Chapter 429 - Please Save Me

Su Wan's eyes hardened and Luo Xin who seemed to have gotten what she wanted , laughed as she patted Su Wan's face with the whip " That's why it is easy to control emotional fools like you, you wear your heart on your sleeves and you depend on your emotions a bit too much and are easy to read. Weren't you playing the role of not understanding anything what happened? Don't want to act anymore?" 

Su Wan smiled but this time her smile was cold, she leaned back as she stared at Luo Xin's eyes " even if I pretended not to know, you would have still not let me go just like that right? You never planned on letting me leave without making me suffer, isn't that it? So why should I keep pretending to be a fool? At least now I can tell you how much of a crazy-ass biting bitch you are…did you really think that after you unravel that whip, I was going to plead to you ?" Su Wan smirked when the smile fell on Luo Xin's face, she was smart enough to understand that Luo Xin relied on her aura and the terror she incited in her victim to control them. The crazy woman was not only mad but also a sadist, she liked seeing others in pain, in anger and frustrated. 

She liked control but Su wan will be damned if she let the woman control her in the way she wanted. 

Luo Xin stopped to draw in a breath as she retreated a couple of steps back, her eyes popping as she muttered " we will see, we will see" she raised the whip in her hands as she struck Su Wan's waist. Su Wan sucked in a breath, a slight tremor rocking inside her body as the prickly barbs slashed her skin, it was a sensation she has never felt before and was certain that she never wanted to feel before - it was like her entire flesh was being cut off and she was being skinned alive. The barbs embedded deep in her flesh and she had to clench her teeth hard from stopping the scream that was lodged in her throat from escaping. She sucked in a few breaths trying to ease her taut nerves yet she didn't change her expression nor did she let her tears fall, she will never let Luo Xin get the satisfaction of making her suffer. She will never bow down to someone like Luo Xin much less beg her to let her off! 

Su Wan swallowed and looked at Luo Xin with a grin despite the blood dripping down her stomach " Woah that was crazy, don't you think old hag?" 

Luo Xin stared at Su Wan in shock, she couldn't comprehend how the girl in front of her was still smiling, her complexion has of course gone very white but she was still smiling, she gripped her whip in her hand as soon as she found her strength, she once again lifted the whip and struck Su Wan's shoulder, the cloth tore and so did the jade white skin, the skin that looked smooth as butter without a single scar was now bloody from the cut that the barbs left behind but Su Wan didnt mutter an 'uff'. 

She calmly looked at Luo Xin, with a mocking curve of her lips - and that nearly drove Luo Xin mad, this was exactly how her brother had looked at her when she had to watch Nanli getting dismembered by five horses. Like she was just a helpless, little damsel - she wasn't a damsel! She will never be her helpless self! She will always have control, she will always be the one who will be in control! She raised the whip and hit Su Wan again and again, and again - once, twice, thrice -she lost count of how many times she hit her. But by the time she stopped Su Wan's entire body was dripping with blood. Seeing her like this, Luo Xin finally revealed a  smile, that's right now she will look at her with that lost and helpless gaze, the one that will show her how helpless she was feeling, anytime now-

But when Su Wan lifted her head up, she still had the same determined gaze. She didn't look afraid, or terrified, she didnt even called anyone for her help - nor did she shed a single tear of pain, she wasn't broken - why wasn't she broken? And why was she looking at her like she was a disgusting person? That she was someone who didn't deserve any pity? Like she was in the wrong?

Her gaze - she hated that gaze! " Stop looking at me like that !" Shrieked Luo Xin, her emotions getting the best of her " stop with that look! Like you are better than me!l I am not wrong, you all are wrong! I was never wrong! Never! It's you all, who broke me first! I did nothing - nothing, you stole what was mine, if you didnt I wouldn't have done anything like this !"

Su Wan watched her in silence like she was watching a clown as her lips curled in a mocking sneer "That's why it's easier to control emotional fools, they wear their hearts on their sleeves wasn't it?"

Luo Xin paused, the haze in her eyes turning red as she furiously walked towards Su Wan and grabbed her throat - why, why, why wasn't she broken? Why wasn't  she calling for help? It wasn't supposed to be like this! This woman should be sorry, should be begging for her mercy for taking what belonged to her, so why wasn't she ? " you are proud huh? Do you think you are so much better than me? What if I ruin this pretty face of yours? What will you do then? Do you think that your husbands would want you then? Huh?Huh ?" Questioned Luo Xin ferociously, and just when she thought that Su Wan will finally show her terrified expression the latter grinned.

Looking at her with an even worse contemptuous gaze as she opened her mouth " Fool" she sneered " if you ruin my face, you won't be ruining me alone, you will also be ruining your chances of getting your hands on Lin Yan because there is no way he will come willingly with you in exchange for broken goods, right ?" then she paused as she added with a mocking smile " and of course, I am better than you because someone will come to save me"

' someone will come to save me' as those words registered in her head, Luo Xin roared furiously, she wanted to kill Su Wan but if she killed the latter then she will never get what she wanted - Su Wan was the key to her Nanli …. Luo Xin breathed heavily and then threw the bloody whip on the ground as she stormed out " keep a good eye on her " said Luo Xin, and then she was gone and the door to the run-down hut was closed behind her.

Only after she was gone, did Su Wan unclench her fists and breathed out as a silent sob broke past her clenched teeth, she couldn't scream in pain like she wanted to because she didn't want to be heard by anyone - she simply let her tears fall as they mixed with her blood dripping down her chin because of the one-hit that she received on her front and the tip of the whip collided with her chin drawing blood, she closed her eyes as more and more tears dripped from the corner of her eyes, " please, please hurry up ..Ah Yan …Ah Jing …Ah Chen..Ah Rui..Ah Yu, because I can't hold on anymore .. Please I am begging you come soon ,I am waiting for you ,please don't leave me here for long" she uttered a silent plea that no one other than her could hear .
