Chapter 79 079 ... Seductive Eyes

Chapter 79

When Lin Wan woke up again in the night and opened her eyes, the sky was still hazy and it was not yet dawn.

She felt a tightness in her chest, a shortness of breath, and extreme agitation, as if something had happened.

"..."

When Lin Wan lay down to sleep for the third time, she unexpectedly fell asleep and slept until the sun was high in the sky before waking up.

To be precise, I was woken up by someone.

"Miss, miss, why don't you get up first? Miss Su is here and says she wants to see you."

Lin Wan opened her sleepy eyes and looked with difficulty at Liu Ye, who had woken her up. When she heard Su Furong mentioned in her words, all her sleepiness disappeared. She quickly got up, washed up, and went to see Su Furong.

The dormitory doors and windows were all open, and the golden sunlight outside shone through them, spilling onto the dormitory floor and illuminating the warm desk by the window.

Lin Wan sat leaning against the armchair by the desk, her ankles still chained, unable to leave the bedroom door. Just then, she heard light footsteps outside the door, followed by Su Furong walking in quickly.

Su Furong's first question was, "...Are you really getting married?"

Lin Wan remained silent.

After a moment, she lowered her eyes and whispered, "You've heard?"

The items from yesterday, and that exquisitely embroidered auspicious robe—every single one of them seemed to indicate that her relationship with him was about to be finalized.

He could still pretend he didn't know, but now even Su Furong knows about it.

Lin Wan: "What did he say?"

Su Furong, sitting in front of Lin Wan, frowned slightly and told her about her family affairs one by one.

It turns out that when Shen Rong visited the manor before, the family had argued about this matter. The grandmother was so angry that she almost fainted, condemning Xie Huaiyuan for acting in a manner that was too impolite. Moreover, Lin Wan had not returned home since she disappeared and there was no news of her. Xie Huaiyuan's sudden proposal to marry Lin Wan was like a boulder being thrown into a lake, causing huge waves.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat. Concerned for her grandmother, she hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, how are you feeling?"

“Grandma is old and can’t handle stress. She’s always been worried about you, since she hadn’t been able to find you. So when she heard the news about you, she was anxious and couldn’t calm down for a while. But she was fine afterward, she just kept thinking about you.”

Lin Wan looked guilty. She had come to the capital to stay by her grandmother's side, but when she saw Xie Huaiyuan, she lost her mind and chased after him instead of staying by her grandmother's side. The guilt and frustration in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

Seeing that her eyes were red and brimming with tears, Su Furong quickly comforted her gently, "Fortunately, Grandmother has been taking care of her health and is fine. I was just worried about you. How have you been lately?"

She smiled slightly, as if mocking herself: "It's no different from anything else, just a caged bird kept in a gilded cage."

Su Furong glanced down and saw the long chain extending from the shelf at the foot of the bed all the way to under the desk. She wondered if it was because of Lin Wan's words or because she saw the chain on Lin Wan's feet. "I overheard my father talking at home. He said that your father has already set off for the capital and will arrive as early as next month. If that's true, then the young master shouldn't keep you imprisoned anymore, and you can come back then."

Lin Wan smiled wryly: "But—"

Without waiting for a reply, Su Furong said, "Trust me."

In fact, Lin Wan initially wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but at that time, no one knew about her relationship with him. He then brought their relationship into the open, forcing her to face it. She had been imprisoned by him for so many days and nights without any status or identity. If she did not marry him, she would probably be drowned in the condemnation and spittle of the world.

He's forcing her to make a choice!

At this moment, Liu Ye brought in several maids with a lot of food and placed it on the square table in the middle of the room. Instantly, the room was filled with a fragrant aroma.

Su Furong: "Haven't you eaten yet?"

Lin Wan smiled helplessly: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I went to bed late this morning. Why don't you come with me?"

Liu Ye led several maids out in single file, and the room returned to silence.

Even though Lin Wan walked very slowly, the chains on her feet clanged, and she was too embarrassed to look at Su Furong beside her.

