Chapter 21: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - What Can You Trade Me for It?
Unable to put any weight on her legs, Gu Shanshan could only crawl on the ground with her hands, dragging her body along.
After finally crawling to Gong Ye's feet, he prostrated himself at Gong Ye's feet.
Gong Ye looked down at Gu Shanshan on the ground, his expression inscrutable.
Under the dim yellow light overhead, his face appeared even more somber and dark.
Throughout the entire process, he watched Gu Shanshan crawling on the ground as if she were a clown.
There was a hidden sense of satisfaction in my heart, a feeling of revenge.
See, this is what happens when you don't listen to him.
This is what happens when you like another man. He is retaliating against Gu Shanshan and punishing her.
He should be happy; seeing Gu Shanshan grovel at his feet, he had no reason not to feel excited.
It was also mixed with a bit of inexplicable anger.
And I feel sorry for him.
Heartache?
He actually felt sorry for a despicable woman who had betrayed him.
Gong Ye couldn't accept this thought in his heart, and even hated himself for having such an idea.
The culprit who gave him this idea was kneeling at his feet.
He saw Gu Shanshan slumped down in front of him.
Dragging her powerless, crippled legs, she looked up at him, tears streaming down her face.
His original desires subsided, and a violent rage arose in his heart.
He felt angry, and beyond that anger was an undisguised jealousy.
On what grounds?
Why is it that Jiang Ziheng, who has no money, power, wealth, or good looks, is inferior to this good-for-nothing, a vegetable?
How could someone receive such devoted treatment and rescue from Gu Shanshan?
And what about him?
He did everything he could, suppressing the savage beast within him, giving Gu Shanshan all his love and everything he had.
He spent money to appease Gu Shanshan's greedy family, providing her with the best life, hiring bodyguards to protect her safety, and preventing her from being disturbed by her family.
Give Gu Shanshan the best life, let him live like a prince in a palace, and give him whatever he wants.
If he wanted, he could pluck the stars from the sky for him.
But what was the result?
What did he get in return?
He was betrayed by Gu Shanshan, and she left with another man.
Ultimately, it's just that Gu Shanshan doesn't need it.
Gu Shanshan doesn't need him, so she doesn't need his humility or his love.
No matter how much he gave, no matter what he did.
Even if he hurts Gu Shanshan, it probably won't leave much of a mark on his heart.
The more Gong Ye thought about it, the colder his heart became.
Gu Shanshan had no idea what Gong Ye was thinking at that moment; he could only sense that the murderous aura emanating from Gong Ye was growing stronger.
He was a little scared.
He thought that Gong Ye was dissatisfied with him, and he was afraid that Gong Ye would be angry with him and turn his attention to Jiang Ziheng and his parents.
He could only reluctantly reach out, his hands, covered in bruises, resting on Gong Ye's belt.
Gong Ye lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with a chilling intent.
The hands that landed on his belt were trembling.
Ha, do you really hate touching him that much?
Even the slightest touch on his belt made them tremble with fear.
The chill in Gong Ye's heart grew deeper and deeper.
Gu Shanshan grew increasingly terrified. Even without looking up, she could feel the man's cold, chilling gaze upon her.
He was scared.
The more afraid I was, the more my hands trembled.
But he couldn't back down. He knew very well that if he didn't try to please Gong Ye, Gong Ye would take his revenge on the people he cared about.
Just as he mustered his courage and prepared to unbuckle Gong Ye's belt, a roar came from above.
"Enough!"
"Gu Shanshan, you truly disgust and repulsive to me!"
Gong Ye shouted angrily, then forcefully pushed Gu Shanshan away from him.
"ah......"
Gu Shanshan fell to the ground and instinctively screamed.
Soon, he heard Gong Ye's icy voice, like a venomous snake, coiling around him, making him feel cold all over.
"Gu Shanshan, are you that afraid of me? Are you that unwilling to serve me?"
Gu Shanshan couldn't refute the man's question.
He didn't even want to waste his breath refuting it.
No matter what comes out of his mouth, Gong Ye can twist it into another meaning.
Gong Ye was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
"Do you know how disgusting it is to look at you like this, half-dead!"
"You think that I, Gong Ye, can't live without you, do you?!"
Faced with Gong Ye's angry shout, Gu Shanshan said in despair, "Say whatever you want."
Damn it!
Gong Ye clenched his fists tightly at his sides.
Fearing that if he rushed up and picked up the tie from the ground, he might not be able to resist strangling Gu Shanshan to death, he cursed angrily and then turned and left the basement in a huff.
The man's footsteps faded into the distance until they could no longer be heard, at which point Gu Shanshan finally relaxed completely.
