Chapter 150: Favoring One over the Other
The room was filled with echoes.
Through the window lattice, you can see that it is dark outside.
The effect of the drug was too strong. After Song Lingyi shouted a few words, she felt swelling and pain in her solar plexus. She slowly squatted down and sat with her back against the golden railing.
After a long time, footsteps were heard from the wooden corridor outside the house.
Song Lingyi shuddered, stood up from the railing, took a few steps back, and looked at the closed door vigilantly.
Soon, the door was pushed open from the outside.
The moment she saw who was coming, Song Lingyi was stunned at first, then her eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.
"Lu Qian?"
Lu Qian stood at the door.
He was tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Standing there, he almost completely blocked the door. Against the candlelight on the corridor, he looked a little gloomy.
Song Lingyi frowned.
Even though he had expected it, he was still surprised when he actually saw Lu Qian.
After the Lantern Festival, this man has been silent. I thought he had changed his mind, but I didn't expect that he would focus on this.
Lu Qian's lips curled up slightly as he stepped into the room, opened the small door of the golden cage, and then closed it behind him.
Click——
A slight sound was heard, and when their eyes met, Song Lingyi's heart trembled.
"How do you like this room? Do you like it?" Lu Qian looked at her calmly.
The enclosed space was filled with the boy's aggressive aura. It was obvious what would happen when a man and a woman were alone in the same room. Song Lingyi was forced to retreat step by step, but she still forced herself to remain calm.
"Hongqi and the others will be here soon, you'd better let me go."
Raising her eyes slightly, she met that burning gaze and subconsciously wanted to run. However, before she touched the small door of the golden cage, Lu Qian picked her up by the waist and placed her on the table, and the distance between them suddenly shortened.
Song Lingyi let out a low cry, and her body, which was falling backwards due to inertia, was pulled back by a big hand. She raised her head in panic and met the pair of light-colored, auspicious phoenix eyes, and her mind went blank in an instant.
Lu Qian raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his voice low and hoarse: "Why are you running? This villa is very hidden, they may not be able to find it."
Even if he is found, will the guards of the Duke's Mansion dare to capture him and go against him?
Hearing this, Song Lingyi's heart trembled for no reason.
Her nostrils were filled with the woody fragrance of his body. She swallowed and tried to reason with him, but before she could open her mouth, the hand holding her slender waist caressed her provocatively, causing her to tremble all over and turn pale with fear.
Snap——
The crisp sound of slapping echoed in the room.
"Lu Qian, are you crazy?"
"I'm your sister!"
Song Lingyi scolded, but her struggling strength was completely suppressed, and her hands were tied behind her back.
"younger sister?"
That cold and gloomy face showed no emotion at all. He lowered his eyes to look at her and sneered, "Do you think I'll fall for that?"
The atmosphere fell into a moment of silence. Lu Qian's body temperature enveloped her, and even her breathing became hot.
"And what about Grandmother?"
"You dare to imprison me? If my grandmother finds out, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Lu Qian's eyes darkened, but there was no retreat in his eyes, only the arrogance of eagerness to get it: "So what if I know, doesn't my grandmother like you very much? When you marry me, you can always be with her. It should be a happy event."
“…”
Song Lingyi's face was full of disbelief. Where did this fallacy come from?
Those beautiful black eyes were as lively as when they first met. Lu Qian's heart was moved and his thin lips suddenly dropped.
Song Lingyi tilted her head in panic as the kiss landed on her cheek, its scorching heat threatening to burn her skin. Almost instinctively, she closed her eyes tightly and slammed her forehead into his.
Bang--
Foreheads collided.
The pain was so severe that tears came to her eyes.
"Hiss~" Lu Qian took a breath of cold air.
Last time, her hands were not locked, and the swelling on her face took several days to heal. This time, she was locked, but she was not afraid of the pain and dared to hit him with her forehead.
"Lu Qian, you bastard!" His voice trembled slightly and was filled with sobs, purely out of pain.
The angry curses did not awaken Lu Qian's conscience. His eyes became more vicious. He raised his hand and pinched Song Lingyi's chin, forcefully bringing her gaze back.
"Yeah, I'm an asshole."
"Pei Zhao is gone, and now here comes the Crown Prince. What do you want me to do? Why can they do it, but I can't?"
"Sister, are you being partial?"
Song Lingyi was frightened by these words. Is this how the term "favoring one and neglecting the other" is used?
Perhaps she was so angry at his actions that she shouted, "You just can't do it!"
Lu Qian looked at her, his heart ached for a moment, and his expression was cold and inhuman.
"Really? Then I want you to see if I can do it."
It was clearly a straightforward rejection, but he misinterpreted the meaning. Song Lingyi's ears turned red, and she felt it was ridiculous. Her pair of bright black eyes were filled with astonishment, and her mind was full of "Is he really crazy?"
The passionate kiss fell on the side of her face again, and Song Lingyi's heart broke.
"Lu Qian, you are trying to kill me!"
The atmosphere became tense again.
After a long time, Lu Qian reached out and held her face. In the dim candlelight, his auspicious eyes looked at her deeply. But the next words made Song Lingyi shudder.
"Don't worry, if you die, I won't live alone."
Snap——
Suddenly, there was a sound of broken porcelain outside the house. Song Lingyi's eyes trembled slightly and she subconsciously shrank back.
Lu Qian's back stiffened slightly, and he slowly turned his head to look at the door. His eyelashes drooped, covering the dark emotions in his eyes.
"wait for me."
After saying these two words, he left the golden cage, leaving the frightened girl sitting on the table. She took two deep breaths before she calmed down.
…
The courtyard was dark.
Chu Yizhou scratched his head in front of a pile of broken porcelain until the door of the main courtyard opened and Lu Qian came out. Only then did he calm down a little and pull him out of the yard.
"A Qian! What the hell are you doing?!"
Chu Yizhou spread his hands, not knowing what to say.
He had originally thought his good brother had asked him to prepare a secluded courtyard with a better environment out of leisure and elegance. Even if it was to build a golden cage, he wouldn't have doubted it. Who knew it would be used for this purpose...
"Let her go quickly. If you like her, you can ask your aunt to propose marriage. Are you afraid that an orphan like her, living under someone else's roof, will refuse?"
Lu Qian had no expression on his face.
"Either get out or be quiet."
If proposing marriage could succeed, why would he do this?
"Ah Qian, consider this my plea!" Chu Yizhou almost knelt down before Lu Qian, crying, "If the Duke and my father knew about this, they would definitely break my legs. We've known each other for so many years, are you willing to see me become a cripple..."
I howled for a long time, but not a single tear shed.
Lu Qian said coldly, "Hmm," and said with a very nonchalant tone: "It's okay, I'll take care of you if you're disabled. You don't need a mouth to feed me."
Chu Yizhou fell silent.
If soft tactics don’t work, then try hard tactics… Hard tactics probably won’t work either. He can’t beat Lu Qian, and this time he’s really helpless.
