Gu Annan’s arms trapped her tightly in his embrace, and in the end, he even laughed a few times.
The phrase he had just thrown at those people, "in your dreams," sounded like a joke.
"Divorce, is that it?" he said, pinching her jaw, his lips by her ear, word by word. "Don’t even think about that kind of freedom."
She suddenly became scared and grabbed his hand. "Gu Annan, if I explain everything to you, would you believe me?"
Gu Annan looked down coldly at the woman who only at this moment became panicked and wanted to explain, his lips curling into a cruel smile.
"Do you want to explain that Bai Youchen is your cousin, or do you want to explain that you married me to take Jin’an back from Lu Jingtian’s hands?"
His words made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
The unrelenting heat on her body was unable to ease the bone-chilling coldness.
Her lips trembled, her wrist bones ached, but it felt as though they had lost all sensation.
Gu Annan knew everything; there was no need for her to explain.
"Seeing Jin’an not improving, seeing Lu Jingtian still obstructing everything, this marriage has been of no use, and now you want to escape?" he saw her acknowledgment, his eyes nearly bursting into flames, "Or do you think Bai Lingyun can give you what you want? Huh? Because he is Bai Youchen’s brother, and Bai Youchen can legally inherit the Ye Family’s fortune? Or..."
Lu Wanwan forcibly broke free from his grip and slapped him across the face with all her might.
The crisp, loud sound brought back the dead silence.
The room was left with only their breathing.
Lu Wanwan looked at the darkness and mockery in his eyes, her hand still trembling.
"Since you know everything, it’s no wonder explanations are unnecessary. Next time something happens, you don’t need to have someone follow me; you can ask me directly. Whatever you ask, I can answer," she said, her voice calm but slightly trembling. "If there’s nothing else you need to ask, I won’t disturb your rest."
Gu Annan suddenly pulled her back. "Where do you think you’re going?"
She scoffed, "To find Bai Lingyun, of course."
That statement immediately ignited his rage.
Especially seeing her body heat up, the abnormal flush on her face, she actually wanted to find another man.
As his words fell, her robe was forcefully torn open.
The man’s kiss was dominant, his biting almost abusive in its possession of her body.
She had not much strength left, the slap she had delivered earlier had drained her, and now she had no strength to struggle, so she simply did not struggle.
But no matter what he did, she couldn’t be stirred in the slightest.
Lu Wanwan opened her eyes wide and stared at the ceiling. There was only pain, nothing else.
Yet she didn’t even have the strength to feel the pain.
For the first time, she realized that even such matters were tied to emotions.
"Lu Wanwan!" Gu Annan gritted his teeth at the person on the bed, realizing she hadn’t shown the slightest bit of emotion or response from start to end, no matter how he tried to make her beg for mercy. She could restrain all her responses.
"Are you done?" she felt it end, frowned, and spoke hoarsely.
Gu Annan held her slender wrist, speaking with extreme self-mockery as if he didn’t recognize her. "That’s your answer!"
He let go of her, and finally slammed the bedroom door shut.
Lu Wanwan kept her eyes wide open; she had never felt this transaction to be so intolerable. Every second was torture, like a brutal punishment.
She had mistakenly thought it might be a mild aphrodisiac, but now she could confirm it wasn’t, for she felt nothing at all.
