Chapter 3 The Humiliation Three Years Ago
Luo Tingwei's expression froze. With her mouth?
"Little princess, think about it carefully, how do puppies eat?"
Luo Tingwei closed her eyes in despair, already understanding his intention.
It turns out that what he wanted to do was humiliate her.
Just like how she humiliated him back then.
She admitted that at that moment all she wanted was relief; the pain had left her with no strength left to hold onto her principles.
So, Luo Tingwei leaned closer and silently lowered her head.
The warm, slippery touch felt like an electric current running through his palm.
Li Yanzhou stroked her head with his other hand, as if praising a small pet.
"Good girl."
There was a glass of water on the bedside table.
She needs to take the pills with water.
Luo Tingwei glanced at him uneasily, a chill running down her spine. He wouldn't want her to be unable to even drink water...
Li Yanzhou followed her gaze, smiled lightly, and already saw through her worries.
He still had to offer a little something sweet.
So he took the water glass and said, "Here, let me feed you."
"Do I need to drink like a puppy?" She glanced at him timidly and asked cautiously.
"You can do it if you want," the man said playfully.
Hearing this, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he didn't go too far.
Seeing that she had taken her medicine, he glanced down at her pale face and suddenly asked, "Don't you think I'm very kind?"
She was startled, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Kind?
Her father was framed by an undercover agent he sent, and fell into his hands by mistake. His fate is still unknown. All the men in the manor died at his hands. Even she was kidnapped and brought here by him, where she was subjected to his humiliation. He actually called all of this kindness.
She suddenly couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Li Yanzhou glanced at her disheveled appearance, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were brewing some bigger conspiracy.
The next second, before she could answer, he had already grabbed her chin and said, word by word,
"You know what, little princess, I've always been curious about what it feels like to fight a bloody battle."
"Tell me, should I give it a try?"
His tone was low and flippant, carrying a dangerous warning.
Luo Tingwei immediately stopped smiling; her long eyelashes trembled slightly, showing that she was frightened.
She bit her lip, avoiding his gaze.
Based on her understanding of him, she knew he was entirely capable of doing such a thing.
He's a madman.
"What, are you scared? Weren't you just sneering? Why did you stop?"
"Please don't go crazy, I'm begging you."
She couldn't take it anymore and blurted it out.
However, the next second, her hair was suddenly pulled up, causing her face to contort in pain.
A sarcastic voice rang in her ear, "Even in this state, your little mouth is still so sharp?"
"Do you think your dad has lived too long, or do you think I'm a chivalrous person who pities women?"
Her eyes welled up with tears from the pain, and she managed to utter two trembling words.
"Master Zhou..."
"pain……"
The man eased his grip slightly, allowing her to catch her breath. She touched her head in pain.
"Waaah, I was wrong, I was wrong, Master Zhou, please don't be angry."
"Take it all out on me, please spare my dad, please... sob sob..."
The girl's pleading voice echoed in his ears one after another.
A surge of triumphant joy welled up within him.
However, Li Yanzhou didn't say anything more, but got up and walked towards the door.
Luo Tingwei didn't understand what he meant, and anxiously called out to him from behind, "Master Zhou...where are you going?"
Is he planning to harm her father?
When Li Yanzhou reached the door, he paused slightly and turned his head halfway around.
"If you're not in pain anymore, get up and get to work. Before I took you, you were just a maid here. Don't even think about slacking off."
"Luo Tingwei, remember this well: your father's life is in your hands."
Li Yanzhou is gone.
Luo Tingwei remained on the bed.
Two lines of tears involuntarily flowed down her cheeks again.
About an hour later, her stomach pain subsided.
The housekeeper from the villa came over. "My surname is Wu. You can just call me Aunt Wu."
"The young master instructed before he left that you need to mop the entire floor of the villa before evening, otherwise you won't get dinner tonight."
Soon, a basin of water was thrown in front of her, with a piece of cloth floating in it.
This villa was larger than she had imagined.
He was clearly trying to make things difficult for her.
But... she couldn't resist.
With no other option, she had to slowly and shakily get out of bed and struggle to get off.
She bent over, kneeling on the ground, wiping with great effort.
The surrounding area was filled with the sounds of other maids pointing and whispering.
"It's clear that the young master really dislikes her."
"I heard her father is the young master's mortal enemy, no wonder he treats her like this."
"Tsk, looks like she's in for a rough time in the coming days..."
Luo Tingwei wiped numbly, and the memories in her mind gradually formed a fragment.
Three years ago.
A private international arms deal meeting on the Swiss border.
That was the first time she met Li Yanzhou.
She attended on behalf of her busy father, exuding arrogance and pride in every gesture.
At that time, Li Yanzhou was just a rising star in the arms industry.
At the welcome reception before the meeting began, she was drinking alone by the fireplace when the man walked towards her.
"Nice to meet you, beautiful Luo."
"You know me?"
She swirled the wine glass in her hand, glanced at him lazily, but showed no intention of standing up.
"In this setting, who wouldn't recognize Luo Shengtian's daughter?"
The man's lips curled slightly, his captivating peach blossom eyes half-closed, his demeanor as relaxed and carefree as a leopard taking a nap.
Luo Tingwei was unconsciously slightly taken aback.
Then he chuckled softly, "So, you're approaching me to chat, or to discuss business?"
Li Yanzhou took a sip of his drink, his voice low and chuckled, "What kind of person do you think I am?"
Luo Tingwei said half-jokingly, "The former?"
The man put down his wine glass, his smile deepening, and slowly said, "Alright, then let's just talk about romance, not business."
However, the next second, the purplish-red liquid was poured unceremoniously onto his suit.
"Talking about romance?"
Luo Tingwei's sarcastic laughter filled his ears, her words neither too loud nor too soft, "You think you're worthy?"
How dare this marginalized figure, whose name she barely even heard of, brazenly show up in front of her and make a scene?
Who gave him the courage?
She had no recollection of what happened afterward, and she couldn't even clearly remember Li Yanzhou's reaction.
The only thing she could recall was that before he left, he leaned down and spoke in a low voice close to her ear, each word spoken slowly and clearly, which sent a chill down her spine for no reason.
"Little princess, this is not Black City."
"You'll pay the price for being willful here."
