Chapter 66 066 Taking Her Away...

When Lin Wan fell into a coma, she was so dizzy and disoriented that her mind was heavy and overwhelmed. When she opened her eyes again, her mind went completely blank, and she had a disorienting feeling that she didn't know what day it was.

Her hazy eyes surveyed her surroundings. Through the thin red gauze curtains hanging from the bed, she saw that the room was dark and without a ray of light. The only light came from two brightly burning red candles on the square table in the center of the room. In the dim and hazy light, wisps of incense smoke rose from the small holes of the incense burner. She could vaguely smell a strange fragrance and guessed that it must be from the incense burner.

The doors and windows around the room were tightly closed, making it impossible to tell whether it was day or night outside. Right next to the bed frame was an empty clothes rack, which looked as if clothes had been placed there before, but were no longer there.

Lin Wan's gaze swept across every corner of the room. The room was empty and had no other decorations, which was quite ordinary. However, even though her mind was still a little unclear, she was startled to feel a sense of déjà vu emanating from the room in front of her.

Where exactly is this?

She frowned, struggling to sit up from under the covers. Using the strength of her arms, she sat up. At that moment, the bedding she touched caught Lin Wan's attention. She looked down and her previously listless eyes instantly became fully alert the moment she saw the red silk quilt with mandarin ducks covering her.

Not only the bedding, but also the clothes she was wearing were the exact same color as the bedding, a dazzling, festive red. At this moment, Lin Wan finally realized what was happening.

She suddenly looked up at the room again, and her sealed memories shattered.

This is a villa in Pear Blossom Lane!

Lin Wan figured it out. After going around in circles, she returned to the place that had imprisoned her for two months, and this room was his bedroom!

She panicked; the place she had finally managed to escape from had been brought back to her.

Lin Wan gritted her teeth, threw off the hanging bed curtains, and, ignoring the chill on the floor, quickly ran towards the closed door.

"Wanwan, where are you running to in such a hurry?"

Suddenly, a chilling male voice came from behind.

In an instant, Lin Wan stopped in her tracks at the sound, hesitated and slowly turned her head to look behind her. She saw a man sitting upright in a sandalwood armchair in front of the closed window on the west side. His clothes were exactly the same as Lin Wan's, both of them a dazzling red.

The red candles on the table crackled and burned, their dim light illuminating half of Xie Huaiyuan's face, while the other side remained shrouded in darkness, adding to his chilling and menacing appearance.

Red candles, red silk quilts with mandarin ducks, and a bright red wedding robe.

At that moment, she suddenly understood something and was shocked by Xie Huaiyuan's idea.

Without saying a word, she turned around and ran towards the door again; she wanted to leave!

Lin Wan's heart was pounding. She placed her hand on the door and tried to pull it open, but found that she couldn't open it no matter how hard she tried.

"Wanwan, seeing you like this makes me very sad." Just then, Xie Huaiyuan stood up and slowly walked over.

She tried her best but couldn't budge the door even a crack. She knew it was locked from the outside. After her reckless courage failed her, Lin Wan leaned against the door, realizing she couldn't leave. She turned to face Xie Huaiyuan, who was approaching.

"Xie Huaiyuan, what exactly do you want to do!"

Xie Huaiyuan walked up to her, silently looked down at her, and pursed his lips, as if he was suppressing the turbulent emotions surging within him.

They were very close, and she could smell the cool, refreshing scent that Xie Huaiyuan usually wore. Their eyes met, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air without them saying a word.

Lin Wan leaned tightly against the door, the coolness of the door frame seeping into her stiff back through her thin clothes, allowing her to remain clear-headed and calmly look at Xie Huaiyuan.

At this moment, Xie Huaiyuan met her gaze and clearly saw that her eyes were so calm, without any joy at the difference before her, and even more so, completely calm, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

His eyes gradually darkened as he looked at her calm expression, finding her utterly hateful. Xie Huaiyuan took another step closer and asked, "I don't believe you can't see what I'm trying to do. Isn't this what you want?"

Without a second thought, Lin Wan gritted her teeth and said, "No, I don't want to think about it anymore. I hope you, Your Highness, will be magnanimous and not play tricks on me."

"Playing games?" Xie Huaiyuan's eyes darkened. He pursed his lips with sarcasm. This fickle person, before he could win his heart, would seize every opportunity to stay by his side, constantly expressing his love for him. But now, he was acting out of character, as if he wanted to distance himself from him with coldness and aloofness.

He leaned closer, his expression growing even more sinister: "Tell me, who's playing whom? Or are you trying to pretend that what happened before that attracted me never happened?"

Lin Wan stared at him, her hazy mind recalling fragments of their argument. That person's death was an undeniable obstacle between them. Without hesitation, she said, "Yes, is that not allowed?"

