Chapter 102 Plea
How could such a proud and arrogant person kneel down?
pleading
Seeing that I was unwilling to move, Ye Fenglin simply took the initiative to pick up the "dog leash" and hung it on the silver ring.
He handed me the other end of the chain.
My lips moved slightly as I looked at him.
Ye Fenglin's skin wasn't like Xie Yong's; it wasn't an extremely pale, cold white, but rather a fair complexion that could only be achieved in a pampered environment. His skin was very thin, and faint bluish veins could even be seen on his neck.
A black leather choker, menacing and sinister tattoos, the air of a noble young master, and his serious expression at this moment…
I was stunned. I couldn't deny that the contradictory and complex feeling emanating from Ye Fenglin gave me a novel experience I had never felt before.
This is something that no other man, including Xie Yong, could ever give me.
"You want to say that too?" I was wearing a shirt and a knee-length skirt today, with my coat open, letting in the cold wind, which made me a little more awake. I tightened the zipper and pulled Ye Fenglin to my side. "You want to say... if I don't agree to you, are you prepared to pester me to death?"
Ye Fenglin chuckled softly, then turned his head and kissed my neck.
I flinched, instinctively wanting to dodge, but I remained rooted to the spot.
Ye Fenglin's actions were not coercive, nor were they meant to force me to accept.
I couldn't help but think of what Jiang Zhao and Xie Yong had said.
They were trying to get me to accept their "conditions," both overtly and covertly.
Otherwise, not only would I not be able to be with Yu Xu, but with their abilities, they could also make Yu Xu "disappear" from my sight immediately.
Can't I control other men?
I know I can't escape it, but things will never go according to their wishes and ideas.
As if sensing my hesitation, Ye Fenglin glanced at me and said in a clear voice, "Do you know the advantages of dogs? They are loyal, enthusiastic, and always obey their owner's requests. They will never refuse to do anything their owner asks them to do."
"..." I looked at Ye Fenglin. Perhaps in the eyes of these men, not explicitly refusing was the gentlest attitude I could show them.
Ye Fenglin raised his hand and suddenly picked me up. He continued to kiss my neck, which tickled me. I could only hold him helplessly. He seemed even more excited, trembling all over. Then he put me down and sucked on my lips.
"Xiao Fu, I won't let anyone hurt you, never, I swear to you." Ye Fenglin's voice was low, almost like he was talking to himself. "I will try my best to be on equal footing with them, until the day you can accept me..."
Ye Fenglin put me down only after the puppies returned from playing. The two puppies clearly didn't understand what had happened between us. They stood up at the same time and climbed onto my and Ye Fenglin's legs, wanting to play with us.
The Samoyed even barked several times, insisting that Ye Fenglin pick it up, just like he had picked me up earlier.
My face flushed slightly. The thought of our unrestrained kiss being seen by the two adorable puppies made me sullen, and I didn't want to talk to Ye Fenglin anymore.
He smiled at me, let the two puppies into the car first, and then returned to the driver's seat.
Ye Fenglin is the most stylish and well-dressed man I know. His hair is styled in a relaxed and casual manner, and he wears a loose shirt and a black coat. His already handsome appearance and the air of a pampered young nobleman are on full display.
He bent down and fastened my seatbelt for me.
"What do you want to do now?" I asked.
Ye Fenglin smiled and said, "I'll take you to buy a bag."
He looked at the road ahead, his hands expertly maneuvering the steering wheel. "For every hour you spend with me, I'll give you a Hermes bag. There are still ten hours left today. You need to think about how you want to spend them with me."
Ye Fenglin's way of pursuing people is very straightforward, just like his image as a young master: he dresses exquisitely, plays high-class games, and always looks dashing when giving gifts.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Ye Fenglin, full of confidence, led me straight to Hermès.
He was clearly a regular customer here. When the staff saw him, they all smiled and ushered us into the VIP reception room.
