Chapter 197 Lin Ruoxi: Suprise after suprise!
Zhang Wei assumed she had forgotten about Raven, but it seemed she was simply waiting for his permission!
Tentatively, Zhang Wei inquired, “… can you actually kill her without being scared like last time?”
Raven, now bewildered, silently wondered, ‘What nonsense are they talking about? Who did she kill last time?’
Despite her efforts to downplay it, her nerves remained tense. Little did she know that Zhang Wei was referring to the time when Yu Lei had been frightened after witnessing bloodshed. 𝒩𝑶𝓋𝓮𝐋𝞰𝐞xt.𝕔𝑜𝑚
Yu Lei, who fully grasped Zhang Wei’s intent, nodded with a contemplative expression. “I can.”
Zhang Wei, intrigued by her confidence, glanced at Raven’s face.
He contemplated whether it was time to test Yu Lei’s newfound abilities.
Could she truly take someone’s life now?
Raven’s eyebrows knitted in disbelief as she watched the bizarre interactions between Zhang Wei and Yu Lei. It was like watching two characters from a surreal play. ‘These two are utterly insane!’ she muttered to herself, struggling to comprehend their twisted relationship.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei didn’t grant Yu Lei permission to use Raven as a test subject.
Instead, for the rest of the journey, Yu Lei sat above Zhang Wei, curled up as if seeking solace within his presence. She occasionally placed his hand on her stomach after lifting her top slightly, asking him nonsensical questions about their future daughter and laughing to herself.
This revelation left Raven stunned.
She realized that Yu Lei was pregnant with Zhang Wei’s child.
It raised numerous questions in her mind.
Why wasn’t Yu Lei more guarded if she was carrying his child?
Why was she allowing him to have fun outside their relationship?
The car came to a stop in the downtown area where Zhang Wei was going to pick up Lin Ruoxi, and Raven was further stunned by Zhang Wei’s audacity – picking up another woman in front of his wife? Yu Lei’s nonchalant attitude made her clutch her head, wondering from which forest he found such a creature like Yu Lei.
Raven sat in the car, utterly perplexed by Zhang Wei’s sudden change of heart. She couldn’t help but wonder, “Wasn’t he going to keep her locked away here, away from the world?” Her thoughts swirled, but she obediently remained in the vehicle, waiting for whatever strange plan Zhang Wei had in mind.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wei, carrying a small bag filled with new, professionally chosen clothes for Lin Ruoxi, approached the confinement quarters.
He knocked on the door, but there was no response.
The door, lacking any locks from the inside, easily swung open, revealing a room in disarray. Broken items were strewn across the floor, evidence of Lin Ruoxi’s recent turmoil.
Amidst the chaos, Lin Ruoxi lay curled up in the middle of the bed, appearing utterly exhausted from her earlier outburst.
Zhang Wei sighed softly and gently tapped Lin Ruoxi to wake her from her troubled slumber.
As Lin Ruoxi stirred from her slumber, her brows knitted in response to the disturbance. She emitted a soft, drowsy murmur, “Mmm…” But as her eyes slowly focused and settled on Zhang Wei, her expression shifted from confusion to a slight sense of disbelief.
It was as if she needed a moment to confirm that he was indeed there in front of her.
Finally, she straightened up and addressed him with a composed demeanor, “Master, you’re early today.” Her eyes blinked, and she rubbed them gently, still adjusting to the idea of her new reality.
It appeared that she had managed to find some acceptance in her heart about her situation, having overcome the emotional breakdown of the previous day.
Zhang Wei handed her the bag and instructed, “Go and get dressed.” Lin Ruoxi’s expression changed at his words, a momentary flicker of confusion crossing her face as she seemed to consider the implications.
‘Costume play?’ she wondered, her gaze fixed on Zhang Wei before eventually complying. She stood up, walking toward the bathroom with the intention of cleaning herself and putting on whatever costume he had prepared for her.
She didn’t want to delay his good deeds.
However, when Lin Ruoxi opened the bag and examined its contents, her expression underwent a subtle transformation. Her initial reaction, a brief moment of complex emotions, faded, and she resumed her composed demeanor.
But her eyes betrayed a hint of melancholy, for the outfit before her reminded her of times when she wore similar attire to her own company.
She understood Zhang Wei’s intentions – he was likely planning to humiliate her today with this outfit.
Lin Ruoxi shrugged, a gesture that reflected her indifference to the attire he had chosen.
She was no longer the president she once was; her identity had undergone a profound transformation.
She had to come to terms with this change quickly, to avoid further angering her master.
After a brief period in the bathroom, she emerged with freshly washed hair and dressed in the professional clothes provided.
Her demeanor had shifted, and she carried herself differently. Zhang Wei observed her, nodding in satisfaction.
The subtle changes in her appearance might not be immediately apparent, but they indicated her willingness to adapt to her new role.
Lin Ruoxi waited expectantly, anticipating some unusual and potentially humiliating demands. However, to her surprise, Zhang Wei did something unexpected: he simply took her hand and led her toward the door.
Lin Ruoxi was taken aback by Zhang Wei’s command, her voice trembling as she struggled to process it. “M-Master?” she stammered, uncertainty evident in her voice.
Zhang Wei stopped in his tracks, his tone firm as he reminded her, “It’s Zhang Wei in front of others. Call me master when no strangers are nearby.”
She nodded, her heart quivering with mixed emotions. “Yes,” she replied, her voice barely a whisper, and her mind racing with questions.
As they approached the door, Lin Ruoxi couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Is he taking me outside again?’ The sight of the bright white sunlight beyond the threshold sparked a glimmer of excitement within her, and she swallowed anxiously.
But Zhang Wei’s reprimand brought her back to reality. “Why are you standing there? Follow me already!” he scolded, his impatience evident.
Startled, Lin Ruoxi snapped out of her reverie. “O-Oh, yes!” she exclaimed, her heels clicking as she hurried to keep pace with him, following him to the car. Inside, she expected to see Raven, which didn’t surprise her.
However, the presence of another figure in the backseat left her frozen in place.
“President Lin!”
