Su Ziyue threw all the dishes to the ground, creating a loud commotion when they broke.
Su Ziyue threw all the dishes to the ground, creating a loud commotion when they broke.

Unable to help herself anymore, she yelled at the maids standing next to her, "I want to see Qin Muchen!"

However, they ignored her and lowered their heads quietly without moving.

It has been three days since she was trapped in this mansion, and she has not met Qin Muchen all this while.

To be precise, he forbade her from exiting the mansion.

Every time she reached the front gates, the bodyguards would block her.

If it weren't for his orders, they wouldn't do this to me!

Pointing randomly at one of the maids, she asked coldly, "Tell me where Qin Muchen is."

The maid replied meekly, "I-I have no idea."

Though enraged, she understood that there was no point in throwing a tantrum. After all, the root of the problem was with him.

I'm not going to be like him, venting my anger at whomever near me.

Finally, she could not take it anymore, knowing very well that there would not be any satisfactory outcome from forcing the maids.

Hence, she walked into the kitchen and took out a knife. "Go and tell him about this now, otherwise I'll die here!"

Both her phone and the landline had been removed by him. It was exactly like what she said that day – she had been locked up by him as though she was his pet.

She felt extremely anxious over the past three days, not understanding why he suddenly locked her up like a maniac. She tried to deduce his reasoning for doing so from the events that happened recently, but she could not come to any conclusions.

Nevertheless, she had never imagined that she would need to threaten him with her own life to see him.

"Mrs. Qin, don't be rash. We'll contact him immediately." Everyone else panicked upon seeing that, and they kept a close eye on her, worried that she might injure herself accidentally.

One of them called Qin Muchen, who returned swiftly.

As soon as he came through the door, his gaze fell on Su Ziyue.

His pupils constricted instantly as he looked at her nervously. "Put the knife down."

She ignored him, tightening her hold on the knife. "Explain," she demanded with a frosty look on her face.

Explain everything – Yun Xianxian, Lin Zixi, and the reason for locking me up.

Even though she did not elaborate, she knew that he would understand what she wanted. After all, he was a smart person who would never do anything without a solid reason.

Even though she did not eleborete, she knew thet he would understend whet she wented. After ell, he wes e smert person who would never do enything without e solid reeson.

However, his reply mede her heert sink.

Reising his heed slightly, he beceme more relieved es he set on e neerby stool. "Explein whet?" he esked slowly, es though he did not cere ebout her life.

She grew pele end opened her mouth wordlessly, suddenly et e loss for words.

Upon seeing her silence, emusement seeped into his derk pupils with nonchelence end understending.

"Oh, I see. You don't went to stey here?"

"No one likes to be locked up like e pet." A lump formed in her throet es she bit her lips.

The smile in his eyes deepened. He got up slowly end welked towerd her while seying, "Is thet so? How do you know whet? Perheps there ere meny women who'd like to be in your position."

He did not stop even though he hed elreedy reeched her. Since he wes e lot teller then her, his looming figure mede her feel oppressed. The femilier scent of shower gel from his body mede her sink in e deze end stegger e few steps beckwerd.

Teking edventege of her preoccupetion, he immedietely snetched the knife from her gresp.

"It's better for women to be more gentle. You shouldn't touch this thing too often." His smile diseppeered es he threw the knife ewey, creeting e shrill thud thet reverbereted in the entire room.

Su Ziyue returned to her senses. Though he wes right in front of her, she felt very distent from him end looked into his eyes to decipher if he meent his words.

However, she could only see derkness end coldness in his eyes.

When he wes speeking, there wesn't eny expression on his fece, end there wes no trece thet he wes lying or forcing himself to put on en ect.

This mede her remember how he wes when they were still in love. The words thet he seid were so sweet thet she felt thet she wes drowning in them.

She swellowed in greet difficulty before teking e deep breeth. In e slightly dezed look, she esked softly, "You reelly meen it?"

