Chapter 202 - The Reunion Arc : The Truth Of That Night (4)

Xiaosi once again tried to break free and lunge at the man, but one of the guards punched in his stomach and he coughed hard. He staggered on his knee and clutched his abdomen as pain shot through it.

Han Huizhong lazily said, "Don't blame me if they kill you. My guards are impatient. So, Xiaosi. If you don't want to see the love of your life being ruined, then I still give you a chance to leave. Of course, you have to keep your mouth tightly shut."

He signaled the man and he nodded.

The man slowly approached the bed, staring Caihong up and down. 

"Noooo! Stop! Don't touch her!"

As he extended his arm and was about to touch her face, Xiaosi exclaimed. "I will do it!"

His heart pounded in his chest and he breathed hard. Sweat trickled down his forehead. In the heat of the moment, the words slipped out of his mouth.

Han Huizhong raised his brow. "What did you say?"

Even Xiaosi was shocked by his own words and felt disoriented for a few moments. But he regained his composure as he quickly gave it a thought.

He nodded. "I-I will do it. I will... sleep with Caihong. Take this man away from her!"

Han Huizhong said nothing as he simply gauged him.

Xiaosi met his calculating gaze and steeled himself. "You just want Caihong's dignity right…?"

Every word ignited an inexplicable fury in his chest, and he wished to kill himself for saying such heartless words.

But this was the only way to save Caihong.

"So it doesn't matter who the man should be…" his fingers clenched into a fist. He dug his nails in his palm in hatred.

"So I will be the one. I will not let a disgusting stranger touch her! I will sleep with Caihong."

In his mind, he had already formed a plan. There was no reason for Han Huizhong to disagree. He just wanted to ruin Caihong. It didn't matter who did it.

When Xiaosi would enter the room, he would lock the door and pretend to make some noises as if he was really having sex with her to fool him. He would make her clothes a little disheveled to prove that he really did it with her.

So, Xiaosi wouldn't actually sleep with her. Just act as if he did. This was the only way he could think of to save Caihong.

Han Huizhong smiled. "Sure, I don't mind. As long as I get what I want."

He let out a silent sigh of relief.

"Provided that you actually sleep with her."

He froze.

"Do you think that I was just born yesterday? I have seen so much scheming in my life that I can whiff out a plan in seconds. It is ingrained in the back of my mind. You are crying and begging here to let her go. You even bowed your head in front of me. Do you think I will believe your words when you say that you will really sleep with her?"

Xiaosi quickly said, "I am not lying! I will sleep with her!"

"How? By making fake noises?" He snorted.

The color drained away from his face. 

Han Huizhong smiled. "So you see kid. I don't mind you sleeping with her, but I won't tolerate any such useless schemes. Don't try to trick me or she will have to pay for it. I would still have a maid 'check' her condition after you are done. Of course, she knows what to look for and if she doesn't find that, then... you should be grateful that I am refraining from someone to keep an eye on you."

He narrowed his eyes. "That's why you have no choice. Don't test my patience and my time."

The goon exclaimed in dissatisfaction. "What!? Why! He cannot take my place! I want to sleep with this woman!"

Han Huizhong shot a deadly glare towards him, making him freeze. "Of course I will compensate you for your time wasted here. If you remain any more stubborn than this, then face the guards here."

He gulped hard. Han Huizhong wasn't a man to be trifled with, and he already saw how strong his guards were.

"Fine!"

He threw a menacing look at Xiaosi and stomped away.

Xiaosi slowly stepped into the room. His mind was blank and his heart hurt as if somebody was punching it left and right. Caihong laid on the bed all vulnerable and defenseless. Tears kissed his cheek as he broke down.

"Caihong...I am sorry...I don't know what to do anymore…I am so pathetic…" he cried hard. His shaking hands caught her cheeks. A tear dropped on it.

It hurt more because he had promised himself that he would never walk down the same path as his father who had assaulted his mother. He had resolved that his lover would get the utmost respect.

But what was he doing now? What choice did he have but to ruin her with his own hands?

There was no logic in him sleeping with her instead of that man. Caihong would be hurt nevertheless.

But he couldn't let someone touch her who treated her as an object to satisfy his disgusting desires. Who leered at her body as if she was a trophy to devour.

Xiaosi loved her a lot. He respected her a lot.

And that was why he chose to destroy her too.

"Get to it. I don't have the whole night to waste here."

The time passed and Han Huizhong finally left the place after he got what he wanted. His power oppressed Xiaosi to keep his mouth shut.

The villa was left with silence.

Kneeling on the floor, Xiaosi blankly stared at Caihong. His tears had dried up and his heart felt vacant. It was as if he lost all his connection to his emotions as saw Caihong lay on the bed with her dignity gone.

He faintly laughed. "You… don't worry Caihong. I hurt you tonight, and I will bear the brunt of this night for the rest of my life. Your hatred for me will be my punishment until the day I die."
