Chapter 343: You are repeating the mistakes of your father
|i^_!~;
...terrible words kept echoing in my ears.
Her face turned as pale as snow in an instant. As if she had been stung by something, she suddenly retreated to the corner of the bed, shrank her legs, wrapped herself in a quilt, and looked at him with a pair of big eyes in fear.
Murong Lie's heart was stung by the fear-filled eyes. The corners of his lips also stiffened slightly.
But the expression on his face was still cold and cruel. He only glanced at her with a pair of dark eyes. Then he leaned back casually on the luxurious baroque chair and turned an emerald ring carelessly on his hand.
Ning Tong'er originally didn't want to see him. The fingerprints on her neck where he pinched her were still clearly visible. They were red, swollen and painful.
But inadvertently, her resentful eyes fell on the jade ring spinning between his slender fingers. She was stunned for a moment.
Murong Lie raised his eyes at this moment, with a teasing smile on his deep side face.
"Why. Looks familiar, doesn't it?"
Of course it looks familiar.
Because it is her father's.
Ning Tong'er's breath froze in her throat. The blood boiling in her chest was roaring and boiling again. Even her forehead was filled with hot blood.
She suddenly grabbed the bath towel and wrapped it around her naked body. She jumped out of bed and rushed to him.
"Why is this here with you?"
Murong Lie laughed jokingly: "I just asked someone to bring it over. Why, you like it."
Ning Tong'er suddenly felt a breath in her chest. She stared at him speechless.
He asked knowingly.
"You. What did you do to my daddy?"
Murong Lie played with this crystal and gorgeous jade ring casually. Well, it was indeed beautiful and round. It is said that Ning Ruhai, an old guy, spent tens of millions to get it from a wealthy businessman.
However, he has no interest.
What he was interested in from beginning to end was the person in front of him.
He used to love her, then he hated her. Now he only admits that he likes her body.
So just indulge yourself and enjoy this body to the fullest.
It's just that before that, he still has some thorns to pull out. Otherwise, with his mysophobia, he will not be able to sleep.
"That old guy can eat and sleep. He won't die for a while." The man mockingly showed her a malicious smile. So what if she was full of anger. He raised the ring in his hand. "But... if you dare There will be a next time. What I have someone take off his hand and give to me is not just a ring, but the old man’s finger. Next time, maybe it will be the arm. And next time..."
Ning Tong'er's face was as white as paper.
Her anger was completely extinguished. She knew that he could definitely do it.
"You promised me you wouldn't kill him." She said weakly.
"I won't kill him for the time being." Murong Lie looked at her coldly and said, "You promised me, Tong'er."
He suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed the bath towel she was wrapped in. He pulled the towel away with a strong tug, revealing her perfect white body. "Tell me, will you still run away?"
Ning Tong'er wanted to reach out to protect her delicate chest exposed in the air. However, his cold gaze made her hands feel stiff.
What is indifferent. What is careless.
You would be a fool to believe this man's superficial appearance.
He simply holds a grudge in his heart more than anyone else.
"Also, tell me, which men have you slept with? Tell them their names." The man held the jade ring in one hand and pinched her snow-white chin with the other. His eyes were turbulent, and his voice contained endless danger. ..I seemed to be indifferent just now, but now I really expressed my motives.
Ning Tong'er felt a sudden pain and was speechless.
However, his jaw was pinched by him, and he was forced to raise his face to meet that terrifying gaze. So close, he could clearly see the deep and dark eyes, and there were clusters of red light dancing in them.
A precursor to rage.
Ning Tong'er knew that if it was no longer the time to show off, the ring in the man's hand would be smashed to pieces at any time. Just like his father's life was in his hand and could be crushed to pieces at any time.
And now she was standing in front of him with nothing on, accepting his terrifying gaze that could destroy people. Yes, she had had many intimate behaviors with him. But standing like this with no cover. In front of him, she received his cold and furious gaze. She clearly felt that every inch of skin on her body seemed to be frozen. The delicate and white skin on her chest also had goosebumps.
It's terrible.
This man.
"Say." Murong Lie ordered forcefully again. His tone showed that he was completely impatient. He only restrained himself from picking her up and suffocating her until she fainted.
Ning Tong'er lowered her eyes. Her bright eyes turned into a compromising sadness.
