In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
In those three days, Ye Wanwan spent her time mostly sleeping and reflecting on her memory of her previous life.
Si Yehan was no different from the past. For three whole days, he didn't appear at all. The servants at the house were all buried in their work and rarely spoke to her. They didn't even dare to make any eye contact.
Such an enormous house but it was like a crypt.
Ye Wanwan changed into her pyjamas and looked at the time. She immediately walked towards the yard.
The moonlight was beautiful with a gentle breeze, easing her fear of the terrifying memories of the cage she was trapped in.
This garden actually had a nice view. After all, it had been designed by Si Yehan himself. He hired the world's top group of architects and it took five full years to finish building it in the top location in Imperial City.
It was such a pity that in her previous life, she hadn't appreciated it. She abhorred this cage that imprisoned her and only wanted to destroy it.
In plain sight, she could see a large, burnt patch of grass, an intentionally cut flowerbed and a murky pond… these were all her "masterpieces".
"Wanwan—"
Then, a familiar voice abruptly resounded in the evening wind.
Ye Wanwan looked up from a withered rose in the direction of the voice.
Under the dim light, she could see a man dressed in an expensive and luxurious suit. He was charming and… classy.
She had to admit, Gu Yueze did in fact captivate her.
Si Yehan, that devil, paled in comparison with him.
Gu Yueze stood a few steps away from her and frowned.
Ye Wanwan noticed his subtle reaction, so she took a look at her clothes.
At that moment, she was still in her heavy metal clothes, with a thick mess of makeup on her face.
As her wardrobe didn't have any regular clothes, she thought she might as well maintain her old image. She also didn't want to arouse suspicion by changing drastically in such a short period of time.
Gu Yueze stared at her coldly, his expression filled with disappointment, "Wanwan! How could you degrade yourself like this?"
Degrade myself?
Ye Wanwan tasted these words, mocking her.
In her previous life, she'd given him her entire heart. In order to prove her loyalty to him, she'd made herself dress so strangely and repulsively.
But in the end, all she got in return was him saying that she degraded herself.
She knew that Shen Mengqi spoke ill of her in front of Gu Yueze, but if this man had the slightest affection for her, he wouldn't believe anything Shen Mengqi said.
Since Shen Mengqi was her best friend, she came over often to keep her company. Thus, she could come in and out as she pleased. She even allowed Gu Yueze in secretly.
Just as Ye Wanwan was about to speak, a chill went up her spine.
Si Yehan…
He's here!
She was instinctively aware of that man's presence.
In her previous life, she didn't realize Shen Mengqi betrayed her. Si Yehan watched her in the dark the whole time she cheated on him, marking the beginning of her nightmare…
Ye Wanwan sighed gently, forcing herself to ignore the presence of Si Yehan. She looked at Gu Yueze indifferently, chuckled and asked, "I wonder which perspective you're questioning me from? That of my ex-fiance? Or… my brother-in-law?"
Gu Yueze's expression turned heavy at Ye Wanwan's sarcasm, "Wanwan, I know you blame me, but I was also helpless. Whatever happened, I'm responsible for what you've become today. Leave with me now and I'll take you out of Imperial City!"
In her previous life, Ye Wanwan felt that she lost herself and let Gu Yueze down. She didn't even fight back when he said all those nasty words to her. She was moved when he said she was forgiven and was touched that he wanted to bring her home, thinking she was still in his heart.
She had simply been dumb.
Who knew he was just acting out of pride?
In any case, she was once Gu Yueze's fiancee, but now she'd become Si Yehan's lover. If people found out, wouldn't he lose all his pride?
Just as Gu Yueze appealed for her to leave with him, Ye Wanwan felt a drastic drop in the temperature of the surrounding air.
In the darkness only a few steps away from Ye Wanwan:
The man's expression was as dark as the night. His hostility raged uncontrollably, as if he could crush a man and engulf him whole, not leaving a single trace behind.
Si Yehan's assistant, Xu Yi, was sweating buckets and both legs were trembling.
What a life I have to witness the boss' woman eloping with another man late at night!
Ever since this woman Ye Wanwan had appeared, the servants hadn't had an easy day. Once the boss went into a rage, they all suffered.
And this woman's forte was provoking Si Yehan.
This time, boss' anger would certainly be enough to burn the entirety of Imperial City to ashes!
Xu Yi closed his eyes in despair. He knew even without looking what was coming.
Seeing that Ye Wanwan wasn't moving, Gu Yueze got impatient. He reached out to grab her arm, wanting to pull her away.
But Ye Wanwan quickly took a step back, avoiding his touch.
"Wanwan?" Gu Yueze frowned.
Ye Wanwan replied coldly, "Gu Yueze, did I say I wanted to leave with you?"
Gu Yueze gave her a pitiful gaze, "Wanwan, Si Yehan is toying with you. Why must you humiliate yourself just to get back at me?"
The Ye Wanwan he knew was head-over-heels for him and always did his bidding. Thus, Gu Yueze thought she was just trying to seek his attention.
"Humiliate myself?"
Ye Wanwan laughed like she just heard a joke. She sneered, "Si Yehan is richer than you, more powerful than you, of a higher class than you, and has a better body than you. Sleeping with him once is better than being with you for a lifetime! How do you have the confidence to say such things?"
"You…" Gu Yueze never imagined that Ye Wanwan would say those words. His mood darkened.
At the same time, the man in the darkness with rage like a beast suddenly calmed down.
Xu Yi was surprised and looked in Ye Wanwan's direction.
Why is Miss Ye acting so strangely today?
This is out of character--isn't she deeply in love with Gu Yueze?
She should be happy to elope with him!
Maybe she's playing hard to get?
This time, Gu Yueze was really angry. He warned her, "Wanwan, stop throwing a tantrum. Si Yehan is a vicious, violent and bloodthirsty man. Do you know how many have died in his hands? Staying with a man like him… don't you care for your life?"
In response to Gu Yueze's harsh warning, Ye Wanwan yawned lazily. She glanced at him sideways and replied faintly, "So what? Dying under a peony flower such as Si Yehan, you'd be happy even as a ghost~"
