The darkness was hard to hide and the sunshine was shy.

The young girl pursed her lips. Her small face turned pink. She gritted her teeth and said unhappily, “I thought you said that you wanted to use the toilet? Why aren’t you taking off your pants?”

“…”

Gu Zechuan laughed silently before taking his pants off.

Suddenly, Song Qingli felt as if something in her brain had exploded and his actions were out of control. The young girl’s entire body trembled as she ran out of the door.

Gu Zechuan looked at her fleeting figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

If your cultivations aren’t strong enough, you should never mess with the demon.

The light in the bathroom was white in color and the floor reflected the figure of a man standing upright. He took off his clothes piece by piece and when he stepped into the bath with one foot, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

The man furrowed his brows and leaped into the tub, causing the water in the bathroom to splash at least half a meter high. Song Qingli barged in and switched off the lights before entering the room. She then chuckled evilly. “You didn’t expect this, did you? Gu Zechuan, why would I back out? I’m definitely going to bathe you today!”

The light inside the bathroom suddenly turned dim. When her eyes got used to the darkness, she could then clearly see her surroundings with the help of the moonlight.

A hint of helplessness appeared on the man’s cold face. He looked at Song Qingli, who was wearing sunglasses and had her scrawny arms stretched out in front of her. She moved around like a blind person and finally reached the wheelchair after crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.

“Hey, where did he go?”

“Since you’ve turned off the lights, why are you still wearing sunglasses?” Gu Zechuan’s voice was a little colder than usual. It was like the wind blowing through a glacier, carrying low-temperature water molecules. Song Qingli’s hair stood on its end.

She followed the man’s voice and walked in his direction. For some reason, he sounded a little excited when he spoke in his cold voice.

“Hubby, you’ve misunderstood. I’m protecting your privacy. I turned off the lights but there was still moonlight. What if I used the moonlight to peek at your body …”

“You can’t see it but you can touch it?”

Song Qingli walked toward the bathtub and stepped on the clothes that Gu Zechuan had taken off. She couldn’t think of a way to reply to him, so she decided to just go all out.”Stop it with the nonsense. I am going to bathe you since you have already taken off your clothes.”

He was now a piece of meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.

“….”

The girl moved and stepped on Gu Zechuan’s trousers. It was made of very smooth material and there was no friction on the wet ground. Song Qingli lost her balance and fell into the bathtub.

The unfortunate things seem to come true. It was now a couple’s bath.

The sunglasses fell into the water and the young girl was lying on the man’s waist. Gu Zechuan’s face was even stonier than the silver glow of the moon. At the same time, his black eyes were as cold as ice as he looked at her.

“Qingli, if you feel that your life is too dull, I don’t mind giving you something to do.”

There were water droplets sliding down the man’s handsome face and his cold face revealed a hint of hostility. Song Qingli could even feel his entire body getting tensed up. This was the first time she was looking at him so closely. The young girl’s hand was on his shoulder and those tight muscles did not look like something a weak cripple should have.

“Delicate and Firm.” The young girl’s eyes were filled with excitement. Her hand slid across the man’s chest but before she could feel her fill. He grabbed onto her wrist. His hand was like an iron plier, tightly gripping her as if he wanted to crush her bones.

“It hurts … it hurts, it hurts, it hurts. I was wrong. Hey! I’m sorry. Hubby, please do me a favor and let me go. It’s going to break.”

Her coquettishness and submissiveness were of no use to Gu Zechuan. All she got in return was the man pinching onto her chin as he said, “Get out now. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you’ll be locked in the bathroom for the rest of your life.”

His gaze was so menacing that Song Qingli got so frightened that she couldn’t say a word. She wanted to leave but she couldn’t break free.

“Hubby, you want me to leave but you aren’t letting go of me. Are you just saying one thing when you mean the other?” The girl timidly peeked at the man’s expression several times.

“Get lost!” Gu Zechuan let go of her and the girl fell off his body.

