Shi Qi's pupils shrank, and horror and fear swept over him. His soft, pale face instantly lost all color, and he screamed, "Don't—"

Jiu Ye is so cruel!

Jiu Ye is so bloody!

I've heard servants secretly say that Jiu Ye is a cruel and violent man.

I have seen his cruelty, but I have never experienced it in person as horrifying as this.

Shi Qi, who was begging for mercy, wanted to get off the bed, but she had to pull out the needle from her hand first. As soon as her hand touched the tube, Ting Jiuye felt cold and said, "Try to pull it out."

His eyes were cold, and his voice was chilling, like a sharp knife thrust out from nowhere, ready to shatter the air into pieces.

Shi Qi's hands were shaking as she looked at Jiu Ye, who was colder than ever before, staring at her like that.

"Master Jiu, I was wrong. Please spare Aunt An and the others..." Shi Qi tightly grasped the corner of the quilt. Her slender and soft fingers were so tight that their joints turned white. Her eyelashes trembled constantly and tears rolled down her face unexpectedly.

The pitiful look on his face, as if he had suffered a lot of injustice but dared not speak out, made Yejiu grit his teeth.

"Shut up!" His enchanting fox eyes were filled with shattered scarlet and completely covered by shadows.

Yejiu suddenly pinched her soft chin, his face hardened, a bloody wolf in his eyes, and he smiled sinisterly.

"Listen carefully, from the moment I adopted you, you are just my pet in Jinyuan. I can spoil you and pamper you, or I can use various methods to punish you severely." Yejiu's tense jawline showed his anger, and his gloomy voice was full of gloom.

He can pamper her, he can punish her, but he will never let her go. She must be his whether she lives or dies.

Shi Qi was frightened by Yejiu's behavior. Her soft, pale face froze, and she felt the blood in her body instantly turned cold. Her throat felt like it was being strangled, and she couldn't make a sound.

What was even more terrifying was that she felt like she was suffocating from the pain in her heart.

She nodded stiffly, the fear in her eyes evident, like a little white rabbit trapped in a cage struggling helplessly, feeling distressed when she saw Butler Yan beside her.

pet?

How cruel it is to be said in such a bloody way.

Master Jiu must be very angry.

The extreme coldness in the ward made Shi Qi feel like he was lying in the snow in the Arctic, with his limbs being corroded by the biting ice.

Yejiu let go of her chin, and several red marks instantly appeared on her fair skin. His eyes were gloomy as he pressed against her pale little face.

Without any warmth, he turned around and was about to leave the ward.

"Master Jiu, please spare Aunt An and the others. I beg you." Shi Qi couldn't help but speak out in the end. No matter how Butler Yan tried to stop her with his eyes, she still wanted to say it.

Yejiu lay sideways, its sinister eyes and brows casting a faint shadow in the backlight, half clear and half dark, full of oppression.

"If you want to save them, shouldn't you pay a price?"

cost?

Shi Qi's pupils constricted, her cold fingertips pinched into her palms, her pale lips trembling slightly, "I, I won't go to the high school entrance examination. I'll just stay in Jinyuan from now on, okay?"

Yejiu lowered his eyelashes, his eyes were dim and cold as he stared at her pale and increasingly thin face. He pursed his lips coldly, raised his long legs and walked away.

"Nine..." Shi Qi was anxious.

"That's enough, Miss." Butler Yan quickly stopped Shi Qi from speaking again, but tears started to fall from her eyes. "Hey, Miss, don't cry."

"Aunt An, Aunt An, Aunt An..." This was the saddest time Shi Qi cried since she came to Jinyuan.

She was extremely sad and guilty. It was all because of her own willfulness that she caused Aunt An to be implicated because of her...
