Abandoned after first marriage due to infertility, married into a wealthy family and had two childre

Bai Xiaowei retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and quickly denied: "I didn't run away, I was... afraid of disturbing your sleep... It's too late, we can talk about it tomorrow..."

"Ah."

The sneer was extremely clear, and contained a strong sense of mockery. It was unclear whether he was laughing at her or at himself.

"Am I too indulgent to you? Allowing you to trample on my bottom line without restraint?"

Bai Xiaowei wanted to say, if you really indulge me, just send me away and reunite with my family.

However, she wisely chose to keep her mouth shut.

After all, she didn't know how to get through what happened tonight.

Sure enough, Yuan Yihong's next sentence was: "Give me a reason for what happened tonight."

After saying this, he laughed at himself.

The bitter smile was hidden in the darkness and no one saw it.

Bai Xiaowei pursed her lips, her eyes flickering, unsure whether to speak her true thoughts.

From the very beginning, she didn't come here voluntarily.

Isn't it normal to want to leave?

"I want to go home."

After a long while, she decided to reiterate her position again.

Her response was another sneer.

"Is it true that no matter what I do, I can't warm your heart?"

Hearing these accusatory words, Bai Xiaowei felt uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to defend herself.

But before she could open her mouth, Yuan Yihong continued, "I saved Han Tao once and brought him back from the underground fighting arena. He swore to be loyal to me until death. With just one word from me, he would go through mountains of swords and seas of fire."

Bai Xiaowei was confused for a moment, not understanding what Yuan Yihong was saying, but this interruption prevented her from saying what she wanted to say.

"I helped Kongji kill his enemy. Since then, he has been serving me, making plans and arrangements, and even used his chest to block bullets for me several times."

"After the fall of the Yuan family, there were countless people who wanted to kill me. There were countless traps set up to make me a scapegoat and squeeze out every last bit of my value."

"But Han Tao and Kong Si have always been by my side, risking their lives for me and escaping death."

Having said this, Yuan Yihong did not continue speaking, perhaps because he was touched or because he recalled his bloody and dark past life.

The atmosphere was cold and awkward. Bai Xiaowei hesitated for a while before echoing the praise: "I didn't expect that they are both grateful people. You have a good vision."

Yuan Yihong asked self-deprecatingly: "Do I have good taste?"

"So good that even though I know that you only have Gu Wenrui in your eyes and heart, I still keep trying to get close to you."

"So good that I could have you directly, but I'm afraid of hurting your body, so I take cold showers every day to eliminate it."

"So good that even though I knew you came here with a purpose today, I still treated the juice you squeezed and the food you cooked as treasures and was reluctant to waste any of it."

"So good that you've stabbed me in the back, and I still have to deceive myself and cover up for you, afraid that you'll be bullied?"

"Even if I give you my life, you will still treat it like a piece of trash and ignore it."

"Bai Xiaowei, don't you have a heart?"

The mocking questions and heart-piercing words, filled with unbearable pain, hit Bai Xiaowei in the face.

Bai Xiaowei was a little panicked and she wanted to deny it eagerly.

Yuan Yihong did a lot, but these were not what she wanted.

The positions of the two were opposing from the beginning, which meant that she would never respond to his feelings.

Even if one day she sat in the prosecution seat, she would accuse him of all his crimes one by one.

Be objective and fair, and never show favoritism.

But these words are too hurtful to say out loud.

Seeing Bai Xiaowei's silence, Yuan Yihong felt his heart bleeding. Even though he usually had a strong tolerance, he couldn't help but want to curl up, hug his trembling body, and heal his wounds alone.

But, that conscienceless woman just stood there.

Standing a few steps away from him, she watched his pain coldly, indifferent.

He couldn't help but wonder, if Gu Wenrui was in so much pain, what would Bai Xiaowei do?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I felt it was ridiculous.

Given how much Bai Xiaowei cares about and values ​​Gu Wenrui, how could she bear to hurt him?

His fingers trembled in the darkness, and he desperately wanted to grab something to relieve the pain that penetrated his bones.

Suddenly, my fingers touched something furry.

That was her hair that he had picked up strand by strand outside the study door just now.

He had originally placed it carefully closest to his heart and kept it with great care, but now, due to the large movements of his body, a lot of it fell out of his pocket.

He grabbed it immediately, holding it in his palm, feeling the silky touch, imagining that it was her who was resting her head on his chest.

After deceiving myself for a while, the pain in my body slowly subsided.

Yuan Yihong just felt exhausted and no longer had the energy to speak.

I don't want to hear those cruel words from Bai Xiaowei's mouth.

"If you don't want to talk, get out!"

Bai Xiaowei recognized Yuan Yihong's voice and suddenly became tired and fragile. She thought he was angry with her and didn't want to pay attention to her, so she turned around and left obediently.

