Midnight, Peace Mansion

Yuan Zhe had ravaged Wen Ya’s body to the point where both of them were completely exhausted.

Yuan Zhe headed upstairs to shower without displaying even the slightest hint of sympathy for what he had done to her.

Wen Ya’s arms were still tied to the sofa. Her gaze was empty while her completely naked body faintly shivered due to the night breeze in May.

She slowly moved her numb and aching legs…

Wen Ya bitterly smiled and struggled a few times before realizing that her arms were firmly tied.

No part of her body had been left unscathed. The green, purple, black, and red marks clearly displayed Yuan Zhe’s recent brutality….

The last thing that Yuan Zhe said had humiliated her the most. “Don’t you hate me to the bone? However, I can see that you’re trembling beneath me…”

The bastard’s smile was extremely insulting!

Wen Ya’s tears had almost dried up while her voice was so hoarse that it greatly pained her to even swallow her saliva.

She had certainly been aroused by him, and then…

Wen Ya wanted to die when she thought of this.

She hated herself!

However, she could not accept this.

Why did she have to be the one to die?

Why did she have to die while the devil was allowed to roam free?

Wen Ya only realized that the Wen Family was in dire straits the year after she married Yuan Zhe.

She could have initially furthered her studies in London but her father made several phone calls to inform her that the Wen Family was about to go bankrupt. Her older brother was in charge of inviting government tenders for a project to renovate the running track around the lake and Luo Hai National Stadium but an excessive amount of diphenylamine substance was detected.

When several construction workers were poisoned, their family members brought along more people to stir up trouble before they eventually destroyed the Wen Family’s company.

Rumors had quickly started spreading all over the Internet. They said that the father and son of the Wen Family sold inferior goods marketed as superior ones for more money and profit. They also said that the materials that they used did not match the country’s standard at all.

Thus, the stocks of the Wen Family’s business plummeted almost immediately. Moreover, the government’s security department came looking for the Wen Family as well to make sure they dismantled and took down the parts inside the stadium and the running track around the lake that had been already renovated.

This was equivalent to the Wen Family falling into a deathtrap.

It was needless to say that they would not be receiving their payment for the project. Furthermore, since they were now also associated with this reputation, if they continued investigating this issue, her father and brother would certainly be jailed.

When Wen Ya hastily returned home from living overseas, she had accompanied her father to a banquet and during the ensuing confusion ended up sleeping with a man…

In reality, she had actually been given a large amount of date rape drugs!

That was only the beginning of her nightmare.

Wen Ya did not know that she had slept with someone from the Yuan Family until the day she tested positive for a pregnancy test. Her father who was overjoyed by this turn of events made a phone call to contact the members of the Yuan Family…

If she wanted someone to blame for this mess, Wen Ya should have blamed her own father first!

It was not as if Wen Ya had never thought of walking away. However, her father and older brother were kneeling before her, begging…

The Yuan Family was incredibly powerful and influential in Luo Hai. Moreover, she was carrying the Yuan Family’s descendant in her very own womb.

Wen Ya had accepted her fate with tears in her eyes.

At least she could save the lives of the entire Wen Family by sacrificing only herself.

However, there was one thing that she could never figure out. After they had been married, why was Yuan Zhe’s tone always sarcastic towards her when he was not treating her indifferently?

Then came one day when she eavesdropped on one of Yuan Zhe’s phone calls. He told the person on the other end of the line to give a cut to the vendor who supplied the Wen Family with their materials. Those people were allowed to take an appropriate amount of commission and escape far away…

Only then did Wen Ya discover that the supposed problematic project was merely Yuan Zhe’s own personal plot!

“I was initially planning to use a public title to destroy the Wen Family and change the names of their shares and properties but I never expected that the stupid old man Wen Youquan could still think of an even better way by sacrificing his daughter. We’ll let them off first then!”

Yuan Zhe’s perverse tone made Wen Ya feel as though she had fallen into an ice cave.

“However, I was blamed for the pregnancy although I was only fooling around with that woman! I’m really annoyed that the Old Mistress is so insistent on me marrying her. Do you know that I wasn’t the only man that she slept with that night…”

Apparently, it was all a scheme!

