Chapter 491
The man’s eyes turned cold, further solidifying his resolve.
Yes, if he couldn’t keep her heart, he would keep her person. In any case, he would never let go of her in this lifetime!
An Ruo had a sleepless night and only managed to drift off slightly at dawn.
Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, she instantly opened her eyes, but she didn’t turn around.
Tang Yuchen walked in as if nothing was amiss. He first went to take a shower in the bathroom, then came out wrapped in a bath towel to the wardrobe to find clothes.
He didn’t make his movements any lighter; on the contrary, he seemed to make them deliberately louder, completely indifferent to whether this would wake her.
An Ruo remained motionless, intending to get out of bed after he had left.
After getting dressed, the man slowly walked over to her, towering above her and looking down with a few traces of indifference in his dark eyes.
Their gazes met, and An Ruo indifferently withdrew her eyes, lowering her head to support herself up.
Tang Yuchen leaned in close to her, his deep facial contours magnifying before her eyes.
She didn’t move, silently locking eyes with him.
After a few seconds of silence, his thin lips parted slightly to ask her, “Do you hate me?”
Hate him? She didn’t know.
Maybe she hated him, or maybe she no longer felt anything towards him, not even hate.
“Heh, even if you hate me, don’t think I’ll let you go.” The man curved his lips into a cold smile, pinched her face, and the dark depth of his eyes made it impossible to read his emotions.
“An Ruo, I’m giving you three days to tell me where the child is. Remember, don’t try to oppose me, and don’t hide anything from me. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your only brother never sees another day’s sun.”
An Ruo’s pupils contracted, her body trembling lightly.
She clenched her teeth tightly, managing to refrain from slapping him.
What else could he do besides threatening her?!
Seeing her angrily silent, the man’s lips curved slightly, he released her chin and elegantly stood up to leave.
An Ruo collapsed back onto the bed, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
Tang Yuchen, is there any point in treating me this way?
She lay there with a vacant gaze for a while before going to the bathroom to take a shower and get dressed to go downstairs.
Tang Yuchen had already left, and though he wasn’t at home, she still felt suffocated by everything around her.
Was this lavish villa going to be her cage forever?
After eating, Uncle Tao asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk. He also indirectly explained that the young master allowed her to go out to relax, that no one was watching her, and that she was free.
An Ruo really felt like laughing. She was not free.
In the past, he restrained her body; now he was becoming more astute, using an invisible shackle to imprison her soul.
She couldn’t go anywhere, she would never be free again.
An Ruo declined Uncle Tao’s kindness. She didn’t leave the house but stayed in to watch television.
She watched intently, really watching. But in the next second, she would forget the storyline and remember nothing at all.
As the evening darkened, Tang Yuchen returned from work and immediately spotted her upon entering the living room.
But An Ruo didn’t give him a single glance.
“Young Master, dinner is ready,” Uncle Tao, taking his suit, said respectfully to him.
The man rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and walked over to An Ruo, blocking the television screen.
He looked at her intently and moved his lips, but spoke indifferently, “Let’s go have dinner.”
An Ruo put down the remote control and stood up to walk to the dining room.
During the meal, neither of them spoke; she wouldn’t talk to him, and he didn’t know what to say to her.
Seeing that she was only eating rice and barely touching the dishes, he couldn’t help but pick up a piece of fish and place it in her bowl.
