Gu Wanrou froze instantly, her feet rooted to the spot.

Looking up, she saw Li Zhanfeng's tall and slender figure rush into the downpour, heading straight for Gu Wanrou without looking back!

Gu Wanrou watched through the thick rain curtain as that familiar face rushed towards her. A wave of regret surged through her heart, and she could no longer distinguish between tears and raindrops on her face.

If her relationship with Li Zhanfeng was orchestrated back then, how much did she and Li Zhanfeng actually miss out on?

She missed the person she loved most, and she missed the most beautiful memories of the past. When she returned to the same place, everything had changed.

In her daze, she was suddenly pulled into a man's strong arms, the force so powerful it seemed he wanted to mash Gu Wanrou into his body: "Rourou, I was wrong... I was wrong, Rourou..."

"I'll do anything as long as you don't leave me, please just don't leave me."

Five years ago, it was ultimately because he was too incompetent. If he had been capable enough to protect Rou Rou, how could Rou Rou have suffered for so many years for no reason?!

Five years! He's had enough!

Gu Wanrou didn't expect Li Zhanfeng to suddenly get so excited, so she quickly crawled out of Li Zhanfeng's arms!

"Li Zhanfeng, I'm asking you, what exactly happened five years ago?! Why did you break up with me? Did you send anyone after the breakup... um!"

Before she could finish speaking, the man's strong hand suddenly pulled her into his embrace, and his stunningly handsome face loomed large before her eyes, swallowing all her questions and anger.

Gu Wanrou opened her eyes wide in shock, placed her hands on Li Zhanfeng's chest, and subconsciously tried to push him away.

She still had many questions to ask Li Zhanfeng; she wanted to know the answers, she wanted to know why!

But the more she struggled, the stronger Li Zhanfeng held her, imprisoning her fiercely and plundering her madly.

He wanted to devour Gu Wanrou with all the emotions in his chest, to possess her, to enjoy her, until his mind was filled with nothing but her.

He's really gone mad. Just thinking about Rou Rou's inner breakdown and despair over the past five years makes him feel like his heart is being torn apart.

When he returned to the capital, he couldn't understand why Rou Rou, who used to be so gentle and delicate, had become so cold and ruthless.

But now that I think about it, if I hadn't been filled with extreme grief and despair over the past five years, how could I have turned such a delicate and easily bullied person into this?

He could hardly imagine what kind of painful torment Rou Rou had gone through over the past five years to achieve such a complete transformation.

But he knew that it was all his fault; he had failed to protect the woman he loved most...

In the pouring rain, two figures embraced tightly, their passion and wildness adding a touch of youthful and passionate beauty.

Old Master Li had already stopped walking, holding an umbrella in one hand, smiling knowingly and concealing his accomplishment.

He told me not to worry about his Zhan Feng, right? Wan Rou is still here, why would he run away?

This is probably the passion of young people—to love whenever they want.

All emotions and desires grow wildly at this age, and there's no way to escape them.

Thinking of this, the smile in Old Master Li's eyes deepened, and he turned around unhurriedly.

She also called away the servants who were staring in disbelief, as it would be bad if the young people's interest were spoiled.

In the torrential rain, Gu Wanrou felt her breath being taken away inch by inch. In the end, she could only stop struggling. Unexpectedly, she then felt the man bend down and kiss her more forcefully, while his arms held her waist even tighter.

Just as she felt herself about to collapse into his arms, Li Zhanfeng's husky voice rang in her ear, passionate and lingering:

"Rou Rou, the person who chased you back then wasn't me, nor was it someone I sent. I didn't even know you were being hunted..."

"Ever since you left Mu Rou Manor, I've been looking for you, but Rou Rou, I haven't been able to find you..."

"So Rou Rou, please forgive me, okay? Forgive me for making you suffer so much because of my incompetence..."

His deep voice, still carrying a hint of desire from the recent kiss, was even more irresistibly alluring when it reached her ear.

Gu Wanrou's pupils trembled slightly, but she could not hide the shock and sorrow in her heart. So that's how it is.

Li Zhanfeng had never sent anyone to hunt her down, nor had he ever been so ruthless and cruel.

So what about all the suffering she's endured over the past five years? Was it all just a carefully crafted deception orchestrated for her?

Did they orchestrate a whole scam just to break her and Li Zhanfeng apart?

But she didn't understand what secrets were hidden within this!

She quickly looked up and raised her voice, asking, "Then why did you break up with me back then? Didn't you say that no matter what happened, you would choose to face it with me? What happened back then...?"

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zhanfeng's head, which had been resting on her neck, suddenly drooped heavily. Gu Wanrou's heart jumped. When she looked down, she found that half of Li Zhanfeng's weight was on her, and his legs were about to bend.

"Li Zhanfeng!" Gu Wanrou exclaimed, but Li Zhanfeng seemed to have lost consciousness.

Gu Wanrou's heart clenched immediately. She quickly hugged Li Zhanfeng tightly, and the servants nearby rushed over to help.

Hearing the commotion, Old Master Li came out as well. Seeing the scene, he immediately ordered, "Go and call the doctor right away, quickly!"

He also instructed, "After taking Zhan Feng to his room, hurry out and inform the Rong family that it's already dark tonight, so Miss Wanrou will stay at the Li family's house for the time being! She can go back tomorrow when the Rong family holds a banquet for her!"

"Yes, sir! I'll go right now! Please help Miss Wanrou get Master Feng to his room!"

The servants acted quickly, helping Li Zhanfeng into his room before hurriedly leaving.

"Li Zhanfeng, are you alright?" Gu Wanrou hurriedly squatted down, wanting to check the wound on Li Zhanfeng's back. He usually wouldn't be a big deal if he got caught in the rain, but this time he was injured, probably because of the injury on his back!

Unexpectedly, just as she was about to start examining Li Zhanfeng's body, Li Zhanfeng suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Gu Wanrou was slightly taken aback, but Li Zhanfeng suddenly tightened his grip and pulled Gu Wanrou down abruptly...

"Hey, Li Zhanfeng..." Gu Wanrou felt dizzy and her back suddenly sank into the soft quilt. Before she could react, her hands were also imprisoned above her head by Li Zhanfeng.

What awaited her was a man's passionate, forceful, domineering, and irresistible kiss.
