Chapter 25: Sweet Fiancés
Tang Ze felt no pity. He placed his hands on her smooth, slender legs. “Look at me.”
Seeing no reaction from Ye Qingyi, he said calmly, “I don’t like to repeat myself.”
Her tear-reddened eyes slowly met his. Tang Ze saw a lingering defiance and hatred deep within them.
Suddenly, a familiar ringtone sounded, a video call.
Sun Ting glanced at Ye Qingyi’s phone and smiled. “It’s your fiancé.”
These words made Ye Qingyi panic. She quickly said, “Don’t answer!”
“But how can we not? Your fiancé is worried about your safety. I’ll answer for you. You can talk to him yourself.”
Sun Ting answered the call and handed the phone to Ye Qingyi, who had no time to hang up. Her fiancé’s face appeared on the screen.
Jiang Zihui’s worried voice immediately came from the phone. “Yiyi, why didn’t you reply to my messages? I thought something had happened to you! I was so worried! Why are you crying? What happened?”
Hearing her fiancé’s concerned voice, Ye Qingyi felt a wave of unease.
“Nothing, I’m just scared.”
Ye Qingyi held back her tears and forced a smile, assuring her fiancé that she was fine.
Jiang Zihui’s heart ached. As a man, he couldn’t protect his fiancée. “I’m sorry. I hate myself for being so useless, unable to bring you here, leaving you scared all day.”
Ye Qingyi’s expression remained flawless. She said gently, “Silly, don’t blame yourself. We’ll be fine.”
“Okay, don’t cry.”
“I’m not crying anymore.”
Suddenly, Jiang Zihui noticed that his fiancée looked particularly beautiful tonight. “Yiyi, why are you wearing makeup?”
“Because I didn’t reply to your messages, I was afraid you’d be angry. So I put on some makeup, so you could see a beautiful me.”
A faint smile appeared on Tang Ze’s lips. This woman, when lying to her man, her IQ goes through the roof.
“You’re the most beautiful woman in the world.”
Sun Ting scoffed and whispered to An Bai, “Classic scumbag line.”
“Yeah, I’ve heard it before too.”
Jiang Zihui’s words filled Ye Qingyi with shame. She had betrayed the man she loved.
“Zi Hui, you should rest. I’m going to rest too.”
Ye Qingyi was afraid of making any strange noises that would arouse her fiancé’s suspicion, so she didn’t want to say more.
Jiang Zihui blew a kiss at the screen, making the others scoff.
Tang Ze smiled faintly. “Such a loving couple, so enviable. I like your body very much, but I don’t like your eyes.”
“I don’t need you to like me.”
Ye Qingyi said coldly.
Tang Ze chuckled. “You seem to be more afraid of them than of me. Why is that?”
Ye Qingyi didn’t answer, her face pale with pain.
Tang Ze reached out, gripped her chin, and said calmly, “They might threaten to tell your fiancé about your situation, but I won’t. I’ll just find your fiancé and kill his whole family. You’ve seen what I’m capable of.”
“You’re a monster!”
Ye Qingyi grabbed Tang Ze’s clothes and yelled. She was terrified.
“When did I ever say I was human? I’m a devil among devils, and a rather lecherous one at that.”
Ye Qingyi couldn’t imagine what would happen if her fiancé found out. He would even kill Zihui’s whole family. Remembering his ruthless killing spree, she didn’t doubt his words.
“From now on, you’ll eat their leftovers. If you behave, you might get the same treatment as them. Now, do you understand what you need to do?”
The next day, Ye Qingyi woke up groggily, her first thought being whether she was dead. Seeing her surroundings, she realized she wasn’t dead, but still in hell. Remembering the humiliation from last night, she wanted to cry, but found she couldn’t.
Her sister and brother-in-law were brutally murdered at home, and she had ended up like this. Looking at the door not far away, she thought of escaping.
But as soon as she moved, a sharp pain shot through her abdomen. I should have given it to my fiancé earlier.
Enduring the pain, she slowly moved, the clinking of the chains waking the two women sleeping beside her.
Sun Ting yawned and said indifferently, “Seems like you haven’t learned your lesson.”
Ye Qingyi had become a vice president, although with her fiancé’s help, she was still intelligent.
In this situation, her only option was to endure and wait for an opportunity. She would never submit…
“No, I’m just a little hungry.”
Ye Qingyi quickly explained.
An Bai chuckled. “It’s not time to eat yet. Master hasn’t woken up.”
Ye Qingyi noticed that An Bai and Sun Ting were different. Sun Ting was Tang Ze’s most loyal follower, but An Bai seemed different, as if she, like Ye Qingyi, was also being oppressed.
Perhaps she could find a breakthrough here.
