Zheng Shuyan returned to the hospital and rested a little while at the parking bay. He touched his lips, where Wen Ya’s smell still lingered.

Facing his mirror, he smirked as he thought about the way Yuan Zhe treated Wen Ya, and his face contorted into a ferocious version of it.

‘A woman who I am afraid of melting within my own palm was treated as such by that monster.’ Zheng Shuyan punched his steering wheel.

The horn honked loudly for a few times!

His heart was howling, ‘Yuan Zhe, I wish you could go and die!’

It was the peak hour after work, so there were no operations to attend. Yuan Tian had packed up in advance. When her car passed by Zheng Shuyan’s, she saw the cold glint in the eyes of the man inside and began to mutter to herself.

Yuan Tian was smart, she had a sudden flash of an idea.

She parked her car beside him and alighted joyfully. She knocked on Zheng Shuyan’s car window. “Doctor Zheng?”

Zheng Shuyan was shocked. He was still releasing the hatred in his heart, the interruption had him flustered.

Seeing it was Yuan Tian who was outside his window, Zheng Shuyan felt a little awkward for a while. He lowered his window and switched his expression into a smiley one. “Doctor Yuan, can I help you?”

Yuan Tian’s face was pink as she wore her flattering face. “I want to treat you to dinner!”

Zheng Shuyan was still seething hate at Yuan Zhe, he was uncomfortable seeing any Yuan Family members at all, how would he have the mood to have dinner with any of them?

“I have a date tonight, so maybe not.”

Zheng Shuyan refused politely. Even though his tone was cordial, his cold gaze was not something Yuan Tian would miss.

As one of the youngest chief doctors in the military hospital, Zheng Shuyan’s appearance had always been the talk among female doctors and nurses alike.

However, Yuan Tian was an exception. She had always treated Zheng Shuyan like a senior brother. On this day, her intention of asking him out was indeed to ask for a favor, but before she could say anything, it was struck down!

The lady was a little upset, she whined while pouting. “Doctor Zheng, you’re such a puritanical pretty boy, your coldness was even spilling out of your orifices!”

Zheng Shuyan had always thought the third house of Yuan Family, the Yuan Tangshuo and Yuan Zhuan siblings were decent people. He was only harboring resentment from his encounter in the Yuan Family Mansion, and it showed in his lukewarm treatment of Yuan Tian.

Hearing Yuan Tian’s complaint, he felt slightly guilty and came out of his car as well. “Doctor Yuan, I do have an appointment later. What if we do this another day, I’ll treat you to a dinner?”

Yuan Tian was shorter than Zheng Shuyan by half a head, she raised her calf and got closer to him. “Actually, I have a favor to ask!”

…

Every summer, Mu Chenyan’s body would decide to become lazy.

She had taken a shower and hid in the shade at the balcony on the third floor.

Yuan Xuan was still out, he had been late to arrive home recently. Whenever Mu Chenyan was bored, she would run upstairs to play with Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball.

The two furkids were growing really fast, Little Ginger Fur Ball whose body had been obese had grown to over half-feet long. The third floor was no longer large enough for them to jump around.

The pair of cats were readily escaping outside led by the male Briquet. However, whenever Mu Chenyan came, the two cats would run back and start mewing at her.

“Ginger, when you grow up, I’ll let you marry Briquet, what do you say?”

Mu Chenyan lovingly told Little Ginger Fur Ball while grabbing two lumps of fat on its body.

“Meow meow…” Little Ginger Fur Ball did not reply, but Briquet did so joyfully.

Mu Chenyan smiled. “Briquet, you are so enthusiastic in replying. Are you afraid that you might not get a wife? Hmm?”

Her voice was lazy and attractive. After her shower, she had only worn a thin sundress leisurely.

She looked bewitching without being sleazy, gentle without being weak. Her smooth, nourished skin was so supple, it felt like water could gush out of it.

Mu Chenyan laid on the recliner. Unbeknownst to her, her stance was taken in entirely by the man at the staircase.

After Yuan Xuan had bathed, he arrived at the third floor. Quietly, he stood by the staircase, watching Mu Chenyan as she conversed with the two cats. The imagery of that scene was deeply embedded in his head, he would still recall the image while standing at the same place years later…

“Meow meow…” Cats were more sensitive than humans. Sensing its daddy who hid in the corner, Briquet rushed over happily.

It was then that Mu Chenyan noticed the man.

She wanted to stand up, but Yuan Xuan approached her with long strides before pressing his hand on her shoulder. “Don’t move!”

Pressed against the recliner, Mu Chenyan laid back down. Her face was scarlet red as she whispered, “When did you arrive home? You made no sounds at all!”

Even though Yuan Xuan had bathed, there was still a scent of alcohol around him. “The first stage of the oil field was done today, I was at the celebration party.”

As he was saying that, his large hand caressed her torso…

Mu Chenyan was incredibly sensitive. She shuddered and shied away from him, but he grabbed her in one swoop. His lake-like eyes were filled with the fire of desire.

“I want to try it here!”

