ut the past, as if silently pouring out his heart. "Later, for some reasons, I couldn't go see you. But I always asked friends to keep an eye on you. I know you were in the intensive care unit and doi...He strode closer, his tall figure looming like a mountain, weighing heavily on her heart. ( ..tw no pop-up ads) Even the slant of his shadow cast over her made her feel a tightness in her chest.

He looked very intimidating.

To think that he would use such force on his own son, she thought about herself and her own bottom instantly tightened.

"I left you a message!"

She licked her lips, composing herself before speaking.

He approached, his face devoid of any smile, appearing extremely cold. The overwhelming sense of pressure made her instinctively shrink back.

He got onto the bed, one leg kneeling on it and the other standing outside. He leaned down, his broad chest pressing down on her, making her feel even more suffocated, as if she would be crushed by him.

"You—" She wanted to say something.

His big hand, however, suddenly reached for her smooth, slender calf.

That palm, slightly cold.

She shivered.

Then, that palm suddenly became forceful and clamped down on her calf.

Her heart, timidly, began to beat rapidly. The words she least wanted to recall, once again floated through her mind.

"If you dare to run away again, I'll break your leg..."

The man spoke. The chilling tone, how familiar it was, almost merging with the words in her mind!

Yes, but this tone is colder and more frightening than it was years ago.

Didn't I already say this

He narrowed his eyes, his whole body cold as a sword, seeming able to chop off her leg at any moment. And his hand, it was still tightening its grip, increasing the pressure little by little.

She felt the pain!

"Didn't you make this same vow before"

His tone was already quite dangerous. The force of his grip was heavy, making her small face wrinkle slightly.

It hurts too much!

He seemed to really want to break her legs!

Well, that's just—it seems like!

If he really wanted to, he wouldn't waste so many words and would just do it. Besides, she knew he wouldn't. Just look at how he treats his son, it's obvious!

"How do you want to do this" she feigned weakness, appearing frightened.

In fact, considering her current strength compared to Rong Ling's, she performed very easily like this.

Rong Ling said nothing. He reached out with his other hand and grabbed her little foot. It looked like he was really going to use both hands to break her leg.

She immediately shed a few tears and cried out.

“You’re really something, you know. I didn’t run away; I left you a note! Besides, what’s it to me I did all this for you. I gave you space, let him show off his skills, do whatever he wants. Isn't that great! Now no one will bother you anymore. You can do whatever you want with Li Lanqiu, isn't that good I'm gone! Shouldn’t you be happy!”

"Delighted!" He abruptly raised an eyebrow, a sneer twisting his lips. "Do you think I'd be delighted!"

That look in his eyes, the deepening gloom, that predatory gaze. Lin Meng was mad to even consider this request. If she agreed, she'd be a dead woman!

“Then what do you want me to do” she huffed, her nose wrinkled in annoyance. “You don’t say anything! You promised you’d tell me a few days ago, but you never did. I find this really pointless, don’t you understand It feels like I’m forcing you, but every time I ask you, I’m just being honest! I feel uncomfortable, my heart is pounding, and you won’t even let me go for a walk!”

"You can relax, you and I will have a good talk. But what does that note mean! What's with the divorce agreement You say 'I too' Are you pulling my leg with all this flowery language Have you gotten bold"

"What else can I do! You're so protective of Li Lanqiu, I already walked away without crying or making a fuss, isn't that enough What else do you want from me!"

"You have to stay by my side, and you're not allowed to go anywhere else!"

"As he spoke, he tightened his grip and threatened again."

She winced in pain and threw herself out all of a sudden.

"Well then, break me. Break me until I'm nothing, until I'm a useless wreck. That's what you want, isn't it Just go ahead and break me. Break me!"

She defiantly lifted her chin, infuriating him!

He gritted his teeth angrily. "Don't think I won't!"

She pouted her lips, her eyes reddened, and a few more tears rolled down. She choked back a sob, turned her head away, and collapsed onto the bed. With difficulty, she covered her face with her hand, mumbling softly.

Suit yourself!

He suddenly turned red with anger.

So she's just acting so arrogantly, is she!

A powerful urge to destroy suddenly surged within him. He gripped her foot tightly and twisted it with all his might!

"Ah—"

She screamed in pain, instantly pulling her hand away and shrinking back. The leg he had been holding onto hurt even more now.

She pushed herself back up to her feet, her eyes blazing with fury as she stared at him.

"Are you really going to do this!"

She tugged hard on the damn handcuffs chaining her hands. If it weren't for these, she'd have lunged and bitten him.

“Fine, break it then!” She turned cold. “After you’ve broken it, please leave and don’t come back.”

This statement is like a lit fuse, it could easily set him off!

"Never in this life!" he hissed, finally releasing her calf, but then climbed onto the bed and grabbed her, flipping her over so she lay on her back with her buttocks facing up. He reached out again and pulled down her shorts.

He was so angry, but there was nothing he could really do to her. The only thing he could hit was her plump buttocks. It was a place where even if he used force, it wouldn't cause serious harm.

"

Slap—

"

A deafening slap echoed through the air, announcing his fury and anger.

"This slap, for you to run away without saying a word!"

She blushed, gritting her teeth and bearing it. Her stubborn look was somewhat similar to the little rascal from just now.

He slapped again, snarling with hatred.

"This slap is for you when you quietly kidnapped your son!"

Then, there was another slap.

"

This slap is for you running off to hang out with Xiao Yi!"

"

One more slap.

"This slap is to teach you a lesson!"