Just then, Lin Wan felt a warmth in her palm. She turned her head and saw that Su Furong had taken her hand.

Su Furong smiled broadly: "I'm hungry too, let's eat together."

The food on the table was rather light, and Su Furong ate quite a bit with her. The two chatted and laughed, which eased Lin Wan's originally troubled mood considerably.

Su Furong did not leave Pear Blossom Lane until dusk.

The streets were still bustling with activity. Su Furong's carriage slowly passed through the crowds, when suddenly it shook violently and came to an abrupt stop.

Su Furong asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why aren't we moving forward?"

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked ahead at the crowded area, where something seemed somewhat familiar.

Isn't this the same pharmacy where she secretly bought pills for Lin Wan last time?

Su Furong stared wide-eyed in astonishment at the unbelievable scene unfolding before her. A perfectly good pharmacy was now surrounded by a group of city patrol officers, and she could even see bright red bloodstains on the exterior walls, doors, and windows of the shop, a truly horrifying sight.

The servant driving the carriage asked, "It seems the crowd at this intersection won't disperse so quickly. Perhaps we should take a detour back to the manor?"

Su Furong nodded in agreement, still feeling a bit shaken.

The servant struggled to pull the horse with the reins, turning it around the crowded streets and heading towards another intersection.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Furong hurriedly lowered the curtain, but it still couldn't block out the voices from the crowd around her.

"I heard it happened last night, it was terrifying."

"I'm afraid he was targeted for revenge. Otherwise, how could that doctor have died without a complete body? I just saw the city patrol officers find his severed arm in the back alley. My God, I wish I hadn't peeked out. It scared me to death."

"..."

Su Furong's hands and feet were ice-cold, and fear welled up in her heart. For some reason, she felt that if she went to the pharmacy today, she might lose her life.

-

Lin Wan still hadn't seen Xie Huaiyuan return by nightfall. In the past, he would have returned at least after dark. But then she thought, if he didn't come, then she was free. So she abandoned thinking about why he wasn't there and went to sleep.

In the stillness of the night, she seemed to hear rustling sounds, but she was too sleepy. She opened her eyes briefly to take a look, then fell asleep again.

Two more days passed peacefully. She would go to bed early every night, but around midnight she would hear rustling sounds, as if someone was beside her. Her eyelids would feel heavy and she would be unable to open them. When she finally opened her eyes, it was already dawn. She looked around and found no one else in the room.

The sky was overcast, and the willow leaves beside me seemed as melancholy as the sky itself.

Lin Wan leaned against the windowsill, watching the branches rustling in the wind outside, and asked casually, "Have there been many things happening in the palace these past few days?"

Liu Ye was slightly taken aback: "This servant is not sure, but the young master has been very busy these past few days, so perhaps."

As the two were talking, a person walked briskly towards them from the direction of the moon gate leading out of the front yard.

The servant took a breath and said respectfully, "Miss, the young master sent a message saying that he will probably return before dark today, and we will have dinner together then."

Having not heard from him for many days, this sudden news startled Lin Wan. She didn't know whether to be happy or surprised.

So much so that she lost all interest in looking out the window and even lost her appetite for dinner.

As night fell, a light drizzle began to fall. As time went on, the rain intensified, accompanied by thunder and lightning. The wind howled, rattling the doors and windows and making Lin Wan uneasy.

The howling wind made the candlelight inside the room flicker, so Lin Wan had to close the door tightly to block out the strong winds outside and the occasional flashes of lightning that streaked across the dark, rainy night.

At this moment, she felt not only troubled but also uneasy.

Another bolt of lightning flashed past the window.

When Lin Wan looked up at the closed doors and windows, she noticed that a small cabinet in a hidden corner was not closed.

That's where she kept her contraceptive pills.

Empty!

Suddenly, the flickering candlelight on the table went out instantly.

Lin Wan's heart stopped, just like the candle that had suddenly gone out.

