Gu Yan Sheng laughed.
He was very satisfied looking at the red marks on An Nuan's neck, and said, "An Nuan, what do you think Ye Jinghuai will think when he sees this?!"
"So is that enough?" An Nuan remained impassive.
As if she felt no pain, and had no emotions whatsoever.
Gu Yan Sheng knew that An Nuan was just enduring.
He felt exhilarated being able to torment this woman.
He moved closer to An Nuan's body.
And began searching her.
An Nuan gritted her teeth.
She knew very well that Gu Yan Sheng was searching her body to see if she had hidden anything, like a hidden camera or voice recorder.
After a while.
After confirming that An Nuan had nothing on her, Gu Yan Sheng let her go and turned to unlock the large door with a key.
As An Nuan crouched down to pick up the clothes she had just taken off, about to put them back on.
Gu Yan Sheng directly threw her clothes out, "If you put them on, how will Ye Jinghuai see the bite marks on your body?"
An Nuan gritted her teeth, "But I'll be cold!"
"Cold?" Gu Yan Sheng laughed.
He suddenly picked up the coat from the ground, checked again to make sure there was nothing inside, then took her phone out of the coat pocket and threw it on the ground. He then tossed the coat back to An Nuan, "Wear it!"
An Nuan shot Gu Yan Sheng a stern look.
She put the coat on.
No matter what.
She didn't want Ye Jinghuai to see her in such a sorry state, she was afraid he would worry.
The large door finally opened.
In the windowless prison cell, on a hard bed, Ye Jinghuai was leaning against the wall, his face devoid of any emotion. Even when the door opened, he didn't turn his head to look.
It seemed he wasn't interested.
An Nuan's eyes instantly turned red.
At that moment, she bit her lip hard, truly afraid that she would burst into tears.
She had imagined Ye Jinghuai in all sorts of states -
Imagined him being despondent, unkempt, even emaciated.
But she didn't expect.
For Ye Jinghuai to be this thin.
It had only been a month.
His face looked like it had only a layer of skin left, tautly wrapped around his rigid facial features. His thin clothes hung loosely on his frame.
And now he sat there, staring blankly ahead, as if he didn't exist in this world.
"What's this, after finally meeting, you have nothing to say?" Gu Yan Sheng taunted, seeing An Nuan's devastated look.
An Nuan's throat moved slightly.
At that moment, Ye Jinghuai heard Gu Yan Sheng's voice and turned his head.
As he turned, he saw An Nuan.
The two looked straight at each other.
An Nuan's eyes instantly turned red.
Tears streamed down uncontrollably.
She really didn't want to cry.
She was afraid that if she cried, it would just make Ye Jinghuai feel worse.
But she really didn't expect Ye Jinghuai to become like this...
To become so haggard and frail.
The once high and mighty playboy, the man who spent money like water, was now in such dire straits, confined to this cold and dilapidated place.
"Don't cry." Ye Jinghuai said.
His voice was clearly hoarse, almost indistinguishable.
But An Nuan's tears fell even harder.
Ye Jinghuai got off the hard bed.
He took one step at a time towards her.
An Nuan just watched him approach her step by step.
She really wanted, really wanted to just rush into Ye Jinghuai's embrace. She felt like his whole body was so cold, like an icy chill surrounded him. She wanted to use all the warmth from her own body to warm him up...
"Bang!"
An Nuan was startled.
She glared angrily at Gu Yan Sheng.
As Ye Jinghuai approached, Gu Yan Sheng suddenly kicked him hard in the stomach.
No telling how much force he used.
Ye Jinghuai was directly knocked to the ground by Gu Yan Sheng's kick.
As he fell, Ye Jinghuai violently coughed.
As if a vital organ had been injured, he couldn't stop coughing, though he seemed to be trying to suppress it. Finally, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Ye Jinghuai!" An Nuan was truly terrified by Ye Jinghuai's state.
How could he be coughing up blood?
A healthy person, how could he cough up blood just from one kick?
Just as An Nuan was about to run over, Gu Yan Sheng forcefully pulled her back, stopping her.
"Let me go!" An Nuan shouted furiously.
"Yell again and I'll kick him to death!" Gu Yan Sheng threatened.
An Nuan looked at Gu Yan Sheng with rage.
She really wished she could stab him to death right then and there!
Just like how he had stabbed her to death once before!
"I'm fine." Ye Jinghuai's calm voice sounded.
He stood up from the ground.
Such a tall man, yet Gu Yan Sheng's one kick had knocked him to the floor.
She remembered Ye Jinghuai being resilient.
What exactly had happened to make his body become so frail and weak?
An Nuan tried to compose herself.
She knew very well that the more out of control she became, the more satisfaction Gu Yan Sheng would get, and the more tricks he would play.
"Settled down?" Gu Yan Sheng smiled as he saw An Nuan calm down. "Now, I'll give you 5 minutes."
An Nuan glared at Gu Yan Sheng.
"Starting now!" Gu Yan Sheng said coldly.
With no intention of leaving.
An Nuan had expected that Gu Yan Sheng wouldn't let them meet alone.
She didn't waste any time either.
5 minutes, it really was just 5 minutes.
She looked straight at Ye Jinghuai.
As she looked at him, her eyes reddened again.
She lowered her head slightly and said, "Are you okay?"
"Mmm." Ye Jinghuai responded.
"I will help you find evidence." An Nuan said, "I believe you didn't do this."
Ye Jinghuai smiled faintly.
He didn't directly answer An Nuan, nor did he give her an affirmative look.
Gu Yan Sheng was also watching very closely.
He actually also wanted to know if there was any possibility of Ye Jinghuai's crime being overturned this time.
Ye Jinghuai suddenly said, "Nuan Nuan, the new year is coming soon."
An Nuan paused, then slowly nodded.
She really didn't want their first new year together to be spent like this.
"After the new year passes, it will be my birthday." Ye Jinghuai said quietly.
"Mmm." An Nuan knew.
Ye Jinghuai's birthday was January 18th.
She remembered it very clearly.
"I thought I would celebrate my birthday with you..." Ye Jinghuai trailed off.
An Nuan's eyes turned completely red.
Seeing Ye Jinghuai's current state, she really couldn't imagine what it would feel like for him to spend his birthday alone in prison.
"I'm sorry, I let you down." Ye Jinghuai suddenly apologized.
An Nuan shook her head, over and over.
He had never let her down.
Without him.
She might never muster the courage to love anyone else in this lifetime.
She was grateful.
In this reincarnated life, besides avenging past grievances, she was also able to experience love again.
She was grateful that in this life, her life was so perfect.
Her tears fell.
She said, "Ye Jinghuai, no matter how long it takes, I will wait for you."
Meaning that.
Even if he was sentenced, she would wait for him to be released.
"Silly girl." Ye Jinghuai's gentle voice said, "If there really comes a day like that, learn to forget me, and then, love yourself well."
