Seeing her hope, which was within reach, shatter, the light in Li Ruo's eyes dimmed completely, and she collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected.
She was so close to leaving.
But the ropes binding her hands were like Wen Huaiyan's restraints, making it impossible for her to resist.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo's face turned even paler, and she subconsciously clutched her chest, feeling a wave of suffocation wash over her.
But Wen Huaiyan had no intention of letting her off so easily. He slowly stood up, walked leisurely to her, grabbed her chin, and said in a playful tone, "I told you, you can't escape!"
Before Li Ruo could even speak, he sealed her red lips with his own.
Unlike before, this time his movements were noticeably gentler, yet there was still a hint of predation in them.
Actually, he didn't know what was wrong with him. Just now, when he saw this woman crying so miserably, he couldn't bring himself to do it for a moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let her escape his control!
But ironically, he didn't want to let her go...
Thinking of this, he irritably ripped open Li Ruo's clothes and suddenly leaned down.
"ah!"
The powerful impact almost overwhelmed Li Ruo, causing tears to instantly stream down her face.
Upon seeing this, Wen Huaiyan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stopped what he was doing.
I hate you!
The next moment, the woman's weak voice slowly rang out.
His eyes suddenly turned cold, and his rationality vanished in an instant.
At this moment, passively enduring his actions, Li Ruo seemed to know that she could not escape, so she stopped resisting and slowly closed her eyes.
Noticing her unusual behavior, Wen Huaiyan paused his rough movements, lowered his head, and kissed the woman's lips heavily.
During this time, Li Ruo even forgot that she had fainted several times because she couldn't resist his teasing.
When she woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the bed, causing her to groggily open her eyes.
By this time, the people around him had already left, leaving only traces of their past joy.
Looking at the sunlight outside the window, for a moment, Li Ruo seemed not to realize her situation.
But the aches and pains all over her body, along with the bright red marks all over her body, instantly brought her back to reality.
If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred to take the Li family and Wen Changfeng down with her after her rebirth rather than provoke this man.
Now, she probably won't be able to escape before the other party gets tired of her.
While she was lost in thought, the housekeeper came in to clean the room as usual.
But when she saw the mess on the ground and Li Ruo's disheveled appearance, her heart skipped a beat.
She immediately walked over to Li Ruo, her eyes full of heartache, and whispered, "Miss Li, just listen to what the master said and don't make him angry anymore, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers."
As she spoke, she sighed and gently tidied Li Ruo's messy hair.
After all, in her memory, Li Ruo had always been a glamorous and beautiful person, and she had never seen her looking so haggard.
But thinking about what Wen Huaiyan had done to her these past few days, Li Ruo couldn't help but snort coldly: "Impossible!"
She did nothing wrong; she just wanted her freedom back!
The one who should apologize is that despicable man.
Seeing that Li Ruo was still sulking, the housekeeper's expression became increasingly helpless.
She pursed her lips and earnestly advised, "Miss Li, although I don't know what exactly happened between you two, I can see that Mr. Wen still cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry for someone he has no connection with." You know Mr. Wen's temper; the more you resist him, the colder and angrier he becomes. We're both women, and I have more experience than you, so I want to give you some advice: men also need to be coaxed.
Regardless of right or wrong, Wen Huaiyan is now convinced that it is Li Ruo's fault, and she cannot resist it.
Rather than continuing to suffer, it would be better to swallow your pride and compromise, and then clarify things once you've reconciled.
As she listened silently to her words, Li Ruo seemed to be awakened, and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
A moment later, she suddenly raised her head, a hint of regret on her face: "Auntie, you're right. I shouldn't continue like this. I should do something to make him happy."
After all, continuing this stalemate with Wen Huaiyan is not a solution; she will only suffer losses in the end.
Rather than staying and being tormented by that man, I should find another way to escape!
Her aunt's words reminded her that perhaps she could pretend to compromise.
She took advantage of the moment when Wen Huaiyan lowered his guard against her to leave.
However, the housekeeper really thought that Li Ruo had come to her senses because of her words, and she was overjoyed.
“That’s great, Miss Li. You’ve finally stopped being stubborn. It’s wonderful that you think this way. As long as you’re willing to take the first step, I believe Mr. Wen will soon calm down and you two can reconcile.”
To make up?
Upon hearing these four words, Li Ruo couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
It's unlikely they'll reconcile; they can easily pull off feigned affection.
