CH 61

During this period of time, Wan Tong couldn’t have a good conversation with Yu Cheng. There seemed to be a barrier between them, and they were both testing each other, but no one took the initiative to break it down.

Maybe tonight is an opportunity?

“Do you not hate me anymore?” Yu Cheng’s voice was very light, as if he was afraid of startling her, as if he was afraid that the tranquility at this moment was only an illusion.

Out of some concern, he held her even tighter.

Wan Tong found it difficult to breathe in his embrace, but she didn’t push him away.

“Yu Cheng, why did you treat me like that?” She was referring to what happened ten years ago. In the video, it seemed like he had forced her, but according to some memories she recovered later, she felt that it was not exactly the case.

“Because Tongtong didn’t listen.” Yu Cheng said in a deep voice.

Of course, Wan Tong was not satisfied with his answer, and was even a little annoyed. She reached out and brushed away his hand.

But Yu Cheng seemed to know that she was soft-hearted, so he held on to this point and entangled her desperately.

“Tongtong…” The beautiful low voice struck Wan Tong’s fragile eardrum like thunder. It was pleading, tempting, coaxing, “I never wanted to hurt you. Don’t be afraid of me, don’t leave me, don’t look at me with that kind of eyes.”

Wan Tong turned her head away, but she couldn’t resist the charming and lingering voice.

Yu Cheng took the opportunity to tilt her chin and kissed her lips.

The cold but soft lips made Wan Tong slightly dizzy.

He just lingered for a moment and then moved away. He hugged her tightly and buried his head in her neck, but didn’t make any further moves.

Soon, Wan Tong listened to his steady breathing and it sounded like he fell asleep.

Wan Tong struggled around for a while, and then turned him over and used a towel to dry his hair.

Yu Cheng slept deeply, probably due to the effects of the medicine, and his face was a little pale.

When Wan Tong was preparing to leave after tidying him up, Yu Cheng seemed to wake up suddenly and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.

The strong male scent filled her nose and made her feel a little uncomfortable. Although he had taken advantage of her before, it was only tentative actions. It was not as domineering and aggressive as it was now.

“Tongtong, you have to be obedient, you know?” He still whispered incoherently, with his face close to her ear.

Wan Tong pushed away his face helplessly and said, “You’re the one who should be obedient!”

Yu Cheng didn’t open his eyes, but almost reflexively responded to her voice, “Okay.”

Seeing that he looked exhausted, Wan Tong didn’t bother him and simply said, “Go to sleep.”

“Mm.” Yue Cheng hummed heavily.

Wan Tong had been snuggling in his arms for so long that his originally pale face now had a slight blush, but his body was still a bit cold, and under the influence of the medicine, he…had no reaction at all?

Wan Tong began to suspect that there was something wrong with Bai Wanxin’s medicine.

Feeling that Yu Cheng had fallen asleep, Wan Tong couldn’t help her curiosity and deliberately snuggled up to him and felt that area.

It seemed that there really was no response.

If the medicine was the problem, then he should be okay now, right?

At this moment, Wan Tong was caught in a strange and complex mood.

Before, his feelings towards her were so pure that he didn’t even have any desires in that aspect…

Amidst various chaotic thoughts, Wan Tong fell into a deep sleep.

She didn’t know if she had been too overwhelmed, but she felt that her dreams that night were very vivid. Many fragments flashed through her mind, and they could all be connected.

The original owner used to frequently argue with Yu Cheng, but one day, she suddenly accepted Zheng Fan’s confession and became his girlfriend.

At that time, Zheng Fan had just made friends with a group of very outgoing people, and out of a desire to show off, he took the original owner to a party.

After a round of drinking, he realized that something was wrong, that everyone seemed to be getting out of control.

He planned to take the original owner away, but he found out that she had drunk the wine that had been drugged. He panicked and his first reaction was to take her to a hotel room he had already booked, and he also called her protector Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng happened to be nearby, and he beat up Zheng Fan when he arrived.

The original owner woke up feeling groggy due to the drug, and not only did she feel physically uncomfortable, but she also felt nauseous because of what she had seen and heard at the party. She had a heated argument with Yu Cheng.