Song Qingli walked out drenched. When she reached the door of the bathtub, she turned on the light and her vision cleared up. It was only then that he saw the expression on the young girl’s face. The corners of her eyes lifted and she could not suppress the joy in her eyes. “I will pack my bags and leave the Gu Gardens immediately!”

Her clothes were soaking wet and since she was wearing a white t-shirt, he could even see her inner wear.

Gu Zechuan turned his head and did not look at her. He threw a bath towel over and covered her head. Then, she heard the man threatening her, “Here in City A, it is extremely easy for me to destroy the Song corporation. You better think about it carefully whether you want to stay or leave.”

Song Qingli pulled down the towel covering her head and the smile on her face disappeared. She could no longer hide the anger in her eyes and her two slender arms were tensed up and trembling slightly.

“Mr. Gu, you’re finally willing to remove your hypocritical mask. That’s something that I don’t see very often.”

The man leaned against the bathtub leisurely. There were no emotions in his eyes and he wasn’t looking at her. His fingers were gently placed on the side of the bathtub. He was obviously disabled but he exuded a noble and arrogant temperament, which made people feel intimidated.

His tone was gentle but it was the words that were intimidating. “Qingli, we still have a long way to go, you have to adapt.”

The young girl pursed her lips tightly. When she turned around and was about to leave, her eyes were fixed on the light switch. She was feeling suffocated from the anger inside her and her hands went out of control, flipping the switch inside the bathroom.

“Mr. Gu, enjoy your bath.”

“…”

The man looked around the bathroom which was dark. Then, he closed his eyes and chuckled, “Childish”.

The night sky was as dark as ink, embellishing the stars. The moon also rose high into the sky. Song Qingli locked the door from the inside then placed a glass cup on the door handle and pressed the dressing table against the door.

When she was done, she placed her hands on her hips as she was satisfied with what she had done. “It is impossible for a thief to still break in after all these.”

Song Qingli wanted to give her father a call. She had not spoken to him ever since she came to Gu Gardens.

The girl pushed open the glass door that led to the balcony and nestled in the rocking chair. She took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and made a call.

“Hello, dad. Are you asleep?”

“I’m fine. I’m quite used to this place. No, no. Don’t you know your own daughter? Is she someone who is easily bullied?”

“Oh right, dad, has uncle been speaking to you recently?” Song Qingli always had her guard up against her uncle’s family. Since she had been so badly harmed by them in the past, she would not be repeating the same mistakes.

Father Song hesitated. Why was his daughter asking this all of a sudden?

“Your uncle just gave me a contract today. He said that he wanted to start an entertainment company. Since you will be joining the industry in the future and it’s such a chaotic place, I was thinking that if I manage one on my own, it will be easier for you. So, I agreed to invest in the company.”

“You’ve signed the contract?” Song Qingli stood up immediately after hearing that. She was worried that her father would repeat what he has done in her previous life, signing any contracts given by her uncle without even looking at them.

“Not yet. I still have some work to do. I’ll head home soon to sign it.”

“Dad, I don’t like my uncle’s family. Why do we have to keep in touch with them?”

“Qingli, I know that you’ve been brooding over what happened back then but you have to know that this has nothing to do with your uncle.”

“I’ve never blamed him for my mum’s death. I blame Song Zhiya. She was the one who ran away at the last minute, causing mum to die from excessive blood loss. ” The young girl clutched her phone tightly and suppressed her anger. She had never blamed her uncle for what had happened back then. However, even if she didn’t blame him, she couldn’t face him without being distracted.

In her previous life, she lived a terrible life with her father and this was all because of her uncle.

As she recalled everything that happened in her previous life, her eyes turned wet and she was trying her best to calm herself down.

“Dad, I had a dream. I dreamt that my uncle had transferred all of our family’s assets. We had to escape abroad without a single cent on us. You went to the dock every day to do labor work and when you asked to get paid, they were pointing their fingers at you and were scolding you.”

“I know you might not believe me.”

The young girl’s voice slowly turned hoarse.

“Uncle’s family is very evil. Can you just stay away from them?
