Chapter 31 No Means No!
After an unknown period of time, the sound of struggling limbs could be heard in the quiet night.
Ye Xingguang looked over. Under the moonlight, the manâs brows were already tightly furrowed. It was obvious that he couldnât care less about his dignity and prestige as a demon king. He almost exerted all his strength to break free from the restraints on his body.
âHow about I help you remove the chains?â Ye Xingguang asked.
âNo.â Ye Junqing refused firmly.
âBut I see that youâre in so much painâ¦â As Ye Xingguang spoke, he had already moved the blanket on the manâs body to the side. When he was caught off guard, she saw that his wrists had been scrapped because of his struggle. Judging from the red marks, he must have been struggling secretly. He just didnât make any sound.
âStop enduring it. Whereâs the key? Iâll unlock the chains for you, or your wrists will be bruised. Itâs already purple now.â
Ye Junqing gritted his teeth so hard that he shook. He used his strong willpower to stop himself from struggling. âNo means no!â
âWhy are you so stubborn? If you leave a wound on your wrist, those unscrupulous media companies might tell the public that I abused you tomorrow when they find out.â Ye Xingguang said shamelessly. Perhaps what she said was too funny, his tensed cheeks trembled terribly.
Seeing that she was looking around for the keys, Ye Junqing frowned. He couldnât understand this troublesome mermaid. She used to be so annoying and hated him. Even if he died in the wilderness, she probably wouldnât feel sorry for him. And now, she was acting like she cared about him. Who was she trying to show this to?
âFound it. Is this it?â
Ye Xingguang found four metal keys strung together in the drawer of the coffee table beside the couch.
Ye Junqing glanced at her and his eyes darkened. âNo.â
âLooks like it is.â
Ye Xingguang held the keys and crouched in front of him, trying one key after another. In the end, she did unlock the chain around his left foot.
âYe Xingguang!â
Ye Junqingâs deep gaze landed on the top of the girlâs head as he pursed his pale lips. âI advise you not to provoke me or unlock the chains for me. Otherwise, youâll regret it.â
Ye Xingguang thought, âItâs alright, I have the Medicine of Regret!â
So, she didnât hesitate to remove the chains.
Damn it, this woman!
The man who was freed didnât feel grateful at all. Instead, he wished he could strangle Ye Xingguang to death.
However, Ye Junqingâs real action was to get up suddenly, push her away and walk out. He could no longer stay in the same room with her. Ye Junqing didnât forget how much she used to be afraid of him and hate himâ¦
Ye Xingguang was worried. She chased after him and asked, âHey, where are you going?â
Ye Junqing shouted, âStop following me!â
If she didnât want to leave, he would!
âDo you think I want to care about you? Itâs all because youâre the man I picked. Since youâre the man I picked, I canât let the Civil Affairs Bureau see anything wrong even if I want to cry. Who knows if the Civil Affairs Bureau will come for a home visit tomorrow?â
Ye Junqing was like a beast avoiding a flood. He ran from the third floor to the first floor, trying to leave this villa.
When he walked to the living room, his tall and big body staggered. Ye Xingguang was like a small rocket as she rushed over and exerted all her strength to help the cold man to sit on the couch in the living room.
She used both her hands to press on Ye Junqingâs broad shoulders, not allowing him to get up. âStay away from me, orâ¦â
Ye Junqing suppressed his anger. Before he finished talking, his hands that had become stiff after being restrained had already pulled Ye Xingguang into his arms like a pillowâ¦
