Chapter 641: Extended Death Sentence

Guan Tang said, enunciating each word, “Of course, it’s up to me. Your life is in my hand now, after all. How dare you try to negotiate with me.”

Jiahui said nonchalantly, “Alright, then do what you want.”

Jiahui’s nonchalance stunned Guan Tang for a moment. When she recovered her senses, she said angrily, “Don’t forget you’re my prisoner now.”

Jiahui knew she had misspoken again so she remained silent.

Guan Tang’s expression was gloomy as she said, “I’ll definitely let you see the man you love betray you with your own eyes.”

Then, Guan Tang reached out and lifted Jiahui’s chin as she said, “I really want you to die. However, I’m still not familiar with this city. It won’t be easy to deal with you if you die now so I’ll let you live for now. Moreover, I want you to witness your man’s change of heart. Apart from that, I really need someone to talk to. After all, I have to face those people every day; it makes me feel like vomiting.”

Jiahui was not surprised by these words. “Oh, so the death sentence has been extended, and I’ve been given a reprieve.”

Guan Tang smiled. “Not only are you good-looking, but you’re almost smart. I kind of like you. You’re right. The death sentence is postponed for now. Worst comes to worst, we’ll just die together in the future.”

Jiahui nodded. “Let’s see how long this lasts. By the way, can you untie me? I promise I won’t run. It’s not like I can escape anyway.”

Guan Tang stroked Jiahui’s face as she said, “Just because you said you won’t run, you think I’d believe you? How stupid do you think I am?”

“Fine, forget what I said,” Jiahui said helplessly.

Guan Tang smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll still untie you. After all, I’m not worried you’d be able to escape.”

With that, Guan Tang gently loosened the knot, but she did not completely untie it. Then, before she left, she said cheerfully, “I’m going to entertain those self-righteous people now. I doubt you’d commit suicide. If you want to escape, you can try thinking of a way. It’s also a way for me to verify if the person who sold me the house is reliable or not.”

Guan Tang did not even look back at Jiahui, who was struggling to untie herself, as she closed the door behind her. After closing the door, she leaned against the door. She raised her head slightly as she closed her eyes.

Life was just like a drama, and she was just an insignificant supporting character. However, no one would expect that a supporting character wanted a life of her own. She would not be someone who waited to be called upon only when needed.

.After a moment, Guan Tang straightened her back and turned to glance at the shut door with a faint smile on her face.

…

At this time, Yin Jia and Ye Cheng were having a pleasant lunch together. The duo chatted happily. Over the past ten days, they had met a few times. From the initial chance encounter to their date now.

Yin Jia’s heart was filled with happiness.

Ye Cheng thoughtfully served Yin Jia the dishes as he said, “Try this. It’s the restaurant’s specialty.”

Yin Jia thanked him before he said, “You’re a very attentive person.”

Ye Cheng smiled and said, “No, I’m just attentive to you. How can I not be attentive to the girl I’m pursuing?”

Yin Jia was stunned by these words. Her face flushed red immediately. She did not expect Ye Cheng to be so direct. After a moment, she asked, “You, don’t you have a girlfriend?”

Ye Cheng smiled and picked some food for her. He did not directly answer her question. Instead, he said, “My parents married for the sake of business, and they were unhappy in their marriage. I witnessed their fights and cold wars, mutually hurting each other, since I was young. Those things had traumatized me.”

“Married for business? Your family…” Yin Jia quickly caught the main point.

Ye Cheng nodded slightly. “They didn’t have any feelings for each other but married each other for their status. In any case, I’ve been avoiding them. I don’t want to marry for the sake of business.”

Yin Jia nodded to indicate she understood him. “However, you can still marry someone you like with equal status. Perhaps, someone like a childhood sweetheart…”
