Chapter 153 Don't Treat Me Like This
"I can grant you anything you ask for, as long as it has nothing to do with any man."
He smiled, trying his best to make his expression look gentle in order to lessen the negative impression he left on her.
"Of course, if that man were me, I would be happy to cooperate with you."
Hearing him say that, Tao Tao found it even harder to speak, because she wanted to ask him for help because of another man.
Seeing the nervous look on her face, Duan Gan thought something had happened to her.
"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Seeing that she still didn't speak, his brows furrowed, he put down the bowl in his hand, and spoke in a faint voice.
"Then let me ask you another way: who do you want to kill?"
Upon hearing this, her pupils immediately contracted, and her heart surged as if in turmoil.
He asked her so seriously who she wanted to kill, and that he would definitely do it if she said that name.
Looking at his expression, she had no doubt about it and was certain that he would do it.
She suddenly panicked, her heart pounding like a drum, a dull thud against her soul, and her ears even started ringing with tension.
She suddenly realized this was a new challenge, an opportunity... to push the boundaries...
Tao Tao looked at him with a smile and said softly, "I heard that the Crown Prince was implicated in what happened last night. Actually, you know that this matter really has nothing to do with him. He is innocent."
Duan Gan's smile froze, his expression turned calm, and his pupils, as dark and deep as ink, stared intently at her.
In that bottomless depth, something terrifying seemed to be hidden, but the master was desperately suppressing it.
His eyelashes fluttered, he lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Tao Tao, you'd better think it through before you speak."
Seeing how calm he was, she didn't take it to heart and walked up to him, talking to herself.
"Si Lang, he's locked up in jail now, I... I beg you to save him... Ah!"
With a loud crack, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the sudden and unexpected loud noise startled Tao Tao, causing her to involuntarily let out a scream.
He slammed the bowl on the table to the ground, sending porcelain shards and food flying everywhere.
She looked up in shock at the man before her, his expression gloomy and terrifying, his cold eyes surging with murderous intent.
Tao Tao's face turned pale, her eyes showed fear, and she unconsciously took a step back.
As soon as she moved, a large hand gripped her neck tightly, and she immediately couldn't breathe.
The beautiful face drew closer, a face that had once captivated her now utterly terrifying, like the poison hidden within a datura flower, a mere drop enough to take her life.
The icy breath sprayed onto her lips, making her heart pound.
"No one has ever been able to toy with me like this before, Tao Tao. Can't you see everything I've done for you?! People, money, power, even status and position—I've presented everything to you without you even having to ask."
"Is this how you treat me? You begged me to save another man right in front of me. Don't you have even the slightest place for me in your heart?!"
He was going crazy. How could she do this! How... how could she trample on his feelings so easily!
Duan Gan's eyes were slightly red, and he was barely able to suppress the burning murderous intent in his heart. He was also about to lose control of the strength in his hands.
Her eyes widened, she was almost suffocating from being choked, and she kept trying to pry open those large, veiny hands.
"Little Peach, do you even have a heart...?"
His cold, dark eyes, filled with intense desire, were fixed on hers, and he spoke the last words close to her lips.
Tao Tao struggled desperately, trying to draw in even the faintest bit of air, but she couldn't escape his grasp.
Until his sharp teeth bit through her delicate, luscious lips, drawing bright red blood, and her tongue tasted the rusty flavor of her blood, the stinging pain causing her to burst into tears.
Seeing her pitiful appearance with tears streaming down her face, he suddenly felt a strange sense of pleasure.
She couldn't help but open her mouth and cry out in pain as a warm, slippery tongue forcefully invaded her inner walls, plundering all her sounds and breaths.
The choking neck and the mouth blocked by lips and tongue made her feel suffocated and on the verge of death.
Just as she was going to lose all her strength and even the last breath of air, he embraced her slender waist, released her lips which he had ravaged and swollen, and withdrew his hand from her neck.
The girl's pale cheeks were flushed with an unnatural red, tears streamed down her face, and soft moans escaped her lips.
His pitiful, trembling fear did not elicit his pity; instead, it stirred up his deep-seated sadistic urges.
He said coldly, "My pity for you doesn't mean I won't take what I deserve."
Then, with a sweeping motion, he knocked everything off the table to the floor, making a loud crashing sound.
Tao Tao looked up at him in shock, feeling a strange unease and fear in her heart.
“Master…Master…Duan Gan…Duan Gan, I can explain, that’s not what I meant…”
Her voice trembled as she spoke, and she looked terrified. She turned to run away, but forgot that her waist was being held tightly, and she couldn't break free no matter what she did, like a leech clinging to her.
He pressed himself tightly against her from behind, trapping her in his arms.
Then, with a forceful pull, he instantly placed her in front of the desk and reached out to loosen the sash around her waist.
Her clothes were open, revealing her fair and delicate collarbone and thin shoulders. There was a wound bandaged below her right shoulder, with red spots of blood seeping through the white gauze.
"Be good, and it won't hurt so much."
Whether from fear or anger, she trembled, and *slap!* As the sweet fragrance wafted towards him, a crisp slap landed directly on his fair face, instantly leaving a red mark.
You can imagine how much force she used.
Duan Gan turned his head to the side after being hit, and after a moment of silence, he turned back to look at her seriously.
"Feeling better now? Don't worry, I can make you feel even better!"
He sneered, his burning and aggressive gaze slowly moving down from her eyebrows and eyes. He reached into her disheveled clothes, and the icy touch instantly made her freeze.
"Don't do this to me... Master... Waaah... Duan... Duan Gan..."
Her broken voice made her sentences incoherent and her tone off, carrying a weak, sobbing quality.
The girl sitting on the rosewood table was almost half-naked. Her bodice was swaying precariously, and her outer garment was half-draped over her shoulders, revealing most of her snow-white shoulders. Her embroidered shoes were barely caught by her toes.
The man covering her was dressed in disheveled, loose clothes, revealing his slender collarbone with thin skin, giving him a rather frivolous and dissolute appearance.
He opened his mouth and bit down hard on her fair and delicate neck, causing her to gasp for breath in pain.
Soon, a bloody tooth mark appeared on her skin, in the exact same spot where she had bitten his neck earlier.
