"Let him go back, Young Master Mu, I beg you." Her voice was choked with sobs, almost desperate.
"The show hasn't even started yet, and you're already sending him back?" Mu Ruoyan's lips curled into a mocking sneer, her teasing gaze shifting back and forth between the two.
"What... what play?" Lin Xihe had already guessed that Mu Ruoyan had ill intentions, but she still held onto a sliver of hope, refusing to believe that he would have such a perverse sense of humor.
"It seems I mean absolutely nothing to you. I tried so hard, yet you've completely forgotten?"
Mu Ruoyan bent down slightly, staring into Lin Xihe's eyes, then slowly shifted her gaze to Gu Qinghuai: "Since there's no good show to watch, there's no point in keeping his eyes. Don't you think so?"
Lin Xihe's eyes widened suddenly, her pupils contracting sharply. She knew that given Mu Ruoyan's hatred for Gu Qinghuai, he was absolutely capable of gouging out Gu Qinghuai's eyes.
Gu Qinghuai has already suffered too much; how could Lin Xihe let him suffer any more?
Even if Mu Ruoyan were to trample her dignity underfoot at this moment, she could only silently endure it and do as she was told.
Lin Xihe bit her lower lip tightly, her pearly teeth almost digging into her tender lips. She tried her best to ignore the sound of the chains making as Gu Qinghuai struggled behind her.
The sound struck her heart again and again, like a heavy hammer, but she forcibly suppressed it.
Lin Xihe slowly stood up.
Looking at her expression, Mu Ruoyan knew that she had given in.
He leaned back comfortably, his hands casually propped on the bed, a triumphant smile on his face, his eyes full of unbridled arrogance.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xihe had only one thought in her mind: to save Gu Qinghuai. She straddled Mu Ruoyan's lap, wrapped her arms around Mu Ruoyan's neck, and offered a kiss.
In an instant, the sound of the iron chain hitting the chair behind him became more and more violent, one after another.
Lin Xihe kept her eyes tightly shut. She couldn't bear to imagine the devastation and despair Gu Qinghuai must have felt when he witnessed this scene.
At this moment, all she could do was try her best to please Mu Ruoyan.
Mu Ruoyan enjoyed Lin Xihe's initiative with pleasure. He slowly raised his hand and peeled off Lin Xihe's outer garment.
The light gauze slipped off.
Mu Ruoyan glanced sideways at Gu Qinghuai, who was on the verge of collapse, and the smile in her eyes grew even stronger.
However, the moment his gaze fell upon Lin Xihe's fair shoulder, for some reason, he paused. Then, he reached out and pulled down the bed curtains, suddenly flipping over and pinning Lin Xihe beneath him.
"Are you wrong?" Mu Ruoyan's voice was low and hoarse as he gently bit Lin Xihe's ear, like a lover's whisper, yet it carried a hint of coldness.
Lin Xihe nodded hurriedly.
"Will you let other men touch you again?" Mu Ruoyan's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.
"No, never again." Lin Xihe replied, her voice trembling, full of obedience.
Meanwhile, the sound of chains outside grew increasingly louder, as if trying to tear the silent night apart.
Lin Xihe was trying her best to control her emotions, but the tears of grievance still uncontrollably slid down from the corners of her eyes, one after another, leaving a trail of sadness.
Looking at Lin Xihe like this, Mu Ruoyan closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, then turned over and lay down on one side, pulling Lin Xihe into his arms and letting her lean on his shoulder. He then stretched out his other hand and gently rocked the bed frame.
At this moment, Lin Xihe's grievances finally broke down completely, and she could no longer hold back. She began to sob softly, and the suppressed crying echoed in the enclosed space, making people's hearts ache.
The thick bed curtains completely covered everything inside, with only the curtains swaying in the breeze.
Gu Qinghuai's struggle came to an abrupt end at this moment.
That night, all three were shrouded in despair, unable to find a glimmer of light.
