Chapter 1 You May Go When I Am Sick Of You

“Ahh!” Bai Yunjin suddenly shouted in her sleep. The man, who was supposed to be sleeping beside her, sauntered to the bathroom. “Make sure you take the necessary precautions. Don't get emotional and cry to my grandmother if you're pregnant. I don't buy this shit.” The closed bathroom door, and the sound of running water from within isolated Huo Chen from the woman lying on the bed. Bai Yunjin stared at the ceiling. Her paleness became prominent as the redness faded from her face. Ha! Take the necessary precautions? She laughed in self-mockery as though she was used to the man's attitude. Oh, yes. He hates me so much he would never let me conceive his child. The sun was shining brightly when she opened her eyes again. The space beside her was cold. She dragged her sore body to the bathroom and washed up quickly. Then she combed her messy hair, changed into a long sapphire dress, and applied some foundation to cover the bruise on her neck. Several servants circled around the dining table in attention while Huo Chen slouched in his chair at the head of the table. Every move he made with his cutlery was refined and elegant. He stopped eating as he noticed her standing at the top of the stairs. Then he said nonchalantly, “Grandma called. She wants us to go back on Saturday.” He sliced a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. “Back? To the old mansion?” Bai Yunjin asked hesitantly. She took her time coming down the stairs. Confusion was written all over her face, which was as big as a grown man's palm. “Is there something important that Grandma wants to say to us?” Otherwise, she wouldn't call and ask us to go back for no reason, she added to herself. Huo Chen was offended by her question. Clang! His cutlery fell on the plate. His expression darkened.
