I didn't say anything, and Ye Guang certainly wouldn't either; the only possibility is that Teacher knows.
But if Xiao Minxing could find out the truth from Teacher, then Teacher should also know that the person who picks me up every day values me. How could he dare to treat a student with such indifference as he did today?
While I was still trying to figure this out, he spoke again: "By the way, it's still that person who sent you the painting, right?"
I could only ask the person involved: "How do you know?"
Xiao Minxing let out a cold laugh and provocatively glanced at me, saying, "I even know what size underwear you wear; how could I miss such a small trick?"
His words caught me off guard, and I inhaled sharply, my face burning.
I really don't understand this person; he knows everything about me, while these things are merely tools he uses to control me. Sometimes I wonder why he spends so much time studying me when his job seems busy enough and the pressure looks considerable.
I'm actually a very simple person. Over the years, aside from loving him, I haven't done anything earth-shattering. All my thoughts and intelligence have been focused on him; otherwise, I wouldn't be in a position where I can't even find a job now.
When we got home, I went to cook while Xiao Minxing went upstairs to take a shower.
When he came down, he said, "You don't need to go tomorrow; come with me."
I put down my chopsticks and asked him, "Where are we going?"
He didn't answer and continued eating.
Just when I thought this question would go unanswered again, he added, "The company wants to develop a piece of land on the outskirts of Haicheng. We're going to check it out in advance."
Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled by someone from their company?
As an outsider who knows nothing about it, going with him seems more like a hindrance than anything else. Of course, if he's looking for fun or wants to show off his sharp tongue, then I'm the perfect candidate.
However, I had already made plans with Mina last week to go out this weekend. Now that plans have changed at the last minute, I can only call her again.
As soon as she heard that Xiao Minxing was taking me to the outskirts, she immediately asked nervously, "Just the two of you? He wouldn't be planning something malicious again, would he? What time are you leaving tomorrow? Should I follow behind and keep an eye on you?"
I smiled and said, "No need for that. Besides, he knows your car. If you follow him, it will only make him angrier. We don't want to stir up trouble when he wasn't planning anything in the first place."
Mina said urgently, "We can't be careless, dear. He's notorious for being ruthless in our circle, and I've heard he's been getting close to the Lu Family lately. There's even a rumor going around that they're discussing marriage. Who knows if he might try to lure you out and make you disappear at this time?"
Her words sent chills down my spine, especially the part about discussing marriage with the Lu Family.
Since that fight, I hadn't seen Lu Yishan again. Xiao Minxing returned home on time every day and barely answered calls. I had no idea how they had gotten close or to what extent; I thought things were improving, but it turned out that the most terrifying events always happened when I least expected them.
After hanging up with her, I felt cold all over, almost as if my soul had left my body.
Xiao Minxing had just come out of the bathroom and glanced at me casually before picking up a book from the nightstand and flipping through it.
The more I looked at him, the more suspicious he seemed. I didn't even dare to take a shower; I was still holding my mobile phone and stood two meters away from him, asking, "Where's Lu Yishan?"
He didn't even look up, his jaw tightening as he asked another question: "Who were you on the phone with just now?"
"How did you know?" I asked nervously.
Xiao Minxing didn't answer but pressed on with the previous topic: "Tell me."
Thinking back to how Mina almost lost her job because of me last time, I didn't dare to tell him the truth now. But aside from her, I couldn't think of anyone else to mention and could only remain silent.
Xiao Minxing was clearly angry. When he finally raised his head, his expression had changed, and his tone was icy cold: "Qiu Yuhan, if you're forcing me to cut off your social circle as well, I'd be more than happy to do so."
His words were a bit long, and I was too nervous to grasp their meaning fully, so I just asked, "What?"
He slammed the book shut with a loud thud and tossed it aside, saying, "Come here."
I said that as long as he did this, I would be done for, with no strength left to resist. It was the same now; I had completely lost my autonomy and slowly walked towards him.
He took my mobile phone and quickly made a call on speakerphone.
I saw Mina's name prominently displayed on the screen, and even her name felt tense.
The phone rang twice before Mina picked up.
Xiao Minxing spoke bluntly, "Miss Mina, if you continue to incite my wife to argue with me, don't blame me for being rude. This circle is small; even with Zhuo Feng protecting you, it won't help."
There was no response from her side, and he hung up the phone. Then he asked me fiercely, "Are you satisfied?"
He followed up with, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
I felt like I was losing my mind, struggling to find the point in my words. I was genuinely worried about Mina, but what came out of my mouth was, "Are you going to marry Lu Yishan?"
He looked at me as if I were a monster for a full half minute before finally nodding and saying "Mm."
My heart sank to the bottom; it was hard to breathe, and everything went white in front of me. I couldn't see anything as if my consciousness had been pulled away.
But Xiao Minxing's voice still reached me: "I'm marrying her, then giving you a chance to accuse me of bigamy. Haven't you thought about this for a long time? Now the opportunity has come; are you surprised? Is it unexpected?"
What kind of nonsense is this? Is it real or fake?
I didn't understand; he wouldn't explain it to me. I might as well wash up and go to sleep, hoping to think of a good way to leave him before dawn to avoid being killed and disposed of.
Of course, when I lay down, I couldn't sleep at all.
His words and Mina's words echoed in my mind like a spell, replaying endlessly.
Lying on my side by the bed was exhausting, so I started to turn over.
At first, I faced the ceiling, but soon I felt that lying flat was also tiring, so I turned again.
Xiao Minxing was right in front of me; he was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book, his brows slightly furrowed and his gaze focused. The light from the desk lamp illuminated the pages, creating a beautiful halo that also reflected on his face.
Such a good-looking person, who would believe in his malice?
Not daring to look any longer, I turned away again.
Then, like a pancake, I had to flip over almost every few minutes. As the night deepened, my fear gradually intensified, making me uneasy in bed.
Unable to hold on any longer, I got up and quietly walked outside.
Just as I reached the entrance, Xiao Minxing called out to me, "Where are you going?"
"I can't sleep, I'm going for a walk," I said with my back turned, trying to keep my voice calm to avoid provoking his anger.
To my surprise, the tyrant said, "It's cold outside; wear an extra layer."
I responded with an "oh," turned around to grab my coat from the hanger, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw that he had already gotten out of bed and was walking towards me.
