Lin Mian braced her hands against He Duoye's shoulders, her clear black and white eyes wide, and tried to back away.
But He Duoye didn't actually kiss him. He leaned closer, stopping at a distance where Lin Mian's nose almost touched his.
"Why are you hiding?" He looked down at her, his expression unreadable.
Lin Mian was naturally afraid of contracting the disease.
Who knows how many people this scumbag ex-boyfriend has slept with over the years? What if he infected her with some disease? She'd be in big trouble.
Lin Mian didn't dare say this aloud; she secretly groaned at him, saying, "I just ate raw garlic."
He Duoye raised an eyebrow slightly, his expression becoming a bit more lively than before: "Where did this garlic come from? Did you steal it?"
He pinched the back of Lin Mian's neck with his long, slender fingers, his voice low and carrying a half-serious, half-jokingly dangerous warning.
"If you're dishonest, you'll be punished."
Lin Mian instantly remembered being fed to a tiger yesterday, and could only awkwardly change her tune: "I was just kidding."
But I'm going to eat a lot of garlic tomorrow and make that rotten ex stink to death.
"Oh, you're lying to me." He Duoye's warm, rough palm moved along Lin Mian's small cheek. His palm was large and strong, and one hand covered half of Lin Mian's face.
He pressed and played with Lin Mian's lips with his thumb.
This made Lin Mian feel numb all over, especially her lips and cheeks, as if an electric current was exploding within her, and her eyelashes trembled.
He Duoye's relaxed yet dangerous voice slowly drifted down.
"Here, lying to me will get you shot in the head."
Lin Mian's eyes widened instantly, looking at He Duoye with shock and suspicion.
The man lowered his eyes, his expression lazy, with a hint of a half-smile, as if he were joking, or as if he were telling the truth in a joking tone.
Lin Mian realized that she couldn't understand him at all.
He Duoye pressed Lin Mian's lips back and forth with his fingers, giving her the illusion that he would pry open her teeth and play with her tongue at any moment.
"Next time I call you over, you'd better come obediently." He curled his lips into a smile that seemed gentle and pleasant. "Understand?"
Lin Mian looked at him for a while and nodded.
"Good girl." He Duoye lowered his head and kissed her on the lips before letting go of her.
He Duoye walked out of the hall.
Behind the villa's huge, luxurious gate, several black cars were parked, and several henchmen who looked like gangsters stood nearby.
He Duoye didn't turn around, but bent down and got into the car.
*
After seeing off the manor owner, He Duoye, Uncle Jixiang took Lin Mian to her room.
Lin Mian wanted to stroll around the manor to familiarize herself with the surroundings, but was refused.
Uncle Jixiang said in a gentle and kind tone, "The young master has instructed that you must stay in your room and wait for him from now on. Except for seeing him off in the morning and welcoming him home in the evening, you are not allowed to leave your room."
Lin Mian: "..."
So, she's being held in a state of soft imprisonment, right?
Uncle Jixiang was very friendly and considerate, saying, "It's for your own good that we don't let you go out. This is the young master's private residence. To ensure safety, there is not only strict surveillance and private armed patrols, but also tigers and more than a dozen wolfhounds to guard the house."
"If you wander around alone, you are very likely to get injured."
These words sound like friendly advice, but they also sound like a veiled threat.
If Lin Mian disobeys and sneaks out alone, she might be bitten to death by tigers and wolves.
So Lin Mian temporarily accepted the fact that she couldn't go out. She asked, "What about the person who came with me?"
Uncle Jixiang looked at her: "Are you referring to your blind date?"
Lin Mian nodded. After all, they were acquaintances, and she wanted to know whether the other person was dead or alive.
"He's currently kept in a cage with wolfhounds."
Lin Mian was startled and asked, "Is he still alive?"
Uncle Jixiang shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "I don't know about that. If you're worried about your blind date, you can ask the young master to allow you to visit him."
"..."
Lin Mian's room was on the second floor, and outside the window was a garden full of flowers. When you opened the window, you could smell the rich fragrance of flowers.
Looking into the distance, there is a vast expanse of flat, lush green grassland, and further still, there are forests and the city in the distance.
Lin Mian leaned on the railing, gazing absently at the scenery before her.
So much happened yesterday that she didn't have time to properly think about the current situation.
But actually, it seems there's nothing that needs to be thought about carefully.
The situation is very clear.
Her ex-boyfriend, who was already somewhat abnormal, has now become a powerful and influential gang leader who not only keeps tigers and poisonous snakes but also keeps twin beauties as his wives.
Now, she has tragically become a confined "mistress," and her blind date is even more miserable, locked up in a wolfhound den, with no one even knowing if he is still alive.
Lin Mian gripped the railing, looking at the hideous bruises and marks on her wrists, and belatedly felt anxious and afraid.
These past few days have been nothing short of a hellish escape. First, I was almost sold into the park, and after finally escaping, I was nearly shot to death.
She was eventually saved by her ex-boyfriend, but he is now suspected of having rotten cucumber-like mental illness (Note: extremely dangerous).
Lin Mian pressed her forehead against the railing, regretting that she had agreed to the blind date her aunt had insisted on arranging.
She's in the prime of her life, her life has just begun, she doesn't want to rot here... Will she ever be able to go home?
If she begged for mercy, would He Duoye be willing to help her and take her home?
While he was lost in thought, there was a sudden noise outside. Uncle Jixiang knocked on the door and came in, followed by several maids carrying things and two women who looked like sales assistants.
Everyone was either holding a clothes rack full of clothes, or carrying a shoe box as tall as a person, a jewelry bag, and bottles and jars of skin care products.
There were so many that it looked like several stores had been emptied.
Moreover, they are all luxury brands.
Lin Mian was pushed onto the terrace by the busy maids and stared in disbelief.
Is He Duoye really going to keep her as a pet?
Meizhu walked in at that moment, dressed in a white dress, as elegant as a cool white rose.
She walked slowly through the bustling crowd to Lin Mian, a slight smile on her face, and said gently, "I didn't know what kind of brands you preferred, so I prepared a little of everything. If there's anything you don't like, just have the maid take it away."
She handed Lin Mian a tablet and showed her the mini-program inside: "If there's anything else you need, just place an order here."
Lin Mian was still a little stunned, not quite having reacted yet.
Therefore, these things were not prepared by He Duoye, but by Meizhu, the eldest daughter-in-law who is suspected to be the legal wife.
Is this... a plan to become concubines in the imperial harem with her, and then have the three of them share one husband?
Is this really necessary to be so outrageous?
