Moments before, as she was halfway between dreamland and reality, she had subconsciously felt someone coming near to her. She had instinctually jolted awake and protests had left Xu Weilai's mouth before she could stop to think.
She had thought that she might be able to escape his torment that night, but it seemed that even now, he wasn't willing to let her off easy.
After some time, Gu Yu pursed his lips and sneered. With dark eyes, he glared at her callously. His lips curled up, and his words to her were cold. "Xu Weilai, you overestimate your self-worth! Even if you offered up your body to me, I wouldn't take it!"
With that, he got out of bed abruptly and strode to the coatroom. He emerged after changing his clothes and slammed the door as he left.
Xu Weilai hugged her blanket and sat there in stunned silence. Gu Yu's words kept replaying in her ears, and her heart went numb with pain. She had never felt so miserable before.
