Due to Chenxing's reluctance to cooperate, she plunged into a state of grogginess for the following few days.
She made up her mind to leave, yet Gu Shaocheng imposed a full-on, 24-hour surveillance regime: no blind spots, no room to breathe. She was not alone even when attending lessons during the day. A female bodyguard would follow her into the restroom. At night, Gu Shaocheng would fall asleep with his arm around her.
Such confinement was akin to the experience of a prisoner. He maintained this treatment as long as she harbored the intention to leave. Chenxing was fully aware of this, hence, despite brimming with a deep resentment, she felt helplessly trapped.
But truth be told, her life was very good under his control.
In the Gu residence, everyone cherished her like the most precious gem.
One could argue that Gu Shaocheng showered her with an unprecedented level of affection.
Yet, to her, all this affection only left a bitter taste.
