238 Please Take Me Back
“Su Tian.” The nurse pushed open the door of the ward and knocked on the table twice. “Someone is here to see you.”
Su Tian looked up.
After living in the mental hospital for half a month, she looked much more haggard, like a withering daffodil.
At the urging of the nurse, she went to the office. When she saw the familiar figure, her eyes lit up.
“Song!” She knelt at his feet, tears streaming down her face. “I know I was wrong. Can you take me back?”
Xiao Song asked the chauffeur to wait at the door.
He raised Su Tian’s chin and slapped her cheek. “You don’t want to go abroad anymore?”
Not only was Su Tian not angry at being slapped, but she also hugged his leg like she was holding onto a life-saving boat.
“No!” She looked at him with red and swollen eyes. “Master, I’ll never leave you again.”
Xiao Song sneered. “It’s too late to say that.” He looked down and gestured for her to let go. “I can’t protect you now.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m not the one who sent you in.” He played with the lighter. “Do you understand?”
Su Tian was stunned. “If not you, then who?”
“Don’t you know who you’ve offended?”
“I didn’t offend anyone.” She moved forward and pressed herself against his suit pants. “Don’t scare me. I really don’t want to go abroad anymore.”
“I don’t have to waste.” Xiao Song tapped his cigarette. “Your apartment is sold.”
“How much did you sell?”
“Nine hundred thousand.” He stubbed out his cigarette and looked down at her. “I’ll take this money and extend the contract for another two years.”
“Two years?!”
“You’re not willing?”
“No.” Su Tian met his dark eyes and shook her head repeatedly. “I’m just curious. Why extend it for two years?”
Xiao Song glanced at her indifferently and did not respond.
He picked up the cell phone on the table and walked out. Before opening the door, he said, “Enjoy it. You can continue paying your debt in two years.”
A warm wind blew into the office, but Su Tian, who was kneeling on the ground, did not feel any warmth. She even felt cold.
She was like a puppet whose soul had been taken away. She even forgot how she was dragged to the playground by the nurse.
The mentally ill people were playing around in pairs. The ‘Daoist priest’ who wanted to subdue her last time came again.
She knew very well that this was only the beginning.
She could not escape.

At the end of May, Lin City was at the beginning of summer.
The scorching sun passed through the clouds and attacked every corner with the wind wrapped in heat waves.
The Y.L. Dessert shop on Sycamore Street was doing well.
Pei Yilan helped the employees pack the boxes before sitting at the round table in the corner to do some accounting.
She tapped on the calculator so seriously that she did not even notice Lin Jiao walking over.
“Boss Pei.” Lin Jiao put down the plastic bag and pulled out a chair to sit down. “Your rice noodles are here.”
Pei Yilan, who was distracted, looked up in the direction of the voice and forgot the number she wanted to write down.
She shoved the paperwork aside and took the pair of chopsticks with a smile. “I wanted to ask you just now, but I was so busy that I forgot.”
“Are there many customers in the morning?”
“It’s alright.” She rolled up a mouthful of rice noodles. “It’s probably because it just opened. They’re all here for the half price discount.”
“It’s normal.” Lin Jiao smiled. “The dessert chef here is quite good. You’ll definitely have a lot of repeat customers in the future.”
“I think so too.” Pei Yilan swallowed the beef in her mouth and asked the employee to pour two glasses of water.
The topic changed quickly from Y.L. to the General Manager’s Office and then to Song Zhen.
“I heard that they’re playing their own games now.” She wiped the oil off her lips. “Yuan Tong even hung out with a male model some time ago.”
“She cheated on him?”
“I think it’s possible.”
There were many marriages in name only. Lin Jiao felt that it was normal.
After all, not everyone was so lucky to be able to do what they wanted and marry someone they loved.
“I’ll go back first.” She threw the tissues on the table into the trash can. “Go in and sleep for a while.”
Y.L. had a lounge. Although it was not big, there was still room for a bed.
“Alright.” Pei Yilan stretched her body lazily.
Lin Jiao had been working in the General Manager Office for more than a month and was much closer to her colleagues than before.
She passed by the office and greeted her colleagues who were still awake before walking straight to the President’s office.
“Wifey.” Pei Zhi, who was sitting in the office chair, reached out and pulled her into his arms.
He kissed her forehead. “Is it hot outside?”
...
“It’s hot.” Lin Jiao unbuttoned her shirt, revealing her red collarbone. “It’s all your fault. I can’t wear a dress.”
Not only her collarbone, but her arms and legs were also branded with a kiss mark.
At the thought of the madness last night, Pei Zhi’s gaze became dark.
He pushed open her collar and caressed her skin with his calloused hand. “The air conditioned room is very cold. You’ll feel cold if you wear a dress.”
“But I want to go out.”
“Then why don’t you wear a long dress?” Pei Zhi carried her to the lounge. “Or do you want to put on a sweater over your dress?”
“I’ll go home and take a look at the closet tonight.” Lin Jiao lay on the soft bed with him and relaxed.
She touched his lips. “Good afternoon kiss.”
“Good girl.” Pei Zhi stroked her long hair and suppressed the evil thoughts in his heart before falling asleep with her in his arms.
