box anyway. He followed her closely behind.In the kitchen, she cooked while he helped out, washing vegetables and doing chores like that. After Shi Yu, who had come over for a meal, left, Rong Ling t...Chapter Name: 121

Hearing this, she raised her head. Her eyes were red like a rabbit's, with a touch of fear as she looked at him.

He was angry, he walked a few steps, went to turn on the water tap, pulled her over and asked in a sarcastic tone: "Do you still need me to help you wash!"

She shook her head, but then suddenly flung her arms open, hugging him tightly, burying her face in his chest and sobbing softly, "I'm sorry!"

He sighed helplessly, being drenched by the shower. His resolute face slowly became dotted with water drops, as if tinged with tears.

"What I want is not your apology!" he said in a low voice, his heart heavy with pain.

But she didn't understand, she was too young and lacked the confidence.

He pulled her closer, cupped her chin in his hand, and fixed her with a cold, hard stare that wouldn't let her escape. His eyes were locked on hers, the ones glistening with tears.

"You listen up!" he said, clenching his jaw and bowing his head heavily. He bit her lip harshly, drawing blood with a single bite. She endured it, not uttering a sound, her black eyes wide open as she passively watched him.

"This time, it's the last time. Lin Meng, my patience has its limits! Next time if you run away without a word again, I'll break your legs!"

As he spoke, he squeezed her chin tightly, and even though it hurt her, she didn't loosen her grip.

Looking into her terrified eyes, he continued his cold cruelty. "Did you hear me If you dare to run, I'll really break your legs. Then, you better pray that I don't find you. Otherwise, if I find you, I'll break your legs and lock you up for life, so you can never get out again."

Her lips trembled, and her long, narrow eyes widened in surprise.

But he felt it wasn't enough, stared at him with cold eyes, his icy gaze fixed on her, and commanded in a harsh voice. "Repeat what I just said!"

Her lips trembled again.

He exerted more force, and she felt her jaw about to shatter, tears welling up in her eyes. But he remained utterly ruthless; even seeing them, his heart did not soften one bit.

"Say!"

"I…" She didn't know how to repeat it, only softly pleading. "I… I can't remember…"

He gritted his teeth, wishing he could give that little woman a good beating! No one had ever made him feel this way before! Yet, he didn't want to let her go either.

"I'm telling you again!" he conceded almost reluctantly. "If I catch you running off silently one more time, I swear I'll break your legs and lock you up for life. Do you understand now!"

She nodded.

He shouted, "Then repeat it!"

“If you…”

"No, put that into 'me', replace yourself!" he growled.

She licked her lips, blinked back tears of grievance, and whispered, “I... If I dared to run silently again and was found by you, then… I would be… have my legs broken, and then… locked up for life!”

He narrowed his eyes, slightly satisfied. He then released her chin and rubbed her skull harshly. "Remember this, engrave it in your mind, don't forget it!"

She reached out and touched her aching jaw, letting out a soft "oh." She spoke in a tiny voice, lowering her eyes and behaving demurely, like a dutiful daughter-in-law.

"Wash up quickly!"

She hummed in response, staring at him with her eyes open.

He began to take off his clothes, oblivious. She widened her eyes and took a step back.

He glared at her. "We've showered together before, just take off your clothes!"

She hesitated, her small hand clutching the hem of her sleeve, but she couldn't summon the courage to pull it up and take off her clothes. When she felt another icy stare from Rong Ling, her nose turned red, and she spoke in a choked voice, "I'm afraid..."

Rong Ling raised her eyebrows with a forceful scowl. She wasn't angry lightly. With a few swift motions, she took off her short sleeves. She trembled slightly, covering her chest with her hands, looking wary. He reached out and pinched her cheek, growling in a harsh voice; "I told you you were stupid, but you don't believe me! You think too little when you should be thinking, and you think too much when you shouldn't. After what just happened, could I possibly have eaten you I flew all the way from France, sweating profusely under this heat, wouldn't you at least let me take a shower We also have to go to the police station soon, where would we find the time to waste like that!"

