Originally, Ye Ye was just trying to make things difficult for him due to her inner turmoil, but she hadn’t expected him to actually feed her. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she silently drank the congee he offered. After eating, Ye Ye frowned, “I don’t want to stay in the hospital! It’s just superficial injuries; I want to go home!” “Alright, I’ll have the doctor come with us back to the villa!” Dean said. He didn’t like hospitals either! “Back to the villa? No, I won’t go back to your filthy villa! And you think after you hurt me like that, I’d still be with you?” Ye Ye exclaimed angrily, thinking of the things he did with another woman in the villa’s downstairs room, which made her heart ache! “I’ve replaced all the furniture on the first floor! If you’re still not satisfied, we can move to another villa. As for whether we stay together, it’s not up to you; it’s up to me! And now, I want you to come back!” Dean understood what Ye Ye was referring to; he regretted his impulsive decision to bring another woman home, though he originally intended to go to a hotel… Seeing Ye Ye’s car, he changed his mind… “Hmph! I want to go back to Yu’s villa! That’s my home! And I have personal freedom; you can’t force me!” Ye Ye shouted. “Don’t mention Long Yu in front of me! Your personal freedom is bounded by my will! From now on, you can do anything, just don’t make me angry!” Dean declared domineeringly. Ye Ye rolled her eyes; how could he be so overbearing? Do anything that doesn’t make him angry? That was too broad! How could she know what would or wouldn’t make him angry? “You’re overbearing! And we broke up! You have no right to control me!” “I admit I’m overbearing! But break up? I absolutely won’t allow it!” “You told me not to come back!” “But you did come back!” “But you drove me away again! And you even shot at me!” “But I brought you back! And it wasn’t me who shot at you!” They were both acting stubborn! “You, you’re overbearing!” “Only to you!” “I want to go home!” “The villa on the mountaintop is your home!” “No! I want to find…”
“Go ahead and mention that man’s name again, just try it!” Dean glared fiercely at Ye Ye, forcing the word ‘Y’ back into her throat! Dean decided to ignore her; if he didn’t want to die of anger, it was best not to argue with a sick and angry woman, especially when he wasn’t confident he could harden his heart against her! Picking up the phone, he called back to the villa: “Clear out the people who shouldn’t be there, replace all the furniture on the first floor, disinfect, Miss and I will return in two hours!” The person who shouldn’t be there was, of course, the woman he had brought back last night. When he left, she was still unconscious, and he didn’t know if she had left by now, but to prevent Ye Ye from seeing her later, he mentioned it anyway. “Yes, sir!” The old butler replied respectfully, though he didn’t know which lady was being referred to.
Paris, France – Château Mischa
Mischa unexpectedly received an anonymous package from Italy. Upon opening it, there was no letter, just a DVD. Puzzled, Mischa took the DVD back to her room to watch alone. The screen displayed a villa – she knew it was one of Dean’s properties in Italy, though she had never been there… The timestamp in the lower right corner showed it was a few days ago, and Dean walked through the second-floor living room into his room… – There were no cameras in the room. Then, the time showed early morning, and a graceful woman walked through the living room straight into Dean’s room… – Mischa couldn’t see the woman’s face clearly, her heart tightened, waiting for the woman to come out. But – over two hours later, a maid entered with a new, neatly folded bed sheet, and shortly after, left with a changed black bedsheet… – Mischa knew this meant her husband and that woman had finished their lovemaking… She stared wide-eyed, waiting for the woman to come out… However – the maid entered again, carrying a purse, and left less than a minute later… – She never saw the woman who went in come out… The timestamp showed it was around 9 AM the next day when Dean left the room alone… – Mischa’s heart was shattered, indicating the woman was still in Dean’s room… Around 10 AM, a servant entered with several new shopping bags and then exited quietly… When the timestamp jumped to around 11 AM, the woman, now dressed in new clothes, walked out of Dean’s room… – Mischa finally saw the woman’s face clearly – it was her, the beautiful, elf-like girl she had met in Paris! Ye Ye! The screen suddenly stopped, freezing on the exterior shot of the villa, but a sudden, sharp female voice was heard, saying, “Dear Lady, now that you’ve seen this segment, you must understand. This girl named Ye Ye is very special to the Duke, isn’t she? Don’t doubt it’s edited footage. With your capabilities, you can certainly prove it’s absolutely real! Hahaha, how tragic, the love you can’t enjoy as a wife, now bestowed upon a strange girl… Hehe, I sympathize with you, just giving you a heads up, good luck!” After that, the screen turned to static… Mischa slumped on the sofa. Dean had never shared a bed with her until dawn, nor had he ever let her into his room, whether here or at any of his villas… Wherever she went… They always had separate rooms… After crying, Mischa snapped back to reality. No, she couldn’t just sit and wait for doom… Picking up the phone, she dialed: “Brother, help me find a Chinese girl in Rome, Italy, named Ye Ye!” …
