CH 59

Yu Cheng stood still stiffly in front of Wan Tong like his acupuncture points have been tapped, his black eyes tightly locked onto her, eager to see something from her expression.

From the initial shock and disbelief, Wan Tong’s face had become expressionless. She lifted her gaze and stared at Yu Cheng with a stiff smile, “Yu Cheng, did this really happen?”

“Tongtong…” Yu Cheng’s voice was strained and hoarse.

He was about to step forward, Wan Tong took a step back. In an instant, his face turned pale, and he stopped in his tracks.

From his expression, Wan Tong could confirm the authenticity of the video. She took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Yu Cheng quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, his thin lips opening and closing, “Don’t go.”

“I want to be alone for a while.” Wan Tong shook off his hand and subconsciously rubbed the spot where he had held her.

Yu Cheng’s hand still hung in the air, watching her back as she walked away, but unable to lift his feet.

He looked down at the phone on the floor, his gaze ice-cold and gloomy.

In the parking lot of the building, Bai Wanxin saw Wan Tong hastily get into the car, and only then did she show a satisfied smile after Jin He drove Wan Tong away.

Today, Yu Cheng booked the top floor restaurant, and from the way he acted, Bai Wanxin knew he was going to propose.

She never thought that such an unapproachable man could have such a romantic idea.

But unfortunately, this proposal was doomed to be a joke.

Bai Wanxin didn’t stay long and drove away.

After parking his car, Qian Le happened to see her car leaving, but he just wondered about it and didn’t take it to heart.

Today, President Yu was going to propose. Such a romantic thing made Qian Le’s heart beat faster.

But when he arrived at the restaurant, he found it was quiet inside.

Huh? Where’s the band?

Why is only President Yu here?

“President Yu?” Qian Le called out.

Yu Cheng was holding a mobile phone, and because of his emotional fluctuations, the veins on the back of his hand were particularly obvious.

He glared at Qian Le with a cold and hostile gaze, “Zheng Fan has returned to the country?”

Although Qian Le knew the anger wasn’t directed at him, Qian Le was still stunned for a moment, “Ah?”

The next moment, he reacted quickly and replied, “The Zheng Fan that we investigated a few days ago? He returned to the country yesterday.”

After he finished speaking, Yu Cheng fell silent again and strode out without a word.

Qian Le realized something was amiss, so he didn’t dare to ask too much and silently followed Yu Cheng.

On the way, Yu Cheng received a call from Jin He, saying that Wan Tong had returned home.

Qian Le noticed that after this call, the low pressure that had been swirling around Yu Cheng seemed to dissipate.

In the steam-filled bathroom, Wan Tong turned off the showerhead and slowly squatted down, hugging her knees. Her mind gradually calmed down, and the self-disgust in her heart was also suppressed.

It was not strange for Bai Wanxin to have the video. After all, she was the Raider.

But there was something strange about the video. Now that Wan Tong thought about it, the video seemed to have been edited.

Bai Wanxin sent her the video, wasn’t it just to drive her crazy, make her hate Yu Cheng, and stay away from him?

So, there might be another hidden story behind this?

She didn’t know how long she had been squatting in the bathroom. When her stomach felt uncomfortable, someone came in.

She turned her head to look and her expression was somewhat dazed. She even forgot that she wasn’t dressed.

Yu Cheng’s footsteps paused for a moment, but he eventually came to her side.

He opened his lips and his voice slipped out with difficulty from his throat, “You’ll catch a cold.”

Wan Tong pursed her lips, her eyes were a bit empty and confused.

Yu Cheng reached for the towel and bent over to wrap it around her, then he picked her up.

Wan Tong was dumbfounded as she let him hold her, and suddenly some memories came to her mind.

In those memories, Yu Cheng was also like this, carefully watching her facial expressions and taking care of her meticulously when she tortured her body.

So it was difficult for Wan Tong to believe that such Yu Cheng would really hurt her and leave such a big psychological trauma on her.

After Yu Cheng put her on the bed, Wan Tong turned her head, spoke coldly, “You go out, I don’t want to see you for now.”

Yu Cheng looked at her profile, slowly retreated, but his voice was still gentle, “Blow dry your hair, if you’re hungry, let someone bring you food.”

Wan Tong lowered her head without responding.

It wasn’t until Yu Cheng left that she slumped her shoulders.