Her face flushed red, and she lowered her head at his words. Then, softly, she apologized to him and began to shyly take off her shorts.

He had already lathered himself up. Seeing her naked, he pulled her over and rubbed body wash all over her. Soon, white foam covered her as well. This high-quality body wash wasn't irritating and even had antibacterial properties, so he wasn't worried about applying it to every scar on her body. He rubbed meticulously, taking this opportunity to carefully examine her. The scratches were mainly concentrated on her sides and back, while her chest had very few. It seemed she had been bound with her hands and dragged across the concrete floor.

The area around her groin was also very clean, showing no signs of being touched. At that moment, he was certain she hadn't been taken advantage of by the two men. Even though he heard her crying and saying she wasn't clean, he was instinctively shaken and his heart surged with a thousand waves, but he quickly calmed down. Because he knew she was crying because she had been touched by someone else, it bothered her psychologically. Now that he confirmed this, he felt even more at ease. However, her lower legs were rather pitiful to look at. The obvious marks of being bound with a belt, if seen at the police station, would definitely be noticeable.

I just told Miaoqing to buy some clothes, but I forgot to tell her to get long sleeves and pants. Looks like I'll have to ask her to make another trip when she gets back.

Wasn't that scary!

She was taken aback for a moment, then softly hummed in response.

After he'd lathered up her legs with foam, he stood back up, reached out, and messed her hair roughly, rubbing the big clumps of foam into it. He growled, "This is your punishment for running away. Even God can't stand to see you do this, so he's punishing you. So next time, don't even think about running away from me like a fool!"

She hummed again, exceedingly well-behaved. In fact, there was both sourness and sweetness in her heart, but the sweetness overwhelmed all the sourness.

She thought about what would happen if she ran away. The worst outcome was that he'd catch her and punish her. He might beat her, yell at her, or ignore her. He might even do something else to make her life miserable. But when he actually caught her, the most severe punishment he gave her was a verbal warning not to run away again.

She suddenly felt very guilty and ashamed, unable to face him!

This man is always like this, when he should be harsher with her, he never is. He leaves her in limbo every time. Besides guilt, there's only guilt.

"Rong Ling, I'm sorry!"

She lowered her head, choked up, moved by this man! She knew the nature of his business trip this time. He had told her about it before, that trip abroad because she had a concussion and couldn't go. There was something very important he had to handle personally. He also said he would definitely have to go to France again next time. Although he didn't say anything when he left this time, the fact that he was gone for a whole week made her guess it was because of the last thing. He went and came back in just three days, deducting the flight time, it was only two days, and he hurried back. Could this business have been messed up by her again! And France wasn't close, the flight back would take about ten hours! He rushed back, must have suffered a lot!

As soon as she thought of this, her heart ached. She hadn't intended to cause him any trouble, but it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, she would still bring him problems.

He paused his actions of washing her hair upon hearing the apology. But he didn't say anything, only keeping his eyes downcast and silently messing with her scalp.

She sniffed, stretched out her smooth arm, and lightly embraced his waist, which was lean and free of any excess flesh. In a low voice, she murmured, "I won't leave again next time, really. I'll listen to you this time. I was wrong this time. I'm sorry!"

Even if he scolded her, looked down on her, ignored her... she wouldn't leave, unless—he didn't want her anymore!

He smirked slightly, thinking her remorse came a little late! But the icy small hand resting on his waist had a mischievous air about it. She was bare-bodied and already incredibly alluring, and with her hand placed there... he couldn't help but imagine things heating up between them. If she wasn't careful, he might just lose control and devour her whole.

"Hmph, wipe yourself!" He tossed her a towel, letting her catch it with her hand. It was something for her little hands to do. She let out an "oh" and obediently rubbed herself down with the foam. As for her head, she left that completely up to the man.

