The Abandoned Wife’s Rebirth - Chap 40

Manager Yu’s eyebrows knitted together. In his mind, he thought to himself that since Wu Ruo had no spiritual energy and wasn’t very mobile either, there really was nothing much Wu Ruo could do to him, so there was no need to be afraid of him.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked over.

Just as he stepped in front of Wu Ruo, the attendants by the side immediately came forward to restrain him. They kicked the back of his knees, and with a ‘putong’ sound, he was forced to his knees in front of Wu Ruo right away.

Manager Yu thrashed around in panic: “You… what are you trying to do?”

Shi Jiu and the rest restrained him firmly in front of Wu Ruo.

Wu Ruo broke the flesh on his fingertip with his teeth, dripping the blood onto Manager Yu’s forehead, and waited until after the fresh blood had completely penetrated beneath the skin before saying: “Becoming my contracted servant is your benefit.”

“You…” Manager Yu glared at him angrily. He didn’t know what was going on about being contracted, but he was still very clear about what it meant to be a servant. As the gambling den’s manager, although he didn’t have as much status as the Wu family, nor did he have the Wu family’s influence, he was still someone of some renown within Gaoling City. How could he be someone else’s servant?

Even if he had to be someone else’s servant, the other party’s status and capability should at least be like that of the Wu family’s leader Wu Bofang, and not the good-for-nothing in front of his eyes.

Manager Yu had just started to resist in his mind when his whole body immediately felt like it was being burnt by a vicious fire. It was so painful that he writhed around on the floor in agony, begging for mercy: “Sixth Young Master Wu, I’m willing to be your servant, please have mercy on me. I beg you, please have mercy on me.”

Wu Ruo snorted: “Your mouth is willing, but your heart is not, how can I have mercy on you?”

When he heard this, Manager Yu suddenly remembered that people of the Wu family were about to control various types of spiritual entities. As long as they contracted them, they could make the spiritual entities obey the commands of people from the Wu family. If they were disloyal, then the contract would kick in and punish the spiritual entities on the Wu family’s behalf. So then, being a contracted servant was like being a contracted spiritual entity?

But, weren’t the Wu family only able to contract spiritual entities like Yao, Mo, Gui, and Guai? And didn’t Wu Ruo not have spiritual energy? How could he contract humans?

Manager Yu’s whole body was in so much pain that he couldn’t even think it over. He tried to stop resisting Wu Ruo, then the excruciating pain in his body slowly lessened.

Wu Ruo looked at Manager Yu who was lying on the floor, panting heavily, and he smirked as he bantered: “It looks like Manager Yu will do a good job for me, then I won’t say much else. Shi Jiu, send him back.”

“Understood.” Shi Jiu was exceptionally strong, he picked Manager Yu up with only one hand. When he turned around, he saw that Hei Xuanyi was standing by the door and watching them. He immediately bowed to greet him: “Shi Jiu pays his respects to Master.”

Wu Ruo saw Hei Xuanyi by the door and the space between his eyebrows wrinkled up. He didn’t know how long Hei Xuanyi had been standing there and watching them for either. Would Hei Xuanyi feel like the Wu Ruo of just now…

When he thought about this, he hurriedly cut off his train of thought and mocked himself. What did it matter what Hei Xuanyi thought of him? When did he suddenly start caring about how Hei Xuanyi viewed him?

Wu Ruo didn’t dare to linger on it, and asked: “Done with everything?”

“Hn.” Hei Xuanyi sat down on the chair next to him.

Wu Ruo asked again: “I brought somedimsumback from my dad’s, do you want to try some?”

Shi Yuan brought forth the cutlery that had been prepared from before and placed it on the table. Then, he opened the many layers ofthat had been kept warm with spiritual energy. From there, he took out six dishes of piping hotdimsumand placed them in front of Hei Xuanyi.

Hei Xuanyi looked at the exquisitedimsumand picked up his chopsticks, picking up a fragrant piece ofand bringing it to his mouth, taking an elegant bite out of it.

Wu Ruo stared at his apathetic pair of eyes anxiously: “How is it? Is it good?”

“Hn.” Hei Xuanyi swallowed thedimsumand bit yet another mouthful of it.

A smile blossomed over Wu Ruo’s face: “As long as you like it. Don’t just eat this, try and see if these otherdimsumare delicious or not too.”

He shot a look at Shi Yuan.

Shi Yuan immediately picked up some chopsticks and put anotherdimsumdish into Hei Xuanyi’s bowl.

“…” Hei Xuanyi looked at Wu Ruo’s white and tender round face, raising his eyebrows. Why did it feel like his wife was trying to curry favour with him?

Notes:Oh damn, the notes are that there are no notes. Wu Ruo being oblivious to his budding feelings in comparison to how scheming and manipulative he can be against the Wu family is absolute comedy.
