surrender.

"Uncle, why are you so angry? Dadi is doing well here with me, aren't you, Dadi?" He Benyu's evil face suddenly drew close to Gu Dan Dan.

He Benyu's intentions were naturally clear to Gu Ao. Xuan Ranxi had married him, so this self-righteous nephew of his had been harboring resentment ever since, always looking for ways to embarrass him. But whether in the past or at present, no one had ever been able to take away what belonged to Gu Ao!

Suddenly, Gu Ao threw a punch...

He Benyu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his index finger and let out a nonchalant, light laugh, "Gu Ao, you hit me just for this little woman? Interesting, truly interesting. The more you care, the more I want to savor her. What's so special about her that has you so anxious? Keep an eye on your woman, next time... don't even think about taking her away so easily."

"Based on you?" Gu Ao coldly snorted in disdain. For young whippersnappers like He Benyu, he wouldn't even give them a second thought.

"Uncle, we'll see about that!" He Benyu brushed his bangs aside, determined to make him understand the consequences of underestimating him.

Gu Ao grabbed Gu Dan Dan from the bed, hoisted her onto his shoulder with a punishing grip on her buttocks, and said, "Go back and wait for me!"

...

After leaving He Benyu's villa, Gu Dan Dan was roughly thrown into the backseat by Gu Ao, clutching her aching buttocks. Seeing Gu Ao hit someone had shaken her to the core, and she was genuinely afraid that his next punch might be aimed at her!

His dark face and roaring demeanor were terrifying. In the car, Gu Dan Dan stayed silent, not daring to utter a single word. When they got home, she was roughly dragged upstairs by him...

The door was shut and locked.

Gu Dan Dan was thrown heavily onto the large bed, her small body bouncing slightly. Her little heart had already cracked, with holes breaking through, pieces bouncing around inside her body.

This time, her silence was in vain, her tears flowing like a river did no good... His burst of anger was like a dousing of cold water that couldn't be extinguished!

"Do I have to pin you down on the bed and折腾 (toss and turn) for several days and nights so you won't run away?!" With a thought, he could act. If he was provoked and pushed to the limit, the consequences would be unimaginable!

Gu Dan Dan swallowed her saliva, her hands clutching the quilt beneath her. Gu Ao's large frame loomed over her, and he lowered his head to bite her delicate lips, his sharp teeth mercilessly gnawing. She was forced to arch her head back, enduring his forceful kiss, his scorching lips and tongue seeming to devour her whole.

He suddenly left her lips, and she trembled, her lips quivering as she spoke softly, "Gu... Gu Ao, don't... don't be angry, I..."

Running away from home? He hadn't expected her to have the guts to do so, leaving without a word, and ending up at He Benyu's house, lying on his bed. If he had been a step later, his woman might have already been toyed with by his reckless nephew...

Upon hearing she was missing, he had rushed home in a panic, sending people to search everywhere. For him, finding a person was nothing, but he was just anxious, worried, with so many emotions he had never felt before swirling in his heart, all because she was gone!

"I told you to stay away from He Benyu, why were you at his house!? Who allowed you to run around like that? Do you still dare?" He grasped her chin, his anger scalding her face like boiling oil.

"I... I..." She didn't know, she just opened her eyes and found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed, with no idea what had happened...

"Stop stammering, you silly woman!" Gu Ao's eyes narrowed, his brows furrowed, his fingers pinching her rosy cheeks hard.

"I dare not anymore, I dare not, I... I will never do it again..." Gu Dan Dan's voice grew softer, gradually turning into a faint crying sound.

"Here you are crying again, huh!? That day, wasn't your little mouth quite sharp?"

"Wuwu... Gu Ao..."

She cried, her face a mess of tears, crying as if the world was collapsing, her heart breaking... He sat to the side, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking fiercely, exhaling thick smoke. He ignored her, paid her no mind. If she wanted to cry, let her!

Gu Dan Dan cried for a good while, her beautiful eyes swollen almost shut, sniffling hard, wiping away her tears. She timidly and fearfully stole a glance at Gu Ao, meeting his eyes that held a hint of anger. He looked at her, seeing into her pleading gaze, but he just stayed still.

"Gu Ao..." A hoarse voice uttered two words, Gu Dan Dan kept sobbing, looking at his expressionless, cold as ice face. She turned her head and started crying softly again.

He stubbed out the cigarette, walked into the bathroom as if he hadn't seen anything, took a cold shower, and after coming out, he lay on the bed with his back to Gu Dan Dan, shirtless. She, being considerate, followed and snuggled into the covers, gazing at his indifferent back, she moved her body, quietly pressing her little face against his back.

Gu Ao was stunned, the warm and wet little face tightly against him, he could almost clearly see her tearful eyes, an absolutely pitiful sight... But he held back, resolutely not turning around. His thin lips curled, a smile that wasn't quite a smile, this little woman, he had to teach her a lesson...

"I... I was wrong, I dare not anymore, I will... I will never run away again, truly... truly, Gu... Gu Ao, don't... don't be angry anymore, okay, okay? Please... please..." Gu Dan Dan slowly reached her hands around his waist, her heart pounding with fear, "Gu Ao..."

Holding him was like holding a cold mountain. She tried to please him, she begged for mercy, she admitted her mistake, even if she cried her tears dry, cried until she went blind, he just had no reaction.

"I was wrong... wuwu... I... I dare not do it again, Gu Ao... Pay attention to me, pay attention to me, please... please? I... I thought you didn't want me anymore, wu... What... What do I have to do for you... for you not to be angry anymore? Wuwu..." Gu Dan Dan kept repeating, crying so hard she could barely speak, Gu Ao's back was dampened by her tears.

She cried loudly and fiercely, he stayed silent for a long time, ignoring her, and she cried even more. Normally, if she made a mistake, he would just yell at her a few times, she would obediently admit her fault, and he would forgive her. But today, this man's heart... was truly hard!
