Chapter 504: Does It Hurt?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Xuanyin froze on the spot, drifting into her memories.
That day, Lu Jinwen given Lin Xuanji one tight slap across the face that left her reeling.
The crisp sound of his slap resounded in the entire villa, frightening everyone. It was the first time ever in many years that Lu Jinwen had ever gotten that angry.
He was the young master of the Lu family and had the blood of those in the upper class flowing in him. The men of the Lu family never had the habit of hitting women and it was even more so in his case.
He was especially privileged and being innately heartless, he never stayed faithful to women. No woman dared to get close to him, with the exception being Lin Xuanji and Lin Xuanyin. He needn’t even lift a finger when he wanted to deal with anyone.
Lin Xuanji’s dagger had stabbed deep inside his chest and the blood spattered out, staining his white shirt in no time. Lin Xuanyin screamed, she rushed forward, wanting to check on his wound but he flung her away instead.
She landed on the carpeted ground pathetically as she looked at him, stupefied by his actions. “Jinwen…”
Lu Jinwen gave her a cold-eyed stare while towering over her with his magnificent stance. Those bloodshot eyes seemed to taunt her. It was sinister-like and totally eerie.
She could feel a terrifying hopelessness overwhelm her, she could sense it. This man was going to kill her.
She had messed with Lin Xuanji’s baby and he had the intent to kill her.
Lu Jinwen retracted his gaze, walking away and arriving beside Lin Xuanji. Squatting down, he held up her face as he questioned her, “Did it hurt? Tell me right now, where did you get that dagger from? Do you still dare to hold onto something so dangerous and wave it around so casually, hm?”
Lin Xuanji’s palm-sized face was squeezed tightly by him and it contorted because of the huge amount of force he had exerted.
At that moment, Lin Xuanji saw him as a devil that was sent from the underworld to push people into the depths of hell.
Lin Xuanji’s pupils contracted while looking at him. Her love, agony, struggles and hatred had all dissipated, she could only feel fear. She shook her head endlessly, “I won’t dare to… I really won’t dare to…”
She claimed that she wouldn’t dare to do it again.
Lu Jinwen suddenly pulled Lin Xuanji into his arms and hugged her tightly, wanting her to fuse into his blood and bones. He wanted to become one with her. He planted a kiss on her satiny hair before kissing the area she was slapped on all over. “Does it hurt? Did I really slap you that hard? You must be obedient and be good in the future. I won’t hit you if you behave well…”
Lin Xuanji was hugged by him like a ragged doll, she didn’t have a mind of her own anymore. Her beautiful pupils had lost all focus and she only repeated, “I won’t dare to… I really won’t dare to…”
“Be good, Baby.” Lu Jinwen furrowed his brows, his blood had also stained her hospital gown and he murmured in her ears, “Baby, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have hit you. Why don’t you hit me back now?”
He held her dainty hand with his large palm and slapped himself with it.
At that moment, he appeared to be possessed.
Lin Xuanji’s vision turned blank and she fainted.
It was only after that, Lin Xuanyin was told by the doctor that Lin Xuanji had gone crazy after regaining consciousness. Lin Xuanji had become a crazed woman.
After that, Lu Jinwen didn’t appear before her for two whole years. He had totally disappeared before everyone’s eyes and stopped working. He spent all his time with Lin Xuanji in the seaview bungalow in Dandelion and helped Lin Xuanji with her recuperation.
Rumor had it that he had done everything personally, from bathing her, to cooking all her meals for her, even telling her fairytale to coax her to sleep. He even allowed her to straddle his back while he crawled around on all fours.
There was even once, he was fuming with rage after she fell down the stairs. He flogged a butler to death and even fired all the servants at once.
When she was sick and not feeling well, he wouldn’t even take a step out of her bedroom. He would look after her without eating, drinking or sleeping. When she was well, only then would he be fine. If she wasn’t feeling well, he would be too worried and not be fine at all.
There was finally once, Lin Xuanyin finally couldn’t hold it in and secretly visited the seaview bungalow.
Lu Jinwen and Lin Xuanji were in the bedroom that day and she stood outside, peeping into their room. Lu Jinwen had worn wine-red silky pajamas and slumped against the bed frame. He was looking through some documents and he was angered that day. Based on what she had heard from the servants, Lin Xuanji had secretly thrown away half a bowl of rice into the bin and was caught red-handed by him.
Lin Xuanji climbed up the bed, moving closer in front of him while coaxing him with a lollipop.
He wasn’t bothered.
And so, Lin Xuanji had unbuttoned her pajamas and hugged his neck, kissing him intimately.
No one knew what had happened between them over the past two whole years. But the crazy Lin Xuanji had learned how to placate Lu Jinwen whenever he was angry.
Lu Jinwen quickly put his documents away, holding on to the back of her head while biting her lips. He muttered, “Lin Xuanji, you’re taking advantage of me, knowing that I can’t resist your ways, right?”
Lin Xuanji whimpered because of the pain on her lips, and she pushed him away.
The corner of his lips twisted up into a smirk as he pressed her head down onto his pants…
Lin Xuanyin was heartbroken after witnessing that scene. She had figured everything out, this seaview bungalow was a place for him to hide the woman he doted on the most. He had lost his mind over Lin Xuanji.
But things didn’t last for long, something happened after the two year mark. That one incident ruined Lin Xuanji forever.
Lin Xuanyin quickly got a grip over herself, smirking while still teary-eyed. Though she led an unhappy life, she was glad to know that Lin Xuanji wasn’t any better. Or rather, Lin Xuanji’s life was even more tragic than hers.
Rumors were flying around, the Lin family’s daughters were all ethereal beauties but they seemed to be cursed. They would never end up with the ones they truly loved and it was impossible for them to lead a blissful life.
At night.
Tang Mo’er stood along the streets, trying to hail a cab but it was a futile attempt. The cabs were all on hire and after a few minutes, she still wasn’t able to hail one down.
It was so cold.
The night breeze was blowing ferociously and it made Tang Mo’er shudder. She blamed herself for her foolishness. How could she have forgotten to wear a coat over her gown?
It was so cold, winter was probably approaching soon.
Tang Mo’er hugged herself with her slender arms, protecting herself from the cold breeze.
She spotted a beam of white light shining onto her from the headlights of a vehicle. Tang Mo’er lifted her eyes. It was a Rolls-Royce Phantom approaching her.
Gu Mohan?
She could see Gu Mohan sitting on the driver’s seat, a luxurious watch adorned his wrist and he held the steering wheel firmly. Jun Xiyan was seated on the passenger’s seat and his black blazer was still draped over her shoulders.
Gu Mohan was taking Jun Xiyan home.
Tang Mo’er stood on the spot while looking at the Rolls-Royce Phantom approach her, before… speeding pass her.
The Rolls-Royce Phantom had sped away.
Gu Mohan didn’t even bother to look at her.
