Chen Qianqian smiled, gloating at the sight of Yan Hua experiencing a strong blow.
She placed a hand on the bump on her abdomen, before she walked up and entered Yan Cheng’s bedroom.
Yan Hua was a rich young lady in the past, and what would she be in the future? She would only be remembered as the daughter of a drug smuggler!
Yan Hua collapsed onto the stairs. The strong blow of reality caused her to black out and lose consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was lying on her own bed.
She had a needle connected to a drip in the back of her hand.
She stared blankly at the ceiling.
A cold liquid flowed nonstop from her ears.
She had never thought that the man that she loved with all of her heart had such a great and sacred job.
Never would she have imagined that he beloved Daddy was a drug smuggler.
She had long known that falling for Bo Yan was a tough thing to do.
Because he had no feelings for her.
She did her best to change herself, with her only hope to be that he could take another glance at her.
However, she got used and hurt by him in return for her change!
It was probably the real life version of ‘Internal Affairs’!
In fact, he probably already knew about the truth behind her daddy’s arrest when she received the call last night!
But he did not say a word.
He had never treated her as his significant other.
In his eyes, she was probably a tool that he could abandon anytime!
Although he was indifferent to her during their honeymoon, he still looked after her really well.
When people wanted to take advantage of her or bully her when they were overseas, he would always be the first one to step in and protect her.
Back then, she had thought that he was not that ruthless and heartless to her.
At the time, she had led herself to believe that with time, he would slowly fall for her.
In the end, it turned out that it was all just a one-sided affection.
Yan Hua smiled bitterly. However, as her smile widened, the tears that fell from her eyes increased.
It was no wonder Chen Qianqian called her stupid, she was really stupid!
…
Yan Hua lay in bed for the entire day.
A servant came up to ask her to go down for dinner, but she ignored her. Another helper wanted to bring dinner for her, but Chen Qianqian, who was acting at the lady of the house, ordered the helper to stop serving her.
“Doesn’t she like to lose weight? She can continue losing weight from not eating. It’s not like Bo Yan will take another look at her, no matter how much weight she loses!”
Although she hated Yan Hua badly, Chen Qianqian was still jealous and unhappy after Yan Hua lost so much weight. She was even more afraid that Bo Yan would fall for the now-thin Yan Hua.
However, even if Bo Yan had feelings for Yan Hua, there probably would not be any good ending between the two now that Yan Cheng had been arrested…
It was almost eight at night.
Yan Hua, who had not eaten anything all day, heard the sound of a car engine from downstairs.
Yan Hua closed her tired eyes, she felt weak, angry and sad.
Bo Yan took less than one minute from getting off the car to heading upstairs. His steps were a lot faster than usual.
Bo Yan pushed open the room door and saw Yan Hua sitting by the window. He unbuttoned his suit as his gaze landed on her face. “I heard from the helper that you haven’t eaten anything all day?”
Yan Hua turned around to look at the handsome man beside her. Her usually clear and bright eyes were red, and Bo Yan’s heart clenched slightly when he met her eyes.
Yan Hua stared at the man’s well-defined facial features. She felt like she had been frozen all over, and the only thing that she would feel clearly was the pain in her heart.
Was she the one who had allowed the wolf into their house?
If she had not insisted that he should be her bodyguard, if she did not like him so much, Daddy might have already asked him to leave the Yan family!
Yan Hua closed her eyes. Even breathing felt painful and difficult for her right now.
“Huahua.” Bo Yan’s gaze darkened at the sight of the trembling Yan Hua.
Yan Hua stared at the face that she had been so enchanted with, as she squeezed out the words, “Bo Yan, do you have anything to say to me?”
The emotions in Bo Yan’s eyes kept changing. He moved his lips, his voice low and hoarse, “Did Chen Qianqian tell you everything?”
Before he returned, Yan Hua had still held onto the hope that what Chen Qianqian had said was not the truth.
That Chen Qianqian had only fabricated a lie to sow discord between the two of them. She still wanted to believe that he did not use her and lie to her, that he had went out really wanting to find a way to help her father.
How naive of her.
Whatever illusion she had of him was shattered to pieces.
Yan Hua stumbled two steps backward and Bo Yan grabbed her shoulders instinctively to stabilize her. However, he had just touched her when he got slapped hard on his left cheek.
“Don’t touch me!” Yan Hua shrieked, her wet eyelashes trembled nonstop. “Bo Yan, how can you dare to still appear in front of me after what you’ve done?”
Her vision had turned blurry, and she could no longer see him clearly. However, his face appeared exceptionally clear in her mind, and she could draw his entire face, from his eyebrows to his lips, perfectly.
“You got married to me to take down my Daddy, right?”
Bo Yan stared at her, his eyes unreadable. “Actually, we didn’t do it all the way when you got drunk that night.”
She was very innocent, and had never experienced anything between opposite genders. She thought that they had sex once a drunk couple were in bed together, with several red marks on her neck.
But that was not the truth.
He had not touched her.
Yan Hua’s teary eyes widened even more. She laughed in self-ridicule, “So I see, I see!”
Her vision was completely blurred, while her voice was trembling terribly as well, “Do you think that you can hurt me without a care because you haven’t touched me?”
“Huahua,” Bo Yan’s expression darkened. He took one step forward to grab Yan Hua’s shoulders forcefully, before he sighed softly, “Your father was a good man to you, but he’s a criminal to many people. I won’t make any excuses for myself, and I can only say sorry to you for all that had happened.”
Sorry?
He used her, lied to her, hurt her and caused her to lose her father, yet all she got a ‘sorry’ from him?
Looking from a reasonable perspective, her daddy was a criminal, but to her, he was her only closest family!
“You also arranged for Chen Qianqian to approach my Daddy, right? Does her son belong to my Daddy or you, huh?”
“Yan Hua.” The man tightened his hold on her shoulders. “I’ve never touched another woman before.”
Yan Hua blinked her eyes hard to get all of the tears out as she waited to regain her tears. She laughed lightly. “You’ve never touched a woman before, but you can make all the women do anything for you. You’re… really great…”
Bo Yan had never seen Yan Hua like this. Even though she was smiling, this smile never reached her eyes.
When she looked at him, her gaze was no longer filled with adoration, nor did it have the shyness or sweetness in them like before. All she had was endless despair, hatred and overwhelming coldness.
The way she looked at him was like she had known him for a very long time, yet like they had never known each other as all.
“Bo Yan, you’ve never liked me before, right? Not even a single little bit, right?” Yan Hua heard herself asking softly, her voice distant as though it was trailing from a faraway country.
