Invisible powerpours down from Huo Yichen. Gu Yanxi, paralyzed as she, falters to say,“Why, why you invite me here?”

Huo Yichen reaches out his hand to lift Gu Yanxi’s chin. He holds her beautiful face gently,with his fascinating voice, “It’s time to fulfill the contract we concludedfive years ago.”

Gu Yanxi’s heart is hanging tightly and her lips can’t stop trembling, “Five…five years? Contract?”

“Forget?” Huo Yichen sneers and kindly reminds, “Five years ago, Isaid I wouldmarry you when you were twenty years old.”

Suddenly, she remembers everything.

She, frightened as she is, staresat Huo Yichen who behaves like a winner.She cannot even utter a word, as if she was caught in the throat.

Seeing that she is completely dumb, Huo Yichen says with his warm breath spraying on her face,“So it is the time for me to match my commitment.”

Gu Yanxi, with her hands clenchinginto fists, gets up the courage to face his hazy eyes, “Do you take the marriage as revenge?”

Agrim smile appears on Huo Yichen’sunrivaled face. He says,“Notwithstandinga revenge, you willchoose to marry me and even feel grateful to me. Am I right, MissGu?”

Gu Yanxi’sheart is sinking to the bottom of the valley without a trace. Eventually, she bows to him, “You are right.I am grateful that you can marry me now.”

“Sosmart!” Huo Yichen rubs her chin with his finger pulp and shortens their distance.

Gu Yanxi, having recognizedwhat he is going to do next, moves her head subconsciously.

Huo Yichen holds her chin forcefully suddenly. So painful, as if her chin werecrushed.

“MissGu, you agreedto marry mefive years ago.How about yourattitude now?Any change?” Huo Yichen says with cold voice. Hearing that, Gu Yanxi cannot help but shiver.

Turbid valves are rolling over in Huo Yichen’s eyes, whilist Gu Yanxi has a pale face. She starts to think what she did just now? This man is her in-waiting husband. She has noexcuseorqualification to get awayfrom him.She cannot escape from his hand even for her dad.

Considering that, Gu Yanxi strains every muscle to stand on tiptoe, closes her eyes,and tremblestokiss his lips.

The cigar smell comes to her nose before she touches his lips. She puts away her sadness and humiliation, tramples her dignity hard on the ground and standson tiptoeonce again. However, when she approaches so closely and tries to kiss him, Huo Yichen throws her chin away and turns around loathly. “You want to seduce me now without any legal title? At 9AM tomorrow, bring all your certificates. We meet at Civil Affairs Bureau.”

After Huo Yichen leaves away, Gu Yanxi stays in the room, stunned like a silly, and comes to herself after a long time.

The next day.

Holding a marriage certificate, Gu Yanxi is in a trance.

On the red certificate, their photosseem to be combined. They, just like enemies, sit together, without any trace of smile on their faces.

Huo Yichen drives away after getting the marriage certificate. His assistant and driver Geng Chao pays half-a-year medicalexpense for Gu Yanxi’sdad and then drives herback to Huo Yichen’s house.

It’s avery luxurious three-storey villawith an outside swimming pool and a garden. It, boasting its quality interior decoration, resembles an imperial palace. Seven or eight servants perform their duties. Gu Yanxi was born with a silver spoon, but this house is much more luxurious.

The night is well advanced.

Gu Yanxi gets up from the sofa, puts her perturbation away and feels relived. Huo Yichen manages a big company and is surrounded by all kinds of womeneach day. It is midnight.She thinks that he won’t be back.

So she puts on her pajamas and goes to bed. Her nerves are on edge recently. But now she relives and falls asleep soon.

Gu Yanxi is sleeping soundly. Suddenly, she feels a heavy object pressing on her, and openshereyesby instinct.

The light is off before she goes to bed, but now the light is on. Astrong alcohol smell comes from Huo Yichen. He presses against Gu Yanxi by the quilt, withhis hand goinginside the quilt…

“Huo Yichen, you…you are drunk.Don’tbehave like this.”

Though prepared herself emotionally, she flinches for one moment due to the strange touch.

Huo Yichen feels her resistance. He pulls the quilt and throws it onto the ground, remindingher tyrannically, “We are legal now. I am your legitimate husband, your man.Forget?”

Gu Yanxi, with her body just like a log, says in a low voice, “I haven’t forget, I am your wife.”.

Seeing Gu Yanxi’s obedience, Huo Yichen, with his previous tone disappearingin an instant, reaches out his hand and rubs her chin gently, “Good. You aredocile.”

Gu Yanxi feels the roughness of her face, as if the insects werecrawling there. Strong fumesof wine come from Huo Yichen’sbreath.She is nearly drunken.

“Huo Yichen, you are drunk now.Can you go to sleep?” She tries to get up to avoid any touch with him. But Huo Yichen is lying above her, which makes her breathless.

Gu Yanxi pushes Gu Yichen’s shoulder away with great care, but this movement irritates him. He flew into rage, “Tonight is our wedding night. I am going to sleep with you.”

With these words, Huo Yichen lowersdown his head on her neck, giving her no chance to struggle.

The strange contact and strong fumes of wine makes Gu Yanxi resists instinctively, “Wait, Huo Yichen, I’d better get you a cup of honey water to alleviate your hangover.”

“Too noisy, shut up!” Huo Yichen gets annoyed like a irritated leopard, with his lip pressingagainst her lip to stop her.

Gu Yanxi’srevolt cannot stop himat all. She’d rather die at that moment.

Huo Yichen pauses and looks down at Gu Yanxi, who hastwisted facial features as well as dark and obscure eyes-just one pauses.After that, waves of pain rush up, appearingto crash her.

If this is a dream, she hopes this is just a nightmare…

Her bumpy body resemblesa boat in the ocean during a storm.

Late at night, everything in the room subsides. Huo Yichen stares at Gu Yanxi, who is sleeping.He reaches out his hand to put her hair on her face behind her ears. His eyes are brimming over with endless gentleness, instead of the vertex of the storm. Afterjust one moment of warmth, hedecides to get up. Then, he takes up his clothes and leaves away.
