After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

The woman's laughter, mixed with the cold sea breeze, was chilling to the bone.

Gu Tianyou shook his head in disbelief.

"Shouldn't you be recuperating in the hospital? Why are you here? Who let you out?"

Ye Yingying laughed even more wildly, her mouth almost reaching her ears.

This demeanor was a stark contrast to her usual gentle and obedient nature; it was like night and day.

"Brother Tianyou, Shen Yao is trying to harm you. I'm protecting you, understand?"

Ye Yingying suddenly became very agitated.

He attempted to break free from the two strong and powerful mercenaries.

But mercenaries are not to be trifled with.

Their hands, like an impenetrable wall, firmly pressed Ye Yingying to the ground.

Ye Yingying knelt in the cold seawater, and the rising tide quickly soaked her lower body.

Even in the sweltering early summer, kneeling for too long can make you feel cold.

Her body began to tremble slightly, and the smile on her face was no longer as arrogant as before.

"Brother Tianyou, I'm so cold, can you take me home?"

Ye Yingying lowered her head for a moment, then suddenly raised it again.

When it lifted up again, it was as if it were a completely different person.

She transformed back into that seemingly gentle and well-behaved socialite heiress.

Ye Ying'er's face has been repaired. Although it looks a bit unnatural upon closer inspection, she is still a pretty woman overall.

Those almond-shaped eyes, like shimmering autumn water, looked at Gu Tianyou with pleading eyes.

Gu Tianyou narrowed his eyes slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing.

He looked at Shen Yao, and Shen Yao looked at him too.

"Slap her three times."

Shen Yao said to Gu Tianyou, word by word.

Surprise flashed in Gu Tianyou's eyes, while a mocking smile appeared on Shen Yao's lips.

"Are you having a hard time? Have you forgotten that our child was lost because of her?"

In fact, the most direct reason why the child was kicked out was that the group of thugs hired by Gu Tianyou didn't know their own strength.

But ultimately, it was because Gu Tianyou wanted to avenge Ye Yingying that he treated Shen Yao this way.

Shen Yao originally intended to let Ye Yingying go, but Ye Yingying walked right into her line of fire and even tried to take her life...

Shen Yao felt that her kindness had reached its limit.

Unconditional forgiveness is a breeding ground for stray dogs.

She, Shen Yao, shouldn't be such a kind person.

Thinking this, her gaze toward Gu Tianyou took on a colder scrutiny.

Gu Tianyou gritted his teeth and turned to look at Ye Yingying again, feeling her stare at him.

"You vicious woman! Yao Yao has never wronged you, so why have you tried to harm her time and time again?!"

After saying that, Gu Tianyou gave the mercenary a look.

The mercenary understood and slapped Ye Yingying three times across the face.

These mercenaries, who usually wield knives and guns, are incredibly strong. After three slaps, Ye Yingying was left dizzy and disoriented.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

She struggled to lift her head, her ears ringing.

Her eyes, peering through her disheveled hair, stared at Gu Tianyou.

His mouth moved, and he managed to utter a single sentence with difficulty.

“Brother Tianyou, you once said that you wouldn’t bear to hit me.”

Gu Tianyou sneered, "Before, I didn't see that you were a vicious woman. Now that I see you, do you still expect me to be as gentle to you as before? That's just wishful thinking!"

Looking at the utterly cold man in front of her, Ye Yingying shook her head in disbelief.

“Brother Tianyou, you weren’t like this before.”

As Ye Yingying spoke, she hugged Gu Tianyou's leg.

It was like grasping at a straw; I wanted to hold on to him desperately.

However, this action only intensified Gu Tianyou's already strong dislike for him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his foot, and kicked Ye Yingying away.

Ye Yingying fell into the seawater, completely soaked and in a very disheveled state.

But unwilling to give up, she quickly got up and rushed towards Gu Tianyou.

Shen Yao said calmly from the side, "It seems that she doesn't think she has done anything wrong."

Gu Tianyou gritted his teeth, "Then I'll let her know she was wrong."

As he spoke, Gu Tianyou seized the opportunity and kicked Ye Yingying as she was about to get close, knocking her down again.

This time, the kick was much harder than before.

Before Ye Yingying could even react, she was sent flying.

It crashed heavily into the sea.

The sea level keeps rising.

Ye Yingying's body was almost completely submerged.

Just when Gu Tianyou thought Ye Yingying would finally calm down, she slowly got up again, pointed at Shen Yao, and started cursing.

"You vile woman! It must be you, it must be you, gossiping behind Tianyou's back! You have such a vicious heart, you've always been this vicious since we were little!"

Shen Yao smiled calmly.

Turning to Gu Tianyou, "Mr. Gu, Ye Yingying said I'm vicious. Would you consider letting me leave you?"

A ruthless glint immediately flashed in Gu Tianyou's eyes.

He suddenly wrapped his arms around Shen Yao's slender waist and held her shoulders tightly.

With a hoarse voice, he said, "Even if you are poison, I will still take it."

Shen Yao smiled.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Ye Yingying, her eyes filled with mockery and smugness.

Just like Ye Yingying mocked her back then.

Ye Yingying stood soaking wet in the seawater that was already above her knees when she suddenly let out a sharp roar.

"I am going to kill you!"

As he spoke, ignoring the excruciating pain in his abdomen, he charged at Shen Yao like a mad dog that had lost its mind.

Shen Yao's expression changed.

Seeing that she was scared, Gu Tianyou held her even tighter.

"What are you standing there for? Take this crazy woman to a mental hospital."

"Yes."

At Gu Tianyou's command, the two mercenaries beside him rushed forward, grabbed Ye Yingying with both hands, and carried her out like a chick.

She was still cursing and swearing.

Shen Yao covered her ears.

Gu Tianyou turned to the mercenary and said, "Tell that crazy woman to be quiet!"

How to quiet down?

Madmen don't understand human language, so the two mercenaries exchanged a glance and each gave Ye Yingying a chop to the neck.

Ye Yingying wilted like a frostbitten eggplant, collapsing limply and being dragged away by those people like a dead dog.

"Are you satisfied?"

Gu Tianyou gently stroked Shen Yao's back and asked softly.

After the storm subsided, Gu Tianyou noticed that Shen Yao smelled very nice.

It has a faint, elegant jasmine fragrance.

Intoxicating.

Gu Tianyou's nose gradually approached the tip of Shen Yao's hair.

Like a person suffering from oxygen deprivation breathing in air, she inhaled her fragrance to her heart's content.

"Don't do this. Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

A cold, icy voice rang in my ears.

Then a pair of slender hands forcefully pushed open her chest.

Gu Tianyou frowned, about to question the woman, but saw a glacial indifference in her eyes.

He finally released his hands, took a step back, and suppressed the lust in his heart, saying, "I'm sorry."