Moreover, Wen Ya was merely an accidental pawn in this scheme that Yuan Zhe had happily gone along with…

Thus, Wen Ya was destined to be the miserable party in this marriage.

Nonetheless, she endured it because her mind was still thinking about the baby in her womb.

However, Wen Ya had forgotten that the devil was inherently evil. He would not allow her to possess even a sliver of longing.

When she lost her child on that cruel night, Wen Ya’s last ray of hope disappeared as well.

Mu Chenyan had always asked Wen Ya why she had suddenly returned from abroad, married Yuan Zhe out of the blue, and severed all ties with her old friends.

The only reason was that she had given up.

Wen Ya was previously deeply in love with another man. However, the current state of her body meant that she would never even have the possibility to love that man ever again…

Her happiness in the past were only memories now. The more Wen Ya tried to relive them, the more she felt like dying because of the pain.

Although there was also unhappiness in Mu Chenyan’s marriage, there was no doubt that Yuan Xuan’s heart was filled with deep love for her.

She was unlike Wen Ya.

…

The Hibiscus Garden

When Yuan Xuan came downstairs after he had finished feeding the cats, he saw Mu Chenyan sitting on the window seat staring blankly into space. She was still wrapped in a towel from her bath and her hair was damp.

It had just rained and the moon shone brightly in the sky. Mu Chenyan glanced at several thin clouds that floated high in the sky. Her little face was fair and glowing while her expression looked rather serene.

Her slim and frail body was so languid that she looked like a cat. Meanwhile, her soft and smooth hair that had yet to completely dry looked fully jet-black as it stuck onto her forehead.

The moon had also looked like this when she and Yuan Tian participated in the summer camp that was organized by the school that year. Yuan Tian led them out to explore before they successfully got lost…

Yuan Xuan came looking for his sister because he was a family member of the Yuan Family. However, he immediately pulled Mu Chenyan into his arms when he found them in the cave.

That was one of the rare occasions that he had gotten close to her. Yuan Xuan was not so icily arrogant that he refused other people’s presence within a thousand kilometers. That hug was unusually warm so Mu Chenyan closed her eyes and enjoyed it for the moment as he tightly embraced her…

At the time, Yuan Tian was so furious that she wanted to leave the cave and go somewhere else immediately…

Yuan Xuan had a cold personality but he did not blame them. He merely looked at the two troublesome little girls and quietly warned, “If this happens again, I’ll have to place GPS collars around your necks and treat you like cats and dogs!”

Mu Chenyan recalled how she had stupidly pestered him despite his constantly gloomy and resentful attitude towards her and his perpetually serious face at the time. Undoubtedly, she was entangled with him for so many years because she yearned for that rare warmth…

“What’s on your mind?”

Yuan Xuan saw that his wife still had her lips pursed together and was smiling when he came out of the shower. Water was still trickling down his body while an enchanting ray glimmered across his honey-colored skin.

Mu Chenyan turned her head and met Yuan Xuan’s profound gaze. She narrowed her body and lowered her eyes without daring to look at him again.

Her brain never worked the way she wanted it too whenever she was in front of him.

Despite being a person who was concerned about her own sex appeal, Mu Chenyan would always be naively captivated by him.

On one hand, Mu Chenyan hated herself for being naive. It was unbelievable that she had previously fallen for his gentleness numerous times without properly investigating the terrible grudge that concerned her parents. On the other hand, she could not control herself because she was attracted to his “manliness”…

“Nothing!”

Mu Chenyan leaped off the window seat before she frantically burrowed under the covers. For some reason, Mu Chenyan was becoming increasingly afraid of his scorching gaze that made her want to flee.

Yuan Xuan persistently “misbehaved”. He enthusiastically approached her and came over despite seeing that Mu Chenyan was avoiding him.

Mu Chenyan blushed when she recalled Yuan Xuan’s conversation with the cats upstairs. She fervently tried to hide herself under the blankets. She was breathing somewhat heavily when she murmured, “You have your own blanket so why do you have to squeeze under mine?”

“I like Mistress’ blanket!”
