The Domineering CEO, but a Crybaby! - Chapter 15
Chapter 15: She’s Playing with Her
The tearful voice, mixed with the rising temperature in the room, gently drilled into Cen Qianyi’s ears.
The warmth on her back also spread out with the low, trembling final note, tinting her pale skin with a light pink.
Cen Qianyi’s chin rested on the plush mat below, and the movement of her neck made the butterfly wings on her back faintly visible, as if they were trying to flutter away but were tightly held back.
Cen Qianyi bit the inside of her lower lip. A sharp pain came, resisting the warmth that was running through her body.
She hadn’t expected it, but this time, her prediction wasn’t wrong.
This woman was indeed ‘playing’ with her.
He Shu’s hands were shaking badly; she really didn’t want to ‘play’.
If she could, she would rather be the one lying there and let Cen Qianyi play with her.
It was just getting a little burn. She had already tested the temperature and could handle it!
It was better than this… Every time a drop of wax fell and Cen Qianyi twitched, the wax felt like it was dropping directly onto her heart after going through her back.
Her heart was jumping with the heat, making her scalp tingle.
It was too torturous!
The requirement was that these candles had to ‘almost cover’ Cen Qianyi’s entire back, and ‘almost’ meant close to all.
He Shu didn’t know if she should be glad that Cen Qianyi’s body was slender enough and her back wasn’t wide. She continued with trembling hands, wanting to finish the task quickly.
She was so focused that He Shu didn’t notice that the smoke from the burning candles behind her was gradually gathering, vaguely taking the shape of a ‘killing intent blade’.
If she had seen it, she would have probably trembled even more.
He Shu focused on finding spots on her back that hadn’t been ‘tortured,’ as if she wanted to reach the ‘almost’ standard as quickly as possible using some method of spatial awareness.
“System, look quickly. The whole back looks covered. Isn’t that ‘almost’ enough? There’s no more space!”
He Shu protested in her mind, but for some reason, the stupid system was missing!
“Stupid system, come out! Don’t play dead!”
“Why aren’t you letting me pass? Isn’t this enough?!”
She had already dripped a lot of wax on all four corners and the center of Cen Qianyi’s back.
In her excitement, a drop of hot wax accidentally fell onto her raised butterfly wing. The person on the ground let out a muffled groan, and He Shu’s tears fell.
I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die. He Shu frantically peeled off the wax that had already quickly solidified, but it was still a step too late. The thin piece of skin over the bone was scalded a fiery red.
An apology almost slipped out.
She was really about to kneel, but at that moment, the countdown for her scripted line began.
“Babe, isn’t it comfortable? Don’t you want more?”
More tears fell. She should have said this line earlier. Saying it at this time made it even more perverted.
The tears fell so hard that a few drops accidentally fell into a candle. ‘Sizzle,’ there was a popping sound, and the smoke stung her eyes. As He Shu blinked hard, she moved some of the candles away. Her trembling hands caused the accumulated wax oil in the candle to fall all at once.
The moment He Shu opened her eyes, she saw the ‘roses’ ‘blooming’ dramatically on Cen Qianyi’s pale back.
A muffled groan was drowned out by the electronic prompt in He Shu’s mind.
Finally, this part was completed!
He Shu blew out the candle in her hand without any hesitation. A wisp of smoke shot up and quickly condensed into an ‘air blade’.
But He Shu, who had closed her eyes to put down the candle, didn’t see it. She carefully wiped her tears and opened her eyes to look at the person lying on the ground.
Cen Qianyi had been very quiet since the beginning.
Although she had something in her mouth that made it difficult to speak, she could still make a sound. But she hadn’t made a single sound.
He Shu had seen a quote online that said a noisy child isn’t scary, but once they become quiet, that’s when they’re scary. It means they’re planning something big.
Cen Qianyi was certainly not a noisy child. She was a hundred times scarier than a noisy child, and her destructiveness was not comparable.
With her being so quiet, He Shu could only think of one possibility: she was thinking about how to kill her.
He Shu was right. Cen Qianyi was indeed thinking about this. She was thinking about how to repay He Shu for this special ‘experience’.
The warmth in her body climbed to her heart. It was a very strange feeling. Even though there was still a little sensory enhancer left in her body, Cen Qianyi could tell that the hot wax dripping on her wasn’t very hurtful.
The other person wasn’t really trying to hurt her.
The other person was ‘playing’ with her.
If she were a normal person, she would be ‘fearful’ during this game, her heart pounding in anticipation of the burning sensation. She would clutch her heart at the moment of pain, and then finally realize that the pain was not so bad, and after getting through it, she would feel a sense of relief.
Her muscles went from tense to relaxed, her heart from pounding to calm, from fear to relief. That’s why she asked her, ‘Is it comfortable, is it exciting?’
She really did know how to play.
She played with her, but unfortunately, she didn’t find it fun.
Also, the number of people who have played with her and are still alive is zero.
Oh no, it’s one now.
Cen Qianyi’s hands slowly clenched. Her fingertips ran over her nails. How should she punish this person who dared to play with her… Obviously, she couldn’t just let her die easily.
She thought of a type of medicine developed in the laboratory that could melt the bones in hands, and…
Suddenly, her neck felt a warmth. Cen Qianyi stopped thinking.
He Shu didn’t know what Cen Qianyi was thinking, but she had something she had to do, whether she wanted to or not.
She reached out and brushed away the loose hair on the back of Cen Qianyi’s neck. She leaned down and kissed the curve of her neck very lightly and slowly.
“Babe, you’re truly… beautiful.”
He Shu said this with genuine sincerity. It was indeed true. When she was observing Cen Qianyi just now, she also naturally saw the whole picture of her.
