Obviously, her stubbornness and the speed of her words would only bring her disaster. Under the night sky, Long Haochen's face was ashen, as if he would swallow her whole in the next instant.

"Before I drown, I will make you suffer to death. Do you believe me?" Long Haochen opened his red lips, and his ice-cold words overflowed, "It seems that Miss Ye hasn't been taught a lesson enough, and hasn't learnt the slightest lesson yet."

Right after Long Haochen's words, a man in a tight suit holding a whip stepped forward and stood in front of Ye Jia. Ye Jia's heart skipped a beat. She stared at the whip and started to tremble. However, she did not show her fear. She still used her stubborn side to face that man!

He had taken everything from her, humiliated her endlessly, and she must never be so weak again. Because she understood that the more painful it was for her, the happier this perverted man would be!

"You better teach her a good lesson, until she's obedient." Long Haochen's low voice had just sounded when a scorching pain instantly assaulted Ye Jia's body. With a scream, Ye Jia jumped straight into the grass.

Next was the second, the third …

Ye Jia screamed out instinctively, her hands grabbing the dark green grass tightly, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms. However, she did not feel any pain because the burning pain had invaded her senses!

"Long Haochen!" You piece of trash! You will die a horrible death! " Ye Jia cried out loudly. Her extremely loud crying echoed in the quiet mansion along with the beautiful moonlight.

Standing a few steps away from her, Long Haochen saw her rolling on the ground. Hearing her crying and cursing, his eyelids didn't even twitch. No one knew how deep his hatred actually was. Even he himself did not know!

After a long time, Long Haochen took a few steps forward, looking down at her, and indifferently asked, "Tell me, have you realized your mistake?"

Ye Jia was lying on the ground with blood flowing through her clothes on her back and shoulders. The pain made her almost unable to open her eyes. Long Haochen's words floated in her ears, but she couldn't understand what he was referring to.

Wrong? Was he referring to her breaking off the engagement, or running away from it? No matter which one, she didn't think she was wrong! She did not realize what her mistake was! Ye Jia wanted to shake her head, but her head felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.

Even though she didn't reply, Long Haochen could already see the answer on her face. His handsome face was full of violence. If Ye Jia hadn't fainted at this moment, he would never have stopped because he didn't want to believe that he couldn't make a woman surrender at his feet.

Looking at the unconscious Ye Jia at his feet, Long Haochen ordered his men with an expressionless face, "Bring her back." After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the direction of the courtyard. In order to guard her escape, he hadn't slept the entire night. It was time to go back and rest!

Ye Jia was carried back to the bedroom. She didn't wake up until around 10 in the morning, just like before when she was frozen awake. He opened his hazy eyes and saw Sister Ling's enlarged face glaring at him.

"Miss Ye, how dare you! How dare you run away without permission?" Sister Ling gritted her teeth as she said this. Because of Long Haoxuan's criticism, she was simply going to die from anger!

"So what?" Ye Jia looked at her expressionlessly and moved her body slightly. She felt that if she moved even a little bit, the wounds on her body would be as painful as if they were being torn apart. He didn't dare to move around recklessly, and kept his previous posture of lying on the bed, hating Long Haochen to the extreme.

Sister Ling was so frustrated by her words that she started to shout, "What do you think? You obviously want to drag me down to death! "If you dare to run again, I will break your legs!"

Ye Jia turned her face away and did not look at her again. If there was a chance, she would still run away! No matter how painful the wounds on his body were, it was still better than staying here and being humiliated by Long Haochen!

"Did you hear that!?" Sister Ling grabbed her face and pulled it towards her, forcing her to face her.

Ye Jia was pulled like this. The pain from the wounds on her body made her eyes sparkle. She frowned and said, "I heard it."

"Don't let me repeat the same question next time!" After Sister Ling finished shouting in anger, she turned around and walked out. After Sister Ling left, a servant girl with an expressionless face walked over and said, "Miss Ye, let me apply the medicine for you."

Ye Jia raised her head with much difficulty and glanced at her, then laid back down. She was in so much pain that she couldn't wait for her to apply the medicine.

The maid pulled up her tattered clothes, smeared them with medicine, and wiped them on her wounds with no tenderness at all. Every time she touched it, it was like a whip had been whipped on top of it. Ye Jia's hands were tightly holding the blanket, gritting her teeth as she endured the purgatory of pain!

"Please... "Softer." Ye Jia choked up a few times and said.

The maid gave her a sidelong glance, perhaps out of sympathy, and eased a little, helping her to straighten her clothes. He then got up and walked out, and from beginning to end, he did not say a single word.

Ye Jia who could not move could do nothing other than lie down. She unconsciously fell asleep again. When she woke up, it was dark again.

After two days of sleeping and waking up, Ye Jia's wounds were no longer so painful that they were bone-piercing. She could get out of bed and walk around.

