Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Miss Jiang Refuses to Beg for Mercy Chapter 1226: Chapter 1226: Miss Jiang Refuses to Beg for Mercy She enjoyed watching him drive, focused and cold.

But in the past, she would watch him from the seat beside him.

Now, she could only stealthily watch from outside…

…

The summer sun was incredibly fierce.

Even though Jian Yufei wasn’t directly under the sun, the scorching air made her feel dizzy and uncomfortable.

The house had air conditioning, but not here.

She was wearing long socks, which only made the heat unbearable.

Moreover, she had only drunk one glass of water today, and now she was desperately thirsty…

Jian Yufei, despite her discomfort, didn’t show any signs of pain.

She would endure any pain that she could bear without showing any sign of it…

So, several hours later, when Ruan Tianling returned and saw her looking unbothered, he didn’t say anything and just walked past her.

Jian Yufei watched his back, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand.

She licked her dry lips and prayed for the sun to set quickly.

*************

Several more hours passed…

The butler carried in a cup of coffee, knocking on the door before entering Ruan Tianling’s study.

He respectfully set the coffee in front of him, stood up straight, and respectfully said, “Young Master, Miss Jian has been kneeling for six hours now.”

Ruan Tianling looked up at him, “What are you trying to say?”

“With today’s temperature at 34 degrees Celsius, if she continues like this, Miss Jian will suffer from heatstroke and faint. If her constitution is poor, she could even go into shock.”

“What time is it now?” Ruan Tianling asked indifferently.

The butler looked at his watch, “It’s 15:37.”

“She’s already made it through the hottest part of the day, do you think she’ll still suffer from heatstroke?” Ruan Tianling retorted.

“…”

“Go tell her that as long as she begs for mercy, I’ll let her get up.”

“Yes.”

The butler walked out of the study, and Ruan Tianling’s expression immediately darkened.

That woman was more enduring than anyone else; he wanted to see if she would beg for mercy!

A few minutes later, the butler returned: “Young Master, Miss Jian refuses to beg for mercy.”

“… Get out.”

“Yes.”

The answer was expected, but his face turned even uglier.

He took a sip of his coffee, finding it unbearably bitter.

Bang– He smashed the cup to the floor and continued his work with a brooding expression.

…

As the sunlight weakened, Jian Yufei swallowed hard, unable to relieve the dryness of her throat.

She was dying for a drink of water… If only it would rain…

She didn’t understand why she insisted on kneeling; she could stand up just by begging for it.

She volunteered to be a slave, to be tormented and vented upon by him, but to beg for mercy–that, she couldn’t do.

That was just her character, stubborn and unyielding to a fault.

This character trait had caused her a lot of suffering, but she still hadn’t learned to change…

Who knew how long it was before the butler once again came up to her, saying indifferently, “Miss Jian, if you can’t endure any longer, just say the word, and the Young Master will surely let you get up.”

Jian Yufei shook her head, not even having the strength to say thank you.

Seeing her pale and her lips dry and white, the butler knew she couldn’t hold on much longer.

But since she wouldn’t beg for mercy, the equally stubborn Young Master wouldn’t let her get up.

The butler helplessly walked into the living room, only to hear Ruan Tianling’s chilling voice.

“Who made this dish?”

“Young Master… It was me…”

“Too much salt, are you trying to kill me with salt?!”
