"Miss, bad news, bad news!”A young lady dressed as a maid, who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, barged into a room while shouting loudly.
"What's the matter? Why are you shouting so early in the morning? Be careful not to let the young master hear you and scold you!”
Sitting in front of the mirror, Du Xiaohan, who was looking at her reflection in self-pity, scolded her servant girl Xin Pei.
Yin Yi had given her the badge after she entered the Yin Manor. In the past year, she and this servant girl of similar age had interacted like sisters and had long cultivated a relationship like that of biological sisters.
"Miss, things are really bad!”Xin Pei first closed the doors and windows, in case the wall has ears. She whispered to Du Xiaohan," I just heard from the other servants. They said that Young Master brought a woman back last night. I heard that she spent the night in Young Master's room."”
"Oh?" Du Xiaohan wasn't surprised at all. It was common for Yin Yi to bring a woman home for the night. She had heard about it many times in the past year. Now, she wasn't as worried about such things as before.
However, what Xin Pei said next surprised her.
"I also heard that this lady is extremely beautiful! Old Zhao, the gatekeeper, had seen her before. He said that he had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life. I don't think this is false, Miss. Everyone knows that Old Zhao is the most honest person. He never talks big, right?”
Yes, Old Zhao was famous for being honest. In that case, what Old Zhao said was true!
Thinking of this, Du Xiaohan's beautiful face was already covered in worry.
Was the woman Yin Yi brought back really beautiful? More beautiful than her? If that was the case, what should she do?
Unlike those women who married before her, Yin Yi doted on her because of her beauty. Until now, she was still the most favored concubine.
He did not expect Yin Yi to bring back another beauty in just a year. Did this mean that she was about to follow in the footsteps of those concubines who had fallen out of favor?
Xin Pei saw that Du Xiaohan's expression had changed. She, who knew the Miss's thoughts the best, quickly comforted her,"Miss, don't worry! Even if that woman was really beautiful, the most important thing was to win the young master's favor, right? It was hard to say what would happen in the future! If he were to give up now, wouldn't it benefit others?”
That's right! Xinpei's words woke Du Xiaohan up. She hadn't even seen him yet. She shouldn't be asking for trouble. Losing without a fight would only benefit those women.
"Looks like I need to meet her.”she murmured.
Chao Yan slowly opened her eyes. The sunlight that shone through the window told her that it was already dawn.
The bed next to her was empty. The man who had greedily groped her last night had left the room.
The discomfort in her body made it difficult for her to get up. It took her some effort to get out of bed.
"Miss, you're awake!" Ning 'er, who was guarding the door, walked into the room with a basin of water and helped Chao Yan to the table.
"No need, I can do it myself.”Chao Yan gently declined Ning 'er's offer to wipe her face.
"Miss, just let me do it. It's my duty as a servant to serve you!”
Ning 'er's insistence made it difficult for Chaoyan to refuse, so she could only let her wash up for her.
"Miss, your hair is black and shiny. I've never seen such beautiful hair!”Ning 'er exclaimed as she combed her hair.
"You flatter me." Chao Yan only revealed a faint smile. She was not in a good mood like Ning 'er.
"I'm telling the truth!" Ning 'er continued in an envious tone,""There are so many girls here, but you are the most beautiful. I think Young Master must like you very much.”
"So many girls? Are you talking about Yin Yi's sisters or his relatives?”
"No! I'm talking about the girl who was brought back by Young Master like you!”Ning 'er opened his fingers and counted one by one." One, two, three…Including Miss, there are exactly ten.”
"Ten?" Chao Yan was speechless when she heard that. She had guessed that Yin Yi was a playboy, but she did not expect that she was Yin Yi's tenth woman. Because of this, her bad impression of Yin Yi deepened.
"Yes, I am!" Ning 'er, who was only fifteen years old, smiled childishly." Miss, although you are the tenth, I think Young Master should dote on you the most because you are the most beautiful among the ten.”
Chaoyan did not say anything. She was thinking about what to do in the future.
Although she had no relatives or friends at the moment, she could not even protect herself before she regained her past memories. Even so, she did not want to stay by the side of a tyrant who only knew how to use his own money to oppress others.
Even if her innocence was tainted by him, her heart was still pure. He had no reason to occupy her body and heart.
