Chapter 4, The Godfather’s Promise (Part Four)
Finally, after what felt like a century of silence, the Godfather slowly opened his mouth and said –
“Do you… have something to tell me?”
Damn it!
This guy was definitely doing it on purpose!
“Why are you asking such obvious questions? Stop messing around!”
But…
Since you asked sincerely, I will kindly tell you! In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the world’s peace, and to embody the evil of love and truth, the adorable and charming antagonist… Okay, okay, I’m going all out!
“Ahem… well… um… didn’t we agree before that if I completed the ninety-nine tasks you assigned me, you would… um… let me…”
That’s enough, that’s enough!
While Shen Qingmei spoke, she had already buried her head in her chest, as if she wanted to disappear.
So nervous! And so scared! She said it! She really said it! It’s like she’s throwing caution to the wind!
The intermittent and trembling voice slowly settled in the dusty room. The warm sunlight shone through the window, casting a sparkling white light on the floor, the blanket, and the pillow. Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a majestic and ancient cherry blossom tree bloomed with dazzling pink flowers. A gentle breeze blew, carrying numerous cherry blossom petals into the room, swirling and landing beside the Godfather.
The tall figure cast a diagonal shadow on the floor, motionless like a sculpture. Shen Qingmei bit her lip, fixedly staring at the Godfather’s projected image on the floor. The pounding of her chest gradually reached its limit, her mind a jumble of confusion, and an intense burning sensation spread throughout her body.
But damn it!
After Shen Qingmei finished speaking, the Godfather didn’t respond at all!
Isn’t this so frustrating! Couldn’t he at least say something! Even if he told her to leave, she would have accepted it!
Clutching her fists tightly, Shen Qingmei couldn’t bear it any longer. She took a deep breath, about to break the silence, but the Godfather calmly and leisurely asked a question in return.
“Is that true? I don’t seem to recall.”
A series of expletives ran through Shen Qingmei’s mind, one after another, two after another, three after another… ten thousand expletives ran through her mind!
Son of a…! He really changed his mind! He broke his promise!
As soon as the words fell, Shen Qingmei stood there, stunned. Her eyes glazed over, her expression filled with bitterness and frustration, as if she had lost everything in an instant. She was on the verge of bursting into tears with a loud cry.
Swallowing hard, Shen Qingmei didn’t even have the energy to lift her eyelids, let alone the mood to question the Godfather. She let out a self-mocking laugh, tinged with a strong sense of disdain.
“Heh, it seems I remembered wrong. I’m leaving.”
Saying that, without waiting for the Godfather’s response, Shen Qingmei turned around and walked out without even lifting her head.
However, before she could take two steps, her wrist was grabbed by someone and forcefully pulled back towards them. Then, with a gentle yet firm pull, she was pulled back into their embrace.
“I was just teasing you.”
The Godfather’s cool and magnetic voice sounded faintly above her head.
“That promise, I remember.”
Simple words, as simple as can be, an ordinary sentence, but to Shen Qingmei’s ears, it sounded more beautiful than any sweet words. It reached her heart, making it skip a beat, driving her momentarily insane.
Shen Qingmei had never been in such close contact with the Godfather before, never touched his skin. Suddenly being embraced by his strong and powerful arms, she was completely unable to react.
When she slowly came to her senses, that feeling… Oh, it was so blissful that she felt like she could die!
Slowly lifting her arm, she didn’t even dare to touch him, afraid that it was just a beautiful dream that could shatter with a single touch.
Perhaps it was because of the bath in the fragrant orchid flowers, the Godfather had a stronger scent than usual, but it wasn’t overpowering. The fragrant aroma was intoxicating, captivating Shen Qingmei, who couldn’t help but take a few more sniffs. Even though she knew very well that the scent of these flowers had an enchanting and hypnotic effect, she willingly succumbed to it.
After all, the Godfather was the Godfather. That ruthless and emotionless, desireless and unyielding iceberg always remained calm and almost cruel at crucial moments.
In less than half a minute, he let go of her hand.
Shen Qingmei lifted her arm that was still hanging in the air, unable to wrap it around his slender waist. She was forced to let it drop, regretting it so much that she wanted to chop off her own hand – damn, she was so useless! She deserved not to get any tofu!
“Tell me, how do you plan to toy with me?”
Pfft–!
Hearing these words, Shen Qingmei felt like her nose was about to spray blood!
Godfather, can you not be so provocative?! Do you have any idea how powerful those words are when they come from your mouth?!
Well, even though she used the word “toy” when they made the agreement, she was just daydreaming by herself at the time. She never expected the Godfather to actually say it in such a passionate way. His charm index skyrocketed instantly. Damn, this is the difference between a god and a mortal!
Having obtained the Godfather’s consent firsthand, Shen Qingmei’s inner fire burned fiercely once again. It felt as if she had been handed a golden badge that could freely traverse heaven and earth. However, this man in front of her was too cunning. Shen Qingmei still felt lingering fear from his unprecedented “teasing” just now.
“Are you sure that no matter what I do to you, you’ll cooperate?”
The Godfather spoke calmly and composedly.
“Mmm.”
Shen Qingmei smiled brightly, as radiant as a spring flower. “Alright!”
Seeing Shen Qingmei eagerly pounce towards him, Royi thought she would just throw him onto the bed, but to his surprise, she only grabbed his wrist and pulled him to a nearby chair.
“You sit down first, I need to prepare…”
Following her instructions, Royi took a seat and watched as Shen Qingmei took off her backpack and placed it on the table. She rummaged through it, pulling out one item after another: a whip, candles, handcuffs, ribbons, ankle restraints, chains, and various other BDSM toys…
After seeing the neatly arranged pile of tools on the table, a dark shadow slowly enveloped the pale face of the Godfather. His deep eyes slanted slightly at the corners, emitting a sharp and bright aura.
Once she had finished arranging the props, Shen Qingmei walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and drew the thinnest layer of white sheer curtains, isolating the room from the outside world.
Although she was well aware that it was impossible for anyone to spy on the Godfather’s private life in this castle, she didn’t want to reveal even a hint of her privacy. Not even the birds perched on the cherry blossom trees should catch a glimpse!
