Chapter 13 As Submissive as a Dog
- *Pang* all of a sudden the door opened.
- Ye Sichen walked in to behold this absurd sight.
- "Su Yao..." he was astonished to see Su Yao, but the smile instantly faded from his face.
- What was Su Yao doing? Why was she kneeling on a pile of broken glass, with blood flowing down from her leg onto it?
- "Mr. Ye, you're back..." Wang, who had awkwardly ducked into a corner for a while, was relieved that someone could finally help ease the tension.
- "What happened?" asked Ye Sichen quizzically.
- Wang peered at Lu Licheng, who was sitting in silence on the couch, with an air of displeasure on his face, as he remained absorbed in deep thought, then swallowed and said truthfully, "This waitress pissed Mr. Lu off, so he made her... kneel and climb over the shattered glass."
- Ye Sichen looked at Su Yao, baffled that she was willing to kneel.
- "Get up, Su Yao!" he went over to pull Su Yao up, then glowered at Lu Licheng, "What were you thinking?" seeing that someone was helping her, Lu Licheng had an indescribably sense of relief.
- "Why? Hero to her rescue?" mocked Lu Licheng, "She's has become such a mess, but you still want her?"
- "What do you mean by wanting her? Su Yao's a human being, not a plate of food, so you should be more respectful!" retorted Ye Sichen, "If you don't like her, then I'll take her away now."
- "Hold it!" Lu Licheng looked daggers at her, while he rose to approach Su Yao, going around her twice before peering at Ye Sichen, "Look at her, she's so dirty, ugly and undignified. She doesn't even have the most basic self-respect, yet you still find her attractive?"
- Ye Sichen turned to look at Lu Licheng with hostility, "It's up to me to like her and none of your business, right? Lu Licheng, what are you trying to do?"
- "Wow, your love is strong," scoffed Lu Licheng, "Hear that, Su Yao? This man desires you even now, then since you're a woman with no pride, are going to hold on to him tight for backing? Do you think that once you're out from prison, you're free to marry the rich and powerful?"
- Su Yao's hand was on her side, gripping the wound on her thigh tightly while concealing the pang in her heart with a physical one!
- If it were just a little bit more painful, her heart would not ache!
- She was such a fool to be naïve enough to give birth to this monster's child!
- Not only was she tortured, her child even died immediately after birth!
- A violent tremor rocked Su Yao's body, very fleetingly, it stung Ye Sichen in his heart, who frowned at Lu Licheng, "It's all history now since Su Yao has paid the price, isn't pointless for you to harass her?"
- "Tsk tsk, it's easy for you to say because it wasn't your woman who died," Lu Licheng did not know what came over him. A moment ago he was fine, but the sight of Su Yao triggered him, especially when she hid meekly behind Ye Sichen, so he got madder and harshly said, "I'm sure you're happy now that the woman you like is here, but it won't be that easy for me to forgive her!"
- As he spoke, he yanked Su Yao out, pinching her brutally by her chin, with a bloodthirsty smile hanging from his face, "Su Yao, do you still love me as much as you did 5 years ago?"
- Su Yao shuddered hard and turned startled, "No... I wouldn't dare to like you anymore..."
- A wave of displeasure swept over Lu Licheng. All those passionate declarations of love that she would only marry him have now reduced nothing?
- He raised his thumb, gliding it over her lips.
- It was pale and dry.
- When did those bright red lips that lingered in his memory become like this?
- He glanced at Ye Sichen, who was anxious, then a thought flashed through Lu Licheng's mind, and he swiftly bent over to kiss her!
- Su Yao was taken aback!
- Her mind went blank!
- Lu Licheng was engrossed kissing her soft lips, which seemed dry beyond hope, but the second his lips touched them, his memory rapidly opened like floodgates. Everything about that fateful night, the intense sex they had, all swiftly flooded his mind like a deluge.
- Instinctively, Lu Licheng kissed her more feverishly.
