After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

I hailed a taxi and headed straight for Chuanhai Cemetery in the northern suburbs.

After getting off the car, I stood in front of the cemetery. It was pitch black before my eyes, and the darkness made it all the more eerie and terrifying.

My remaining rationality told me to escape this place of trouble as soon as possible.

However, the live stream viewers couldn't resist the jeers and encouragement.

There was no other way but to grit my teeth and keep going.

As I turned on my flashlight and tried to appear calm while introducing the cemetery to the viewers in the live stream, I cautiously looked around.

Some netizens, not wanting to miss out on trouble, occasionally typed chilling text in the public chat.

Just then, I suddenly felt a rustling sound from the bushes beside me.

It's hard for people not to overthink things in this kind of environment.

I didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment. I just shakily walked towards the bushes, but I couldn't see anything when I shone the flashlight.

At that moment, someone in the live stream suddenly sent a voice message: "Look, isn't there something white moving under the streamer's feet?"

"Yes, yes, I saw it too."

"Host, hurry, hurry, this place is too..."

I really didn't want to look at the content on the public chat, but my eyes kept glancing at it uncontrollably.

Looking at it for the first time, I felt my scalp tingle.

My stiff body instinctively lowered, my gaze fixed on that small, white, unidentified thing. Before I could utter a sound, it suddenly darted out of the grass and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"what!"

At this point, I couldn't care less about the Cloud Piercing Arrow or making money; all I could think about was getting out of this godforsaken place as quickly as possible.

I was so focused on running forward that I didn't even notice the path beneath my feet, and before I knew it, I had fallen heavily down the steps.

The cell phone and flashlight are nowhere to be found.

The next moment, I fell into the stinking ditch next to me, with foul-smelling mud beneath me. I struggled to reach out and try to grab onto anything usable around me.

However, suddenly, a cold, emotionless hand grabbed my arm.

"what!"

"Ghost!"

The person was standing against the light, so I couldn't see who he was at all, but I could tell he was a living person.

I hastily swatted away the blinding light, and when I finally saw the face clearly, I was stunned: "How could it be you?"

I never imagined I would meet Song Le here.

“Gu Mo, you shouldn’t have come here.” Song Le frowned, her voice filled with worry.

The next second, I saw a hint of guilt flash across his eyes.

"I'm sorry." He lowered his eyes.

I was stunned. What on earth was going on?

Just as he was wondering, he added, "It's Song Yuan."

Upon hearing this name, I immediately understood.

That brat wants to see me humiliated.

An unprecedented feeling of bitterness welled up in my heart.

If I hadn't rejected Song Le's marriage proposal back then, Song Yuan wouldn't have dared to trample on me like this!

Ha! The world is such a strange circle.

I used to disdain money, but now I've become so humble.

Song Le carefully pulled me out of the water.

The moment I got ashore, I really wanted to go back and tear Song Yuan apart.

However, as soon as I stood up, my ankle hurt terribly, I gasped and fell to the ground.

"hiss--"

"injured?"

Before I could even speak, Song Le had already squatted down in front of me.

His eyes were full of worry. He reached out to hold my foot to check the wound, but I instinctively pulled my hand back.

He seemed a little embarrassed and cleared his throat. "I'll take you home."

With Song Le's help, I limped back to the villa.

Song Le said she would apply medicine for me.

I refused.

I didn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings with the maids, otherwise they might talk badly about me in front of Jiang Yichen.

"Gu Mo, can't we even be friends?" he said in a deep voice.

I lowered my head, a bitter feeling welling up inside me.

The eldest son of the prestigious Song family, a powerful figure in Tongcheng, even if I dumped him back then, why wouldn't I want to be friends with him?

I just don't want people to misunderstand.

Especially Jiang Yichen.

I was about to explain when I felt a cool sensation on my ankle.

Just then, a sound came from the doorway, followed by a chilling voice.

Jiang Yichen's gaze fell on me, and he frowned: "What are you doing?"

His gaze was so cold that it gave me goosebumps.

I quickly forced myself to stand up and pulled my foot back.

Jiang Yichen didn't give me a chance to explain, and his eyes looked like they were poisoned.

He made no attempt to hide his sarcasm, saying, "Gu Mo, don't forget whose territory this is. I am the owner of this villa."

His words were like a reminder that I was just a mistress living under someone else's roof and shouldn't overstep any boundaries.

His gloomy gaze fell on Song Le, and he said in a cold voice, "Who let you in?"

Song Le seemed to have anticipated his anger, and said calmly, "Something unexpected happened, I just brought her back."

"An accident?" Jiang Yichen walked towards me, pressing closer step by step. He glanced at Song Le behind him out of the corner of his eye. "Aren't you leaving now?"

Song Le glanced at me, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

I was just about to thank him and tell him to go back and rest when he turned and left.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yichen pinned me under the sofa. "You really can't live without him?"

I frowned, about to explain, when he added, "If I don't come back tonight, are you going to let him stay here overnight?"

What utter nonsense!

His eyes held a chilling coldness, and my body involuntarily trembled.

"He was just applying medicine to me, we had nothing between us."

Jiang Yichen's expression remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he did not believe me.

He snorted coldly and made his words even harsher.

"Really? Gu Mo, I'm warning you, don't bring your old tricks from the club here."

The kind of thing you see in clubhouses?

A surge of anger welled up inside me.

"Jiang Yichen, you're the one who sent me here."

I can leave anytime he says the word.

His gaze was fixed on me, his eyes filled with endless coldness.

Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen him look at me with such disgust, it still stung my heart like it was being pricked by needles.

After saying that, Jiang Yichen didn't give me a chance to explain. He stood up and waved to instruct the servants.

"Take her back to her room. She is not allowed to leave the villa without my permission."

I never expected Jiang Yichen to put me under house arrest.

But how could I possibly obey?

Three days later, Jiang Yichen went on a business trip.

In the middle of the night, while all the servants were asleep, I quietly slipped out of the room.

Looking up at the high wall in front of me, I felt a pang of sadness.

I, Gu Mo, have actually gone so far as to climb over the wall and sneak out.

A few minutes later, I brought over the ladder that I had prepared beforehand.

I carefully climbed up, but just as my hand was about to touch the rock wall, a cold male voice came from behind me.

"Gu Mo!"

I was startled.

It's Jiang Yichen!
