Chapter 11 The Trap
Song Chengyuan crouched down and gently stroked my face with a coaxing tone.
"Your mother hurts you. My father ignores you. What can we do? It seems only I can help you, sister."
He whispered the last two words against my ear.
I closed my eyes. He was using the closed room to manipulate me.
If I were truly the weak and helpless Lin Ruxu, walking out of this door today would make me his pet to summon and dismiss at will.
My situation would only become harder.
I slapped his hand away. Tears filled my eyes but I refused to let them fall.
"You cannot help me because you are worse than them."
I said it childishly and broke free without hesitation, running out.
I needed Song Chengyuan's help, but not now and not as a pet.
Things obtained too easily would not be valued. At least he had to put in some effort.
