4 Dying under a peony

Translator: eunimon_ Editor: Caron_

In her previous life, Ye Wanwan felt that she lost herself and let Gu Yueze down. She didn't even fight back when he said all those nasty words to her. She was moved when he said she was forgiven and was touched that he wanted to bring her home, thinking she was still in his heart.

She had simply been dumb.

Who knew he was just acting out of pride?

In any case, she was once Gu Yueze's fiancee, but now she'd become Si Yehan's lover. If people found out, wouldn't he lose all his pride?

Just as Gu Yueze appealed for her to leave with him, Ye Wanwan felt a drastic drop in the temperature of the surrounding air.

In the darkness only a few steps away from Ye Wanwan:

The man's expression was as dark as the night. His hostility raged uncontrollably, as if he could crush a man and engulf him whole, not leaving a single trace behind.

Si Yehan's assistant, Xu Yi, was sweating buckets and both legs were trembling.

What a life I have to witness the boss' woman eloping with another man late at night!

Ever since this woman Ye Wanwan had appeared, the servants hadn't had an easy day. Once the boss went into a rage, they all suffered.

And this woman's forte was provoking Si Yehan.

This time, boss' anger would certainly be enough to burn the entirety of Imperial City to ashes!

Xu Yi closed his eyes in despair. He knew even without looking what was coming.

Seeing that Ye Wanwan wasn't moving, Gu Yueze got impatient. He reached out to grab her arm, wanting to pull her away.

But Ye Wanwan quickly took a step back, avoiding his touch.

"Wanwan?" Gu Yueze frowned.

Ye Wanwan replied coldly, "Gu Yueze, did I say I wanted to leave with you?"

Gu Yueze gave her a pitiful gaze, "Wanwan, Si Yehan is toying with you. Why must you humiliate yourself just to get back at me?"

The Ye Wanwan he knew was head-over-heels for him and always did his bidding. Thus, Gu Yueze thought she was just trying to seek his attention.

"Humiliate myself?"

Ye Wanwan laughed like she just heard a joke. She sneered, "Si Yehan is richer than you, more powerful than you, of a higher class than you, and has a better body than you. Sleeping with him once is better than being with you for a lifetime! How do you have the confidence to say such things?"

"You…" Gu Yueze never imagined that Ye Wanwan would say those words. His mood darkened.

At the same time, the man in the darkness with rage like a beast suddenly calmed down.

Xu Yi was surprised and looked in Ye Wanwan's direction.

Why is Miss Ye acting so strangely today?

This is out of character--isn't she deeply in love with Gu Yueze?

She should be happy to elope with him!

Maybe she's playing hard to get?

This time, Gu Yueze was really angry. He warned her, "Wanwan, stop throwing a tantrum. Si Yehan is a vicious, violent and bloodthirsty man. Do you know how many have died in his hands? Staying with a man like him… don't you care for your life?"

In response to Gu Yueze's harsh warning, Ye Wanwan yawned lazily. She glanced at him sideways and replied faintly, "So what? Dying under a peony flower such as Si Yehan, you'd be happy even as a ghost~"
