Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

And what are the betrothed couple doing at this moment?

The once confident and beautiful Liu Rushuang in the Liu family home was now like a completely different person. Her eyes were empty, and she sat on the bed as if she had lost her soul. She was completely unaware that someone had entered through the door.

Liu Wenji looked at his daughter, whom he had always been so proud of. She was intelligent and beautiful, and he could have gained countless benefits from her. But now she had become like this and had lost all her value!

He didn't comfort Liu Rushuang, but calmly said what he wanted to say:

"The Ye family sent word that since you're engaged, you should spend more time together to nurture your relationship. Shangsong Academy is on holiday, and Ye Luotian has returned to the Ye family. Pack your things and go to the Ye family."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rushuang finally reacted. She was struck dumb and screamed hysterically:

"I'm not going! Ye Luotian is a beast, I'm not going!" Then, in her haste to get out of bed, she tumbled off. She grabbed Liu Wenji's clothes and began to sob.

"Father, you know, none of this was what I wanted. It was Ye Luotian who ruined me! Father, I'm scared. I don't want to go to the Ye family, I don't want to see him!"

Seeing her pitiful state, Liu Wenji showed no sympathy whatsoever. He reached out and pinched Liu Rushuang's face, forcing her to raise her head, and then said leisurely:

"So, my good daughter, why didn't you just be smarter and protect yourself? It's such a waste of all the precious resources I've invested in you over the years. I've put so much effort into you, and in the end, I've made a losing deal."

Liu Wenji's eyes were filled with deep disdain.

"Before, rumors were circulating everywhere that my Liu family's daughter had seduced the Ye family's handsome servant and lost her virginity. If the Ye family hadn't taken the initiative to arrange a marriage with my Liu family to dispel these rumors, how could my Liu family have survived in this holy city! Now we've lost money but regained our reputation. If you know what's good for you, you should behave and listen to me instead of crying and making a scene here!"

"Father, they framed me! How could I possibly fall for a servant of the Ye family? I am a young lady of the Liu family, how could I possibly be interested in him? Father, I am your most beloved daughter, you should prove my innocence, why did you compromise instead!"

Liu Wenji smiled, but uttered cruel words:

"How can you still not understand! Even if this was Ye family's scheme, the result was that our Liu family suffered the greatest losses. Now I have minimized the losses. Also, you are indeed my most beloved daughter, but that was before."

"Although Ruxue is not as talented as you, she is still a good choice. Rushuang, just accept your fate and go to the Ye family. Pack your things. If you don't go, I will have someone carry you there. Also, don't think about ending it all. Your mother is still in the Liu family."

This is a threat, a warning.

After Liu Wenji finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving only Liu Rushuang's sobs in the large room.

"Why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything wrong, so why am I still wrong?"

And what about the Ye family?

Ye Luotian sat in the bedroom, with Chen Pingfan standing beside him, listening to the servant's report:

"Young Master, we have already sent a message to the Liu family. They should be sending the person over soon."

"After she arrived, we put her directly in the east courtyard and assigned a few people to watch over her."

"Yes, my lord."

After the person left, Ye Luotian gave a meaningful smile and then said:

"How was it, Pingfan? How was the taste of the eldest daughter of the Liu family?"

Although Chen Pingfan has always been a smooth talker, he was acting differently now. He quickly knelt down in front of Ye Luotian, looking at Ye Luotian with a fanatical gaze.

"Young Master is wise and mighty, a master strategist. It is my greatest fortune to serve you. Trust in Young Master! And you will live forever!"

"Haha, as long as you are truly loyal to me, you can have women, wealth, and even that elusive immortality!"

Chen Pingfan kowtowed even more excitedly, but he couldn't see it. Ye Luotian, however, could see that Chen Pingfan's dark heart was continuously feeding him dark power, which was a great supplement to improve his cultivation.

"Miss Liu will be here soon. Go and take a look, but keep your voice down so as not to disturb the guards outside the courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Chen Pingfan immediately understood his meaning and hurriedly left, full of gratitude.

After he left, Ye Luotian muttered to himself:

"Humans are so greedy. I only saw a little bit of greed in your heart and found the loophole directly. A woman completely exposed your dark side. But the more greedy you are, the greater your desires will be, and the more power I will gain to restore myself."

"Ugh, how come this annoying human consciousness is still here? Oh well, I've done what I needed to do anyway, so I'll just rest for a few days."

After he finished speaking, the darkness in Ye Luotian's eyes faded. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were clear.

But fear returned after Qingming Festival, and he tightly covered his head.

After a long silence, a question was posed:

"what's wrong with me?"

Although Ye Luotian was spoiled and arrogant since childhood, he wasn't ruthless enough. He could kill but disdained to torture. However, recently, for some reason, he had lured Liu Rushuang to the Ye family home, drugged her, and had Chen Pingfan humiliate her. He then spread the news and stepped in as the savior. The Ye family did benefit, but this wasn't what he wanted to do. No! He did do it!

But he didn't want to do it. He couldn't control his thoughts and could only watch himself do these shameful and dirty things. He was the young master of the Ye family, a chosen one of heaven. How could he do such a thing!

Since his injury, everything has truly changed. To this day, he can't forget the look in Liu Rushuang's eyes, or her desperate screams.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and then hurriedly ran to the courtyard where Liu Rushuang was. He knew everything that 'he' had done, but by the time he got there it was too late. The guards outside the courtyard had been sent away, and he could only hear the woman's suppressed sobs and the man's excited voice.

He returned to his courtyard, dejected, only to find his sister, with whom he had been very close since childhood. Now, his sister looked at him with utterly unfamiliar eyes and questioned him:

"Brother, you brought Sister Ru Shuang here! You ruined her and then brought her here to suffer! Look at your gloomy appearance now, you're nothing like my confident older brother! You're not even as good as Feng Hua now!"

With a loud "smack," Ye Xilan received a solid slap. An incredulous look appeared on her face, and she left crying.

"Feng Hua, Feng Hua, yes, I've been so busy these days that I almost forgot about him. It's all because of him. I haven't changed. The one who made the mistake is Feng Hua!" Ye Luotian was, in the end, just a spoiled child. When he noticed something was wrong with himself, he was afraid and even forgot about revenge. Now, it's really thanks to Ye Xilan for reminding him.

Although the darkness in Ye Luotian's eyes had dissipated, his expression was still terrifyingly ferocious. The actions of the other "him" within him had subtly influenced him!
