Chapter 41: My Mark
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Zhengting stood there with his sleeves folded, showing a length of his tanned arms. His fingers were lanky and elegant looking.
Even though she was bound and lay spread in front of him, she did not feel violated. On the contrary, it felt as if it was a fortune to be looked at by him.
This man only gets more and more attractive!
Zhuang Nainai let her imagination run wild for a moment and quickly snapped out of it. Her body suddenly shook violently, and her heart thumped hard against her chest.
After numerous attempts at testing his limit, she finally did it. Was he about to take his revenge on her?
Now that he had kidnapped her into this wilderness, was he going to kill her to vent his anger?
Zhuang Nainai swallowed hard and racked her brain to come up with a plan for her mercy plea.
Just then, Si Zhengting turned and walked towards the exit. His towering figure was awe-inducing.
Zhuang Nainai was momentarily stunned and sat up abruptly. He was leaving! Was he… forgiving her?
She performed a mental rewind of what he said moments earlier. It appeared that she could escape unscathed this time around too?
No! That’s not right!
Zhuang Nainai suddenly thought of something and sat upright. She lifted her s.h.i.+rt and surprisingly discovered, at the part of her waist where she had felt the sharp pain, an eagle tattoo.
The magnificent eagle was vivid and lifelike. Its cold, sharp gaze was so penetrating that it looked as if it would burst into life.
The masculine tattoo was wild and domineering. The eagle’s lifted head suggested that the entire world was at its feet.
A letter “T” stood out symbolically from the eagle’s body.
“T” for “Ting”?
With the immediate danger gone, Zhuang Nainai felt her courage return. She stared at the tattoo, dazed, and thought about her kidnapping. She had screamed her head and n.o.body had told her that she was in safe hands.
Zhuang Nainai surveyed her surroundings. The male bodyguards had left the room, and only a few ladies were left to help out. They c.o.c.ked their head and watched her with derision.
She remembered the last words she spouted and instantly felt a wave of embarra.s.sment wash over her.
Ahhhh!
This could not get any worse!
Her extreme embarra.s.sment and rage emboldened her. She shouted for Si Zhengting to stop walking out of the room.
He stopped in his tracks and turned.
The yellow hue from the lights doused him in a light gold radiance which made him look even more imposing and mysterious.
His cool gaze instilled a fear in Zhuang Nainai. Her exploding rage was stuck in her throat, and she did not dare to let loose.
She pointed to her waist and questioned, “Wh-what is this?” Her voice was laced with fear and anxiety.
His voice was clear and cool. “My mark.”
His mark?
She was a human, not his personal belonging. Why a mark?
The feeling of insult and humiliation invaded her entire body. Zhuang Nainai felt a lump in her throat and her eyes reddened. She clenched her fists.
Did he know what she had gone through during these few hours of the kidnapping? How worried and terrified she had been?
But she recalled that she had done him wrong first and her fists unclenched. She battled with herself internally and finally asked again, “What do you mean?”
He raised his brows. “I heard we are getting married?”
