Having lived in the Royal View Garden for two months, Fu Beichen was yet to make his appearance.
Gu Nanyu thought, perhaps he had erection problems and only made her his lover to uphold his reputation.
While other people feigned themselves to impress, he found himself a lover to prove that he was not impotent.
Of course, this was only Gu Nanyu's surmises.
Later on, Gu Nanyu heard from the villa's servants that Fu Beichen's parents had fallen sick. He had been staying in his ancestral home to tend his parents.
After about two more months later, news about the demise of Fu Beichen's father, Old Minister Fu, reached the Royal View Garden.
Gu Nanyu assumed that Fu Beichen would be busy for quite a while again.
However, she did not expect him to return that very night.
Gu Nanyu was accompanying Gu Xize when Fu Beichen entered. His eyes were red. He completely disregarded Gu Xize's presence and dragged Gu Nanyu away with much force.
Gu Xize grasped Gu Nanyu's hand tight, glancing at Fu Beichen with fear in his eyes.
Gu Nanyu was yet to understand Fu Beichen's temperament at that time. Nevertheless, she did not want to frighten Gu Xize, so she soothed him in a gentle voice.
She had only comforted him with a few sentences when Fu Beichen called for the servants to bring Gu Xize away.
Gu Xize had just been chased out when Fu Beichen pressed Gu Nanyu onto the table beside them. Without a single warning, he tore away her skirt.
In a dry and rough situation, the decade-long torment began.
Pain.
Aside from this feeling, Gu Nanyu could feel nothing else.
Moreover, it seemed that Gu Beichen only wanted her in pain, leaving patched red traces and distinct bite marks…
Stripped of strength, when she was lying on the Persian rug in the living room, Fu Beichen was holding a glass of red wine, staring at her condescendingly.
"He's free but you must live on."
Ice-cold, cruel.
These words seemed to be the understatements of his cold-bloodedness at that time.
Gu Nanyu's every movement would spike aches all over her body.
Her body especially a certain body part was hurting much more when compared to her first time.
As she listened to Fu Beichen's words, Gu Nanyu felt somewhat muddleheaded.
He?
Who is he?
She asked this aloud, but Fu Beichen looked at her in disdain and contempt as he downed the wine in the glass.
Many years later, Gu Nanyu had forgotten about this.
She merely categorized Fu Beichen in the ranks of perverts. She had never met such a wild man before him.
She did not know why she dreamed of him this time.
When she woke up the next day, Gu Nanyu felt as if the pain had only freshly occurred yesterday. Recalling Fu Beichen's cold-bloodedness back then, she could not help but shudder.
She should not contemplate matters that she could not understand. For now, she had to deal with this terrible mess, the Gu family.
Gu Nanyu could clearly remember that the National College Entrance Examination was about to start.
Grandpa had once promised that he would allow her to intern in the company if she could enroll herself in A University in Beijing.
To reseize whatever that had belonged to her father, she had to first join the company, then nibble it bit by bit.
As for Fu Beichen, she would sort him out one day.
She officially started school after the short holiday of the Tomb Sweeping Day.
On this morning, Gu Nanyu had breakfast and pushed her bicycle out of the villa. Just as she was about to cycle and leave, she saw Gu Yaxi tugging at Gu Dongxue's arm.
Gu Nanyu raised her brows. It seemed that the sun rose from the west today.
Usually, Gu Dongxue disdained riding a bicycle to school because it was humiliating. She would pester, butter up, and flatter Gu Yaxi so that she could ride the latter's car to school.
After all, Gu Yaxi had her own chauffeur to pick her up and drop her off. The treatment she received was very different from what they had.
Unexpectedly, the roles were reversed today. Gu Yaxi was actually holding Gu Dongxue's hand so intimately.
