Her frustration erupted. She no longer cared about her planned strategy of flattery and cursed loudly: “Are you sick? Even if the stepmother mistreated you, didn’t you get your revenge? Wasn’t her early death your doing? Even if she was wrong a thousand times, does that mean I am too? Have I ever bullied you? I’ve already shaved my head and become a nun, yet you still won’t let me go. Is bullying someone helpless so interesting?”
She successfully provoked the hatred in Meng Chi’s heart. In an instant, Meng Chi seemed to see Wang’s shadow on her face, mocking him for being tortured for so many years without daring to take revenge on her daughter. Meng Chi clenched his fist in anger and struck down heavily.
Ruan Ning had nowhere to hide and instinctively closed her eyes.
But the punch landed on the bed board, creating a hole in the wall. Meng Chi withdrew his fist, looking at the blood on it, and said softly, “Good sister, be good from now on.”
Ruan Ning shuddered, knowing that if the punch had hit her, she would have been seriously injured or killed.
Meng Chi enjoyed her fearful expression, his tall body pressing down again, his cold lips kissing her, whispering, “Don’t think about escaping; you can’t escape.”
Author’s note: Can one possibly fall in love with the person who imprisons them? I’m actually a bit confused.

The kiss was light, just a gentle touch of lips. Before Ruan Ning could resist, Meng Chi moved away and lay down beside her.
Ruan Ning’s heart raced; he simply took off his shoes and closed his eyes. After a while, light snoring sounds emerged as if he was asleep.
Ruan Ning could hardly believe it. She propped herself up and waved her hand in front of his face, but there was no reaction. Was he really asleep? Gritting her teeth, she sat up and raised her hand, unsure whether to strike.
She considered knocking him out to escape and find Zheng Yu, but if she failed, it would only lead to her downfall.
Suddenly, Meng Chi flipped over and pinned her down, his voice cool. “Haven’t decided yet?”
Meng Chi lazily watched her, noting her nervousness. Just moments ago, she had been defiant, and now she trembled in fear.
