"I did it on purpose. What do you think?" Su Wanbai cast a glance at Murong Aotian, and wantonly pulled at the corner of her mouth with a pleased smile.
Murong Aotian laid on the bed for a while, minding his own business before getting out of bed, putting on his clothes and leaving quietly.
Su Wanbai stared blankly with her eyes until dawn. A few hours passed, but it was a short but long time. Or perhaps, she didn't think about anything at all, and the dilemma she had never encountered made her feel completely exhausted. After escaping from the mysterious pursuit, she had just arrived in Los Angeles when she met this demon again. Didn't she say that fate was in her hands? However, why did she feel a deep sense of powerlessness? Could it be that this was her life?
As usual, his father woke up early to prepare breakfast. A faint fragrance wafted into Su Wanbai's nose.
"You haven't made scallion egg pancakes in a long time, the taste this time is especially fragrant." Su Wanbai said.
Su’s father turned around and looked at his precious daughter lovingly. "If you like it, dad will make it for you everyday."
Su Wanbai sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV. Her English wasn't that good, so she randomly switched channels. Feeling that it was boring, she closed it.
"Dad, why don't I go find a job? I can't stay like this forever, it's getting moldy!" Su Wanbai suggested as she ate the egg pancake.
"I've been helping you contact the school for the past two days. In the country, you've only been able to get to the third year. Since we've come here, we should first find a nearby school. We can continue learning painting, or transfer to another major." Su Huali said.
Su Wanbai's eyes lit up, the haze in her heart that could not be dispelled immediately disappeared.
If she was going to school, she would have to live in school. That bastard Murong Aotian wouldn't follow her to the girls' dormitory, right?
"Then hurry up and contact me. I want to go today." Su Wanbai said.
"There's no need to be so anxious, is there?" Su Huali did not understand.
"I don't want to live here anymore. I want to go somewhere else. After sleeping here for a few days, I have nightmares every night. Su Wanbai's face was gloomy.
"Well, I'll go out and look for a house after dinner, and I didn't intend to stay here much longer. Young Master Jin gave us a place to stay because he had good intentions. Su’s father had a short temper. He randomly scooped up a few mouthfuls of porridge and hurriedly left the room.
Three hours later, the Su’s father returned with dust all over his body. He said that he had found a house, beside an art institute on the outskirts of the city. He also went to the Academy of Fine Arts to find out that they still had a job placement there. Most probably, due to his lack of fame, as long as he were to submit an application for the academy, if there were no mishaps, he would be able to approve it quickly. However, there was one thing that was unfortunate. They did not provide lodging, as the students were all students who were travelling by foot.
"Let's move now. We don't have much luggage anyway." Su Wanbai's heart was in too much of a rush, even her father was suspicious.
"Child, you don't have to be in such a hurry, do you? as if there were a devil in this house. " Su Huali patted his daughter's head and said half-jokingly.
Su Wanbai lowered her head in silence. How could his father know that there was indeed a man in this house more terrifying than the devil? Like a ghost, he drifted up every night to plunder and possess her. If the first time had been like being bitten by a dog, then the later two times, she had completely lost all of her dignity. She had been reduced to a debauchery, a puppet at the mercy of others, and she shuddered at the thought.
Su Wanbai and her father packed their luggage briefly and got a taxi to leave.
Neither of them noticed that a black limousine was following them about fifty meters behind.
It was a small house facing the street. In the country, it could be considered the smallest two rooms and a hall. However, there was an extra seven to eight square meters of yard. The landlady was a very good-natured middle-aged woman, but she was well-kept and looked very charming. She was careful to give them the details of the nearest post office, even the location of which was written in a notebook.
After everything was settled, Su Huali brought his daughter to the Academy of Fine Arts. It was already five in the afternoon after he had filled out the application and completed all the trivial formalities. Su Wanbai was so hungry that his stomach was growling. She casually bought some food from a nearby store and brought it home to eat with his father.
"I followed the third grade to class. I didn't have any credits before, so I had to take more lessons this semester. I'm afraid that you'll have to be alone in the future. I can't accompany you any longer. " Su Wanbai was depressed when she thought of her heavy studies.
There were foreigners everywhere, and Dad didn't know anything about English. He couldn't even go out and talk to people. But there was nothing to do at home all day, what a worry!
"If I feel bored I'll go to that bookstore and read a book and play chess with my boss or something. The last time he told me that he played Go very well, just in time to compete with him. "Or perhaps, I'll go find a job. After all, our financial situation is limited, and I'm afraid that we'll be left without a job in the future." Su Huali said.
