"Run away?" Wei Anning raised an eyebrow and slowly walked up to him. She leaned forward, placing her hands on the armrests of his wheelchair, and looked at him with a challenging face.
"Why should I run away? I've thought it over, there's good food and drink here, and I have a string of servants following me. Plus, I can sunbathe on the beach when I'm bored, so I've decided to stay."
Leng Youchen narrowed his eyes, his phoenix-like eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking, "Really not running away?"
"Not running away!" Wei Anning declared emphatically. She leaned close to his ear, her breath as sweet as orchids, "I suddenly discovered something interesting. I can't bear to leave before uncovering the mystery."
This little seductress!
Leng Youchen felt a tingling in his ear, his blood rushing from his forehead downwards. His hand moved subtly to block her, his eyes revealing a tumultuous storm. He should have not let her go just now.
"Oh, your ear is red."
The woman's exaggerated voice, as if she had discovered a new continent, came from beside his ear, making him wish he could strangle her. At the age of 19, he watched helplessly as the wardrobe came crashing down, breaking his legs. From that moment, he became convinced that women were the most venomous creatures in the world.
For six years, he hadn't laid a finger on a woman. In his eyes, women were evil, cunning, and filthy.
But she made him addicted, wishing he could indulge in her for a lifetime.
He lifted his hand to push away her head, his voice especially low and hoarse, "Since you've thought it through, I will also let bygones be bygones. But, Anjing, if you run away again, I won't easily forgive you."
Wei Anning stood upright, not wanting to argue with him. She wasn't Wei Anjing. Anyway, what she now wanted to do was wait for the moment when he showed his true colors.
"Don't worry, I have more important things to do now. Even if you asked me to leave, I couldn't bear to go," Wei Anning said cheerfully, her face showing none of the anxiety and confusion of being confined for a day and a night.
Leng Youchen looked up.
The rising sun shone on her, casting light on her fair face, with a well-defined nose bridge and eyelids that curved up slightly, making her black grape-like eyes sparkle. Her lips were pink and slightly parted, as if silently inviting him to kiss her. Her makeup-free face was as exquisite as a porcelain doll.
This was the first time he had seriously looked at her, and he realized that she was very beautiful. Not with the dignified elegance of a lady from a reputable family, but with eyes that slightly slanted upwards, showing a hint of defiance and wildness that made his blood boil.
He wanted to conquer her, body and soul, and make her bloom willingly beneath him.
Wei Anning hadn't realized that she had become Leng Youchen's prey. But it didn't matter; Leng Youchen had already become her prey. Thinking of how she would strip off his mask and smash it on his face, leaving him dumbfounded, made her want to laugh out loud with delight at how satisfyingly sour the taste would be.
Leng Youchen, wait for my counterattack!
Both harboring their own schemes, they returned to the castle. Wei Anning went to her room to take a bath and change clothes.
In the bathtub, she looked down at the marks all over her body, her cheeks flushed red. She quickly scooped up a handful of hot water and splashed it on her face.
Wei Anning, don't let your thoughts wander anymore. He's your class enemy; he's deceived you, insulted you, forced you. You must overthrow him!
