Secret Marriage: Wife Spoiling Husband Chapter 397 – Do I look like a clown?

“Hey Li Youbin, this is not fair.” Long Xun frowned crossing his arms in front of his chest. Raising his brows and pouting his lips, he asked, “How can you show me such a bad expression? Why aren’t you happy after seeing your reward?” 

Li Youbin: “…..”

“Anyways, even if you like your reward or not, I still have to give it to you.” Long Xun smiled graciously. He loved seeing the fear and despair slowly creeping up into Li Youbin’s eyes. All the arrogance and mockery which Li Youbin was showing him for the past few days was gone in a minute. Only thing remained, FEAR!

“So, the rule of this game is very simple. I’ll ask you a few questions and you have to answer me. If your answer is wrong and not pleasing to my ears then I’ll slam this hammer on your head, twice. If you answer correctly, then I’ll slam this hammer on our head only once.” Long Xun informed with a small chuckle.

Li Youbin: “…..”

“So, let’s begin, ” Long Xun said rubbing his palms with excitement.

Seeing Long Xun’s excited look, Li Youbin was frightened. The hammer looked so big and heavy that Li Youbin knew that if that hammer falls on his head, then his head would be crushed. Just by glancing at the hammer, he felt a terrible pain in his head. He didn’t fear death but he feared the way Long Xun was going to take his life. No matter what answer he gave to Long Xun, that hammer was going to fall on his head. This was crazy.

He didn’t want to die in this way. He didn’t want it. His entire body was shaking with fear and he tried to move away. “I-I d-don’t want to play. I’m sorry. Please, just kill me. Just kill me, Long Xun. I beg you.” he pleaded.

“Who said anything about killing you?” Long Xun raised his brows with a puzzled look. “Look, I got married and I don’t want your dirty blood to stain my hands, today. Don’t worry, I am not going to kill you,” he explained with a smile.

“No, no….please…. don’t,” Li Youbin cried out.

“Tsk…tsk… Li Youbin, you worry too much. This is a very light hammer. Trust me, this hammer won’t kill you.”

Li Youbin’s heart went numb. He knew in his heart that Long Xun won’t change his decision no matter how much he begged or pleaded with him. But he still wanted to try. He trusted Housekeeper Qin. He knew that like every time, Housekeeper Qin would come to save him. And for that, he wanted to stall time until his savior arrives.

So, for the first time in his life, Li Youbin put down his pride. He kneeled in front of Long Xun and held his feet. “L-Long X-xun please, I am sorry….” he begged. 

Long Xun sneered watching him holding his feet. Bending down, he grabbed Li Youbin by his collar and he pushed him onto the wall. “Why are you begging me now? Don’t you and your Master like playing games?” he growled.

“You played with my father’s life, you played with Lin Xiaolu’s life and you played with my life. How come when it is your turn, you are scared?” he roared. 

Li Yuobin’s head slammed onto the wall and he winced in pain. But he didn’t get much time on focusing on his pain for Long Xun’s words made him go into a daze. He saw the anger in Long Xun’s eyes and he was stunned. “Y-you know, ” he stammered as realization hit him.

Long Xun smirked leaving Li Youbin’s collar. His eyes traveled down as he watched Li Youbin falling and he crouched in front of him. “Of course, I know.” he laughed.

“Do you think I am a fool? Do you think it’s that easy to make me into a puppet? Do I look like a clown to you, to her, and him?” he sneered watching Li Youbin cower back in fear.

“NO! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!” he screamed at Long Xun only to receive a mocking smile.

“You know what Li Youbin, I have prepared a few gifts for everything that you have done to me.” Long Xun chuckled taking out his phone. “Here, watch this… I’m sure that you would like my first gift, ” he said throwing his phone into Li Youbin’s hands.

Fl.u.s.tered, Li Youbin quickly caught the mobile in his hands. His eyes went wide when he saw two familiar faces appearing on the screen. It was a video of his wife and his daughter. They were on their knees with their hands tied behind their back. Their mouth was gagged with a rough cloth and they were crying. Li Youbin’s heart almost stopped when he saw them on the screen.

Two men were standing behind them, holding a dagger on their necks while another person was filming the whole video. Soon, the two men laughed at the screen and before Li Youbin could react, he saw them slicing the dagger onto their neck. Blood started pouring out from their neck and in a matter of a few seconds, he saw that both his wife and his daughter falling down, dead.

They were dead!

“No, no…. not possible!’ he stammered. He didn’t want to believe that his wife and his daughter were dead. His whole face went pale and the phone fell from his hands. The phone was on the ground displaying a picture of his wife and his daughter covered in blood, their lifeless eyes looking at him through the screen and tears started falling from his eyes.

Li Youbin was shaken to the very core. “No, no… Rushi, Roulan….. no, no….” he cried loudly. His eyes were still looking at the screen, crying and begging for forgiveness.

“LONG XUN!” Li Youbin roared. His bloodshot eyes glared at Long Xun as if he wanted to tear him alive. With all the little strength that he had, he staggered to stand up on his feet and he growled, “HOW DARE YOU? I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU, LONG XUN! I WILL KILL YOU, YOU BASTARD!”
