However, when she reached the side door, she found it closed.

This won’t do. Now that she’s here, she can’t back down.

Su Yutang looked up at the two-meter-high wall, gritted his teeth, and decided to climb over it.

She used her hands and feet and mustered all her strength to climb up the wall. She looked down at the lawn outside, gritted her teeth and jumped down again.

As a result, she twisted her ankle when she came down and hissed in pain.

After finally leaving the cage, Su Yutang limped out even though she had sprained her ankle.

Just when she thought she had successfully climbed over the wall, a cold voice came from behind her.

"Tangtang, it's so late, it's so dangerous to climb over the wall."

Su Yutang's blood instantly froze.

She turned around slowly and saw Xiao Hengyu, who was supposed to be "asleep", standing in the moonlight with a terrifyingly gloomy look in his eyes.

"You...why aren't you sleeping?" Her voice trembled.

Xiao Hengyu approached step by step, his leather shoes making a slight rustling sound on the grass, and his face was colder than ever.

In fact, he knew it when Su Yutang took the sleeping pills from Dr. Zhang. He had replaced the sleeping pills with vitamins in advance, and he was pretending to be asleep just now, just to see what this little fox wanted to do.

As expected, it was another escape.

Su Yutang's back hit the cold wall, with nowhere to retreat.

Xiao Hengyu reached out and brushed her cheek with his fingertips. His strength was gentle, but his eyes were dangerous: "Tangtang, I thought you had changed... So, all this time, your gentleness was just an act. You cooked for me for so many days, was that also fake?"

Su Yutang turned her face away: "Don't come over..."

"Are you scared now?" He suddenly grabbed her wrist, his voice low and suppressed, "I see you've never taken me seriously!"

This time, he was really angry.

In the master bedroom.

Su Yutang was tied to a chair, her wrists bound with soft silk, unable to break free.

"Xiao Hengyu! You pervert! Let me go!" She struggled, and the chair legs made a harsh sound as they scraped against the floor.

Xiao Hengyu stood in front of the window with his back to her, his shoulders tense.

He needed to teach her a lesson.

Otherwise, she would only think about escaping.

But he still felt pain in his heart, so he simply didn't go to see her.

After a long time, he turned around and looked down at her: "Do you know you are wrong?"

Su Yutang gritted her teeth: "I'm not wrong!"

Xiao Hengyu's eyes darkened, and he suddenly leaned over, supporting himself with his hands on the armrests of the chair, trapping her in a small space.

"Then we'll just wait and see." His voice was hoarse, "until you learn what 'obedience' means."

The two men confronted each other for two days and two nights.

During these two days, the air was filled with silent smoke of gunpowder.

Su Yutang was tied to a chair, her lips were chapped and her face was pale, but she still stared at Xiao Hengyu, her eyes as stubborn as a knife.

"Have a bite." Xiao Hengyu held the porridge and put the spoon to her lips.

But she turned her face away and didn't even look at him.

"Drink some water." He changed the water to warm water and placed the rim of the cup against her cracked lips.

She clenched her teeth, the water slid down her chin and soaked her collar, but she refused to drink a sip.

She was threatening him with his life.

As long as he didn't let her go, she would rather die of hunger and thirst.

Xiao Hengyu's knuckles were clenched white, and his eyes were filled with rage and powerlessness.

He never thought that one day he would be forced to this point, and by an unarmed woman.

"What do you want?" he asked in a softer tone.

Su Yutang raised her eyes weakly, her voice as light as a feather: "Let me go... Otherwise, I will die here."

Xiao Hengyu had no way to deal with her.

She would rather die than stay with him.

Early morning on the third day.

Su Yutang's breathing became weaker and weaker, her head tilted weakly to one side, and she was about to faint.

Xiao Hengyu finally surrendered.

Before she fainted, he caught her falling body, his arms shaking and his voice hoarse: "Tangtang... I lost to you!"

Su Yutang half-closed her eyes, her consciousness blurred, but she still asked persistently: "Are you...willing to let me go?"

Xiao Hengyu gritted his teeth, each word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Okay... I'll let you go!"

The corners of Su Yutang's lips rose slightly, and finally fell into darkness.

Medical room.

After Dr. Zhang injected Su Yutang with the nutrient solution, he sighed, "Mr. Xiao, her health is already poor and she can't stand it anymore... If she continues like this, something bad will happen."

Xiao Hengyu stood beside the bed, staring at her pale face, and said after a while: "I know."

At this moment, he admitted defeat.

Completely defeated by her.

three days later.

Su Yutang slowly opened her eyes and finally woke up again.

Her face was still pale and her lips were chapped, but she was conscious.

Beside the bed, Xiao Hengyu was holding a bowl of warm porridge. When he saw her open her eyes, his expression relaxed slightly, and he scooped a spoonful and handed it to her lips.

"Eat something first."

His voice was low, but much softer than usual. "You've been relying on nutritional injections these days, and your stomach is empty. The doctor said to drink something easily digestible first."

Su Yutang looked at him without opening her mouth.

She remembered what he said before he fainted, "Let you go", but now, she was still here.

Did he regret it?

Xiao Hengyu noticed her vigilance, his eyes dimmed slightly, but he still said patiently: "Drink quickly, wait until you recover, then I will let you go, otherwise even if I let you go, you will die on the way."

Hearing this, Su Yutang pursed her lips, finally slowly opened her mouth and swallowed the spoonful of porridge.

After finishing a bowl of porridge, her complexion finally looked better, her stomach felt warm, and she felt a little more energetic.

She raised her eyes and asked bluntly: "Xiao Hengyu, when are you going to let me go?"

Xiao Hengyu's hand paused slightly.

He did not answer immediately, but stood up, walked to the window, turned his back to her, and remained silent for a long time.

Su Yutang's heart sank little by little.

Did he really regret it?

"Do you really want to escape from me?" He suddenly spoke, with a hint of depression in his voice that she had never heard before, "Have I been bad to you these days?"

Su Yutang was stunned.

Is he not nice to her?

To be fair, although Xiao Hengyu was overbearing, paranoid, and even unreasonable at times, he had never really hurt her in any substantial way.

He gave her the best food, clothing, shelter and transportation, indulged her temper, and even in the end, he compromised.

"You've been so good to me," she whispered. "But I don't want to stay here forever. I want to go home and find my family."

Xiao Hengyu laughed, turned around and stared at her: "You don't want to stay with me forever, right?"

Su Yutang pursed her lips and said nothing.

Silence is the default.

Xiao Hengyu's heart sank little by little. Finally, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some kind of decision.

His voice was hoarse. "Okay, I promise to let you go, but..."
