Su Wan had been left in the hut for more than three hours because Luo Xin didn''t want to kill her yet the hits that she delivered were shallow.


    They were not enough for Su Wan to die because of blood loss but just as Lin Chen said digging out flesh didn''t hurt as much as skinning did. Thus, Su Wan was in a lot of pain and ended up fainting when she opened her eyes she realized that she have caught a cold.


    Her body was burning and yet no one was there for her to call a doctor. She knew that Luo Xin didn''t care whether she was sick or not. As long as she was alive no one will care about her exact condition while remaining alive.


    Su Wan was suffering so much that she cursed thetter''s entire family to its eighteenth generation. No way in hell can a sane family ever raise a daughter like Luo Xin. She wasn''t just crazy she was a total maniac!


    Su Wan tugged on the ropes that were tied around her wrists and winced.


    They were just as tight as they were before how cunning that woman struck her with that whip for more than ten times yet not once did she mistakenly hit the ropes they were tying her! If only the whip hit these ropes just once!


    "Psst Wan Wan stop doing that." Su Wan paused at once. She thought that maybe she was in so much pain that she was imagining Lin Rui''s voice but then there was a low thump like a ss being broken and then someone jumped inside.


    Startled she turned around and sure enough it was Lin Rui. His right hand was bleeding because he broke the ss pane with his hand to muffle the noise. She stared at him like she couldn''t see him enough. "Ah Rui... Ah Rui.. you came... I .."


    Su Wan couldn''t even say anything. The cries that she has been holding in could no longer be held back but then Lin Rui ced his palm against her mouth.


    Silencing her cries as he made a shushing gesture he pointed his thumb over his shoulder as he whispered. "We don''t have much time just..just hold on for a while. I will get you out just bear with it a bit m…more."


    Su Wan realized that his voice was breaking as he looked away from her injuries like the mere sight of the blood on her body was hurting him.


    And when Lin Rui stretched his hands to untie the ropes on her wrists. Su Wan caught the tears glistening in his eyes as they trickled down his cheeks and dropped down on her face.


    Su Wan swallowed not knowing what to say -she didn''t like him crying especially not for her. But she knew that he was crying because he cared so much for her that he couldn''t bear to see her hurt like this.


    The realization hit her like a brick and her heartbeat turned erratic.


    The ropes on her wrist turned loose and Su Wan nearly dropped to her knees after losing so much blood. She no longer had the strength to stand by herself. Lin Rui caught her just in time just as she was going to drop on the floor.


    "It''s okay. It''s okay .. you are okay. Eldest brother is standing outside he will catch you just ..just hold on okay."


    Su Wan nodded not trusting herself to speak. She was feeling so many myriads of emotions that she was sure that the second she opened her mouth she would end up bawling her eyes out …The tightness in her throat was enough for her to know that.


    Lin Rui helped her up as he carried her to the tiny window that was the only source of light in the run-down hut.


    Lin Rui raised her in his arms but just as he was going to help her climb the window he paused and then without any hesitation he hugged her.


    So tightly that Su Wan had to grit her teeth from screaming out loud. "I am so sorry. Iam so sorry." whispered Lin Rui as he pulled away wiping her face he grimaced when his gaze fell on the small wound on her chin. "My God what has she done to you?"


    He carefully cleaned her face as if he was cleaning a porcin doll. "I will never forgive her." He swore he wanted to say something more but then he heard a low thump from the other side of the hut and hurriedly helped Su Wan to the window. "Don''t look behind just jump."


    Though it was a run-down hut, which was nowherepared to the Fu mansion. It was still a two-storey building that had been abandoned for a very long time. It was just that the building was too old and was just as weak as a small trodden down hut.


    Su Wan nodded to show that she understood and thus when Lin Rui helped her up to the window. She jumped down without even looking back she had full trust in her husbands and she knew that no matter what they will never let her fall.


    Her body continued to fall and then two warm arms secured her just in time and a secondter she was embraced in a hug that was enough to drive away all the chill in her body. "You are okay ..you are okay."


    Lin Jing was the eldest son and he was often taught as a child that he shouldn''t cry.


    That a muscr grown man who had never sheds tears due to his teaching which he had never forgotten. He didn''t cry when he slept empty stomach. He didn''t cry when he was often neglected by his parents. Nor did he cry when the wolf lunged at him and nearly wed his heart out -he was used to suffering.


    That was who Lin Jing was -but now as he caught glimpse of Su Wan''s bloodied and battered appearance he felt as if his heart was being sliced open with an ice-cold dagger and couldn''t help but shed a few tears.


    She was such a tiny, little thing, he didn''t even dare to hold her tight because he was afraid to squeeze her too hard. He didn''t dare to raise his voice when she was too willful ..he let her do whatever she wanted. He kept her close so that she never got hurt -yet that woman!


    Lin Jing pulled away and as his gaze fell on Su Wan''s injuries and a dark glint passed in his eyes - these injuries! He will return all of it to that woman with interest!