Ye Fenglin sat on the sofa. After a while, the shop assistant prepared black tea and cute little desserts and brought them up. As for the limited edition bags that required additional purchases to take home, Ye Fenglin didn't care at all what additional purchases I chose.
Just like he said, even if I don't use these bags, they're a good investment. A few years later, when the limited editions appreciate in value, I can resell them and all the money will be mine. This is much more reassuring than the checks Xie Yong's mother gave me.
"..." I turned my head and glanced at Ye Fenglin.
He was drinking black tea, and the shop assistant next to him was looking at me with envy.
"Young Master Ye is so generous, buying so many bags to give to you."
I smiled and was picking out accessories to go with the bag: jewelry, perfume, and a few pieces of clothing, including a scarf to match the bag.
Her gaze was so intense that I couldn't help but turn and look at her. The girl seemed to be hoping that one day a wealthy young man would spend lavishly on her and rescue her from this boring life of working for luxury goods.
If I could… I'd rather switch places with her. I'm not gloating over being surrounded by these men; I just want to make a small, albeit insignificant, fight for my future "relative freedom," so that if I ever can't take it anymore and have to run away again, I'll have a few more cards to play…
...
My night with Ye Fenglin was fairly pleasant.
Compared to other men, Ye Fenglin was a complete novice. He was big and pink, but also extremely strong. The first time, he was spitting out saliva in less than a few minutes. He almost entirely relied on me sitting on his lap to guide him before he could taste the sweetness and complete the first step.
The next day, I returned to my apartment and was greeted by Lu Qixi, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
I had been on edge the whole time, but after seeing her, I suddenly relaxed for some reason. Lu Qixi was no longer the carefree person she was when she was with me. She was wearing a Max Mara coat, over-the-knee boots, a turtleneck sweater, and a pencil skirt, looking capable and mature.
“Xiao Fu.” Lu Qixi opened her mouth, “There’s something I’ve been wanting to tell you, but… I can never find an opportunity to meet you alone.”
I subconsciously looked up and gazed at the window opposite the apartment.
I just got back to my apartment last night, and they've already come knocking on my door.
It was as if I had become prey under the claws of the other party, always under their control, never able to escape.
"What do you want to say, Qixi?" I tried to bite my lip to control myself, but my lips were numb, and they trembled as I spoke.
Looking at me, Lu Qixi raised her hand, and I subconsciously took a step back. I asked her, "Can you take me up there to have a look?"
She paused, then immediately understood where I was referring to.
“Okay, come with me.” Lu Qixi was silent for a moment before saying to me.
Before that, she probably made everyone living in the apartment leave. The moment I pushed open the door, even though I was mentally prepared, I still trembled at what I saw. The walls of the entire room were covered with photos of me that had been secretly taken.
Schools, art studios, supermarkets, bars, coffee shops... they know exactly when I get up at home and when I'm playing on my tablet on the sofa.
Not to mention the surveillance equipment and the cameras that are only pointed at me.
My breathing, my voice, even my heartbeat were trembling. The scene before my eyes was constantly changing speed and distorting, as if the camera lens was being distorted. I suppressed my nausea and felt my heart being violently pulled. I knew I was being controlled, but I never imagined it would be so pervasive.
"Xiao Fu!" Lu Qixi quickly came over to support me.
"And you, when did you come to be by my side?" I turned to look at her. "Was it when we first met in college?"
Lu Qixi's eyes widened. Her appearance was being pulled and distorted in my vision, almost turning her into a monster.
"Yes," she admitted.
Lu Qixi raised her hand and gently wiped away my tears. "Xiao Fu, I'm sorry. I need this job. The young master promised me that as long as I stay with you and make sure nothing happens to you, it's fine. I didn't know he would do so much at first. I thought he just liked you and couldn't live without you..."
"What are you panicking about? Now you know." I smiled, my eyes stinging terribly despite my best efforts to hold back. "Jiang Mingzhuo, did you get what I promised you?"
My fingers were trembling, and my voice was shaking violently.
