Su Qianxun stared at the neatly-dressed man before her. Not a single crease was on his shirt. She then looked at herself; her clothes were disheveled and undone. He had torn her blouse open in a fit of passion, revealing the bra beneath the garment.
Su Qianxun bit her lower lip in embarrassment. She covered the part of her blouse that was torn with her hand and endured the pain between her legs as she turned around in a daze and left the study.
When Su Qianxun walked past Zi Fan, she could sense Zi Fan’s disdain towards her even though there was no expression on the woman’s face at all.
Su Qianxun wanted to grab some clothes from the walk-in closet before she headed to the bathroom. However, her legs went limp, and she nearly fell when she turned around the corner.
A pair of large hands caught her just in time. Ye Gu gazed at the pale and delicate young woman in front of him. His heart was aching. He suppressed the anger within him and helped her to get back on her feet.
Su Qianxun stared at him and started to laugh all of sudden. She lowered her head, and there was a hint of sorrow in her voice. “Ye Gu, do you look down on me?”
‘What am I to that man? He could just bully me in front of anyone he pleases without regard for my dignity at all.
‘Even though I’m just a tool, I still want to maintain my dignity…
‘Why is he humiliating me again and again?!’
“No,” Ye Gu answered in a very serious manner.
Su Qianxun raised her head and looked at Ye Gu in a daze. When she realized that she had lost her composure, she quickly lowered her head, sidestepped him, and walked away.
Ye Gu clenched his fists tightly. Just as he was about to leave, an incredibly soft voice rang out from behind.
“Thank you, Ye Gu.”
She was grateful to him, even though he merely said that to console her.
Ye Gu’s body stiffened. By the time he turned around, Su Qianxun had already entered the walk-in closet. He felt as though a hand was ruthlessly clutching his heart, and he could barely catch his breath.
‘I didn’t do anything at all, but she kept thanking me. How could the young master bring himself to hurt such an innocent girl?’
Su Qianxun chose a long dress that could cover her up completely. She accidentally glanced at the walk-in closet opposite hers on her way out and noticed that there were some clothes that were meant for girls who were around seven or eight years old. She found it strange.
Su Qianxun put on the long, white dress after she showered. The dress had a high collar and long sleeves; it reached just above her ankles, revealing her exquisite, lovely anklet.
Frankly, Su Qianxun regretted choosing that dress. It was too conspicuous on her, but there were not many clothes in the closet that could cover her up from head to toe. That dress was already considered plain when compared with the rest.
When Su Qianxun walked out of the bathroom, Aunt Qi was waiting for her in the room. Even though Aunt Qi had gotten used to the sight of Su Qianxun’s beauty, she still froze the moment she saw the gorgeous young woman. Su Qianxun looked as though she had just walked out of a painting.
A little embarrassed, Su Qianxun tucked her long hair behind her ear. She greeted the woman in her room in a soft voice, “Aunt Qi.”
“Oh my, Young Mistress Su, you look as though you just walked out of a painting! My goodness, how could there possibly be such a beautiful person? No wonder the young master likes you so much.” Aunt Qi clapped her hands.
“A beautiful appearance won’t take you far in life. It’s more important to have a good personality, don’t you agree?” Su Qianxun smiled coyly.
“Both are necessary… Oh, before I forget—I’ve come to inform you that the young master has instructed the driver to take you to the hospital.” Aunt Qi was nearly bedazzled by the beauty of the young woman before her.
“Really? I can finally go to the hospital?” Su Qianxun was surprised, but this pleasant feeling was soon followed by bitterness and sorrow. She tried hard not to think about the things that upset her.
Su Qianxun could not wait to leave for the hospital. Therefore, when she rushed towards the front door in a hurried manner, she bumped into Long Sijue, who was also on his way out.
