NOVPUBXu Lianggen followed at a leisurely pace. “Aren’t you curious?”
Shen Roujia frowned. “Curious about what?”
Xu Lianggen bent down and leaned closer. “Curious about why everything lined up so perfectly this time?”
Feeling disgusted, Shen Roujia turned her head away. “Even a fool can tell that everything was arranged by you.”
“Why did you come here to see me? Are you here to show off like a child, boasting about how clever your scheme is?”
Xu Lianggen’s smile faded momentarily as he harshly grabbed Shen Roujia’s chin. “Don’t be ungrateful. Right now, I’m the only one who can save your life. If you obediently listen to me, your life will be spared.”
Shen Roujia suddenly bit down hard on Xu Lianggen’s hand, then quickly stood up and rammed her forehead against his chin. The impact made him stumble, unable to straighten his back.
“Who do you think you are? How ridiculous! Do you really think I’m someone who’s afraid of death?”
Xu Lianggen clutched his chin in pain, completely caught off guard by Shen Roujia’s fierce response.
But rather than anger, a strong desire to conquer her arose within him. He wanted to possess the woman in front of him.
This overwhelming urge was stronger than anything he had ever felt, even more exhilarating than the struggle for the throne.
Xu Lianggen sneered, “Do you think anyone else can save you? That crippled man?”
He straightened up with some difficulty. “I’ve already brought back his so-called benefactor. Before long, the two will reunite and fall in love. People will soon forget about you.”
Shen Roujia paused. “What benefactor? Rong Shuyao? Why is she a fake?”
Xu Lianggen threw his head back in laughter. “It seems you have no idea about this matter. Or perhaps you never really cared?” 𝒏𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝒄𝙤𝙢
Seeing the confusion on Shen Roujia’s face, Xu Lianggen began to have some doubts.