Cen Qianyi’s back lines were truly beautiful. The curves were smooth, slender but not gaunt. Her pale skin was like a filter-enhanced snowfield.
Now, on this snowfield, passionate red roses were blooming freely.
It was a beauty that transcended seasons, a breathtaking beauty.
The more beautiful, the more dangerous.
After He Shu said that, tears fell uncontrollably, landing on that equally beautiful but untouched neck. The tears were cool compared to the hot wax just now.
They flowed down her neck, over her pink-tinted skin, taking away the residual heat.
Behind He Shu, unseen by her, the smoke that had condensed into a ‘killing intent blade’ also gradually dissipated into the air with the fading heat.
He Shu wiped her tears, stood up, and took out her phone. She quickly took a picture of this ‘beautiful scene’.
In her phone’s photo album, there was only this one photo.
He Shu knew this was the original owner’s habit.
A new plaything, a new record.
This was only the first picture. She remembered that when the original owner died, Cen Qianyi had her phone.
Now she knew, she was probably looking at these pictures…
These were her ‘criminal evidence’. He Shu was on the verge of tears.
After taking the picture, she squatted down again to end this part of the scene.
Her fingers gently traced her neck, passed over the rose-like wax drops on her back, and slid to the beautiful waistline closest to her.
“Babe, savor and feel this. You’ll fall in love with this feeling.”
After saying that, she knelt on one knee, leaned down, and kissed the dimple of the waist she had traced a circle around.
“You were so good tonight, master has a reward for you. Wait for me.”
After He Shu said the last line, she didn’t wait to stand up and just ran.
Goosebumps all over. It’s so perverted. He Shu covered her mouth and ran straight to the bedroom.
The next part of the plot was for her to take a shower. She had to hurry and rinse her mouth after saying so many perverted things all night.
The warmth on Cen Qianyi’s back was already about to fade, but the sudden caress of that hand helped the warmth flare up again.
The dimple of her waist also became hot.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps. Cen Qianyi moved her ears and heard a door opening, and the footsteps getting farther away.
Cen Qianyi rubbed the blindfold off a little and saw the back of the woman hurrying into the bedroom.
Why was she running?
Looking at the closed door, Cen Qianyi pulled her hands back, sat up, and ripped off the blindfold. She reached back and peeled off a piece of something. The red wax had already solidified.
Cen Qianyi held it in her hand and looked at the red candle next to her. It was already out, but still had a little smoke coming from it. The woman must have used this candle just now.
Her gaze passed through the tool room again and looked at the bedroom door at the end.
Why did she suddenly run?
What did she say before she left? A reward?
Her hand closed into a fist. The wax drops in her palm shattered into particles and fell through her fingers.
Cen Qianyi withdrew her gaze and looked at the candles next to the mat.
All the candles the woman had brought seemed to have been lit, but some were out.
Thinking of the woman’s gasps at the beginning, what was she doing?
Wasn’t one candle enough? Why light so many? What kind of ceremony was this?
Looking at the flickering candle flames, Cen Qianyi couldn’t help but think of the past.
She had only seen this many candles once in her life. It was when she was four, and a wealthy businessman had sponsored the charity organization.
To celebrate her child’s first birthday, the businessman gave every child at the charity a cake and had everyone sing a birthday song together.
Under the warm, flickering candlelight, Cen Qianyi watched the child the businessman was holding. She was smiling very happily. Cen Qianyi was also smiling very happily. She had only heard about cream cakes in the director’s stories. This was the first time she had seen one.
The businessman told all the children to blow out the candles before eating the cake. Before blowing out the candles, they could make a wish to the gods. Her wish was for her baby to grow up healthy.
Cen Qianyi’s wish was to also have a family like that.
But before her wish could come true, Cen Qianyi learned that there were no gods in the world.
No, there were. She was one.
…
In a daze, her ears twitched slightly. Cen Qianyi heard a sound. After thinking for a moment, she lay back down and returned to her original position.
He Shu took a shower and changed her clothes. Her mood had calmed down a bit. The plot wasn’t over yet, and she had to continue.
Returning to the pet room, she was startled to see so many candles still lit.
She had been too nervous just now and had forgotten about this.
How dangerous. This could easily cause a fire.
He Shu put them out one by one. Looking at the flickering candlelight, the habit of making a wish, which was ingrained in her genes, was activated. In this situation, she didn’t forget to make a wish.
“God, I won’t make things difficult for you. I know Cen Qianyi will definitely kill me. I’m not asking you to save me. I just ask that you let her give me a quick death and torture me a little less.”
She silently called out to all the gods she could think of. As she put out the last candle, she thought of her dog angel.
“Qianqian, you must protect your master.”
After all the candles were out, He Shu went back to Cen Qianyi. She looked at the person who was still lying motionless and suddenly thought of people who play dead on the battlefield. When the enemy gets close and lets their guard down, they suddenly get up and stab them.
He Shu was a little afraid to move. She confirmed there was no killing intent before she dared to continue forward.
It was a little strange, though. After all this, she still had no killing intent.
But on second thought, He Shu felt she understood. After all, this was the number one assassin. She must have a professional demeanor. She wouldn’t just kill someone when she was unhappy. She must be thoughtful and patient. She was still useful right now, so she was holding back, waiting to deal with her when she became useless.
He Shu breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and cleaned off the things on Cen Qianyi’s back.
“How’s it, babe? Isn’t it fun?”
He Shu wanted to cry. She had picked the least hot candle, but Cen Qianyi’s back was still red and scalded.
Her death was probably going to be more gruesome now. And it wasn’t over yet. There was still the second half of the plot, which required a change of scene.
He Shu unlocked the person’s handcuffs and chains and carefully picked her up.
“Babe, you were so good tonight. Your reward is to sleep with your master.”
