Chapter 5: Do You Like Anyone

Her hair was slightly wet after showering. Women usually look very different with and without makeup, but she looked pretty much the same.

 Her plain face was fair and flawless, and extremely delicate. The clean and fresh bedroom also seemed to be filled with the scent of her body after showering.

 His gaze made Tang Xin feel cold all over, like she was a little snake being targeted by an eagle.

 “Do you like anyone?” he asked suddenly.

 She stood at the end of the bed, shaking her head uneasily, “No.”

 “That means you haven’t tasted a man?”

 1His words were too insulting, she flushed with embarrassment and bit her lip.

 Then, the room fell into silence…

 He was still staring at her with cold eyes, as if thinking about how to deal with the prey in his clutches.

 After a long time, Li Yunshen turned to the photo frame beside him and said, “Put her up.”

 Tang Xin went forward to take the photo frame. She went pale the moment she saw it, and she started shaking all over.

 The girl in the photo was exactly the same as the photo he had brought to the wedding, except that the photo had color and made the girl’s smile look more innocent.

 2Who was this girl? Why did she need to be placed in their room?

 And on the bedside table on her side?

 In the end, he laid down and fell asleep without touching her. She laid on his side facing the photo, and felt so scared that she couldn’t sleep. Curled up and occupying less than one-third of the bed, she stayed awake until dawn.

 The man got up at seven, went downstairs at ten past seven, and went out at seventy forty after having breakfast. It seemed as though these steps were already a regular pattern.

 When there was no more movement of him downstairs, Tang Xin, who was pretending to be asleep, immediately opened her eyes but dared not look at the photo at the bedside table again. She found the clothes she wanted to wear in the suitcase and ran into the bathroom.

 She went downstairs only after covering the dark circles under her eyes with powder. When Sister Liu asked her what she wanted to have for breakfast, she felt overwhelmed, even though she knew she had only been asked out of duty. Therefore, she asked for a Chinese breakfast, and the hot nutritional porridge with unique pickled side dishes warmed her heart.

 Sister Liu, the housekeeper of the manor, was as expressionless and stern as the owner of the manor. Everyone here called her “Miss Tang”, because the owner of the manor did not announce her identity to them.

 3She seemed to have no foothold right from the moment she stepped in.

 After breakfast, Tang Xin went upstairs to sort out the personal items she had brought with her. However, it wasn’t long before Sister Liu came to the room with a foreigner.

 “Miss Tang, this is Mr. Smith, a well-known psychiatrist. Sir has asked him over to treat you.”

 1Tang Xin’s heart felt cold all at once, her face turned pale, and her emotions were out of control.

 “I’m not sick! Ask him to leave! Ask him to leave now!”

 “The patient usually says that they are not sick, but her situation is quite bad now.”

 Dr. Smith said with regret before asking the two assistants behind him to come up and hold her down. Although he spoke English, she understood what he had said.

 She was too weak to struggle free.

 The medicament was injected into the syringe and flowed out of the sharp needle… she was no stranger to these images — it was a sedative.

 2There was fear and helplessness.

 It turned out that she would never wake up from her nightmare! Never…

 Before passing out, she saw a figure standing at the door, looking coldly at her struggling, watching her fall into despair, and then…

 1She saw him smile. Although it was just a cold smirk, he had indeed smiled, a very cruel smile…
