evidently carried more anger. ”Who do you like? Did he say that as long as you followed him, you would enjoy an inexhaustible wealth? ”Oh, that's not right …”
A person would normally not be aware of what they had said in their rage, but Helian Rong might be extremely angry. His mind was spinning quickly by accident, and he might even be aware of the mistakes he had made in his words, ”If you want to become rich, you should come to me, right? What is your purpose in coming here in person? Has someone promised … ”
”Will it help you get rid of me?”
Speaking till here, Helian Rong had completely lost his reason.
His personality was irritable to begin with, and now that he was blinded by jealousy, he was even more confused by what he was doing. He only subconsciously forced Liu Yin to the point where he almost stuck to the wall, and then held her shoulders tightly, as if he was going to brand her with his fingers: ”Who is it? I see that the biggest official here is a doctor, is that him? ”
”So what?”
From the moment the two of them stepped out of the gates of the general's mansion, Liu Yin had not said a single word. It was not easy for Helian Rong to wait for her to speak, but who would have thought that his reasoning would explode? ”You …”
”What are you afraid of?”
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Liu Yin's question that seemed like a smile yet was not.
She raised her hand and her slender fingertips streaked across Helian Rong's face. The smile on his face grew wider and wider.
As a result, Helian Rong's heart that was so angry that it was about to explode a second ago was comforted by a laughter that did not reach his eyes just like that.
He gradually calmed down, and the strength in his hands relaxed a lot, but he still did not let go.
Liu Yin did not warn him either. She even allowed her head to be held close to the other party's chest, then nudged him like a spoiled child, ”What are you afraid of? Didn't I tell you that I only like you? ”
”So? What were you doing just now? ” Helian Rong countered with a question, his voice still had some anger, but his tone was much more gentle.
”I'm just teasing you,” she pinched one of Helian Rong's hanging hands as she played with it, replying as if it was a matter of course: ”I want to see how angry you are.”
”The ancients said that the wrath of the Son of Heaven caused millions of corpses to be buried, and the blood to flow for thousands of miles. I don't think I'll ever get the chance to see it again in my life, so I'm just teasing you to see if it's the same with the Lord of Storage's Fury. ”
He did not wait for Helian Rong's reply and followed up: ”I see it now. Although it is not as impressive as what is written in the book, it is still quite frightening.”
Liu Yin held Helian Rong's hand and placed it at the place he was holding just a moment ago, and laughed: ”Look, my shoulder is still hurting.”
”…”
”Serves you right.”
After a moment of silence, Helian Rong replied while gritting his teeth.
He hated the person in front of him so much that he wanted to swallow her up. He wanted to save her from saying such infuriating words again, but his hand stopped on the spot honestly and he slowed down to rub the bruised part of her body. After a while, he reached out his hand and pulled her into his embrace, ”Can't you be a little more obedient?”
If you say that I'm not a good person and you don't want to follow me, I'll take it. I'm afraid that if you suffer any grievances, you would still be able to get yourself a new house, but you said that you're used to living in the Drunk Dream Pavilion and aren't willing to move to another place. Although I'm angry at you, in the end, I'll let you have it your way …
”It's not like I forced you to do these things,” Liu Yin disapproved, and unconsciously raised his head to look at the half-darkened face, and quickly changed his words. In any case, there is only one person in this world who can make you angry. ”
As she said this, her face even had a hint of pride in it.
Everyone thought that Helian Rong was a gentle and elegant young master, even the woman whom he officially married thought that way. However, in reality, only Liu Yin knew what kind of beast's heart this man was hiding under the skin of a human.
He held absolute possessiveness towards his things, and was like a lion trapped in a circle, not allowing anyone to occupy even the slightest bit of his land. Thus, when he faced Liu Yin, he was always easily angered, revealing his sharp claws and bloodthirsty sharp teeth, exposing his true nature of wanting to swallow a person into his stomach. However, he was always easily comforted by her words.
He wished that she could stay in his territory and draw the land, but this woman was always restless as she probed the edge of his bottom line, waiting for him to stand up and then reach out to touch her.
It was a pacification. It was a perfunctory response.
”Good girl, look at me. Although I am very far from you, I will never leave you.”
No one knew who he was tormenting.
