Ye ZhengYu hugged Huo Yao tightly as if he wanted to meld her into his body.
Huo Yao let him do whatever he wanted.
Ye ZhengYu picked her up and headed towards the bed when he really couldn't stand it anymore.
Throwing her lightly onto the bed, he pressed onto her. "Won't you regret it afterward?"
As he asked, he started to nibble her soft earlobe. She arched in his arm. "No."
Ye ZhengYu saw her reaction, his eyes darkening even more.
He trailed down, kissing her from the earlobe to her beautiful jade-like neck, leaving dense love marks.
Huo Yao felt strange from this. She let out a muffled sound but still didn't say anything.
Ye ZhengYu noticed her obedient look, allowing him to do whatever he wanted. His mood complicated.
He knew her temperament was wild, and she was not obedient at all, but she never showed it in front of him.
He bit her even harder. "Then don't regret it, Huo Yao," he said as he pressed into her.
After a while, he stopped, looked at her. She didn't cry at all, but he knew it was her first time. "Huo Yao, do you like me, even a little bit?"
He stared at her for any kind of reaction but only found a dazed look with empty eyes. He bullied her even more...
Until midnight, Ye ZhengYu's room light was on. Ye ZhengYu carried the semiconscious Huo Yao into the washroom for a shower. After that, he went to sleep with her in his arms.
Early in the morning, Ye ZhengYu opened his eyes and looked at the sleeping girl beside him.
When sleeping, her face looked less cold and more gentle than her usual, almost expressionless face.
He hated the feeling of her being so strong. Couldn't she cry when he was hard on her? Couldn't she tell him to be gentle with her? All she did was frown.
In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and went gentle with her.
He traced her eyebrows gently, making her itch and wave her hand.
Ye ZhengYu smiled at her cute expression, but suddenly his face became a little ugly. How would he face this little girl later when she woke up?
As he was lost in thought, his phone rang.
Annoyed, he picked up his phone.
"What?"
"Boss, there is some problem with the batch of goods in Continent K. You have to handle it personally," his subordinate informed him respectfully.
"Okay, prepare the car; we will leave soon."
Ye ZhengYu looked reluctantly at the heartless girl in his arms. She wouldn't even call him when he wasn't here.
He leaned to kiss her, then stood up and went to the washroom.
After finishing tidying up, Ye ZhengYu came to call Huo Yao softly. In the end, he didn't get any response.
He sighed, realizing he had really hurt her. He leaned to kiss her again and whispered in her ear, "Little thing, remember to miss me," then turned to leave.
Before leaving, he instructed the butler to make some light porridge for her and to call a doctor for her if she needed.
...
Huo Yao woke up when it was already noon. She turned to look beside her, but it was empty, with no trace of warmth.
Apparently, the person beside her had left long before.
She didn't mind and slowly stood up. She felt some discomfort at first but behaved like nothing was wrong with her body.
It was always like this; she could never describe her pain. She only knew to accept it as normal.
Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at the dense marks on her body, letting the water run over her.
After the shower, she went out of her room to dress up.
Seeing her coming out of Ye ZhengYu's room, the young servant's face turned a little red.
"Miss, you woke up. Do you need to call a doctor?"
Huo Yao passed her. "No, bring me something to eat in my room. Thank you."
The servant looked at her retreating figure in a daze.
Miss Huo had always been polite, even when she had the privilege. She never bullied anyone in the house.
She always behaved as if she were a guest in this house, ready to leave at any time.
But today, she gave the feeling that she would disappear soon.
The servant stopped overthinking and went to bring food for Huo Yao.
Huo Yao finished her meal, picked up her bag, and went out.
She had repaid her favor to him the last time. She could leave this house now.
She was planning to leave the country for some time, so she needed to take care of some paperwork at her school, which would take over a week.
After finishing her work at school, on her way, she went to the old Ye mansion to meet old man Ye.
Seeing her coming, old man Ye smiled at her lovingly.
"Why did you suddenly remember this old man? Come here, try this new tea I bought."
Old man Ye poured a cup of tea, and Huo Yao took it with both hands.
After drinking, she put down the cup, stood up, and bowed to him.
"Thank you for all the tolerance and love you've shown me since last year, Grandpa. Now, I want to break off the engagement with Ye ZhengYu."
Old man Ye's hands trembled slightly, and he looked at her blankly.
After a long silence, he finally found his voice. "Yaoyao, did anyone bully you? You can tell Grandpa."
Huo Yao shook her head.
"Grandpa, I will leave in seven days. You don't have to think too much. Ye ZhengYu won't mind even if the engagement is broken."
She thought of something and said, "You can just tell outsiders that I was not good enough for Ye ZhengYu, and that's why you broke off the engagement. Nobody will talk about Ye ZhengYu's reputation."
She looked at the silent old man, waiting for his response.
Old man Ye could tell she was determined to break the engagement.
Old man Ye sighed. "Where will you go from here, to your brother's place?"
"No, I will leave the country for a few years."
"Why?"
"I have something to do." After that, she stood up again.
"Grandpa, I will tell you something I lied about before. I am not twenty but nineteen this year. I turned nineteen yesterday. Please forgive me."
She bowed again. Grandpa Ye was shocked again; he knew what had happened yesterday between her and Ye ZhengYu. The butler had informed him.
She was only ninteen, eight years younger than Ye ZhengYu, which meant yesterday...
Old man Ye couldn't remain calm anymore.
"Huo Yao, why did you help him yesterday? You are only nineteen."
Huo Yao only said two words. "Repaying favor."
Old man Ye's mind went blank. What favor?
Huo Yao told him that she was leaving and turned to leave the study.
Outside, she met Ye Nian nian, whose face was pale.
Seeing her come out, Ye Nian nian's lips trembled. "Huo Yao, are you leaving? "