At that time, Yu Cheng was only nineteen years old, and even the most composed person could lose control at that moment. He sternly frightened her, trying to teach her a lesson, but then two young people got carried away…

Wan Tong saw the scene of Yu Cheng pressing on her again, those crimson black eyes, she couldn’t forget.

The next day, she woke up late and Yu Cheng was no longer in bed. She asked and found out that he had already left early in the morning.

Butler Kong felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was unusual during this period, so he also talked to Wan Tong privately.

He said that in the first few years, Yu Cheng forced himself to live according to her schedule, almost to the point of madness. Later, Mr. Bai hired a psychologist for him, and he improved, but his OCD and cleanliness became more and more severe day by day.

Wan Tong knew that Yu Cheng’s OCD and cleanliness came to be after the death of the original owner, but she didn’t know the reason. Now, after hearing what Butler Kong said, she felt very depressed.

The boss in this world really made her feel too heartbroken.

When she saw Yu Cheng again, he had returned to his usual calmness. He didn’t ask Wan Tong why she went to the bar, nor did he mention the matter of Zheng Fan and Bai Wanxin.

But it seemed that Bai Wanxin was still in his hands, and Wan Tong didn’t know what had been revealed.

A few days later, Wan Tong noticed a social news.

Zheng Fan died in a car accident.

After reading the news, she didn’t care about the department meeting that was scheduled later and went upstairs to find Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng was receiving a guest, but after Qian Le informed him, he came out of the reception room in no time.

Since that night, Wan Tong had never taken the initiative to come to him again.

When Yu Cheng came out and saw her serious expression, he guessed why she was there and led her into the lounge in a few steps.

Wan Tong remained silent for a long time, and Yu Cheng didn’t rush to ask her anything. But the sharpness in his black eyes made her feel guilty.

She actually suspected that Yu Cheng killed Zheng Fan.

In fact, upon closer inspection, Yu Cheng had no intention of killing him during those ten years. How could he suddenly have the urge to do so now?

“What do you want to ask?” Finally, Yu Cheng broke the silence. His voice was slightly suppressed, as if he already knew the purpose of Wan Tong’s visit.

“…” Wan Tong couldn’t ask.

Yu Cheng leaned over and lowered his head slightly, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

“Zheng Fan died,” her voice weakened a little.

“And then?”

Yu Cheng stepped forward, and Wan Tong retreated.

Feeling a bit weaker in her aura, she stopped her steps and looked up into his eyes. “I just wanted to come and talk to you.”

Her voice unconsciously softened.

Yu Cheng pursed his lips and reached out to touch her cheek.

His gaze gradually heated up, and Wan Tong felt as though he might kiss her at any moment.

And she, with a racing heart, was actually anticipating it.

“I remember what happened ten years ago,” she said, glancing at his expression.

Yu Cheng’s body visibly stiffened, and the hand on her face slowly fell away.

“It’s been so many years, and I actually haven’t thought about it anymore. And there’s something I haven’t told you…” Wan Tong looked at him quietly, paused for a moment, and only spoke when he was about to retreat, “Chengcheng, fortunately, it was you.”

At that time, both of them were still young and the original owner couldn’t get past that hurdle mentally. After coming back from the party, she was left with a psychological shadow, feeling dirty, and also feeling that Yu Cheng was dirty.

This is probably also why Yu Cheng later became so obsessed with cleanliness.

Wan Tong didn’t think her words were particularly provocative, but Yu Cheng suddenly pressed her against the edge of the table, his expression slightly tense.

To facilitate conversation, he gently used his strength to hug her waist and placed her on the table.

“What else do you remember?” he asked.

Wan Tong’s face was slightly red from his actions, “Many fragments, and I can’t even tell if they’re my memories.”

Actually, she didn’t want to bring up the past anymore.

“Just let it be, don’t force yourself if you can’t remember.” Yu Cheng said, staring at her pink cheeks and moist lips, feeling dry in his throat.

“Yeah.” Wan Tong nodded and then started talking again, “Chengcheng, I know you’ve been very good to me, and I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on you. I’m sorry…”

Seeing the trust in her eyes, Yu Cheng trembled violently in his heart.

