Gu Tingyuan once said, “If you ever loved someone, you would never be able to escape from her nightmare.”

At night.

The pitch black night enveloped the entire mountainside. Its tranquility revealed an inviolable dignity.

The luxurious master bedroom was silent.

Mu Wan sat by the bed, quietly listening to the messy wind outside the window and… The sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Tonight was the first day she and Gu Tingyuan had registered their marriage. It was also their night of passion.

However, Mu Wan knew very well that Gu Tingyuan did not even want to touch her.

This marriage did not have a wedding ceremony. There was no exchange of vows, nor were there any blessings from family and friends. There was only a small red notebook that could prove that she and Gu Tingyuan were married.

Whoosh—

While she was lost in her thoughts, the sound of the glass door being opened came from the bathroom. Mu Wan, who was sitting by the bed, was so shocked that she was like a startled bird, trembling violently.

She raised her head in shock. The person who entered was an impeccable figure who was tall and straight.

Under the dim light, although she could not see his face clearly, she could feel that the man’s entire body, from inside to outside, was emitting an inviolable noble aura. It was as if the person standing there was a sacred object. As a result, people could only look up to him in awe, not daring to approach him at all.

The man came closer and closer. His perfect and handsome face gradually appeared under the light yellow light, exuding a mysterious quality.

When she could finally see that face clearly, Mu Wan immediately jumped up from the edge of the bed in fear.

She didn’t even have the right to admire the man in front of her.

“I’m… going to take a shower.”

She stood up in shock, her voice sounding a little panicked. It was obvious that she wanted to avoid this face.

Meanwhile, Gu Tingyuan stood still on the spot. His face was cold and proud, like a cold lake without any ripples. No one could guess his emotions at this moment.

Just as Mu Wan was about to step into the bathroom, her body suddenly swayed. Accompanied by that brute force, Gu Tingyuan pulled her into his arms and caught her off guard.

She felt the man’s hot breath on her face. She looked up in shock and immediately met a pair of dark eyes that were as deep as a cold lake. The eyes were like a black hole that could destroy everything. If she was not careful, she would be swept into the endless abyss and devoured by the darkness.

Mu Wan had already taken a bath. At this moment, she was still emitting a faint fragrance.

“Didn’t you take a bath long ago?”

The man approached her. His cold and magnetic voice was filled with a dangerous aura, making her body tremble slightly.

She had indeed taken a bath just now. Furthermore, she was clearly telling a lie at this moment. She was obviously trying to avoid his touch.

Gu Tingyuan was well aware of this, so he was a little angry.

When she met his deep and dark eyes, she saw that his eyes were clearly bone-chilling and without any warmth. However, his hands kept holding her like a shackle, preventing her from breaking free for eternity.

“Let go of me.” There was panic in the depth of Mu Wan’s eyes.

He obviously didn’t care about her, so why did he still lock her up?

She tried to struggle, but he held her even more tightly. His gaze was full of hatred for her.

“Let you go?” A hint of coldness flashed past the man’s cold eyes. “Mu Wan, you should know what your ‘duty’ is tonight.”
