Why did he suddenly think of Gu Lan?!

As Shao Junhao drove, he looked ahead and thought about Qu Xiao's house. At such a critical moment, he actually thought of Gu Lan.

Shao Junhao frowned as he thought back to what Qu Xiao had said. "They"? Was it because of his mother and Gu Lan? Xiaoxiao had been alone abroad for so many years, and it was all her fault that her life was so difficult!

"Damn that woman!" Shao Junhao cursed under his breath as he stepped on the accelerator and sped up. Those who were overtaken by him could not help but curse, "She's driving so fast, isn't she afraid of something happening?"

"Mr. Shao."

If Shao Junhao and Gu Lan did not usually live in the old house, they would live in the villa that they had bought when they were married. The villa had specialized servants to clean it up.

Shao Junhao walked straight into the living room and asked the maid, "Where's Gu Lan?"

The servant replied, "Young Madam just came back and is upstairs."

Shao Junhao went straight upstairs.

Gu Lan got off work a little earlier than usual today. When she got home and was changing her clothes, she suddenly heard the door being kicked open. She covered her chest with her clothes and turned around to see Shao Junhao walking in with a furious expression.

"What are you doing?!" Gu Lan took a step back and frowned at Shao Junhao. Due to her nervousness, her face turned slightly red.

Shao Junhao's gaze swept across Gu Lan's bare white skin and felt a surge of anger - his lust from Qu Xiao's house just now. The fire in his heart had yet to subside. Seeing Gu Lan's current appearance, however, he could not help but feel a certain desire in his body. His desire burned even more fiercely.

Seeming to have been burned by Shao Junhao's gaze, Gu Lan took another step back and said in embarrassment and anger, "Get out!"

"Get out?" Shao Junhao pressed forward, "Which part of your body haven't I seen before? Besides, we're husband and wife, so why can't I see you?"

As he spoke, he had already walked to Gu Lan's side. Pulling Gu Lan's clothes from behind him, he threw them away and locked his gaze onto her body.

Her pure white body was slightly red from anger, which was extremely attractive.

Shao Junhao pulled Gu Lan over and pressed her down on the bed...

"Ugh..." Gu Lan let out a muffled groan in pain. She bit her lips tightly, unwilling to make any more sounds.

Seeing her pain, Shao Junhao felt a trace of joy in his heart. He did not care about Gu Lan's feelings at all. Only when all his desires were vented on Gu Lan did he withdraw.

Shao Junhao stood by the bed, looking down at Gu Lan, who was in a sorry state, and said coldly, "As Mrs Shao, you must fulfill your duty."

With that, he turned around and went into the bathroom to wash up. After that, he left without even looking at Gu Lan.

Lying on the bed, Gu Lan slowly curled up into a ball.

Pain.

Shame.

That was all Gu Lan felt at the moment.

"Madam, it's time to eat," the maid's voice sounded from outside.

Gu Lan slowly came back to her senses and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not hungry, so I won't eat."

The maid seemed to have said something else, but Gu Lan did not hear it clearly. She got up, went to the complicated door, and went into the bathroom naked.

There was a full-length mirror in the bathroom. As soon as Gu Lan entered, she saw her current appearance.

Her fair and jade-like body was covered in purple and red marks, and there were even some white stains on it. Her private parts were aching slightly, and her red lips had been bitten off by her. Even now, blood was still slowly seeping out.

How miserable.

Gu Lan stared blankly at herself in the mirror and thought of herself waking up from an unfamiliar room many years ago.

It was also like this.

"So dirty."

Gu Lan sank into the bathtub and continued to wash herself. Only when her skin was so red that it seemed like it was about to break did she stop.

It was already late at night when she came out of the bathroom. Gu Lan dragged her tired body to the sofa and laid down, quickly falling into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, the sunlight shone through the cracks and onto Gu Lan's face. Stimulated by the light, Gu Lan slowly opened her eyes. She covered her eyes with her hands and sat for a long time before getting used to the light.

When she got up, she saw the mess on the bed. She walked over to the bed and started to clean it up. Recalling Shao Junhao's appearance yesterday, she couldn't help but frown. "Ridiculous."

After cleaning up the bed, Gu Lan carried the dirty blanket downstairs to wash it. However, when she went downstairs, her vision darkened and she almost rolled down the stairs.

Gu Lan grabbed onto the railing and waited for the dizziness to pass. By then, the blanket in her hand had already scattered all over the ground.

"Mrs Zhang." Gu Lan called out, but no one answered. She called out again, "Mrs Zhang?" Still no one replied. Gu Lan was stunned for a long time before she remembered that Mrs Zhang had returned home at the end of the month. Now, she was the only one in the villa.

Gu Lan pursed her lips, picked up the blanket, went downstairs, and threw it into the washing machine. Then, she went to the living room to find a thermometer. She could feel that her body was extremely uncomfortable at the moment. She thought of how she had been soaking in the bathtub for hours last night, and the water was already cold.

"I have a fever." Gu Lan frowned as she looked at the thermometer. It clearly showed: 39.6 degrees.

Gu Lan put down the thermometer and went to look through the first aid kit at home. She finally found the cold medicine, but it had expired a long time ago. Gu Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

She had forgotten that she had been the one to prepare the first aid kit at home, but since she had begun to give up the idea of going back to the villa, she had forgotten to replace the medicine in the first aid kit.

"Forget it." Gu Lan put the first aid kit back and went back upstairs to lie down.
