Jian Han walked along in the corridor of the temple. She was pondering her troubles. She heard the sound of crisp bell chimes in the air. She lifted her head to have a look, only to see a square table in front of her. There was a nun standing beside the table, looking benevolent and kind.

She went forward and saw that there were many silver accessories placed on the table. The designs were simple and elegant, and they were very pretty.

The nun noticed that she was interested, smiled, and said, “Devotee, these few accessories are blessed by the temple. They can ensure your safety, do you want to have one?”

Jian Han picked one of the silver bracelets up. “Can this protect….an unborn child’s safety?” she asked in a soft voice.

The nun’s kind gaze landed on her flat abdomen. “Of course it can, devotee. Buddha will definitely protect both you and the baby, and ensure both of you would be safe.”

Jian Han curled the corners of her lips into a sweet smile. “Okay, I will buy this then. How much does this cost?”

The female nun pointed in front of her. “This is not for sale. It is all up to your heart. You can donate some money for incense and offerings.”

“Okay.”



Jian Han took the silver bracelet. She walked through the corridor and saw that there was a red leaf cherry plum tree out front, and the tree was full of cherry plums.

There was a nun plucking the cherry plums off the tree. The nun saw her coming, smiled, and said, “Devotee, you can also pluck one to have a try.”

Jian Han looked at the green coloured plums and was a little tempted. “Can I do that?”

“Of course you can. It is only just that the cherry plums in this season are not ripe yet. They taste a little sour.”

Sour?

Jian Han’s eyes lit up. She’s been pregnant for one month now, and she had recently developed quite a taste for sour things.

She aimed at one cherry plum, and went on her tiptoes to pick it.

When Zhou Dayuan walked out, he saw her plucking cherry plums. The woman selected one on a high branch. She was not tall enough and could not reach it.

Those female nuns were done plucking, and she was still trying to pluck hers.

Zhou Dayuan looked at her frail, weak attempt. She tried hard to get that plum, looking naïve and silly.

He placed both of his hands in his pockets and stood in place. He noticed when she went out of the door just now and did not dare to follow her out, but this silly woman, she got lost frequently in England, and he was afraid that she would get lost in this temple too.

There were many monks here, and she looked very beautiful.

He would imagine the crazy possibilities.

Zhou Dayuan started to feel good. At this moment, he saw the silver bracelet she wore on her wrist. Her wrist was very slim, and the sleeve of her shirt today was mid length. This silver bracelet was very eye catching on her wrist.

He had not seen her wearing this silver bracelet in the car. Why did she have one on right now?

Who gave it to her?

Zhou Dayuan’s warm gaze turned sinister in an instant.

Jian Han could not pluck the cherry plum that she wanted. She pouted her pink lips and was defeated. Okay then. She decided to pluck a cherry plum that was by her side.

She held the cherry plum in the centre of her palm, and she turned around in satisfaction.

She would wash it before eating.

Right when she turned around, Jian Han saw Zhou Dayuan. She was extremely shocked. When did this man come? He did not even make a single sound even though he was standing behind her.

She looked at his facial expressions. He seemed to be in a bad mood, and his dark eyes were pure and sparkling as he purposely stared at her.

Jian Han also felt wronged. She did not know what she did wrong to make him angry.

She still felt a little wronged. Jian Han cast her gaze downwards. She thought inside her heart, she would control it for a while. After making it through tonight, she would return to Singapore tomorrow.

He could not see her anymore, and his mood would naturally be much better.

Jian Han decided to ignore him. She walked forward and brushed across his side.

But she was unable to leave, because her wrist was pinned down. She had a bracelet on her wrist. He used a lot of strength. He was pinching her and hated that he could not break her wrist into pieces. “Siii!” She lifted her elegant brows up immediately and said, “It hurts…”

She struggled. She wanted to shake his hand off, “Zhou Dayuan, what are you doing? Let go of me. You’re hurting me…”

In the next second, she stumbled, and it turned out that the man pinned her wrist and started to walk, and she was forced to follow him.

The cherry plums in her left hand fell onto the ground in a moment, and they rolled a few metres away.

There was a chill on her back. It turned out that he dragged her into a corner, it was the empty space between the two houses. It was a blind spot, rather concealed, and she was forced against the wall.

Jian Han felt extremely wronged. These past few days, he has been getting worse and worse. The kind of place they were in, it was the place for monks to meditate, clean and pure.

How could it allow for him to do such things to her?

Her right hand was pinned down by him. She was really in a lot of pain. She was in so much pain, and the tears in her eyes streamed down. She kneaded her left hand into a small fist as she punched him. “Zhou Dayuan, that’s enough. Let go of me! What reason do you have to be doing this to me? I don’t like you anymore, and I won’t allow you to bully me again!”

She did not dare to raise her voice. It was also because she was pregnant that she did not dare raise her voice. Even if she was chiding him, her voice was soft and gentle. Zhou Dayuan listened on with a frown on his face, and he knew in his heart that this woman would really cost him his life.

He used his large hand to pin her slim wrist. He could not hold it back anymore and came forward cunningly. He used his long leg to forcefully pin her slim legs that were moving all over the place. He forced her long, slim body underneath him. If she moved for a minute, he would torture her for a minute.

His eyes were a little red, his large hand touched her silver bracelet as he tugged it down. He neared her and did not seek her consent as he bit her tiny snow white earlobe. “Who gave it to you? Say it!”

Jian Han was in great pain. Her small shoulders were trembling. She sobbed as she begged him. “Don’t bite me, it hurts… It really hurts so much…”

The woman in his embrace was gentle like a tiny lamb. Zhou Dayuan pinned her soft waist down as he pressed her into his embrace. He hated that he couldn’t press her into his own bones. He knew that he was done for, he should not have touched her at that time. She was just like opium. The moment he had her, he became crazy addicted.

