Marked by a Tyrant After Transmigrated

Chapter 22

Ye Shu reached out and tugged at the gold chain on his ankle to ensure that the other end had really been secured.

"......"

Jin Wang's method of preventing him from running away was really...simple and crude.

A dog would remain a dog.

It was the first time that Ye Shu had encountered this kind of situation. He blankly sat on the bed in a state between laughter and tears.

The gold chain was strewn on the plain silk quilt, one of its ends leading to where Ye Shu's ankle was encircled, making his ankle seem even fairer and finer, painting it with a somewhat...unspeakable sense of ambiguity.

......It made it seem like something bad was likely to happen.

Ye Shu shuddered at the thought of what had happened before.

Suddenly, a warm torso came up from behind. "Awake?"

A thick voice with a low, hoarse texture suddenly shocked his ear into tingles.

"Do you like the present Gu has given you?" Jin Wang rested his head on Ye Shu's shoulder and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. "Specially customized just for you."

Ever since Ye Shu's escape, he had begun to customize this thing. Seven days wasn't too long nor was it too short, it was just long enough to produce this gold chain.

"......" Ye Shu forced a smile. "Your Majesty, I won't run anymore."

Jin Wang smiled. "Gu doesn't believe it."

Ye Shu pathetically approached. "Your Majesty......"

"Are you hungry? Gu will have Gao Jin serve the meals." Jin Wang expressed his concern.

"Jin Lingyuan!"

"Gu's here."

Ye Shu sighed and helplessly asked, "How long are you going to lock me up?"

"Until you no longer want to leave." Jin Wang helped Ye Shu stand up, his voice extremely gentle as he said, "This gold chain is long enough for you to move around, but still be careful of tripping when you walk."

Jin Wang helped Ye Shu put on his shoes and draped him his clothes. "Let's dine first ba."

Jin Wang went out and instructed the servants to serve their meals.

Ye Shu had long been feeling famished. He couldn't be bothered to remain at loggerheads with Jin Wang, he sat down and concentrated on filling his stomach.

He ate like a horse. Jin Wang looked at him from time to time. Finally, when Ye Shu finished six pieces of pastries, two bowls of soup, three bowls of rice, and even reached for another bowl, he couldn't help but speak up.

"Has Duan Chengzhi not fed you for the past few days?"

Jin Wang's manner of speaking didn't sound too well as he inquired, thinking that as longas Ye Shu said yes, he would immediately give the hundred strokes to that surnamed Duan to make up for it.

Ye Shu's cheeks puffed up as he ate. He blinked innocently and shook his head.

Jin Wang frowned. "He really did mistreat you?"

"No, no..." Ye Shu hurriedly pulled the man and said, "He treated me quite well, really."

Ye Shu had spent the past few days in a stupor and had only eaten in the intervals between his bouts of lethargy. However, that man hadn't actually mistreated Ye Shu. He took good care of him the whole time; spoiling him with toothsome meals and tasty drinks, even making him a little plumper.
