Chapter 461
The man grabbed her arm, hastily explaining, “I was bad to you before because I hadn’t fallen in love with you…”
“Right, it’s because you didn’t love me that you treated me badly, and my heartlessness towards you is also because I don’t love you.”
“You’re lying, you clearly said you loved me, you do love me!” Tang Yuchen emphasized loudly, not knowing whether he was speaking for her to hear or for himself.
An Ruo’s face remained cold, with no trace of emotion in her eyes from beginning to end.
She had loved him, but her love for him had been strangled in his deceit long ago.
“Tang Yuchen, you consider yourself quite the charmer, don’t you? We’re all adults here. Can’t we stop being childish? Love—do you really believe in that fairy tale?”
He felt like he didn’t recognize the woman before him anymore, wondering why her temperament had suddenly changed so drastically.
What on earth had happened all those years ago? He was certain she must have been provoked by something.
Suddenly turning around, he didn’t want to meet her cold eyes and said indifferently, “From now on, you’ll live here. Don’t even think about leaving without my permission. You don’t have to say where the child is; I will find him!”
Having said that, he left without looking back.
An Ruo laughed coldly in her heart. You won’t find him, not unless you die. No, even if you die, you won’t find him.
My child will go to Heaven, while you might go to Hell.
After Tang Yuchen had gone, Uncle Tao stepped forward with a smile and asked her kindly, “Young Lady, are you tired? Shall I take you to rest?”
“Uncle Tao, please don’t call me Young Lady, just call me An Ruo,” she insisted, her voice tinged with loathing for the term ’Young Lady’.
Uncle Tao quickly changed his address: “Miss An, let me take you to rest.”
An Ruo’s handbag had been left in Tang Yuchen’s car; she had nothing on her. She asked Uncle Tao with a smile, “May I make a phone call first?”
“Certainly,” Uncle Tao nodded.
“Um, could you excuse me for a moment? It’s a private matter,” An Ruo said, a bit embarrassed.
Uncle Tao walked away with a smile, not making it difficult for her at all. She found it strange but didn’t dwell on it too much.
Picking up the phone, An Ruo decided to call the police. No matter how powerful Tang Yuchen was, he couldn’t contend with the police. If he wanted to detain her, then she would have the police take her away.
Pressing 110, the call wouldn’t go through. She tried several times but still couldn’t make a call.
An Ruo quickly called for Uncle Tao, “Uncle Tao, is the phone broken? Why can’t I make a call?”
Uncle Tao came out, bowing respectfully, “Miss An, the young master has activated a one-way shielding system. Phones inside the villa can’t make outgoing calls, only receive them.”
An Ruo was seething with anger. No wonder Uncle Tao was at ease letting her make a phone call; it turned out that it was impossible to call out in the first place.
“Uncle Tao, can you lend me US$100?” she suddenly asked.
“Certainly,” Uncle Tao immediately gave her the money. With a toothy smile, she said, “Thank you. I’ll pay you back.”
With the money in hand, An Ruo walked outside. She was determined to leave this place by any means necessary.
She had initially planned to forcefully leave, but the two Gate Gods guarding the door would not let her pass, no matter what she said. They even said that the only way she could leave was to step over their dead bodies.
Killing two people to escape wasn’t worth it; she didn’t want to commit a crime.
With no other choice, An Ruo had to return to the living room.
