Chapter 4: Death Beneath the Peony Flower

Miss Ye, why are you behaving so unusually today

This is completely unlike something she would say, isn't she madly in love with Gu Yueze?

This damn life, unexpectedly witnessing the boss's woman eloping with a wild man in the middle of the night, putting a green hat on him

Xu Yi despairingly closed his eyes, and without needing to look, he could already anticipate how much greener the boss's head would become next

to demean oneself

The man's features melded with the night, and the malevolence surrounding him rampaged uncontrollably, as if it would shatter a person in the next moment, devouring them until not a single bone remained

Xu Yi, with a face full of relief after surviving a disaster, looked in astonishment towards Ye Wanwan.

In the shadows just a few steps away from Ye Wanwan

Gu Yueze was genuinely angry this time, warning in an extremely cold and stern tone, "Wanquan, don't throw a tantrum with me. Si Yehan's background is unfathomable, and he is known for his murderous nature. Do you have any idea how many lives are stained by his subordinates? Staying close to such a person, are you not valuing your life?"

The moment Gu Yueze uttered the words inviting her to follow him, Ye Yuanwan distinctly felt the temperature around her suddenly drop

This time, someone's level of anger is sufficient to reduce the entire imperial capital to ashes

Ye Wanyuan seemed to have heard some joke, and with a cold smile, she spoke, "Si Yehan is richer than you, more powerful than you, more handsome than you, and has a better figure than you. Even if one were to sleep with him just once, it would be better than spending a lifetime with you! Who gave you the confidence to say such things?"

Gu Yueze frowned

Little do they know, this is merely the caprice of a man's pride

In her previous life, Ye Wanwan only felt that she had lost herself and had done something unforgivable to Gu Yuezhe. She did not refute any of Gu Yuezhe's harsh words or accusations. When she heard him say that he was not in control of his own body, she completely forgave him. Upon learning that he had come to take her away, she was even more deeply moved, feeling that he still held a place for her in his heart

Meanwhile, the frenzied aura surrounding a certain individual in the shadows suddenly quieted down, as if a wild beast had been stroked the right way.

And this woman is best at provoking Si Yehan's anger

Simply pitiable in its foolishness

She was once his fiancée, Gu Yueze, but now she has become Si Yehan's lover. If this matter were to spread, where would he put his face

At this moment, Si Yehan's aide, Xu Yi, was sweating profusely, his legs trembling uncontrollably

In his impression, Ye Wanwan was deeply in love with him, always obedient to his words, so Gu Yueze assumed that she was merely trying to attract his attention

Ye Wanwan nimbly stepped back, avoiding the other's touch

Gu Yueze, seeing Ye Wanyuan remain still, displayed a hint of impatience on his face and directly reached out his hand to pull her away

Since this Ye Wanyuan appeared beside the boss, they have not had a single good day. Whenever the boss gets angry, they all have to suffer the consequences.

Is it merely a case of feigned retreat to lure in the opponent

Gu Yueze's gaze was filled with pity, "Wan Wan, someone of Si Yehan's status is merely toying with you. Why must you demean yourself like this in order to take revenge on me?"

You..." Gu Yueze never expected that Ye Wanyuan would say such a thing, and his expression suddenly darkened.

In response to Gu Yueze's vehement warning, Ye Wanyuan merely yawned lazily. The next moment, with a slight lift of her eyes, she cast a sidelong glance and said softly, "So what? To die under the peony is to be a ghost of elegance"

Ye Wanwan's expression was slightly cold, "Gu Yueze, did I ever say that I would go with you?"

It should be that I can't wait to elope with Gu Yueze!
