Seeing Gu Xiyan's dazed expression, Shang Yi thought he had hit the nail on her inner thoughts. A flame of anger burned in his chest. His eyes revealed a fierce and ruthless color. Along with this, his actions also became violent. "You want to be with that man? I'm telling you, unless I die, it's absolutely impossible."

  Gu Xiyan had not yet recovered from Shang Yi's icy words when he began to violently tear at her clothes, not even bothering to fully remove the fabric covering her upper body before yanking down her skirt in a fit of rage. He hastily shed his own clothing and with one large hand moving downwards, forced her legs apart. His pent-up passion instantly overwhelmed her delicate flesh.

  No honey-like assistance. Gu Xiyan was in so much pain that she bent down, but was pulled up by Shang Ke again.

  "No... it hurts..." Tears welled up in Gu Xiyan's eyes. Shang Qi's lips curled into a bloodthirsty arc, seemingly very pleased with Gu Xiyan's painful appearance.

  Do you want to go to hell? So, if I die, you'll have to accompany me. Pain. What's a little pain anyway? When you're saying those words that show you don't care about me with a face full of indifference... did you ever think that I'm also human? I can also feel pain.

  "If I could, I'd rather you hadn't come back with me that year. If I could, I'd be willing to let you fend for yourself now." It's better than letting you hurt me like this.

  Shang Yi's lips moved to Gu Xiyan's ear, and the words he spoke made Gu Xiyan's pain even more unbearable. So, did he regret knowing her? So, did he regret being so good to her before? Gu Xiyan stubbornly refused to let tears fall, but the shattered glint in her eyes escaped her control, falling silently.

  "Did you ever like me?" The upper half of her clothes had also been stripped off by the man. Gu Xiyan suddenly wrapped her arms around Shang Qi's waist and abdomen, asking in a daze-like tone. Her small face was scrunched up at this moment. Because he was now ravaging her body without any mercy. The beautiful union they once shared had now become a kind of humiliating possession.

  "I don't like you..." Shang Qi Yun took advantage of the momentum to hold Gu Xi Yan even tighter. Since she had come to him herself, he didn't have any reason to be polite. After walking a few steps while holding Gu Xi Yan, Shang Qi Yun pressed her against the wall. The rhythm of his movements became faster and more intense, which made Gu Xi Yan feel a surge of emotions amidst her discomfort.

  But what he said in the midst of joy was like a heavy hammer that ruthlessly struck Gu Xiyan's heart. I don't...like you...

  "Really, you never liked me at all? Not even a little bit?" Gu Xiuyan didn't know why she still wanted to foolishly throw her dignity and pride in front of him for him to trample on. Maybe it was just that she couldn't bear the thought. Gu Xiuyan comforted herself with the fact that he had been so good to her before.

  Shang Yi's eyes lit up when he heard Gu Xiyan bring up this topic again. A hint of hesitation flashed across his mind, but his tone remained cold and detached. "Yes... I liked it... your body..."

  It's actually not about liking her or not, he just... loves her. Shang Qi doesn't want to admit this fact, but his current behavior isn't that of a jealous person?

  Bitterness in his heart. Suddenly, Shang Yi sealed Gu Xiyan's lips with a kiss. He found that he was desperately in love with kissing her lips. Every time he covered her lips, he had an irresistible feeling.

  Jin Yu's eyes were not enough, still not enough, Shang Qi's heart was born with a desire to lock her in his own side forever, and merge her into his own flesh and blood obsession.

  Gu Xiyan cried uncontrollably in Shang Yi's arms, shedding tears she didn't know where they came from. She didn't doubt that she might just cry herself to death like this.

  Tears streamed down Gu Xiyan's powdered cheek and flowed to the place where their lips met. The cool, cold water droplets slid into both of their mouths. A rough, thick palm suddenly moved to Gu Xiyan's eye corner. "Don't cry. It hurts."

  Don't cry anymore. I don't want you to cry. Be with me. Is it really that painful for you? Alas, your tears are bitter. Very bitter. Very bitter...

  Gu Xiyan's eyelashes fluttered. A hint of awkwardness flashed across her pupils. Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from outside the door. Gu Xiyan's heart skipped a beat. She was about to push away the man in front of her. But at that moment, the man forcefully injected a warm and hot surge into her body.

  "Don't do this. Not today..." Gu Xiyan wanted to remind him that today wasn't a safe day. But the man was deliberately ignoring her, how could he possibly heed Gu Xiyan's refusal?

  "Dad, Mom. Yan'er is hungry. Are you guys done yet? Dad..." The little guy twisted the doorknob, but found that the door was locked and couldn't be opened from the outside at all.

  Gu Xiyan's legs contracted tightly in a flurry, her chest heaving up and down. The delicate jade peaks on her chest undulated with the movement. Shang Yi's eyes suddenly deepened with a hint of mystery.

