There was a sudden silence after Marlene had finished her words. But it didn't take too long when the young man sighed. "You're so stupid, believe it or not, you were the first woman he slept with." His voice suddenly sounded cold. "You should have let him die as a penance on what he did to you." He added with conviction.Those words were like a knife that suddenly pierced through her heart. "Me? His first woman? Don't make me laugh..." Marlene answered mockingly. "He was so good at making a woman to fell on his feet." She added with disdain.Young man: "..." Is that really what she thinks?!Marlene continued crying as she grasped the sheets and seethed in anger. "You're stupid to think that I will let him be in danger! I wouldn't run if I wanted him to die!""He will get killed once he has a Hùnxiě child because of me!" Marlene added while sobbing, blaming herself. But of course she still regretted not giving a chance for Xiao XiRan to protect her.There had been another silence for a couple of breaths before Marlene heard him saying with assurance on his voice. "He won't let that happen.""As long as you're willing to stay." He seriously said, yet it sounded with sadness. "But you don't like him, you hated him.""Just at first.. I hated him at first.." Marlene faintly uttered. "But he treated me like his real wife.. Even if I was chained..." There was sadness on Marlene's voice. "He still took care of me. I can feel that he really loves me...""I don't know how.. I don't know when it happened..." Then she admitted. "But I love him.. I love him so much.." Marlene's voice sounded anguish, but obviously with love and honesty.Another silence falls in the room. It took a couple of minutes when he said. "He does love you.. He always loves you.. You're the only woman he ever loved." His tone were serious, but sounded with love."Why didn't you tell him that you feel the same way?" He added as he tried to suppress the excitement on his voice, but he faintly asked. "Is that why you didn't let him get killed?Marlene responded like still didn't care that they were talking and responding to each other's words. "How can I tell him? I was afraid.. And why would I let him die on their hands?!" She continued with annoyance on her voice."He should suffer from my own way, not their way!" Marlene added, thinking how much she wanted to punch Xiao XiRan on his face. "I will punish him!"A chuckle suddenly rang on Marlene's ears before he spoke with agreement. "Uh-huh, he should suffer from your own ways. But how do you wish to do that?" His voice sounded with interest."I'll castrate him!" Marlene answered with anger. "I'll bite him until he bleeds! I will chain him too like what he did to me!" She added while recalling what she experienced. Young man: "..." Castrate?!He was speechless for a moment, but laughed. "If you remove his flesh, you can't enjoy him anymore." He teasingly said. "You can chain him, then do exactly how he touched you.""Just like what I will do now.." He immediately added that made Marlene's body stiffened as a strong arm suddenly hooked her waist; turning her around, laying her back on the bed.Marlene widened her eyes in disbelief. Her tears immediately stopped but before she can speak, a soft hot lip covered hers followed by his body leaning down to her. He started kissing her passionately, but Marlene was not responding as her eyes were fixed on his face and scarlet eyes that almost covered by his grayish hair.Not getting her sweet kiss, he nibbles on her lips as he speaks seductively. "Aren't you going to give me a welcome back kiss? Don't you want me back?"