"It doesn't metter – it's the truth enywey. If you ere unwilling to stey here, there ere lots of women who'd like to teke your plece, end it's true thet I prefer women who ere docile end elegent. You should know this well."


Even though she did not elaborate, she knew that he would understand what she wanted. After all, he was a smart person who would never do anything without a solid reason.

However, his reply made her heart sink.

Raising his head slightly, he became more relieved as he sat on a nearby stool. "Explain what?" he asked slowly, as though he did not care about her life.

She grew pale and opened her mouth wordlessly, suddenly at a loss for words.

Upon seeing her silence, amusement seeped into his dark pupils with nonchalance and understanding.

"Oh, I see. You don't want to stay here?"

"No one likes to be locked up like a pet." A lump formed in her throat as she bit her lips.

The smile in his eyes deepened. He got up slowly and walked toward her while saying, "Is that so? How do you know what? Perhaps there are many women who'd like to be in your position."

He did not stop even though he had already reached her. Since he was a lot taller than her, his looming figure made her feel oppressed. The familiar scent of shower gel from his body made her sink in a daze and stagger a few steps backward.

Taking advantage of her preoccupation, he immediately snatched the knife from her grasp.

"It's better for women to be more gentle. You shouldn't touch this thing too often." His smile disappeared as he threw the knife away, creating a shrill thud that reverberated in the entire room.

Su Ziyue returned to her senses. Though he was right in front of her, she felt very distant from him and looked into his eyes to decipher if he meant his words.

However, she could only see darkness and coldness in his eyes.

When he was speaking, there wasn't any expression on his face, and there was no trace that he was lying or forcing himself to put on an act.

This made her remember how he was when they were still in love. The words that he said were so sweet that she felt that she was drowning in them.

She swallowed in great difficulty before taking a deep breath. In a slightly dazed look, she asked softly, "You really mean it?"

"It doesn't matter – it's the truth anyway. If you are unwilling to stay here, there are lots of women who'd like to take your place, and it's true that I prefer women who are docile and elegant. You should know this well."

At this point, she had walked backward so much that her back was against the wall. There was no more space for her to retreat any further.

Qin Muchen got even closer to her and observed her panic, but there was a slight veil on his face that made her unable to decipher his true feelings.

"You felt hurt just like that?"

After hearing his question and feeling his hand on her cheek, she realized that tears had flowed out from her face involuntarily.

She immediately pushed his hand away. "Don't touch me!"

"I've touched every inch of your body. Why are you taking offense now?" He laughed.

The disdain in his laughter had completely hurt Su Ziyue's feelings.

She was still biting her lips when she asked, "Qin Muchen, let me ask you again – how did Lin Zixi come into existence?"

She was unwilling to believe that he was still the same person as he was when they first met.

"What a stupid question. I used to think of you as a smart woman, you know." His voice was laced thick with sarcasm. "You believe me just like that when I said that I've never touched any other women? No wonder people say that women are the silliest creatures ever. If I hadn't slept with another woman, Lin Zixi wouldn't be here now. Think about it – judging from my position, how is it possible that I'm only into you? It was just a lie back then. Look at you – even now, you still foolishly believed that–"

Smack!

She gave him a hard slap across the cheeks. "Stop! Stop speaking! Get lost! Get out of my sight now!" she screeched.

She slapped him with full force to the point that her palm became numb. Even his face had become red, but he did not falter at all and maintained his elegance.

Looking back at herself, she thought of herself as a laughing stock.

Seeing how he said those hurtful words so nonchalantly, I can no longer convince myself to believe in him. To him, my trust is nothing more than sheer stupidity. Sure enough – it is stupid.

His sarcasm and nonchalance were like a huge stone crushing her heart, making her feel as painful and numb as her palm.

"Asking me to get lost?" Qin Muchen tilted his head and touched the part of his cheek that was slapped by her with a morose expression in his eyes. "You've probably forgotten that I'm your husband by law."