“I'm not wrong!” she retorted stubbornly.

He, however, slapped another big one across her face and then snorted coldly.

"If you know your mistake but refuse to correct it, a second slap!"

"I'm not wrong!" she pounded him hard.

He didn't hesitate and slapped him again.

"If you refuse to admit it, you deserve to be beaten!"

"I am right!"

"

Don't compare yourself to Youyou. He's not wrong, you are!

"

"Bang!"

He slapped him again!

If you don't admit your mistake today, I'll keep hitting you like this!

He was really hitting hard, "pa pa pa" like that, striking so many times in a row. Lin Meng was in pain and couldn't help but tears welled up.

"Aren't you wrong at all You just kept hitting me, boo hoo..."

She burst into tears. "I just came out for some fresh air, is that wrong Rong Ling, I'm a free person, not your possession. I can go wherever I want, you can't control me. You're such a self-righteous jerk! You allow yourself to do whatever you want but forbid others from doing the same. You're selfish and always demand this and that from me. I'm not your slave, sniffle..."

She burst into tears!

Even like this, he remained composed and slapped him again!

She was suddenly excited, using her hands and feet to try to get up.

Why is she being so obedient, not resisting at all! Doesn't she deserve to be beaten by this man! What's wrong with that He was clearly in the wrong, he didn't do anything right. If he hadn't acted like that, wouldn't she be fine!

But one of her hands was bound, destined to make her struggle and escape look clumsy. The metal handcuffs were strong, and they rubbed harshly against her skin. Her struggles only served to increase the pain in her hand.

"

Never repent!

"

The man snarled, easily pinning her down. "Slap!" he struck her backside with his infuriatingly large hand. The pain made her almost cry out!

That's too much!

Just the simple contact of his hand with air, there's a burning sensation. It shows just how cruel he is, and how vicious his heart is!

This is too much, too much!

She merely orchestrated a scene, and she never intended to leave. She gave him ample time to catch up, even leaving her anklet unremoved, waiting for his arrival. But the reason she waited for him wasn't what he thought it was!

If she had the courage, put in so much effort, and traveled such a long distance, only to be beaten up in the end, what was the point of all that trouble! Did he think she enjoyed sitting on a plane for over ten hours!

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more wronged she felt. The handcuffs on her right hand served as a stark reminder of her current predicament, making her feel pitifully ridiculous!

With force, she tugged at her right hand. The handcuffs clashed against the bedpost, and the chain rattled, raising the tension for a moment.

"If you still have a shred of sympathy, just do me a favor and give me a clean break. Just disable my hand completely, don't torture me with these handcuffs, slowly crippling my right hand!"

He was suddenly startled, his sharp eyes hurriedly looking towards her right hand. Seeing her violently pulling again, that hand seemed like it was about to be forcibly bitten by the handcuffs. He quickly reached out and grabbed her arm. She struggled, but he held on tight. She abruptly clenched her right fist, seemingly enduring great difficulty, but soon she loosened her grip, her right hand hanging softly down, as if giving up the fight. Her face also drooped deeply. Her seaweed-like curls completely covered most of her face, only revealing a small portion of her white and smooth skin, along with tiny tear marks on it. This made her appear so dejected and melancholic.

He frowned. When he saw that her right wrist was already red and seemed to be scratched, he felt like a needle had pricked his butt all of a sudden, and his body trembled slightly. Then, his face turned even gloomier. But contradicting his gloomy expression, guilt and heartache flickered in his eyes.

It was his carelessness that he actually handcuffed her right hand at the time!

He quickly reached into his pocket and pulled out the handcuffs, unlocking them. He tossed the handcuffs onto the ground and gently grasped her hand. Her skin was as white and tender as lotus root, but a red mark circled her wrist, jarringly out of place, stinging his eyes slightly.

He wanted to apologize, but he couldn't bring himself to say the words "I'm sorry." He could only say something dryly.

"You just ran away like this I can't forgive you!"

This is her biggest mistake!

No matter how she fought with him, it didn't matter, but she shouldn't have run away, shouldn't have just left him like that!

So, I can't say sorry!

He can't forgive!

"I should punish you properly..."

OK, just make it a little harsher, he won't be able to get past that hurdle in his own mind anyway.

He just can't bear to part with it!

"You've already beaten me so many times, and you still aren't satisfied!" She cried out in frustration.

“Not enough!” His tone was laced with a hint of malice.

She was so angry that she slammed her hand down on the bed!

"Too much!"

"Shameless!"

But he went to tug at his own belt, pull down the zipper, and drop his trousers. His tall frame pressed down.

You don't know, your running away, to me, is so excessive! More excessive than directly giving me a bullet!

He brushed back her curls and bit her delicate ear, full of resentment.

She whimpered in pain, and the next second, she screamed shrilly. Her tear-stained eyes widened in an instant. That feeling of being possessed in a moment was definitely not happiness, but pain, excruciating pain!

She didn't prepare at all, and now her butt is burning hot, it hurts even the slightest touch!

"Ouch!"

She wailed!

He hissed, "Without my heartache!"

She was immediately speechless!

The following onslaught of wind and rain-like attacks was familiar, but certainly not enjoyable. She ached and sobbed, but eventually reacted to the fact that she was being so pathetic. This wasn't another time he had overpowered her, right Filled with resentment and fury, she muttered curses under her breath.urchase price then would undoubtedly hurt their wallets. Instead, they resorted to pressure tactics. They continued to exert influence on relevant departments to put pressure on Double Wood and orches...
