Noble Marriage

25: Chapter 25 If she comes out, take her down!

25: Chapter 25 If she comes out, take her down!

The car soon arrived at the villa.

Lin Xinlan opened the door, got out, and didn’t wait for Rong Shaoze.

She calmly walked into the living room ahead of him, then turned and ran upstairs, entering her bedroom and locking the door behind her.

She did all this very quickly, in one go.

She also pushed the dressing table over to block the door, and then the bed too.

Just as she finished doing this, a huge banging noise suddenly erupted.

“Lin Xinlan!

Open the door for me!” A roar echoed throughout the entire villa, almost shaking the doors and windows.

Rong Shaoze, standing outside, had a face ashen with anger.

His eyes seethed with intense fury, like a wild beast in a frenzy.

Lin Xinlan mustered her courage and shouted back, “I won’t open it!

Rong Shaoze, what kind of man are you to force me time and again!

I have no interest in you, you should take the hint!

Don’t think everyone wants to throw themselves at you – I don’t give a damn!

If you’re horny, go find some other woman.

There’s no shortage of women willing to serve you, so stop bothering me!”
After Lin Xinlan finished shouting, she felt much better inside.

Yet, it became eerily quiet outside, without a single sound.

Her heart couldn’t help but start to pound chaotically.

“Bang—” A loud noise against the door made her fall to the ground in fright.

“Bang—” Another thunderous sound.

Rong Shaoze was kicking against the door with such force that it was terrifying.

The doors and windows kept shaking, and the door handle seemed about to break off.

Lin Xinlan quickly used all her strength to prop against the bed, pushing the bed and the dressing table harder against the door.

“Lin Xinlan, I’m counting to three, and if you don’t come out by then, I’m taking this door down!” After a few unsuccessful kicks, Rong Shaoze had no choice but to issue a harsh threat.

Lin Xinlan’s palms were sweaty, her lips pressed tightly together.

She felt less frightened now, instead her anger surged even more.

“I won’t go out, not even if I die!” If she went out, would she have any chance to live?

The voice of Rong Shaoze, grinding his teeth in anger, chilled the air outside the door, “Fine, if you won’t come out, then you’d better never come out, otherwise I won’t spare you!”
The servants had long been awakened by the noise, each standing behind him looking extremely cautious.

He turned his head and ordered loudly, “Watch the door!

If she comes out, seize her!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
Then, Lin Xinlan heard his footsteps as he walked away.

She lay on the bed, exhausted, gripping the sheets so tight her knuckles turned white.

Locked in her bedroom, she couldn’t go out, but at least she didn’t have to face his coercion.

Lin Xinlan secured the door and slept peacefully that night.

The next day, she didn’t go out.

When she got thirsty, she drank tap water from the bathroom.

When she got hungry, she still drank tap water.

Throughout the day, she kept drinking water and running to the toilet until eventually she was utterly exhausted.

She knew that she definitely couldn’t last many days like this.

How many people can endure hunger, after all?

Should she really compromise?

She didn’t know, but she was sure that she wouldn’t bow to evil until the very last moment.

Another day passed, and Lin Xinlan hadn’t eaten anything the day before.

She felt terribly hungry and still had some energy, so she continued to lie in bed, playing dead.

Outside the window, little birds flew past, chirping away.

She turned her head to look, and her eyes suddenly brightened.

She hurriedly tore the bed sheets into strips, making a sturdy rope.

She tied one end of the rope to the bedpost and the other around her waist, then slowly climbed down from the window.

Lin Xinlan slipped out of the villa unnoticed by the servants and made her way to the city.

She didn’t know where to go and didn’t dare to run away, because she knew that if she did, Rong Shaoze would definitely find her and not let her go.

She just found a small diner, ate her fill, bought some dry food, and then sneaked back into the villa.
