His chubby little face was gently caressed by Shen Qianqian. There was a knock on the half-opened door. It was Xiao Kong's little senior, Jing Yuan. He was a boy of 15 or 16 years old.
Shen Qianqian looked up and said softly, "Come in."
Seeing that Xiao Kong had fallen asleep, Jing Yuan was relieved. He glanced at Shen Qianqian and sat down beside her.
Looking at Jing Yuan's eyes, Shen Qianqian knew that he had something to say.
"What's wrong?"
Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Kong and sighed, "You're finally here. You don't know how serious Xiao Kong was last night. In the past, Xiao Kong always asked me secretly if you didn't want him anymore. In fact, I knew that even if I comforted him, he would still think that way."
There was silence in the room. Shen Qianqian realized how sorry she was to Xiao Kong.
Shen Qianqian pursed her lips and tried hard to hold back her tears.
"I will take him away in the future. I won't let him think that way anymore."
Looking at Shen Qianqian, who was obviously thin, Jing Yuan knew that she also had difficulties. Looking at her lonely figure under the yellow light, Jing Yuan could only sigh and leave.
Staying by Xiao Kong's side, Shen Qianqian had a good night's sleep.
In the morning in the temple, smoke rose in spirals from the kitchen chimneys and the singing of orioles could be heard.
Shen Qianqian was woken up by the ringing of the phone. She groggily rubbed her sleepy eyes. When she saw that the caller ID was Gu Hecheng, Shen Qianqian's heart tightened. She glanced at Xiao Kong and hurriedly ran to the open space outside to answer the phone.
"Shen Qianqian, you're really something. You didn't come back for a whole night!" Gu Hecheng's furious voice was so cold that it made Shen Qianqian tremble. "It seems that I have underestimated you. I have to see you within half an hour. Otherwise, your parents …"
Using her parents to threaten her had become Gu Hecheng's time-tested tactic.
"You …" Shen Qianqian looked around the room. Xiao Kong hadn't woken up yet. She didn't want Xiao Kong to open his eyes and not see her, but she had no other choice now.
"Do as you see fit!" After Gu Hecheng finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Shen Qianqian knew that Gu Hecheng would really do it. She hurriedly went back to grab her coat and was about to run out.
When she reached the door, Shen Qianqian couldn't bear it. She came back and kissed Xiao Kong's forehead again. Then she quickly ran out of the temple and down the mountain road to hail a taxi.
Half an hour wasn't enough to get to the villa from here. Shen Qianqian even sprained her ankle, but she didn't dare to delay.
After getting into the taxi, Shen Qianqian could only call Gu Hecheng to beg for mercy.
"Gu Hecheng, don't touch my parents. I'm already on my way back, but there's a traffic jam. Can you give me another hour?"
Shen Qianqian's pleading finally made Gu Hecheng less angry. He was silent for a moment and said, "One hour."
Gu Hecheng hung up the phone. Shen Qianqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, there weren't many cars on the road. After rushing for an hour, they finally arrived at the villa.
As soon as Shen Qianqian entered the door, she saw Mother Liu looking at her with an awkward expression. Mother Liu even looked upstairs and signaled to her with her eyes. Shen Qianqian immediately understood.
Seeing Shen Qianqian walking upstairs with heavy steps, Mother Liu sighed and left.
Outside the door, Shen Qianqian panted nervously, trying to make herself look less flustered.
"I'm back." As the door opened, Shen Qianqian's faint voice could be heard.
However, Gu Hecheng turned around. After squinting at Shen Qianqian, he suddenly strode forward, pulled Shen Qianqian over, and threw her onto the bed forcefully.
Gu Hecheng pounced on Shen Qianqian and pinned her down, not allowing her to struggle.
His slender and strong fingers pinched Shen Qianqian's chin. His large hand had already reached into her clothes.
Gu Hecheng realized that he was actually beginning to lust after Shen Qianqian's body.
"Where are my parents?" Shen Qianqian's disgusted gaze pierced Gu Hecheng. Gu Hecheng narrowed his eyes dangerously and suddenly moved away from Shen Qianqian.
"They're still alive and well."
Gu Hecheng left with these words, slammed the door, and left.
Seeing Gu Hecheng leave, Shen Qianqian hurriedly called her mother. "Mom, are you okay?"
"It's fine. The water and electricity were cut off last night, but everything is fine now." Shen Qianqian's mother's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, and only then did Shen Qianqian feel relieved.
"Mom, I'll go and see you," Shen Qianqian said anxiously, but was unexpectedly interrupted by her mother.
"No, there's no need." Shen Qianqian's mother looked around and saw that there was no one around. She wanted to hide it from Shen Qianqian, but she said, "I came out this morning to buy some food. I haven't gone home yet."
Shen Qianqian's mother's casual words stunned her.
Her parents' house was specially arranged by Gu Hecheng to be a garden villa in the suburbs. In order to control them well, there was nothing around them. Gu Hecheng deliberately made things difficult for them and did not even allow them to use the car. Therefore, when her mother said that they had to walk further away, they had to walk five kilometers.
In order not to worry her mother, Shen Qianqian tried her best to suppress the anger and heartache in her heart. She hung up the phone.
Shen Qianqian was now as angry as a trapped beast. She opened the door and saw that Gu Hecheng was still downstairs. She hurriedly rushed downstairs.
"Gu Hecheng, are you still a man? You're always using such methods to threaten me. Don't you have any shame?" Shen Qianqian questioned him harshly. In Gu Hecheng's eyes, her words were laughable.
Gu Hecheng walked towards Shen Qianqian aggressively, forcing Shen Qianqian to step back.
"Threaten? You know it's threatening? " Gu Hecheng sneered. "I learned it from you. If you hadn't threatened me, I wouldn't have been with you to save Jinyang."
"You ignored my words and didn't come back on time. This is your punishment!" Gu Hecheng approached Shen Qianqian and pinched Shen Qianqian's chin. "If something like this happens again, I can't guarantee that I won't do anything else."
Looking into Gu Hecheng's deep eyes, Shen Qianqian felt powerless.
Xiao Kong was sick, but she couldn't tell him. She wanted to leave this place and go to Xiao Kong's side, but she couldn't.
Shen Qianqian's hopeless eyes made Gu Hecheng feel the pleasure of revenge. He released his grip and looked at Shen Qianqian sitting on the sofa dejectedly. He was very satisfied.
"Mother Liu!" Gu Hecheng's deep voice resounded in the living room. Mother Liu rushed out and glanced at Shen Qianqian, who was standing behind Gu Hecheng. Her heart ached for her.
"Mother Liu, from today onwards, she's not allowed to go anywhere. If she disappears this time, I won't let you off."
Gu Hecheng's cold eyes swept across Mother Liu and Shen Qianqian. As soon as they left the villa, the renovation workers came and sealed all the windows.
