"I'm sorry, but we only listen to young master Shi Jue! He is the only one who can command us," the man dressed in black seriously said. "Miss Xia Weiyang, you're pregnant. Being angry is not good for your pregnancy."
Hearing what the man said made Xia Weiyang angrier. She pointed at him and said, "If you let me out, I won't be angry anymore."
"I'm sorry, miss Xia Weiyang. Please understand and forgive me. If young master Shi Jue finds out that I allowed you to leave, he will make my life very miserable. Since you're a kind woman, I'm sure you don't want that to happen to me," the man begged.
With a serious expression, Xia Weiyang stared at the man pleading in front of her.
She wanted to tell him that she wasn't a kind woman.
Eventually, Xia Weiyang turned around and went back to the house. However, before she walked away, she gave the man a fierce glare.
Immediately after Xia Weiyang disappeared from his sight, the man took out his phone and made a call.
"Young master Shi Jue, miss Xia Weiyang wanted to go out for the seventh time, but I stopped her."
"Well done," Shi Jue said over the phone as he sat in his office.
"However, miss Xia Weiyang was very angry," the man replied.
Hearing this made Shi Jue pause for a second. "That's fine. It doesn't matter." After he finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone.
After putting his phone down, Shi Jue straightened his body and raised his head to stretch his sore neck. He then placed the entire weight of his body on the back of the chair. He closed his eyes to reflect.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Shi Jue opened his eyes and looked at his phone's bright screen. After seeing the name "Xia Weiyang" on it, he raised his eyebrows and pressed the answer button.
"Shi Jue, what do you want from me? You let me stay in your house, but you took away my freedom! I'm a person, not your pet! And I am definitely not your surrogate!" Xia Weiyang yelled.
As soon as the call connected, Shi Jue heard Xia Weiyang's angry voice.
He kept the phone away from his ear and waited for Xia Weiyang to calm down. After Xia Weiyang lowered her voice, Shi Jue placed his phone back on his ear.
"I'm Shi Jue. I can do what I want." Shi Jue's tone was indifferent, but his words were cold and ruthless.
"You're going too far!" Xia Weiyang responded.
"Yes, I am." Shi Jue felt a bit proud as he admitted what he was doing.
Xia Weiyang punched the pillow on her bed out of frustration and anger.
She felt really helpless in her situation.
It made her realize what money, power, and status can do to one's life.
If she could negotiate with Shi Jue, she would feel so much better.
Hearing Xia Weiyang's frustrated grunts made Shi Jue frown. "Xia Weiyang, you're angry. I'll give you three seconds to calm down, or else..."
"I'm angry because you're treating me like a prisoner. I can't stay inside your house all the time. I have other things to do. Don't tell me that you're only doing this for my own good. I'm human. I need my personal space. I have a social life. I don't want to be isolated from society. You can't treat me like this!" Xia Weiyang's tone was full of determination.
She knew she had to fight for her freedom.
Having freedom meant she could escape.
More importantly, she wanted to escape because of the child in her body. As a mother, she had to protect her child at all costs.
If anyone wanted to take her child away from her, she would fiercely fight back.
She no longer cared about her love life.
All she cared about was the safety and welfare of her child.
"I'll get someone to accompany you tomorrow when you got out." Shi Jue rubbed the space between his brows out of frustration. Although he did not want to compromise, he knew he had to do it.
"I'll go this afternoon!" Xia Weiyang defiantly replied.
"Don't push your luck, Xia Weiyang!" Shi Jue snapped. His voice was filled with rage.
"I will go out. I don't care what you do," Xia Weiyang said before she ended the call.
Pack!
The ashtray that was on Shi Jue's table flew across the room and shattered on a wall. The young master threw it out of anger.
His handsome face reddened as he stared at his phone.
No one had ever dared to make him angry!
"You have a lot of guts, Xia Weiyang," Shi Jue whispered.
