Gu Yunting seemed stimulated, backing away repeatedly, murmuring that she was not Ye Wan.
Hua Rong didn't know where things had gone wrong. Anxious, she rushed over to embrace Gu Yunting, attempting to force herself upon him.
Gu Yunting shoved her away fiercely, roaring in anger, "Get out, get out! I don't care who you are. If you dare come near me again, I'll kill you!"
Hua Rong was violently thrown to the ground, stunned by the impact. But she couldn't afford to miss this chance; she knew she'd never have another. She crawled to Gu Yunting's feet, grabbed the hem of his trousers, and said pitifully, "Ting, it's really me! Don't be so cruel to me. I'm in pain."
Hearing this, Gu Yunting kicked at the person at his feet. The kick landed directly on Hua Rong's face, tearing open her skin and causing profuse bleeding. She was instantly disfigured.
Hua Rong screamed, touching the blood on her face, and her screams grew louder.
Her cries alerted the bodyguards. Gu Ye was the first to rush in. He was shocked by the scene in the bedroom but quickly composed himself. While he didn't know Hua Rong's intentions, he saw through them.
The woman hadn't bothered to hide her intentions from them, the bodyguards, as she looked down on them.
Seeing the young master and the woman in disheveled clothing, he knew what had happened. He immediately steadied Gu Yunting. "Young Master, let's go!"
He needed to get the young master to take a cold shower and regain his senses.
"You can't take him away, Gu Yunting, you can't leave!" Hua Rong was unyielding, even with a disfigured face. This was her last chance. If she failed, her life would truly be over.
Her branch of the Hua family was in an awkward position. Her family was counting on her to marry Gu Yunting to improve their status within the clan. If she failed, their branch would be ruined.
Hua Rong got up and lunged towards them. Gu Ye gave a look, and the bodyguards quickly intercepted her, pushing her back down.
Hua Rong could only watch in despair as Gu Yunting was taken away. She closed her eyes in utter hopelessness, knowing that everything was finished.
...
Gu Ye placed Gu Yunting into a bathtub filled with cold water. Someone had already been contacted to bring Jin Lan.
Gu Yunting kept calling out Ye Wan's name. Gu Ye immediately called Ye Wan, asking her to come and stay with Gu Yunting.
Ye Wan, too angry to sleep, took a taxi to the hotel immediately after receiving the call. Her place was relatively close to the hotel.
Upon her arrival, Gu Ye handed Gu Yunting over to Ye Wan, without having time to explain what had happened. Seeing Gu Yunting lying in the bathtub, his recently recovering hands soaked, Ye Wan forgot her anger. She immediately rushed over, hugged him, and lifted his hands. "Gu Yunting, don't move around! Your hands are wet!"
"Ye Wan... Ye Wan... Ye Wan..." Hearing Ye Wan's voice, Gu Yunting immediately reached out and pulled her close, wishing he could merge her into his body.
Ye Wan was soaked by his embrace and couldn't push him away. When the man's kiss landed, Ye Wan was speechless. Was he drunk? But there was no smell of alcohol.
"You can't do this. Your hands are still wet; they need to be re-bandaged," Ye Wan shouted in his ear.
