Chapter 89

Then he found Ye Mu.

Ye Mu had all the qualities one could desire from his appearance. He smiled beautifully and cutely, was elegant, had good taste, and was studying music, his passion. He could play the piano and sing well. Apart from being a little arrogant, he was the ideal candidate for his fiancée in his mind.

He used to think he was very lucky to find someone who liked him for who he was, not for any extras, but later realized it was a joke.

So his soul was twisted by the hurt.

For several years, all he thought about was revenge, and with his abilities, it was easy to achieve. The Ye family loved money and face, and over the years, he had completely drained the Ye family. Now, with just a flick of his finger, the Ye family would collapse like a house of cards.

And now, he realized the qualities of his neglected and mistreated partner.

This person, who hadn’t made any major mistakes in framing him at the beginning, could even be considered a victim. Over the past five years, he had only been a partner, but had not received any benefits from being with him. Huo Youcheng had not given him money, not even a small gift. While his other lovers could get money or even houses, Ye Zhi had received nothing from him, and he never complained or asked for anything.

When his parents left, taking all the servants with them, Ye Zhi was still able to live on his own abilities, and the house had never been dirty or messy. He also got along well with Huo Ran.

Huo Youcheng’s view of him changed, and he had the thought that this person was the right one.

Ye Zhi tied the apron around his waist, making his slender waist even more apparent. The knot hung on his rounded buttocks, swaying with his movements, as if his butt was also swaying, making Huo Youcheng feel a little dry in his mouth.

His desire was ignited, and he no longer restrained himself from walking over. His footsteps were too loud, and Ye Zhi sensed it when he was about to embrace him, turning around and seeing him, instinctively taking two steps back.

Huo Youcheng noticed his movement, frowned, and said in a displeased tone, “How long are you going to hide?”

Yes, he was hiding.

Ye Zhi was avoiding him.

For the past few days, Ye Zhi had been relying on Huo Ran’s “help” to avoid letting him touch him. Of course, Huo Youcheng knew the reason. Their past sexual encounters had intentionally been too rough, and Ye Zhi not only didn’t experience any pleasure from it but often got injured, even running a high fever several times the next day. Huo Youcheng used to order himself not to be soft-hearted, because this was “punishment” and “release,” but now, thinking back, he felt a little guilty, so he went along with Ye Zhi’s wishes and didn’t force him.

But now he had reached his limit.

After his temperament changed, he never suppressed his desires. This rare period of abstinence had been too long, and seeing Ye Zhi in front of him every day, someone he used to find dull and repulsive, now he found increasingly endearing and irresistible, so he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Avoiding his gaze, Ye Zhi tightened the dishcloth in his hand and whispered, “It was Ranran’s request.”

Huo Youcheng glared at him. “Don’t use Ranran as an excuse. Clearly, you’re unwilling yourself!” He walked closer, and because of his height and imposing aura, Ye Zhi seemed even more delicate and small. “Don’t forget, you’re my partner, and you should fulfill your duty as a wife.”

Ye Zhi’s back stiffened, and he tried to squeeze out his voice, “But I have to take care of Ranran. If I can’t get out of bed, I won’t be able to take care of her.”

Huo Youcheng heard this and relaxed his furrowed brow a bit, feeling a twinge of guilt again. His tone softened slightly. “I won’t push you to that extent again.” He lowered his head, looking closely at Ye Zhi’s eyes and pretending to threaten, “Or would you prefer your husband to spend the night elsewhere?”

Even at such close proximity, he couldn’t see any emotion in Ye Zhi’s eyes, as if there was nothing except nervousness. This made him even angrier, and almost exploded at Ye Zhi’s next words.

“You can do whatever you want.”

A very weak voice, with a hint of caution.

But the sincere meaning behind it was strong.

Huo Youcheng was almost about to explode with anger, sneering, “So you’re already used to me finding other lovers, aren’t you? Is this another trick your mother taught you? To make you appear more magnanimous? Thinking it would please me more?”

Huo Youcheng getting angry at him was normal, so Ye Zhi immediately said, “I’m sorry.”
