"Dance with me, " Long Xun smiled.
Li Xiaolu looked at his hand silently. Before she could say something, Gao Yifeng pulled her sleeves and he whispered, "Don't... Elder sister."
Long Xun glanced at Gao Yifeng and he smiled."Don't worry, your sister doesn't belong to me now. I won't do anything that would make her feel uncomfortable, " he promised.
Li Xiaolu listened to his words and she looked in his eyes. Opening her mouth she refused, "I refuse."
"If I want to know about anything related to Zhang Zhehan and you, then I will ask him. I don't need to dance with you to know things about my husband, " she said.
A flash a rejection and pain crossed through Long Xun's eyes but he quickly covered up his emotions. Taking back his hand he smiled as if nothing happened. Shrugging his shoulders he chuckled, "Anyway its was worth a try."
"By the way Li Xiaolu if Zhang Zhehan loves you so much, then why is he not helping you?" Long Xun asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you think he is lacking. He's not worthy of your love. He is your husband then why can't he protect you? Why can't he help you in your revenge?" Long Xun questioned."Do you know how easy it is for him to destroy the Li family?"fr𝘦𝒆𝙬e𝗯𝒏ov𝐞l - 🅽🅽novel
"I don't think I have seen him being there for you when you needed him the most. He failed in his job to protect. According to you, he might be a good lover but for me as your husband, he is a total failure."
"Just because you have helped me once, doesn't mean that Zhang Zhehan failed as my husband." Li Xiaolu stated.
Shaking his head Long Xun laughed, "Just once? Xiaolu, I think you need to remember carefully. It's not the first time that I am doing something for you."
"Do you remember that day when I saved you from those goons? Where was Zhang Zhehan at that time? Not only that I did a lot of things behind the scenes for you. I helped you with this revenge. I called Chen Yufan's mistresses, I searched for the video, I gave all the proofs regarding the Li family. Where was Zhang Zhehan?" Long Xun asked.
Li Xiaolu: ".... ."
"Today I kidnapped you right under his nose, where is Zhang Zhehan? He has money, power, and everything he needs to protect you then why are here in my house, in front of me?" he questioned.
"Where is he? Why didn't he protect you from being kidnapped? Recall all of the events that you faced after getting married to him. You were almost molested by Chen Yufan, you were kidnapped so many times. Where was he? Where was his so-called love and protection?" Long Xun sneered.

"Just answer my one question, Xiaolu. If today someone else would have kidnapped you and not me, what do you think your condition would be?" Long Xun asked.
"Not all men are good, Xiaolu. You are a woman, you are beautiful. I know I am being harsh but the reality is cruel. A woman like you would have been tortured, assaulted, violated, and killed even before your husband could come and save you."
Li Xiaolu was silent.
"What is the use of having so much of wealth, influence, and power when you can't protect your own wife? What is the use of being the top leading business and an heir to one of the influential families when you can't provide safety to your own wife? What is the use of being in the marriage when your husband can't even protect you? Xiaolu, do you have any answer to this?" Long Xun asked.
Li Xiaolu didn't say anything. She looked at the ground as she quietly listened to every word this man said against Zhang Zhehan.
Seeing that she didn't have an answer to his question, Long Xun sighed. This is what love does. When you love someone, you can't even see any faults or problems with that person. Love blinds people. It is a drug that you cannot get rid of no matter how hard you try.
"I know you can't answer my questions now but Xiaolu, think about it. You - "
"Long Xun..." Li Xiaolu whispered.
"What?" Long Xun was startled.
"You are Long Xun!" Li Xiaolu stated as she looked up straight into his eyes firmly. She was sure that he was Long Xun, that person who saved her from the goons. She was so shocked by this sudden discovery. This person who kidnapped her, who claimed that he loved her was her newfound friend that she made almost a month ago.
For almost two minutes there was complete silence inside the hall. Nobody said anything. Suddenly Long Xun laughed loudly as he removed the mask covering his face."Hello Xiaolu, do you miss this friend of yours?" he asked.
"It's really you!" Li Xiaolu said as she looked at his handsome face.
"Why? Why did you kidnap me?" Li Xiaolu asked.
"There are a lot of reasons. One is that I love you. Second is that I hate Zhang Zhehan. Trust me Xiaolu, he is not a good person." Long Xun smiled.
"Long Xun I considered you my friend." Li Xiaolu said.
Long Xun nodded, "You are my friend Xiaolu. Don't worry, I love you but I won't trap you here as your psycho lover although I really want to."
"I don't want to force you to be my lover. I want your willingness." he chuckled. Looking at the window he snorted, "Before nine o'clock Zhang Zhehan would be here to get you."
"Then why kidnap me?" Li Xiaolu asked.
"I hate Zhang Zhehan. So in your love story, I am the villain and he is the hero. As they show in movies and novels, the villain goes to the hero but in my case it is different. I want Zhang Zhehan to come to my doorstep." Long Xun smiled.
