  Xia Yanran almost threw the cloth in his face.

  She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “Wipe it yourself.”


  Xiao Yi pinched her chin and pulled her closer to him, his hot breath landing on her face. He laughed meanly, opened his mouth and bit her lip.

  He bit down hard.

  There was no sympathy at all.

  “Yanran, are you going to wipe it?”


  What he meant was that if she did not wipe it, he would bite her to death.

  Xia Yanran frowned and was about to say something when she heard the man’s cool voice. “There wasn’t blood on the bedsheet three years ago, you’re not a virgin, aren’t you? Before you were with me, you were with another man right? You’re a slut who only wants to act chaste in front of me?” Thinking about how she might have been with another man before being with him, his expression darkened immediately.

  Slap.

  As soon as his voice fell, his handsome face was slapped by her.

  “Xiao Yi, you f*cking bastard!”


  Would every girl bleed on their first time?

  Perhaps in the process of growing up, accidentally knocked it and led to an unexpected split.

  The first man she had been with really was him and after that, she had lost all hope in love until she met Yi Fan.

  But she had just gotten together with Yi Fan, did not even sleep together yet and they were forced apart by this a**hole.

  Xiao Yi touched his slightly red and swollen handsome face that was slapped by Xia Yanran, a glint of coldness flashed past his eyes. He grabbed Xia Yanran’s wrist firmly. “No woman dares to hit me. Xia Yanran, don’t think I will keep on indulging you.”


  Hearing his words, Xia Yanran found it funny.

  Indulging her?

  Don’t try to be funny, would you?

  She only ever felt humiliation and torture with him.

  “Xiao Yi, no woman would like a beast like you!”


  Xiao Yi caressed Xia Yanran’s lips which were bleeding because of his bite and looked at her with a small smile. “Yanran, it doesn’t feel good to be tortured by a beast, right? As long as the beast is still alive, you won’t be able to escape from his clutches.”


  The gaze he was looking at her was not fierce but had a touch of tenderness. But Xia Yanran only shuddered, the fear in her magnified.

  “It should be around here. My sister’s phone has a location tracking……”


  Suddenly, Junyuan’s voice sounded not far away.

  Xia Yanran froze.

  Xiao Yi’s expression turned even darker and he looked coldly at Xia Yanran. “You lied to me?”


  Xia Yanran shook her head. “I didn’t……”


  Xiao Yi reached out and grabbed Xia Yanran’s neck roughly, his eyes cold. “Xia Yanran, just you wait and see!”


  He pushed her away and limped into the deep forest.

  Junyuan came over with the police and helped Xia Yanran who had fallen into the stream.

  Junyuan took off his jacket, putting it over Xia Yanran’s thin shoulders and helping her wipe off the drops of water on her face. “Are you all right?”


  “Brother, why did you come over with the police?”


  Junyuan looked at Xia Yanran’s pale face with a frown. “I already noticed that something was wrong the other time you hurt your forehead, and then you didn’t come home for the whole night. I’m your brother and have a responsibility to look after you and our sister. If anything happens to you and I don’t know about it, how could I call myself your elder brother?”


  “If that Xiao guy bullies you again, I won’t let him off!”
……

  After Mu Sihan left, he would call Nan Zhi almost every day.

  Today, An Feng took Xiaojie out for a walk and Nan Zhi sat on the sofa speaking to Mu Sihan while watching TV.

  “I have to go on a business trip for a month before we can meet again,” the man on the other line said in a low and husky voice.

  Nan Zhi could hear that there was something wrong and she furrowed her eyebrows. “Are you very busy recently? You sound a little tired.”


  He hummed and said, “A little.”


  “Then you should rest more.”


  The man gave a low laugh. “You’re so concerned about me? Come, give me a kiss.” His voice was like wine that had been brewing for many years. It was strong and rich, mesmerizing enough to make one intoxicated.

  Nan Zhi stood up from the sofa and walked to the french window, drawing a heart on the glass pane with her fingertip, when suddenly she heard the news from the TV.

  “The villa of the Yan family, the capital’s wealthiest family located in the east of the city has been sealed up by the procuratorate……”


  Nan Zhi’s phone fell to the ground.

  Forgetting about Mu Sihan, she rushed to the TV and turned up the volume.

  When she heard that Yan Cheng was a drug dealer, she felt overwhelmed.

  She picked up her phone hurriedly. Mu Sihan had called again and she rejected the call, then called Yan Hua’s number.

  No one answered on the first call.

  Nan Zhi then tried a second time.

  Yan family’s villa being sealed, Yan Cheng’s arrest was too shocking.

  The last time she spoke to Huahua on the phone, she was still enjoying her honeymoon with Bo Yan.

  They had already agreed that when she was back, they would have a gathering with Xia Yanran together.

  That time on the phone, Huahua had sounded so happy.

  The phone rang for a long time and when Nan Zhi thought that there was no answer again, the call got through.

  “Zhizhi.” Yan Hua’s voice sounded slightly hoarse and tired.

  Nan Zhi’s heart tightened.

  Why must Huahua, who was such a simple, pure and kind-hearted person, experience all this?

  Even those who had experience hardships could not accept such mishap, let alone Yan Hua, who was protected by Yan Cheng since she was young.

  “Huahua, I just saw the news. Are you okay? Where’s Bo Yan? Is he with you?”


  Bo Yan was not Yan Hua’s husband. Something so terrible happened to the Yan family, even if he did not like Yan Hua, he should be accompanying her, right?

  At the moment, Yan Hua was standing in an apartment her father had bought for her. After the villa was sealed up, she had moved into this apartment.

  Recently, she had been trying to find some connections to see her father.

  But her father’s crime was so serious that those uncles who had a good relationship with the Yan family before, all found excuses and avoided her.

  Not to mention offering their help.

  It was Yan Hua’s first experience of the fickleness and cruelness of human nature.

  When they were thriving, those people would flatter and curry their favor, when they were on the decline, they turned a blind eye.

  Yan Hua stood in front of the wardrobe and picked out a black chiffon dress.

  This was a dress she had bought at the mall a few months ago after being humiliated by Chen Qianqian.

  Only a thin person could wear it.

  She had bought the dress as a goal for herself.

  Yan Hua did not expect that in a few months, she would be able to wear this dress.

  “Zhizhi, don’t worry, I’m all right. People have to grow up, don’t they?” Yan Hua laughed softly.

  After the call with Nan Zhi, Yan Hua changed into the dress. She seemed to have lost a lot of weight after the arrest of her father and the sealing of the Yan family’s villa.

  When she was still fat, she was unable to slim down, but now, she seemed to be losing weight every day.

  Yan Hua changed into the dress and the close-fitting fabric completely showed off the curves of her body. The black color of the dress made her skin more fair and her face more small and exquisite.

  She looked at the message she had just received and applied a bright-colored lipstick.
