An Ruo knew what he meant, and she glared at him with teeth clenched in rage, "Tang Yuchen, don’t make me hate you even more! I don’t want to become a tool for your gratification!"
The man’s face suddenly darkened, and he pinched her chin, speaking angrily, "In your eyes, is that all I am to you? An Ruo, don’t you understand my feelings for you yet?"
If it weren’t love, why would it have to be you?
If it weren’t love, why would I desire you so much...
An Ruo scoffed, "I don’t understand. All I know is, I hate your touch, and to me, I’m just a tool for you to vent!"
How could he talk about herself like that...
Tang Yuchen felt a pang of pain in his heart. He looked deeply into her eyes, pressed his lips together, said nothing, and carried her to the bathroom.
An Ruo thought he still wouldn’t leave her alone, she felt angry, loathsome, but he merely helped her bathe, then carried her back to the bed, pulled over the blanket and covered her body.
"Alright, I won’t touch you, don’t be so angry. Close your eyes and rest for a while," he said as he gently patted her back and tenderly kissed the corner of her mouth.
An Ruo coldly turned her head away and rolled over to face away from him.
The man behind her tried to please her, "We’re going out tomorrow, aren’t we? Where do you want to go? Tell me in advance."
"Don’t know!" she responded irritably.
"Then think about it, and tell me tomorrow."
Seeing that she had closed her eyes and fallen asleep, Tang Yuchen finally left the bedroom to work in his study. Overall, his mood was still very happy.
Today he had taken a successful step forward. In the future, he would continue working hard, slowly conquering her heart. He believed that, sooner or later, she would fall in love with him again.
The night arrived quickly, and Tang Yuchen lay in bed with An Ruo in his arms, sleeping contentedly.
But An Ruo couldn’t sleep, thinking about the next day. She was still very nervous.
Could Yun Feiyang really take her away tomorrow?
Was he really confident about it?
Despite worrying that the plan might fail, she couldn’t resist the temptation to escape.
Being able to escape from Tang Yuchen, starting a new life, away from all the pain, was something she desperately longed for.
She wanted to fight for herself, regardless of the outcome, she didn’t want to miss the chance.
Daylight came, and An Ruo naturally opened her eyes, the man beside her also woke up.
He rolled her over and lazily kissed her lips, "Baby, did you sleep well last night?"
An Ruo coldly pushed him away, intending to get out of bed.
He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and breathed into her ear, asking with a smile, "Where shall we go today? Have you decided?"
"I want to go alone," she said indifferently.
Tang Yuchen wasn’t angry; he gently rocked her body in his arms, his voice carrying a hint of a whine, "We agreed to go together, you can’t leave me behind to go have fun on your own."
It looked like he wouldn’t let her go out alone no matter what.
"Whatever you want!" An Ruo pushed his body away and went to the bathroom.
The man watched her retreating figure and smiled slightly; her resistance to him didn’t seem so severe anymore.
After breakfast, An Ruo was conflicted about whether to go out or not.
The note only told her to bring Tang Yuchen to the beach, it didn’t specify a time; she didn’t know when would be appropriate to go.
Seeing her distracted, Tang Yuchen grabbed her hand and led her outside, "Let’s go now."
Once in the car, the man asked where she wanted to go, she thought for a moment and said, "The beach."