No matter what kind of person she used to be, she firmly believed that she was not a shameless woman. Even if she couldn't return to the life she had before she lost her memories, she had to live an honest life. She didn't want to get involved between Yin Yi and his nine women.
After combing her hair, she changed into the luxurious clothes that Yin Yi had specially instructed someone to send over. The beauty in front of her stunned Ning 'er.
"Miss, you're really beautiful!”Ning 'er couldn't help but say it again.
Chao Yan looked at herself in the mirror, but her heart was heavy.
She knew that she was beautiful, but what was the use of being beautiful? To a person who had lost her sense of self, beauty was not important at all.
Had she ever been praised for her beauty before? Was it her family or her siblings?
Did she have sisters? If she did, were they beautiful too?
Did she have a lover? If there was, how much did she love that person? Did that person love her too?
"Sorry to disturb you." It was Yu Xuan who walked in. When he saw Chao Yan standing in front of the mirror, anyone could tell that he was stunned.
After dressing up, Chao Yan's eye-catching posture was simply too eye-catching.
No wonder Yin Yi was so obsessed with her. She was so beautiful that all men would be moved.
Chao Yan's gaze was still on the mirror. "What's the matter?" Yu Xuan was so loyal to Yin Yi that Chaoyan could not help but treat him coldly. She did not even want to look at him.
Yu Xuan knew Chao Yan's rejection of him, so he continued nonchalantly,"Young Master asked me to deliver these things. Miss Chaoyan, please take a look.”
Chao Yan had no choice but to turn around. She saw a square box on the table.
"This is?" It was a square box painted in vermilion, with beautiful patterns carved on it. It was a rather beautiful box.
"This is what Young Master wants to give to Miss Chaoyan.”
Yu Xuan opened the box, and a dazzling light lit up Chao Yan and Ning 'er's eyes.
" This…" Chao Yan was so shocked that she couldn't speak. The box was filled with colorful and dazzling gems and jewelry.
"Heavens!" Ning 'er had never seen such a thing in her life. She had forgotten to close her mouth when she saw it, and her eyes were staring straight at it!
"Please help me return the things to your young master.”
"Miss?" Ning 'er thought he had heard wrong. This was jewelry, not stone!
"Miss Chaoyan?" Yu Xuan was the same as Ning 'er, looking puzzled.
"Please, Yu Xuan." Chao Yan said bluntly. She didn't want Yin Yi to misunderstand that she was the kind of woman who could be bought over with gold, silver, and jewelry.
Yu Xuan shook his head and said,"I'm sorry, Miss Chaoyan." If you don't want these things, please return them to Young Master yourself. I can't do that.”
"You…"
Chao Yan still wanted to say something, but Yu Xuan ignored her and turned around to leave.
"Yu Xuan, wait a moment!" Chao Yan chased after him, but she did not catch up to Yu Xuan, who was fast. Instead, she met two women.
The person walking in front was a beauty who was about 20 years old. She was about the same height as her, but her figure was rounder than hers.
It was not an exaggeration to call her a beauty. This person's beauty might not be as good as Chaoyan's, but it was enough to make people feel stunned.
As for the person behind her who was dressed the same as Ning 'er, she should also be a servant girl in this residence!
When Chao Yan was sizing up the person in front of her, Du Xiaohan, who had specially come over for a while, was also sizing her up.
Was there really such a beautiful woman in the world?
Du Xiaohan now understood why Old Zhao said those words. Old Zhao was really an honest Old Zhao. He didn't lie.
Bright eyes, white teeth, skin as white as snow, she was truly a beauty.
Du Xiaohan had always thought that she was beautiful enough, but she didn't expect that there would always be a higher mountain. Her confidence and pride in her looks for the past twenty years could not help but waver.
"Miss Han, why are you here?”At this moment, Ning 'er, who had chased after him, asked.
Chao Yan was shocked." Xiaohan, you're Du Xiaohan?”
Du Xiaohan was equally shocked." Who are you? How did you know my name?"
" My name is Chaoyan, I…" Chao Yan remembered that there were others present, so she said to Du Xiaohan,""Miss Du, if you don't mind, there's something I want to talk to you about in private.”
