"Yu was a very lonely person when he was a child. His family had very strict demands on him, and as a child, he always wanted to have a chance to relax. So, he took advantage of his family's in attention and ran away. But, as you can see, his appearance was too attractive, and the traffickers were the first to notice him."
"After following him for a while, they caught him. Yu had learned various martial arts since he was a child, but four hands are difficult to beat with two fists, especially since he was just a child. The traffickers tied him up and threw him into a room, where he was locked up with Lin Ran Yu."
Hearing this, An Ran was curious. "Did Lin Ran Yu save him?"
Luo Ye Bai neither nodded nor shook his head, but continued to speak.
"Yu is a very smart person. He cooperated with Lin Ran Yu to open the rope using the things in the room. While the traffickers were eating, the two of them escaped. But, halfway through their escape, they were discovered. Lin Ran Yu let Yu escape first to buy time, and she herself fell back into the hands of the traffickers."
"What happened later? How did she escape?"
"It was Yu. The first thing he did after escaping was to call his family. They immediately caught the traffickers, but by then, Lin Ran Yu had been beaten to the brink of death. To humiliate her, they even ... took off her clothes."
An Ran was shocked and speechless. This Lin Ran Yu... really suffered a lot for Fu Leng Yu.
"So, is it because of this that Fu Leng Yu fell in love with her?"
"Lin Ran Yu is an orphan with no parents. She couldn't find her family, so Yu simply brought her home. The two of them grew up together, and their relationship is naturally much better than that of ordinary people."
After finishing his story, Luo Ye Bai sighed. "I know this is not your fault. You are also a victim. But, Yu... he is now blinded by anger."
"So, I naturally became his punching bag."
An Ran smiled painfully. "Thank you for telling me so much. I should go back now."
"It's late. Let me take you back."
"Okay."
They didn't speak along the way, and Luo Ye Bai escorted An Ran all the way back to the Fu family's house.
An Ran got off the car and said goodbye to Lu Ye Bai before walking towards the courtyard. She rang the doorbell and the dedicated butler opened the door. As she entered, she realized that Fu Leng Yu had already returned and was sitting on the sofa, staring at her with a cold gaze.
Remembering Lu Ye Bai's words from earlier, she didn't say anything and turned to head back to her room.
"Stop," Fu Leng Yu called out to her, clapping his hands slowly. "An Ran, you really surprised me! Are you so eager to find another man?"
The butler had already disappeared, leaving only Fu Leng Yu and An Ran in the living room. An Ran frowned. "I didn't."
But then, Fu Leng Yu dragged her up the stairs. "What are you doing? Let go of me! Fu Leng Yu, calm down!"
"What am I doing? Heh, you'll find out soon enough!" Fu Leng Yu dragged An Ran into his room and forcefully threw her onto the bed. "You want to find another man, don't you?"
As he spoke, his tall figure pressed down on her. An Ran was frightened and pushed him away frantically. "Get off me! Fu Leng Yu, you're going too far...mmph..."
Her mouth was covered by his cold lips, leaving her unable to speak. "Hiss..." Fu Leng Yu suddenly lifted his head, taking in a deep breath of cold air. The pain on his tongue helped him regain some of his senses. "You dare to bite me?"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, An Ran scrambled off the bed. "Fu Leng Yu, calm down. I'm not Lin Ran Yu, I'm An Ran, I'm An Ran!"
Fu Lengyu's body stiffened, then he punched the bed hard, making a muffled sound."Why is your phone turned off?" Fu Lengyu suddenly asked.
An Ran was taken aback, then remembered, "My phone broke, this is a new one."
"You bought it?"
"...It was bought by Lu Ye Bai... Ah!"
The blanket on the bed suddenly fell over An Ran's head, startling her.
"I warn you, don't mention his name all the time, stay away from him in the future!"
"Do I even have the freedom to make friends?" An Ran's voice came out muffled from under the blanket.
"No, someone like you doesn't deserve to have friends."
...
An Ran couldn't remember how she got back to her own room from Fu Lengyu's room that night, she just remembered that she slept particularly restlessly.
Sometimes she dreamed of her mother taking her to get a shot, holding her tenderly and kissing her forehead.
Sometimes she dreamed that she and Fu Lengyu were trafficked together, and the traffickers were terrifyingly cruel.
Sometimes she dreamed that she was being chased by wild beasts, running and running, and finally falling into a darkhole.
...
When she opened her eyes again, it was already daylight outside. No matter how painful yesterday was, it will eventually pass, and the sun will rise every day.
An Ran pulled open the curtains and forced a smile at the sun. The pain in her wrist and chin had improved a lot, which gave her some comfort.
When she was ready to go to work, she was stopped by the housekeeper.
"What do you mean?" An Ran looked at him warily.
"Young master ordered that you are not allowed to go out from now on."
"What? Didn't I just call him yesterday? You all saw it, didn't you?"
"Yesterday was yesterday, today is today!"
The butler replied in a stern tone.
An Ran gritted her teeth and tried to take out her phone to call Fu Lengyu again, but she couldn't find it in her bag.
"Don't bother looking, young master threw your phoneaway this morning. From now on, Madam should just stay at home obediently. If you need anything, just tell me."
An Ran's face turned pale. What was this? A disguised house arrest?
She didn't eat anything all day and just sat on the sofa, stubbornly staring at the door, waiting for Fu Lengyu to come back.Rarely, Fu Lengyu came back on time, entering the house at five o'clock.
"Fu Lengyu, what do you mean? Why did you lock me up at home?" An Ran rushed up to him as soon as she saw him, her voice trembling.
Fu Lengyu didn't even pause in untying his tie and said verynaturally, "I'm afraid to let you out. My friends can't resist your seduction."
An Ran widened her eyes. "Is it because of Lu Ye Bai?"
"From now on, you'll just stay at home obediently. I'll torture you however I want. Don't worry, even though you're not working, your salary will still be paid. You owe me money, but I'll give you a chance to pay it back."
"Fu Lengyu, you're simply a devil!"
"Is it only on the first day that you have realized this? Congratulations, you finally have a clear understanding of me."