- Su Yao was in shock, so she acted like a doll sitting there a vacantly while letting Lu Licheng have his way kissing her relentlessly.
- Although she had slept with Lu Licheng before, she had a fragmented memory of the event, because she could not recall anything, strictly speaking, this was her first kiss.
- A precious kiss, which she had secreted away for over 20 years, wasn't worth a dime to this man!
- He was cruel, rough, too disdainful to even look at her. With such a laid-back attitude, as though he were playing with some worthless slag, he picked up off the streets! The saddest thing was she could only obey because she had no right to retaliate.
- Su Yao closed her eyes, allowing the sorrow to swell in her heart.
- Lu Licheng, do you happy with trampling my pride under your feet?
- A tear trickled down Su Yao's face. No anticipating Lu Licheng to humiliate Su Yao, this piqued Ye Sichen, who suddenly punched him!
- *Pang* Lu Licheng's tilted to the side and at the same time released Su Yao.
- "Su Yao, are you alright?" Ye Sichen looked concerned.
- "Ah," Lu Licheng raised his hand to wipe the blood off the corner of his lips, then stared murkily at her, "Wasn't that what you've always dreamed of? Wasn't my kiss satisfying?"
- Damn it, why did she suddenly cry? Was she this unwilling to be kissed by him?
- A burst of anger shot from his heart, so his tone involuntarily grew harsher.
- Causing a moderate subject to strike Su Yao heftily on her heart, who could not help trembling, because she could make out his threats and sense displeasure in between his words!
- For countless days and nights, she lived with his intimidation and retribution looming over her!
- At her core, she was desperately terrified of Lu Licheng yet not audacious enough to agitate him!
- Su Yao's legs went limp, subconsciously kneeling at his feet, bumping her head forcefully to the ground repeatedly and trembling as she did. Then her urgent appeals echoed through the silent room, "I was wrong, Mr. Lu! I know I was wrong, please let me go..." leaving everyone dumbfounded.
- Lu Licheng too, was caught by surprise because all he said were some typical matters. Was it necessary for her to overreact?
- Lu Licheng felt a prick in his heart, so he reached out to pull Su Yao up, "Get up. Get up right now!"
- Regardless of how he tried, Su Yao was nailed kneeling on the ground, as she mechanically kowtowed, "I've really learned my mistakes and won't ever do it again. Please, I beg you, please forgive me..."
- She was in a trance, forgetting where she was and who she was. Yes, just keep genuflecting and pleading ceaselessly. Unless you want to be beaten to death, do not retaliate!
- You haven't seen your little boy yet, so you can't die!
- "I'm sorry, I won't ever do it again..."
- Like a madwoman, Su Yao slammed her head continuously onto the icy ground.
- Lu Licheng was more astonished rather than disgusted. Has this woman gone crazy to kowtow because of something he said?
- It did not occur to Li Licheng that to Su Yao, he was a monster!
- No, he was far more savage than a monster!
- Blood flowed down, obscuring her eyes, but Su Yao was oblivious, only kowtowing continuously. Ye Sichen, who had been standing by the side, was
- With his eyes overcast, Lu Licheng studied this bizarre scene. Su Yao, you cunning woman, what ruse are you trying to pull this time? Yet why did the sight of the blood leave a twinge in his heart?
- If it was merely an act, then this woman was far too good!
- Lu Licheng hastily stood up, strode over to Su Yao, then pulled her up. He came close to her ear, then in a husky intimidating tone, "Su Yao, what are ploy are you trying to pull?"
- Su Yao dared not raise her head, shrinking her head down as low as she could, she shuddered so hard it could be heard in her voice, "No... I'm, I wouldn't dare... I've learned my mistakes..."
- "If I didn't accidentally run into you today, I wouldn't have known you were released. Why? Have you gotten too used to prison life that you want to go back in for a few more years?"
- This evoked memories of the suffering she endured all those years, which flashed before her very eyes, leaving her quivering in shock.
- "No... I don't want to go back in..."
