Falling For The Contract Bride

Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Didn’t You Love Me For Just a Little Bit

When she reached the place where Xie Xiu was, she was forced onto her knees in front of Xie Xiu. She looked at Xie Xiu stubbornly and exclaimed, “Mr. Xie, I have accomplished my task.”

“Accomplish what task?” Xie Xiu was in a black suit that set him off even more. He glared at Rao Man with sharp eyes as cold as daggers. He gave Rao Man a slap on the face.

However, this slap directly knocked Rao Man to the ground, and the corners of her mouth were instantly stained with blood.

But Rao Man only wiped the blood on the corners of her mouth away gently. She got up and knelt back down again.

She had only one knee on the ground. The other knee was not down at all. She acted as if she had returned from an order. She did not show any means to admit her mistake.

Xie Xiu looked at Rao Man sternly and kicked the hind leg which wasn’t on the floor. She fell onto her knees with a plop on the floor.

It was a stance of confession.

“Why do you do this?”

Xie Xiu began his interrogation at this time.

His eyes were cold enough to send chills into people’s bodies.

If Rao Man had seen such a gaze in the past, she would have been trembling with fright. But she had no response that day. She just gritted her teeth at Xie Xiu and then strenuously maintained the one-

knee-down stance. She professed to Xie Xiu, “Mr. Xie, I have completed my task!”

“Why did you do this?”

Xie Xiu roared at Rao Man.

“I’m asking you! Why did you do this?”

He glared at Rao Man as he went berserk, reaching out to grab Rao Man by her collar.

Rao Man merely watched Xie Xiu quietly. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. She gazed at Xie Xiu and said, “Because she deterred your judgment. She is unworthy of your love!”

“But there is no need for you to make the decision!”

Xie Xiu had never punished Rao Man before.

This girl had always been Xie Xiu’s favorite since she came.

But this time, Xie Xiu slowly walked to a door and opened it. He said to Rao Man, “Go in and pick a punishment you’d like.”

Rao Man stood up in silence and glanced at Xie Xiu with eyes dark as death.

The corners of her lips rose into a delighted smile.

Then she gradually walked towards the penalty room’s door. She turned around, looked at Xie Xiu and said, “Mr. Xie Xiu, I don’t think I was wrong.”

Mr. Xie Xiu did not reply to Rao Man. Seeing that she was ignored, Rao Man kept the smile on her face as she walked into the penalty room and gaped at the various punishments.

Most of the instruments of punishment here were made by Mr. Xie Xiu himself.

Every instrument was deadly, but they were specially made for the victims to experience sufferings before death.

All of them were designed for torture. The torture would normally last for half an hour, and then when both the body and spirit were tormented severely, the pain of death would be immense. There was a time when Rao Man had come to help Mr. Xie Xiu with these things and help those who had made mistakes choose their punishments.

She did not expect the day would come when she would have to choose her punishment.

She turned around and glanced at Xie Xiu. Standing in front of a snow-white skirt, she looked at the dress solemnly, then glanced back at Xie Xiu again, “Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie Xiu.”

She called Xie Xiu twice and then said, “Mr. Xie Xiu, do you really want to punish me? I grew up with you, don’t you understand what I want for you? I want Mu Zhi dead. Other than wanting to punish me, don’t you have any feelings for me at all?”

Xie Xiu didn’t even raise his eyes to look at Rao Man.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Rao Man’s eyes, and she continued, “Actually, I saw this today coming too, but I still held onto a slither of hope that I’d be a lucky dime.”

When she saw that Xie Xiu was still aloof, she took down the skirt.

It looked like a dress, but it was made of a very special material. Every inch was extremely sharp. It was nothing like cloth, but a very thin piece of iron that could cut through human flesh.

And this fishtail dress was equivalent to the ancient Ling Chi.

After putting it on, every inch of the material would wrap onto the body, and then you’d have to start walking.

While moving constantly, the fishtail would come into contact with the body and produce a cutting effect.

It would remove the human’s flesh piece by piece until one died from excessive bleeding.

However, this was the most beautiful punishment of all. The person would look beautiful at the time of death too, because of its attractive appearance.

Many female assassins who fell in love with other men would choose to die with this punishment.

While wearing the dress, Rao Man said to Xie Xiu again, “I thought that Mr. Xie Xiu would make an exception for me by luck.”

“After all, I came here when I was a minor. This was my home.”

After Rao Man put on the skirt, she didn’t even need anyone to drag her to walk. She started to walk slowly, step by step.

She continued keeping the smile on her face.

With every step she took, she continued to talk to Xie Xiu, “I started serving you, Mr. Xie Xiu, when I was eighteen years old. During the day, I was your adept assistant. At night, I warmed your sheets. Don’t you love me for just a little bit?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Xie Xiu just looked at Rao Man distantly and did not reply.

Every step Rao Man took at this time pained her like knife-cuts. With the sharp pain on her body, she could barely hold the smile on her face anymore, but… shortly after, she put back her smile.

Her eyes were always on Xie Xiu’s body.

She continued talking to Xie Xiu as she walked, “Don’t you know? I have never regarded you as my mentor, I have always liked you romantically.”

“Why can Mu Zhi obtain your love so easily, but I can’t?”

“Am I not pretty?”

Rao Man started to grow a little anxious when she said this. Blood had begun to drip under her feet then.

She looked at Xie Xiu quietly. She no longer followed the original trajectory, but slowly approached Xie Xiu. She reached out and touched Xie Xiu’s face, and asked him gently, “Mr. Xie, hadn’t you ever had any feelings for me before?”

“Do you still remember the night when I first had sex with you, you looked at my face and told me that I looked like a woman you once loved?”

“You said, you’d keep me by your side for the rest of my life.”

Rao Man was a little sad when she said these words.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

But Xie Xiu still did not respond.

Rao Man glanced at Xie Xiu sadly, “Sure enough, you don’t love me, and you hadn’t had a single thought for me at all.”

“But I don’t regret killing Mu Zhi. It doesn’t matter to me that you don’t love me. I love you and as long as everything I do benefits you, then it is good enough for me.”

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.”

Rao Man had prepared a lot of words, many of which were memories of her and Xie Xiu in the past.

But now… she didn’t want to say anything anymore.
