Chapter 14: Yuanya, Be My Woman (4)_1

However, this pitiful sight did not elicit even a shred of mercy from him.

Bei Yunhuan was captivated by this delicate beauty. There was no shortage of beautiful women, but none had ever struck his fancy as she did.

"Yuanya, be my woman."

What a ridiculous proposition! She had no intention of becoming the lover of a murderer!

Yuanya started to tremble, shaking her head intensely to signify her refusal.

Bei Yunhuan's breath was inches away from her, his cool fingertips unbuttoning the first button on her blouse.

"I will give you unimaginable amounts of money, precious jewels, and beautiful clothes. Anything you like, anything you desire."

Yuanya felt the fabric of her blouse give way and quickly grasped Bei Yunhuan's hand. Crying out, "I don't want anything! Let me go, let me go..."

Bei Yunhuan's gaze rested on her hands. They were fair and delicate, looking as if they would break with just a hint of force.

"Your adoptive parents, they seem to be employees of East Dragon."

Yuanya's eyes widened in shock, momentarily forgetting how to breathe. She stared blankly at Bei Yunhuan in front of her.

She had almost forgotten that her mom and dad indeed work for East Dragon, having spent a great part of their lives there.

The man standing before her was the CEO of East Dragon!

Bei Yunhuan continued calmly, "You also have a brother and sister, don't you? It's not easy for your parents to take care of all three of you, is it?"

More than just not easy, faced with their tuition and living costs, her dad would often fall silent while smoking a cigarette.

Work was endless for her parents; they were literally working themselves to sickness. Even Yuan Mo had to work two jobs while attending school.

Bei Yunhuan's voice was incredibly soothing, like a feather lightly brushing against one's heart.

However, the words he uttered, each and every one of them, were driving Yuanya almost insane.

"Why?" Why did it have to be her…

Yuanya couldn't help but ask. A man like him could have any woman he wanted.

Bei Yunhuan curved up the corners of his mouth into a faint yet captivating smile, "Because it pleases me."

Because she caught his eye, because she pleased him, there was no other reason.

Yuanya fell silent. She didn't know what to say nor did she have the strength to say more.

Just as Bei Yunhuan stated, it was no easy task for her parents to raise them.

Would her resistance cost her parents their jobs and deny her siblings their education?

Yuanya knew that now, the only way out was to please Bei Yunhuan. Only when he was pleased would he let her go, let her family be.

If he were to be displeased...

Thinking about the blood seeping down from the rooftop that night, she was covered in goosebumps and her scalp tingled with fear.

Bei Yunhuan watched as Yuanya, who was attempting to resist, suddenly wilted like a deflated lettuce.

Her sense of powerlessness and forced submission was truly inviting more bullying.

Thus, his fingertips moved over again, unbuttoning another button at her waist.

Yuanya's skin was very pale, a radiant and beautiful white.
