Chapter 15 - cook up a plan

..

By the time Lily woke up again, it was the middle of the night. Lily gnashed her teeth and couldn't help thinking that this world really didn't want to see her happy.

Lily opened an eyelid and peeked around the room. Her fear subsided slightly, and she calmed down when she saw that there was nobody else in the room. If she had seen the sight of that person, Lily would have definitely fainted out of sheer fear.

Lily furrowed her brows, lost in thought. Where did it go wrong? How was it that Zane Ji didn't send her away and instead tormented her in such a way?

Lily had already planned everything she would say, but who knew that she didn't have to say much, because her words didn't work on him? How was that possible?

Lily furrowed her brows; she couldn't help thinking that it seemed she had underestimated Zane's character, and she had to think of another plan.

Before Lily could complete her thoughts, the door opened and Zane strode in.

Zane's upper body was bare, revealing his toned body and abs, and he was in long black pants that accentuated his long and straight legs.

Lily's eyes fell into a trance. For a face-con like Lily, who had always been obsessed with handsome men, seeing Zane like this made her stunned for a moment. She couldn't help thinking that he was truly unparalleled; even her crush couldn't hold a candle compared to Zane.

Seeing the woman foolishly staring at him, Zane's eyebrows flickered. Zane walked toward her while holding a bowl of porridge. He placed it next to the bed and said, "Stand up and eat."

"For me?" Lily snapped out of her reverie and touched her chest in bewilderment. Zane brought food for her?

Lily's brows furrowed, and she eyed him. "Are you sure there is no poison there, Mr. Ji? I understand if you want to divorce me or kick me out, but you can't kill me. I'd rather leave. You don't have to force me..."

Zane glared at her faintly, making her smack her lips together. "Stop thinking nonsense. You are right; nobody is above a mistake. I won't send you away. You are going nowhere," he said with feigned magnanimity, as if he didn't know what the woman was talking about. He clearly knew that she wanted to leave, but he pretended not to.

If it were some other lady, she would definitely be happy. But for Lily, she felt as if she was going to die. Lily wanted to cry. Why wasn't it happening according to the plan? Huh? Why wouldn't he let her go?

Lily cupped her hands together. "Thank you," Lily bitterly uttered, trying to hide the despair in her heart.

Seeing a constricted expression on her face, yet not being able to talk, Zane was satisfied. He raised his chin and motioned toward the restroom. "Go and brush your teeth."

Lily nodded her head and wiped the tears brewing in her heart. She gritted her teeth and broke out in a sweat. This was where the real job began. Pain shot through Lily's back immediately when she sat straight, making her groan.

Lily gnashed her teeth, cursing unrestrainedly in her heart. Just kill her already. Because the suffering in this world is too much for her to bear!

Seeing her painful expression, Zane was extremely satisfied. Perhaps this would teach her to learn and behave. Playing all these sorts of tricks on him. If he couldn't figure out what her plan was, then he wasn't worthy of being the CEO of the corporation.

Zane stood by her as Lily struggled, having no intention of helping. Seeing Zane looking at her nonchalantly made Lily's anger flare up, and she couldn't help cursing him inwardly: Such a heartless man, such a scumbag, such a jerk. Hmph! If it wasn't for that ruthless man, Lily wouldn't be in this position. Just kill her already.

Still, despite all this, she tried to sit up. The minute Lily's leg stepped on the floor, Lily's legs gave way, and she almost collapsed. That was when Zane finally took a step forward to help her. He wrapped his arm around Lily's waist and strode into the restroom.

Even though Lily was supposed to be pleased, she couldn't help cursing Zane in her heart. Shameless. Really heartless. Clearly, Zane could have helped Lily from the beginning, yet he had watched her struggle before helping her. Only heaven knows what this shameless man was thinking.

Zane strode into the bathroom and shut the door before placing her down. Lily picked up her brush and brushed her teeth before making her way toward the bathtub.

Lily paused, and her expression changed when she saw Zane leaning against the wall without any intention to leave.

Lily eyed Zane. "Why are you still here? You should..."

A contemplative look appeared on Zane's face, and he eyed her from head to toe, causing her to shiver. He seriously said, "I just realized that we haven't had fun here yet."

Lily's eyes widened, and her jaw dropped in horror. It can't be.

Zane took a step forward, and he looked down at her. "Do you still feel unsatisfied?"

A chill coursed down Lily's spine, and she felt that place hurt. Her eyes widened, and she cupped her hands together. She gritted her teeth. "I feel very satisfied. Very much satisfied. Thank you..."

Zane looked at her and shook his head. "I feel like you are just saying this. You don't have to worry. I understand you."

Lily roared in her heart. You understand what? She isn't feeling any hunger toward that thing that seems to never want to take a break. She's only hungry for a main meal. Okay? Okay?

However, despite Lily's refusal, she was soon dragged into the bathtub by a shameless man. By the time Zane stepped out of the bathroom, Lily had passed out. The last thought in Lily's heart was that this man is just too shameless. Didn't he say he brought the porridge for her so she could eat? How was it that she didn't eat before she fainted again?

Lily finally woke up in the morning. But before she opened her eyes, she inwardly swore that if she saw that man again, she'd definitely pass out. When her eyes opened to see nobody in the bedroom, Lily sighed in joy.

Damn it. Lily didn't know how she provoked that male lead. Despite his smiling face, in fact, his actions were not smiling. He's really too cruel toward her!

Lily needed to think of a plan. She really needed to cook up a plan so that she could escape before he became crazier than she could handle.

Lily originally thought that it was just conquering the male character in a book that she had read. However, in just a few days, Lily had already learned her lesson and realized that it wasn't that simple!

Lily gritted her teeth and tried to sit up. But she broke out in a sweat and cursed in pain. Although the pain had lessened compared to what she expected, it was still very unbearable.
