Gu Yunting retracted his gaze, placed food on her plate, and said coldly, "Stop acting like you've been mistreated in the Gu family! Do you think being so thin you're just skin and bones is attractive?"
Ye Wan was too thin, frighteningly so. Her ribs were clearly visible, and the thought of it always made Gu Yunting agitated. He gruffly put more food on her plate.
Ye Wan's mind was still a mess, so she ate whatever he gave her until she was too full to eat anymore.
Gu Yunting then forced her to drink two bowls of chicken soup with ginseng before he finally stopped.
After the meal, Ye Wan tidied up the meal boxes. Gu Yunting sat on the sofa watching her busy herself. By the time she had finished her evening routine, the man still showed no signs of leaving.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Ye Wan couldn't help but ask.
Gu Yunting glared at her displeasedly.
"I take it back," Ye Wan replied, ignoring him. She was exhausted from all the fuss and quickly got into bed, pulling the covers over herself, ready to sleep.
There was silence behind her for a long time, making her incredibly uneasy. She didn't know what his intentions were. About half an hour later, there was finally some sound from behind her. Gu Yunting had gone to the bathroom. Ye Wan didn't know what he was doing, but she figured she couldn't stop him no matter what, so she relaxed and fell asleep almost instantly.
When Gu Yunting came out after washing up, the girl on the bed was already asleep. He walked over and lay down beside her. Ye Wan found a comfortable position and continued to sleep, her small face pressed against his chest. Her warm breath puffed onto his chest, feeling hot and tingling...
It reminded him of when he was younger, holding her while he told her stories. She would fall asleep like this, leaning into his embrace. The only difference was that she was plump and fair-skinned back then, like a little pig...
His large hand gently stroked her back, and he could clearly feel each of her distinct bones. He couldn't believe how thin someone could become.
His heart ached slightly, and he held the person in his arms a little tighter.
...
Madam Lin was in a very bad mood. After finally coaxing her daughter, who had been having nightmares, to sleep, she returned to her room but tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Gu Yunting's attitude towards her that day had made her feel as disgusted and uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly.
"What are you tossing and turning about here?" Mr. Lin asked, annoyed at being woken up. He had lost a hundred million because of their daughter, which was quite upsetting.
"It's all because of that Ye Wan. I feel like Gu Yunting's soul has been completely ensnared by her! She's a vixen!" Madam Lin said angrily. She hadn't dared to tell her daughter about Gu Yunting's harsh attitude towards her today, for fear of upsetting her.
"She's just a maid. Do you think Gu Yunting would marry her? Don't even think about it. Go to sleep," Mr. Lin said. He was currently troubled by a project that had been stalled for a long time and seemed to require his son-in-law's help.
"I'm just upset," Madam Lin finished saying when her phone rang. It was the private investigator. She answered immediately.
The private investigator had found more information, stating that the maid who had swapped their child with her all those years ago had worked for various families in the capital, serving about five or six employers. Her last employer was the Gu family, and after working for them for a year, there was no further news.
Madam Lin quickly asked which Gu family it was. The other party replied, "The biggest family in the capital, the Gu family!"
