Chapter 71 071 A Frenzied Scene in the Pool...
Xie Huaiyuan stared at her mysteriously for a long time, then chuckled softly: "Are you in such a hurry to leave?"
His eyes were very dark, especially since he was facing away from the candlelight in the room, making it even harder to see his face and his expression ambiguous.
Lin Wan cursed inwardly, truly regretting not coming earlier. She had run into him on his return, and she was thrown in, landing hard on the cold floor, just like her heart at that moment. By the dim candlelight, she saw that her palms were scraped, the wounds on her palms slightly red, and it really hurt!
She gasped for breath, looked up to meet Xie Huaiyuan's gaze, and said, word by word, "Why did you lie to me!"
Xie Huaiyuan lowered his eyelids slightly, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, and urged her to continue.
"What kind of herbal soup did you give me those past few days?"
Xie Huaiyuan: "The contraceptive medicine you requested."
After she finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment. Lin Wan smiled disdainfully, "Then what was it that the Princess specially ordered someone to brew for me to drink today? Since it's also a contraceptive medicine, how come it's completely different from what you gave me, Prince?"
Hearing the questions, Xie Huaiyuan instantly understood why his mother had come today. He gripped Lin Wan's chin with his hand at his side, forcing her to look only at him, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "So what if it is, so what if it isn't? I have always intended to stay with you. Since you know what I mean, does the contraceptive medicine matter?"
The thing Lin Wan least wanted to happen actually came true.
Her voice trembled as she asked, "But you promised me..."
It would have been better if this hadn't been brought up, because the mere mention of it ignited a nameless anger within Xie Huaiyuan. He glanced at her sideways and said, "Isn't marriage and having children a perfectly normal thing? Why are you so resistant to it? Or is it that..."
Lin Wan's chin trembled in his fingertips, held tightly, unable to move, and faint red marks could be seen inside.
His gaze sharpened as he stared directly at Lin Wan: "You're still lying to me. What you said before was just to appease me."
The tenderness in Lin Wan's eyes had vanished, replaced by hatred: "I promised to stay by your side, but I never said I would marry and have children for you!"
"Is there a difference between the two?" Xie Huaiyuan's fingertips slid down, easily pinching her delicate neck.
Lin Wan found herself powerless to resist. The hand on her neck could strangle her at any moment, like someone drowning in an endless abyss. She was forced to look up at him. His eyes, dark and unfathomable in the dim candlelight, were full of coldness as he mocked her as she gradually became breathless and gasped for air.
Fear crept into her heart, gradually seeping into her eyes.
"Are you scared?" Xie Huaiyuan whispered. "But Wanwan, have you ever thought about what will happen to me after you leave? Or have you never thought about it at all?"
A crimson glint suddenly appeared in his eyes, his jet-black pupils staring intently at Lin Wan. The pressure on his hand didn't lessen in the slightest, the probing in his eyes was obvious, and a cold, bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of his lips.
Lin Wan instinctively struggled to move away, her breathing becoming increasingly shallow, and she said in a hoarse voice, "No, it's not..."
"We'll tie your hands and feet so you can't leave even for a moment, then you'll never be able to leave!"
Xie Huaiyuan moved closer and closer to her. Suddenly, a strong, pungent smell of blood wafted over her. She subconsciously looked at the hem of his clothes, which reeked of blood. A large patch of dark, blood-red color came into view, and she stared in shock.
"I just went to the prison to deal with some tricky matters. I was looking forward to coming back to see you, so I haven't had time to shower and change yet."
The restraints around Lin Wan's neck suddenly came loose, and she was finally able to catch her breath. She collapsed weakly onto the cold ground, panting heavily, without even lifting her eyes to look at him, just hoping he would leave quickly.
I'm really tired.
I don't want to see him again.
If he hadn't suddenly returned, she probably would have already left by now.
Xie Huaiyuan released her neck, the delicate touch still lingering on his fingertips. He looked up and saw the guard who had been stripped of his outer clothing and was lying unconscious against the wall, with shards of vases scattered on the ground.
So that's why she was wearing ill-fitting guard uniforms. Xie Huaiyuan chuckled coldly again at Lin Wan's appearance. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Wan with an icy gaze.
Before Lin Wan could catch her breath, he pulled her up again, and this time, she fell straight into Xie Huaiyuan's arms.
"Wanwan, after the fire last time, I specially ordered people to build a wonderful bathhouse. You haven't seen it yet. There's no time like the present, so I'll take you to see it today."
The corridor was filled with a cool, watery wind at night, and the guards who used to stand watch along the corridor had been removed at some point.
Lin Wan couldn't figure out what had suddenly gotten into him. Her face was deathly pale as she let him pull her into his arms and walk towards another part of the corridor.
The area where the fire started and the water flowed has been completely rebuilt and transformed into a huge open-air bath. It is surrounded by pine and bamboo trees and inlaid with countless flower bushes whose names I don't know. Now, it is truly beautiful with its blooming flowers.
