Inside the Gu family's bridal chamber.
Gu Tingmo was lying on the bed wrapped in a bathrobe, with a large expanse of his honey-colored skin exposed. Listening to the rushing water in the bathroom, the evil dragon within him gradually awakened.
It's been an hour.
Shen Jia, that woman, has been showering in the bathroom for an hour.
Gu Tingmo finally couldn't sit still any longer and got up to knock on the bathroom door.
"Wife, how long do you plan to hide in there?"
Shen Jia was startled, and her small body wrapped in a bath towel trembled.
She had actually finished showering long ago, but the thought of what she would face outside made her wish she could just sleep on the bathroom floor.
Shen Jia turned off the tap and shouted something outside.
What's your rush!
Gu Tingmo's nonchalant voice rang out from outside.
"Of course I'm anxious! If you don't come out now, it'll be dawn by the time you get here. Honey, today is our wedding night. Even if it's daylight, I won't let you off the hook."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jia blushed instantly and dared not go out.
Gu Tingmo is acting like a thug, saying anything he wants!
"Honey, come out right now, or I'll use my key to open the door!"
Upon hearing this, memories flooded back to Shen Jia. She silently cursed him as a lunatic, but still turned around and opened the door.
Her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, revealing her rounded shoulders and delicate collarbone. Her fair and beautiful face was tinged with a light pink, and a small flame instantly ignited in Gu Tingmo's eyes.
He felt tense all over, his throat was dry and itchy, and the man's gaze gradually moved down to her slender calf.
Shen Jia felt a chill run down her spine from his gaze, and unconsciously wrapped the towel around her tighter, glaring at him angrily.
"What are you looking at!"
Gu Tingmo's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared at her and suddenly asked, "Without a bra?"
There was a brief silence of about three seconds before Shen Jia's furious voice rang out.
"Gu Tingmo, get out!"
With a series of crackling sounds, Gu Tingmo's pillow, clothes, pants, various belts, and watches were all thrown out by Shen Jia.
Gu Tingmo covered his head and ran away, dodging Shen Jia's physical attacks.
"Honey, calm down, I was wrong."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, honey. I won't be so rude anymore."
"Hey, hey, don't hit me."
He kept calling her "wife" and "husband," which made Shen Jia even more embarrassed and angry.
The strength in his hands was not to be taken lightly.
Gu Tingmo saw a pile of things thrown outside the door. He was afraid that the servants would find out and he would lose face. He tried to go out and pick up the things while avoiding Shen Jia, but just as he reached for his pants, the door behind him slammed shut.
"You damn man, you can go sleep with Xiaxia tonight!"
Gu Tingmo, clutching his clothes and wearing only a bath towel, protested at the door.
"Shen Jia! Tonight is our wedding night!"
Shen Jia stood inside, arrogant and haughty. "I don't care about your wedding night! If you've upset me, you're going to sleep with Xia Xia tonight. If you dare to use your key to open the door and come in, I'll take Xia Xia back to my parents' house tomorrow!"
Gu Tingmo got angry; "You dare!"
"You'll see if I dare!"
Poor young master Gu, he had been waiting for a long time for the day he could eat meat, but he ruined it with just one sentence. When he went to Xiaxia's room with his pillow, the little girl looked at him innocently and asked in confusion.
"Dad, isn't today the day you and Mommy give birth to my little sister? What are you doing here?"
Gu Tingmo sighed and hugged the little guy's soft body into his arms.
"Oh, Dad just wanted to keep you company because he was worried you wouldn't be used to it alone."
A hint of disgust flashed across Xia Xia Meng's little face; "Daddy, you weren't kicked out by Mommy, and you're afraid of losing face, so you're lying to the kids, right?"
Gu Tingmo; "..."
Xiaxia: "Dad, why aren't you saying anything? Could it be that I was right?"
"No."
"Dad, you're lying."
"I already said no."
"Dad, you're so stupid, you let Mommy slip through your fingers."
"You little brat, how dare you laugh at your old man? Believe me or not, I'll beat you up."
“你揍我，我就怂恿我妈咪改嫁！”
"You dare!"
The father and son bickered, and it ended with Xiaxia falling asleep while Gu Tingmo was too angry to sleep.
...
The wound on Su Yaoyao's shoulder wasn't large, but the doctor still said it might leave a scar.
Her face was pale, and at this moment, she was thinking more about Huo Xiting.
Even a tiny bit of sulfuric acid splashed on her leaves a scar, so what about Huo Xiting?
When she and Yu Chiyan went to see him, Huo Xiting was applying medicine.
The white gauze was peeled away layer by layer, revealing large patches of red, mottled skin that looked as if it were rotting.
Huo Xiting lay on the bed, his face pale, large beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He didn't utter a sound while the medicine was applied, but his hands, gripping the edge of the bed, turned white, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.
Upon seeing this scene, Su Yaoyao's vision blurred instantly.
She was only slightly touched, and it hurt so much; she couldn't imagine how much pain Huo Xiting must be in!
Yu Chiyan frowned upon seeing this, but he still tried to persuade Su Yaoyao.
"Yaoyao, let him come in after he finishes changing his dressing."
He helped Su Yaoyao out, and she did not refuse. When they reached the corridor, Yu Chiyan asked her to sit on a chair.
Su Yaoyao gasped for air, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
Her voice was filled with self-blame and regret; "Yu Chiyan, it's all my fault... He did it to save me..."
Yu Chiyan sat down next to her, reached out and hugged her tightly, gently kissing her forehead.
“What’s done is done. I promise you, I will make that person pay the price and avenge you. I will also compensate Huo Xiting. Whatever he wants, I will give him. So be good and stop crying, okay?”
He knew that Huo Xiting was injured while saving Su Yaoyao, but seeing Su Yaoyao cry for another man still made him feel a little dissatisfied, but he felt even more sorry for her.
Su Yaoyao felt no better after hearing Yu Chiyan's words.
Neither she nor Yu Chiyan could make amends to Huo Xiting.
Because she knew what Huo Xiting wanted, and she also knew what Huo Xiting had lost because of her.
Both she and Yu Chiyan were the ones who hurt Huo Xiting.
But he always protected himself, and even when he did some things to sow discord between her and Yu Chiyan, it seemed harmless.
Just then, Jiang Chen suddenly arrived.
Yu Chiyan immediately asked, "Has the person been caught?"
Jiang Chen paused for a moment when he saw Su Yaoyao.
Yu Chiyan was getting impatient; "Speak."
Jiang Chen lowered his head and slowly began to speak; "She's a high school student named Asagao. Both her parents are factory workers, her family is of average means, and... she's a minor..."
As expected, Su Yaoyao and Yu Chiyan's expressions darkened upon hearing this.
It turns out he was a minor.
What does it mean to be a minor?
This means he will not be punished by law!
