The clock on the wall pointed at two o'clock in the morning.

Feeling sleepy, Ji Qing tried hard to cheer herself up. At this time, even the servants had fallen asleep. She got up quietly and went to make herself a cup of coffee.

The needle of time spun once more. Just as Ji Qinghan was about to fall asleep, she finally heard the sound of the door opening. She quickly perked up, stood up, and called out, "Yaoyao, you're back..."

The man who came in was tall and straight. He was dressed in an inky suit, which was stained with the strong smell of alcohol. His facial features were deep, like an artist's carefully carved work. His cold and dazzling momentum made many women crazy.

The former Ji Qinghan was the same.

Gu Yanyao frowned slightly. He stood a few steps away from her and said faintly, "You want money?"

There was only one reason for him not to sleep at this time. He had to wait for him here.

Ji Qing was embarrassed by the man's sarcasm. She gritted her teeth in embarrassment and didn't dare to look Gu Shengyao in the eye. She still nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Yanyao let out a slight laugh. His long and slender fingers tore off his tie and tossed it aside. He strode forward and grabbed her lower jaw.

"Then... as usual?"

Her tone was filled with a casual mockery. The man's fingers were ice-cold, and the coldness almost froze all the blood in Ji Qing's body. She lowered her eyelashes and placed her trembling hands on Gu Yanyao's waist. She suppressed the sense of humiliation and fear in her heart and spoke in a low voice after a long while.

"...Yes."

As soon as she spat out the word, a strong force suddenly came. Without waiting for Ji Qing's response, it directly pressed her to the ground. Her movements were rough without a trace of pity.

Gu Yanyao must have drunk a lot today. The smell of alcohol made Ji Qinghan dizzy. She lay stiffly on the ground, at a loss. She could only close her eyes and let the man do what he wanted.

However, the man on top of him suddenly said coldly, "Since you want money, you should be more enthusiastic. Don't be like a corpse, without any reaction."

Her words were full of humiliation, making Ji Qinghan's face turn red, and she was almost drowned in shame. She gritted her teeth and reached out to take off his clothes with Gu Liyao's mocking eyes.

She had been married to Gu Liyao for half a year. On their wedding night, when Gu Liyao had just gotten out of her bed and she had reached out to ask him for money, the relationship between them had been decided. It would only be a transaction.

There was no affection between them. Even if they were husband and wife, they would only respect each other like ice.

An intense pain came from her body. Ji Qinghan grabbed the carpet under her and suppressed the pain in a low voice. This love brought only pain to her. The man ignored her feelings and vented his feelings at will, leaving a hot kiss mark on her white skin.

It was more like a bite than a kiss. There were even traces of blood oozing out of some parts, bringing with them a sharp pain.

Ji Qing's entire body was covered in cold sweat. She raised her head and saw Gu Yanyao's handsome face. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Compared to his usually aloof and noble demeanor, he was even more sexy.

Perhaps it was because it was too painful, Ji Qing raised her head a little out of the blue. However, before her pale lips could touch Gu Shengyao, she was mercilessly dodged by the man. After that, her actions became even more intense.

They hadn't kissed for half a year.

At the end of the day, Ji Qinghan felt as if her whole body had been torn apart. Every part of her body was in so much pain that she wanted to faint.

When Gu Yanyao got up, apart from his slightly messy clothes, it was as if nothing had happened. In contrast, Ji Qinghan was in such a sorry state that she looked like a rag doll.

She endured the sharp pain and stumbled to grab the man's trouser legs. Her face was pale, and only the kiss marks on her face were bright red.

"You haven't given me... money..."
