Ye Wanwan naturally noticed Xu Yi's look as if he'd seen a ghost.
She opened her mouth to speak, but Xu Yi quickly made a shushing gesture, then put his hands together in a pleading gesture and mouthed silently: Master Jiu hasn't slept in three days!
Three days without sleep?
Could it be that he was so angry about her escape attempt?
Over the past two years, she had never given up on running away. This time, she'd been the closest she'd ever been to freedom—just one step away from boarding that cruise ship abroad...
But the price had been devastating.
Although Si Yehan had forced her to stay by his side before, he'd never laid a hand on her. The incident three days ago had been the first time.
That was why she'd always thought her disguise was working.
Just as Xu Yi let out a sigh of relief, a phone ringtone suddenly shattered the silence of the living room—like a clap of thunder.
Xu Yi was scared out of his wits, almost dropping his phone. He quickly pressed the power button to shut it off.
But it was already too late.
The big devil had indeed been woken up. His slowly opening eyes were empty of any human emotion, and when he looked at Xu Yi, it was as if he were looking at a dead thing. Xu Yi's blood seemed to have frozen solid.
Ye Wanwan was terrified too!
Si Yehan's morning anger was terrifyingly brutal. If he was woken up midway, it was practically the end of the world.
In her panic, Ye Wanwan subconsciously reached out, covered Si Yehan's eyes with her hand—as if trying to hide her ears while stealing a bell—then used her other hand to press his head back onto her shoulder. At the same time, her fingers stroked gently through his soft hair. "It's okay... Go back to sleep..."
One second passed...
Two seconds passed...
Three seconds passed...
Si Yehan didn't move a muscle.
After waiting a little longer, Ye Wanwan carefully pulled her hand away from his eyes. What she saw then was the man with his eyes closed peacefully, having drifted back into a deep sleep.
Xu Yi's frozen blood finally began to flow again. He was almost exhausted, and his gaze toward Ye Wanwan held a hint of gratitude.
Ye Wanwan maintained the same posture all night long.
She didn't know when she'd fallen asleep, but when she woke up, the sky was already bright. She was lying in the master bedroom's large bed, and there was no sign of Si Yehan in the room.
Ye Wanwan rubbed her eyes and sat up, only to find her hand smudged with eyeliner, false eyelashes, and shimmery eyeshadow.
What girl didn't love beauty? But to keep herself chaste for Gu Yueze, she'd never dared to take off her makeup even while sleeping—asYe Wanwan naturally Wanwan naturally noticed Xu Yi's look as if he'd seen a ghost.

What girl didn't love beauty? But to keep herself chaste for Gu Yueze, she'd never dared to take off her makeup even while sleeping—as long as Si Yehan was at home.
Now that she knew all that effort had been in vain, she instead felt a sense of relief.
She could finally be true to herself...
Since she was eighteen—the most delicate and blooming age for a girl—she had never shown anyone her true face. She'd almost forgotten what she originally looked like.
First, there were the large, bloody, and terrifying tattoos covering her body.
Thankfully, she'd been afraid of pain back then and hadn't listened to Shen Mengqi's suggestion to get permanent tattoos. The ones on her body could be washed off with a special potion.
Ye Wanwan searched for a long time and finally found the potion in a box filled with clutter. Then she took the potion, cleansing oil, cotton pads, and a box of facial masks Si Yehan had casually given her into the bathroom.
First, she removed the seven or eight earrings and heavy metal studs from her ears. Next came the dog collar-like necklace around her neck, followed by removing her makeup. Finally, she poured the potion into the bathtub and soaked her body in it...
