Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 700 - 693: A Woman’s Mind (Part 7)

Da Lin finished speaking and turned to leave, and Yi and the others stayed in the courtyard for a while before returning to their mansion.

In an instant, the courtyard that had been crowded just now was left with only Yao Zhiqing. She stood there pale-faced, always looking at the ground. Reality had slapped her hard in the face, showing her that she was nothing...

The sky cleared after the rain, and the air on the mountain was fresh but a bit chilly. Bai Yiran felt a little cold as she hadn’t dressed warmly when she came out.

"Are you cold?" Seeing Bai Yiran shivering slightly, Wu Chengzu asked.

Bai Yiran answered without looking at him, walking on her own, memorizing every detail she passed by.

Suddenly, her wrist tightened, and Bai Yiran stumbled, her back hitting Wu Chengzu’s solid chest.

"Let go of me!" Bai Yiran struggled. Every time Wu Chengzu got close, she felt an intense horror and disgust.

Wu Chengzu stood behind her, holding her tightly with one hand while forcefully draping his coat over her with the other.

"It’s my fault for rushing out without letting you wear something warmer."

After draping the coat over Bai Yiran, Wu Chengzu released her. Bai Yiran immediately jumped a step back to keep her distance from him.

The unique fragrance of a woman seemed to linger in the air, and Wu Chengzu took a deep breath, looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

"I know what you’re thinking. It’s best not to fantasize about escaping, because you can’t escape."

Wu Chengzu seemed to have seen through Bai Yiran’s thoughts. She turned her head not to look at him, but inside she was nervous.

As they walked forward, Wu Chengzu spoke faintly, "I’ve known Yao Zhiqing since we were teenagers. My father was a murderer, sentenced to death, and my mother raised me alone. At that time, everyone around knew I was the murderer’s son, so they all feared me."

Bai Yiran glanced at Wu Chengzu, who chuckled, "Why are you looking at me? Do you want to say that the murderer’s son eventually became a murderer too? I’m much more ruthless than my father. Over the years, many have died from the drugs I produced. Those deaths are my sins, and I will have to pay for them sooner or later."

Wu Chengzu continued, "Back then, Yao Zhiqing was the only one who wasn’t afraid of me. I remember her parents tied her up and beat her to keep her away from me. But whether she was poisoned or just rebellious, she wouldn’t listen to them and insisted on following me."

Bai Yiran thought to herself, if only Yao Zhiqing’s parents had beaten her harder back then. If they had known she would end up like this, it might have been better to just beat her to death from the start.

"I’m not interested in hearing about your affairs," Bai Yiran said coldly. Why listen to the pasts of two villains?

"Then what are you interested in hearing? I can tell you anything," Wu Chengzu said with a smile, happy to walk with Bai Yiran in the mountains like this.

"I don’t want to hear anything. Just shut up."

Faced with Bai Yiran’s icy attitude, Wu Chengzu didn’t get angry. He simply made a gesture to seal his lips, and the two continued walking forward.

Bai Yiran looked at the small path ahead. If she followed it, there was a good chance she could escape.

She bit her lip, held her breath, and noted how the path was a bit steep, with a large pit beside it that seemed very deep.

Unconsciously, she started to quicken her pace, clenching her fists. Whether she succeeded or not depended on this moment.