Just then, I heard a faint noise behind me, seemingly coming from the direction of the door. It might be Liu Ye, who had just gone out. I had just told her that I wanted to rest early, and that the weather wasn't good tonight, so I told her to go back and rest early.

"Boom—"

Another flash of light streaked across the sky.

Lin Wan turned to the side and looked at the door behind her: "You don't need to..."

She stopped abruptly, frozen in place, staring wide-eyed at the figure standing in the doorway.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the door, and raindrops drifted in through the open doorway, sprinkling onto the floor and soaking Xie Huaiyuan's feet.

"You're still awake?"

Perhaps it was because of the cold rain, but Xie Huaiyuan's voice sounded so cold and chilling.

It's faint and cold.

Several days later, Lin Wan met Xie Huaiyuan.

He walked closer step by step through the drifting rain and stopped in front of Lin Wan. In the cold light flashing from outside, it was clear that he was almost completely soaked.

but.

Besides the obvious dampness, Lin Wan could also faintly smell a strong stench of blood.

"without……"

Upon suddenly seeing Xie Huaiyuan again, Lin Wan's mind was in turmoil. She wondered if she should say something, but when she opened her mouth slightly, she found that she couldn't utter any more words.

Lin Wan said softly, "You, Your Highness, you're back."

The dormitory fell silent instantly, and even the rain outside stopped abruptly, leaving only quiet in the room.

Xie Huaiyuan glanced up at Lin Wan, whose body was half-hidden in the darkness, and smiled faintly, "...Are you looking for something?"

Her breathing stopped along with her halting heartbeat. She looked at Xie Huaiyuan in surprise. The thing she feared most had happened. Xie Huaiyuan wouldn't have brought up those words for no reason.

"Is this it?"

While Lin Wan was trying to come up with an excuse to avoid the topic, Xie Huaiyuan raised his hand and took out a small jar from his soaked clothes. In the dim light, it was clear that what Xie Huaiyuan was holding was exactly what she had lost.

Lin Wan instantly felt a chill run down her spine, as if she had fallen into a frigid abyss. "No...no, listen..."

Xie Huaiyuan cut off all the rest of her words.

She stumbled unintentionally, and the chains on her ankles clanged loudly, sounding jarring in the quiet night.

Xie Huaiyuan reached out and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her into a tight embrace, or rather, holding her firmly in his arms, forcefully swallowing the words she was about to say.

She struggled desperately, but to no avail; instead, she was bound tighter and tighter. The damp smell emanating from him was mixed with a strong, pungent stench of blood, which swept over her and blocked all her escape routes.

Xie Huaiyuan slowly opened his eyes. In the dimly lit dormitory, there was an unreadable meaning in his dark eyes. As they drew closer, his warm breath made her face even hotter.

"Your Highness, please let me explain."

Lin Wan finally caught her breath; her face was flushed, and she exuded a subtle, alluring charm.

Xie Huaiyuan ignored her, then pulled her soft, rosy lips back into his grasp, his eyes dark and mysterious, seemingly watching her with great patience.

Her ears turned red as she felt his burning breath enveloping her from all sides.

The clanging sound of chains on his feet reached his ears, like the beginning of some kind of forbidden confinement.

Lin Wan was led back step by step by him until they reached the bedside.

She stumbled, her heart skipped a beat, and before she could react, she felt Xie Huaiyuan's heavy breathing and was pulled down by a strong force, falling onto the soft bedding.

Xie Huaiyuan stood there helplessly, one hand supporting himself on the edge of the blankets, the other holding her hand and pinning it above her head.

“Your Highness…” Lin Wan asked.

Xie Huaiyuan responded absentmindedly with a soft "Hmm?"

His palm caressed her private parts, the heat from which almost made her scalp tingle.

Lin Wan could feel the dampness seeping into her clothes more clearly, and the stench of blood assaulting her senses. Her voice was timid as she said, "You...you get up."

The curtains fell, blocking out the remaining light, and in the enclosed space, even the slightest movement was amplified.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his low voice carried a hint of teasing.

