NOVEL NEXT He just approached, without doing anything, and Su Ruoqing felt choked and unconsciously grabbed her skirt.
The black leather boots stopped in front of her.
“Everyone of you, get out.” He spoke, not to Su Ruoqing.
Chun Xiu was stunned. Didn’t he mind what had happened just now?
Leng Yuhe looked up gently and shot a piercing glare at Chun Xiu.
Chun Xiu felt shivers down her spine and hurriedly lowered her head, “Yes.”
She hurriedly walked away cautiously, calling the other maids in the room and quickly retreating.
The bedroom door was shut with a click.
Su Ruoqing, who still was kneeling on the ground, dared not look up.
Leng Yuhe stood for a while and slowly squatted down. His sharp eyes were more pressing as the distance between them shortened.
“Did you fall?” He spoke with the barest hint of a smile on his face.
Su Ruoqing didn’t understand what he meant and simply pretended to be deaf and lowered her head so as not to see him.
Leng Yuhe moved his fingers. But this time, instead of lifting her chin, he gently stroked toward her waist along her slender legs.
The rough cloth scratched across her skin, causing her to tremble. Su Ruoqing huddled herself up.
Leng Yuhe smiled and didn’t get annoyed. He simply drew back his hand, stood up straight and silently repressed Su Ruoqing’s scared nerves with his tall and upright shadow.
“Take off your clothes.”
He ordered.
Su Ruoqing opened her eyes wide. She tightened her arms, her body stiff. She dared not move.
Leng Yuhe said in a silent voice, “Why aren’t you moving? Are you waiting for me to help you?”
The last few words were stressed and extremely threatening.
Su Ruoqing’s face turned pale. After a few seconds of silence, she said with a trembling voice, “We… we’re not engaged yet.”
“Huh.” Leng Yuhe sneered, “Engaged to you?”
The words humiliated Su Ruoqing like a slap in the face.
She didn’t make any more sound.
In the eyes of Leng, how could she be engaged to him?
Th betrothal between to the two families was just a joke that year. At that time, Leng Yuhe’s father was just a marginal military chief who was just equal in social status with the Su family, who made their fortune in dealing with herbal medicine. So, after a few jokes on the dinner table, they settled on such a ridiculous betrothal.
After the Lengs prospered, the Sus did want to marry their daughter off, but Leng Yuhe was notorious, and Su Zhenguo didn’t want to marry his daughter to the family any more for fear that she would suffer.
The Lengs also did not like the humble family of the Sus, so the marriage was cancelled by default.
However, the other day, Leng’s father, who was seriously ill, mentioned it again, saying that a promise couldn’t be taken back once it was made. Since the marriage was settled, they must marry, or he could not face his ancestors who had always been trustworthy.
So the old story was brought up again and Su Ruoqing became the most innocent victim.
“You are killing my patience time and time again,” Leng Yuhe said, “Wanna see what I’ll do when I hate a person?”
Su Ruoqing closed her eyes in despair.
She couldn’t escape the disaster.
Rather than being insulted by this man and then dying miserably, she would… commit suicide.
She supported herself against the ground and stood up wobbly.
Leng Yuhe was staring at her calmly.
Su Ruoqing hung her head and put her slender fingers on the buttons.
One, two… The delicate and small collarbones were gradually exposed.
Leng Yuhe looked down, appreciating leisurely.
But Su Ruoqing’s sight fell on the sharp corner of the table. If she throw herself against it, she would definitely die instantly.
She closed her eyes and made up her mind.
The moment the third button was unfastened, she suddenly gather her strength and slammed herself toward the corner of the table!
