C7 Loss of Liberty

"Have you eaten?" He whispered to the servants beside him.

The servants shook their heads helplessly and pointed to the bowl of untouched congee on the bedside table.

"Go out." Shi Yihan gestured for them to leave.

It was drizzling outside. Shi Yihan sat down beside Jing Lin's bed, looked at the bowl of porridge on the bedside table and sighed.

Originally, it should have been drizzling like this. Who knew that the sudden clap of thunder would cause Jing Lin to feel afraid even in her sleep and her body would involuntarily tremble. Ye Zichen also frowned unconsciously, while sweat started to seep out from his forehead.

Shi Yihan's indescribable heartache suddenly surged forth. He gently held her hand, while his large hand continuously caressed her back, trying to ease her fear.

Strangely, Jing Lin seemed to have sensed his presence and actually fell asleep peacefully.

Deep into the night, Shi Yihan fell asleep right next to her. He didn't know why, but a strange power made him want to get close to her. This was the first time he didn't reject women.

The next morning, Jing Lin felt as if her body was being bound by someone. There was still a trace of warmth that made her want to sink into a deep sleep.

When she turned her head to look, that familiar face was sticking closely to her own face. It appeared before her eyes, and she could even clearly feel his breath.

She jumped in fright. When she subconsciously wanted to escape, she found out that her body was bound, and there was a pair of large arms around her slender waist.

Shi Yihan felt sleepy and felt like this woman had been tossing and turning. He mumbled, "Be good and stop messing around."

Jing Lin was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe. She could only stand there stiffly, waiting for him to wake up.

This was the first time she clearly saw the man in front of her. His handsome face and sharp facial features made her unable to open her eyes even a little.

But Jing Lin knew in her heart that such a man did not belong to them. She was only playing the role of a tool.

After a long while, Shi Yihan finally opened his sleepy eyes. Jing Lin's face was a little red, as if she was a young girl who had just awakened in love.

"I'm awake. Are you hungry?" Strangely, Shi Yihan didn't seem to feel anything. He asked naturally and then took her injured hand to check the wound.

Jing Lin was so shocked that she could only blankly nod her head, not daring to say anything.

This person was truly strange. Her emotions fluctuated so much that it only took a short time for her to get out of the glacier and into the warm countryside. However, she would not sink in because she knew her position very well.

"Get up, go wash up and eat breakfast. You didn't eat yesterday." Shi Yihan stood up and took down the hand that had been wrapped around her waist.

"About that, you don't need to make people watch over me. Don't worry, since I've accepted your money, I won't run away even if I die before I have a child." Jing Lin didn't dare to raise her head. Instead, she bit her lower lip and stuttered.

Shi Yihan paused when he walked towards the bathroom. "I'm not looking at you, I'm waiting on you."

What he said was against his will, but he had no choice but to say it this way. He truly did not dare to imagine that day when she cut her wrist and committed suicide.

There was a lot of food arranged on the table, but no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be prepared for those who had lost too much blood.

Jing Lin weakly followed behind him as she descended the stairs. The servants raised their heads to look at her in unison. She followed their gazes and swept her gaze away. Naturally, the servants' gazes were averted.

"Sit." Shi Yihan pulled out a chair for her and helped her to sit down out of habit. All of these actions were like an old man and his wife, without any feeling of disharmony.

On the contrary, it was Jing Lin who was very afraid. Perhaps this was the calm before the storm. After all, a demon like him might explode at any time.

"That, I, I will do it myself." Her face was a bit red as she watched Shi Yihan put the spoon that was filled with porridge next to her mouth.

"Be good, you can't move your hand." Another sentence like that, but in her eyes, it was like a warning, causing her to feel a little scared.

But didn't she just obey when she could? The awkward meal was over.

Shi Yihan ordered the servants to take her back to her room. Since then, he didn't seem to have seen her at all. Only the servants still guarded her twenty-four hours a day.

"That, sir?" Still unable to hold it in, she asked the servant beside her, who was sitting on the bed in utter boredom.

"Don't worry Miss, I usually don't return until very late from work." The servant patiently explained to her.

"What does your husband do?" Hearing her words, all the servants in the room turned their heads and looked straight at her. Shock, or more accurately speaking, shock.

"Miss, Shi Yihan, don't you know?" That maid really couldn't sit still anymore and even stood up excitedly and said.

"Shi Yihan …" Jing Lin muttered under her breath. In her memory, she seemed to have heard of this name before. A bunch of incidents played back in her head.

Suddenly, her eyes widened, and her mouth opened involuntarily, "Ah, it's that mysterious figure whose industrial chain is spread throughout the world."

She felt her entire body tremble, and her hair stood on end. It was as if a cold wind was blowing from her back, causing her to shiver.

"Boss, you need to sign this document." In the office, Shi Yihan was sitting on a spinning chair with his back facing the door, as if he was lost in thought.

Qin Feng rushed in with the documents and a disdainful look on his face.

"Next time, if you don't knock on the door, you can go to the 'ghost base' to train." Shi Yihan turned around and said seriously while staring at Qin Feng.

"You don't want me to come in, so lock the door. You know I never knock anyway." Qin Feng said as he crossed his legs. He wasn't as carefree as he was in the past.

"Sigh, but boss, you didn't really end up in a warm and gentle place did you? I heard Zhang Xudong tell me that." Qin Feng said without waiting for Shi Yihan to open his mouth.

In any case, his boss had never asked him to knock on the door before.

He didn't say anything about meeting him in the office and solving problems with other women.

"It seems like the 'ghost base' needs a Demon Instructor to train them." Shi Yihan raised his head. His eagle-like eyes shot out a piercing light. However, it scared Qin Feng half to death and made him run away gloomily.