She fussed with herself intermittently, her demeanor suggesting she wasn't in high spirits.

Rong Ling was shrewd, and she must have had lingering shadows from those past events in her heart. After squinting her eyes, she whispered, "Those things, don't think about them anymore, just consider it as being bitten by a dog."

For the first time ever, he comforted the woman!

But she still couldn't let it go, listening to his words, without a sound.

He frowned and had to take on the role of a temporary therapist. "Foreign women in bikinis playing on the beach, you must have seen that!"

She was taken aback, she had seen it before, but didn't quite understand!

They were wearing just two pieces of cloth that barely covered anything, yet they could laugh and joke with men, even play games of chance with them. This isn't really a big deal, it's just physical contact. As long as nothing happens, it's not a major issue. Didn't our ancestors socialize without even wearing pants, completely naked

Lin Meng was stunned again, she looked up and stared at him blankly. Her dark eyes were filled with water, looking at him with innocence and confusion!

For a moment, I was at a loss for words. To say he didn't care would be a lie. There isn't any real man who wouldn't mind his woman being looked at and touched by someone else. But the deed is done, and as a responsible man, he couldn't hold onto this and make things difficult for her. Moreover, she was in a situation where she was forced and unable to resist.

But he, this man, is cold-hearted. He has always been in a high position and what he's used to doing is giving orders. Even when comforting his closest brother, he only says a few words and then keeps him company as they drink until dawn. To ask him to come up with a bunch of words to comfort a woman, that would be quite difficult for him.

He frowned, looking at her with slightly furrowed brows, seeming still troubled. He thought to himself that he should find her a therapist. He really wasn't good at this kind of comforting work.

It's not his style!

She suddenly let out a peal of laughter, her eyes crinkling at the corners. Her smile was like that of a flower just beginning to bloom. She reached out with her slender white hand to cover her mouth, giggling softly. The look in her eyes, trying to hide but unable to contain it, was both innocent and alluring, subtly fanning the flames of desire in the man's heart.

He reached out and pressed down hard on her head, trying to maintain his cold tone as he ordered in a low voice, "Bow your head!"

He ran his hands through her hair, which was full of bubbles.

She obediently lowered her head, slowly stopping her smile, putting down her small hand, and then, with a lingering smile, softly said: "I didn't expect you to say that!"

Heh heh, saying that our ancestors socialize in the nude!

Heh heh, to think such words would come from Rong Ling's mouth is simply unbelievable! They are crude yet somehow elegant, a bizarre mix, but when she heard them, her heart felt warm. She also realized that maybe it wasn't so bad after all!

Rong Ling reacted, and a rare awkwardness appeared on his face. He said he couldn't play the role of comforting a woman! Looking at this little woman, her delicate shoulders rising and falling with joy, he felt a little embarrassed. He just said that after spending too much time with her, he had become a bit unlike himself.

So, I quickly found another topic to distract her.

"Do you know why I didn't just take you straight to the police station and have Wu Yong punished"

She shook her head, and... she felt a little strange too! Of course, she didn't want others to know about her business, but being bullied for no reason and letting the bad guys get away with it made her feel suffocated.

He started to explain.

"Such things, throughout history, public opinion in society, whether positive or negative, ultimately hurts women the most. So I don't want this to spread and hurt you. Just pretend this never happened. No matter what others ask, just say it didn't happen."

She hummed in response, understanding roughly what Rong Ling meant, but her heart still ached with a strange discomfort.

Rong Ling patted her soft back, soothingly comforting. "Don't worry, those who hurt you, I won't let any of them go unpunished. I will find other ways to make them atone!"

She thought for a moment, then said sullenly: “I don’t want others to know either. I hate it. Just thinking about it makes me feel all wrong. But what about those people Will...will there be other ways to punish them”

He suddenly pinched her firm, raised buttocks and scolded in a feigning displeasure: "You dare to doubt what I say!"