He knew that he was really behaving like a freaky lunatic right now!

“Jian Han, tell me, who gave you this silver bracelet? Was it Tang Fan?”

“No, no.” Jian Han only wanted him to let go of her. She would answer whatever question he asked. “I bought it myself, I just walked past a corridor and bought it.”

She said she had bought it herself.

Zhou Dayuan regained all of his senses. He let go of her, and distanced himself from her.

Jian Han was free. She took in big breaths of air. Her small almond-shaped face was covered in tears. The tip of her nose and her eyes were all red. She looked absolutely pitiful.

Zhou Dayuan felt his own heart pinched by a large hand. He could not catch his breath. What did he do just now, bullying her like this?

He has not observed her closely these past two days. It wasn’t until he had her in his embrace just now that he realized she had lost a lot of weight. Her slim waist had gotten even smaller, and it was not even the size of half of his arm.

He heard that hugging slim people would be painful to the touch, because it was all bones and would be hard, but she was not like that. Her body was extremely soft, just as if she were boneless.

Zhou Dayuan was in a total mess. He used both of his large hands to wipe her tears messily. “Jian Han, sorry. Don’t cry anymore. It is all my fault. It was all my mistake. I only…”



Jian Han did not listen to him. Her voice was hoarse from crying. Her body moved, escaping his touch. The only thing that he brought to her was pain.

She was afraid.

She was not one person anymore. She was afraid that he would harm the child in her stomach.

How could Zhou Dayuan not understand her thoughts? She was so obvious in rejecting his advances. He kept his hand back, and his entire being looked messy because of the chaos. He looked at her before he turned back to go back underneath the cherry plum tree. He found the exact cherry plum that she wanted to pluck just now. He stretched out his long arm and easily plucked it.

There was clean water nearby. He washed it thoroughly before he came back and stopped before her.

“Jian Han, this is for you. Be good. Don’t cry anymore.” His voice was bitter.

Jian Han really stopped crying because her emotions were too depressed. It made her chest feel uncomfortable. She was afraid that she would vomit. At this moment, she saw the cherry plum in his hands. It was green, and there was a sour fragrance to it. She lowered her gaze and stretched her small hand out to receive it.

He did not allow her to do so, and made her eat the cherry plums from his hand.

Jian Han took a breath through her nose. Her small head went forward, and she opened her mouth to have a bite.

Zhou Dayuan noticed that she took a tiny bite. There were teeth marks left on the cherry plum. The woman’s pink lips were stained with fruit juice. She looked especially soft and attractive. Her beautiful cheeks were bloated, as she was chewing.

“How come you like to eat this? I remember that you didn’t like to eat sour stuff in the past.” He lowered his volume. His voice was extra gentle.

It was because his heart ached for her. In his eyes, this was merely an unripe cherry plum.

Hearing him speak so gently, Jian Han lifted her head up and looked at him.

The woman’s black, almond-shaped eyes were moist. Because she had just finished crying, there was still a bright layer of fog in her eyes. In this man’s eyes, she looked extremely pure and innocent.

Zhou Dayuan lifted her hand and touched her small face.

His palm was warm. The man’s warmth on his body transferred to her slightly cold skin and made her feel comfortable. She stretched her hand to hold his.

Zhou Dayuan froze for a few moments. Her taking the initiative made his gaze go hot in an instant.

Jian Han held his hand, and slowly went downwards, bringing his hand to her abdomen.

The baby has not felt his father’s touch before. She wanted the baby to feel it for a moment.

Because she did not know if there would be a next time.

Zhou Dayuan did not know what she was doing. He curled the corners of his lips using his large hand to touch her abdomen, then he went to the side, pinning her soft waist before he kissed her.

Jian Han was pushed onto the wall once again, and she silently accepted all of his actions.

But it was only because she was really not feeling well. His kiss was like a grey wolf. He was cruel and aggressive as he came in. She felt him touching her throat, and she immediately knitted her eyebrows.

He also left at this time. He cupped her small face in his large hands. The hot air coming out of his nose spewed onto her skin. “Come to my room tonight?”

Jian Han froze and turned her head away.

But she was unable to do so, because just as she wanted to move her small face away. He pinned her back to face him. He was frowning, and he looked handsome and forceful with a touch of rogueness. “You are not willing to do so? Then what were you hinting at just now? When a woman wants a man to hug her waist, you must understand this meaning, right? Jian Han, huh?”

Jian Han did not say a single word. Her face was pale like a sheet of paper, and she used both of her small hands out to push him away.

Zhou Dayuan’s breathing froze, and he was a little angry. He pressed one hand against her small shoulder. He closed his eyes and could not see her, and kissed her directly.

Jian Han felt uncomfortable being trapped. She tried to struggle for a small moment, and at this moment, she heard the sound of footsteps nearby ring out in the air, and there were people speaking.

She was distracted, and there was pain coming from her chest, and it turned out to be him pinching her.

“Don’t be like this…” she gently yet hoarsely pleaded.

Zhou Dayuan noticed that she was reacting a little, and he brought her closer into his embrace. His tone was pampering and joyful as he said, “It is not like I haven’t done it before. A few hours ago, I did the same thing to you inside the car.”

Jian Han’s irises contracted, and she finally knew what he did to her inside the car.

Her tongue was blocked by him, and she felt very uncomfortable. Her chest felt like she was suffocating. She could not control her throat for a moment. She used all the strength in her body to push him away, and ran a few steps away, bending her waist down to vomit.
