Chapter 17- Tying up the Wangye
Mi Xiaoqi bit her lips, fine, she was afraid sheâd die. She still wanted to live and return home to her parents. She couldnât just die pointlessly because of this man.
âUm, Miss, the Wangye just wants you to obey him. Youâll have an easier time if you just listen to him,â Lu Lou carefully advised.
âTrying to speculate Benwangâs thoughts, now are you? Has your head remained on your neck for too long?â A cold voice floated indoors.
Lu Lou immediately dropped onto the floor and kneeled, âWangâŚ..WangyeâŚ.â
Mi Xiaoqi glared at Bei Gongyan, Bei Gongyan narrowed his eyes. They both tried to stare each other down. Mi Xiaoqi didnât dodge Bei Gongyanâs intense gaze, â Very good, servants, drag her out of here, zhang bi.â
âWangye! Have mercy!â
Mi Xiaoqi stood up, the golden chain on her ankle rattled along with her harsh movements, âBei Gongyan, you psycho!â
âAre you angry again?â Bei Gongyan smirked, strong, slender fingers grasped Mi Xiaoqiâs chin.
âYou! What rights do you have to restrain me?!â Mi Xiaoqi shouted.
âNone, it just makes me happy.â
She cowardly walked backwards, but Bei Gongyan grabbed her and dragged her into his embrace, âYouâre already trapped, yet you still want to run?â
He showed Mi Xiaoqi the key in his other hand, âThis is the only key in the entire world for the Golden Lock. Unless you donât want your leg, donât even think about running away.â
âItâs just a lock, I can easily open this lock.â
âHa, I didnât know that you had a habit of bluffing.â
âHow about this, if I can unlock this lock, youâll promise me that you wonât ever punish Lu Lou again. Do you dare agree?â Mi Xiaoqi suddenly had an idea.
âHa, sure, thereâs nothing that Benwang is afraid to do,â Bei Gongyanâs gaze landed on Mi Xiaoqiâs face, with a slight anticipation.
âLet go of me and Iâll open the lock.â
By the side kneeling, Lu Lou was trembling on the floor. At first, it was because she was so scared, but now, it was because she was crying with joy.
Mi Xiaoqi touched her head, and reached for her hairpin. Her jet black hair to flowed down her back. Then she plopped her butt down on the bed, and raised her chained leg onto it. Grabbing the lock with one hand, she poked her hairpin into the lock and gently tweaked it around with her eyes closed like she was listening for somethingâŚâŚ
Clack.
The lock was opened. Mi Xiaoqi tossed the lock onto floor. Rubbing her sore ankle, she looked at Bei Gongyan with a look of triumph. See, what a feeble lock.
Bei Gongyan was stunned. Astonishment flashed by his eyes, but he composed himself so fast that Mi Xiaoqi didnât notice.
âNaturally, youâre dismissed.â
Lu Lou kowtowed to Bei Gongyan, and left the room.
âYou know how to open locks.â
âNot only can I open locks, I also can design and create locks.â
Mi Xiaoqi glanced at Bei Gongyan, an absurd idea appeared in her little head.
âReally?â questioned Bei Gongyan.
âOf course. What is it made of? Canât you just split it open with a knife?â Mi Xiaoqi picked up the golden lock along with the chain from the floor.
âOf course not. Itâs made of gold and xuantie, itâs rigidity is unparalleled,â explained Bei Gongyan patiently.
Mi Xiaoqi squinted, she looked like she was just playing with a toy.
âWangye,â said Mi Xiaoqi suddenly, sweetly and softly.
Bei Gongyan looked dumbfounded at Mi Xiaoqi.
âWangye, Xiaoqi now understands. In the future, Iâll listen to whatever Wangye says, and I wonât anger Wangye again.â Mi Xiaoqi leaned into Bei Gongyanâs embrace, with a fawning look.
Even though he knew her sudden change was because she had a plan, Bei Gongyan couldnât help but raise his arm around Mi Xiaoqiâs shoulder.
âYouâre being truthful?â
âMoreso than a pearl.â
Mi Xiaoqi squinted, her eyes shone brightly like stars.
âWangye come and sit down, Iâll help you by giving you a massage.â
Help you, although these words were obviously improper, they seemed so natural when she said it. Bei Gongyan listened to her and sat down on the bed.
Mi Xiaoqiâs massaging skills were truly amazing. Soon, Bei Gongyanâs eyes were closed, and his head was lying comfortably on Mi Xiaoqiâs legs. Mi Xiaoqi continued to meticulously massage him while humming.
Bei Gongyan slept quietly on her legs, curious about the tune Mi Xiaoqi was humming. Although he had never heard this type of tune, it was very soothing.
Noticing Bei Gongyanâs relaxed state, Mi Xiaoqi attentively moved the chains on the side. She observed Bei Gongyanâs reaction, and saw that he didnât move or react.
Mi Xiaoqi lightly put the chains on his body. Now that, made Bei Gongyan move.
âIâm just going to use the chain to help you relax, so donât move,â as she talked, her heart had jumped in her throat.
Surprisingly, a certain Wangye listened to her and didnât move.
Mi Xiaoqiâs heart jumped with joy. I didnât know you were so childish Bei Gongyan. Hehe. Once she successfully placed the chains around his body, she pulled the chains over the bedpost, and swiftly locked it with the lock in her hand.
Swiftly, she jumped off the bed and onto the floor. However, she had done excessive amounts of âexerciseâ that morning, and in addition too all her excitement, she fell face down onto the floor, resulting in a rather intimate contact with the ground.
Bei Gongyan snapped open his eyes, âMI XIAOQI!â
He struggled, but he wasnât able to move.
âIt hurts.â
Mi Xiaoqi stood up gloomily. Rubbing her nose and pouting, she sat onto the floor.