No, Lin Wan thought of all the things she had done before, and wished she could erase every single detail of her entanglement with him.

Or perhaps, from the very beginning, when Xie Huaiyuan ignored her efforts, she should have withdrawn, instead of continuing to get deeply involved, leading to this embarrassing situation.

At that moment, Lin Wan's waist suddenly tightened, and the doorway she was leaning against suddenly disappeared. Xie Huaiyuan pulled her forcefully, and she quickly pressed herself against his thick chest. His chilling aura swept over her.

Seeing Xie Huaiyuan's expression, Lin Wan's eyes widened in surprise, and she hurriedly raised her hand to shield herself in a panic.

Xie Huaiyuan sneered: "You went to great lengths to seduce me, and now you've got what you wanted. Are you satisfied?"

Lin Wan instinctively struggled to retreat, but she had nowhere to hide in the narrow space. The difference in strength between the two was too great, and Xie Huaiyuan easily captured her two hands that were blocking her way.

She struggled wildly, but the man in front of her held her tightly: "Since you promised to stay by my side, you should keep your word. You've been deceiving me so ficklely. What do you take me for, someone I can summon and dismiss at will?"

Xie Huaiyuan didn't say anything more. His expression was gloomy. Without a moment's hesitation, he grabbed her, picked her up, and walked straight back.

As she passed by the red candles in the room with the speed of the wind, the flames flickered, casting her shadow on the wall. Suddenly, one of the two candles went out, making the already dimly lit room even darker.

Without pausing for a moment, Xie Huaiyuan lifted the hanging bed curtains and strode towards the bed.

Lin Wan gasped as she saw herself fall back onto the bed she had just left. Taking advantage of the moment he loosened his grip, she scrambled to the side as far away as possible, stammering, "Your Highness, please let me explain..."

Facing Lin Wan's timid gaze, Xie Huaiyuan's Adam's apple bobbed as he spoke, "I already said that if you dare to run away again, I will definitely imprison you. Wanwan, since you have provoked me, don't even think about leaving!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the hidden cabinet on the side of the bed and reached inside to take out a small brocade box.

It's that brocade box containing the eyebrow medicine that she once lost and disappeared. How come it's still there!

Lin Wanxin panicked completely: "No... Young Master, I won't run away again, really!"

The red silk curtains that were hooked on both sides of the bed fell silently, completely blocking out the flickering candlelight.

In the dimly lit room, there seemed to be a rustling sound.

Xie Huaiyuan opened the brocade box in his hand, took out the last remaining pill, and stared at Lin Wan, who was hiding tightly on the inside of the bed, with an almost bewitching gaze. He then swallowed the eyebrow-nourishing pill he had prepared for himself.

Lin Wan was startled and stared at him in horror, because she later learned that the effects of the pills were cumulative. If both pills were taken by one person, the combined effect would be unbearable.

At that moment, she desperately wanted to turn around and slap her own foolish self. Why did she even bother buying this medicine in the first place?!

Xie Huaiyuan kept a straight face, his eyelids opening and closing, and finally, with a burning desire surging up, he approached her, pinning her against the wall, leaving her with no way out.

He leaned closer, his eyes full of profound meaning.

In the dim light, his long-suppressed desire became unbearable. His eyes, now burning red, stared intently at her as he said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner?"

Xie Huaiyuan suddenly lowered his head and captured her lips, forcing Lin Wan to look up and accept it, her neck stiff and slightly tilted back.

The familiar scent of pills accompanied the domineering and forceful mouthwash, an aroma that made her extremely uneasy, strong and irresistible.

Lin Wan was so anxious that she trembled as she huddled in Xie Huaiyuan's arms, struggling to twist her body and trying to push the man in front of her away with both hands.

However, her attempts to deflect the issue were futile and only further enraged Xie Huaiyuan.

As they struggled and wrestled, they both fell onto the couch.

Before Lin Wan could react, he had already restrained her with his hands, rendering her completely immobile.

He choked Lin Wan's lips, which were about to cry out, from above, as if he were ruthlessly stealing her breath.

"Wanwan, marry me, and you'll never be able to escape me for all eternity!"

Lin Wan was stunned by his words.

She was struggling to breathe, and her heart was pounding violently.

She had often fantasized about hearing these words in person, but at this moment, Lin Wan looked up at him with mixed feelings.

Lin Wan's hands, which were pressed against her body, were suddenly gripped tightly above her head, and she was immobilized by his hands and feet.

Xie Huaiyuan looked down at her, his eyes growing darker, the desire surging in his eyes almost overwhelming her.

Without hesitation, he covered his lips and decisively stopped himself from speaking.

Lin Wan's cheeks flushed red from the overwhelming heat, and before she knew it, he had pulled and loosened the sash around her waist.