  "Yan'er... uh..." Gu Xiyuan thought to tell the little maid to wait a moment. But Shang Qi just happened to lean down and pin her against one side of the snowy softness, with one large palm covering the other side of her curves, massaging them lightly or heavily.

  "Don't be like this, Yan'er..." The daughter was just outside. Gu Xiyan couldn't care about the pain at this moment. She only felt extremely embarrassed. Although there was a door blocking them, she still had a feeling of being exposed under the scorching sun.

  "Yan'er, why don't you go down first? Dad and your mom will be right down." Shang Yi couldn't help but love the hesitant look on Gu Xiyan's face at this moment. He had thought about teasing her some more, but was also afraid that she would get too flustered and do something she shouldn't.

  The little girl touched her belly, rolled her eyes in frustration and thought "what kind of parents are these?" But she still obediently went downstairs. She had just secretly seen the big prawns in the kitchen. She'd better go downstairs to wait for dinner instead.

  Can't hear any movement from Xiao Yatou anymore. Shanggui suddenly burst out laughing at Gu Xiyen. "Look at you, useless. Let's continue."

  Gu Xiyan's heart suddenly relaxed. The feeling of shame and humiliation surged up to her head. "Let me go, don't touch me..."

  Gu Xiyan was about to push away Shang Yi Qi, but he didn't give her the chance. Don't touch her. Don't even think about it.

  "You're actually very passionate, but it doesn't feel like it. You need me... You're holding on too tightly." Shang Xi retorted with a hint of implication before leaning in again.

  Gu Xiyan was once again rejected by Shang Qi, who touched her leg and made her want to open them up. However, Shang Qi patted her buttocks and pressed her firmly against himself.

  "Don't touch me... dirty..." Gu Xiyan shook her small head, her eyes clearly written with rejection. No more, no more. Didn't you say you didn't like me? Didn't you like that woman? How can you like one woman and still do this kind of thing with another woman? Oh right, you said it yourself. You just want my body, that's all. The body you like...

  You can have your conditions. Many beautiful women will be unable to find one... I really... cannot accept it. You just like my body...

  "If you need to, go find another woman then. I don't mind..." Gu Xiyan hid the intense pain in her heart and spoke seriously to Shang Yue. Find another woman, He Yu or someone else, it's all up to you.

  "What did you say?" The temperature in the room dropped by ten degrees instantly. His voice was cold and menacing, as if it came from the depths of hell. "You want me to go find another woman."

  "If you need a bed companion, you can go outside and find another woman. Don't worry, as long as our husband-and-wife relationship is still in one day, I will definitely help you keep the secret from Mom and Dad. You don't have to worry." Gu Xiyan thought she was being considerate of him, but she never expected that her tolerance and retreat would make him think she didn't care about him at all.

  "Gu Xiyan, I'm telling you. From now on, you're my exclusive bed partner. As for what you said about finding another woman, I'll consider it. You don't have to worry about that anymore." His body cooled down and Shang Qi no longer had the mood to possess her. He withdrew from her body and picked up his clothes from the ground, putting them on one by one.

  Huh. So this is his wife? How does he feel? She doesn't seem like his wife at all, but rather a stranger.

  After Shang Yi stormed out of the door in a rage, Gu Xiyan looked at the direction of the door, stretched out her hand, and smiled dazedly.

  They're finally done playing around. From now on, he'll be with that woman, right? She thought to herself, when will he ask her for a divorce? Tonight? Tomorrow? A week later? A month later?

  At this time, Gu Xiyan could never have imagined that one day, it would be her who would propose a divorce, not him.

  After Gu Xiyan went downstairs, Shang Yi had already arranged all the dishes on the dinner table.

  "Mom, come and eat big shrimp." The little girl had already put a few peeled shrimps in her bowl. Seeing Gu Xiyan appear, the little guy reluctantly picked up two processed shrimps and put them into Gu Xiyan's bowl.

  She smiled slightly, pulled up a chair and sat down. She raised an eyebrow, without a hint of worry on her face. "Yan'er is so good, Yan'er is really good to Mommy."

  "Really?" The little one couldn't take the praise. She was pleased with herself when praised. She added two more shrimps to Gu Xiyan's plate. The little girl said seriously, "Mommy, these were all peeled by Yan'er. Mommy, eat some more." The little girl gave Shang Yue a handful of unpeeled shrimp and said, "Daddy, Daddy is a man, so Daddy should peel the shrimp for Yan'er and Mommy."

  Shang Yiqi didn't even glance at Gu Xian, but instead softened his expression as he looked at the little girl. Shang Yiqi's technique of peeling shells was very skilled. Before long, a shrimp meat appeared in the little girl's bowl.

  "Dad, why don't you peel it for Mom? She's your wife, after all." The little girl widened her eyes in surprise because her father ignored her mother's behavior.
