Su Qianxun could only feel water flooding towards her from all directions. The water surged into her ears, nose, and mouth. She wanted to breathe, but only water entered her nose. She felt extreme pain as she choked on the water. She wanted to cry out for help, but the water was also rus.h.i.+ng into her mouth... 

She was overwhelmed by extreme fear. Her nose was in immense pain as it was clogged with water. Just as she lost all hope, something suddenly pressed against her lips. Long Sijue pa.s.sed her some air before he forcefully paddled at the water with his legs. Both of them were propelled to the water's surface. 

The cruise s.h.i.+p beside them was already completely destroyed. Cries and screams for help rose from the sea.

Tang Zui, who was flying a helicopter, threw down a rescue ladder straight away when he spotted Long Sijue and Su Qianxun. Long Sijue carried the young woman, who was coughing non-stop because she had been choking on water, in one arm and grabbed the rescue ladder with his other arm.

Tang Zui flew the helicopter away from the sea's surface. 

Long Sijue carried Su Qianxun onto the helicopter, and Tang Zui immediately said, "Jue, quickly go to the bedroom in the back." 

Long Sijue carried Su Qianxun into the bedroom. He then placed her on the bed and kissed her eyes, which were tightly shut together.

Although Su Qianxun was feeling extremely uncomfortable, she was actually awake. Hence, she was well aware of everything that happened afterward. Moreover, she had confirmed once again that after she ate the painkillers, s*x was not as painful as it was before. Conversely, there was an increasingly prominent sensation, which was so strange that it made her anxious…

So much so that Su Qianxun was somewhat regretful that she secretly ate the painkillers. She truly would have rather fainted from the pain so that she would not have to feel or know anything. 

She also did not know how long he tortured her. She was somewhat conscious the entire time, and she could feel him bathing her before placing her on the bed. He then kissed her lips and left.

Su Qianxun woke up in Jin Garden. She did not know how long she had been asleep, so she was a little disoriented.

"Young mistress, you're awake. Are you hungry?" Aunt Qi made her way through the door. As usual, she had a kind smile on her face.

"Aunt Qi, what time is it now?" This time, Su Qianxun was dressed in pajamas. She had a feeling that Long Sijue was the one who put in on for her.

"It's already past noon. You've slept for two days and two nights." 

"Two days and two nights?"

"Yes, two days and two nights. I called the young master out of worry because I thought you were sick. The young master told me not to disturb you and just let you sleep."

Su Qianxun was speechless.

"I'm sure you're hungry. The young master instructed me to always have food ready in case you wake up." Aunt Qi beamed as she looked at her. 

Su Qianxun was at a loss for words.

Su Qianxun did not think that Long Sijue did that because he cared about her. 'It's definitely because he's afraid that there wouldn't be anyone to bear his child if anything happens to me. Besides, he needs someone to torture on the first and fifteenth day of every month.'

Su Qianxun was indeed hungry. She lifted the blanked and got off the bed as she tried to probe, asking, "Can I leave this bedroom?"

"Of course you can! The young master said that you can do whatever you want in Jin Garden."

"What if I want to go out?"

"About that… the young master did not say anything."

Su Qianxun knew that Long Sijue was not so kind. But from being imprisoned in a bedroom to being imprisoned in a mansion, her range of activities had widened by quite a lot. She should feel happy. She might even be able to go anywhere she wanted to if she continued to fight for her freedom.

When Su Qianxun went to clean herself up, she saw her half-covered b.u.t.terfly mark in the mirror. She pulled down her s.h.i.+rt to look at it. When she saw the b.u.t.terfly mark in its entirety, her beautiful eyebrows scrunched up into a frown.

The color of the b.u.t.terfly mark had darkened a little, and it appeared even clearer...