She needed to calm down first.

After Wan Tong changed her pajamas and lay on the bed, she found that her phone had been taken back by Yu Cheng.

However, when she tried to check her email again, she found that it had been deleted.

She closed her eyes, recalling that scene, her head began to ache again, and she fell asleep in a daze.

She dreamed of a villa, a hot party atmosphere, and young men and women naked and writhing together. The scene made her feel sick.

The dream kept repeating, and after waking up twice in a cold sweat, Wan Tong wiped the sweat from her face. Unable to bear the sticky feeling, she got up and went into the bathroom, soaking herself in a tub of warm water.

But while she was enjoying her soak, she fell asleep again.

In a daze, she felt like someone had lifted her out of the tub and put her back in the soft bed.

After that, she had a dreamless night.

The next morning, Wan Tong woke up to find that her sheets and bedding had been changed.

She sat there lost in thought for a long time, knowing that it was Yu Cheng who had carried her out and changed everything for her.

In terms of thoughtfulness, he really scored full marks.

Online, someone leaked that Yu Cheng had rented out a restaurant and filled it with flowers last night, but in the end, his marriage proposal was unsuccessful.

In the photos that were leaked, Wan Tong and Yu Cheng had indeed left the restaurant one after another, and both of their expressions were not good.

Netizens are curious whether the couple had a fight, and some even brought up the matter of Father Bai’s will.

If the rumors are true and Father Bai left the majority of the shares to Yu Cheng, could there be some hidden conditions, such as making him marry Bai Wanxin?

Did Yu Cheng and his girlfriend break up because of this?

The gossiping netizens began to imagine all sorts of melodramatic events, and all three people were pushed to the forefront of public opinion for a while.

Wan Tong received a concerned phone call from her father, and only then did she learn about the proposal.

So, did Yu Cheng really listen to her words and hurriedly prepare a proposal scene for her?

But it was all ruined.

After putting down her phone, Wan Tong looked around the room before heading to the bathroom.

Yu Cheng didn’t explain anything last night, and she didn’t have a chance to ask him either.

Wan Tong washed up and went downstairs, only to find that he was no longer at home, but Father Bai had come over.

She was afraid of upsetting Father Bai’s mood, so she didn’t dare to mention the video or ask him anything.

“Tongtong, Dad won’t be able to accompany you for a long time as he’s getting old. You should live a good life with Ah Cheng in the future,” Father Bai sighed and spoke.

Wan Tong pursed her lips and obediently nodded, “Dad, you’re still young.”

Father Bai looked at her depressed expression and asked in a soft voice, “Did you have a fight with Ah Cheng?”

Wan Tong neither nodded nor shook her head but stared at him with a pair of eyes that quickly turned red.

Father Bai understood and patted her head, smiling, “Tongtong, your temper is so bad that only Ah Cheng can handle it. Look, I haven’t even said anything yet, but you’re already feeling wronged?”

“My temper is not bad,” Wei Tong protested, thinking of the two emails she had received.

Although she was not the original owner, the original owner’s memories made her empathize. Even if Yu Cheng was her protection target, she could not help but have some psychological barriers towards him now.

“Okay, it’s not bad. Dad misspoke,” Father Bai said, recalling something else, “Do you remember the first time I brought Ah Cheng home? Your attitude towards him hurt him a lot, and I saw him become silent day by day. I almost sent him back, but who would have thought that you could get along so well later on.”

Hearing Father Bai talk about the past, Wan Tong’s memories were also stirred up.

Indeed, Yu Cheng had been changing himself little by little to become the type of person that the original owner admired.

However, because he had always been too obedient to her, when he showed even a tiny bit of possessiveness, she started feeling unhappy and uncomfortable.

As Wen Tong remained silent, Father Bai looked at her and remembered some unpleasant memories.

In fact, Father Bai himself was not very clear about what had happened ten years ago, and whenever he asked Yu Cheng, all he got was dead silence.

Wen Tong had been deceived into attending an XG party, and Yu Cheng had taken care of her for a long time afterwards. If she hadn’t suddenly fainted in class, he might not have known what his daughter had gone through.

“Tongtong, Dad has to go back now.” Father Bai’s mood became solemn, and every time he thought about what had happened in the past, he felt very depressed.

As long as Tongtong is fine.

