Chapter 13 Don't Forget

She has her pride, and even though she is imprisoned, her pride has never been diminished in the slightest.

Who does he think he is? Does he need to determine her value?

She raised her hand, her slender index finger pointing directly at the open door, and her voice was cold.

"I'm tired. You go out."

A cold snort escaped from Jiang Yanbai's throat, full of mockery.

He approached step by step, his tall figure casting a suffocating shadow.

In her astonished eyes, he suddenly reached out and pressed her petite body down on the soft big bed.

The hot breath mixed with the smell of alcohol sprayed unceremoniously on the sensitive skin of her neck.

He spoke slowly, each word carrying the force of a claim to sovereignty.

"Don't forget. This is no longer the Gu family. It's the Jiang family now, and it's my territory! You, Gu Miaomiao, have no right to ask me to leave."

He had carefully built this cage for her.

Her every move, her joys and sorrows should be controlled by him.

After Jiang Yanbai finished speaking, his eyes were as dark as thick ink that could not be dissolved.

He ripped open the tie around his neck with a rough and wild movement.

Another large hand with distinct joints quickly grabbed Gu Miaomiao's hands as she tried to resist.

He lifted her wrists high above her head and held them tightly.

The fine-quality tie now became a tool to tie her up. He tied it tightly around her wrists, leaving dark marks.

He looked down at her who was trembling slightly with anger, a wicked and dangerous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his low voice was like the whisper of a devil.

"The game has just begun."

He wanted to make her understand who was the real master from now on.

He would repay her, bit by bit, double for all the pain and humiliation she had ever inflicted on him.

Gu Miaomiao's wrists were tied and she couldn't move.

The tie dug deep into her skin, causing burning pain.

Not willing to be outdone, she suddenly raised her long legs and kicked him hard.

This was the only resistance she could muster at the moment.

Jiang Yanbai snorted coldly, easily grabbed her ankle, and with a little force, pressed her legs to the bed.

All her struggles seemed so futile in front of him.

He looked down at her, his eyes filled with cat-and-mouse playfulness.

Just because you declared yourself to be my secretary, you thought I would let you go?

His low voice was full of sarcasm, like the tongue of a poisonous snake, licking her earlobe.

Since you have so much energy, enjoy these two jobs.

Secretary? A plaything for his bed? He wanted her to live under his control day and night, and endure his wrath.

Gu Miaomiao was so angry that her whole body was shaking and her chest was heaving violently.

Jiang Yanbai, you are shameless!

She suddenly raised her head and opened her mouth, wanting to bite his handsome face which was so close to her.

Jiang Yanbai seemed to have anticipated this. She tilted her head slightly and only bit a piece of air.

This feeling of powerlessness made her even angrier. Jiang Yanbai looked at her cheeks flushed with anger and the unyielding light in her eyes.

This look of a trapped beast fighting hard actually gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

Jiang Yanbai released her ankle and stood up slowly.

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the bedside table and picked up a long, thin black leather whip. The whip spun nimbly between his fingers, making a slight sound of breaking through the air.

He weighed the object in his hand, his eyes calm and composed.

Aren’t these methods all learned from you, Miss Gu?

His voice was indifferent, but every word was heart-wrenching.

After all, you are the one who teaches well.

It was she who had once inflicted all this pain on him. Now, the situation has changed.

The moment the words fell.

Bang!

The whip broke through the air, bringing with it a sharp sound of wind, and landed heavily on Gu Miaomiao's smooth shoulders.

A glaring red mark quickly appeared on her snow-white skin.

Gu Miaomiao groaned in pain and curled up uncontrollably.

She bit her lower lip tightly, swallowing all the screams of pain. Her lips soon bled from being bitten, and the taste of rust spread in her mouth.

She would never show weakness in front of him. Never!

This stubbornness completely ignited Jiang Yanbai's long-suppressed anger.

What he wanted was not her silence, but her collapse and her begging for mercy!

Jiang Yanbai increased the strength in his hands, and his joints turned white from the force.

He stretched out his other hand and pressed down hard on her trembling shoulders, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Bang!

Another whip landed hard on the outside of her tender thigh.

The burning pain made her almost faint.

He leaned over, his cold breath brushing against her ear.

Didn’t you love hearing my screams the most in the past?

His voice was low and raspy, filled with cruel anticipation.

Now, it's my turn to hear what your screams, Gu Miaomiao, sound like.

He wanted her to taste everything he had ever endured, and even more.

Gu Miaomiao clenched her teeth. The humiliation was so severe that she could hardly breathe.

Everything she did at that time was just to protect Jiang Yanbai from under the nose of that old pervert Gu Zhengxiong!

He was watching her in the dark all the time, so she had to do it.

She raised her head, her bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Jiang Yanbai.

"I don't!"

Her voice cracked and she growled.

"I had no choice at that time! Jiang Yanbai, why didn't you listen to my explanation?"

Jiang Yanbai's face instantly turned gloomy.

She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family. There is nothing she cannot get what she wants. What difficulties could she have? Who can force her to do something she doesn't want to do!

He leaned over, clamped his bony fingers around her jaw, and slowly tightened his grip.

"Shut up!"

There was murderous intent in his eyes, and he was about to raise the whip in his hand again!

There was a sound of quick and light footsteps on the stairs.

Immediately afterwards, an urgent female voice sounded.

"Brother Yanbai!"

Jiang Yanbai paused, and upon hearing that, he threw the whip hard on the soft bed.

A sinister gaze swept across Gu Miaomiao's pale face like a knife.

"Stay still!"

After saying that, he turned around, strode out, and slammed the door.

Outside the door, Lin Qing's voice, which was sickeningly sweet but now choked with sobs, could be heard clearly.

"Brother Yanbai, I, I seemed to be followed when I was going home just now..."

Her voice was filled with tears: "I'm so scared, Brother Yanbai, can I...stay with you for a while?"

A brief silence.

Then came the calm voice of Jiang Yanbai.

"Then you can stay in the room next door for now."

Gu Miaomiao listened to the footsteps of the two people gradually fading away until they disappeared at the end of the corridor.

She took a deep breath, endured the pain on her wrists, and began to move her bound hands.

She recalled the escape techniques she had learned to deal with certain situations, and her fingertips nimbly hooked a corner and gently pulled it.

With a little skillful effort, the tie knot loosened.

As soon as her wrist was free, Gu Miaomiao immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out barefoot.
