Looking at her adorable, bewildered expression, Song Yan's smile deepened.
He raised his hand and gently stroked her lips, which were red from being kissed, with his fingertips.
"nothing."
Song Yan gazed into her eyes and said, word by word, with utmost clarity, "I just feel that my heart is truly beautiful."
This unexpected sweet talk was even more powerful than the kiss just now!
Chu Xin'er's heart was soaked in a warm honey pot.
It's sour, numbing, and so sweet it's almost bubbly.
Her cheeks, from her ears to her neck, were all flushed a beautiful pink.
"You...you..."
Chu Xin'er couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. She could only lower her eyes like a frightened little rabbit, her long eyelashes trembling nervously. She didn't dare to look into Song Yan's eyes at all.
This man!
How can you be so good at flirting!
Seeing her looking so embarrassed that she almost evaporated on the spot, Song Yan's heart softened completely.
He reached out his other hand and gently tucked a stray lock of her hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, behind her ear.
"Silly girl."
Song Yan's voice was full of doting: "You're shy already?"
"I...I didn't!"
Chu Xin'er stubbornly retorted, but her increasingly red face completely betrayed her.
This adorable, contradictory demeanor made Song Yan fall even more deeply in love with him.
How could he possibly hold back?
Song Yan leaned down again, and this time, his kiss was no longer just a light touch.
Instead, it landed with a strong sense of possessiveness, domineering yet tender.
"Hmm..."
Chu Xin'er's pupils dilated instantly.
I was so stunned by the sudden kiss that my mind went completely blank.
After the kiss, Song Yan pressed his forehead against hers, so close that they could clearly feel each other's hot breaths and pounding hearts.
"Now... do you know why I was looking at you?"
Chu Xin'er's cheeks were so red they looked like they could bleed. She lowered her eyes and could only nod.
"good."
Song Yan gently ruffled Chu Xin'er's hair with satisfaction before taking her hand again and continuing their stroll in the garden.
Their fingers were intertwined, and they never let go.
I will never let go in this lifetime.
...
On the other side.
Thousands of miles away from Haicheng, in a remote and impoverished mountain valley whose name cannot even be found on a map.
In a cellar where no sunlight could penetrate and which reeked of decay and filth.
"Heh...heh..."
Gu Wanwan curled up on the cold, damp ground, like a dying animal, letting out painful gasps from her throat.
This place is her hell on earth.
Those once delicate hands, which never lifted a finger, are now black and cracked, with dirt stuck under their fingernails that they can't get out.
Her once proud face was now covered in dirt and so haggard that she was unrecognizable.
The clothes he was wearing, which were originally decent, had long been torn into several pieces of rags, barely covering his body, and emitting a nauseating sour smell.
Her hair was like a clump of dry grass, tangled up in a mess, and you could even see lice crawling on it.
Her slightly protruding belly, like a cruel irony, revealed her most tragic and humiliating state at this moment—
She was sold to a remote mountain village to be a "shared wife" to a group of old bachelors who had never seen a woman in their lives, and her sole purpose was to bear children.
"Gu Ruijie...you beast! You deserve to die a horrible death!"
Gu Wanwan used her hands, which were already blistered and bleeding, to fiercely scratch the hard ground. Her nails broke and bled profusely, but she felt no pain at all.
The intense hatred she felt had numbed all her senses.
She never dreamed that her own brother would collude with the thugs she had hired for money to sell her to this living hell where she could cry out to heaven and earth in vain!
How dare he?!
How could he do that?!
"And you too! Ye Nian'an!!"
A venomous glint flashed in Gu Wanwan's eyes.
"It's all your fault! You bitch! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this state today!"
"You ruined everything I had! You ruined my life! Ye Nian'an, I'll haunt you even as a ghost! I'll tear you to pieces! I'll make sure your family is destroyed! I'll make sure all those little bastards you and your children suffer a terrible death!"
She cursed desperately, using all her strength, as if that would allow her to slowly and painfully kill the two people she hated most.
She firmly believed that she would be able to get out!
Once Dad and my second brother realize she's missing, they'll definitely use all their connections to find her!
Once she gets out, she'll tear every man who's ever touched her to pieces!
Then, she will return to Haicheng and take revenge on Ye Nian'an in the most vicious and cruel way!
Just as Gu Wanwan was immersed in her crazy fantasy of revenge, the heavy wooden door of the cellar was creaked open from the outside.
An old man with gray hair and a wrinkled face walked in, carrying a bowl of dark, unidentifiable "food".
He slammed the bowl down on the ground and stared greedily at Gu Wanwan's already protruding belly with his cloudy eyes.
"Eat."
"Eat more, and give me a big, healthy son!"
"roll!"
Gu Wanwan didn't even glance at the bowl of pig feed; her voice was filled with sharp hatred.
The old man wasn't angry; instead, he chuckled, revealing a set of yellowed, blackened teeth.
