The King's Enchanting-Chapter 1439 - 1451: In Danger (5)
The more afraid she felt, the calmer her heart became. She took several deep breaths, struggling to regain her composure.
Continuing to provoke Situ Xuan at this time was not a wise choice! Although she had known Situ Xuan for a long time, she didn’t understand his personality well. The only thing she could sense was that Situ Xuan was not as gentle and harmless as he appeared!
He was like a lion, patiently allowing the rabbit beside him to play safely when he was full. But when he needed to eat, he would pounce without hesitation and bite her throat!
She had already angered him once, and her recent attempt to escape had failed. Attempting to flee again had low probabilities of success.
Yet, even with low odds, she had to plan for herself!
Thinking of this, she tightly clenched her fists, even digging her nails into her flesh, using this pain as a reminder that she must not admit defeat!
On the surface, though, she truly relaxed, even ceased struggling entirely, becoming soft and weak, like a drifting cloud gently lying in his arms.
Situ Xuan was slightly surprised but wasn’t foolish. Just moments ago, Jian Anning had attempted to escape and he knew she was resolute in her thoughts; she wouldn’t be swayed by a few words to switch sides easily, nor would she give up so effortlessly now!
Still, despite this, he rarely enjoyed her dependence. He kept one arm tightly around her waist, and with his free hand swiftly took out the car key and pressed the lock button!
Then, he quickly threw the key onto the back seat, meaning if he didn’t jump back to retrieve the key, she couldn’t escape!
Fear instantly surged through her entire nerves! Yet Situ Xuan didn’t seem like the kind of brute who would advance when seeing she couldn’t escape. After tossing the key, his hand even gently brushed her cheek, the slightly cool fingertips lingering on her lips...
The way he slowly wore down her emotions was like cutting meat with a dull knife! If he had initially attacked her, she might have been furious, resisted desperately, panicked, and hated him to death. But now, he simply tossed the key, telling her she couldn’t escape at all! This invisible pressure was even greater! It could almost crush a normal person’s will!
Both of them were playing a psychological game!
When Situ Xuan saw Jian Anning’s gaze slowly fall onto the phone that had just dropped by her feet, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly he released her grip, bent down, picked up the phone, and tossed it to the back without saying a word!
"No!" Jian Anning finally couldn’t hold it in and shouted out! Situ Xuan effectively severed her last chance for help! This shout exposed her intent to escape just now. Sure enough, she heard a deep laughter behind her head!
Then, an arm once again wrapped around her from behind, and this time, Situ Xuan’s other hand wasn’t so well-behaved, instead, it gently slid over her neck, reaching her collar’s edge, lingering back and forth! His voice exploded like the devil’s: "What are you afraid of?"
