Chapter 30: Make Her Be A Dog
Liang Chaosu asked her, “What are you happy about?”
Liancheng’s heart skipped a beat. Did he see her with Tai Duoduo?
Then she remembered that after leaving the White Jade Capital’s main gate, she hadn’t asked any more questions. At that time, she was afraid that if she asked too many, Tai Duoduo would inevitably become suspicious.
She couldn’t help but feel fortunate at this moment.
Liang Chaosu’s mind was like a net. She had escaped multiple times. In his eyes, her identification documents were like a radar to detect her. As long as she mentioned them for no reason, he would immediately become alert.
“I’m not happy.”
Liang Chaosu’s gaze was gloomy, “Singing and dancing joyfully in the middle of the night, am I blind?”
As expected, he saw it, and probably for quite a long time.
Liancheng did not make a sound.
Liang Chaosu’s expression became more dangerous. The main lighting shifted from red to blue, making his face appear faintly green, “Are you happy that the private room was shameless? Did you suddenly realize you like being Feifei’s dog?”
Liancheng lost her expression, “Aren’t you happy that I’m a dog?”
“I am happy,” Liang Chaosu said without a smile, no longer even pretending. “If you want to be a dog, continue being one. But if you think that by being a dog, you can get Shen Lichuan to protect you, then you should give up on that idea early.”
Liancheng fell silent.
So, after the party ended, he still blocked her way. He was here to warn her on behalf of Liang Wenfei.
Then why, when she was in the private room, did she have the illusion that Liang Chaosu was standing up for her?
If someone steps on your face and asks if it hurts, you truly believe they are concerned about you.
Liancheng suddenly laughed. How pathetic, how truly pathetic she was.
“What are you laughing at?” Frost formed on Liang Chaosu’s face. “Thinking of Shen Lichuan protecting you, so happy that you burst into laughter?”
“No,” Liancheng looked at him. “I just think you don’t need to be so defensive. If you think my vow of life and death just now wasn’t enough, I’ll go back now and make an even bigger one.”
Liancheng was actually superstitious. Life and death were too heavy to be spoken lightly.
She had avoided making vows many times in the past, always feeling that it wouldn’t come to this.
But how could it not come to this?
It was her obscured vision, her words saying her heart was dead and she was calm, yet her heart still held a ridiculous hope.
These past few days, Liang Chaosu’s actions had been like slaps that had shattered all these illusory bubbles.
If she still couldn’t let go, Liancheng felt she didn’t need to run anymore. She could just lie on the bed, spread her legs, become Liang Chaosu’s sex doll, and then be passed on by him, her lifetime spent lying on countless beds.
Liang Chaosu’s expression was no longer tense.
He wanted to say something, but his sharp eyes noticed Liancheng trembling slightly. He couldn’t help but frown, wanting to scold her.
But he glanced at what Liancheng was wearing.
It was the chilly early winter. She was wrapped up tightly, layer upon layer.
Her entire body was in black and gray, with only her fair and tender little face exposed. It wasn’t that she deliberately dressed thinly, but she was feeling the cold.
Moreover, Liancheng’s dress had always put him at ease. She was always conservative, not revealing her figure or charm. Her allure and sultriness were only revealed in bed.
It was a bloom seen only by him.
“Cold?” His voice also softened. “Get in the car.”
Liang Chaosu picked up the remote control and turned up the temperature inside the car.
“I still have colleagues…”
“Am I a good-tempered person?” Liang Chaosu’s hand paused. He stared at her through the car window. “Get in the car.”
Liancheng didn’t say any more. She opened the door and got in the car. On her mobile phone, she sent an apology message to Maitreya Buddha.
The vehicle drove out of the street corner, and she saw it turning towards the west city.
A cold sweat broke out on Liancheng’s back. “This isn’t the way home.”
She spoke first, breaking the invisible stalemate.
Liang Chaosu couldn’t hold back anymore. He pulled her over and pressed her into his arms, his thumb caressing her lips.
His eyes churned with many indiscernible dark currents, as if he had thousands of words to say.
Liancheng froze like a popsicle. Was he going to settle accounts with her for what happened in the private room?
In the blink of an eye, he reined in his emotions.
“We’re not going back tonight.”
Liancheng’s heart sank to the bottom.
