If he was determined to take revenge this way, she had no choice. But her work must be preserved, at least to ensure she could feed herself when he grew tired of her.
Yue Linze watched her wilt completely, totally different from before. It was as if after learning he remembered, she became like a hedgehog with its throat pinched – fearful yet unable to resist pointing her spines at him. This futile resistance meant nothing to him but made his inner fire burn brighter.
His gaze darkened, and he pushed her down with one hand, immediately pressing himself on top of her.
Tao Yu panicked when pressed onto the bed, looking at his eyes in shock, hearing his emotionless voice: “Since you’ve agreed to marry me, show some sincerity.”
…Even at a time like this, he was thinking about that. A sense of humiliation rose in Tao Yu’s heart, making her entire body tremble. Yue Linze kissed her earlobe, whispering: “For your so-called escape route, you’d better be good. Otherwise, you won’t change the outcome and will only provoke me.
Tao Yu felt a chill all over her body, and after a long time, she closed her eyes and said in a pale face: “Do as you wish.” After saying this, she relaxed her body and lay there with a heart like dead ashes, feeling as if she owed him everything. Since that was the case, she might as well let him do as he pleased.
She only hoped that after venting his anger, he would leave her a bit of dignity.
Yue Linze quietly looked at her for a long time, suddenly feeling completely uninterested. Finally, he expressionlessly pulled the blanket over both of them, hugged her waist, closed his eyes, and rubbed his slightly stubbled chin against her neck, which scratched her skin painfully.
Tao Yu remained stiff for a long time, never expecting his next move. When she slightly shifted her body, he hugged her even tighter.
Her waist was gripped so tightly it hurt, and she bit her lip to prevent herself from crying out. She slowly opened her eyes, unable to look down due to Yue Linze’s position, and could only stare blankly at the ceiling.
The air in the room became silent, and Tao Yu listened to their shallow breathing, knowing he was just as awake as she was.
