How could she ever forget him?
An Nuan gazed at Ye Jinghuai.
She watched him standing before her, within reach, yet seeming so distant.
"One minute left," Gu Yan Sheng reminded them from the side.
He seemed satisfied with this reunion that felt like a parting between life and death for the two of them.
He wanted to see An Nuan and Ye Jinghuai unable to be together, even if they loved each other.
He wanted to torment them, madly, torment!
"Go back soon," Ye Jinghuai urged.
With one minute remaining.
Urging her to go back soon.
There was a sense that he had truly given up.
An Nuan's vision blurred.
She knew that Ye Jinghuai did not want her to see him in such a wretched state.
She bit her lip, turning to leave.
"Wait." Gu Yan Sheng suddenly called out to her.
An Nuan looked at Gu Yan Sheng coldly.
Gu Yan Sheng approached An Nuan and said to Ye Jinghuai, "Miss An is so beautiful. Without Ye Jinghuai, Miss An can still have many prospects."
An Nuan understood Gu Yan Sheng's intention.
Deliberately trying to provoke Ye Jinghuai.
This man's repulsiveness had truly reached the point of madness.
"Come, show Ye Jinghuai how attractive your body is to men," Gu Yan Sheng said to An Nuan in a lewd manner.
An Nuan tightly bit her lip.
"Aren't you husband and wife?" Gu Yan Sheng asked, seeing An Nuan motionless.
At that moment, she even clutched her clothes tightly.
"As husband and wife, haven't you seen everything already? Why so shy?" Gu Yan Sheng mocked.
With a hint of smugness.
That sense of being able to toy with An Nuan and Ye Jinghuai at his will.
Visibly indulging in pleasure.
For so long.
Ever since An Nuan married this man Ye Jinghuai, he had been suppressed by them, bottling up his frustration until now.
Finally.
He could indulge in tormenting them so brazenly.
Finally.
He could retaliate, making their lives a living hell!
"It's understandable to be a little awkward after not seeing each other for a month," Gu Yan Sheng continued his staged act.
An Nuan stared fiercely at Gu Yan Sheng, fully aware of this man's tricks.
Regarding An Nuan's perceptiveness.
Gu Yan Sheng knew as well.
But what could An Nuan do even if she saw through him?!
Did she think she could still resist?!
From now on, killing her and Ye Jinghuai would be as easy as squashing an ant.
Gu Yan Sheng said, "Let me help you."
"Gu Yan Sheng!" An Nuan finally couldn't hold back her outburst.
The memory of Gu Yan Sheng killing her in her previous life, the torment he inflicted on her then, combined with his deliberate insults now – all of it made her feel like she wanted to go down together with him.
A part of her didn't want to implicate Ye Jinghuai in her death.
Her eyes were bloodshot.
Gu Yan Sheng reveled in what he saw.
An Nuan had finally reached this point.
Recalling how she had publicly humiliated him at their wedding banquet.
Recalling how she had repeatedly made him suffer disgrace in the business world.
At last.
The tables had turned.
Finally, it was his turn to torment them to his heart's content.
Just thinking about it made his blood boil with excitement.
Gu Yan Sheng's face, distorted with excitement, loomed larger and larger before An Nuan.
She clutched her coat tightly.
Yet the difference in strength between a woman and a man meant An Nuan could not stop any of Gu Yan Sheng's actions.
So in that moment, with one forceful tug from Gu Yan Sheng, An Nuan's coat was violently stripped off.
Once removed.
Even in the dim light, the bite marks on An Nuan's neck were clearly visible, red and purple bruises.
Ye Jinghuai stood not far away.
Fists clenched.
Eyes fierce.
Gu Yan Sheng was pleased with his handiwork, staring at the bite mark as he said in a repulsive voice, "Did it hurt?"
An Nuan truly wanted to kill Gu Yan Sheng.
Truly wanted to, with a thousand cuts, no, ten thousand!
"I should have been gentler," Gu Yan Sheng said with feigned regret, his eyes filled with smugness.
He reached towards An Nuan's neck.
An Nuan clearly recoiled slightly.
But Gu Yan Sheng forcefully restrained her.
An Nuan was immobilized.
Her gaze fixed fiercely on Gu Yan Sheng.
Gu Yan Sheng didn't care.
In fact, the more distraught An Nuan became, the more pleasure he derived.
He said, "Let me blow on it."
That repulsive voice, intended to make An Nuan nauseous, sounded directly in her ear.
She expected Gu Yan Sheng to do anything unimaginable, but she truly didn't expect him to deliberately humiliate her in front of Ye Jinghuai.
She could accept anything Gu Yan Sheng did.
But she couldn't accept Ye Jinghuai watching helplessly.
She didn't care about physical matters.
But she... couldn't bear Ye Jinghuai's sadness.
The anger she suppressed...
In that moment, she didn't resist further.
She would rather have Ye Jinghuai think she was a willing participant.
Than have him see her distress.
She was distressed.
He would be even more distressed.
But ultimately.
Ye Jinghuai was still Ye Jinghuai.
Always the man who would shield her with his life, no matter what happened.
So in the moment when Gu Yan Sheng's lips neared her neck.
Ye Jinghuai swiftly moved to An Nuan's side, using all his strength to kick Gu Yan Sheng away, fiercely shielding An Nuan in his embrace.
His speed was so rapid.
Both An Nuan and Gu Yan Sheng were caught off guard.
In the moment he realized what happened, Gu Yan Sheng was briefly startled.
How could Ye Jinghuai, in his broken state, still muster such tremendous force?
After being kicked by Ye Jinghuai, Gu Yan Sheng could barely stand for two seconds.
The pain made his body convulse.
This man...
He had assumed Ye Jinghuai's fighting ability was zero after he had people deliberately beat and torment him for a month, without the slightest resistance.
Moreover, Ye Jinghuai had a severe stomach condition.
Of course, Gu Yan Sheng only learned of this after Ye Jinghuai was imprisoned!
He had arranged for Ye Jinghuai to receive only one meal a day in prison to keep him alive, but this caused Ye Jinghuai's stomach condition to relapse, often resulting in bloody vomiting.
His body was nearly shattered to the extreme.
Gu Yan Sheng never imagined that Ye Jinghuai, in such a state, would still be capable of this sudden outburst.
Gu Yan Sheng suppressed his pain.
Feigning composure as he stood upright.
It was all an act.
Everything Ye Jinghuai was showing now, was an act.
In this situation.
Did he really think he could still be afraid of them?
Gu Yan Sheng stepped forward.
Observing the two of them tightly embraced.
Watching Ye Jinghuai shield An Nuan with his body, completely enclosing her.
He let out a cold laugh.
So, he really did mind An Nuan being so intimate with other men!
