It was late at night and the weather was chilly.

From time to time, the sounds of a clock ticking on the wall could be heard. They were stifling and depressing.

It was not known how much time had passed. Someone on the bed crooned and gradually opened her eyes.

A luxurious and unfamiliar room came into her view.

… Where was she?

Gu Shinian surveyed the surroundings in a daze.

She paused her eyes at something just after a few seconds.

In the dark room, on the sofa, in front of the floor-to-ceiling curtains, a man with a slim and slender figure was sitting there gracefully.

When their eyes met, Gu Shinian’s dazed expression gradually turned into shock and trepidation.

“It’s… It’s you!”

She screamed and sat up frantically.

Qin Muchen!

It was actually Qin Muchen!

The thin lips of the man on the sofa curled upwards. Like a shattered crystal, his smile was stunning but cruel. “Gu Shinian, it’s been a long time since we met.”

Yes.

It had been a long time!

They had not seen each other for three years!

Since that incident, they had not seen each other!

Suddenly, Gu Shinian felt a chill down her spine. Bit by bit, the colors on her face drained and her forehead broke out in delicate beads of cold sweat.

She could hear heavy footsteps approaching her.

A dark shadow shrouded her. Qin Muchen had walked to the side of the bed, bent down and leaned over her.

His pair of deep and profound eyes faintly exuded a sinister and chilling aura. When his lips moved, his voice was even colder than moonlight.

“Where is my child?”

Three years ago, she had suddenly disappeared when she was pregnant.

Her whereabouts were unknown to him for the whole of those three years.

Child…

Their child…

Her mind was cruelly cast back to the bloody memories…

Gu Shinian paused her train of thought for a moment. She then closed her eyes and replied in a quiet and mechanical manner, “It’s gone.”

Qin Muchen’s expression changed. “What do you mean?”

Gu Shinian took a deep breath. After regaining her composure from overwhelming and complicated emotions, she then had the courage to expose the deepest trauma in her heart in a calm manner.

“I said, the child is gone.”

Just as she finished her words, she could feel a gust of wind by her ears. In the next moment, a deafening sound could be heard from behind her. He had smashed his fist on her pillow, right next to her head and left a mark.

Gu Shinian bit her lips in silence. There was a flash of panic and nervousness in her eyes.

“How did it happen?” Qin Muchen’s expression instantly turned cold. Even the aura he emitted was cold and pervasive vibes. “Speak! What happened to my child?!”

Each word sounded like the most peaceful form of violence.

Each word exposed her deepest scar.

Gnashing her teeth, Gu Shinian told him in clear and crisp voice, “I aborted it.”

In that split second, Qin Muchen broke down emotionally and lost all of his sanity.

There was an obvious flash of rage in his eyes. Suddenly, his long and slender fingers gripped her neck.

“You went for an abortion?”

“You actually dared to!”

Qin Muchen’s pupils constricted violently, seemingly trying to suppress his rage with all his might. He also gradually tightened his hold on Gu Shinian’s neck. One could clearly sense the sinister and chilling anger emanating from his body.

Gu Shinian could only feel her breathing getting weaker and weaker. Just as she was about to die from suffocation, the force that was restraining her neck suddenly relaxed.

Her body fell onto the bed.

However, before she could recover from her senses, the clothes on her body had been ripped off by a strong force.

“Er…”

Her panties were torn off. Qin Muchen pinned her underneath him and she could not move at all. He forcefully pried open both her legs and penetrated her deeply. It was rough and violent.

Gu Shinian instantly turned pale and screamed in pain.
