Yuan Gun Gun returned to Hao Yan Che’s office, and she stood at a distance from him.

‘I’m sorry,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘I was in the bathroom before.’

‘Come here,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Yuan Gun Gun walked to Hao Yan Che like nothing happened. He held her on his lap.

‘Did you cry?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

Yuan Gun Gun didn’t say anything.

‘Did I say something wrong?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

‘No,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘What you said was right. I’m sorry. In the future I won’t do it again.’

‘Then why did you go and hide to cry?’ Hao Yan Che asked. ‘Do you think I’m unreasonable?’

Yuan Gun Gun bit her lips.

‘Talk,’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘I… in your heart, am I an outsider?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

Yuan Gun Gun took a deep breath, and looked at Hao Yan Che’s eyes.

Hao Yan Che was unhappy to hear Yuan Gun Gun doubted him.

Yuan Gun Gun bowed her head, and regretted the question she asked Hao Yan Che.

‘For three years your intelligence hasn’t improved,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘At least you know your place.’

Yuan Gun Gun slid off Hao Yan Che’s lap.

‘I’ll go organise your schedule,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

Hao Yan Che didn’t stop Yuan Gun Gun from going to her desk. He fisted his hands, looked at his laptop and ignored her.

Yuan Gun Gun returned to her desk and quietly worked.

Since that day, Hao Yan’s company’s employees lived on edge. They were scared to report to CEO Hao. Only CEO Hao’s wife worked unaffected. They heard a foolish employee dared to give CEO Hao’s wife a gift, and a love letter which made CEO Hao raged.

At the Hao Mansion’s master bedroom at night.

‘Yuan Gun Gun let go!’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘This is mine,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘Are you going to let go or not?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

‘Didn’t you say it’s wrong to touch another person’s gift?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked.

‘Don’t tell you want to keep your secret admirer’s gift as a love token,’ Hao Yan Che said.

‘What about you?’ Yuan Gun Gun asked. ‘You kept two love tokens from two women.’

Hao Yan Che snatched the gift from Yuan Gun Gun’s hands, and threw it on the floor. He laid on top of her, bit her face and left his teeth mark.

‘Ah,’ Yuan Gun Gun cried out.

‘You dare twist my words,’ Hao Yan Che said.

Hao Yan Che left teeth marks on Yuan Gun Gun’s lips and neck too. Then he pinched her bottom.

‘It hurts,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘You don’t know right from wrong.’

Yuan Gun Gun pushed Hao Yan Che’s chest. He held her hands above her head, and bit each of her breasts hard.

‘You’re bullying me,’ Yuan Gun Gun said and cried.

‘What are you going to do if I bully you?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

Yuan Gun Gun could only let Hao Yan Che bully her.

Hao Yan Che’s lips were about to kiss Yuan Gun Gun’s lips, but she turned her head to the side.

‘I don’t want you to kiss me,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘You dare say you don’t want to?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

Hao Yan Che held Yuan Gun Gun’s chin. She looked at him like he was a kidnapper so he let go of her.

‘Yuan Gun Gun, what do you want?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

Yuan Gun Gun sat up on the edge of the bed.

‘I don’t want to do it with you,’ Yuan Gun Gun said.

‘I can see,’ Hao Yan Che said. ‘Tell me why.’

Hao Yan Che crossed his arms, and glared at his wife. His wife dared to withhold his rights as her husband.

‘I don’t want to do it with you,’ Yuan Gun Gun said. ‘Go find one of the women who gave you the gifts to do it with.’

‘What?’ Hao Yan Che asked.

‘I… I…’ Yuan Gun Gun mumbled.

Yuan Gun Gun saw Hao Yan Che’s violet eyes changed color. There was nowhere else she could retreat on the bed.

Hao Yan Che captured Yuan Gun Gun’s arms.

‘Say it again,’ Hao Yan Che said.
