Chapter 496: Chapter 494: Sudden Change, He Feels Like He’s About to Lose Her Chapter 496: Chapter 494: Sudden Change, He Feels Like He’s About to Lose Her “Fu Yunshen, you’re nothing but a beast, a devil!”

After a sleepless night, her eyes were bloodshot, and her throat burned with pain, making her voice incredibly hoarse.

Fu Yunshen touched the handsome face she had struck, his narrow phoenix eyes darkening with menace, “Ci Ci, I told you to behave, yet you chose not to be good.”

Wen Yuci glared at the man with hatred, her heart aching unbearably.

He already had a wife and children abroad, so why did he still humiliate and hurt her like this?

In front of him, she had been sufficiently humbled and compliant, what more could he be dissatisfied with?

Did he have to trample her dignity into the dust before he was appeased?

“Fu Yunshen, being with you now, I truly feel life is worse than death!”

Upon hearing her words, Fu Yunshen’s breathing suddenly grew heavier.

He clenched his hand into a fist and swung it fiercely towards her.

With that punch, he might have broken her nasal bone.

Wen Yuci felt the sharp wind of the fist and instinctively closed her eyes.

Just when she thought the heavy blow would land on her face, a loud bang resonated beside her ear.

The man’s fist had crashed into the bedpost behind her.

Wen Yuci opened her eyes to see the skin on the back of the man’s hand was broken, and blood trickled out.

His handsome face was devoid of any expression, as if he couldn’t feel the pain, his narrow phoenix eyes staring at her sharply and coldly.

“Even in death, you wouldn’t want to stay by my side?”

A chilling aura radiated from him, menacing and dangerous.

Wen Yuci’s long lashes trembled, too frightened to utter a word under his ominous presence.

Fu Yunshen’s handsome face came closer, his thin lips curling into a bloodthirsty smile, “If you hate me, why don’t you live well?”

“When the day comes that I’m ruined and have nothing, won’t you be pleased?”

The man’s fingers touched her cheek, wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Wen Yuci shuddered, her voice hoarse, “Fu Yunshen, why have you become like this?”

“Why have I become like this?” A cold laugh emerged from Fu Yunshen’s throat, “It’s all because of what the Wen family has forced me to endure!”

He bit down hard on her neck, and Wen Yuci could no longer bear such treatment. Already weak, her vision darkened, and she fainted.

Wen Yuci had a fever, her whole body burning up.

Fu Yunshen called a doctor.

In just two days, she had lost a lot of weight, the veins on the back of her hand clearly visible.

After the doctor prescribed medicine, Fu Yunshen stayed by her bedside.

In her sleep, she always furrowed her brows as if carrying an unbearable sorrow.

Fu Yunshen kept changing the towel on her forehead, and when she couldn’t swallow the medicine, he fed it to her with his mouth.

He rarely took care of anyone, and she was the first.

When they were younger, she was very precious; a little coquetry from her would leave him helpless.

He still remembered the first time they crossed the line, how she clung to him crying, saying she was going to die and he would never find another girlfriend like her again.

Fu Yunshen lightly ran his fingertips over Wen Yuci’s delicate nose, his narrow phoenix eyes revealing a faint, almost imperceptible indulgence and softness.

Perhaps feeling discomfort, Wen Yuci weakly slapped away the man’s hand in her daze.

“Please let me go… I beg you…”

She must have dreamt of him, not a pleasant dream, but one filled with agony and reluctance.

Fu Yunshen watched her with a subdued gaze, murmuring softly, “Let you go, but who will let me go?”

Initially, she had failed to keep their appointment to go abroad together.

He was left on the brink of death by people sent by the Wen family, and his grandmother, in an attempt to stop them, was literally beaten to death.

Just because his biological grandmother had no money or power, was a life so worthless?

He barely snatched back his life from Ghost Gate and wanted to find her to get an explanation.

But what did he see?

What he saw, however, was the image of her embracing Fu Ziyuan, and even the Fu Family and the Wen family parents had met, discussing becoming in-laws.

Hah!

What had he done wrong?

Was it he who had made the Fu Family take the wrong child all those years ago?

Was he no longer the young master of the Fu Family, not even deserving of his own girlfriend?

Yet, reality told him that he truly didn’t deserve her!

When he had nothing, her parents’ true colors were still vividly etched in his mind.

If it weren’t for her face, he would have made his parents disappear from this world long ago!

Fu Yunshen lowered his head and kissed the woman’s forehead, “Ci Ci, be good, don’t make me angry anymore.”

As dawn was breaking, Fu Yunshen’s phone started vibrating.

He picked it up and glanced at it.

A call from Assistant Xu.

Fu Yunshen walked to the balcony with his phone, his voice low and chilly, “What’s the matter?”

Assistant Xu’s voice carried a hint of gravity, “President Fu, I’ve just received news that Miss Wen’s father suddenly had a heart attack and died on the spot in prison.”

Fu Yunshen’s hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.

“How could this happen?”

“Didn’t you instruct me to give Father Wen a lesson? I arranged for someone to beat him, but not to death. I never expected to hear the news of his sudden death this morning!”

Fu Yunshen’s complexion changed drastically at once.

…

When Wen Yuci woke up, she was on a speeding boat.

She was wrapped tightly in a man’s coat, and opening her heavy eyelids, she glanced at the man driving the boat.

The sea breeze filled his shirt, making a whipping sound.

His silhouette was shrouded in a layer of gloom that seemed impossible to dispel.

Wen Yuci rubbed her throbbing temples, lifted the coat off of her, and sat up with effort.

The man drove the speedboat very fast, as if there was something urgent.

Seeing that the man was finally willing to take her away, the tightness in Wen Yuci’s brows finally eased a fraction.

The speedboat kept driving until it reached the dock.

Fu Yunshen turned around, saw that Wen Yuci was awake, and said with a heavy tone, “How do you feel?”

Wen Yuci found it a bit amusing that he had the nerve to ask how she was feeling.

Wasn’t all the torment she endured because of him?

“I’m not dead.”

Fu Yunshen pressed his thin lips together and didn’t say anything more. He extended his arm and picked her up horizontally.

Wen Yuci struggled a few times but couldn’t get free, and simply stopped resisting.

From their days together, she understood all too well how domineering and tyrannical he could be beneath his genteel and handsome facade.

The more she opposed him, the more he insisted on subduing her, by whatever means necessary.

In the end, she was the only one who suffered!

Fu Yunshen carried Wen Yuci to the car and instructed Assistant Xu to drive.

On the way, he kept looking at Wen Yuci, several times as if he had something to say but then hesitated.

Wen Yuci noticed the man’s deep and somber expression and furrowed her brows, “Why do you keep looking at me? If you have something to say, just say it!”

Being watched like this made her scalp tingle, and she always felt like something bad was about to happen!

“Ci Ci, your dad… has passed away.”