His body went limp, and he lay on his back on the ground, opening his eyes and staring blankly at the ceiling.
The dim yellow light overhead made him look dazed.
He didn't know how long he would have to stay in this dark and damp place, and he had no idea when Gong Ye would get tired of him.
That's why they let him go.
"well......"
Gu Shanshan sighed deeply, her eyes filled with sorrow.
He originally thought that the missions in this world would be very simple.
In retrospect, he was too naive.
He is currently imprisoned here by Gong Ye, while his target, Jiang Ziheng, lies in the hospital, his life hanging in the balance.
The two cannot meet, making progress in their relationship even more difficult.
[007, what should I do?] Gu Shanshan sighed.
【Host, you can try obeying him. Maybe he'll be in a good mood and let you out.】
007's subtle hint.
Do you think that if I submit to a psychopath like Gong Ye, who could cripple my legs without a word when he gets angry, I'll get a good outcome?
Gu Shanshan herself wouldn't believe it.
[Not necessarily. Perhaps by going with the flow, you, host, will get an unexpectedly good result.]
007 felt that he had already given a clear enough reminder.
If it says one more word, it will probably get a warning from the God System.
【well. 】
Gu Shanshan sighed deeply, unsure whether she had taken 007's words to heart or not.
......
Gu Shanshan thought that, given Gong Ye's ruthless and vicious ways of doing things, he would definitely come down and torment her whenever he had the chance.
However, this time, he guessed wrong.
Ever since that day when Gong Ye inexplicably pushed him away and went crazy and left, countless days and nights have passed, and Gong Ye has never come to look for him again.
So much time passed that Gu Shanshan, in the dimly lit basement, lost track of how much time had gone by.
That day, after Gu Shanshan finished her meal, when the maid came in to clear the dishes, Gu Shanshan couldn't help but ask a question.
"Hello, may I ask what you are doing right now, Gong Ye?"
However, the person clearing the dishes acted as if they hadn't heard anything and silently continued clearing the dishes.
After finishing tidying up, he bowed to Gu Shanshan as usual, then respectfully withdrew and locked the door.
Hearing the lock click shut, Gu Shanshan forced a self-deprecating smile.
He thought to himself, what's the point of locking him up? Anyway, he's crippled now, he can't run away even if he wanted to.
Is it possible to climb out of here?
Don't be ridiculous, he probably wouldn't even have taken two steps before Gong Ye cut off his legs.
Helpless, Gu Shanshan slumped in the corner, staring blankly at the ceiling.
The longer he stayed there, the more anxious he became.
Not knowing what's happening outside, not knowing how Jiang Ziheng is doing, is a torment for him.
It is also a kind of inner torment.
Crack...
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the sound of a key turning in the door.
Gu Shanshan didn't pay any attention, assuming it was just the delivery person returning, and didn't even give him a glance.
However, after the door opened, no one came in; there was only endless silence outside.
An eeriness that was excessively quiet.
Gu Shanshan sensed something was wrong, turned her head to look, and met the eyes of the man standing at the door.
It was Miyako.
Gu Shanshan stared wide-eyed in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Upon meeting Gong Ye's cold gaze, he quickly lowered his head and looked away.
That brief glance deeply moved him.
Gong Ye seemed even colder than before.
Like a drawn weapon, it exudes a chilling, bone-scraping aura.
His eyes and brows were filled with a gloomy and malevolent aura.
Standing there, it was even more difficult to look directly at him; being stared at by such a cold gaze made one want to run away.
Gu Shanshan lowered her eyes, not daring to look into Gong Ye's eyes.
He nervously and silently clenched his fingers.
This is his reaction when he is afraid or nervous.
He didn't know what Gong Ye wanted to do to him this time, after not seeing him for so long.
He couldn't figure it out, nor did he dare to guess.
Gong Ye's cold gaze fell on Gu Shanshan, making her feel increasingly uneasy.
After he had seen enough, Gong Ye slowly spoke.
"Gu Shanshan, do you want to see Jiang Ziheng?"
"think!"
Gu Shanshan subconsciously voiced her inner thoughts.
After I finished responding, I felt the gazes falling on me grow even colder.
Gong Ye's gaze was like ice shards, chilling Gu Shanshan to the bone.
But the words had already been spoken, and there was no going back.
He really wanted to know about Jiang Ziheng's condition.
I've been trapped here for so long, and the system has never warned me.
That means the target is still alive, but we don't know their exact condition.
Gong Ye's eyes were fixed on Gu Shanshan's face, so he could see all the expressions on her face.
With a blank expression, he said, "So, Gu Shanshan, if you want to see Jiang Ziheng, think carefully about what you're going to offer in exchange. A pair of eyes, or a hand? Choose."
