In the car, Gu Yunting pulled her to him. Ye Wan was startled and looked at him nervously, her eyelashes trembling.
"You thought you could leave the Gu residence once I got married, didn't you?" Gu Yunting gripped her arm and questioned.
"If you got married, I would definitely be able to leave the Gu residence. Even if you didn't allow it, Madam would have sent me away."
Ye Wan knew very well that Gu Yunting's marriage would be a crucial turning point in her life. Once he was married, she could finally escape the nightmare of her past.
"So, you've been waiting for me to get married so you could leave quickly?" Gu Yunting realized she actually wanted to leave him so badly, a realization that made him extremely displeased.
Ye Wan frowned at him. Did he want to keep her even after he got married? The man's next words confirmed her suspicion.
"I'm telling you now, no matter when it is, whether I'm married or not, you'll never escape!" Gu Yunting tightened his grip on her arm.
Ye Wan's face instantly turned ashen. She suddenly seemed to explode and angrily pushed him away. In her agitation, she also fell. She shouted hysterically, "What right do you have? Gu Yunting, what right do you have! Did I commit murder or arson! I wasn't the one who slept with your father back then! What more do you want now that you're married? Do you want to become like your father!"
Hearing these words, Gu Yunting's expression also turned grim. He wanted to help her up first. Ye Wan suddenly lunged forward, grabbed his arm, and bit down fiercely. She was so agitated that she bit hard. Her slender body trembled desperately, like a wounded little beast under attack, fighting for a sliver of hope for survival.
Gu Yunting didn't move, letting her bite him. Through two layers of clothes, she couldn't bite through. Human teeth weren't that sharp. She was trembling too violently, and Gu Yunting was worried about her health, wanting her to calm down first.
The next second, Ye Wan's body went limp and she fainted.
Gu Yunting's heart tightened. He quickly reached out and picked her up. Looking at her pale, frail appearance, his heart felt like it was being repeatedly pierced by a steel needle.
...
Jin Lan said that Ye Wan's sudden collapse was due to severe malnutrition and a strong emotional shock. He looked at the man beside him with curiosity, "What did you do this time? You managed to shock her into fainting?"
Gu Yunting thought that she had fainted because she was stimulated by his absolute refusal to ever let her go, and a heavy weight pressed down on his chest.
"Never mind, I won't ask anymore. This poor child truly has a difficult fate." Jin Lan felt great sympathy for Ye Wan's plight. In fact, the events of that year had nothing to do with her as a child. He had advised Gu Yunting, but this guy was incredibly stubborn. No matter what they said, he wouldn't listen and was solely focused on keeping Ye Wan imprisoned.
Ye Wan was brought back to the Gu residence by the Gu family's private car. When she arrived, she got out and walked inside. Sun Ma saw her return and walked over, saying, "Xiao Wan, you're back. I made your favorite dishes for you. Wash up and eat."
Ye Wan wasn't very hungry and really didn't have the appetite to eat. Gu Yunting's attitude frustrated her. She was truly afraid that she would never be able to escape him in this lifetime.
If that were the case, what would be the point of all her efforts?
"You child, you must eat. If you don't take good care of yourself, what about Xiao Cheng?" Sun Ma whispered, coaxing her.
