C6 It's Just the Beginning
Beg this word, and I'm thrown into a bottomless abyss.
The blood in my limbs had turned icy cold at this moment. Even my breathing felt like it was being cut by ice. It was so painful that it pierced my heart.
Lo Xiyin pushed me lightly from the side, "Miss Shen, are you alright?"
Good?
How could it be alright?
At this moment, the only thought in Huo Tinggui's mind was how to humiliate and torture me.
What should I do?
I forced out a smile, but it was uglier than crying, "I understand. Thank you. I will go over now. "
I walked towards the hotel's main entrance with unsteady steps.
After calling a taxi, I headed straight for Lih Residence.
There was a full one hour drive from the hotel to Lih Residence. I leaned against the back seat and almost fell asleep. My mind was in a mess.
I think, after I go to the Lih Residence, what will Huo Tinggui do to me? Will he be willing to give me the surveillance video? Or perhaps, he just wants to see me kneel down and lick him, admitting that the betrayal was the biggest mistake in my life?
No matter what the outcome was, it was like a seed of thorns that quickly took root in my heart and spread into my flesh, causing my breathing to almost stop.
After that, the door to the Lih Residence appeared in front of me.
After throwing down two hundred dollars, I got out of the car.
Standing in front of the familiar yet unfamiliar iron gate, my hand that was pressing the doorbell trembled.
After three rings, the visual phone at the door is picked up.
I look like a fool. With a glance, I stood in front of him, at a loss for what to do. "Hey, stop. . . . Mr. Huo, it's me. Shen Ann, I'm begging you. Please give me the surveillance video. "
Huo Tinggui asked me to come and beg him, so I really did it.
But he cut off the video call with a click.
Wait for me to press it again, there was no response.
The night wind rustled as I was directly hung outside the door by him.
Only then did I realize that when I got off the car just now, I was too anxious. I actually didn't even take off my jacket.
Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and standing in the wind, my skin quickly turned cold and red.
I hugged my arms and didn't dare to move. I just stood in front of the visual phone, afraid that Huo Tinggui would suddenly show a kind heart and pick up the screen. However, he couldn't see me at the door, so he got angry and didn't give me another chance.
After standing there for about half an hour, rain began to fall from the sky.
At first, there were a few of them. Then, they started to gather together. In the end, it became a heavy rain that poured down on my face.
My entire body was in pain from the rain. I gritted my teeth and persisted. My vision also began to turn black.
Just as I was about to collapse, the metal door suddenly made a clicking sound and automatically bounced open.
I didn't dare to think of anything. I seized this opportunity and slipped through the gap in the metal door.
After passing through the garden at the entrance of Lih Residence, I was still thinking that Huo Tinggui hadn't been too heartless. When I saw the rain, I saw that it was raining. Let me in.
However, when I stood at the entrance drenched in water, I saw him squatting on the ground and teaching a lesson to a golden retriever.
With a dark expression, he reprimanded, "If you dare to eat the switch again, I'll stew you!"
The golden retriever was obviously afraid of him, so it laid on the ground and didn't dare to move.
Beside it was a remote control with sparkling liquid on it. It was obviously the dog's saliva.
The little hope in my heart was extinguished by the heavy rain outside. I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
How foolish must a person be to think that the person he had hurt back then would treat him well?
If it wasn't for this dog biting the remote control, Huo Tinggui probably wouldn't even see me tonight.
Although he called me over, he didn't intend to see me.
After all, five years later, I'm worthless in his eyes.
"What are you standing at the door for? Go to the bathroom and make it wet everywhere. You're like a water ghost, soaking so hard that the floor is almost broken. "
Huo Tinggui's words pierced through the air and entered my ears.
The current me is indeed no different from a water ghost. I have only stood at the entrance for a while, but I have already left a large pool of water on the ground.
However, I am still somewhat embarrassed by his blatant disdain.
Hurriedly rushing into the nearest washroom, I close the door to prevent him from getting angry when he sees me again.
There was a constant temperature system in this room. It was probably because of the rain that the room was several degrees higher than the outside.
I walked in and stayed for a while. My body was stimulated by the alternating cold and heat, and I couldn't help but sneeze a few times.
I was flustered. I went to the bathroom to grab a piece of paper to cover my nose. Only then did I see myself in the mirror.
He was in a sorry state. The bruises and swelling on his face had yet to dissipate. Coupled with the fact that his hair was randomly stuck to his face due to the rain, it was truly frightening.
So the reason why Huo Tinggui looked at me with such disgust and disgust just now was also because of this, right?
Just as he was thinking, the bathroom door was opened.
Huo Tinggui stood at the door and threw the thing in his hand to me from afar. Clearly, he didn't even have the intention to walk in.
"Wash yourself clean, then change into this set of clothes and come upstairs to find me. " Huo Tinggui said.
I lowered my head and looked at the clothes in my hands.
It was a very simple style of female pajamas, but the fabric was very new. It seemed like I just bought it recently.
Lo Xiyin's appearance suddenly appeared in my mind.
This dress is hers, right?
It seems like Huo Tinggui has already lived with her.
Thinking about it, it made sense. They were both unmarried couples, so what did living together have to do with it?
It's just that this dress, I really can't accept it.
I folded it and wanted to return it to Huo Tinggui. "I don't want to wear this. "
Huo Tinggui's expression instantly became impatient. His ink-black eyes reflected some coldness. "Shen Ann, what are you playing with me for? Remember your purpose of coming here today. You don't have the right to bargain with me, understand?"
These words made my extended hand freeze in midair.
My mood was extremely bitter and I could not say a single word.
After a moment of stalemate, he turns around, "Quickly take a shower and change your clothes, don't talk so much nonsense. "
After saying that, he closes the bathroom door with a bang.
I pinched my pajamas and almost frowned. Finally, I took a few deep breaths and followed Huo Tinggui's instructions.
He was right. I came to beg him. What right do I have to choose between here and there?
It was impossible for me to walk around his Lih Residence wearing that wet set of clothes.
For someone like Huo Tinggui who is obsessed with cleanliness, doing this is undoubtedly going against his bottom line and challenging his tolerance.
What I need to do now is to be obedient!
After a simple bath, I changed into my pajamas and slowly walked upstairs to look for Huo Tinggui.
Those were just appetizers.
The highlight of tonight's show must still be behind.
With this thought in mind, I softly knocked on Huo Sichen's room as if I was about to die.
