The Billionaire's Priceless Darling: 33 Days of the CEO's Pursuit - Chapter 120 - The Imprisonment Has Just Begun 3

Gu Xiaoai sat up in bed, only to realize she had been changed into a nightgown. Glancing at the clock on the bedside table, she saw that she had been unconscious since last night and had only woken up this afternoon.

Li Juefeng.

Just the thought of his name made her grit her teeth in frustration.

She had once believed that as long as she played the role of a mistress well, her days by Li Juefeng’s side wouldn’t be unbearable. But she had overlooked one crucial fact-

Li Juefeng was a capricious jerk!

Housekeeper Tong moved to help her stand, but Gu Xiaoai pushed her away firmly, her tone cold. “I’m not crippled.”

“…That’s not what I meant.” Housekeeper Tong’s face flushed with awkwardness.

Gu Xiaoai had always been polite to Housekeeper Tong. But now, her heart was brimming with anger and resentment, and even her words were laced with sharp thorns. It wasn’t like her at all.

“I don’t need help, thank you.” She stiffly added, forcing a strained smile at Housekeeper Tong.

“Alright, just be careful then.” Housekeeper Tong smiled kindly, unfazed by her attitude.

The chain attached to the handcuffs was heavy, about a meter long. Gu Xiaoai practically dragged it as she made her way to the bathroom. Her body still felt weak, as if she might collapse at any moment.

In the mirror, her pale and haggard reflection stared back at her.

The faint marks that had finally faded were now reappearing on her neck, her chest…

Last night, Li Juefeng’s actions had been the most brutal yet, a deliberate torment meant to break her.

But she wouldn’t let him keep her imprisoned like this. She wouldn’t give in.

After finishing in the bathroom, Gu Xiaoai opened the door, and Housekeeper Tong’s slightly wrinkled face immediately came into view.

Housekeeper Tong stood right outside the bathroom door, smiling warmly at her. “Miss Gu, why don’t you go lie down and rest?”

Gu Xiaoai glanced down at where Housekeeper Tong’s feet were planted.

If the door hadn’t been opened, Housekeeper Tong would have been standing pressed right up against it.

“Are you spying on me?” Gu Xiaoai’s eyes widened as she demanded in a cold voice, “Did Li Juefeng tell you to monitor me?!”

She had only gone to the bathroom, yet Housekeeper Tong had been standing right outside the door. The thought made her deeply uncomfortable.

“Miss Gu, Mr. Li is just concerned about you,” Housekeeper Tong replied with a smile. “The doctor said your body is weak. I was worried about you being alone in the bathroom.”
