He glanced at the cold meal beside the bed and walked over to sit down beside it. "Are you planning on going on a hunger strike with me again?"
She didn't move or say a word.
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and his expression darkened. "I didn't settle the score with you today, but you're still throwing a tantrum?"
She still didn't speak.
The sinister look in his eyes could no longer be suppressed, so he immediately lifted her quilt and pulled her out.
"Wanwan, my patience is limited."
She was forced to open her eyes, and there was death in them.
He pinched her chin: "What did you promise me in Qingzhou? You will stay in Yanjing and not go anywhere. What did you do after that?"
His eyes were grim. "You still dare to threaten me? I think I've been too good to you. I've spoiled you and made you lose your temper."
"You forced me to come back."
From the day she left Yanjing, she never thought of looking back.
After being caught by him, she originally thought that she could get away from everything in the past by starting her own business and opening a medicine shop, but in the end, it was just a case of covering one's ears and stealing the bell. She had to endure the schemes of the third wife, the provocations of Jiang Xuejun, and the rumors everywhere.
The eldest lady came to her house and taught her to be a well-behaved concubine.
She was shocked to realize that as long as she stayed in Yanjing for one day, she would be destined to bow her head and consider herself inferior.
Why can't she just give it a try?
He pinched her wrist, his fingers tightening, and a murderous look surged in his eyes.
"I forced you? You wanted to open a pharmacy, become a doctor, and keep my distance from you. I didn't do anything you said. I let you do whatever you want, but who do you think I am? I'll show you what will happen to you if I really force you!"
His big hands suddenly tore open her waist belt and pressed her down on the couch.
"Ah!" Wanruo fell into the quilt. He leaned over and pressed on her, tearing her underwear with a "ripping" sound.
"Xie Xianyu, you lunatic! You will get your retribution sooner or later!" She cursed him at the top of her lungs.
"Retribution? I've already suffered retribution!"
His only retribution in this life is her. He can't catch her, can't keep her, and no matter how much energy and thought he puts into her, it's all in vain. She is just a heartless thing!
He pinched her wrist and pressed her to the bed. She struggled under him, and the chains on her feet jingled.
He pushed her legs apart, wishing he could vent his anger on her right away.
But suddenly the person under him was frightened and trembling all over, his eyes were as red as a rabbit, and were full of fear.
His movements froze, and his hard heart softened a little.
He took a deep breath and held her in his arms. Her body was still shaking uncontrollably, and her porcelain-white face was already covered with tears, which soaked through his clothes and stung his heart.
It hurt more than the time she had stabbed him in the daytime.
He closed his eyes and hugged her. She didn't dare to resist and he didn't speak again. The two of them fell into an eerie calm for a rare time.
Around midnight, she was probably exhausted and tired from crying, so she fell into a deep sleep.
He lowered his eyes to look at her wet little face, with a few tears still stained on her eyelashes. He silently wiped her tears with his fingertips.
The next day, Wanruo was awakened by the sound of a horn.
This was the return horn sound. Xie Xianyu had already gotten up and dressed neatly, and Qing'an was reporting the return arrangements to him.
"Now that we are returning to the capital, will you go back to your residence or to the palace?"
"Let's go back home first."
Qing'an paused, then asked cautiously, "What about my cousin?"
"Take it back to Songhe Garden."
Wanruo's whole body stiffened and her face turned pale instantly.
