C94 Torture Attached
At this moment, he was like a king who allowed his subjects to enjoy themselves under his watch, and he just watched coldly from the sidelines, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
And beside him sat a charming and moving woman. She wore a deep purple V-mat dress, but her skirt was lifted up to deliberately reveal her white and immature thighs as she leaned against that iceberg man's calves.
This scene made Pei Luoluo clench her fists tightly. Blue veins protruded out of her slender hands and her entire body trembled. But she only gritted her teeth and did not say anything as she walked through the crowd towards her bedroom.
"Stop!" With a shout, the coldness entered her heart and stopped Pei Luoluo's footsteps.
Pei Luoluo turned around and her coat fell to the ground, with the exception of her teary eyes. What appeared in front of everyone was a pure and delicate woman in a revealing umbilical dress, with curvaceous curves that accentuated her lovely figure. Along with that face without makeup but with a smile that could topple cities, all of a sudden... The entire audience fell silent.
"I'm a little tired, you guys take your time to play." The soft and soothing voice rang out the silence of the entire place. Pei Luoluo raised her face and swallowed her tears into her stomach. With an uncompromising gaze, she stared straight at the two people upstairs.
"Yichen, your woman is so arrogant. There are so many guests and she doesn't even entertain them. She just wants to hide in her room. Are you a turtle?" Han Xuanlin sneered and looked sharply at Pei Luoluo with a face full of disdain.
The people downstairs all moved aside, leaving Pei Luoluo alone in the middle. She seemed isolated and helpless.
Ignoring Han Xuanlin's words, Pei Luoluo looked straight at Xiao Yichen. Waiting for him to speak. She didn't want to get involved with the people here. She couldn't even be bothered to look at those sympathetic eyes that were watching a good show.
"I heard that the fruit platters you made are pretty good. Go to the kitchen and get some for yourself. After you're done, go and rest." Xiao Yichen shook the ashes off his cigarette and stopped looking at those angry eyes.
He clearly wanted to torture her, but in the end, he would unconsciously feel sorry for her. That kind of torture that was good to her and also caused harm to her. This made Xiao Yichen gradually understand that he seemed to be very afraid that he would treat Pei Luoluo well unconsciously.
However, he was never willing to admit it!
Pei Luoluo hummed and turned to the kitchen. The moment the kitchen door closed, Pei Luoluo's tears could not stop falling.
However, crying was useless. Xiao Yichen had said something, so she would finish it. As she thought in her heart, Pei Luoluo started peeling off the ingredients with tears hanging on her face.
But she didn't think that she would need to do so much!
Mrs Zhang only came in when Pei Luoluo was half busy. She told Pei Luoluo that she wanted to do more than a hundred people. Although the plate did not need to be full, it would take a few hours to do less. Hence, she came to help.
"Mrs Zhang, I will do it myself. You can go out." Pei Luoluo knew that if Mrs Zhang helped her even a little, neither Han Xuanlin nor Xiao Yichen would let her have a good time.
Because Xiao Yichen's words were very clear. He said, Go and do it yourself.
Mrs Zhang felt a little heartache as she looked at Pei Luoluo's stubborn face filled with endless bitterness. The guilt in her heart became deeper. She really wanted to tell her that there was no need to work so hard to please her. The final result would be the same.
But in the end, it still turned into silence.
Pei Luoluo already could not count how many times her hand was cut by the knife. Her vision also began to blur and her hands and feet became sore and weak.
She did not expect that doing something non-stop would also overdraft her mental and physical strength. That final numbness could not be considered a form of relief or an end.
When the last plate of fruit was out of the kitchen, Pei Luoluo leaned against the cupboard and looked at the moonlight outside the window. Unknowingly, it had already been replaced by a warm yellow morning glow.
"Young Grandmother..." Mrs Zhang's voice entered Pei Luoluo's ears but Pei Luoluo's physical strength was seriously exhausted and she did not have the strength to speak anymore.
Her weak breath made her spread out her index and middle fingers and there were many scratches of varying depth. Xianyu Lulu stabbed Mrs Zhang and the pair of bone-piercing cold eyes standing behind her.
Seeing the person who came, Pei Luoluo straightened her body and said with all her strength, "I, can I go back now?"
"Send Young Grandmother back to her room to rest." His voice was low and cold, just like his current expression and his heart.
"Pei Luoluo, why aren't you leaving?" When Pei Luoluo passed by Xiao Yichen, he suddenly asked.
His words were very soft, as if he was asking himself. However, what answered him was only the fragrance of fruits drifting in the air.
'Why aren't you leaving? I've already helped you recover your losses, allowing you to live a peaceful and ordinary life. Why do you want to stay behind and let me torture you? You like to dominate Mrs Xiao's name and care so much about my assets. Do you care about my rights? Do you care about losing yourself? "
The room was quiet and peaceful, with only the sound of the wind blowing on the leaves and occasional knocks on the glass windows.
When Pei Luoluo woke up, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. The tiredness still did not leave her body. She felt that her entire body was sore and her limbs were weak.
After using all her strength for a long time, Pei Luoluo barely managed to put on the most concise formal attire for herself. It was just that it was a little thin. But she really did not have the strength to put in any more effort. Her ponytail was tied a little loose and she planned to go out just like that.
"Young Grandmother, where are you going?" Seeing Pei Luoluo dragging her tired body to the door, Mrs Zhang quickly went forward to support her.
"I'm going to work." Pei Luoluo pointed to the door and swallowed her saliva as she spoke in a hoarse voice. But the moment she opened her mouth, she felt as if her throat had been scratched. She swallowed her saliva, and it was so painful that she broke out in cold sweat.
"Aiya, how can you go to work like this!" Mrs Zhang was so angry that she pulled Pei Luoluo back.
Pei Luoluo's physical strength was already severely exhausted, so she only rested for four to five hours. She did not recover at all and was pulled by Mrs Zhang. Her entire body fell backwards. Mrs Zhang would definitely not be able to hold her at her age. She was even dragged along and fell down.
It was unknown if it was because she subconsciously took into account Mrs Zhang's age, Pei Luoluo followed along and pulled Mrs Zhang into her embrace. Mrs Zhang fell onto her body but Pei Luoluo fell heavily onto the ground. Her brain buzzed and she did not know anything.
The moment she opened her eyes, Pei Luoluo saw that there was a group of people surrounding the bed. The back of her head was swollen and painful. She felt tired even when she spoke. She simply looked at the group of people in a daze. Her eyes seemed to be saying, What are you guys doing?
Mrs Zhang was crying at the side, and Zhang Chen was also there. He looked at her and said nothing, but his face was very ugly.
Only Xiao Yichen stood at the furthest distance, with his hands in his pockets. He looked indifferent until he saw that she had woken up. There was a slight change in expression in his eyes, and what replaced it was the coldness that had not changed for a hundred years.
"Miss Pei, can you hear me?" Frank's voice was neither soft nor heavy, but it carried a probing tone.
