Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love
Chapter 495 - Chapter 495 Chapter 493 Escape

Chapter 495: Chapter 493: Escape Chapter 495: Chapter 493: Escape Wen Yuci emerged from the restroom to find that the man was no longer in the living room.

Wen Yuci ran out of the villa, circling outside.

All around was an endless sea, the horizon nowhere in sight.

Wen Yuci had no idea where she was, without a phone, unable to contact the outside world.

She stood rigidly on the beach, her blood turning cold as if she were the only existence between heaven and earth.

She didn’t want to stay here another second, nor did she want to remain by Fu Yunshen’s side.

His tenderness towards that woman named Huanhuan kept surfacing in her mind.

Her heart felt as if it was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand.

The discomfort was suffocating.

Wen Yuci took the necklace from around her neck, clenching the ring hanging from it tightly in her hand.

My treasure, what should mommy do now?

Not knowing how long she had stood there, Wen Yuci eventually made her way back to the villa.

Her body was scented with Fu Yunshen’s presence; she showered in the bathroom.

Wrapping herself up securely, she lay down on the bed after emerging.

Days passed in this way, with Wen Yuci going out each day looking for a way to escape.

That day, she saw Fu Yunshen approaching on a speedboat, and her heart flickered with thought.

If he could come here on a speedboat, then the mainland couldn’t be far.

She knew how to operate a speedboat and could take the keys and leave once Fu Yunshen fell asleep.

That night, when Fu Yunshen came to find Wen Yuci, for once she did not resist.

Afterward, he held her as they both slept.

Forced to lean in his embrace, Wen Yuci’s eyes were closed, yet her mind was crystal clear.

The tip of her nose was filled with his scent, a fragrance she once adored as a youth.

Now, all she felt was revulsion.

After midnight, Wen Yuci heard the man’s even breathing, and she slowly lifted her head to look at him.

Moonlight fell upon his handsome and refined face; one so scholarly and gentle, yet upon waking, he would turn into a cold-blooded and cruel devil.

Wen Yuci stared at him dazedly, as if she had never known him at all.

Taking a deep breath, Wen Yuci removed the large hand looped around her waist and silently got out of bed.

She took the keys to the speedboat from the nightstand, then stood by the bed looking at the man for a few seconds.

Seeing no sign of him waking up, she quickly left the room.

What she did not know was that as soon as the bedroom door closed, the man in the dark opened his eyes.

His long phoenix eyes reflected a sharp and cold gleam.

After leaving the villa, Wen Yuci ran towards the seaside, not daring to stop for even a second.

Her heart was racing, very fast.

She feared being caught by Fu Yunshen, knowing that even if she escaped, he would still find her, but she still wanted to flee!

Being imprisoned on this small island, surrounded by seas on all sides, filled her with panic and bewilderment.

If this continued, she would go crazy!

Wen Yuci reached the beach where the speedboat was anchored, climbing aboard in a flurry.

She started the control panel, and in a moment, the speedboat zoomed away.

The screen provided navigation; the Capital City District was not far, roughly a forty-minute journey by boat.

Just as Wen Yuci drove off with the speedboat, a tall and straight figure stepped out from the shadows.

His sharp phoenix eyes coldly watched the dwindling figure of Wen Yuci, his handsome and indifferent profile darkened as if covered with a layer of frost.

The sea breeze rustled his black shirt, producing a whistling sound, and beneath the dim light, his entire being radiated a gloomy and dangerous aura.

A storm was coming tonight; was she seeking death by leaving at this time?

There was another speedboat at a different pier, and with a stern face, he strode towards it.

Wen Yuci had been driving for about ten minutes when suddenly a loud ‘boom’ thundered through the sky.

It was as if the thunderclap intended to cleave the heavens apart.

Wen Yuci’s hand trembled with fear, causing the speedboat to rock unsteadily.

She quickly steadied the steering wheel, glancing up at the dark sky that seemed ready to rain.

With gusts of sea wind blowing, the waves began to grow rougher.

A bad feeling rose within Wen Yuci’s heart.

In such weather, traveling on the sea at night could be extremely dangerous.

Should she turn back now?

She had finally managed to escape, and she didn’t want to go back!

Just as Wen Yuci was about to continue moving forward, a man’s chilling voice suddenly came from behind, “Are you looking for death?”

Wen Yuci turned her head to look back.

Seeing a speedboat rapidly approaching them, her pupils contracted violently.

Fu Yunshen had actually followed her!

Wen Yuci’s heart leaped into her throat.

She quickly sped up, not daring to stop.

Fu Yunshen saw that she kept moving forward, his brows furrowing tightly.

“Damn it, do you have a death wish? Stop right now!”

However, amid the howling wind and crashing waves, Wen Yuci couldn’t hear his voice at all.

Soon, a torrential downpour began.

The sea wind and waves almost overturned the speedboat.

Wen Yuci was drenched by both the seawater and the rain.

She could hardly keep her eyes open.

A boundless panic and fear assaulted her from all sides.

Though she could operate a speedboat, she had never done so under such adverse conditions, and her skills were not that polished.

The speedboat began to sway from side to side.

Just as it was about to capsize, a figure suddenly leaped over, grabbed her wrist, and scolded coldly, “Jump onto mine, quick!”

Wen Yuci’s mind went blank, and without time to think, she followed Fu Yunshen and jumped onto his speedboat.

The moment they jumped on, the speedboat she had been on was flipped by a wave.

Wen Yuci’s heart raced with terror.

Fu Yunshen ignored Wen Yuci, who had tumbled onto the floor; he stood at the helm, his face sober as he turned the speedboat around, heading back to the island.

The weather was severe and even with his good skills, it took a huge effort to get back.

As soon as they docked, he dragged Wen Yuci into the villa.

Once in the master bedroom on the second floor, he filled the bathtub with cold water and threw her in.

Just as she attempted to emerge, he pressed her back down into the water.

His handsome face darkened, as if water could drip from it, “You were looking to die, right? I’ll damn well grant your wish now!”

When the speedboat she had been on was about to be flipped by the waves, his heart felt as if it were going to leap out of his chest.

In such horrendous weather, if she fell into the sea, not even The Immortal could save her!

The thought that he might have lost her made his body go cold, and his legs were still trembling even now.

He was furious, truly wishing he could drown her with his own hands!

Wen Yuci was pressed down into the bathtub, the biting cold water rushing into her mouth and nose, bringing an overwhelming sensation of suffocation.

She had already been terrified on the speedboat to the point of jelly-leggedness.

Now, she had no strength left to struggle.

Just when she thought she might actually be drowned by him, he pulled her up.

Before she could react, he pinned her chin and kissed her fiercely.

“Fu Yunshen, get off me…”

“Wen Yuci, you brought this on yourself!”

After what felt like an eternity, he lifted her out of the bathroom.

Wen Yuci curled up under the covers, and just when he thought she’d obediently go to sleep, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face.
