he deliberately showed too much skin to steal the spotlight.With malicious stares and harsh words raining down, Bai Yihuan's brain went blank.By the time she reacted, a scream escaped her lips before...Bai Yihuan lay despondently on the big bed in her hotel room, her eyes vacant, her whole being seeming like a broken doll.

She was naked, her limbs bound by ropes to the bedpost, unable to move.

Her hair was disheveled, and her neck, limbs were covered in bruises of purple, red and blue. Bite marks and pinch marks crisscrossed her skin, making a terrifying sight.

All night long, she didn't know how many people came into the room and left.

She went from the initial struggle, to later numbness, and finally apathy.

My body feels like it's not my own.

Bai Yihuan felt her soul leave her body at some point, floating in mid-air and watching silently as her physical form was humiliated.

Kidnapped and injured, she felt utterly hopeless, even wishing she had jumped from a building earlier.

But now, she realized that the feeling of utter despair was surpassed by the crushing weight of being unable to live or die.

From the insults hurled at her, Bai Yihuan knew that it was all because of Huo Chenxi.

Those people thought she was Huo Chenxi's woman and wanted to take revenge on Huo Chenxi, so they captured her and used her to humiliate Huo Chenxi.

Bai Yihuan found it extremely laughable.

It was her initial exposé to the media that led everyone to believe she was Huo Chenxi's woman.

Even though later Huo Chenxi announced at the police station press conference that it was Su He who took the initiative to divorce him and that he would continue to pursue her, in the eyes of others, she was still Huo Chenxi's favorite.

Even, they thought these were smoke screens deliberately released by Huo Chenxi to protect her.

She hasn't even enjoyed the benefits of being Huo Chenxi's woman, yet now she's fallen to such a state because of him.

In Bai Yihuan's heart, an immeasurable hatred began to quietly take root.

And all of these hatreds were directed at Su He.

In Bai Yihuan's heart, she had come to her current state all because of Su He. Now, she wished nothing more than to peel Su He's skin off, shatter his bones, and scatter them to the wind.

"Drip—"

The sound of a room card being swiped echoed, followed by the door being pushed open from outside.

Bai Yihuan closed her eyes impassively, tilting her head to the side, ignoring who had come in.

No matter who she is, she can't escape.

A sudden warmth spread through his body.

Bai Yihuan suddenly opened her eyes and saw Huo Chenxi standing emotionlessly by the bed, his dark eyes staring at her silently.

He wore white and black pants, clean and sharp, while she was disheveled and looked like a flower crushed on the ground.

Thinking she had already become numb, Bai Yihuan's nose suddenly felt sore, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

"What are you here for" Bai Yihuan choked back tears, her voice laced with resentment. "Are you here to watch me make a fool of myself"

Before the first person entered the room last night, she cried out his name, hoping he would appear and come to her rescue. But all she received in return was even more brutal abuse from that man.

What use does he have coming over today

"I'll take you away," Huo Chenxi's eyes darkened, stepping forward to untie the ropes binding her limbs.

Bai Yihuan's tears flowed even harder, she growled in a hoarse voice: "Don't pretend to be kind. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have suffered all this."

Huo Chenxi stiffened, looking at Bai Yihuan with a hint of self-blame in his eyes.

It was his oversight. He hadn't expected Huo Chenyi to actually attack Bai Yihua.

"Ho Chenxi, if you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that my brother will die with regret" Bai Yihuan's tears had dried up, and in the end, she burst into a giggle.

"It should have been Su He who suffered these things, shouldn't it" Before Huo Chenxi could speak, Bai Yihua said softly again, "The woman you truly love is Su He. They should have gone to find Su He."

"I am taking the blame for Dai Suhe."

"Why"

Bai Yihuan roared again and again, her heart filled with grievance and unwillingness.

After a long silence, Huo Chenxi finally spoke, "What do you want I can compensate you!"

Bai Yihuan finally fell silent, her eyes strange, she opened her mouth and said: "I want you, to marry me."

Huo Chenxi didn't expect her to make such a request. Thinking about it, he said unwillingly, "Everything else can be discussed, but this is out of the question!"

Bai Yi's laughter grew louder and louder, eventually rolling around on the bed. She didn't even care about the clothes that slid down as she tried to cover herself. Huo Chenxi turned his back.

"Besides this, I want nothing else!" Bai Yihuan finally laughed enough, sat up and slowly opened her mouth.

Ho Chen sighed softly: "I'll take you back first. You can think about it slowly!"

Without giving Bai Yihuan another chance, he strode out of the room and had his men come in to dress her and take her out.

Bai Yihuan was exhausted after a night of torment and had no more strength to resist.

She stared with wide eyes as Huo Chenxi's subordinates wrapped her in the sheets, carrying her out like cargo.

Huo Chenxi sent her to Tianlong Bay Villa and, fearing she might do something rash, specially arranged for 24-hour nursing care.

Unexpectedly, in less than three days, Huo Chenxi suddenly received a call from the nurse.

Someone broke into the mansion and took Bai Yihuan away.

What also disappeared were Bai Yihuan's clothes and jewelry. It didn't look like she had been kidnapped, but rather that she had left voluntarily.

Ho Chenxi immediately sought out Ho Chenyi and the Bai family, but they were unaware of Bai Yihuan's whereabouts.

As pawns, Bai Mang and Jian Xin had long given up on Bai Yihuan.

And after being reprimanded by Huo Chenxi, Huo Chenyi honestly stayed at the police station to cooperate with the investigation. Where would he dare to act recklessly

Huo Chenxi watched the villa's surveillance footage. Bai Yihua was being pushed away in a wheelchair.

Looking at the tall and somewhat muscular figure, Huo Chenxi's mind suddenly flashed with an image of a person.

It seemed like he could hear Bai Yihuan’s words again when they had found her, saying that she was taking the blame for Su He. Huo Chenxi suddenly felt a sense of unease.

He took out his cell phone and dialed Su He's number.

Before, his number had been blocked by Su He. He got a new one and isn't sure if Su He knows about it.

Listening to the ring in the phone, Huo Shenxi's mood became increasingly anxious, even wishing he could rush to Su He's side immediately.

When his patience was almost exhausted, a crisp and pleasant voice came from the phone: “Hello, who is this”

Ho Chenxi suddenly became nervous, his throat as if stuffed with cotton. Although he opened his mouth, not a single syllable came out.

Su He looked at the unfamiliar number displayed on her phone screen: "I can't hear anything here, so I'll hang up first!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Huo Shenxi's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me."

A deep, magnetic voice, transmitted through the airwaves, resembled the undulating sound of a cello string, captivating and melodious.

Su He frowned, feigning ignorance: "Excuse me, but who are you"

Huo Chenxi's heart felt like it had been struck by a bullet. He took a deep breath, trying to quell the pain in his chest: "My name is Huo Chenxi."

Su He let out an "oh" and asked faintly, "Young Master Huo, is there something you need"in those who beheld it.In her memory, he had never been gentle with her, let alone shown her a smile.How could I have fallen for him in the first placeThe laughter of the baby beside her had turned in...
