Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Won’t do anything to you

"But I’m truly not worth such a big sacrifice."

Qiao Yiyang smiled faintly, and reaching out, he gently stroked her hair, smiling as he said, "In this world, everyone has what they desire the most. What I want the most, in your eyes, might not be worth a penny, but to me, it’s a treasure beyond price. Even if it means sacrificing everything, I still want to have it."

"What do you want to get?" Lin Xinlan asked, confused.

Qiao Yiyang pressed his lips together and said nothing, only staring at her with a dark glint in his eyes.

Lin Xinlan’s heart skipped a beat, and she tentatively asked, "Is it me that you want the most?"

"You could say that."

"Qiao Yiyang, I don’t understand." She hadn’t done anything, nor did she have any special qualities. Why did he desire her the most?

"Never mind if you don’t understand, as long as I do. Xinlan, it’s getting late; let’s go rest." He grabbed her hand, wanting to pull her up.

Lin Xinlan shook her head and forcefully broke free from his grasp.

"I won’t go up with you, go by yourself if you want to!"

"Xinlan, be good and come with me to rest."

"I won’t!"

The man said with amusement, "Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to you. I just want to hold you while I sleep."

That still counts as not doing anything to her?

"I would rather die than share a bed with you!" Lin Xinlan declared firmly, knowing men are unreliable, especially in bed.

Qiao Yiyang’s expression became stern, and suddenly, he reached out and hoisted her over his shoulder.

Lin Xinlan’s world spun as her head now dangled down his back.

She screamed and struggled, but Qiao Yiyang was very strong, and her resistance was utterly ineffective.

He carried her as easily as if she were a rag doll, effortlessly going upstairs and returning to the bedroom, where he placed her on the bed.

The moment Lin Xinlan was free, she jumped off the bed and dashed for the door.

Qiao Yiyang was quick and caught her, pushing her down on the bed as Lin Xinlan started to struggle again, "Let go of me, let go!"

He held down her arms and legs and said in a deep voice, "If you keep moving, I’ll stop being polite!"

His words were effective; she suddenly stopped moving, staring at him with a wary gaze.

The man finally let go, satisfied. He smiled as he tenderly stroked her head, saying softly, "Stay put, I’ll take a shower. Don’t be tense, I’m already very tired and won’t do anything to you."

Lin Xinlan didn’t move, and he was pleased, so he found his pajamas and went to the bathroom to shower.

As the sound of running water came from inside, she suddenly stood up and ran to open the door.

At the doorway stood two tall, black-clad bodyguards. Upon seeing her emerge, they immediately blocked her way.

"Miss Lin, the BOSS has ordered that without his permission, you cannot leave!"

"Move away, I have things I need to do!" Lin Xinlan shouted imperiously, but they didn’t show any sign of backing down, standing before her like a solid wall, leaving her with no place to go.

Lin Xinlan glared at them angrily, but they remained impassive, their faces showing no sign of changing expressions.

With no other choice, she closed the door and thought of another plan.

She looked around the room and found nothing; this time, Qiao Yiyang had been careful not to leave anything dangerous in front of her.

Her gaze landed on a painting, and without saying a word, Lin Xinlan went forward, took down the painting, broke the glass frame, and held a sharp piece of glass in her hand.

Upon hearing the noise, Qiao Yiyang came out wrapped in just a bath towel, his body still dripping wet.