"There is no man." She endured the stinging pain in her jaw and the chill in her body. She forced herself to say it in the most indifferent tone. "I lied to you."
She did deliberately provoke him. But perhaps this act of resistance and anger would bring disaster to her father and others. She had no choice but to lower her head and admit that she was lying to him.
The struggle was over. But there was nothing she could do.
No matter how hard he pretended to be indifferent in his lowered eyes, there were still crystal tears gathering unconsciously and unable to control them.
I bit my lip very hard to prevent them from falling and bursting the bank.
The man once again raised her little face and looked at the tears in her eyes. This time his expression became a little doubtful.
Suddenly he smiled.
"Very good. But I'm not worried."
He looked at her evilly and coldly: "Only when you become inseparable from me can I trust you."
**
In the study, Murong Lie sat behind the desk, holding a cigar between his slender fingers and puffing away smoke. The expression on his face became psychedelic and unpredictable in the rising white smoke.
There was a knock on the door. Murong Lie didn't even look at it. He blew out a puff of smoke and said calmly: "Come in."
The family doctor walked into the study and saluted him respectfully: "Master."
Murong Lie finally raised his eyes and looked at him: "Didn't you call me Earl a long time ago? Why did you call me Young Master again?"
The family doctor hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, don't you want to ask me about Miss Tong'er's current condition?"
Murong Lie frowned, took a long puff of cigar, and then puffed it out.
But even so, he didn't say a word.
The family doctor looked at his face carefully. However, Murong Lie's expression made it difficult to read the content.
He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Miss Tong'er's condition is very bad. She is exhausted physically and mentally. It can be said that she has reached the extreme... Lord Earl, if you can show some sympathy to her..."
Murong Lie suddenly flicked the ash from his cigar into the crystal ashtray. The family doctor knew that he was also struggling in his heart.
"Lord Earl, don't push her anymore. She can't bear it anymore..." The doctor looked at him. "Actually, you know that if you continue, she will be destroyed by your hatred sooner or later."
Murong Lie finally raised his head and sneered: "If she can't bear it, then she can only bear it. Isn't this what she should bear?"
The doctor sighed: "Lord Earl, I still remember when you and Miss Tong'er returned to the castle to see the Earl for the first time. How happy you were at that time. Miss Tong'er seemed to have brought joy to the silent and cold castle. The sunshine..."
Murong Lie took two puffs of his cigar and then looked at him fiercely. The doctor quickly lowered his head.
"You remember when she came to the castle with me. Then do you remember Ruosang? She also came with me. But now. Where is she? Did she sink to the bottom of the sea and be eaten by fish? Or did she? Forgotten in a certain corner of the world. I have no idea at all. I don’t even know whether she is alive or dead or her whereabouts.”
Murong Lie took a deep breath and continued: "Do you know what I can't forgive the most? Until the moment Ruosang and I parted, she firmly believed in Ning Tong'er. In such an environment... ...Do you know what happened? She was almost raped, right in front of me. And I couldn't protect her. Not only couldn't I protect her, but I was the one who got her into trouble. But even in that situation, she still believed in Ning Tong Son...she and I still believed in her at that time. I'm sorry Ruosang...it was me who harmed her..."
As he spoke, he finally held his forehead and closed his eyes, unable to continue talking.
The doctor stood there in silence for a long time.
After a long time, he suddenly said something that Murong Lie didn't expect.
He said: "My Lord Earl, do you know why I just called you Master instead of calling you Lord Earl?"
Murong Lie held his head and slowly put down his hands and looked at him.
Obviously. He doesn't know.
"Master, you know, you...are becoming more and more like your father, Earl Edson." The doctor said quietly. There was a very calm and stable look on his handsome and gentle face, which made people relax involuntarily. Come down and listen to him. "And I don't want to see this happen. I hope you are yourself, young master."
Murong Lie looked at him doubtfully. Apparently he still didn't understand what he was talking about.
"You are becoming more and more like your Lord Edson. You don't even notice it yourself, do you? But it is clearly visible in our eyes. Because I was so close to your father. Even once. The person who knows him best. I can clearly see that the thing I least wanted to see happened... Young Master, you are becoming more and more like your father."
"Yes. Just like the steward. I also admire and admire your father. I feel that there is no one in the world who can compare with him. But. I still don't want you to make the same mistakes as him."
