To truly and permanently change his bad habit of easily turning to the dark side, she needed to give him enough security. She needed to have a heart-to-heart talk with him and face the current predicament together.
Chi Xia stood up, climbed onto Han Junche's lap, then sat down and wrapped her legs around his waist.
Although the chains on her hands and feet weren't thick, they were still somewhat inconvenient. Chi Xia didn't mind, hooking her arms around his neck and looking at him intently. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Yi's cough came from outside: "Cough cough! Boss, sister-in-law, are you done yet?"
Hearing this, Chi Xia blushed and gave Han Junche a reproachful look: "It's all your fault, Lin Yi must have imagined something again."
Han Junche didn't reply, glanced at her, and then said to the outside, "What is it?"
"It's nothing," Lin Yi said with a smile from outside. "Mr. Jia just sent someone to invite you over, saying he has something to discuss with you."
"Okay, I'll get down right away." Han Junche lifted Chi Xia off his body, then stood up and untied the chains binding his feet and hands.
Chi Xia was delighted to see his actions, thinking that Han Junche had come to his senses and was going to let her go. However, he simply re-fastened the chains to the foot of the bed and then looked at her and said, "I'll be back in a bit. You're not allowed to run away and wait for me here. If you dare to run away, I'll cripple your powers and break your legs. I mean what I say."
Hearing his words, Chi Xia was almost driven mad with anger.
She could understand and sympathize with his feelings. He imprisoned her, but she didn't hold it against him. She only thought about comforting him and giving him a sense of security, and wanted to face these difficulties with him. But what about him?
They showed her no consideration, distrusted her, and even threatened and intimidated her.
That's really great!
Chi Xia's face turned cold, and her heart grew cold as well. She glanced at Han Junche with disappointment, then lay down, turned over so her back was to him, and closed her eyes.
Looking at her, Han Junche felt a dull ache in his heart. He opened his mouth as if to comfort and coax her, but in the end he only said softly, "I'll be back soon."
Then he turned around and went out the door.
Chi Xia heard the door close and heard him outside instructing Lin Yi to bring her some food later. She also heard Lin Yi imagine a scene where she was too exhausted to get out of bed. She jokingly said to Han Junche, "Boss, take it easy. The book says you shouldn't go too far the first time."
Chi Xia also heard Han Junche's tacit "hmm".
In the past, she would have blushed and cursed him in her heart as 'shameless,' but she was not in the mood for that at all. She was a little confused and didn't know what to do.
No normal person would willingly be chained up and kept like a pet.
She's not a superwoman, nor does she have the heart of one. She has no desire to save the world, nor does she want to expand her power and influence. Otherwise, given her perpetual status as the world's number one, she could have expanded her team long ago.
She was just an ordinary woman, and one who was already preparing for retirement and entering old age. She was actually quite laid-back and only wanted to be with Han Junche, to be sweet and loving, and to be his virtuous wife or strong helper.
Once he has fulfilled his destiny of saving the world from the apocalypse, she can settle down with him, have two children, and have a group of close friends. That would be enough for her in this life.
But today, she suddenly felt tired.
A mere iron chain cannot restrain her at all; what truly binds her is the person she cares about, Han Junche.
