“What are you doing?” Gu Xiaoai sat up abruptly from the soft bed, panic written all over her face.

He… he actually put handcuffs on her?!

Even the police at the police station hadn’t cuffed her, so what gave him the right to do this?!

“What am I doing? Isn’t it obvious?” Li Juefeng sneered coldly, casually locking the other end of the handcuffs to the bedpost. Standing by the bed, he leaned down, his hands pressing firmly on the mattress. “Gu Xiaoai, I’ve been far too lenient with you before.”

There was a chilling ruthlessness in his eyes.

His looming figure cast a shadow over her, oppressive and suffocating.

Suddenly, she felt as if she had been transported back to their first encounter, when he had arrogantly and forcefully claimed her. The look in his eyes back then… it was exactly the same as now.

“You… what exactly do you want?” she stammered, fearfully inching backward. The diamond chain dragged softly across the bedding, making a faint sound.

“To imprison you.” He grabbed her chin with one hand, forcing her to tilt her head up and meet his gaze. His thin lips moved with cold precision. “Until your body has fully recovered, don’t even think about leaving this villa.”

Gu Xiaoai let out a breath of relief. So, he just wanted her to recover?

Imprisonment? What a scare for nothing.

“My injuries are minor; there’s no need for special care,” Gu Xiaoai said, forcing a strained smile. “It’s just a few scrapes. Thank you for your concern, but I’m really fine…”

Thank you for your concern?

Did she seriously think he was concerned about her?

This girl… was she getting ahead of herself?

“Gu Xiaoai, see? This is what happens when I spoil you… you get dumber by the day.” His grip tightened, sending a sharp pain through her jaw.

“What do you mean?” Ignoring the ache in her chin, alarm bells rang in her mind.

“Did you really think tonight’s events would just blow over? How naive.” Li Juefeng sneered, giving her cheek a condescending pat before straightening up, ready to leave.

Tonight’s events?

Was he referring to what happened before he threw her out of the car?

Could it be… the scene where she caught him and Su Xuanxuan in their illicit act?

“What did I do wrong tonight?” Gu Xiaoai, ignoring the pain in her injured knees, knelt on the bed and shouted indignantly. “Would you rather Su Xuanxuan’s husband had caught you two in the act? Started a brawl and made headlines in the tabloids?”

She truly couldn’t understand what about this situation had made him so furious.

Or was it that he’d prefer to see her, as the so-called mistress, throwing a jealous fit and drawing malicious attention from others?

Li Juefeng’s back stiffened.

He turned abruptly, his hand swinging back. The back of his hand struck her face directly with a resounding “smack-”

Gu Xiaoai was sent sprawling onto the bed from the force of the blow.