"Oh?" Du Xiaohan looked at the heart pendant beside her. "You mean you want the two of them to leave?”
" Yes." Chao Yan nodded seriously.
"Alright then!" Although Du Xiaohan didn't know what Chao Yan was up to, she still followed her into the room alone.
After entering Yin Yi's room, Du Xiaohan's heart felt a little sour.
Last night, Yin Yi was intimate with this woman here. How could she not feel uncomfortable?
"Miss Du, you should know Ruan Qinglin, right?" Chao Yan didn't say much and asked directly.
Du Xiaohan's entire body trembled. Her reaction explained everything.
That's right, she was Ruan Qinglin's sweetheart, Du Xiaohan.
"Who are you? Did Ruan Qinglin send you here?" Apart from shock, Du Xiaohan's eyes were also filled with strong vigilance.
" It's like this, Miss Du…" In order to make Du Xiaohan not be hostile to her, Chao Yan told her everything about how she was saved by the Ruan Family and why she was here.
Du Xiaohan was naturally surprised. Compared to learning from Chaoyan that Ruan Qinglin had an unforgettable relationship with her, she was more surprised by what happened between Yin Yi and Chaoyan.
If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that Yin Yi would treat a woman like this. As far as she knew, only women took the initiative and Yin Yi was passive. Chaoyan was the first and probably the last person that Yin Yi would spend so much effort to pursue!
How could she not be surprised? It also made her hate Chaoyan even deeper.
At this moment, Chaoyan had no idea how Du Xiaohan looked at her. She thought that Du Xiaohan's pale face was because of her old lover, Ruan Qinglin!
"I think you must have been wronged." She had infinite sympathy for the lovers who were forced to break up." In order to repay your father's debt, you had no choice but to follow Yin Yi…"
"I think you're mistaken!" Du Xiaohan interrupted Chaoyan." I don't know what Ruan Qinglin said to you, but I don't want to hear your words that don't distinguish right from wrong.”
"Can't tell right from wrong?" Chao Yan widened her eyes."What do you mean? Weren't you and Brother Ruan a couple before?”
"That's in the past. I'm Yin Yi's man now. He's the only one in my heart.”
Under Chao Yan's puzzled gaze, Du Xiaohan continued without blushing or panting,""I admit that Ruan Qinglin and I were very close in the past, but that's all in the past. Now that I'm with Yin Yi, I naturally can't think about other men. So please help me tell Ruan Qinglin to forget about me. It's impossible between us. Forget me, it's good for both of us!”To her, Ruan Qinglin was just a person living in her past memories.
Before she met Yin Yi, she loved Ruan Qinglin wholeheartedly. She really loved him until she met Yin Yi.
In the beginning, she had indeed given herself to Yin Yi because of his wealth. However, time had washed away her sadness and made her fall in love with Yin Yi unknowingly.
She was the one who fell in love with Yin Yi. No one forced her.
Whether she accepted her fate or fell in love with someone else, she fell in love with Yin Yi wholeheartedly.
Of course, she felt guilty towards the innocent Ruan Qinglin, but she could not give him anything else.
Therefore, Ruan Qinglin decided to forget about her. It was best for him to start a new relationship. Don't waste your time and effort on her. They can no longer be together.
Chao Yan looked at Du Xiaohan quietly, not knowing what to say. It seemed that both she and Ruan Qinglin were wrong. Although the Du Xiaohan in front of her was still the Du Xiaohan that Ruan Qinglin loved, she was not the Du Xiaohan that Ruan Qinglin knew and loved! The Du Xiaohan that Ruan Qinglin knew about no longer existed.
Chao Yan felt sad for Ruan Qinglin, who did not know about it.
"Will you tell him what I said?”Du Xiaohan asked.
Chao Yan glanced at her and nodded slowly.
"Thank you in advance." Du Xiaohan turned around and left.
"Miss Du, please wait." Chao Yan called out to her. "You should have come to me for something, right?”
Du Xiaohan's lips twitched as she smiled and said,""Actually, it's nothing. I know you're new here, so I came to say hello. Now that I've said my goodbyes, it's time for me to leave. Du Xiaohan didn't want to say anything more and walked out of the house.
She was here to greet her, but her main purpose was to see Chaoyan's true face.
