TVSFPAG -Chapter 163 As You Wish

Three days later, Song Yunfei returned to Qingcheng, back to that familiar living room.

Her carefully planned escape had been crushed in less than a day.

After three days and three nights of traveling by car—plus the six days she had driven herself—the entire journey totaled nine days.

After arriving at the guesthouse, she hadn’t even stayed for a single day before being taken back that same afternoon.

The long, exhausting nine-day journey had left her completely drained. The moment she entered the house, she collapsed onto the sofa.

She knew Chu Jinhan was sitting beside her, but she no longer had the strength to speak—even lifting a finger felt like too much effort.

All the belongings she could bring had already been packed and taken along. Her luggage was still in the car, not yet unloaded.

The room was quiet and empty, as if no one had ever lived there.

Just like their past—erased along with everything else.

She slept very deeply that night. Perhaps she was too exhausted, or perhaps she had truly accepted her fate—she didn’t even dream.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning, and she was lying in bed.

Rubbing her eyes, Song Yunfei slowly sat up.

Looking at the familiar bedroom, she sat there in a daze for a while.

Even though Chu Jinhan was still here, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of loss rising within her.

She gave a bitter smile—this was probably the best way to describe how everything had changed while everything remained the same.

With a sigh, she got out of bed and walked out of the bedroom.

Chu Jinhan was sitting at the dining table in the living room—not eating breakfast, but working on his computer.

Breakfast was laid out on the table, though it looked like it had been bought from outside.

When Song Yunfei came out, he didn’t even look up, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he said calmly, “It’ll get cold soon. Eat earlier.”

“Mm.”

Song Yunfei went to the bathroom to wash her hands, then came back and sat down to eat in silence.

She secretly glanced across at Chu Jinhan. He remained focused on his work, his expression meticulous and unwavering.

After a few minutes, he answered a phone call. After hanging up, he continued working.

Half an hour later, the phone rang again.

Song Yunfei just watched him—typing on the computer, answering calls, typing again, answering again—repeating the cycle over and over.

The entire morning passed like that.

In the afternoon, it was the same routine again.

Song Yunfei curled up on the sofa watching TV, keeping the volume very low so as not to disturb him.

This was actually fine—since he was busy working, he wouldn’t have time to trouble her.

Suddenly, Song Yunfei noticed the drawer beneath the TV.

She subconsciously glanced at Chu Jinhan. Seeing that he wasn’t paying attention to her, she quietly got off the sofa, walked over to the TV, opened the drawer, and took out the old phone hidden inside.

She returned to the sofa as if nothing had happened, set the phone to silent mode, and pressed the power button.

Once it powered on, a flood of missed calls and messages immediately popped up. Interestingly, the fewest calls were from Chu Jinhan—only two.

Bai Yu had called over a dozen times and sent seventy to eighty messages, including a 500-yuan transfer.

Unable to resist the lure of the red envelope, Song Yunfei accepted the transfer first.

As expected, less than a minute later, a message from Bai Yu came in:

[Yo, Cuihua’s back?]

Song Yunfei replied with a surprised question mark.

Bai Yu replied:

[You ran away and didn’t take me with you, and you still have the nerve to send me a question mark? Let me guess—you didn’t escape, did you?]

Song Yunfei gritted her teeth. Not only had she failed to escape—she hadn’t even managed to take a single step out.

She typed back:

[How did you know?]

Bai Yu replied:

[With your level of intelligence, if you could hide it from Chu Jinhan, he might as well be out of a job.]

Song Yunfei curled her lips and quietly sighed inwardly. This time, she had truly miscalculated.

Bai Yu asked:

[He caught you and brought you back—did he say how he’s going to deal with you?]

Song Yunfei replied:

[He said he’s giving me a life sentence.]

Bai Yu responded:

[It’s fine. I’ll find you a good lawyer—let’s aim for a fixed-term sentence.]

……

Song Yunfei didn’t feel like responding anymore.

But after thinking about it, it seemed that Bai Yu was the only one who could help her now.

She reluctantly picked up the phone again and typed:

[So what should we do now?]

Bai Yu replied:

[Oh? Now you remember it’s “we”?]

Song Yunfei replied:

[Hey, I just didn’t want to implicate you, that’s why I didn’t take you with me.]

Bai Yu replied:

[Really? I don’t believe you.]

