Li Yunyan watched as he took off his outer robe and then began to untie his belt, her feelings a complex mix.
She wasn't actually against it, but she didn't want to right now, and she didn't want to be with him!
"Gu Yingzhi, are you insane? What you're doing is blatant kidnapping of a woman!"
Gu Yingzhi had already unbuttoned his inner garment, revealing his strong and muscular chest.
Four years had passed, and he missed her terribly. From the moment he saw her again, he had wanted to do this!
"Even if I forcibly take you, no one will dare to stand up for you!"
He leaned forward, intending to tear open her outer garment just as he had done four years ago.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunyan pulled the hairpin off her head and held it to her throat.
With a look of grim determination, she declared, "Gu Yingzhi, if you try to bully me, I'll die right here in front of you!"
Gu Yingzhi paused. "Yanyan, do you really hate me that much?"
Li Yunyan's long, ink-black hair was completely draped down, and her clear black and white eyes were filled with a thin mist, tears welling up but not falling, making her look as if she were about to shatter.
She choked back tears as she said, "You bullied me like this four years ago. Are you going to do it again four years later?"
Hearing her tearful complaints, Gu Yingzhi thought of all the grievances she had suffered before, and suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.
He removed his hand from her body and softened his tone, "Yanyan, don't cry, I won't touch you! Quickly put the hairpin down!"
"No! You leave this room first!"
"Okay! I'll leave! Don't move!"
Gu Yingzhi really intended to go out. He had plenty of time to spend with her slowly, so there was no rush.
Unexpectedly, his gaze inadvertently fell on the hairpin in her hand.
A pure white pear blossom hairpin.
The jade is of superior quality, but what is most eye-catching is the small character "风" (wind) carved under the pear blossom.
That handwriting was the personal seal Xie Fengsheng would use every time he wrote to him.
His eyes suddenly reddened, and the image of the two of them kissing in the clinic flashed through his mind. The jealousy he had been suppressing for so long suddenly erupted at that moment.
He abruptly snatched the jade hairpin from her hand and then slammed it to the ground.
The hairpin broke into several pieces with a snap.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before Li Yunyan could even react, he had pushed her onto the bed.
His voice was terrifyingly somber. "You're unwilling because of Xie Fengsheng? If Xie Fengsheng were the one holding you back right now, would you be willing?"
"You're sick! You're insane!"
Li Yunyan pushed against his chest with all her might, but he didn't budge.
Immediately afterwards, a tearing sound rang out, and Li Yunyan's clothes were instantly ripped apart.
His shapely figure made his eyes appear even darker. He lowered his head, his large hands exploring incessantly. "Did he ever do this to you? Huh? Did he?! Do you believe me? I'll have someone kill him right now!"
No! He didn't!
Li Yunyan was afraid that he would really kill Xie Fengsheng, so she immediately retorted.
Gu Yingzhi was happy.
But the next moment, he got even angrier.
"You're only saying this because you're afraid I'll kill him! You care that much about his life or death?!"
Li Yunyan felt that Gu Yingzhi's current mental state made normal communication impossible.
Since she knew she would be wrong no matter what she said, she simply shut up and stopped talking.
She already had a sleeping potion in her mouth; if Gu Yingzhi kissed her, he would immediately collapse to the ground.
She prepared herself, coldly watching his slightly frantic actions, waiting for him to kiss her.
Unexpectedly, Gu Yingzhi dared not kiss her because of her cold gaze, and he dared not look into her eyes again, as it would make him feel like a beast.
He flipped her over.
Just like four years ago.
That bastard!
She bit her lower lip hard, trying not to make a sound.
Gu Yingzhi became even more agitated, "Yanyan, you clearly have feelings for me! You clearly have me in your heart! Why are you so heartless towards me?!"
Li Yunyan closed her eyes tightly, her mind unable to think. In the last moment before she fainted, she only managed to instruct the system:
"System, don't get me pregnant!"

When Li Yunyan woke up, Gu Yingzhi was no longer in the room.
The room was luxuriously decorated, and her favorite incense was burning, creating a pleasant and refreshing atmosphere.
She propped herself up and got out of bed, and then someone came in.
It's Xiangxia.
"Madam, you're awake! Xiangxia will help you wash up!"
Li Yunyan let her wash and dress herself, and asked, "Xiangxia, where are the children?"
Xiangxia replied with a smile, "The three young masters are all up and are playing with the nanny and maids!"
Li Yunyan noticed that Xiangxia was adapting well, just as she had been at the clinic. Somewhat puzzled, she asked, "Xiangxia, don't you think there's anything to be happy about in our current situation?"
Xiangxia glanced outside before whispering to Li Yunyan, "Madam, I've heard people say that circumstances are beyond our control. Since we can't escape now, let's enjoy ourselves. Anyway, this Prince's mansion has everything we need, and it's all the best! When we have a chance to escape later, I'll definitely help you!"
"You're really optimistic!"
"Yes, Madam! Before you bought me, I was living one day at a time. Look! And now I've finally met you!"
Li Yunyan tapped her forehead. Xiangxia was just over ten years old when she bought her, and she was as thin as a little chick. Unexpectedly, as she was raised, she developed a shrewish personality and became like a guardian deity in Ruyan Medical Clinic.
"Is your head feeling any better? Does it still hurt?"
Xiangxia touched the lump on the back of her head and pressed it gently. "It still hurts, but my head isn't dizzy anymore. It should be fine in a few days!"
"That's good! Remember not to get it wet and don't wash your hair these next few days!"
"Yes, I understand."
Xiangxia was very skillful. In front of the bronze mirror, she styled Li Yunyan's hair into an elaborate and exquisite bun. She then picked and chose two ruby-encrusted butterfly tassel hairpins to put on her hair.
All the jewelry in the dressing table was brand new, and the clothes in the wardrobe were gorgeous and elegant, all of them new as well. Li Yunyan casually picked out an outfit and put it on, instantly transforming her aura from that of a celestial beauty to that of an incomparably stunningly beautiful woman.
When Gu Yingzhi entered with a nervous heart, he was struck by the way she turned around.
"Yanyan?"
Seeing that she didn't try to kill herself as he had expected, nor did she cry and make a scene wanting to kill him, but instead dressed up in the clothes and jewelry he had prepared for her, and sat there obediently.
Like a wife waiting for her husband to return home.
Gu Yingzhi felt a surge of anticipation.
Li Yunyan gave him a cold look. "I want to see the child."