What made her feel extremely honored was that Long Haochen hadn't reappeared in front of her for the past two days. According to Long Shengjie, who had secretly come to retrieve the jigsaw puzzle, she would need at least ten days to return from Peace City.

Hearing this news, Ye Jia was overjoyed. Finally, she didn't have to be quiet for a short period of time. How could she not be happy? Although she still had to endure Sister Ling's beating and scolding, she was still satisfied without Long Haochen's help.

On the third day, Sister Ling pulled her out of bed and said gloatingly, "You're the one who asked for all these injuries. Don't even think about taking the opportunity to slack off. Go back to work!"

Ye Jia had no other choice but to endure the pain that was still lingering on her body as she walked out of the bedroom. As he passed through the corridor and was about to reach the entrance to the spiral staircase, he suddenly heard a woman's wail coming from the third floor. Ye Jia was stunned. She raised her head to look at the third floor.

As far as she knew, there was no one living on the third floor. The four young masters all lived on the second floor. But this crying … Ye Jia was extremely confused. However, Sister Ling pushed her away in panic and scolded, "What are you blanking out for!?" Hurry up and leave! "

Being scolded by her, Ye Jia kept her curiosity and walked down the stairs. Sister Ling jogged toward the third floor. After a while, her crying stopped. Then came the sound of footsteps downstairs. It was Sister Ling who had come down.

Although Ye Jia was curious, she didn't ask too much. She walked out of the main room and prepared to go to the laundry room in the backyard. A soft sound of traffic came from the gate. Sister Ling's expression became serious as she stood by the door waiting for the car to get closer.

This was a rule, Ye Jia had to wait. Soon, a dark Ferrari sports car came to a halt in front of the men. When Ye Jia saw the figure getting off the car, her mood dropped to the bottom of the valley!

Didn't you say that you wouldn't return until ten days later? Why did he come back so early? She really hated him to death!

Before she could finish hating him, she heard the servants around her lower their heads and respectfully greet him, "Greetings, Second Young Master."

Second Young Master? Long Yingqi?! Ye Jia was stunned. She raised her head and looked at the approaching person. Was he really Long Yingqi? Long Yingqi who looked exactly the same as Long Haochen?

"Second Brother! Second Brother is back! " Hearing the sound of the car, Long Shengjie came flying out like a gust of wind and jumped into Long Yingqi's embrace like a monkey. Now that the jigsaw puzzle was complete, he naturally became more spirited!

Long Yingqi's gaze was still on Ye Jia from start to finish. His dark eyes showed a trace of surprise. Putting Long Shengjie to the side, he walked straight towards Ye Jia and lowered his gaze to her smooth neck.

Ye Jia was very uncomfortable under his gaze. The second time he met her, he was just as confused as the first time.

Long Yingqi raised his hand, and his slender fingers brushed the front of his clothes, passing by her neck. Everyone present was shocked by his actions. Ye Jia was even more ashamed and angry, she took a step back, avoiding his Demon Claw and cursed, "Pervert!"

Everyone sucked in a breath for her. After all, no one dared to speak to Second Young Master like that. And she, she had simply eaten the guts of a leopard, to even dare to scold the Second Young Master!

"Where's your necklace?" Long Yingqi's pursed lips parted as he asked in a serious tone.

Necklace?! Ye Jia was shocked, it had been so long since she last saw that man still remembered her necklace?! What did he want? As for that necklace, no one knew where she had gotten it from!

Long Yingqi saw her stunned. He smiled at her and said, "Miss Ye, I still hope that you can sell me the necklace. I am willing to offer a high price."

"Thank you, but I don't need money." Ye Jia rejected indifferently. Now that she was imprisoned here and didn't even have the chance to leave, what was the use of asking for money? And this man in front of him, although he looked gentle and polite, had a face that deserved a slap from him — Long Haochen's face!

Even if the necklace was on her, she wouldn't give it to him! She hated that face! He hated him to the bones.

"If Miss Ye does not need any money, you can ask for other requests. I will do my best to fulfill them." As long as she could hand over the necklace, he would do his best.

"Is that so? I want to leave the Long family! " Ye Jia looked at him and made a request. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to leave the Dragon Residence, to be free!

Long Yingqi stared blankly for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to raise this request. After hesitating for a bit, he shook his head helplessly: "I'm very sorry, this request is the only one that can't be accepted."

"Then I'm very sorry too!" Ye Jia shrugged her shoulders. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she turned around and walked towards the backyard.

Long Yingqi looked at her back as she left. He was a bit helpless, but he still maintained his signature smile on his face. What Ye Jia was puzzled about was that although they were born of the same kind of people, they had such a huge difference in personality. One was brutal and bloodthirsty while the other was gentle and refined. She really wanted to suspect whether the two of them were real brothers!
