Chapter 137 Desire for Freedom
Chapter 137 Desire for Freedom
Upon hearing Ye Xingran's words, Xiao Si froze on the spot, staring at Ye Xingran in astonishment.
However, despite her doubts and confusion, Xiao Si still did as instructed.
Nodding, "Okay, Miss Ye."
"You can't let Fu Shiyue know what I asked you to buy, do you understand?"
Ye Xingran's voice rang in Xiao Si's ears again, and this time, Xiao Si heard it very clearly.
She nodded, as if to assure Ye Xingran that she understood.
Then he put down the porridge and went outside.
She cannot get pregnant, absolutely not!
Ye Xingran watched Xiao Si's departing figure, her expression becoming complicated.
She was confined to this room, unable to move an inch.
There were two people guarding outside, so I had no way to get out.
I have no choice but to ask the maid for help.
She glanced at the calendar on the table; today was the last day of the month.
If I can't get the antidote myself
The consequences are unknown...
Just as Ye Xingran was anxiously waiting for Xiao Si to return, the sound of a man's steady and powerful leather shoes came from outside the door.
Each sound felt like a footstep on her heart, causing it to clench instantly.
It's Fu Shiyue!
Ye Xingran hurriedly composed herself and her clothes, trying to appear calm.
The door was slowly pushed open, and Fu Shiyue's tall figure appeared in the doorway. His eyes were deep and sharp, with an indescribable, unfathomable depth.
"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Fu Shiyue's deep voice echoed in the quiet room.
Ye Xingran forced a calm smile and said, "It's nothing."
He walked up to her, his sharply defined fingers lifting her chin to meet her gaze.
"You'd better not try to leave here with any other thoughts; you can't escape."
Fu Shiyue walked to her side, his gaze falling on the calendar on the table.
"Time flies, it's almost the end of the month."
"Guess why I'm here today?"
It was a quiet night, pitch black all around, with only a faint moonlight shining through the window into the room.
A man and a woman alone in a room create an atmosphere that is both ambiguous and tense.
Faced with Fu Shiyue's question, a slight ripple stirred in her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and replied, "It's hard for me to guess what President Fu is thinking. I'm not a mind reader."
The two of them fell silent immediately.
He slowly approached her and pulled her into his arms.
"Whatever you're thinking, that's what I'll do?"
Ye Xingran's heart jumped into her throat instantly. She could clearly feel the intense heat and strong aura emanating from Fu Shiyue.
Her face flushed uncontrollably, and her eyes began to dart away.
Ye Xingran tried to break free from his embrace, but Fu Shiyue held her even tighter.
Fu Shiyue stroked the hair beside her ear with his fingertips, "You really make me want to..."
A tingling sensation surged from the soles of her feet to her heart, and she dared not move.
At this ambiguous and tense moment, Ye Xingran's face suddenly turned pale, as if she had lost all color, which was terrifying.
She clutched her chest tightly with both hands, as if she were suffering immense pain there, her brows furrowed, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
This sudden change caught Fu Shiyue off guard, and his eyes, which had been filled with desire, instantly regained their clarity.
Seeing Ye Xingran's pained expression, his lust receded like a tide, replaced by deep worry.
"What's wrong with you?" Fu Shiyue's voice revealed a hint of anxiety.
Ye Xingran bit her lip, enduring the pain, and squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "I... my chest hurts."
Her voice was as light as a breeze, as if it might drift away at any moment.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyue immediately carried her to the bed so that she could lie down comfortably.
Then, without hesitation, he picked up his phone, dialed the number of the Fu family's private doctor, and said urgently, "Come over right away!"
Time ticked by, and Fu Shiyue waited anxiously by the bedside for the doctor to arrive.
Finally, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and the Fu family's private doctor rushed over.
The doctor quickly came to the bedside and examined Ye Xingran.
He carefully observed Ye Xingran's symptoms, but his brows furrowed more and more.
After a while, the doctor stood up, faced Fu Shiyue, and looked puzzled.
“Mr. Fu, this young lady’s symptoms are very strange,” the doctor said. “I can’t see anything abnormal, only chest tightness, and no other abnormalities.”
His tone revealed a hint of helplessness, clearly indicating that he was also at a loss in the face of this situation.
Ye Xingran woke up and saw the doctor and Fu Shiyue standing there.
She was pale and struggled to get up.
"Fu Shiyue, tell him to go out first. I have something to tell you."
Fu Shiyue gestured for the doctor to leave first.
After the door closed, Ye Xingran took a deep breath.
“Fu Shiyue, I know you’re angry that I lied to you, but I did it because I had no other choice.”
"I am actually a covert gunman. The organization sent me to get close to you and complete a mission. Just a few days ago, a special drug was implanted in my body. If I don't get the antidote by the end of each month, I will suffer terribly."
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened as he stared intently at her. "So, your approach to me, from the very beginning, was all a premeditated scheme?" Ye Xingran bit her lip, her eyes reddening. "That's right..."
"I really have no other choice. If I don't choose to obey, death is the only thing waiting for me."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if each word was uttered with all her might.
The dense, throbbing pain in her chest surged back like a tide, making it almost impossible for her to breathe, but she still endured it. Her beautiful face appeared somewhat pale at this moment, but her ethereal eyes remained fixed on Fu Shiyue.
“I am different from you. You have a privileged background and a strong family, but what about me? I was abandoned by my biological parents at birth. If it weren’t for Lu Fei’s kindness in taking me back, I would probably be lying dead on the street or a pitiful beggar, living a miserable life.”
Her tone gradually became low, and as she recalled those unbearable past events, the pain in her heart intensified.
"Although my identity is difficult to talk about, Lu Fei gave me a chance to live, so no matter what, I have to accept this price."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "But if I could, I really want to be free and no longer be bound by anyone."
Today, she has overcome countless hardships and completed countless missions. These missions are diverse and varied, and the opponents she has faced are also diverse and unique.
She had approached wealthy businessmen and cleverly obtained their confidential information; she had also used all her skills to make those targets fall in love with her, and then, when they were deeply in love and unable to extricate themselves, she ruthlessly delivered a fatal blow.
In this world full of deceit and intrigue, her hands are already stained with the blood of many.
Every drop of blood represents the loss of a life, yet she walks further and further down this bloody path, unable to turn back.
A helpless, bitter smile tugged at the corners of his lips; he forced a smile.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin:
"I won't let you die."
His face slowly drew closer to hers, the distance between them growing ever closer until they could feel each other's breath.
"There is nothing in this world that I cannot have."
He said it word by word: "Including you."