Wan Tong stood up with Father Bai, and was about to say that she wanted to stay at the Bai family’s house for a while, but Father Bai seemed to have read her mind. “Tongtong, although I don’t know what happened last night, I know about Yu Cheng’s proposal. He came to see me yesterday and was grinning like a fool.”

Father Bai said, unable to hold back his own laughter.

Wan Tong opened her mouth but didn’t say anything in the end.

She had also seen Yu Cheng smiling like a fool.

In a dim and cold room, a tall and skinny man was thrown to the ground, cursing angrily, “Who are you people? I advise you not to mess with me, or else I’ll—”

But when his gaze fell on Yu Cheng standing opposite him, his voice abruptly stopped, and his eyes widened as if he had seen a devil.

“Yu Cheng…” he trembled and sat on the ground, shivering all over.

He hated Yu Cheng, but he was even more afraid of Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng approached step by step, and Zheng Fan backed away until his back was against the hard wall.

“Yu Cheng, have I offended you in these years?” Zheng Fan trembled as he spoke.

“I told you, I don’t want to see you in front of me.” Yu Cheng lifted his foot and stepped heavily on him, his handsome face devoid of any emotion, and his black eyes were even darker and colder.

“It was you who brought me here!” Zheng Fan roared. He had seen the news, and he recognized the familiar face.

It was Bai Wantong’s face.

So, by a stroke of fate, he returned to the country.

Little did he know that he would be targeted by this demon as soon as he came back.

“What’s with the video?” Yu Cheng bent down slightly, his icy aura pressing down on him.

“What video?” Zheng Fan was taken aback.

“Back then, did you record a video?”

“I didn’t!” Zheng Fan quickly denied, “There was no video, not even pictures!”

“But someone has released the video.” Yu Cheng’s words were like ice blades, as if he wanted to torture him.

“It’s impossible! It must be fake!” Zheng Fan felt like his chest was being crushed, his expression was full of pain, and his forehead was sweating.

He was all too familiar with Yu Cheng’s methods of tormenting people. Every time he faced Yu Cheng, he felt like he would be killed by Yu Cheng the next second.

He really shouldn’t have come back to the country.

Yu Cheng withdrew his long legs and uttered, “So, who is it?”

Zheng Fan had intended to respond but only realized after opening his mouth that Yu Cheng wasn’t asking him.

Facing those eyes that glinted like a sinister wolf in the dimness, Zheng Fan swallowed and wisely kept silent.

At the same time, he was curious about the “video” that Yu Cheng had mentioned.

When the bodyguards escorted him out, Zheng Fan turned back and said with certainty, “There can’t be any video of that incident from ten years ago.”

He knew that Yu Cheng would believe him because Yu Cheng had personally handled the matter and wouldn’t have missed any details.

Yu Cheng had called him here only to confirm it again.

Father Bai had the authorities release a message confirming that he had indeed written his will.

He considered Yu Cheng to be his own family and believed that he had the ability to take the Bai family to new heights.

Bai Wanxin didn’t want Yu Cheng to continue expanding his influence. She had originally planned to incite public opinion and guide everyone to think in the direction of conspiracy theories. But she never expected Bai Ziyan to publicly accept an interview and generously state that Yu Cheng was equivalent to a member of the Bai family.

For several days, reporters’ calls almost blew up Bai Wanxin’s phone, which made her so annoyed that she had to change her number.

She didn’t dare approach Yu Cheng directly, but she knew that he and Bai Wantong had a very strained relationship now.

She also didn’t dare to openly release the video, although it was true that the incident had happened, the video was indeed fake and generated by the system.

Yu Cheng was now turning the world upside down to find the person who leaked the video. Bai Wanxin wasn’t foolish enough to rush into the lion’s den, she would wait for the dust to settle. She had waited for three years, and was willing to wait a little longer.

Wan Tong was locked in her room every day, never coming out and feeling mentally unwell.

Yu Cheng visited her every day, but never initiated a conversation or got too close to her.

His silent and passive behavior made Wan Tong feel helpless. He didn’t even offer an explanation.

One evening, after dinner, when Yu Cheng came to see her, Wan Tong finally broke the silence.

“I want to move out.”

Yu Cheng seemed to not hear her.

Wan Tong saw him clench and unclench his fists.

After a moment, he finally spoke two words, “Not allowed.”
