The wrist under the gauze often hurts and itches, which makes me feel uncomfortable.
Lin Ruoxi knew that it was a sign that the wound was healing. But what about the wound in her heart, could it also heal?
Probably, never again.
Because there is no feeling there, no pain, no itching, only numbness.
On the leafy plane trees outside the window, two or three sparrows were jumping among the branches. As Lin Ruoxi watched, bursts of sadness and irony filled her heart.
That kind of freedom and vitality, she once had, but now it has been broken by a man. When will she be able to find her wings and return to the sky that belongs to her.
"Does your hand still hurt?" A strong masculine aura surrounded her. Tang Hongxuan sat on the bed and put his arms around the person who was lost in thought. He couldn't help but frown at the thin feeling of the person in his arms.
Lin Ruoxi froze instantly, her skin tense. She tried her best to suppress herself from shaking. She tilted her head and remained silent.
An inaudible sigh overflowed from the man's mouth, and his tall body moved inward, domineeringly but gently enclosing the man in his arms.
"The servants said that you only drank half a bowl of porridge at noon. Is that because you didn't like it?"
"I asked the kitchen to stew blood swallow for you. That stuff is good at replenishing blood."
"A new store has opened on West Street. The French cuisine is very authentic. If you want to try it, I'll ask the chef to come to my house."
"…………"
In the quiet afternoon, the man's deep voice kept ringing in the bedroom.
She didn't respond, and he wasn't annoyed either. He just patiently talked to himself.
Scenarios like this happen almost every day.
Except for the threats in the hospital that day, the man never treated her in any rude way. In fact, he showed unprecedented tenderness and tolerance.
But her fear was still there, and her hatred for him had not weakened at all.
Lin Ruoxi cooperated with the treatment, taking injections and medicine on time every day, eating and sleeping obediently. But she also fell completely silent.
She often stares blankly at one place in a daze, staying quietly for a whole day without saying a word.
Lin Ruoxi like this makes men feel a sense of loss with nowhere to focus.
She was obedient, but why was everything wrong?!
He once thought that he didn't care whether she was afraid of him or hated him. But now...he suddenly felt that this feeling was not good, not good at all. But it didn't matter, why was she unwilling to do so?
I wish I could only lean into my arms quietly and be his Tang Hongxuan's woman.
"Tang Hongxuan..." Suddenly a harsh and hoarse female voice interrupted the man's rambling words.
This was the first thing she said to him in these days.
Tang Hongxuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. But then, her next words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down on his head and face, extinguishing all his joy...
"When will you let me go?"
Tang Hongxuan pursed his lips. He was silent at first, then smiled coldly, and put his hand on her forehead, "You don't even have a fever, why are you talking nonsense all of a sudden?"
Lin Ruoxi turned her head and looked at him. There was still fear in the depths of her eyes, but there was also an unprecedented calmness. It seemed to be a kind of resignation and numbness after having gone through thousands of sails.
"You've treated me...I've been like this, what else do you want? Isn't it enough?"
The irritability that had been accumulated for several days came rushing back. Tang Hongxuan picked up a strand of black hair by her ear, twisted it at his fingertips, and blew gently, "I have the final say whether it is enough." In a cold tone,
It was already a sign of his anger.
"Ha..." Lin Ruoxi chuckled with tears in her eyes, with a sad expression, "One time is not enough? Two times? Three times? How many times is enough? Tell me so that I can be mentally prepared."
Her laughter hurt his heart.
Something flashed in the dark eyes, and the smile on Tang Hongxuan's lips became colder and colder, "Deputy Director Xiao Zhengguosheng's transfer order was withheld. Do you know why? It is said that his hands were not clean. When he was the director of the affiliated hospital, he took
I received a lot of kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies. Oh, by the way, I just helped your uncle change his job recently. Don’t worry, it’s not tiring and the pay is good.” After a pause, he changed to a nonchalant tone, “
Ruoxi, have I ever told you that I am not only a germophobe, but also possessive. Now that I, Tang Hongxuan, have been branded with me, you will be mine for life. Even if I get tired of it, you will still be there.
I belong to Tang Hongxuan!"
"Devil!" She trembled uncontrollably.
"Yes, I am the devil. From now on, you will be my slave girl!" He sneered, regained his gentleness, bit her ear and teased ambiguously, "I have done everything I have to do, everything.
You are my woman and you still want to leave? Huh?"
He gently put her down and smiled into those hateful eyes, "Be good, honey, don't think about all the things you have and don't have all the time. It's not good for your health, I'll feel bad." He leaned over her.
He pressed a kiss on his pale cheek and said, "I have to go to the company for business and will be back later. Remember to be good and don't make me angry again." After saying that, he straightened up, straightened his clothes, turned around and walked away.
The moment the door closed, she buried her face into the pillow and burst into tears, bursting into tears.
…………
Tang Hongxuan's mood was very irritable, not ordinary irritability.
There were piles of documents in front of him, but he sat in the office for a whole afternoon and didn't read a single word.
The intercom on the table rang, and he raised his hand and slapped the phone off the table.
But then, the phone in his pocket vibrated again.
Tang Hongxuan cursed lowly, frowned and pressed the call button.
"Master Hong." Aken's respectful voice sounded from the receiver.
"Um."
There was a slight pause over there, "People over there in the United States just got news, saying that Mr. Yi's place... is somewhat difficult."
Tang Hongxuan said nothing.
Aken continued: "No matter what, Master Yi just refuses to let go and says he must get together with you."
Tang Hongxuan snorted disdainfully, and then chuckled. His laughter made Aken on the other side of the receiver shiver all over and his heart trembled.
After laughing enough, the man sighed as if he was feeling something, "Everyone of them! It's popular these days to be shameless, isn't it?"
Aken was confused by his sudden and incomprehensible words, and Tang Hongxuan didn't seem to be ready to wait for him to answer.
"Tell them to just put it off like this for a year and a half."
"yes."
"Keep an eye on the fourth son of the Fang family, and report any trouble to me in a timely manner."
"Mr. Fang's younger brother? Fang Wenjiang?" There was a little doubt in Aken's voice, but he immediately said "Yes."
Tang Hongxuan frowned, tapped his index finger on the table, pondered for a moment, and then said: "You tell Lao Qi to go to the border and leave this afternoon! He understands what I mean."
"clear."
"Call Fang Wenyue again and tell him to wait for me until tonight!"
"That's it for now, don't bother me anymore!" After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly, took the car keys from the office, and left the office like a gust of wind.
