In the spacious room, it appeared somewhat desolate, with only a man standing in front of the dressing mirror.

A pair of hands with distinct knuckles cautiously buttoned up the shirt, each button at a time. The shirt was plain, delicate, and every movement was pleasing to the eye. Then, the captivating neck was tightly wrapped up, triggering a flight of imaginative thoughts.

Suddenly, in the eerily quiet room, there was a loud bang, followed by the sound of something rolling onto the floor. Then, there was the clattering sound of countless particles spinning inside an empty bottle, creating a rattling noise.

"What kind of madness are you up to again?"

Liao Qing raised an eyelid and coldly uttered a sentence.

"What kind of medicine is this?" The enraged man grabbed his collar, his usually suffocating aura that could crush others not seeming to have any effect on the person before him.

As soon as he saw the medicine bottle, Liao Qing's pupils slightly dilated for a moment. However, they quickly calmed down, and he coldly remarked, "No eyes? Birth control pills, three words, which one don't you understand?"

"How much did you eat?" The man gritted his teeth, speaking each word carefully.

"I didn't eat much." Liao Qing only remembered that the pills were too big, so he swallowed several of them in a row, which got stuck in his throat and made him tear up. So, afterwards, he learned his lesson and started breaking the pills in half before eating them. He thought he had hidden them quite well, but unexpectedly, they were still discovered.

"How is the bottle empty already after only eating so little?!"

"Who let you touch it inside?" Liao Qing disgustingly pushed him away, "Dirty."

This word completely ignited the fuse.

The originally empty room quickly filled with alluring cues. The intensity of the shaking bed indicated the man's raging anger.

Looking down, the dimpled waist had been gripped tightly, leaving a bluish-purple mark.

"If you dare to take this kind of medicine again, I'll fill you up and seal you with a cork for three days and three nights. Got it?"

The man's voice no longer carried that anger, as Liao Qing's complexion appeared pale and gray, indicating that he had a hard time earlier. However, his expression without a smile was truly nauseating to behold.

He said, "You don't even know your place. Know your own worth." He stood up and adjusted his clothes.

Then a string of bells rang out. At the sight of the number, the man couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.

"Um? It's me. Hmm... You've returned to the country? What date? Right now? Do you want me to come pick you up?... I'm available. Hmm, I just finished a meeting, I'll head over right away."

After hanging up the phone, the man didn't even glance back and briskly grabbed his clothes before leaving the house.

Unfortunately, you have not provided any specific Chinese novel paragraph for me to translate. Please provide the paragraph you would like me to translate, and I will be happy to assist you.

The author has something to say: "Dear readers, I apologize for the delay. I've been quite busy with real-life matters these past few days, so I will be taking a short break for a few days."

This book is called "Cold Ashes", and the plot is extremely dark and intense. The protagonist, Liao Qing, is a typical weak and submissive character. Coming from a troubled family background, Liao Qing's parents favor his adopted older brother more. He is also constantly bullied at school and often extorted by gangsters.

Finally, the story has progressed to the point where Liao Qing has been kidnapped and the protagonist, Gong, appears to save him, giving hope that Liao Qing will finally escape his suffering. However, unexpectedly, the scumbag attacker's most beloved white moonlight has just made an appearance...

It seems like the upcoming plot will be extremely intense.

As a result, the author unexpectedly! Stopped updating! Moreover, once the updates stopped, it lasted for over a week.

The comment section is about to explode.

Comment a: "Unscrupulous author! The story is stuck!!! It hasn't been updated for so many days! Damn it, if you don't come back soon, I'll take care of both you and that trashy protagonist together!!"

Comment b: "Ah ah ah ah! Storm crying... When will the author come back..."

Comment c: "Kaven deserves to die miserably... sob... (with a deeply resentful gaze)"

Comment d: "Torturing one's wife may bring temporary pleasure, but chasing after her leads to a funeral pyre. I've already come up with countless ways to make him die, just waiting to hand the author the pen..."

......

However, what no one had expected was... after a few days, a new pinned comment appeared in the book review section, posted by the author themselves.

This paragraph translates to: "This weekend, I'm going to hang out with my buddies to enjoy some delicious dumplings. The second one is half-price, so don't miss out! (Shyly and coquettishly). Sorry, I'll update again in a few days. Lots of kisses~ Another big kiss~"