He pressed her tightly against his body, wishing he could merge with her completely.

He never thought she would forgive him.

Since the moment he stepped into the Bai family’s gate and saw her in the garden, he carefully placed her in a corner of his heart.

He had been trying to improve himself to get closer to her. Ten years ago, he was afraid and angry, so he complied with her request when she had a drug-induced episode, even though he had other ways to help her.

Ultimately, she became the way she was because of the psychological trauma he caused her that night.

She was already so scared, yet he still forcefully possessed her.

“Tongtong, I want to kiss you.” Yu Cheng lowered his head in front of Wan Tong, his lips almost touching her cheek as he spoke.

She might’ve recalled some memories from ten years ago, but she certainly didn’t know that he had selfish motives at that time.

And this selfishness, he would never let her know, and he could spend his whole life atoning for it.

Yu Cheng didn’t get to kiss Wan Tong, as Qian Le knocked on the door, breaking the romantic atmosphere in the lounge.

After Yu Cheng left, Wan Tong still clutched her heart, her mind filled with messy fragments.

She knew they belonged to the original owner’s memories.

After that night, the original owner was traumatized and every time she saw Yu Cheng, she would be reminded of the unbearable memories. Sometimes, she would say things she didn’t mean.

Every time, Yu Cheng silently endured it, still blaming himself for his impulsiveness. He thought that if he could have controlled himself, nothing would have happened and she wouldn’t have eventually committed suicide by jumping into the sea.

In reality, it was simply because the original owner couldn’t handle the psychological pressure.

After a while, Wan Tong returned to her department in a daze, with pink cheeks, slightly swollen lips, and watery eyes. Everyone in the department had gossipy eyes knew something had happened between her and Yu Cheng.

At noon, Wan Tong went to Yu Cheng’s office again.

She had remembered almost everything and wanted to clarify things with him, so that he wouldn’t keep blaming himself and putting himself in such a low position.

Because of Wan Tong’s special identity, the secretary pointed her to the direction of the conference room and let her go in by herself.

When Wan Tong pushed the door open, she found that the conference room was very quiet. Qian Le was reporting something to Yu Cheng.

“Although Bai Wanxin was stubborn and wouldn’t say anything, she is indeed not simple. That day, Zheng Fan wanted to drive into her, but his car inexplicably crashed into a guardrail and he died. There are many strange things, and I have thoroughly investigated Zheng Fan’s bar. He didn’t hide any special drugs himself, so the drugs that affected us should have been brought by Bai Wanxin. As for how she poisoned us… it’s still unclear…”

Wan Tong didn’t expect that Zheng Fan’s death was related to Bai Wanxin.

From Qian Le’s words, she also understood part of the truth.

Because of the incident that night when Bai Wanxin made a scene, Zheng Fan’s several bars closed down within a few days and he was pushed to the brink by Yu Cheng again.

Bai Wanxin escaped from Yu Cheng, but Zheng Fan didn’t dare to confront Yu Cheng and took out his anger on her by driving into her, intending to teach her a lesson. Unfortunately, he died in the car crash.

Wan Tong knew that Bai Wanxin was able to escape because of the system, but she still couldn’t believe that Zheng Fan had become cannon fodder so quickly.

“Tongtong.” Yu Cheng’s voice brought Wan Tong back to reality.

She looked up and saw that Qian Le had already left, and Yu Cheng was walking towards her.

“Chengcheng, what happened to Bai Wanxin?” Wan Tong asked.

“Don’t mention irrelevant people.” Yu Cheng’s palm covered her neck and he lowered his head to continue what he didn’t finish in the morning.

Wan Tong was taken aback by his sudden attack, feeling that he was going to punish her on the spot.

But in fact, his body was somewhat stiff, and it seemed not as passionate as she had imagined.

Yu Cheng controlled the situation very well, and when she was almost suffocating, he let her go gracefully.

Wan Tong’s mind went blank, and she followed him out of the conference room and went to the restaurant.

Yu Cheng’s body is a bit strange.
