The night wind blew, and the places that he had touched caused a chill to run down one's spine.

"Hiss!" I gasped and struggled.

I suddenly found it hard to breathe. I hit him hard on the arm and forced myself to say, "Let me go!"

"Didn't you want me to touch you?"

"Pah!" My eyes reddened, and I threw a slap with all my might.

Zhao Benyuan stopped moving and stared at me with his scarlet eyes.

At this moment, I finally understood the saying, "A man who cheats is like money dropped on a pile of feces, it's a pity to throw it away, but it's also disgusting to pick it up."

At this moment, Zhao Benyuan standing in front of me, apart from making me feel disgusted, there was also sadness.

When I was in love, I fantasized about my married life with Zhao Benyuan countless times. Five years ago, an accident pushed me to the bottom of the valley. At that moment, I thought that the whole world had collapsed, and I thought that Zhao Benyuan would despise me and feel that I was dirty. Even my father thought I had no sense of shame and wanted to throw me out of the house.

In the darkest period of time, it was Zhao Benyuan who gave me the warmth of the sun, bringing me out of the dark, gradually forgetting the dark past.

At the wedding, Zhao Benyuan gave me a harsh slap that woke me up from my dream and brought me back to the cruel reality.

Zhao Benyuan, who despised me for being dirty and unwilling to touch me, would actually do such a thing to me.

I smiled, so much so that tears were about to flow down my face.

"If you say I'm dirty, then what about Qi Shan?" I threw back my head and fought back tears.

Zhao Benyuan frowned, his face showed displeasure: "Shan Shan is different from you."

Different? Just a sentence that wasn't even worth mentioning was enough to send me to hell.

"Enough?" A deep voice sounded, its tone was calm and emotionless.

I shivered and turned my stiff neck to look.

Zhao Tianyi had one hand in his pocket, and a pair of narrow eyes were staring at me and Zhao Benyuan.

Zhao Benyuan also didn't expect to meet Zhao Tianyi. He subconsciously took two steps back, opened his mouth and tried to explain: "Little Uncle I …"

Zhao Tianyi glanced at him, then walked to my side. He bent down to pick up the coat that was dropped on the floor and gently draped it over my shoulders. "My father wants to see you. He is waiting for you in the study."

He was clearly smiling, but I was trembling all over. Even my lips were trembling.

I swallowed hard and took a small step out of the balcony, which slowly closed behind me. I walked a few steps and was worried that Zhao Tianyi and Zhao Benyuan would clash, so I stood at the door and listened to what was going on inside.

"You don't understand my words?" He could faintly hear the conversation between Zhao Tianyi and Zhao Benyuan.

"Little Uncle, why did you marry her? You already know that she's my fiancee, why are you still snatching from me? " Zhao Benyuan's voice was trembling, and there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Hearing Zhao Benyuan's words, I felt a little upset in my heart.

I quietly opened the door, revealing a narrow gap, just in time to see Zhao Benyuan and Zhao Tianyi, who were talking.

"Source energy, remember this. As long as it is something that I have set my eyes on, those that I have set my eyes on will have your wishful thinking. Don't anger me."

"I hate you. From young, anything that I like and want will eventually become yours. In the Zhao Family, everyone revolves around you, but I am only a negligible existence. After my father passed away, I didn't even have the chance to work for Chenyang Group. Everyone only knows that there's a me in Zhao Family, but no one knows that there's a me! " Zhao Benyuan shouted at the top of his lungs.

"You have no right to hate me." Zhao Tianyi smiled and said in a cold tone.

"You were worried that I would steal your family's fortune, so you attacked me at every turn." Zhao Benyuan's face turned red.

"Even if I give you the entire company, do you dare to take over?" Zhao Tianyi spread out his arms and proudly questioned, "Don't give yourself no excuse to make me look down on you."

"Miss Xia!" A voice sounded behind me and I was startled. I subconsciously shut the door tightly and turned my head over.

Qi Chen stood not far away with a formal smile on his face. At this moment, he was staring at me. "Miss Xia, come with me."

He didn't seem to see anything, but his indifference made me blush and my heart beat faster. The first time I eavesdropped on someone, I was caught, and I wanted to find a hole to hide in.

I followed Qi Chen downstairs. After a moment of surprise, I asked in confusion, "Didn't he say Elder Zhao wanted to see me?"

Qi Chen only smiled and did not reply.

I suddenly realized that Zhao Tianyi wanted to separate from me, so Old Master Zhao didn't want to see me at all.

I waited in the car for a long time before Zhao Tianyi came back.

As the car drove slowly, Zhao Tianyi and I didn't have any conversation along the way.

From time to time, I secretly sized him up. Zhao Benyuan is his nephew, why is he always hostile towards his nephew? Is he worried that Zhao Benyuan would fight with him for the Chenyang's business?

When we got home, Zhao Tianyi and I walked together.

Zhao Tianyi suddenly stopped and his tall body pressed towards me. I was shocked and almost screamed out, "Director Zhao, you …"

His sudden approach made me uncomfortable. I nervously swallowed my saliva and tried to pull away from him.

"Xia Zhen, did you forget what I said?" Zhao Tianyi leaned over me. His warm breath was all over my face. It was hot and itchy.

"W-what?" I stammered.

"During the contract period, contact with the opposite sex is not allowed." His eyes narrowed and his cold fingers touched my cheek.

"I …"

"Don't forget, you were the one who begged me to help you. I don't like women that anger me at all." His voice was low and husky, gentle, but it also exuded endless indifference and coldness.

I felt a chill run down my spine, and nodded stiffly. "I know," I said.

Zhao Tianyi squinted at me. His long fingers pinched my chin and forced me to look up. He leaned over and pressed his cold lips against mine.
