Kneel to Me [MTL]

Chapter 131-135

Chapter 131

Bai Qiang couldn't rely on this form to meet the person he liked, so he swiftly rolled and concealed himself.

Today, the influx of visitors left the iron gate perpetually open. The couple approached Si Jiao. Taking a good look at the woman, Si Jiao noticed she was quite young and fragile, clutching a baby in her arms. Her complexion seemed delicate, as if a gust of wind might blow her away.

"Butler Si," Shu Lianlian addressed. Though it was her first encounter with Si Jiao, she recognized him easily. One of Juggernaut's right-hand men, he was always attired in red, an imposing figure that exuded both glamour and danger. A red rose with thorns, as it were.

As she finished her plea, she knelt down abruptly, still cradling the child. Tears streamed down her face as she implored, "Please grant me an audience with the Lord, I beg of you..."

This was her attempt to jump the queue for drawing cards. After all, they were first-time customers who had never drawn cards before.

Si Jiao bent down to assist her, her gaze shifting to the child in the woman's arms. "What's the matter?"

"This child has a genetic disorder and won't live long. I've heard about the Lord's abilities and I wish to beseech her to save him. Please..."

"Is this your child?"

"Yes," the man replied without hesitation.

Si Jiao's expression turned pensive. "Please wait a moment."

She turned and went inside. Bai Qiangqiu concealed himself behind the door, his expression grave. Seeing her enter, he followed her, silently imploring her to use the back entrance.

"That's my child, please..."

"What does your child have to do with us? Don't forget that you're being punished for offending my Lord, not any of us. Besides, rumors suggest that it might not even be your child."

"It has to be my child. I'm certain. She was three months pregnant when she left. The timing is perfect... Please, will I become a cow or a horse for you in the future?"

"As if we're short on options."

"Please, I beg of the Lord..."

Bai Qiang babbled, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts. Whether it was his former lover's sudden appearance, taking his child with someone else, his child's ailment and limited time, or his transformation into a ball, none of this he had foreseen. The entire situation seemed absurd beyond belief.

Song Juyao finally drew a card for Shu Lianlian. The man paid the fee, displaying generosity without reservation. He had nothing more to say to Shu Lianlian.

Si Jiao glanced at Bai Qiangqiu, who lurked in a corner, aware of his circumstances. She likely deduced the situation: the Qinglong Gang used to engage in loan sharking, and Shu Lianlian's gambling-addicted father had defaulted on a loan. To settle the debt, Shu Lianlian had been taken as collateral. While the Qinglong Gang didn't usually resort to human trafficking, Bai Qiangqiu's infatuation with her had prompted them to retain him as a lover.

Clearly, the path of forced affection doesn't lead to happiness.

After the couple left, Bai Qiang's ball seemed to lose its luster, rolling into a corner.

"What did you say?" Si Jiao seemed to catch his mutterings.

Bai Qiang suddenly wailed, "I'm no longer human, just a ball, nothing more..."

"..."

Wasn't it just a wife and child leaving with someone else? They hadn't done it themselves, so there was no need for excessive remorse.
