My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1964: Bowing the Head

Yiyi’s breath hitched, clenching her fist. What kind of gaze was that? Watching coldly at her miserable state, his posture arrogant and gloating, just waiting for her to ask him for help voluntarily, so he could graciously extend his hand and save her.

Was this deliberately to take revenge for her having dumped him earlier?

Her heart ached sharply.

If she really had to humble herself to beg him for help, she would feel too ashamed, it would severely wound her pride, leaving her with no dignity.

Therefore, she couldn’t bring herself to do it, and deep down, she couldn’t stand the thought of lowering her head in front of him, conceding defeat, feeling humiliated.

But the man staring at her now, Zhao Zhixuan, already had his eyes on her like a wolf on a chick, refusing to let her go. If she fell into his hands, there probably wouldn’t be a good outcome. This was the Fengye Family’s territory, it would be impossible for her to escape, and she wasn’t even sure if she could handle this man.

This made her, normally bold, unable to avoid sprouting a sense of fear.

Once again, she felt so uneasy, everything seemed out of control, leaving her unable to avoid feeling lost. Surveying the entire banquet, all she saw were strangers, not a single friend on her side, even Fengye Wuyue, a member of the Fengye Family, wouldn’t go against her father’s orders to help her.

Despite the hustle and bustle around her, she could only feel coldness, isolated and helpless.

And the only person who could possibly save her watched coldly, observing her humiliation without intervening, waiting for her to swallow her pride and ask him for help.

Yiyi felt an inexplicable sorrow and anger, glaring fiercely at Ling Kong opposite, feeling deeply wronged.

If it weren’t for saving him, would she have come to Yalan Country, gone to the battlefield, gotten injured, been captured by Fengye Wuyin, and ended up in such a humiliating position, being sold like a commodity?

Yet, what did she get in return? His cold, indifferent stare?

The more he wanted to force her to yield, to make her bow her head, the more she refused. She would rather endure greater humiliation, rely on herself, than ask him for help.

Having made this decision, she raised her head resolutely, her proud gaze meeting his mocking eyes, and snorted lightly from her nose.

All these changes in expression and her struggles, the humiliating demeanor fell into Ling Kong’s eyes, seeing her so uncomfortable, struggling, he thought he would feel contentment after being humiliated by her just now.

But instead, his mood became more uncomfortable, watching her aggrieved eyes, the faint stabbing pain and heartache in his chest, so obvious it couldn’t be ignored, proving that no matter how angry he was, he still cared about her.

But he still hardened his heart, not easily swayed by her, wanting to teach her a lesson, making sure she would not dare to act so recklessly again, disregarding him and trampling all over. He wanted her to learn to bow her head, to learn to submit! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

This time, she would definitely ask for help voluntarily, she would understand that in this world, only he could protect her.

For now, he quietly waited for her to speak.

He was also confident that with her personality, she absolutely wouldn’t be able to endure being sold and humiliated like this.

Then—

"Alright, I’ll have a good chat with Mr. Zhao, get to know each other better," Yiyi said resolutely, smiling as she agreed to Zhao Zhixuan’s request and left with him alone.

Ling Kong’s expression cracked, his eyes instantly cold and sharp, not expecting that in the end, she would rather humiliate herself by walking into the lion’s den with that fat man than lower her head even a fraction to ask him for help.

His eyes, like lightning, bore into her, a wave of strong anger in his chest.

But Yiyi didn’t cast him a single glance, leaving with the delighted Zhao Zhixuan.
