C10 Where Could the Treasure Escape?

Lin Yueyue's eyes widened in shock. Wasn't that...?

She scrambled out of bed in a panic, but just as she reached the edge, a man grabbed her wrist, pulling her arms above her head with a firm grip.

"Let go! You beast!" Yueyue struggled desperately.

Mo Lengxi, already irritated by her earlier antics, had returned only to find this audacious woman trying to escape right under his nose. This was a blatant challenge to his authority!

"If you don't want to hand over the child, isn't it because you want to become Mrs. Mo?" Lengxi sneered at her, his words sharp and cutting. "Now that I'm giving you what you want, why the act? Playing hard to get might work for a while, but you need to know your limits!"

At least for now, he was intrigued by her, wanting to savor her sweetness, but that didn't mean she could keep up this charade. His patience was running thin.

"Playing hard to get?" Yueyue laughed bitterly, wondering if she had misheard. "Hey, aren't you a bit full of yourself? I don't even know you... mmph..."

Before she could finish, Lengxi's eyes darkened, and he silenced her with a sudden, forceful kiss.

"You..." Yueyue was stunned, her chest heaving with anxiety, a blush spreading across her face. Her wide eyes glistened with unshed tears, making her all the more enticing.

A flicker of desire flashed through Lengxi's eyes. This woman... she was intoxicating!

"Get... off!" Yueyue finally managed to say, though her breathless voice lacked any real conviction, sounding more like a plea.

Lengxi chuckled softly. Still defiant, even now... how amusing.

The next moment, Lin Yueyue felt a chill as her clothes were torn away by Mo Lengxi.

“No...” Lin Yueyue struggled in fear, “Don’t... don’t touch me...”

“If you want me to stop, fine...” Mo Lengxi smirked, pausing his actions, “Where’s the child?”

Was he trying to force her to give up the child this way? Lin Yueyue felt nothing but shame.

“The child was gone five years ago!”

“Very well! Let’s see how long you can keep up this act!” Mo Lengxi sneered, leaning forward aggressively.

“Ah...” Lin Yueyue trembled slightly, “It... hurts...”

It hurt so much! Her body felt like it was being torn apart...

She was too tense, and Mo Lengxi took a sharp breath, sweat beading on his forehead. “Does it hurt? Tell me where the child is, and I might go easier on you...”

“I... don’t know...”

“Fine!” Mo Lengxi sneered again, driving forward with force...

Lin Yueyue was on the verge of passing out from the pain, yet the man above her was like a starved beast, finally released from its cage, determined to devour its prey completely!

As she drifted in and out of consciousness from the pain, she could always hear a low, demanding voice in her ear, “Where’s the child?”

It felt like endless torment, and Lin Yueyue’s mind seemed no longer her own.

When she opened her eyes again, she was alone in the room, a dim lamp casting a faint glow nearby. It wasn’t too bright to be uncomfortable, but just enough to see the room’s layout.

She lifted the blanket and got out of bed, wincing at the sharp pain below. Taking a careful breath, Lin Yueyue gingerly stood up. Her clothes were in tatters and unwearable, and there were no other clothes in the room. She opened the closet and randomly picked a shirt to put on.

Luckily, the shirt she wore reached just below her thighs, making her presentable enough. As she pushed open the door, the maid standing outside immediately greeted her respectfully, "Miss Lin, is there anything you need?"

Feeling a bit self-conscious, Lin Yueyue tugged at the hem of her shirt. "I want to see..." She paused, suddenly realizing she didn't even know the man's name.

The maid, understanding her hesitation, continued, "Would you like to see the gentleman?"

"Yes."

"Please follow me."

As she followed the maid, they passed several other staff members. Each one looked at her with surprise, as if she were some rare creature on display, which made Lin Yueyue frown slightly in discomfort.

"Sir," the maid gently knocked on the study door, "Miss Lin would like to see you."

"Let her in," a deep voice responded coolly.

Lin Yueyue took a deep breath and walked in slowly.

Mo Lengxi was sitting behind his desk, attending to some work. Since he was at home, he wore only a white shirt, with the top two buttons undone, revealing his well-defined collarbone. His sleeves were casually rolled up, and his strong arms rested on the desk.

Seeing this, Lin Yueyue's face flushed with heat. The shirt she had grabbed was identical to the one Mo Lengxi was wearing.

Mo Lengxi noticed this too, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at her. He leaned back comfortably in his chair, his long legs casually crossed. "Come here."
