Chapter 28 - I Promise You

Lin Xia Hua pursed her lips and nodded slightly. She involuntarily tightened her grip on the bag in her hand as her fingers curled up bit by bit.

"Where else do you want to go?"

Xu Yimo's entire body carried a violent aura and a cold aura assaulted his face, forcing her to stop what she was doing.

Lin Xia Hua was stunned for a moment. An ominous feeling slowly rose from the bottom of her heart. "Can I not go out?"

The lips of the person in front of her lifted up slightly in a mocking smile. He stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, increasing the force of the blow and forcefully pulling her back with a dark expression on his face.

Her wrist was like a piece of iron chain, tightly binding. She could clearly feel the increase in strength bit by bit.

She took a deep breath. Her wrist was in so much pain that she finally began to struggle.

"Xu Yimo, let go!"

"You're hurting me!"

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out why Xu Zimo's mood had changed.

The man's face remained livid and his eyes darkened. He didn't change the strength in his hands but dragged her upstairs. He walked to the door of the main bedroom and kicked it open. He grabbed her wrist and smashed it onto the bed.

Lin Xia Hua finally reacted, her eyes filled with caution. She quickly got up from the bed and looked at him warily.

She could not be blamed for thinking too much. It was only because Xu Zimo had acted this way towards her more than once in the past.

However, unexpectedly this time, Xu Yimo only stood at the doorway with the corner of his lips slightly raised in a mocking smile. Looking at her abnormally ice-cold expression, he only stared at her for a moment before turning around and heading back to the windowsill.

Lin Xia Hua understood in an instant, and when she lifted her head again, she only saw that he was not in a hurry as he slowly walked towards the door.

Panicking, she embarrassedly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Xu Zimo's clothes. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. "You can't lock me up!"

Xu Yimo bent his body slightly, his fingers tracing his cheeks. He smiled faintly, but his voice was ice-cold: "Lin Xia Hua, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"Stay here, don't even think about going anywhere!"

As soon as she finished, she was thrown off, and there was a click at the door.

The door was locked!

Lin Xia Hua was barely able to maintain her emotions as she loudly retorted: "Xu Yi Mo! Why should you have anything to do with me! "

In other words, they were locked up. In reality, they were under house arrest.

There was no sound from the door, not a single answer.

Lin Xia Hua was locked in her room, deprived of any means and ability to communicate with the outside world. Her only connection was that someone would bring her food at regular intervals.

Lin Xia Hua was unwilling to live a life of house arrest, but she could do nothing about it. In the end, she chose to hunger strike to protest.

What she did not know was that after Xu Yimo locked her in, he went straight to the company and worked overtime for two consecutive days before returning to the Xu Family.

Xu Yi Mo was certain that since Lin Xia Hua dared to deliberately make a fool out of herself, he would definitely not let her off easy.

When he inadvertently asked the maid about her condition, he flew into a rage.

"A hunger strike? Until now? What do I want you to do? Why didn't you tell me about this earlier! "

The maid was taken aback. She stopped and started to organize the language.

It was said that Madam Xu did not have a high position. While she was causing a ruckus for the hunger strike, she had secretly mocked others for a long time. But now, Xu Zimo's reaction was not as dull as he had expected.

The maid thought about it again and again, but she subtracted the contempt in her original plan and respectfully said, "We can't contact you, so …"

Xu Zimo's face was dark, and the depths of his eyes were dark and unreadable. Various thoughts flashed across his mind in the blink of an eye.

A hunger strike? How dare she!

"Alright, I'll go over myself."

It was dinner time so he brought his meal up to the table. However, when he opened the door, he heard a dull "dong" sound, as if a heavy object had landed on the ground.

A hint of unease flashed across Xu Zimo's heart. He quickened his steps, and what entered his eyes was a pale Lin Xia Hua on the ground.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a sort of panic in his heart.

He calmed down, pursed his lips and set the dishes aside. Without any hesitation, he took the pastries and stuffed them into her mouth, with a hint of coercion in his tone.

"Eat!"

A familiar voice echoed in her ears. Lin Xia struggled to lift her head up to take a glance, heavily lowering her head, as she leaned powerlessly against the bed, slowly shaking her head.

She did not have the strength in her body right now. She had been on a hunger strike for two days, and had almost no water to drink. She was already on the verge of death, and if Yi Mo was one day later, she would have ended her life in this room.

Of course, Xu Yimo could see the condition of her body. The pastries in his hands were a little shaky, and he couldn't stop himself from feeding them to her. However, she still turned him away and refused.

"Lin Xia Hua!" Are you going to eat or not! "

"I'll let you eat it!"

Lin Xia raised his head with all his might and looked at him. With a slight smile, he slowly shook his head and said weakly: "You don't want to lock me up? "As you wish, you don't have to waste anything from the outside world."

When she said this, she was already panting heavily. She enunciated every word, trying her best to enunciate them clearly.

"You think I did it for you? I did it for the child in your womb. If anything happens to the child, you can forget about getting well. "

Lin Xia Hua laughed. "Since I'm already here, I won't be able to protect my child. It's also good to be on the road together, with more companions."

"Lin Xia Hua, you dare!"

Lin Xia raised her head, a light flickering in her eyes. "I don't dare, but you forced my hand."

After a long while, he finally threw the pastry in his hand to the side. His cold voice carried a hint of self-mockery: "Alright, I won't force you. I'll allow you to leave. You'll swallow it right now!"

Who would have thought that he would actually compromise with a woman in the end?

Being able to not restrict her from leaving was already the greatest he could hope for.

Lin Xia Hua subconsciously touched her stomach and finally supported herself on the edge of the bed. She carefully crawled to the counter and carried the porridge inside. When she reached for the spoon, her hand unexpectedly trembled and she almost dropped the porridge.

Xu Yimo finally could not bear to continue watching. He reached out to take it, but his eyes were cold as he helped her to support the porridge. He could not bear to see her lowering his head and looking so cautious, but he still opened his mouth to speak.

"You'd better not let me know about the baby."

Lin Xia Hua's hand stiffened for a moment. With a bitter smile, she nodded her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry."

Don't worry, even if you don't say anything, if I'm fine, the child will definitely be protected.

To her, children were the most important existence. If it wasn't for this extreme situation, she would never take risks with her children.

"Lin Xia Hua, although I promised you, I did!"