Mu Chenyan moaned, her tiny body was overpowered to the point of difficulty in breathing.

“Careful, someone might see…”

It was not that she did not want to do it, she just felt it was weird to do it on a balcony.

“Who? I only see the cats!”

Yuan Xuan ignored her shyness, allowing his hands to rip her clothes off of her. Her white underwear was clutched in his hand as he snickered…

Mu Chenyan did not understand the situation. The scenario changed too abruptly, she was just here to play with the cats!

“Yuan Xuan, please, can we go back to the bedroom?”

Maybe men like excitement more. Since doing it there the last time, it had been lingering in Yuan Xuan’s mind. With a perfect opportunity like this, how would be miss out on the fun?

“Didn’t you say you want to marry Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball?”

Yuan Xuan teased as he explored fervently on her body, causing chills to go down her spine repeatedly. Mu Chenyan did not understand how this had anything to do with Briquet and Little Ginger Fur Ball.

Continuing his plunder, he mumbled while panting, “Briquet is so naive, there are so many things for it to learn through watching! So, what I’m doing now is only showing Briquet how to love Little Ginger Fur Ball…”

Before Mu Chenyan could respond to that, her body had been turned over. When she realized she was bent over and her nude back was facing her man, she clutched at the cotton seat nervously…

Yuan Xuan’s hands caressed her back before he inspected his land once more with his lips, which stopped near her ear.

“Are you ready?”

“Mm…” She could not help but to moan…

He loved seeing Mu Chenyan like this. She had been teased and tickled until her body was on fire, but she still withheld her desire, maintaining the reticence of her virginity…

Seeing her suppress her desire would only make him want to bully her more…

“Little Chenyan, you made me so obsessed!”

“Tonight, they’ve arranged for some ladies. The moment I saw them, I only wanted to rush back and claim you…”

No wonder!

The reason the situation had evolved so quickly was because of that!”

“So why didn’t you… do… it there?”

Mu Chenyan was controlled by him, she no longer knew if she had any control of her body…

“I’ve been pampered by you! I only want you!”

Yuan Xuan’s sweat dripped on her back.

Wen Ya dismissed her maid and struggled to get up so she could get Zheng Shuyan some water.

Zheng Shuyan was in his white robe, the jade-like man suddenly pulled Wen Ya over and held her in his arms…

“Wen Ya! Stop avoiding me!”

Zheng Shuyan’s lips swept past Wen Ya’s earlobe, bringing to her a hint of his masculine touch.

Wen Ya shuddered as her voice gave in.

“Zheng Shuyan, let go of me, Yuan Zhe is home, if he realizes what you’re doing, you’ll be dead…”

Wen Ya had suffered ten thousand points of shock as she attempted pushing Zheng Shuyan who only tightened his hold.

She paused and started clinging onto the warmth he provided as she stopped struggling.

“Little Ya, leave with me, please? I don’t want to see you hurt anymore. Seeing you like this, I want to murder someone…”

Wen Ya cried. Her tears streamed down her cheeks freely, but she did not dare to make any sound.

She bit her lips to keep herself from crying out loud, but her body began to pulse as she suppressed her crying.

“Shuyan, I… I’m not clean… please… please don’t do this…”

Zheng Shuyan suddenly let go of Wen Ya and lifted her tear-covered face. “Little Ya, I don’t care. You’re always pure and saintly in my heart!”

Having said that, unable to control his own emotion, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips hungrily!

Wen Ya was scared. She struggled a little, but her body was not strong enough to break away from his hegemonic kiss.

Zheng Shuyan did not care. He kept plucking the fragrance between her lips and teeth greedily, his tongue playing with hers, not leaving her any respite.

With that, Wen Ya laid limply, allowing Zheng Shuyan to harvest her…

The woman who had long been denied of kindness slowly began to respond to him, her hands grasping tightly at the cloth around his waist, her breath growing heavy…

After an indeterminate amount of time, Zheng Shuyan finally let go of the woman who had been robbed of her oxygen.

He carefully placed a kiss on her forehead. “Little Ya, when I heard the dean saying he was sending someone to remove the cast for you, did you know how excited I was?”

Wen Ya cried uncontrollably again. Seeing her tears, Zheng Shuyan’s heart broke.

“Little Ya, why are you avoiding me? Do you know, my main reason for giving up staying in the UK and come to Luo Hai was to find you…”

Zheng Shuyan hugged Wen Ya tightly, his hands caressing the top of her head.

Wen Ya’s sobbing had turned into a wordless sniffle. Zheng Shuyan carried her onto the couch. After a while, when her emotion was calmer, she said slowly, “Let’s end it between us… Yuan Family is not someone you want to cross, I don’t want to involve you…”

“Little Ya, how could I leave when you’re staying in this hell hole yourself? If I leave, you should come with me. Divorce that bastard, fly away with me!”

