  Just like the last time, Gu Yusheng looked to her like a ferocious beast.

  His skin was burning hot, yet when he touched Qin Zhi’ai, her heart chilled as if she was soaked in ice water.

  She actually really wanted to escape, but pinned down with his great strength, she had nowhere to escape to.

  Every move of his was rough, butchering her body like a sharp knife and causing great pain.

  Afraid that her pleas for mercy would carelessly slip out of her mouth, Qin Zhi’ai gritted her teeth and tolerated the long torture.

  Every cell of hers was screaming in suffocating pain, and every second seemed like an eternity. Qin Zhi’ai didn’t want herself to cry out loud in the case that she couldn’t take it anymore, so she began forcing herself to count silently.

  It was effective at the start, but the pain was so strong that her train of thought kept being broken. The “59” that she had counted suddenly went back to “57.”


  Qin Zhi’ai didn’t know how many times she had counted the same number before Gu Yusheng finally spared her.

  When it all ended, Gu Yusheng got up from the bed, wrapped himself in the sheets from the bed and walked into the bathroom.

  Qin Zhi’ai, who was left behind, looked half-paralyzed. She laid on the bed and couldn’t even find the strength to breathe.

  When Qin Zhi’ai had almost fallen asleep like that, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open. Gu Yusheng, who had finished his bath, walked out in fresh and smart clothes.

  He tied the buttons on his sleeves as he walked, looking elegant and dignified. He only took a slight glance at Qin Zhi’ai when he passed by the bed.

  While she was struggling, Qin Zhi’ai’s perspiration had ruined her makeup, making her original appearance almost impossible to recognize. Her hair stuck to her face in a wet mess and her exposed skin was covered with both heavy and light traces of the violence, even some hints of blue-green from his forcefulness.

  Taking little notice of the sorry state that she was in, without any change on his calm face, Gu Yusheng strode towards the door. However, he suddenly turned back after taking just two steps and returned to the bedside. He reached out, grabbed her chin, made her face him, then whispered into her ear.

  Gu Yusheng’s eyes were piercing like the keenest razors, and his fierce breath blew onto Qin Zhi’ai’s face. His voice sounded tranquil, but the lines he spoke were such explicit threats. “If you enjoyed the hospitality that I just provided you with, you can go complain to Grandpa again! I’ll take your challenge anytime!

  “However, Liang Doukou, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Next time, it won’t just be the same as today. There’s a great variety of treatment, so if you’re curious, go ahead!”


  After finishing his sentence, Gu Yusheng stormed through the door and left.

  –


  The noise of Gu Yusheng’s car had just disappeared when the door of the bedroom was knocked on, accompanied by the housekeeper’s voice. “Miss, are you alright?”


  Qin Hao was tired and didn’t want to talk, but the housekeeper knocked on the door again. “Miss, can I come in?”


  Qin Zhi’ai was afraid that the housekeeper would really come in and see her in such a sorry state, so she had no choice but to pluck up her spirits and reply, “I’m fine, I just want to be alone for a while.”


  The doorway was quiet for a long while before the housekeeper spoke up, “I’m sorry, Miss, Old Master Gu made me tell him the truth.”