Liang Chaosu seemed to practice abstinence, but in reality, he was lustful. She had pretended to be on her menstrual period for seven days this time, and then another week had passed.
Now that she was staying out all night, he had probably endured enough and was about to vent.
He disliked the restrictions at the Liang family’s place, where he couldn’t fully indulge.
It was better to settle accounts with her.
Liancheng said, “My mother forbids me from staying out all night.”
This rule was actually to prevent her from hooking up with Shen Lichuan at night and having something happen.
Liancheng had protested then, but she hadn’t expected that not long after, she would be grateful for this rule.
“Why aren’t you calling me Mom anymore?”
Liancheng paused. She had let go, accepting that Mother Liang was no longer her mother. But she didn’t expect that he could latch onto such a simple term of address so quickly.
She felt increasingly that he was as fine as hair, meticulous and not easy to deceive.
“I’m old now. ‘Mom’ is what children call their mothers.”
Liang Chaosu chuckled dully. “Do you have self-awareness now, or are you resentful that your mother doesn’t favor you?”
Self-awareness…
Liancheng looked at him. What she lacked least right now was self-awareness.
So she confirmed that he was hinting to her not to have any illusions about the Liang family’s status, let alone their acceptance.
Liancheng agreed before he could say anything more.
Two streets had already flashed by outside the car window. She pulled the topic back. “Let’s go home. Your sister can’t sleep if she doesn’t see me at night. It wouldn’t be good for her to be frightened and bleed again.”
“She won’t be scared,” Liang Chaosu’s eyebrows twitched. He took out his phone and dialed. “Knowing you’re with me, she won’t think too much of it.”
Liancheng was terrified and grabbed his hand. “Are you crazy—”
Before her words were out, Mother Liang’s voice came from the phone. “Chaosu? Is something wrong?”
Liang Chaosu looked at Liancheng. “I’m with—”
Liancheng was so anxious she covered his mouth.
Mother Liang seemed to hear some noise. “You’re with whom?”
Liancheng’s heart was about to jump out of her throat. Mother Liang and Father Liang had been loving for decades. Her temperament was gentle and soft, but that didn’t mean she was a kind-hearted and soft-handed person.
The noblewomen in their social circle followed her lead, partly due to the Liang family’s status, and partly because Mother Liang herself had the skills, was sharp-eyed, and hard-hearted. There was nothing she couldn’t handle.
If Mother Liang discovered that she dared to have any hanky-panky with Liang Chaosu, she would immediately take thunderous action, and Liancheng wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.
“Please—” Liancheng was trembling all over, desperately mouthing the words.
Liang Chaosu’s eyebrows furrowed.
During this moment of silence, Mother Liang spoke again, her voice becoming serious. “Chaosu, who is beside you?”
Liang Chaosu pulled her hand down. “I’m with Liancheng—”
He actually said it.
Liancheng slumped down dejectedly, the color draining from her face, making her paler and more desolate than paper.
Her upward-curving fox eyes completely lost their luster, and her entire being felt withered and numb.
Liang Chaosu clenched his phone tightly. Outside, the neon lights blurred a city, and he was as dark and gloomy as a vast, silent dead sea.
“…I’ll be back immediately. Tell Feifei not to overthink things.”
Liancheng suddenly jolted. The unreality of her near-death escape and the prolonged numbness spreading through her limbs struck her internally and externally at this moment, causing her to momentarily lose her reaction.
The car drove through the streets of the west city for three days, and then encountered traffic congestion. By the time they returned to the Liang residence, it was close to ten o’clock.
Liang Wenfei and Mother Liang had surprisingly not slept and were sitting in the living room waiting for them.
Liancheng nervously changed into slippers in the outer hall’s walk-in closet. Liang Chaosu was faster than her and left first.
As he passed her, his distant and indifferent demeanor was even colder and more somber than after he had hung up the phone in the car.
Liancheng had no way of understanding his temper. She followed him meekly, walking around the entrance screen.
Mother Liang stood up, stepped past Liang Chaosu, and her gaze fixed directly on Liancheng, a mixture of anger and sharpness in her eyes.
“Birds of a feather flock together. Chaosu is heartless and ungrateful, Feifei is a sycophant who bullies others with her brother’s influence. Then in your heart, what am I, and what is your father?”