She gasped, hastily dodging out of the way, her ears subtly flushing pink as she vigorously shook her head, sending a spray of foam everywhere.

"Leave this to me!"

Saying that, he took his hands away and patted her smooth little butt, pushing her under the shower.

"Go for it!"

Then he began to take care of himself.

After she finished showering, she blinked at him with eyes that were sore from crying earlier. She felt like she couldn't just accept his kindness all the time, so she softly said, "Let me rub your back!"

The foam washed away, leaving her completely naked. Her smooth, white skin, warmed by the hot water, had a rosy glow. Standing there, though her body bore some messy wounds, she was still pure and captivating.

Rong Ling only glanced at him, then quickly turned her head away and mumbled a refusal. "No need, please go out first!"

This little woman, really thinks his senses died! Really thinks that since he said he wouldn't touch her, he won't touch her! So innocently standing there naked, saying she wants to rub his back, how could she not think of him! He has a fire burning in his heart right now, and she dares to tempt him!

A surge of anger welled up inside him, constricting his chest. Seeing her nonchalantly searching for a towel to wrap herself in after he spoke, he couldn't contain himself. He reached out and forcefully pinched her tender, plump buttocks.

She's really a hopeless woman!

She gasped, turning around to look at him with wide, confused and slightly fearful eyes.

His breath was just hanging there, awkwardly stuck in the air.

“Forget it, you better get out of here!” He waved his hand, shooing her away like a little dog.

She tilted her head in confusion, but obediently went out.

He suddenly felt that he was making trouble for himself!

As soon as she left, he rushed to get some foamy star powder and followed right behind her. He found the medicine box and applied medicine to her wounds. In just a few moments, he undressed her and applied more medicine. At this point, she finally understood what was going on and started to feel embarrassed. She lowered her eyes, staring at her nose, silent as a mouse, her face flushed red.

When Miao Qing returned, he also finished his work. Miao Qing was considerate and bought Lin Meng long sleeves, long pants, and even undergarments. She had been completely seen through by Rong Ling, but this time she didn't ask him to leave. In front of him, she shyly and awkwardly put on her clothes.

Over there, Rong Ling also changed her clothes!

After that, the three of them sat down to eat. It was almost 7 o'clock by then, and their stomachs were definitely growling. Lin Meng had been hungry all day; she hadn't even eaten breakfast. As soon as she got off the train, those two policemen caught her. The moment she smelled the aroma of food, her stomach started rumbling like a drum, gurgling incessantly. Rong Ling and Miao Qing didn't say much or show any particular expression, but Lin Meng herself felt a bit embarrassed. She clenched her cheeks that were flushed red and sat down on the chair.

When she was eating the rice delivered by the hotel, she still maintained her composure, enduring her hungry, twitching stomach and taking small bites. Rong Ling's chopsticks swept across, and he suddenly shoved a large chicken leg into her bowl, saying, "We're not strangers, just eat it quickly. Eat however you want!"

Lin Meng raised her eyes to look at Rong Ling. Her tender lips curved into a beautiful crescent moon, and she lowered her head to eat, not bothering with any etiquette. In one hand, she held a large drumstick, in the other she picked up small oil vegetables, occasionally poking at the rice. She ate like a mischievous cat. If this were someone else, Rong Ling and Miao Qing, who were used to the elegance of upper-class society women, would certainly frown. But when it happened to Lin Meng, the two just smiled, and from time to time they would look at something delicious and put it in her bowl. They were also worried that she was eating too fast, so they had to watch carefully, lest she swallow it!

After finishing the meal, Rong Ling was in no hurry to go to the police station. Whether he waited half an hour or an hour, since the police station had agreed to wait, he could naturally proceed at his own pace. The most urgent task was to find out about Su Xue!fe also taking its final steps.For three years, over a thousand days and nights, her love for him never stopped, it only grew deeper.However, upon their second meeting, she no longer existed in his me...
