In a luxurious guest room.

The air was filled with the faint scent of fragrance as the breeze blew the red bed netting gently.

A woman, whose face was disfigured, sat still on the bed. She was covered with bruises and scars, and it was heartbreaking to see.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door being opened. She lifted her head to look at the man who came in through the door.

“Ya'er…”

The man was dressed in an elegant silk robe; even though he was already in his middle age, he was still handsome and das.h.i.+ng, with a warm and genial smile.

It was just like… The first time she saw him back then…

His gentle smile bewitched her, and from then on, she had decided to step into Duan Manor, despite everything.

However, she had never thought that this was a road of no return, a nightmare!

Xiao Ya clutched the bed sheet as her eyes were filled with hatred.

Her deep hatred caused Duan Qiong's heart to shrink, and his smile became a little bitter. “Ya'er, I know you don't trust me anymore. What happened back then… It wasn't my doing. I have never hunted you and your daughter.”

Xiao Ya slowly closed her eyes.

Whether what he said was true or not, it was already irrelevant to her…

Whether the person who did this was Duan Qiong or not, he was still one of the Duan family members.

The Duan family had made her lose her daughter, and they almost killed her!

“Ya'er…”

Duan Qiong reached out his hand to grab Xiao Ya's arm, trying to comfort her.

Xiao Ya opened her eyes and fiercely shook off his hand, her eyes wary, and her expression tense.

It was like a thorn in his heart, stabbing him hard and causing him to bleed.

“Ya'er, I know you're blaming me. It's fine. I'll wait until you forgive me…” Duan Qiong smiled faintly and showed the herbal soup in his hand to Xiao Ya. “I had a hard time finding this for you. Drink it so you can talk again.”

He did not dare to say that he had asked his father for it. If Xiao Ya knew that his father was the one who gave it to him, she would definitely refuse to drink it.

Xiao Ya lowered her eyes and looked at the herbal soup that Duan Qiong handed to her. She sneered and pushed it away.

If Duan Qiong had not dodged quickly enough, perhaps the herbal soup would have spilled and fallen to the ground.

“Ya'er…” Duan Qiong frowned. “Drink this herb. If you listen to me, I'll let you leave the Duan family.”

Xiao Ya's eyes visibly lit up after she heard these words, and there was hope in those eyes.

Duan Qiong's heart was a little broken. Ya'er was so clingy to him back then that she did not want to leave his side, even for a moment.

But now… She was itching to leave him.

“Ya'er, you… Don't you want to stay here?” Duan Qiong closed his eyes, and his voice was trembling.

Ya'er had fallen from the sky and happened to land in front of him a few days ago.

He loved her so much that even though she had been disfigured, he could still recognize her at a glance.

He thought it was because his deep infatuation over the years had finally touched G.o.d, and that was why G.o.d had sent her back to his side.

But… Ya'er was trying to escape from him in every possible way.

Xiao Ya was slightly startled. She lowered her eyes.

Her heart slightly softened when she saw the pain on the man's face…
