C10 Cruelty Truth
The days that followed became very peaceful.
Yi Xiangxi was not a perverted person. He was not abusive and did not do anything out of line. However, after that night, he seemed to have an endless amount of interest in the affairs of men and women, and he was almost addicted to it.
In addition, he returned home on time every night to eat, and was not picky about the dishes. If his previous shameless methods were to be excluded, he could be considered a good person.
However, Qiao Xiaomai was on the verge of going crazy.
No cell phone, no phone, no computer. Yi Xiangxi's mansion seemed isolated from the world. Like a bird of prey, Qiao Xiaomai no longer saw the light of day.
Her fight with Yi Xiangxi was already a thing of the past. When she returned to reality, she knew that she was in a predicament. A struggle of spirit could not solve any problems.
She used to lie there all day, hoping that she would never open her eyes again.
If it was a nightmare, how good would it be to wake up immediately?
However, this was not a dream. He could feel the faint pain as he squeezed his arm. There was only the huge room, the luxurious bed, the magnificent furnishings around it, and the patio full of flowers.
Such a beautiful room, yet the people inside were just walking around like zombies. What was the point?
The villa was three stories high, with two swimming pools outside and inside.
There were two workers, one in charge of the garden and one in charge of the garden. However, they had all come at the time that Yi Xiangxi had set for them and had been specifically instructed not to have a chance to talk to Qiao Xiaomai alone.
The villa is surrounded by iron gates, and you are not allowed to enter unless you wish. Standing on the balcony of the second floor, she could see the endless green grasslands of this noble residential area, the neatly trimmed and expensive trees and flowers.
Farther away, there was a large lake. Countless egrets flew about, their long-legged cranes moving independently, looking very graceful.
The terrace she was on was wooded and scented. It was summer, and the gardenia were so thick that roses crawled all over the walls, filling the eyes with bright red. If a girl saw this house, she wouldn't even need to look at the appearance of the male owner. In all likelihood, she would agree to marry immediately.
And she, Qiao Xiaomai, was locked in such a mansion, looking like a forbidden woman.
Was it really because she fell in love with him at first sight?
She knew that this was a joke.
The truth was shrouded in a fog. Once it was revealed, blood would definitely flow.
Of course Yi Xiangxi wouldn't give her money. For such female companions, the rich never give too much cash to prevent the farce of getting the money and running away. Only the latest big refrigerator had all kinds of food.
There are also many fruits, snacks, all very rare imported varieties.
Here, he didn't have to worry about food or clothes. Furthermore, they were all top quality food.
Being in a conspiracy whirlpool, knowing full well that there would be a dead end, he couldn't help but spend his days like a year. It's not the suspense that hurts, it's the fact that you have to get to the end of the play before you know the truth. Before that, your neck was almost broken.
There was a small room on the roof, entirely made of wood, with two sloping panes of glass on top. The people sitting in the room looked up just in time to see the stars.
Qiao Xiaomai often sat in the attic, lost in thought.
There were also a number of musical instruments, including piano, violin, pipa, guitar and even flute … He didn't know if Yi Xiangxi could really use it, or if he could use it elegantly.
She had never once heard him play.
That day, Yi Xiangxi came back early.
He spread out his hands, fished out a few sheets, and handed them over. Qiao Xiaomai took it and looked at it, as if she had swallowed a tranquilizer. It was a bill to pay for her father, and there was no lie in it.
He dialed the number on his cell phone and handed it to her.
The person who answered the phone was his father's Aunt Jin. Aunt Jin had been an old friend of hers for nearly 20 years. She was a completely trustworthy person. Auntie Jin repeatedly congratulated her on her happy marriage, said that the Jiang Family people were very responsible, arranged for someone to pay a treatment fee of half a month's advance, and even gave her a generous tip, telling Mac not to worry. Then Aunt Jin gave her father the phone. From the sound of it, the father was calm and well, and he thought the newlyweds were out on their honeymoon and told his daughter to have a good time. In the end, he even laughed and sighed, saying that his daughter finally had a good home.
Qiao Xiaomai forced a smile on her face. She was glad that her father didn't know the truth.
After hanging up, she returned the phone to Yi Xiangxi and saw his thoughtful expression.
She looked at the bill again and asked, "Why don't you pay the two months' fee together?"
He lightly tapped her forehead and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Greedy woman, if I pay the bill right now, wouldn't you try to escape?"
The gesture was so intimate that Qiao Xiaomai said slowly, "You know, for the sake of money, I will never leave."
He couldn't even chase them away!
On a whim, not only was he unable to take revenge, but he was also unable to save his father's life. He was like a gambler who had lost to the point where he had no chips left. He might as well bet on himself. He would never stop until his body was smashed into smithereens.
Yi Xiangxi walked straight to the dining room. He seemed to be surprised to see a few delicate dishes on the table.
"Mac, you did this?"
She carelessly said, "You spend money, and I will do my duty. Yi Xiangxi, stop playing tricks on us. "
"Looks like it's quite tasty."
"Didn't you, Lord Yi, investigate me thoroughly? "Don't you know that in order to marry into a rich and powerful family, I once trained hard in culinary arts …"
"You called me Lord Yi? "Hahaha, not bad, not bad …" He took in a deep breath of the fragrance exuding from the dishes on the table. "Heh, they smell really good. Wheat, your cooking skills are quite good."
"Be careful of the saliva."
He laughed out loud. "Let alone drooling, I even recognized the poison. Even if I were to die from peony blossom [1], being a ghost would still be an easy thing to do."
This time, he ate three big bowls of rice and swept all the dishes on the table clean.
Qiao Xiaomai cleaned up the table and returned. When she saw him sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and resting, she mustered her courage and said, "I want to go to work …"
He held her hand and pulled her into his embrace. Her entire body was soft and warm as she fell into his embrace. He held her in his arms quietly, very comfortable.
"I need to go to work …"
His face was close to hers, and he was enjoying his smooth, delicate skin. The two of them were very intimate, "Shhh …" "You must stay here, and never leave …
"I'm not a prisoner!"
He stroked her soft hair, breathing in the clean, sweet scent of her body. "You can read and cook, and time passes so quickly, just two months, it's not really that important whether you go out or not, is it?"
She could not say yes or no, because his lips had completely blocked her … This time, it was no longer tearing and biting, but a gentle, bewitching sensation.
She stopped fighting because she had spoken to her father on the phone.
But he did not continue, slowly releasing her.
"I want to go out …"
"What are you doing out there?"