Now that she had seen it and knew that she was a strong opponent, she had no reason to stay here.
This meeting was the prelude to the war between the two women.
At night, Yin Yi, who had not shown his face all day, appeared in front of Chao Yan.
"I'm so tired!" Yin Yi couldn't help but look tired.
He had been busy with business the entire day. If not for the fact that this business was extremely important, he would not have been willing to leave Chaoyan! He looked at her with a smile under the candlelight. She seemed to have become even more beautiful after not seeing her for a day.
This was something that had never happened to him before. He had never been so attached to a person. Today, his mind was filled with her.
To him, women were a necessity in his life. They were the best tool to relieve his loneliness.
But when it came to money and women, he would rather believe in money. Money wouldn't betray him, it would only help him. As for women, hmph, if he had nothing now, he believed that none of the women around him would be willing to stay by his side.
Because of this, he never invested his feelings on women. He felt that it was a waste and unnecessary.
But now, he had changed himself for Chao Yan. Because of her, he was worried about a woman for the first time in his life. In fact, during the few days when he was looking for her, he was so worried about her that he did not even think about eating or drinking.
He never cared if he could win any woman's heart. He would only be close to women because of their physical needs.
However, Chaoyan was different from them. Not only did he want her body, but he also wanted her heart.
He wanted her to belong to him completely. He wanted every part of her to belong to him.
He knew very well that he had been captured by her. Before he obtained Chaoyan's heart, he had already given it to her.
"Come, let me see you." He waved towards Chao Yan, but she was too far away from him, so he couldn't see her beautiful face clearly.
However, his enthusiasm was met with Chao Yan's cold treatment.
Chao Yan did not move. She just looked at him with her big, watery eyes.
Suddenly, the smile on Yin Yi's face disappeared. He looked at the jewelry box on the table and his face darkened.
She actually placed his things here casually. What was she thinking?
Seeing that Yin Yi was staring at the jewelry box, Chao Yan's emotionless voice suddenly rang out,""I'm sorry, please take it back.”
"You don't want it?"
"Yes, I don't want it."
Yin Yi stood up expressionlessly. He had heard everything clearly!
Looking at her beautiful but cold face, his heart was aching. He did not expect that he, Yin Yi, would have a day where he would think too highly of himself.
Even though she had gotten her body as she wished, she still did not care about him.
He really didn't expect that such a day would come for him!
Thinking of himself like this, he could not help but laugh out loud. "Haha…"
He was smiling, but why did she hear his heartbroken voice?
"Come here!" Yin Yi, who had stopped laughing, suddenly shouted.
Chao Yan's heart tightened. Before she could react, he took a big step forward and grabbed her arm.
"Didn't you hear me calling you over?”He roared in a low voice.
Although Chao Yan was afraid, she still said,"You can't order me around."
"I can, because I bought you.”
Chao Yan felt a pain in her heart. She resisted the urge to cry and said hoarsely,"Yes, you bought me, but you can buy me, my body, but you can't buy my heart. Never!”
" Is that so?" Yin Yi sneered."It doesn't matter! Only your body is good. Come, please me with your body." He pulled her into his arms, locked her in his arms, and kissed her crazily.
" Wuu…" Under his intense desire, Chao Yan's painful moans could be heard continuously.
You asked for it, you can't blame anyone else!
After a passionate kiss, Yin Yi dragged her slender body to stand in front of the table. He held her hand against the edge of the table and quickly lifted her skirt and took off her underwear.
" You're going to…Ah!" Chao Yan cried out in shock when she saw the hot, hard object squeezing in. Her body shook violently, forcing her to clutch the edge of the table helplessly.
Yin Yi held her waist tightly, and the angry male symbol rammed into her tight mouth more and more forcefully.
"It hurts! It hurts!" Chao Yan shouted in her heart as she felt the pain of being pierced through.
"If you beg me, I can be gentler." Yin Yi said, slowing down the rhythm.
Chao Yan bit her finger hard and endured it. She wouldn't beg him. She didn't want to bow to him.
She had nothing left. If she didn't even have this bit of dignity, she might as well die!
Yin Yi sneered." Good, you have guts!”After saying that, he forcefully pushed it into the depths of her body.
Chao Yan bit her finger tightly, and the taste of blood spread in her mouth.#