However, after going out, she sighed and felt inexplicably depressed.

Although she would not accept Yuan Yihong's feelings, his kindness to her was real and undeniable.

It’s just that they have different stances.

The next day.

As usual, Bai Xiaowei practiced at the shooting range for an hour and spent the rest of the time sleeping.

Yuan Yihong seemed very busy and didn't even eat breakfast or lunch with her.

I don’t know if he is really busy or just doesn’t want to see her.

But it just happened that I took advantage of Bai Xiaowei's intention. I didn't have to face Yuan Yihong, so it was good to be an ostrich.

Night falls.

Everything was normal in the castle.

Bai Xiaowei felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if something was going to happen.

This made her, who had been sleepy since she became pregnant, toss and turn in bed tonight.

Half asleep and half awake, she felt a strong and burning gaze. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw a dark shadow at the head of the bed, which scared her.

The hairs all over my body instantly stood up, my heart was beating wildly in my throat, but my body was stiff and I didn't know how to react.

A familiar sneer sounded from the darkness, and the dark shadow at the head of the bed leaned down and came close to her.

"You sleep like a pig. You have no vigilance at all. You don't even know I sold you out."

"How come you get so many sleeps in a day, huh?"

Bai Xiaowei relaxed her body, and the hairs on her body slowly fell down. She said angrily, "Don't you know that scaring others can kill you? Who wouldn't be scared when they open their eyes in the middle of the night and see a person at the head of the bed? You are crazy!"

Yuan Yihong curled his lips in pleasure: "Come on, curse more, I love to hear it."

Bai Xiaowei: "...I think you are really sick."

She supported herself on the bed and sat up, ready to turn on the bedside lamp, but was stopped by the man's big hand.

"Shh, don't turn on the lights. I'll take you to see the fireworks."

After saying that, without waiting for Bai Xiaowei's response, he pulled her up and walked out.

"Shoes, shoes, I'm not wearing shoes."

Just as she was shouting anxiously, she felt the force pulling on her hands loosen, and then she saw the tall man half-kneeling down, pulling up her feet and helping her put on her shoes.

Bai Xiaowei shrank back in embarrassment when her feet were held by another man.

I felt like someone tapped my instep, and a man scolded a child with a confident voice: "Put on your shoes properly and stop making trouble."

Bai Xiaowei became obedient.

She curled up her toes and let Yuan Yihong put on her shoes. Her skin felt hot in his hands and the heat was steaming towards her face.

After putting on my shoes, I walked through the endless darkness and followed Yuan Yihong to the terrace on the top floor of the castle.

Bai Xiaowei had never been here before since she came here. At this moment, she was refreshed by the cool sea breeze, and her chaotic mind gradually became clear.

There is no moon or stars tonight.

Only the few sparks spreading from the castle were like fireflies, unable to illuminate the dark night.

Causing panic for no reason.

"Where are the fireworks?"

Bai Xiaowei had not forgotten Yuan Yihong's excuse for waking her up in the middle of the night. She looked at him suspiciously, "We have an agreement. You disturbed my beauty sleep in the middle of the night. I have to catch up on my sleep tomorrow morning."

In response to her, she heard the man's low laughter, which was pleasant and melodious.

Accompanied by the roaring waves and the tranquil sea breeze, it slowly enters your ears, like a wonderful musical feast.

"Okay, as long as you behave yourself tonight, you can sleep as long as you want tomorrow."

On a night like this, with such a gentle and doting man, how could one not be intoxicated?

Bai Xiaowei was almost intoxicated by it.

She pinched her thigh hard and grimaced in pain.

At this moment, a fire lit up in the darkness in the distance, followed by a series of intensive "bang bang" sounds.

Bombs were thrown into the sea one after another, immediately causing huge waves.

The clamor of people and horses falling to the ground was also blown over by the sea breeze.

Bai Xiaowei opened her eyes wide in astonishment: "This is... the fireworks you mentioned?"

The finger pointed tremblingly into the distance.

A light laugh sounded in her ears. The man put his chin on her shoulder and hugged her from behind. "The conditions are limited, so just make do with it for now. After tonight, I'll set off real fireworks for you."

"What do you mean by after tonight?"

The words are repeated over and over again, and even the most insensitive person should realize that something is wrong.

If it was just a pirate attack, why is tonight different from last time?

Yuan Yihong stretched out his hand in front of her, holding something with his slender fingers, and said in a leisurely tone: "Since you are the one who led them here, then come with me and watch them turn to ashes, okay?"

Look clearly at the brooch in Yuan Yihong's hand.

The blood in Bai Xiaowei's body almost froze, her brain was buzzing, and her eyes were blank.