Song Yunfei replied:

[Stop joking around. Hurry up and think about how to escape.]

Bai Yu replied: [Wait.]

Song Yunfei: [Wait for what?]

Bai Yu: [Just wait. Don’t ask.]

Seeing these words, the tension in Song Yunfei’s heart finally eased.

As expected—her decision not to burn bridges last time was the right one. This guy was still reliable.

She exited the chat, deleted her conversation history with Bai Yu, and secretly glanced at Chu Jinhan. He was still busy working, seemingly not noticing her small actions.

Next, she contacted Xiao Xian.

Originally, she wanted to ask about Quanquan’s condition, but Xiao Xian instead showed more concern for her “sick friend” and even asked whether she had enough money. Song Yunfei was so moved she almost cried.

To not let Xiao Xian’s kindness go to waste, she replied, “Not enough.”

The next second, a notification appeared—500,000 yuan had been deposited into her bank account.

Song Yunfei suddenly sat up from the sofa. The movement was so abrupt that it successfully caught Chu Jinhan’s attention.

She gave an awkward smile and slowly lay back down.

Chu Jinhan stared at her, watching her giggling at her phone, his brows faintly furrowing.

At this moment, Song Yunfei was fully absorbed in chatting with Xiao Xian. In her heart, Xiao Xian had already become like a deity to her—a literal “God of Wealth,” far more generous than Bai Yu.

But the next second, her phone was suddenly snatched away.

Song Yunfei froze. Looking up, she realized Chu Jinhan had somehow already walked up to her.

Although slightly panicked, she reminded herself she had been chatting with Xiao Xian, so she gradually relaxed.

Chu Jinhan didn’t look through her conversation with Xiao Xian. He merely glanced at it briefly before tossing the phone back to her.

However, he had already noticed that her chat with Bai Yu was gone.

“Do you have any sense of manners? Why are you invading my privacy!” Song Yunfei said angrily.

Chu Jinhan glanced at her, his tone indifferent: “In front of me, what privacy do you have?”

Song Yunfei was speechless.

Such a terrifying man—she didn’t even have a shred of privacy in front of him.

Chu Jinhan continued, “Remember what you said—you won’t run anymore.”

Song Yunfei’s heart skipped a beat, but she maintained a calm expression: “I already said I won’t run. Why don’t you trust me?”

She stretched out her hands deliberately in a fit of defiance. “Why don’t you just tie me up and send me to prison right now?”

Chu Jinhan looked at her intently without saying anything.

Song Yunfei had only wanted to prove her innocence, but when she saw him reach for his tie with his long fingers, her expression froze instantly.

She had a bad feeling.

Before she could retract her hands, it was already too late.

Chu Jinhan grabbed both of her wrists.

He turned her around, pulled her hands behind her back, and used his tie to wrap them tightly around in layers.

Song Yunfei turned her head abruptly, looking at him in disbelief. “You actually tied me up? Wait—hey!”

“As you wish.”

He didn’t do anything else after tying her up. Instead, he turned and went back to the dining table to continue working.

“……”

Song Yunfei writhed on the sofa in panic. “Chu Jinhan, untie me! I need to use the bathroom!”

Chu Jinhan ignored her.

“I’m really going to pee on the sofa!”

Still no response.

Struggling, Song Yunfei climbed off the sofa and limped over to him. Turning sideways, she held out her bound hands toward him from behind. “Hurry up and untie me! I really need to go to the bathroom!”

“Did you hear me!”

“Be quiet.” Chu Jinhan didn’t even look up.

“If you don’t untie me now, I’ll pee on you!”

Chu Jinhan finally paused. He lifted his gaze from the laptop screen and slowly looked at her, his eyes deep and unreadable.

“To the bathroom?”

Song Yunfei nodded rapidly like a chick pecking at grain. “Yes, yes! Hurry and untie me!”

Chu Jinhan gave a slight nod.

Song Yunfei’s eyes lit up, and she quickly stretched her arms toward him again.

But instead of untying the tie on her wrists, Chu Jinhan raised his hand and… picked her up.

Song Yunfei’s mind went blank with a loud buzz.

“You… what are you doing?”

The man said nothing, carrying her straight toward the bathroom.

Song Yunfei panicked completely, struggling in his arms. “I can go by myself! Put me down!”
