After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

Xu Xinran's smile faded, her tone carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Rest tonight, and I will give you an explanation tomorrow."

Zhou Yu knew he wouldn't get any useful information tonight. He shoved Xu Xinran aside and stormed upstairs to his room.

Xu Xinran stared at Zhou Yu's back, a flash of anger crossing her eyes.

She secretly vowed that she would never let him go in this lifetime.

Whether he hates her or thinks she's despicable, she will stop at nothing to keep him.

He was her husband in her past life, and that will never change in this life.

……

The night was as dark as ink, but Zhou Yu's dreams were like boiling water, restless and uneasy.

One moment, he felt as if he had returned to the dark and hopeless prison of his past life, where he was being punched and kicked; the next moment, he saw Xu Xinran's cold and disgusted gaze, which pierced his heart like a knife.

Then, the scene shifts, and Xu Xinran, like a demon from hell, whispers in his ear: "You are mine, in life and in death."

Zhou Yu was suddenly awakened, the heavy object on his chest making him catch his breath.

He didn't even need to look; he knew who it was.

He carefully tried to move his body away from the woman, but as soon as he moved, Xu Xinran opened her eyes.

In the darkness, her eyes were cold and deep, like a bottomless pool of ice, staring straight at him.

"Zhou Yu, where are you going?" Her voice carried a hint of alertness.

Zhou Yu was speechless for a moment, so he could only make up a lie: "I'm going to the restroom, is that not allowed?"

After saying that, he hurriedly got up and fled into the bathroom.

Inside, he leaned against the cold wall, reluctant to leave for a long time, and even considered spending the night in the bathroom.

However, Xu Xinran's voice still came in from outside the door.

"Zhou Yu, it's time for you to come out."

A cold sweat trickled down Zhou Yu's back. He knew very well that even if he didn't leave, Xu Xinran wouldn't let it go.

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leave the bathroom.

Seeing that his complexion was off, Xu Xinran worried that he hadn't recovered from falling into the water, so she quickly reached out and touched his forehead.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Nightmare... Zhou Yu smiled bitterly to himself.

The woman who brought him endless nightmares is now concerned about whether he is being awakened by nightmares.

What an irony!

"Am I constantly having nightmares?"

He muttered something under his breath, then lay back down on the bed.

Inside this house, he was like a bird trapped in a cage. No matter where he hid, he was powerless to resist whatever Xu Xinran wanted to do to him.

So what else does she have to guard against?

Zhou Yu suppressed his agitation, closed his eyes again, and prayed for a peaceful dream so that he wouldn't relive those hellish memories from his past life.

After an unknown amount of time, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Xu Xinran wasn't sure if Zhou Yu was asleep, but she didn't care. She still had to say what she wanted to say.

“Zhou Yu…”

She called his name softly, placed her hand on his arm, and gently stroked it.

"No one in this world loves you more than I do. So, this time... could you try to love me one more time?"

Xu Xinran's voice trembled slightly, as she stared intently at Zhou Yu's back, hoping for even the slightest response.

However, the only response she received was Zhou Yu's heavy breathing.

Xu Xinran's heart sank. What she didn't know was that Zhou Yu had already opened his eyes the moment she finished speaking.

But in those eyes, there was only darkness and death.

Love?

Zhou Yu sneered inwardly.

He can love anyone in this life, but he will never love her!

Since we can't escape the entanglement of fate, let's just let go and let each other torment each other...