The outermost edge was surrounded by a fence, blocking prying eyes. Inside, a square bathtub had already been prepared. A few flower petals floated on the surface of the water, adding to the ambiguous and enchanting atmosphere.
Xie Huaiyuan: "Take off those cumbersome guard uniforms you're wearing."
Upon hearing this, the maids who were standing by quickly stepped forward. Before Lin Wan could even react, her clothes were removed, leaving her only in a plain white undergarment, the outline of her undergarment vaguely visible.
When Lin Wan looked around again, she and Xie Huaiyuan were the only ones left. The other maids and servants had already left and closed the gate of the bath.
The night wind blew through the fence, bringing a chill. Lin Wan had to reach up and hug her arms. She saw Xie Huaiyuan stepping into the bath, the water splashing and overflowing, gradually wetting the spot where Lin Wan was standing.
The heat lingered, and the nameless fire made Xie Huaiyuan grit his teeth: "Come here!"
Lin Wan glanced at the tightly closed gate and realized that she couldn't get out.
Helpless, she slowly walked over and went into the water, leaning against the side far away from him.
"What are you trying to be coy about!"
The steaming water released a cool, pine-scented aroma. Lin Wan was powerless to resist and was pulled by Xie Huai, who pinned her against the edge of the bathtub.
The surging, splashing water overflowed and wetted the dry floor next to it.
Just a few days ago she was so tender and affectionate, but now she's acting all distant and unapproachable.
Xie Huaiyuan leaned closer and whispered like a devil, "Don't worry, if you don't want the medicine I gave you, I won't give you any medicine in the future."
Are you satisfied now?
Lin Wan's tightly clenched inner garment was forcefully pulled by Xie Huaiyuan, and the wet garment was thrown aside, just like her, utterly powerless to resist.
She felt an indescribable fear in her heart. Her body was burning hot, and she couldn't tell whether it was the heat from the pool or the heat from Xie Huaiyuan pressing down on her.
His disordered anger ripped through his reason, and Xie Huaiyuan bit down hard, determined to tear off Lin Wan's infuriatingly red lips.
Lin Wan was forced back and pressed tightly against the edge of the bathtub, squeezed from both the front and back, with no way to escape.
She felt her chin being pinched, and when she looked directly at Xie Huaiyuan, her brows concealing a sinister look, she could vaguely see the intense ferocity deep within, as if an invisible hand was landing on her body, wandering over her.
Even though she didn't want to admit it, her body had become unusually sensitive because of the person in front of her, but she couldn't show it. She subtly placed her hand between them, pulling them apart slightly, her eyes trembling with fear: "Your Highness, no..."
The cold light in Xie Huaiyuan's eyes gradually turned into a scorching flame that could burn a person. He suddenly lifted her body, which was moving further and further away, and trapped her in the hot pool.
"Instead of giving you a chance to escape, we'd rather trap you here and now!"
It was hard to tell whether it was water from the bath or sweat that soaked his loose hair. Xie Huaiyuan groaned and thrust without hesitation.
If Lin Wan hadn't deceived him and tried to escape again and again, he wouldn't have been so angry. Since she said she liked him and had followed him for so long, Xie Huaiyuan had already tacitly agreed to choose her as his wife.
Even though it was so rushed last time, he was still preparing to give her a grand wedding banquet.
But now... the only thing that could come to his mind was the idea of bumping into her and then taking advantage of his absence to pretend to be a guard and escape.
Anger filled my heart with nowhere to be released; I wanted to tear her apart, crush her, and swallow her whole.
Xie Huaiyuan's assertiveness was not to be ignored.
He understood that the man beneath him was the root cause of his madness and his descent into depravity.
But he had no intention of giving up. With heavy breathing, he lifted the weak and listless Lin Wan and leaned her against the edge of the bathtub, then began to pound away.
The water gurgled and surged, its calm surface rippling, splashing up countless droplets with every movement.
Xie Huaiyuan felt his anger rise and fall in this wonderful pleasure, every bit of displeasure was extinguished by the spring water, gradually subsiding, and then an endless desire surged up.
In the quiet, dark night, only the sounds of two people making each other blush could be heard in the bath. The splashing water was muffled and interspersed with the continuous splashing sounds. A cool breeze blew by, making it hard to tell if it was sweat on the two of them. Lin Wan felt cold and whimpered as she shrank back to the only source of warmth on her body.
As a result, this slight movement caused her jungle door to dodge, preventing Xie Huaiyuan from successfully reaching the innermost part.
"Don't move! Lift it up."
Lin Wan's eyelids twitched slightly. He lifted her weak and tired legs, and with a slight upward movement of her body, he rammed into her without any mercy.
The tightly closed door was slammed open and pushed open, and without saying a word, the person walked straight into the innermost part of the room.