Hearing that, Wen Ya chuckled bitterly. She looked up at Zheng Shuyan, her face determined. “I’m not leaving. I want to stay, I want to see these demons getting the karma they deserve! My child… cannot die in vain… If I live in pain… they cannot live in paradise…”

As she said that, Wen Ya smiled wildly. She clutched at Zheng Shuyan’s arms fervidly. “Shuyan, I can’t involve you in this. If Yuan Zhe found out, he could do anything…”

Zheng Shuyan snorted. He said lightly, “You think I’m afraid of him?”

Just as he said that, a set of footsteps came from outside, “Where’s my wife?”

The maid said, “Young Master, the doctor removing her cast was just here…”

Wen Ya knew it was Yuan Zhe. She pushed Zheng Shuyan away and begged, “Please leave, quickly. You can’t let Yuan Zhe see you. I don’t care if he beats me to death, I can’t have him involve you…”

Zheng Shuyan shook Wen Ya’s hand unhurriedly. “Little Ya, don’t worry!”

He stood up, stretching the creases on his outfit with a composed coolness, and a well-knit collectedness reappeared on his person.

When Yuan Zhe had come in, he managed to catch Zheng Shuyan’s cold eyes. Yuan Zhe was startled as he looked at Wen Ya. Her face was dry, but it was apparent that she had just cried.

The man’s face darkened. “Wen Ya, what’s happening? Hmm? ”

Yuan Zhe’s voice had always been full of murderous intent that may have been trained on him due to his being bullied. Every time Wen Ya heard him, she was scared.

Shuddering, she could not look at Yuan Zhe with her red eyes, but Zheng Shuyan spoke up. “Mr. Yuan, is it? I am Wen Ya’s college friend and am now an orthopedician under Third Master Yuan’s payroll!”

Zheng Shuyan’s words were neither condescending nor humble, his tones were cool, exuding a hint of tranquility in his behavior.

It could be that he was a doctor and had trained to carry that composure, Yuan Zhe could not help but be stifled by the man. He had wanted to look for something to blame Wen Ya, but now his attention was wholly focused on this man.

“Oh? Is that so? Little Ya was crying because she met an old friend?” Yuan Zhe sat beside Wen Ya and placed a hand on Wen Ya’s shoulder. She was pulled into his arms as he placed his other hand onto her injured leg. Putting a little more force, Wen Ya squealed painfully as her tears threatened to stream down her cheeks again!

Zheng Shuyan held his fist tight. His veins popped and he snorted coldly. “Wen Ya was just telling me that her injury was because she fell. I checked it. How much strength would you need to hurt yourself like this?”

Zheng Shuyan paused as he observed Yuan Zhe’s expression before he continued, “I think Third Master Yuan must have trusted me enough to send me here, so I won’t spread the news that someone who married into the Yuan Family was suffering domestic abuse…”

“You!” Yuan Zhe’s face contorted into a furious barbarity. ‘This gutsy doctor dare threaten me!’

“Mr Yuan, don’t be too irritated. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything. After all, the second house of the Yuan Family is currently surrounded by unrest…”

Zheng Shuyan finished his words and looked at Wen Ya sadly. He said sadly, “Wen Ya, I’ll be back to check on your injury next time. Please take care of yourself.”

Wen Ya understood Zheng Shuyan’s unsaid comment. She nodded. “Thank you, Doctor Zheng!”

Zheng Shuyan took the tools he brought and told Yuan Zhe, “Mr Yuan, I shall take my leave!”

Yuan Zhe’s eyes were spitting venom as he watched while Zheng Shuyan walked away. He lowered his head and saw that his woman looked longing. A surge of resentment filled his heart as he choked Wen Ya’s chin. “Still yearning for him?”

Wen Ya’s gaze was chill and emotionless, she flashed him a condescending smile. “Yuan Zhe, your biggest weakness is your lack of confidence! He’s just a college friend, and this is your reaction? What, do you care about me or something? Compared to what you do outside, I think I’m pretty clean!”

Yuan Zhe had never seen Wen Ya behave this way. He gritted his teeth and threatened, “If you dare to cheat on me, I will let the Wen Family die without a grave to hold them!”

Hearing that, Wen Ya laughed maniacally. Yuan Zhe was startled by her laughter. After she had laughed enough, she wiped away the tears and spat out through gritted teeth, “Then I should thank you!”

“For so many years, I have tolerated a life not meant for humans or ghosts alike, that’s all because of Wen Family! You have ruined my whole life! You kept using Wen Family to threaten me, now let me tell you, I can’t wait for the day that you all died! If you torment me again, I will leak everything I’ve endured all these years to the public, so either the fish dies or the net splits!

Yuan Zhe looked at the crazed expression of the woman. He thought that the second house of Yuan Family was under plenty of strife at the moment, so it was not wise to fight the woman head-on.

He smirked. “Nice, your wings have matured! Good, I like a Mrs Yuan like this. How could I play a game that either the fish dies or the net splits? Didn’t our game just start?”

Saying that, Yuan Zhe carried Wen Ya in his arms and sprinted upstairs into the bedroom on the second floor.

Wen Ya could definitely see the lust in his eyes. The weak woman closed her eyes, surrendering to her fate…

Mu Chenyan could no longer stifle her voice, a low moan was let loose uncontrollably from her throat…
