Chapter 4: Dying under a peony

Translator: eunimon_ Editor: Caron_

In her past life, Ye Wanwan thought she had lost her direction and failed Gu Yueze. She didn't resist at all when he spat those vicious words at her. His claim of forgiveness stirred her emotions, and his desire to take her back home touched her heart, making her believe she still held a place there.

She had been nothing but foolish.

Little did she realize it was all driven by his ego?

After all, she used to be Gu Yueze's fiancée, yet now she served as Si Yehan's woman. If word got out, wouldn't that shatter his pride completely?

Right as Gu Yueze urged her to go away with him, the air around Ye Wanwan turned chillingly cold in an instant.

Mere steps from Ye Wanwan in the shadows:

The man's face was shrouded in darkness like the night itself. His fury boiled over wildly, as though he could obliterate anyone in his path and leave no remnants.

Xu Yi, assistant to Si Yehan, was drenched in cold sweat with his legs shaking uncontrollably.

What kind of fate is this, catching the boss's lady sneaking off with another guy in the dead of night!

Since Ye Wanwan showed up, life for the servants had been a nightmare. Whenever the boss lost his temper, everyone paid the price.

Provoking Si Yehan was this woman's specialty.

This round, the boss's wrath would surely incinerate the whole Imperial City!

Xu Yi shut his eyes in hopelessness, fully aware of the doom awaiting them.

Noticing Ye Wanwan's stillness, impatience gripped Gu Yueze. He stretched out to seize her arm and drag her off.

Yet Ye Wanwan swiftly retreated, dodging his grasp.

"Wanwan?" Gu Yueze's brows furrowed.

Ye Wanwan shot back icily, "Gu Yueze, did I ever say I wanted to go with you?"

Gu Yueze looked at her with pleading eyes, "Wanwan, Si Yehan's just playing games with you. Why lower yourself like this to spite me?"

The Ye Wanwan he remembered was utterly devoted to him, obeying his every whim. So Gu Yueze figured she was only angling for his focus.

"Lower myself?"

Ye Wanwan burst into mocking laughter as if hearing something ridiculous. She scoffed, "Si Yehan outshines you in wealth, power, status, and physique. One night with him beats a lifetime by your side! Where do you get the nerve to talk like that?"

"You..." Gu Yueze couldn't fathom Ye Wanwan uttering such things. His expression soured.

Meanwhile, the shadowy figure, seething like a wild beast, abruptly grew calm.

Xu Yi blinked in shock and glanced toward Ye Wanwan.

Why is Miss Ye behaving so oddly tonight?

This doesn't fit her at all--isn't she madly in love with Gu Yueze?

She ought to be thrilled to run off with him!

Perhaps she's just teasing him to reel him in?

Now Gu Yueze was truly furious. He cautioned her sternly, "Wanwan, quit the childish fit. Si Yehan's ruthless, brutal, and craves blood. Do you have any idea how many lives he's taken? Lingering with someone like that... what about your own safety?"

Facing Gu Yueze's sharp reprimand, Ye Wanwan let out a lazy yawn. She cast a sidelong glance his way and murmured indifferently, "So what? To die beneath a peony like Si Yehan would leave even a ghost delighted~"
