Chapter 208 Do You Think You Can Get Me This Way?
The afternoon sun filtered through the gaps in the heavy curtains, casting a narrow strip of light and shadow on the floor.
Shu En was curled up at the head of the bed wrapped in a quilt. His exposed shoulders and neck were covered with red marks of varying depths, which were particularly glaring on his skin.
The aching pain coming from deep inside her body made her feel dirty and ashamed.
She lowered her head and stared at the white sheets, her long hair falling to cover her cheeks, and her slightly trembling shoulders revealed her devastated emotions.
The curtains were drawn open, and the crisp "click" sound of a lighter was heard. Qin Yuan stood in front of the window with his back to her, his tall figure outlined tightly by the sunlight.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, white smoke curling up, but the smell of smoke couldn't cover the lingering smell in the room...
Shu En bit her lower lip until she tasted a hint of blood before she raised her head. Her voice was as hoarse as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper: "Qin Yuan, you are a wild dog in heat!"
Qin Yuan replied with one word: "Yeah."
"Do you think you can get me like this? I tell you, in this life, I only love Qin Zhuoyi! If you do this, it will only make me hate you more!"
The scarlet flame of the cigarette butt flickered for a moment.
Qin Yuan still didn't look back, and uttered three words lightly: "Hate it if you want."
His tone was so calm that it made Shu En's anger burn even more fiercely. He wanted to say something else, but tears welled up in his eyes first.
She turned her face away, not wanting him to see her embarrassment.
Hearing the sound, Qin Yuan put out his cigarette and threw it into the ashtray.
He walked to the bed, still smelling of tobacco, and looked down at her.
"Why are you crying? It's not like you haven't slept before."
Shu En wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and looked at him coldly: "Beast!"
Qin Yuan sat down on the edge of the bed, stroking the kiss mark on her neck with his fingertips: "Well, I am a beast."
Shu En turned his head away and didn't look at him: "Don't touch me, get out of here!"
"Shu En, be obedient." Qin Yuan pinched her chin and forced her to turn her gaze back. His voice was low and strong.
"Remember, it doesn't matter whether you love me or hate me. In this life, you can only be my, Qin Yuan's, woman, and you can only stay by my side obediently."
As he said this, he stood up and bent down to hug her.
Shu En pushed him away: "Get out! Don't touch me!"
Qin Yuan: "I'll carry you to take a bath."
"You don't need to hold me."
Before Qin Yuan could answer, the phone on the bedside table rang.
He picked up the phone and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"What? Say it again!" His voice suddenly rose. "The person is missing? Still can't be found? How can you not find him? If anything happens to Yi Yi, I'll be the first one to chop you up!"
"Brother Yuan... I've already looked for her... Miss Yi Yi is in Lin Zhi's hands now..."
Qin Yuan frowned.
He has protected his precious daughter very well since she was born.
Because of the special nature of his business, he always sends a special car to pick up and drop off Yi Yi whenever she goes out, and bodyguards to escort her, so his whereabouts are particularly cautious and secretive.
He even informed the school she attended, but never disclosed her information...
How did Lin Zhi find it?
"What happened to Yiyi?" Shu En heard it and became nervous: "What happened?"
Qin Yuan ignored her and spoke to his men on the phone.
"What is Lin Zhi's purpose?"
"He said that if he wanted Miss Yi Yi to be safe, he would exchange her for Shu Lun."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Yuan turned and walked out.
Shu En grabbed his arm and raised his voice: "What happened?"
"Yi Yi was kidnapped by Lin Zhi."
"What?"
Qin Yuan was very anxious and gave her a comforting look: "Don't worry, I will bring our daughter back safely."
…
In the evening, a black jeep sped along the steep road.
Qin Yuan sat in the passenger seat and urged Shunzi, his subordinate in the driver's seat, again: "Drive faster!"
Shunzi: "Brother Yuan, this is already the fastest..."
"Are you sure everything is settled with Lin Zhi?"
"It's settled."
Qin Yuan tapped his knees nervously with his fingertips, his gaze falling coldly through the rearview mirror on Shu Lun, who was tied up in the back row.
At this moment, he was pale, breathing frequently, twisting unwillingly, and had no idea what was happening.
Shunzi glanced at Shulun through the rearview mirror, his Adam's apple moving. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yuan...are you sure you want to trade this old man for Miss Yiyi?"
He paused and lowered his voice: "If Miss Shuen knew about this, she would definitely make trouble with you!"
Qin Yuan withdrew his gaze from the rearview mirror: "Whether she makes a fuss or not, I have to change it. Yi Yi's safety is the most important, nothing else."
Shu Lun in the back seat understood and struggled to raise his head. "Qin Yuan, no matter what, I'm still your future father-in-law! You'd better let me go now! I'm Xiao En's father, her only relative. You're treating me like this, it's treasonous!"
Qin Yuan seemed not to hear and didn't even bother to lift his eyelids.
Seeing this, Shu Lun became even more anxious.
He knew what would happen if he fell into Lin Zhi's hands again, and he would not stop until he tortured him to death.
His tone softened a bit, and he reorganized his words: "Qin Yuan, if you let me go, I can help you persuade Xiao En. She listens to me the most! If I ask her to marry you, she won't dare to say no!"
"Shut up." Qin Yuan said lazily: "I'm annoyed."
"Qin Yuan." Shu Lun said anxiously, "I really can't let anything happen to me. My daughter will be worried!"
Qin Yuan slowly turned his head, his eyes like knives fell on Shu Lun's bruised face, and he sneered and mocked him.
"Your daughter? Shulun, ask yourself, when have you ever treated her like your own daughter?"
"I watched her being bullied by Jinglan since she was little, and then I sent her to boarding school since elementary school. When she grew up, I used her commercial value to arrange a marriage. I kept her by my side simply because I had no children and wanted someone to take care of her in her old age, or maybe to establish myself as a perfect father in the eyes of the outside world."
"How dare you say you treat her like your daughter? She's the only one foolish enough to be fooled by you! Shu Lun, if I didn't want to make Shu En happy, do you think I would be willing to take the risk to save you? I've been wishing Lin Zhi would kill you!"
Shu Lun's face turned pale and green at the touch of his tongue, but he remained stubborn, "Nonsense! I'm Xiao En's father, she knows whether I treat her well or not! If I treat her badly, will she still miss me and think of saving me?"
Qin Yuan lost his patience and spoke in a very low voice.
"If you don't shut up, I'll pull you out of the car and shoot you!"
