Chapter 658: Actor

As Ye Lun spoke, the earlier gloom in his eyes seemed to have melted into a pool of water; gentle and provocative.

What he was thinking... was obvious to the eye.

He was smiling.

Xiang Wan couldn’t breathe for a moment and didn’t dare to look at his eyes.

This was the thing that she was most worried about.

She had been trying her best to not behave like a ‘woman’ so as to reduce the risk of being a sexual target. She didn’t ask to get a bath, tolerating being in this state. It was lucky that the weather was still as cold... so the discomfort was still tolerable.

“What are you thinking?”

Ye Lun laughed at her response.

“I’ve never seen another woman as strange as you.”

Xiang Wan pressed her lips tightly without showing much emotion. However, her heart was pounding with unease.

This Ye Lun, not only did he know how to act, he must have learnt how to seduce women as well.

Those eyes of his seemed to be filled with deep emotions. That could make anyone misunderstand that he had fallen in love with them...

Xiang Wan looked away and snorted coldly. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Ye Lun puffed a sigh with a smile. “Generally, when a woman heard such a request from a man, no matter good or bad, she would show some emotions. But you... you don’t have any emotion. What are you thinking about?” He drew closer again, his lips almost touching Xiang Wan’s lips. “Are you thinking about how you could get away from me? Or thinking about what to do so both of us can have a more enjoyable time?”

“...”

“Say something!” Ye Lun gripped her chin and forced her to look up at him.

For the past few days, he had been doing this action to her forcefully.

Xiang Wan stared at him coldly. “I was thinking, what was the reason for you to be so hungry that you’re not picky or choosy? Didn’t you notice... I haven’t bathed and washed my hair for days that there’s a bad smell on my head?”

“...” Ye Lun was startled for a moment.

“I don’t mind.” He laughed again as he knew what she was up to. “The beauty’s perspiration is scented; the dirt on the beauty... of course, it’s also scented.”

“...”

Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows and showed a disdainful expression.

“You’re a dashing and handsome celebrity, can’t you have some taste?”

Ye Lun felt that there wasn’t much resistance in her emotions and sneaked a laugh. “From what you say, it’s not that you’re unwilling but... you feel that you need a good bath?”

Xiang Wan returned a cold snort. “You should give me a place where I can bath, wash my hair and clean myself up? You don’t have to put up with all these smells, it doesn’t fit your status at all.”

“You’re right!” Ye Lun pinched her fair face. “I’ll get my men to prepare this. But this place is not that convenient. You have to bear with the conditions here...”

This place is not convenient? thought Xiang Wan, where is this place then?

Ye Lun saw that her eyes perked up with interest and let out a chuckle. “Woman, your eyes have betrayed you... it exposed your not so pure intentions. Are you thinking of trying to escape? Hur... this is interesting. I like it!”

Xiang Wan felt goosebumps all over.

She couldn’t quite take Ye Lun’s mushy words and attitude as well as his seemingly intimate actions with her...

But she knew that she shouldn’t show her displeasure so as not to provoke him. “Thank you then! But since I’m no different from being put under house arrest, I will be yours whenever you want... Cheng Zheng, on the other hand, since he’s already here, you’re not in a hurry to see him?”

“No hurry!” Ye Lun’s voice sounded relaxed. “These things are not as important as beautiful women. As the saying goes, a night of romance with a girl beautiful like a peony, even if it means death, a happy death it shall be... There won’t be much difference as I can always see him later.”

Xiang Wan sneered. “I have to thank you but I’m not a peony...”

“Mm! You’re a rose with thorns... that could claim lives!” Ye Lun squeezed her chin with his fingers flirtatiously. “Be good and wait!”

He looked at Xiang Wan meaningfully and wanted to get up when a sound came from his walkie-talkie.

Someone was looking for him.

Ye Lun seemed irritated. “What’s up?”

“That person wants to see you right now! He said he has something very important and that he must talk to you right away...”

That person... should be Cheng Zheng?

When Xiang Wan made that guess, Ye Lun’s line of sight fell on her.

That affirmed what she had guessed.

Ye Lun snorted a laugh. “Heard that? He’s more anxious than me...” Then he turned away and talked via the walkie-talkie. “Alright, tell him that I’ll come right away.”

“Roger!”

...

The room was silent for a moment before Ye Lun smiled. “Looks like tonight is not a good time.”

He pulled his collar then he turned to smile at Xiang Wan. “I’ll be meeting your lover now. After I settle this matter, it will be a double blessing when we get together then.”

Xiang Wan just looked at him without saying a word.

Ye Lun smiled. “You’re embarrassed?”

Xiang Wan replied, “I really don’t know what to say.”

That was the truth.

What could she say, facing such a person?

Ye Lun asked, “So what are you thinking about?”

“I don’t think it would be nice to tell you about it?”

Ye Lun raised an eyebrow. “Why?”

Xiang Wan responded, “I’m worried that you might not be able to take it.”

Ye Lun held her shoulders and smiled, behaving as if he was close with her. “Tell me about it.”

Xiang Wan pressed her lips and opened her mouth. “I was thinking – could it be that this silly fellow really thinks that every woman out there likes him?”

Ye Lun: “...”

Well, that ‘thought’ she had was rather mean.

Ye Lun was startled for a moment before giving a chortle. “This is very realistic and interesting.”

As what she said was something that was interesting and realistic enough, and the fact that she did not deliberately try to please him or resist him, he did not make things difficult for Xiang Wan. He glanced at her with a half-smile and left the room.

Xiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief after he left and collapsed feebly on the bed.

The experience earlier felt like a nightmare that she couldn’t get it out of her mind. At this moment, she felt she was burned out. All these calmness and restrain of emotions were all of her way of defending herself amidst all those frightening experiences she had. In fact, she didn’t know that her methods would work but she had to try her best... Just earlier, she could read that Ye Lun did want to bed her. The emotions in the eyes of men wouldn’t lie.

Now that she thought of it, she could still feel the fear.

She had a narrow escape and was back to life again.

Still, her heart was in her throat as she looked at this tiny room that held her captive.

And remained quiet.

When Ye Lun went out of the room, he closed the door, as well as the lights.

Leaving the originally tiny and cramped room without any light...

A dark environment not only let people feel fear, but it was also easy to make people think of all kinds of things.

Xiang Wan hugged her head and thought of many things.

She thought about Bai Muchuan, thought about Cheng Zheng...

What was Bai Muchuan doing now?

Was he thinking of ways to save her or searching for her whereabouts?

During this period that she was not with him, did he take his meals properly? Could he still maintain his calm demeanor at work?

Why hadn’t he come yet? Was it because he didn’t know her location or were there other concerns?

And there’s also Cheng Zheng. What was the point of putting all his eggs in one basket?... Wasn’t it meaningless?

This was not worth it all! She felt it was not worth putting himself in danger for the sake of her.

Xiang Wan felt restless.

In this room, there were only four walls.

And she was all alone.

There was no sound at all.

While she was here, she knew nothing of what was happening.