Lu Qixi nodded silently. Even though I was trembling all over, I knew that Jiang Mingzhuo wouldn't let me see all of this. His purpose was...
I drove to the hospital.
The closer I got to the ward, the more fear and dread I felt. It was as if I had returned to a time long ago when he controlled me. I couldn't escape, I couldn't struggle, and I could only passively endure Jiang Mingzhuo's "love".
Jiang Mingzhuo has a habit of controlling my life; this is not the first time, nor will it be the last.
From the moment we first met, he never let me go. My first love, my kisses, my first sexual experience... all were built under his control and manipulation. Sometimes, I even suffer from my own clarity of mind. Why can't I just live a carefree, oblivious life?
I'll treat all of this as "love," ignore the suffocating pain, and just stay obediently by his side.
I have no doubt that Jiang Mingzhuo will create a beautiful and luxurious golden cage for me. He also has enough patience and ability to nurture me into a fragile, greenhouse-grown plant that can never leave him.
I stood in front of the ward door and pushed it open.
Jiang Mingzhuo was facing away from me. He was just like the first time I met him at the Jiang family manor. The sunlight outlined his entire body with a gentle charm, with handsome features, a high nose bridge, an elegant and noble temperament, and a faint smile on his lips.
"Xiao Fu".
Jiang Mingzhuo seemed to have already noticed my arrival. He turned around, smiled, and greeted me.
"...What exactly is your purpose?"
Jiang Mingzhuo didn't answer my breakdown. Instead, he walked up to me, cupped my face in his hands, and said, "You've been crying... Who bullied you, Xiao Fu?"
The gentler his tone, the more creepy it made me feel.
I couldn't hold back any longer and slapped him hard across the face.
A faint blush quickly rose to his handsome face.
"Let me go, stop bothering me!" I looked at him with resentment. "I've already agreed to make a deal with your brother. You'll never be able to get close to me again, Jiang Mingzhuo."
Jiang Mingzhuo observed me intently, his gaze fixed on me. He was considerably taller than me, and his condescending air carried his usual indifference.
“Is that so…” Jiang Mingzhuo drawled, then paused abruptly, “I thought Xiao Fu wanted so much freedom, but it turns out you can accept only relative freedom. In that case…”
I suddenly raised my hand and grabbed Jiang Mingzhuo by the neck.
He is very strong.
My hands almost flew out of my control, leaving finger marks on Jiang Mingzhuo's neck. He just smiled faintly and said, "You'd better kill me, Xiao Fu, or I'll haunt you for the rest of my life."
I suddenly let go of her hand.
I changed my approach and kissed Jiang Mingzhuo's lips directly on tiptoe. He naturally raised his hand and hugged me tightly, gently kissing my earlobe, and then taking it into his mouth. His nimble lips moved down my neck like feathers, yet were full of possessiveness.
He pressed me down onto the hospital bed, his hands tightly around me. We'd done it countless times, and we both knew exactly where it was easiest to get aroused. When Jiang Mingzhuo tried to turn me over, I suddenly smiled and asked him, "Do you feel this good when you watch me do it with them?"
Jiang Mingzhuo was stunned.
“I get pleasure with any man except you. Even if you spend your whole life spying on me and monitoring me, I will never be skilled in your way. I will never have your child. Do you understand, Jiang Mingzhuo?”
I raised my hand and gently brushed my long hair behind my ear. I tried to seduce him with an extremely seductive gesture, but I knew he wouldn't dare come closer.
“You’ve lost your memory, Xiao Fu. You don’t know how much we love each other.” Jiang Mingzhuo’s eyes narrowed elegantly with a smile. He was in pain, but he dared not admit it. He could go crazy, and he could control me, but he just couldn’t accept that I didn’t care about him at all and no longer loved him.
It is because I once liked him that I am disappointed and in pain.
It's also because he's the "official couple" assigned to me by the "game" that I can't help but fall for him every time.
He was very proud of it.
