Chapter 115

Qin Jiang glanced around the room and saw Gu Yan Sheng lying on the floor, looking half-dead.

He turned to look at Ye Jinghuai, then glanced at An Nuan in Ye Jinghuai's arms. He could see that An Nuan was well protected by Ye Jinghuai, with her clothes wrapped snugly around her.

So when he had told him to wait outside earlier, it wasn't because he was afraid Qin Jiang would see him being too brutal. It was so he wouldn't see An Nuan naked!

He had wondered when Ye Jinghuai would care so much about maintaining his image in front of him.

It turns out it was all for this woman An Nuan.

"Alright," Qin Jiang naturally didn't dare object and readily agreed.

Ye Jinghuai carried An Nuan and strode out in large steps.

An Nuan nestled in Ye Jinghuai's embrace the whole time, feeling inexplicably dependent in that moment, not wanting to leave his embrace.

Ye Jinghuai placed An Nuan in the sedan parked downstairs.

He got up to leave.

An Nuan blurted something out but held back again.

She watched as Ye Jinghuai walked to the driver's seat and told the driver, "Go down."

"Yes, sir." The driver was respectful.

Ye Jinghuai sat in the driver's seat and drove them back himself.

The two were silent the whole way.

Ye Jinghuai's face remained grim.

Even with his handsome features, no one dared approach him.

An Nuan didn't know what to say either.

Thinking about everything that had happened tonight...

She just felt awful.

Her eyes turned cold. One day, she would make Gu Yan Sheng pay back everything she had suffered twofold!

The sedan arrived at Ye Jinghuai's villa.

Ye Jinghuai stopped the car.

An Nuan opened the door herself.

Ye Jinghuai also got out from the driver's seat.

The two walked into the great hall one after the other.

In the great hall, Steward Zhong was still cleaning up. Seeing them return, he was clearly very enthusiastic, especially at seeing Ye Jinghuai return. "Young Master..."

But his voice abruptly stopped when he saw Ye Jinghuai's expression.

He quickly turned to look at An Nuan, seeming to want an answer from her.

An Nuan was also in no mood to explain anything then. She just silently went upstairs.

She felt like she needed time to process everything that had happened tonight.

She went upstairs and into her room.

The moment she closed her room door, Ye Jinghuai suddenly braced against it.

An Nuan stared blankly at him.

Ye Jinghuai was clearly in a terrible mood tonight, his expression very ugly.

She really didn't want to provoke Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai used some force to push An Nuan into the room.

An Nuan staggered back a few steps.

Ye Jinghuai strode directly into An Nuan's bathroom, seeming to run her a bath.

When he came out, he told An Nuan, "Go take a bath!"

An Nuan pursed her lips.

In fact, the first thing she wanted to do when she got back was to take a bath.

So although she was a little annoyed by Ye Jinghuai's arrogance, she obediently went into the bathroom.

She took off the black suit Ye Jinghuai had put on her.

Underneath the black suit was a tattered dress, even her bra was gone. Her current state was extremely exposed.

She walked naked under the shower and scrubbed her body vigorously.

Then slowly and carefully, she washed herself clean.

Just thinking about Gu Yan Sheng's kisses made her feel disgusted.

She washed for a long time.

She scrubbed her tender skin until a large red patch appeared before finally relenting on her delicate body. Then she put on a clean bathrobe and left the bathroom.

Outside the bathroom, Ye Jinghuai was still in An Nuan's bedroom.

He sat coldly on the sofa, watching as she came out with water still dripping from her body, her hair not even dried.

His eyes stared coldly at her.

Just staring fixedly at her, making An Nuan feel somewhat uneasy.

She should have gotten dressed before coming out, instead of just wearing a loose bathrobe.

She tried to stay calm and said, "Thank you for tonight. I'm fine now, you should go back to your room."

"I have something to do," Ye Jinghuai said slowly and deliberately.

An Nuan frowned.

What did he have to do?!

He was the one who beat someone up tonight.

Could he have hurt his hand from hitting too hard?!

Just as An Nuan was puzzled, Ye Jinghuai suddenly approached her.

He moved close to her body before she could react.

"Mmph." Her lips were suddenly captured by Ye Jinghuai.

An Nuan's eyes widened as she looked at Ye Jinghuai.

Looking at this sudden dangerous man.

She instinctively resisted, pushing her hands firmly against Ye Jinghuai.

Ye Jinghuai's aggressiveness, his strength, his determination, made An Nuan feel he was even more dangerous than Gu Yan Sheng just now?!

So.

She had escaped from Gu Yan Sheng.

But now she couldn't escape from Ye Jinghuai?

She was firmly restrained by him and thrown onto the bed.

His lips moved from her lips to her body...

"Don't!" An Nuan resisted.

She really didn't want to.

Anytime would be fine, but not now.

At least not now, when she didn't feel like it at all.

In fact, even marrying Ye Jinghuai, even if it was a nominal marriage, she had prepared herself that they might sleep together.

But not now.

She had just escaped from Gu Yan Sheng's disgusting clutches. She didn't want to feel that Ye Jinghuai was actually the same kind of person as Gu Yan Sheng...

That all men were the same!

The quiet room.

The rising warmth seemed to turn cold.

Ye Jinghuai wrapped An Nuan's bathrobe tightly around her.

Then he got off her.

Looking at her with tears streaming ceaselessly down her cheeks.

His throat moved.

Actually...he hadn't gone all the way.

Just...just thinking about the traces left on An Nuan's body from Gu Yan Sheng's molestation made him angry and jealous, wanting to erase them vindictively.

But he hadn't expected.

He had almost lost control of himself.

Seeing An Nuan's tears now, he finally softened.

His long fingers helped wipe away her tear stains. "When Gu Yan Sheng kissed you, how come you didn't cry?"

An Nuan opened her eyes, looking tearfully at the man before her.

Looking at the desire that had just filled his eyes, now empty and cold.

She bit her lip tightly.

She didn't know why either. When Gu Yan Sheng did those things to her, she only felt hatred, with no heartache at all.

But now with Ye Jinghuai doing this, it made her heart ache to numbness.

"Don't cry anymore." Ye Jinghuai's voice was clearly much warmer.

But An Nuan couldn't control herself no matter what.

Clearly, she had told herself after rebirth that she would never shed another tear.

That she would never show the slightest softness again.

Yet now because of this scourge Ye Jinghuai, her eyes were blurred with tears.

"Be good," Ye Jinghuai coaxed her. "I really won't do it again, don't cry anymore."

An Nuan turned her head away.

A man's word was a devil's.

"I was wrong just now, I shouldn't have treated you like that," Ye Jinghuai started admitting his mistake, somewhat awkwardly and clumsily.

After all, in this life.

He had never lowered his head to any woman before.

He had also never spoken to a woman in such a low, humble manner.

Afraid.

Of hurting her heart.