"Wanwan, do you really think my sincerity is so worthless?"

His voice held none of its usual warmth, but was soaked by the cold rain, filled with chill, hatred, and anger!

Lin Wan was startled and opened her eyes to look at him: "No... I've never felt that way."

In a daze, Xie Huaiyuan scooped her up with one hand, a barely perceptible chuckle escaping his lips. As if teasing prey, he leaned close to her ear and said, word by word, "Then what is the purpose of the pills in the little jar you hid?"

"No... I just wanted to."

The voice that had been whispering in her ear turned into a slow, lingering whisper that drifted towards the edge of her ear, stirring up a storm of emotions wherever it went, like a thousand stones being stirred up into a raging torrent.

Lin Wan: "No, no, please let me explain."

The sound that escaped her lips turned into a soft, weak moan, a sound that was far from a rejection; it was clearly meant to provoke Xie Huaiyuan's even greater desire for help.

Xie Huaiyuan felt that the shrimp's enclosure was about to burst into flames.

He turned and leaned on her shoulder, inhaling her sweet scent, and said in a low voice, "Fine, tell me, knowing that I had told you I truly wanted to marry you, and had even chosen a date, why did you push me away? Why did you ask for those pills behind my back? Why!"

Lin Wan opened her eyes, mustered her courage, looked up at him, and said tremblingly, "...I don't want to have it."

He suddenly fell silent.

In the darkness, only the faint, hazy moonlight shone through the openwork carvings on the doors and windows.

Before I knew it, the rain had stopped outside. The heavy clouds had dispersed, revealing the bright moon. The pale moonlight spread across the earth, illuminating the dark room with a silvery glow, echoing the silver chains tied to the foot of the bed.

Xie Huaiyuan stared straight at her, his eyes deep and dark, the desire buried deep within them undiminished.

Seeing the hidden meaning in his eyes, Lin Wan's heart skipped a beat.

He was furious.

Xie Huaiyuan slowly reached out and touched her lips, his thick, uneven fingertips caressing her lips as if playing with her hand, and said, "I will not give you any chance to leave me."

Before she could understand his words, Xie Huaiyuan calmly controlled her, saying, "You will never be able to leave."

As Xie Huaiyuan said this, he placed his palm on the back of her neck, pulled her into his arms, and then his burning hot mouth fell on her.

"Hmm."

Her fingertips weakly pushed against his shoulder, as if she had no choice but to accept her fate, and she was led by this man to open her lips, her fingers pinching one crease after another on the soft bedding.

Xie Huaiyuan didn't give her any breathing space at all, and just kept savoring the sweetness inside.

His palms were hot and dry, like torches burning in a campfire, their thin calluses moving freely, drilling along the fabric.

It was so hot. She felt like a little rabbit whose heart had been gripped. After Xie Huaiyuan licked her collarbone and tore off her only clothes, her snow-white breasts fell into Xie Huaiyuan's grasp, and he sucked them all into his mouth.

Xie Huaiyuan's teeth gently ground between her breasts, even rubbing against each other in his mouth.

Her face immediately burned, but she didn't have time to think or react before she quickly squeezed into the gap.

The overwhelming impact made her eyes widen, but Xie Huaiyuan continued to thrust and penetrate endlessly until everything was inside.

Lin Wanmei's eyes were glazed over, her gaze unfocused, until she had no strength left to resist.

After countless times, Xie Huaiyuan's eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at her, who was lying limp in his arms.

Since that night, Lin Wan has hardly seen any open doors or windows, nor has she seen any scenery outside, let alone any third person besides him and Liu Ye.

It was a true house arrest.

In the days and nights that followed, Xie Huaiyuan, with his increasingly heavy bloodlust, tormented her, dragging her into the depths of despair.

On the last bright and clear night of next month.

Lin Wan was struck by Xie Huaiyuan and fell heavily to the ground again. After repeatedly spitting out blood, she succumbed to dizziness and weakness...
