As Wen Yi struggled to get up, the wind outside the balcony blew up the curtains, and the light from outside the window refracted in, illuminating the scarred and traumatized face. Wen Yi was so frightened that her scalp tingled, and she stared wide-eyed.
The man sneered, "Scared?"
Wen Yi didn't say anything.
From this angle, combined with the man's face, it was indeed quite startling.
Wen Yi's reaction was expected by the man. He got up, sat down on the opposite side of the sofa, and lit a cigarette.
The movements were performed in one smooth motion.
“I remember, it was this room last time too.”
He exhaled a faint puff of smoke as he spoke, "You clearly told me you weren't my little bride, so why are you changing your mind now?"
Wen Yi was still reeling from the frightening scene, but she knew very well what her situation was. Even if she was scared, she had to quickly adjust her mindset.
Wen Yi propped herself up and sat up straight, facing the man opposite her.
The balcony curtains fluttered in the wind, and the light shone intermittently on the man's scarred face.
Wen Yi clenched his fists, suppressing a series of fears.
"I have no regrets. I really couldn't get married back then."
"oh?"
"I had a boyfriend back then."
Because of Wen Yi's words, the man paused for a few seconds while smoking, and a cold laugh echoed in the dark room, "And then?"
“My boyfriend is dead,” Wen Yi said.
She said it very calmly, without any emotion, and without any further emotion.
Not a single tear.
Since Gu Huaixu left, Wen Yi has only seen Luo Jia, not even Gu Zeyu, and has not even inquired about the Gu family.
Wen Yi didn't know when Gu Huaixu's funeral was or where he was buried, nor did she inquire about it.
It was as if Gu Huaixu had simply disappeared from her world from that day onwards, and she didn't seem to feel any sadness at all.
I'm not sad.
"Your boyfriend is dead, that's enough for you to marry me." Second Master's voice was cold and mocking. "Trying to be my sucker?"
"You've got some nerve." He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.
Wen Yi remained seated calmly on the sofa, showing no fear despite the man's powerful aura.
She said, "After all, I am going to marry the Second Master, so he should know my situation clearly. First of all, I am not a virgin. Secondly, I do not love anyone and will not love the Second Master in the future. But since I am married into the Royal Garden, I will definitely fulfill my duties as a wife. I know very well what I should and should not do."
"You're quite direct."
“Some things are pointless to beat around the bush. Since I’m going to marry you, rather than letting Second Master find out about these things on his own, I’d rather be honest. I can also make a request.”
When Wen Yi finished speaking, the man opposite her laughed and applauded.
"Your personality is quite interesting."
"So, Second Master, do you still plan to marry her?"
"What if I don't marry you because of what you said?" He suddenly stopped all his movements and stared directly at Wen Yi.
The curtains on the balcony were blown up, making the man's gloomy face appear even more sinister and terrifying.
Wen Yi was fearless. "What could possibly happen? It would just mean the second daughter of the Wen family would be forced to marry into this family, or that I would die here, or..."
"That's all, what's the big deal?"
Wen shrugged, looking invincible.
It seems that she has no fear of anything that comes her way.
What is there to fear in this world for someone who has no expectations for the future and no fear of death?
The man did not respond to Wen Yi. Instead, he leaned back on the sofa, spread his hands, and stared at Wen Yi with a meaningful look.
The wind outside the balcony stopped blowing, and the room fell into a dim state. Wen Yi could only vaguely see the outline of the man sitting on the sofa.
To be honest, there was a moment when Wen Yi was quite moved.
The man's figure and silhouette were so similar to Gu Huaixu that Wen Yi had several moments when she really wanted to rush over and touch him.
Even if she only saw this man as a substitute for Gu Huaixu, she still wanted to hug him.
There are many regrets between Ah Xu and me.
Their little house wasn't fully decorated to their liking yet, they hadn't eaten the watermelon after summer, and they hadn't gone to the water park as promised on the weekend...
Wen closed her eyes, feeling only dryness and pain.
"Since you've come here to make a request, then say it. What is your request?"
In the darkness, the man's voice was deep and languid.
Wen opened her eyes and said, "My request is that I don't want a grand wedding. If Second Master wants to marry me, he can just send someone to pick me up tomorrow. But I want a marriage certificate and I want my household registration book to leave the Wen family."
"The household registration book is out of the Wen family's possession." This sentence is quite intriguing. "According to you, as long as the household registration book is not in the Wen family's possession, it can be anywhere."
"Yes." Wen Yi nodded directly.
Second Master suddenly sneered, "Do you know you're in my hands right now? You're talking so foolishly, aren't you afraid of getting punished?"
He suddenly leaned forward, his aura pressing down on Wen Yi, "I might make you wish you were dead."
"And then?" Wen asked calmly.
The two people looked at each other in the darkness.
Wen Yi's eyes used to be calm, but not so lifeless. She didn't care about anything, she wasn't afraid of pain, death, or humiliation, so what was there for her to fear?
After a few seconds of eye contact, the Second Master returned to his seat. "I agree to your conditions. But I will not marry so easily."
Wen Yi didn't say anything.
The man's voice rang out again, "Go back and wait for news."
He had already told Wen Yi to leave, and Wen Yi didn't know what he meant by saying that getting married wouldn't be so easy, or whether they could get married tomorrow.
But Wen didn't ask any questions; he had already told them to leave.
She spoke so directly, and Wen Yi was already thankful that he hadn't killed her, so he didn't linger any longer.
As Wen Yi got up from the sofa, a dim yellow light shone into the room to illuminate her. Without turning around, Wen Yi left directly.
Only after Wen Yi completely left the room did all the lights in the room turn on, illuminating the entire room.
The man on the sofa had a hideous and terrifying face, but an excellent physique and demeanor. He was a typical aristocratic young master, and he was now leaning lazily on the sofa, exuding an unparalleled sense of nobility.
His gaze was deep and unfathomable as he stared at the doorway where Wen Yi had left, carrying a hint of something unfathomable.
"Master." Luo Jia walked over.
The man on the sofa reached out and removed the mask from his face, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
With deep-set features, sharp brow bones, and a pair of captivating yet piercing eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
This stunning face belongs to Gu Huaixu, Wen Yi's now-deceased boyfriend!
All the people in Haicheng knew was that the Second Master of Yutingyuan was a tyrant, cruel by nature, and did things against the will of the people. Anyone who touched the Second Master of Yutingyuan would die.
But no one knew that the exceptionally talented and wealthy young man from Haicheng was synonymous with this devil.
