"You look so beautiful, " Long Xun complimented sarcastically.
"Thank you!" Li Youbin tried to smile but because of the awful wounds on his face, it made him look extremely ugly.
"Do you know what day is it today?" Long Xun asked.
"Oh! Let me guess... what day could it be? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or..." Li Youbin wondered with a small chuckle. "Oh! It's my death day," he laughed.
"Correct! Here's an applaud from me for guessing the right answer." Long Xun smiled clapping his hands three times.
"Aren't you getting bored living in this dull, boring room and seeing these four colorless walls? After all, the great and once rich Mr.Li Youbin never suffered like this. How about I make it exciting for you?" he asked.
Li Youbin raised his brows. What was he up to now, he wondered internally. The memory of Long Xun's anger and fury was still fresh in his mind while his wounds never made him forget the beatings he had received, that day. He was so close to death. If Housekeeper Qin didn't intervene that day, Li Youbin knew that would have been dead, long ago.
"What do you want to do?" he asked cautiously. He wanted to be alive until he helps his Master in fulfilling her revenge.
"Don't worry, I am not going to beat you this time." Long Xun chuckled devilishly. "That's way boring and today is a very good day for me."
"I got married and if accidentally I get hurt while beating you, then my wife would be sad. I don't want her to be sad on our wedding day so, let's not do that." Long Xun smiled.
"Y-you got married? To whom? Is it Li Xiaolu? H-how?" Li Youbin asked. He was so shocked by the sudden news that he almost didn't know how to react. How can this happen? How did Li Xiaolu agree? Knowing Zhang Zhehan, he wouldn't let Li Xiaolu get married to Long Xun then how? What is going on?
Seeing Li Youbin being in a daze, Long Xun smiled snapping his fingers in front of his face. "Mr.Li Youbin where are you lost? Aren't you going to congratulate me?" he asked.
Huh?
Li Youbin came out from his thoughts and he glanced at Long Xun. For some reason, he knew in his heart that something was wrong but he didn't show anything on his face. "C-congratulations L-long Xun....." he stammered.
"What is this? You don't look happy for me?" Long Xun frowned.
Li Youbin shook his head, a little fearfully. "It's not that. I was just thinking about what means you might have used for getting married to Li Xiaolu after all she was Zhang Zhehan's wife," he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
"But it's good to see that you are finally walking in your father's footsteps. If he was alive, he would be glad to see that you are just as evil as he was." Li Youbin added.
Long Xun chuckled at his words, not feeling offended at all. If it was before, maybe he would have already snapped Li Youbin's neck before he could utter all of this nonsense.
"But I never said that my wife is Lin Xiaolu...." Long Xun informed with a smug smile on his face.
"W-what?" Li Youbin was startled. He was stunned by Long Xun's words that he failed to notice a certain detail in his words. Long Xun called her Lin Xiaolu.
"How can this happen? You can't marry somebody else. You love Li Xiaolu. You're lying to me." Li Youbin disagreed. He didn't want to believe in Long Xun's words.
"That's strange!" Long Xun mused loudly attracting Li Youbin's attention. "How come you don't know about this? I thought your accomplice might have already informed you about this," he said making Li Youbin's eyes go wide.
"Oh! I remember that he didn't get any chance to meet you today, right? Anyways, I really should be thanking your Master for sending her to me otherwise I would remain to be a bachelor for the rest of my life." Long Xun smiled.
Hearing Long Xun's words, a bad premonition arose in his heart. Fear gripped his heart seeing Long Xun's terrible smile. As seconds passed by,?Li Youbin started sweating profusely. His entire back was covered in sweat and his body trembled with fear. He peeked at Long Xun carefully while several questions arose in his mind. Is Housekeeper caught? Does Long Xun know that truth? And what does he want to thank his Master for?
"W-what are you talking about?" he asked.
"You don't know what I am talking about?" Long Xun asked with a strange look. "It's strange that they didn't tell you about her. Looks like you are not that important to her. " he mocked.
Li Youbin was completely confused. He understood Long Xun's words but at the same time, he felt as if he didn't understand anything. What the heck is going on?
"Anyways, let's forget about all of this." Long Xun waved his hand. "What we were talking about before? Oh yeah, we were discussing about making your stay here, exciting?"
"Let's play a game!" Long Xun suggested.
"W-what game?" Li Youbin asked fearfully.
Long Xun smiled without saying anything. He looked around the room and after seeing something, his eyes brightened up. He walked towards the other side of the room, picked up a big hammer which was kept on the floor, and walked back to Li Youbin.
"Look, every game has a certain reward. Now, that we are going to play a game then there has to be some kind of reward for the winner, isn't it?" Long Xun asked giving him a magnanimous look.
Li Youbin was puzzled. Seeing the big hammer, he had a hunch of what kind of rewards Long Xun was talking about. His entire body trembled with fear and he started to move back but behind him was the wall and his hand were tied. Even if he wanted to run away, where could he go?
