Fortunately, she had already broken off her engagement with Bai Yehua in this life, so she would definitely not have any connection with Liu Yao'er. What was there to be afraid of? She had to get through this hurdle. She gripped Liu Yu's right arm tightly with both hands and propped herself up.
Sweat beaded on Liu Yu's forehead. His right arm was probably fractured, and he felt a throbbing, excruciating pain. Being held by Chen Yu made the pain even more unbearable. He had no choice but to move to Chen Yu's right side and put his left arm around Chen Yu's waist.

Liu Yu, the eldest son of the Duke's family, spent his days indulging in debauchery, spending lavishly on his male lovers, yet never spending a single tael of silver on a woman.
