Chapter 89 I saved you from all of this

Luo Tingwei knew that this was retaliation; he would never let it go as long as he was still angry.

He kept her locked up here every day, only allowing the servants to bring her three meals a day, and the rest of the time she stayed here quietly by herself.

It seems to be making her reflect on her mistakes.

Before, she might have had the guts to go on a hunger strike to protest against him, but now, she felt she was in the wrong and could even understand his anger, so she didn't even have the courage to go on a hunger strike anymore.

"Li Yanzhou, I'll accept whatever punishment you give me, but... it really hurts."

She said, her voice trembling.

She was still very weak, having undergone a D&C procedure less than a month ago.

“Baby, you know it’s punishment, right? It’s right that it hurts. How can it be a punishment if it doesn’t hurt? Don’t worry, I’ve asked the doctor. You’ll be fine. At most, it will hurt a little.”

He spoke cruelly, then produced another tube of ointment from somewhere and applied it to her.

It was cool and refreshing, which helped relieve her discomfort slightly.

As he applied the ointment, he casually remarked, "You know what? Lin Zeyuan is in a much worse situation than you."

"He's already underground."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tingwei trembled involuntarily. "You... killed him?"

Li Yanzhou suddenly tightened his grip, as if in warning, "What, are you unhappy?"

Luo Tingwei hissed in pain.

She was simply surprised that Lin Zeyuan was dead.

A person who was alive and well just a few days ago suddenly died.

Although, he truly deserved to die.

Luo Tingwei sighed, unsure of what to feel.

Lin Zeyuan was, after all, a member of the Lin family. Li Yanzhou killed him just like that, truly showing his absolute power and utter impunity.

Her thoughts shifted, and she suddenly remembered the two times he saved her, five years ago in the United States and some time ago on Coconut Grove Island.

After hesitating for a long time, Luo Tingwei took a deep breath and finally asked, "Then...where is his body?"

After applying the medicine, Li Yanzhou carefully wiped his hands with a handkerchief, glanced at her, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Although he was despicable, he did save me twice. Now that he's dead, could you... send him back to his family, or find a proper place to bury him? That would be the least I can do for him."

Seeing her speaking so seriously, Li Yanzhou felt a surge of disgust.

It seems there are some things that I have to say today.

Since Lin Zeyuan was already dead, he didn't want to keep it a secret any longer.

"Save you?"

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Laurinda, how did he save you?"

When Luo Tingwei heard him call her by that name, she trembled and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He would never call her that.

"What...what did you say?"

"Prick up your ears and listen carefully, I'm only saying this once."

He gently nibbled on her earlobe, his voice as distant and eerie as if it came from hell.

"Whether it was five years ago in the United States or recently on Fergie Island, the person who saved you both times was none other than..."

"It's me, Li Yanzhou."

As he finished speaking the last word, he bit down hard, then suddenly hugged her, his voice hoarse.

"You probably don't know, my dear Vivi, you love me to death. Five years ago, you came to the club's bar every day to drink Long Island Iced Tea, just so you could sneak a peek at me."

"Look at you back then, you were so cute. Later, you pretended to fall into the water just to get my attention and make me save you, didn't you?"

Luo Tingwei was completely confused. "What are you talking about? What are you talking about?"

"Still don't understand?"

He pinched her breast as punishment, "Five years ago, you liked me, and I was the one who saved you. Do you know why I killed Lin Zeyuan?"

"Plotting against me in public and forcibly kidnapping you are secondary; they don't warrant my killing him. What makes him most despicable is that he comfortably portrays himself as the one who saved you, encroaching on the memories that should belong to you and me. I've already shown him the utmost mercy by keeping him alive until now, yet he remains oblivious to his fate, repeatedly challenging my bottom line."

"When I rescued you from the sea on Figi Island, I only went to get a first-aid kit, but he was already beside you. Silly girl, weren't you touched? You thought it was him who saved you."

"Let me tell you, it was me! I pulled you out of the sea! I gave you CPR and helped you get the water out of your lungs. Do you think you could have survived until now without me?"

As Li Yanzhou spoke, he kissed her, biting her hard as if she were an object, as if venting his anger and resentment.

"Hmm..."

Before Luo Tingwei could process this large amount of information, she tasted a salty, fishy flavor in her mouth; her lips had actually been bitten and bled.

She was numbly kissed by him, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, her heart filled with astonishment.

What is he saying?

What exactly is he saying...?

Wasn't it Lin Zeyuan who saved her both times? Why did it turn out to be him again?

She doesn't believe it!

What Li Yanzhou said at this moment completely overturned her understanding.

The image of Lin Zeyuan as her savior was already deeply ingrained in her heart.

Now, he tells her that everything is wrong, everything is completely wrong...

He told her that it was he, Li Yanzhou, who had saved her time and time again.

He told her that five years ago, the person she had been longing for was actually him, Li Yanzhou!

How ridiculous, how absurd!

Her thoughts became chaotic, she closed her eyes, and a tear rolled down her cheek.

She doesn't remember, but she remembers nothing at all...

My head hurts so much, it's starting again...

Having vented his anger on her, Li Yanzhou's gaze traveled upwards, and seeing her tears, a ripple of emotion stirred within him. He wiped away her tears and spoke in an almost pathological manner.

"Luo Tingwei, why are you crying? You should be happy. You are by my side now. Isn't this what you always wanted? You used to be so humble, just to be able to see me from afar. Now I hug you and kiss you every day, and do 'that' with you. Aren't you happy?"

"But I can't remember, I can't remember anything... What exactly happened five years ago? Who is lying between you and Lin Zeyuan? I don't know anything... Who should I believe?"

Luo Tingwei closed her eyes in pain.

Li Yanzhou's words created a crack in her heart, but they didn't completely convince her.

Seeing her stubbornness, the man seemed to lose his reason, took out a key to unlock the chains on her hands and feet, and was about to pull her off the bed.

"You don't believe me?"

"Luo Tingwei, you don't believe me, do you?"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed her arm in a fit of rage, dragging her along the ground.

With a bang, he kicked the door open.

Luo Tingwei struggled, wincing in pain from his pulling, "Where...where are you taking me? I don't want to..."

"You didn't believe me? Come on, I'll take you to remember. Luo Tingwei, from now on, I want you to stay by my side willingly. I don't want every time we do it to each other to feel like I'm forcing you..."

A little hardship will make it sweet.
