Zhang Yang spoke about all the little things between himself and Xiao Man, his mouth unconsciously revealing a smile of happiness.
It’s worth mentioning that Zhang Yunying across from him was unknowingly listening intently.
She was no longer in a hurry to remove her last remaining piece of underwear, as she seemed truly immersed in this simple yet profoundly pure love story.
Gradually, Zhang Yunying also remembered that she had once wanted a pure love, back when she was just a freshman.
But it was then that Zhang Yunying met Guo Qiyu.
At the time, Zhang Yunying had no idea that Guo Qiyu was already married; she was captivated by his mature charisma.
Thinking she had truly found her destined soulmate, Guo Qiyu was already the president of the Harmonious Society Management Association then.
Zhang Yunying felt that with her beauty and figure, she should be with such a man.
She admitted that she had always been a bit vain.
But she genuinely wanted to experience a serious love and then get married.
However, at some point, Guo Qiyu’s savage nature began to reveal itself.
He would demand her to perform all sorts of humiliating actions, even make her crawl on the floor barking like a dog.
Even stripped of her clothes, crawling out in the hallway of a hotel.
She became increasingly obedient, and more and more unable to leave Guo Qiyu.
Because without him, she felt she was nothing; everything she had now would be lost.
Not long after, she gave birth to a child.
She thought she could finally settle down, and that all she endured was worthwhile.
But it was at that time that she learned Guo Qiyu had a wife.
From that moment on, she completely lost herself.
Even now, Zhang Yunying couldn’t understand why.
She felt she should serve Guo Qiyu for life, obeying his every command. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI~Fire.net
Including agreeing not to mention she was the child’s mother.
She had struggled and resisted before.
But the results of resistance were terrifying, extremely terrifying.
Suddenly Zhang Yunying shivered, then raised her head, eyes full of envy.
That girl named Xiao Man was so lucky.
If she hadn’t chosen this path back then, would she also have had such a pure, simple love like Xiao Man?
The two working hard to earn money together, just like Zhang Yang and Xiao Man, going to street stalls after payday, eating various snacks, hand in hand.
Zhang Yang didn’t say too much because time didn’t allow it.
But Zhang Yang could tell that his story had deeply touched Zhang Yunying.
So Zhang Yang seized the moment and said to Zhang Yunying, "I know that child is yours."
"I believe no mother would easily give her own child to someone else."
"That beast Guo Qiyu said he would sell her once she reached adulthood. I ask you, can you really bear to see your daughter live a life worse than yours in the future?"
Zhang Yunying’s heart trembled, and tears immediately welled up.
A heart that had been numb for so long finally completely broke at this moment.
Zhang Yang watched Zhang Yunying shaking nonstop, seemingly facing immense fear, and for the first time proactively opened his arms, pulling Zhang Yunying into his embrace.
Although they say that pitiable people often have themselves to blame, Zhang Yunying was indeed a pitiable person despite her faults contributing to the consequences.
Holding her naked, delicate body, Zhang Yang felt no stray thoughts.
Only silently cursing the beast Guo Qiyu, even if he treated Zhang Yunying as his lover.
Yet he turned a vibrant young woman into a numb female slave.
Even wanting to abandon his own daughter.
Zhang Yunying seemed to have long forgotten the warmth of an embrace ; her trembling heart gradually calmed down, and the fear slowly faded away.
At this time, Zhang Yunying leaned against Zhang Yang’s shoulder and quietly said, "That’s my daughter. Brother, help me, please save us. I want to regain freedom and start anew with my daughter."
Finally, Zhang Yunying was willing to tell the truth, and Zhang Yang breathed a huge sigh of relief.
As expected, the little girl was not Xu Mengyan’s daughter.
Yet Guo Qiyu wished to exploit Xu Mengyan’s kindness and coerced her into signing unreasonable transfer agreements.
"Put on your clothes. Don’t worry, I will definitely accomplish what I promised you. I crippled Guo Qiyu."
"As you saw, he doesn’t dare to challenge me. I can take you away."
Zhang Yunying quickly shook her head, "No, Guo Qiyu will retaliate against my parents."
"It’s okay, whether it’s you or your family, I will sort everything out. I was able to bring down Guo Qiyu, and make him dare not even speak; I definitely have the ability to protect you and your family."
Upon hearing Zhang Yang’s assurance, Zhang Yunying finally relaxed.
She was determined to completely break with Guo Qiyu.
Outside, Guo Qiyu seemed unconcerned, even mocking Xu Mengyan, "You are getting more and more shameless now, what kind of man couldn’t you find? Yet you chose a pretty boy like Zhang Yang."
"Zhang Yang has so many women. You’re just one of them."
"What are you after exactly? Are you thinking of having his child?"
"If you turn back now, we could have a harmonious reunion."
"I could even treat your child as my own, and we could return to how we were before, loving each other again."
Xu Mengyan sneered, "That kind of fake love?"
"Don’t be ridiculous, do you even believe the words you’re saying?"
"Or ask your mother and sister, do they believe your words?"
Neither Mrs. Guo nor Guo Xiao’ai spoke up, even they found it laughable to say such unrealistic things at this point.
Everyone could see there was no chance for Guo Qiyu and Xu Mengyan anymore.
"Fine, fine, then sign this contract now and take your daughter and get out."
Xu Mengyan looked down at the little one, thinking that even if she wasn’t sure if this was truly her daughter, she must find a way to take the little one away, never leaving her by Guo Qiyu’s side.
Otherwise, her future life would be ruined.
"You don’t think Zhang Yang can really figure anything out in ten minutes, do you?"
"Let me make it clear to you, this is your child. Ten minutes will be up soon, and if you don’t sign now, you won’t have a chance to take the child away."
"Perhaps Zhang Yang is still having fun inside; after all, the woman I found is quite good, her figure is no worse than yours."
