469: Dead meat

Dead meat

"Ahh…'' Shi Luo groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. All that greeted her vision was darkness. She wondered if it was because she was in a dream or probably because her thirst was giving her hallucinations, ''Water…'' she mumbled.  1

Her body was so weak that she could barely lift her finger. 

She leaned back on the wall for a few seconds before mustering her courage to stand up but she felt a restraint on her wrists. 

''What the fuck is this?" Shi Luo stroked the thing on her wrist which felt like some kind of chains, ''Handcuffs….?" 

As her drowsiness started fading, she realized what happened to her before she lost consciousness. 

''I am kidnapped,'' she muttered in horror. 

''Noisy…'' came a female voice beside her. 

''Oh?'' Shi Luo looked around in the dark, ''Someone else is here too? Miss, who are you?" 

''Umm.. Let me sleep. Get lost.'' 

"_" 

''Generally, I respect everyone's privacy and space but the thing is, this is not your bedroom. You are not sleeping, you were knocked out instead.'' 

The person did not reply to her after that and Shi Luo helplessly sighed believing that she was too much into dreamland to realize the circumstances she was in. 

Just as she was contemplating over  it, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps. 

Soon a small bulb started flickering, lighting up the place dimly. 

Shi Luo frowned. This place looked like a prison cell. 

She glanced at the person who was standing outside the cell, ''Where is she?" 

The bulky man squatted on the floor and pushed two set of cup noodles inside by the gaps between the rods. 

''Even if I appreciate that she has a conscience, how am I supposed to eat that with this?" She raised her hand, flashing the handcuffs at him. 

The man nonchalantly stood up and turned around to leave but he seemed to have been reminded of something as he paused. He turned around to look at her, ''Boss said that you should lick it like a dog.'' 

Shi Luo's lips thinned. That bitch…. She inhaled a deep breath to calm herself. 

As soon as the man left, she lifelessly slumped back on the wall. 

''Oh…'' She was reminded of the fact that she was not the only person here. There was someone else too who was currently immersed in her dreamland. She tilted her head to the side only for her eyes to widen, ''It's you….!" she exclaimed in astonishment. 

The woman who was rubbing her eyes after waking up turned to look back at her, confusion and shock apparent in her eyes. 

… 

Shi Xia tapped her fingers on the arm of the couch as she looked through the pictures in her phone, ''Mm… This one here looks like my daughter's type,'' she glanced at the man who had messy hair, a handsome face and lean yet muscular body, ''I have also confirmed that he is 2 years younger than her. This date is going to be a success.'' 

As a mother, she could clearly see that her daughter was too much into Jun Boyan but the initial image of that man was ruined in her mind. And she disapproved of their relationship. If anything, she would prefer that man to stay far away from her precious daughter. 

Since the previous blind date with Caleb did not work out, she made sure to do some proper research this time. She found the exact type of man that Shi Luo preferred. This man shared similar physical qualities with Jun Boyan and other than that, he was an excellent man. 

Shi Xia believed that this blind date would be a success, ''I can't wait Luoluo's marriage already,'' a soft smile made its way to her lips, ''Who knows how long I will live? Maybe, it's better if she has a family and lots of kids. That way, even if anything happens to me, I have nothing to worry about.'' 

She wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and glanced at the time on her watch, ''Hmm? It's past 10 pm already. Why is Luoluo not back yet?'' 

Shi Xia frowned. That silly girl came here after taking a few days off from her work but did she start working from here? 

''Love, what are you doing?" 

Shi Xia stiffened. Love? 

Her daughter…. Has kept a man at her place? 

A secret lover?

Or maybe a hidden husband? 

How long has it been since they are living together? 

Do they have kids? 

She pushed herself to her feet, hearing the sound of the door opening and closing. She turned around in that direction. 

All her bizarre thoughts came to a halt the moment her gaze landed on the man who was walking towards her. 

Jun Boyan froze with his eyes widening in disbelief. 

Earlier this day, Shi Luo told him that she would be coming to her place to get her clothes and some work documents. 

So after finishing his work, he went back to his place half an hour ago but he did not see her there when he reached. 

The guards told him that she was not back yet. 

So, he decided to come here to pick her up. 

Since the door was unlocked and he spotted a pair of stilettos outside, he concluded Shi Luo was here, not knowing that those heels belonged to his future mother-in-law. 

A mini devil Jun Boyan appeared on his left shoulder, 'Are you kidding me? Mother-in-law? She would be your other-in-law if you stayed alive.' 

Jun Boyan gulped. Was it too late to run away? 

'She is a kind and elegant person. Murder and all does not sems to be her kind of things. Maybe it won't be that bad because I can say, she looks very reasonable,' Angel Jun Boyan consoled him. 

'Dead meat Jun Boyan,' the devil scoffed.

Jun Boyan shook them off his shoulder and walked towards Shi Xia, ''Aunt, long time no see,'' he bowed at her before standing straight.
