After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 226 I'll make you suffer a little

When I woke up, I was in a self-built house in the countryside, which looked like it had been built not long ago.

Because I had been drugged, I tried to move my limbs and then realized that I was tied up.

"Momo, don't move, I might have tied it a little too tightly."

Zhao Ning's voice rang out from the doorway.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but ever since I thought Zhao Ning was like a madman, his tone of voice has become abnormal.

One sentence gave me goosebumps instantly.

"Zhao Ning, what are you trying to do?"

"Momo, I like you so much. I've liked you since the first time we met, but you never even look at me. What's so great about that Jiang Yichen?!"

He kicked the low stool next to me away, and the smoke and dust blinded my eyes and choked my nose, making me cough uncontrollably.

"Momo, will you be with me?"

"Zhao Ning...cough cough...feelings can't be forced...cough cough."

Zhao Ning grinned, his malicious gaze sweeping over me.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it then. You'll just have to make do with this."

Zhao Ning's eyes were like those of someone looking at a delicious meal. I was worried that he might have mental health issues, and if I confronted him directly, it would be bad for both me and the baby. For now, I could only go along with him.

"Zhao Ning, please untie me first, it hurts a lot to be tied up like this."

Zhao Ning ignored me and ran out of the room by herself.

The room where I was left alone was eerily silent.

Last night I was planning to call Zhao Ning and arrange a time to meet.

I was on the phone as I walked into the house, but as soon as I got to the hallway, someone covered my mouth and nose, and I quickly lost consciousness.

It seems that the people who were following me that night weren't just Jiang Yichen's, but also Zhao Ning's.

Thinking of Jiang Yichen, I wonder what he's doing now, whether he's noticed I'm missing, or if he's on his way to find me.

In the city, Jiang Yichen searched every place I might have gone.

I haven't slept a wink all night since I received the call from my subordinate last night.

"President Jiang, there's nothing unusual about Song Le's side. Miss Lin shouldn't be with her."

"President Jiang, we've been tracking Shen Yan all morning, but we haven't found anything unusual."

"President Jiang, Lao Mo also called and said that Miss Lin has not been to the company or contacted him."

"If you can't find it, then keep looking! What use are you bunch of useless trash!?"

Jiang Yichen, who hadn't slept all night, had a stubble-covered face, disheveled clothes, and bloodshot eyes from worry.

He grabbed his subordinate by the collar and began to roar.

The group of subordinates were so frightened that they didn't dare to utter a sound.

"Yichen, calm down. Gu Mo might be like before, unhappy and deliberately avoiding you?" Lin Nan comforted him gently.

Jiang Yichen slumped in the sofa, his fingers digging deep into his hair.

“She wouldn’t go to an unfamiliar place on her own unless she was forced to go. I have a feeling that Momo might really be in danger this time.”

"Then let's call the police right away!" Lin Nan advised.

"No, we don't know what the kidnappers' purpose is. If it was premeditated, they will definitely be monitoring me. If they find out we called the police, they will kill me."

Jiang Yichen dared not think about what would happen next.

He took out his phone and called Gu Bai.

Has my sister still not contacted you?

As my family member, the first person Jiang Yichen contacted after discovering my disappearance was Gu Bai.

Jiang Yichen did not respond, but asked him if there was any way to find the location of the female lead's phone.

“I can connect to my sister’s mobile phone.”

"Here's what you'll do: try this method first and see if you can get in touch."

"It's no use. My sister's phone has been switched off since last night, and we can't reach her."

"Then keep in touch, don't stop!" Jiang Yichen raised his voice hoarsely, "If Momo has really been kidnapped, she will definitely try to contact us. We must seize every possibility."

"it is good."

Gu Bai remained silent for a while, then hung up the phone after saying only one word.

He used to dislike Jiang Yichen, but in this matter, he could truly feel Jiang Yichen's anxiety and panic. Perhaps he should start to change his opinion.

By noon, I was feeling drowsy, and the stuffy environment made me restless and uneasy.

Zhao Ning walked in carrying lunch.

"Momo, these should all be your favorite foods, try them."

Seeing my chance, I quickly pretended to be pitiful and said, "Zhao Ning, my hands and feet are tied up, how can I eat? Why don't you let me go? I'm just a weak woman, I can't run away."

"Momo, don't try anything funny." Zhao Ning opened her lunchbox, picked up a mouthful of rice, and put it to my mouth. "I'm much smarter than you think."

When he said this, his shrewd and calculating demeanor was completely different from the Zhao Ning I had previously remembered.

He forcefully grabbed my chin and, without saying a word, shoved the food into my mouth.

I was in pain, so I had no choice but to obediently do as I was told.

After finishing his meal, he found a chair and sat down in front of me.

"Momo, wouldn't you like to reconsider what I said?"

I steeled my resolve and said, "Zhao Ning, there are so many beautiful women in this world, why are you so fixated on one who's pregnant with another man's child?"

"so what?"

Zhao Ning gently placed her hand on my stomach, "It's alright if you miscarry."

His hands were icy cold, and the chill seeped from his stomach to the top of his head.

Zhao Ning didn't seem to be threatening anyone.

It seems I should just go along with him; angering him won't do me any good.

"Jiang Yichen, whom you've been longing for, is now inseparable from Lin Nan. He doesn't care about your disappearance at all. Gu Mo, what's so precious about a man like that?"

Zhao Ning said this probably to make me give up completely.

Jiang Yichen sent people to follow me, and they discovered that it was impossible for me to have disappeared without taking action.

Right now, stalling for time is the most important thing.

"Zhao Ning, I don't actually like Jiang Yichen that much. My parents have been threatened by him, so I had no choice but to do this."

After saying this, Zhao Ning's expression began to relax.

I continued, "Now that I'm missing, my parents must be terribly worried. Why don't you let go of me so I can let them know I'm safe?"

Before he could refuse, I continued to play the victim. "Look at my wrists, they've been tied up for a whole day and night, my hands are all swollen. Besides, relationships are about mutual consent. Since I'm interested in you, you don't want to make a big deal out of this, right? What if you don't let my parents know I'm safe and they worry about me and call the police?"

"They dare?!"

Zhao Ning became somewhat frightened at the mention of calling the police.

I smiled smugly to myself.

Zhao Ning moved closer to me, narrowing his eyes dangerously. "I can untie you, but if you dare to make any other moves, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
