Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zhuang Nainai instantly felt her guilt creeping up on her.
The press spoke of the wedding, so he could just stage a kidnap to vent his anger like it was a game? And give her a tattoo without her permission?
“But, a tattoo is a permanent thing! It can’t be washed off!” Zhuang Nainai was close to tears. This tattoo was going to follow her for life!
There should be a limit to his revenge on her!
“I know.” Si Zhengting’s voice suddenly lowered. “Zhuang Nainai, you came into my life and then left so abruptly five years ago. I will be the one controlling you this time around.”
Five years ago…
He dared to bring up what happened five years ago?
A new wave of grief and hurt welled up in Zhuang Nainai. She bit down on her lips, closed her eyes, and finally spoke after a moment. “So what do you want now?”
He refused to let her go, yet he did not want to marry her. Was he going to keep her close as an exclusive slave?
The man did not speak. Their eyes were locked and Zhuang Nainai stared him down.
She was not an easy woman, she would never follow him around without the rightful name of his wife.
But his gaze was too penetrating. She averted her gaze and was defeated in the staredown.
Si Zhengting looked at her and closed his eyes to a slit. He stepped towards her and said, “Zhuang Nainai, don’t even think of running away. Believe it or not, I will always be able to find you, no matter where you hide.”
Believe it or not?
She did not before, but she had just been captured after staying at the train station for one hour.
She had a new perspective on Si Zhengting’s capabilities.
She believed it.
Zhuang Nainai clenched her fists and let out a breath. “I know this was my fault, I-I can announce to the press that the wedding is a sham. I know you don’t want to marry me, we can cancel our arranged marriage…”
Cancel the arranged marriage?
An icy glint flashed in Si Zhengting’s eyes, his voice was low and menacing. “You might have forgotten, who was the one begging me to marry her over the past three days?”
Zhuang Nainai looked up at him at once, puzzled.
It seemed like he was unhappy now that she mentioned canceling the arranged marriage?
Why was he unhappy?
Unless… he was agreeing to the wedding?
Zhuang Nainai opened her mouth but dared not utter a word.
It appeared that, since their reunion, he was always upset whenever the topic of marriage was brought up.
Still hesitating on whether she should clarify with him, she heard him order, “Escort her out.”
He then left in big strides without a pause.
Thud!
The door was closed. Zhuang Nainai stared at his towering figure and then down again at her new tattoo. She drove her fist angrily into the cold surgery table.
Si Zhengting, you jerk!
Zhuang Nainai rearranged herself and jumped off the surgery table. She pushed open the door and headed out.
She was in the rural part of Beijing City, in one of Si Zhengting’s mansions.
Parked outside the door was a luxurious car. Zhuang Nainai walked towards it and saw the two bodyguards who had blocked her way, as well as the burly man who had kidnapped her. The three of them waited respectfully in front of the car.
Zhuang Nainai was enraged at the sight of them.
d.a.m.n it!
Would it have killed them to say something along the way after the kidnap?
She was so frightened and hysterical.
They must still be laughing their heads off internally.
One of them spoke. “Ms. Gu, please get on the car, Mr. Si wants us to send you back safely.”