"I saw that on TV yesterday, there was a square nearby. There were quite a few people painting there to earn money. I think I can do it." Su Wanbai was actually quite considerate.
She also knew their current situation. There would be more places to spend money in the future. His father's income these few years was limited. He had spent a lot of money on her studies and painting to go to university, so he didn't have much left in his meager family fortune. At that time, Jin Yichen had tried to give her a gold card that she could swipe limitlessly, but she didn't want to do anything. Having broken up, even if she was a friend, she couldn't keep asking for it forever. She also had her pride and pride.
"How can I let you go out and work? Dad can do that." Tomorrow I'll go to the bookstore owner and see if he can help me find a suitable job. " After Su Huali finished the last mouthful of rice, he said with a smile.
When night fell, Su Wanbai sat on a rocking chair in the small courtyard and listened to music. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her jet-black hair fluttered in the night wind.
"Miss Su!" The radio's volume was not high, so Su Wanbai woke up from her half asleep half awake state.
"Why are you here again?" Su Wanbai turned her head to look at the window in her father's room.
"Every time I ask such a question, can I get something new?" Murong Aotian carried Su Wanbai and let her sit on his lap.
"Let go of me, you damn scoundrel! Damn pervert!" Su Wanbai used her strength to beat Murong Aotian's chest.
"Do you want Daddy to hear it?" Murong Aotian said in a deep voice.
Su Wanbai turned her head in panic once again. She gritted her teeth as she silently endured Murong Aotian's frantic kiss.
Murong Aotian hugged Su Wanbai to his chest and walked towards her room with large strides.
When he gently placed her on the bed, his eyes never left her for a moment. He undid his tie, then the buttons on his shirt, then his trousers. His clothes were thrown on the ground, and his wheat colored skin and six pieces of abs of his flesh were exposed in front of Su Wanbai.
"You must let me go today!" Su Wanbai clenched her teeth, and looked at Murong Aotian like he was his mortal enemy.
"Why?" Murong Aotian sniffed, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
"I'm on leave." This was the only reason Su Wanbai could think of right now. If Murong Aotian still had a sliver of humanity left, she wouldn't dare to try again.
"Why can't I believe it? I want to check it myself. " Murong Aotian said as he prepared to untie Su Wanbai's belt.
"Can you be any more shameless?" Su Wanbai grabbed Murong Aotian's wrist, wishing he could break it.
Murong Aotian's eyes became misty and confused. Maybe what this woman said was true. After hesitating for a moment, he still threw Su Wanbai onto the bed. However, he only embraced her gently as the hot air sprayed onto her white face and neck. Half an hour had passed and he had not taken any further action, which surprised Su Wanbai quite a bit. He thought that his lie would soon be exposed. After all, if she lied to him, he would be even more reckless and punish her harshly.
He was like a tree vine wrapped around her body, preventing Su Wanbai from moving even the slightest bit.
He seemed tired, and in a moment he was asleep. Initially, she thought that the other party would be snoring. Who knew that after he fell asleep, he would be so quiet that it would cause anyone to be surprised. Su Wanbai was held tightly, and after a long while, she was still not sleepy at all. She tried to move it, but Murong Aotian turned his body. With the huge weight shifting, Su Wanbai felt that her breathing had become much smoother.
She quietly sat up, and just as she was about to get off the bed, a cold voice came over: "Where are you going?"
Su Wanbai was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground: "You're not asleep? Can't you go to the toilet? "
Su Wanbai slowly walked out and returned after a long time.
Murong Aotian sat crossed legged on the corner of the bed, his eyes staring blankly.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Su Wanbai rolled her eyes at him in disgust and laid down on her own bed.
"I'll be home tomorrow." Murong Aotian said thoughtlessly.
"This is great news for me. You shouldn't have come at all. What exactly do your Murong Group do? How can a CEO like you be so free? Don't you have any official matters to attend to? You'd better disappear from my sight at once, and never appear again! " Su Wanbai's heart was in ecstasy, and she started to talk.
"What else do you want to say?" Murong Aotian moved closer to Su Wanbai with interest, wanting to hug his shoulders.
Su Wanbai subconsciously moved a little further away, half his body looking like it was about to fall off the bed. With a swipe of her hand, Su Wanbai smashed into his broad chest. Su Wanbai could not help but struggle, but the more she struggled, the tighter Murong Aotian hugged. Su Wanbai was helpless. She knew that she could not defeat Murong Aotian, so she simply stopped moving and let him hug her like this.
"Let's chat." Murong Aotian lightly pecked Su Wanbai's face.
"Are you leaving or not?" Su Wanbai glared at him angrily. If looks could kill, she would have long delayed this damned man a hundred times.