I always felt that he was different from other men.
"Those are your memories, not mine," I said calmly.
These words seemed to break the valve of Jiang Mingzhuo's composure. He suddenly leaned down, restrained me, lifted my chin with his fingers, and forced me to look at him. "I told you, you have amnesia. Once you remember, everything will be fine."
"Why should I think about it?" I smiled at him instead. "I don't care at all about what happened in the past, especially with you. Does it matter?"
Jiang Mingzhuo's smile vanished almost uncontrollably.
His fingers twitched, and an unprecedented hesitation appeared in his eyes.
“I came to see you today just to see if it’s really necessary for me to keep remembering you…” I looked at him, “Now it seems that you have no reason to exist in my memory at all, Jiang Mingzhuo. I will forget you very soon. After all, there are too many men around me, and you are the one I would least like.”
"Stop talking." The softer Jiang Mingzhuo's tone was, the more dangerous it seemed.
“I will forget you and never remember you again. If you want to continue observing me and staring at me... if that makes you feel good, I don’t mind.”
"I told you to stop talking!" Jiang Mingzhuo suddenly let go of her hand, his expression blank, only his eyes glowing crimson.
Like a victor, I slowly revealed a smile.
...
One week later.
The museum's exhibition opened as scheduled. People who were interested came in droves.
They paused before the enormous, graceful sculpture on the first floor, marveling at it. The sculpture was made of the finest marble, and every line was incredibly lifelike under the light. After careful polishing, the light seemed to penetrate the marble, creating a play of light and shadow throughout the sculpture.
Yu Xu was also very curious. He admired it for a while and saw the name of the creator, Jiang Fu, and smiled.
A few days ago, Yu Xu received an invitation from Jiang Fu. Inside the letter was the ticket to the art museum, and he seemed to understand something.
Yu Xu walked down the steps, looking at each painting on the wall, until he reached the center of the exhibition hall, where the lights were dazzling and the wall depicted a woman dancing in Gisele's dress, looking lively and beautiful, with her expression captured perfectly.
Although he didn't understand art, Yu Xu still felt that this painting was very similar to the one Jiang Fu had sent him. The colors were bright and gentle. He knew that paintings usually represented the creator's mood, and it was clear that Jiang Fu was in a good mood.
Yu Xu was so engrossed in looking at the paintings that he completely overlooked the fact that the people in the exhibition hall had quietly left sometime earlier.
Another man approached him, not far away, and suddenly stopped, standing shoulder to shoulder with him as they looked at the painting.
Yu Xu quietly turned his head and immediately saw the man's face.
His profile was flawless, his features incredibly handsome. Especially in this sunlight, he looked like a noble young master straight out of an oil painting, elegant and refined. When he looked over, his gaze naturally fell downwards, carrying an innate sense of pressure.
"Yu Xu?" the man asked, his face pale.
He glanced at him but did not deny it.
In fact, Yu Xu knew that this man might have some connection with Jiang Fu, but he didn't want Jiang Fu to suffer because of him. He mustered all the courage in his life and was about to look the man in the eye when the well-dressed man slowly knelt down in front of him.
"!" Yu Xu looked at him in disbelief. How could such a proud and arrogant person kneel down?
"Please, let me stay by Xiao Fu's side." Jiang Mingzhuo completely disregarded his dignity. The complex emotions he had been suppressing suddenly erupted at this moment. He raised his head and pleaded with the man in front of him, whom he had once looked down upon his entire life, "I swear, I will not hurt her. I just want to stay by her side, but she doesn't want me anymore. If you agree, I can give you everything I have."
Jiang Mingzhuo pressed his knees against the floor and lowered his head. "If you're with her and it weren't for me, sooner or later, my brother and the others would definitely kill you."
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly chuckled, his voice somewhat sinister, "But I can protect you. You can get married and have children. I will treat your children as mine. As long as you let me stay, I will definitely not let my brother and the others take Xiao Fu away from you."
