He smiled as he sliced potatoes. "I've got porridge simmering in the rice cooker, and then I'll cook some
dishes." said he.
"Is your leg okay?" he asked.
Venus quickly put the phone in the pocket of his pants and said with relief, "My leg is fine. Do you need
me to help you?"
"No, thanks." Tang was only halfway through his words when Hao Nangong appeared in the kitchen
doorway. Venus was very nervous.
"Did he see that I just put the phone back in Tang's pocket?" Venus thought.
Venus turned back and clasped her hands behind her back.
Hao came in and put his arm around her shoulders and led her out of the kitchen, "You don't need to
do this. I don't want you to be so tired, Tang can do it alone."
"I'm worried he'll be too busy," Venus said, "I cooked for Mrs. Qin when I was at Ye family. I'm a good
cook."
Hao touched her hair, smiled, "I'm afraid that you'll get close to Tang and make him work for you."
Venus' heart was beating fast again, but she pretended to be calm, "I help Tang out of good intentions."
Hao held her in his arms with both hands and pinched her nose, "Venus, I'm really afraid that you'll run
away."
"Even if I want to run away, I have to have a chance." Venus said nervously.
"I won't give you a chance." After saying that, Hao lowered his head and tried to kiss her, but Venus
stopped him with her hand.
"You promise me that you can't force me to do something I don't like." Venus said.
Hao took her fingers between her teeth and bit them hard before letting go.
"Venus, I'm going to ‘eat’ you sooner or later." said he.
Venus broke away from his embrace, looked at the finger that was bitten. "Hao, why did you bite me?"
she was a little angry.
"I just want to know what you taste like." Hao responded to her in a serious manner.
Venus was speechless and turned to go upstairs, "Call me when dinner is ready."
Now Hao was dangerous. He could do something terrible to Venus at any moment, and Venus had to
stay away from him. Just how was she going to get through the night safely? She prayed in her heart
that the text she sent out would be received by someone.
Venus didn't understand why the men she met were either scum or perverts, and Hao was scarier than
Kerry.
However, Kevin was an exception. He was the best to her of any man Venus had ever met. She
sometimes wondered why Kerry had such a nice brother, who was completely unlike him.
When she finished eating, Venus locked herself in her room and double-checked that the door was
locked. She then moved to a chair and sat behind the door, keeping the scissors she had used to cut
clothes during the day at hand.
It had been a long, long night for Venus, just like the night her parents had died in a car accident.
Venus leaned against the wall, thinking back to recent events. She didn't know how much time had
passed when footsteps suddenly sounded at the door. She woke up instantly, eyed on the door, not
daring to take a breath.
The footsteps stopped at the door. Through the doorway, she saw the black shadows on the floor.
Suddenly, the door lock moved slightly.
Venus covered her mouth with one hand. She was afraid that she would cry out in fear, and she
gripped the scissors unconsciously.
Then the door lock moved again.
At that moment, the visitor seemed to realize that the door was unlocked and stopped opening it.
"Oh…” A soft laugh came from outside the door. Venus was nervous to the extreme. She heard it was
Hao's voice.
Hao stood outside for a while before he left. Venus calmed down as the dark shadow in the door
disappeared.
"Fortunately, I locked the door; otherwise I don't know what would have happened tonight."
Actually, if Hao wanted to force his way through, this door wouldn't be able to stop him at all. He still
cared about Venus's wishes. If she didn't want him to touch her, he could live with the desire for her.
Venus was afraid that he would go and return, so she did not leave the doorway. It wasn't until the
midnight that she leaned back in her chair and slept.
......
At night, Kerry also had trouble sleeping.
He searched all over the city, but there was no trace of Hao and Venus. There was also no sign of
Hao's car on the Public Security Bureau's surveillance camera.
As for the phone that Venus had been thinking about, it was lying quietly in her room.
Kerry had taken up residence in Venus’s room since Venus had burned his room.
He was leaning over the bed, a cigarette burning at his fingertips and soon he littered the floor with
cigarette butts
Kerry wondered which place he ignored. "There's no reason Hao just suddenly disappear. The
Nangong family can't even find him. "
"He's already out of Sky City?" he thought. Then he immediately dismissed the idea.
Airports, trains, highways, all the places out of the city had their people under close scrutiny.
“According to Hao's idea, the most dangerous places are often the safest, so he must be in Sky City or
maybe nearby, but why can't he just be found?” Kerry said to himself.
Kerry rubbed his face, shook off the soot, and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.
Today, he had to find Hao. He had a hunch that Hao would leave Sky City with Venus today.
After a quick breakfast, Kerry was about to go out when John ran in, "Sir, there's a young man at the
door. He wants to see you."
"What's his name?" Kerry looked haggard.
"He said his surname was Li," John said. Then he paused and tiptoed cautiously to Kerry's ear, "he
said he had news of Venus."
Kerry was taken aback and said, "Take me to see him."
The young man stood at the gate of the villa, a bicycle placed beside him. He was wearing shirt and
jeans and was carrying a shoulder bag. He also wore a pair of black-framed glasses.
"Hi, I'm Kerry, you’re looking for me?" Kerry politely extended his hand.
"Yes. Do you know Venus?" He asked.
Kerry nodded, "She's my wife."
Li then pulled his phone out of his bag and handed it to Kerry and said, "She sent the text to my
phone."
Kerry took the phone and saw the SOS text that Venus had sent yesterday. When he read the last
sentence, something bit physically into him.
“She is waiting for me to save her.” Kerry thought.
