Chapter 183: An accessory
Trigger warning: Food Disorder and a bit more uncomfortable topics. Readers’ discretion is advised.

“Are you alright, Young Master Yongrui?” His assistant and good friend, Long Zhong asked while standing outside the restroom. His voice filled with concern.

After lunch was finished, Qi Yongrui could not stop himself and rushed to the restroom where he hurled everything that he had eaten, unable to stomach even a bite.

It was bad enough that he had developed the habit of throwing up anything that he ate, but after his adoptive mother brought up the matter of marrying Qi Changpu, he really couldn’t hold it anymore.

It was simply disgusting. He would never. Not even in his millions of dreams would marry that woman.

“I am —guhh—I am fine,” Qi Yongrui wiped his lips after he was done throwing even the last morsel of food that was inside his stomach.

He straightened up his body and looked up at his reflection in the mirror. For the world, he was the confident, miraculous, the wisest business mer.

But if they had seen him right now, they would realise that he was anything but powerful. Feeble and vulnerable, his eyes silently cried for help and yet he couldn’t turn to anyone.

His brother was in the hands of the Qi family and he dared to not go against them.

But does that mean you will kill your wife? A voice in his head questioned and Qi Yongrui covered his face in despair.

Dear Daddy in heaven, what was he supposed to do now? How should he get out of this predicament?

He didn’t hate Luo Huian so much that he wanted to kill her nor could he ignore his brother who was recovering in one of the hospitals of the Qi family.

So what was he supposed to do?

Qi Yongrui dragged his hands down, while harshly tugging at his hair. What now?

He dropped his hands on the wash basin and turned the tap on. As water filled the basin, he scooped some fresh and clean water before sprinkling it on his face.

Once he was done, Qi Yongrui stepped out of the restroom. However, as soon as he pulled open the door, he saw Long Zhong standing outside with a face that was the colour of paper.

He was looking at something or rather someone and when Qi Yongrui turned to look at the person whom he was looking at, his ruddy complexion also turned severely pale.

It was none other than Qi Changpu. She was sitting in his room with a magazine in her hands.

“Looks like you are really sick,” she remarked without looking up from the magazine. “Makes me wonder what made you this sick, is it the prospect of killing your wife or is it because mother asked you to marry me after your wife is dead?”

She threw the magazine on the coffee table and stood up from the plush armchair.

With her silver hair that was a shade darker than him and golden eyes, Qi Changpu looked really beautiful.

Of course not as beautiful as Luo Huian.

And what was more, Qi Yongrui knew what lay beneath the surface of this woman’s beautiful face, thus he was not charmed by her face.

“Sister, it’s nothing like that,” Qi Yongrui answered fearing the consequences now that Qi Changpu had found him throwing up. She was not going to be happy with him and whenever she was unhappy, bad things would happen to Qi Yongrui.

Qi Changpu smiled at him like she found his little lie amusing. She turned to look at the mer who stood behind Qi Yongrui before saying to him, “Little privacy, please? No matter what, you are a servant who is supposed to do the bidding of your master and not eavesdrop on their conversation.”

Long Zhong’s face turned red as he glanced at Qi Yongrui who nodded at him to leave him alone. Other than his brother, only Long Zhong was the one who understood him.

If he were to go against Qi Changpu, the woman would simply kick him out of the house and the company. After all, even though Qi Yongrui was one of the heirs of the Qi family in the eyes of others, in truth he was nothing.

He had no power to resist Qi Changpu.

Long Zhong was not willing to leave Qi Yongrui alone with Qi Changpu, after all, the very idea of leaving Qi Yongrui alone with her left him uncomfortable.

But there was nothing he could do, Qi Changpu was right.

He was just a servant hired by the Qi family to look after Qi Yongrui.

Long Zhong glanced at Qi Changpu and took one last look at Qi Yongrui who was looking nervous and walked out of the room. Once he left the room, Qi Yongrui became even more nervous.

He glanced at Qi Changpu who was standing in front of him and lowered his head.

“Have you fallen for that woman?” Qi Changpu asked. “Does the idea of killing her terrifies you?”

“N—No,” Qi Yongrui answered, however, something about his tone must have given his real thoughts away because Qi Changpu raised her hand and slapped him across his face.

The slap was so hard that Qi Yongrui stumbled and fell on the ground, his glasses sent flying to the other side of the room.

“No? Hah, you dare say that word when your face is filled with reluctance,” sneered Qi Changpu as she looked down at him. “What? A few years of marriage and you forgot that you were sent to that family as a spy? That you were supposed to do our bidding?”

“From the start, you were supposed to be my possession. A toy that I will play with or break if I don’t want it, how dare you even care for someone else?!” Qi Yongrui whipped out the belt from her pants. She raised her hand and sneered, “It seems like you need to be punished again, Yongrui.”

“You seemed to have forgotten that the day you agreed to come to this family in exchange for the treatment of your brother, you were no longer a human.”

“But an accessory. And an accessory does not think on its own!”
