nHe could not understand why this was the case. All he knew was that something deep within him was mercilessly being torn apart.

nHe was unable to contain his fury, which was backed by other emotions – desire, jealousy, unwillingness – that he did not want to identify, from surging forth.

nHe was originally chasing after the Bentley, which had driven away earlier, upon catching a glimpse of an unknown yet oddly familiar young face.

nHe, who had been tailing the Bentley, was surprised to incidentally see Gu Xingze and Yun Shishi leave the hotel together.

nAt the same time, he saw Gu Xingze brush her hair so tenderly.

nThey were so intimate…

nEveryone knew how aloof Gu Xingze was.

nHe might appear gentle and mild-mannered, but, in actually, he greatly disliked getting close to any actresses in the entertainment industry.

nHe was with obsessive-compulsive disorder and preferred to keep his distance from everyone.

nWas this woman the same as the others? She would use any means to rise above the rest?

nThis anger grew as he saw her get into the Bentley.

nShe… Does she really have a husband… and a child?

nThe thought of her being married and having a family made his frustration and aggravation reach a boiling point.

nHe closely tailed them all the way to this apartment complex. When the Bentley stopped and the mother-son pair alighted from it, he saw a man rush over and shield the two from the wind with his outer coat.

nIt was a heartwarming scene of a family. It hurt him to watch this.

nHe took a drag on his cigarette. His slender fingers then flung the cigarette butt out of the window as he slowly got off the car. Bump! The car door was shut with a bang.

nShe was alarmed by his forceful strides toward her and took a step back. Amid all the thoughts that crowded her mind, one firm desire surfaced.

nMust not… I must not let this man take Youyou away!

nShe was worried and scared as she turned around and hastily passed Youyou to Li Hanlin. She passed the house key to Youyou, ruffled his hair, and said with a trembling voice, “Youyou, you go upstairs and wait for mommy, alright?”

n“Mommy…” Youyou looked at her confoundedly and worriedly.

n“Be good, mommy will join Youyou upstairs soon. Youyou must go first!”

nYouyou’s little hands clenched into fists as he pretended to obey. “Alright.”

nLi Hanlin looked confusedly at the scene and hurriedly carried Youyou upstairs.

nHer slender body shivered in the cold gust of wind. She turned her pale face toward the approaching man with wintry eyes.

nMu Yazhe eyed her with bleak and chilly eyes that were as sharp as a sword. It was as if he wanted to see through her frail body.

nHis intense look, which seemed capable of piercing through her, made her uneasy.

n“What… What is this? Are you stalking me?”

nShe questioned him, but he remained silent. He inched closer to her.

nHis intimidating presence overpowered her and held her captive.

nThe man towered over her. His lanky height only made her appear even smaller and weaker, as if she could be crushed by him with a pinch.

n“What do you want?” She widened her eyes defensively.

nBefore she could get into a defensive stance, the man dashed close and pinned her to the wall. He crouched toward her and effectively blocked her path of escape.
