Yan Yan - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 – The Manor

“No, no… Isn’t it inappropriate? This…” Dumbfounded, Su Yan tried to reject Bai Xingfan’s help.

However, to Su Yan’s misfortune, as soon as she finished speaking, a series of white lights flashed outside the car window, indicating a thunderstorm was coming. 

The gloomy and harsh weather conditions, combined with her brother’s words that someone was kidnapping his sister, made Su Yan feel that she was actually being kidnapped. 

The heroine of the film was her, the kidnapper was Bai Xingfan, and the location was the basement of Bai Xingfan’s house. As he was super rich, he didn’t kidnap her for money but to abuse and humiliate her for fulfilling his pleasure.

The more she thought about such thoughts, the more she became frightened and even forgot the pain of being abandoned by the person she loved the most.

Bia Xingfan, who was paying attention to Su Yan, saw that her face was getting pale and she was shivering slightly, not knowing that her mind was full of thoughts of being kidnapped by him, and asked in a caring voice, “Are you cold?”

Su Yan was more alarmed by Bai Xingfa’s abrupt words and responded quickly: “No, no, not cold.”

“Then why are you shivering if it’s not cold?” Bai Xingfan’s eyes were full of questions.

How could Su Yan answer that truthfully? ‘Because I don’t want to die.’

At the same time, her mind began to run at high speed, racking her brain as she thought about how to fight courageously with the kidnappers in order to escape.

Therefore, the most critical step was to stay calm and not let the kidnapper see through her thoughts.

While Su Yan was thinking in such a way, suddenly a warm feeling spread through her body. Gasping, Su Yan quickly looked at herself and saw that her ‘kidnapper’ had put a coat on her shoulders. Although the coat was wet from the rain, the inside was still dry.

Su Yan’s wedding dress was an off-the-shoulder, tube-top style, and the moment the coat was put on, she felt the warmth remaining on the coat. When the warmth spread through Su Yan’s body, her heart calmed down a bit.

However, she was taken aback by Bai Xingfan’s action and gave him a surprised look. 

Bai Xingfan looked gentle. “Put it on, or you will catch a cold.” 

At this moment, Su Yan’s big brain stopped abruptly. ‘There shouldn’t be such a gentle pervert in this world, right?’ 

But she was not familiar enough with Bai Xingfan to feel comfortable going to his home, and the lingering fear in her heart didn’t vanish completely. 

“J-just find a place to put me down; otherwise, it will be too troublesome.” 

“No, it’s not a problem,” Bai Xingfan said softly. “I usually don’t live there, so you don’t need to worry.” 

Su Yan was startled by his words and looked at him in surprise. 

‘Isn’t that your own home? Why don’t you usually stay? Or did he say that in order to let me live comfortably?’ 

Bai Xingfan guessed what Su Yan was thinking and explained. “That house is too far away from the company, so it’s not convenient to go back and forth, but there are housekeepers and aunts at home, so you can rest assured.” 

Su Yan quickly flushed and felt embarrassed—she truly regarded him as a perverted kidnapper despite his honest invitation to live with him. She was lucky that Bia Xingfan could not read minds; otherwise, she would have had to jump from the car. 

So embarrassed and ashamed that she dared not look into Bai Xingfan’s eyes, Su Yan quickly lowered her eyes, lowered her head, and whispered back, “Thank you.” 

From Bai Xingfan’s viewpoint, Su Yan’s profile was nearly flawless. Her earlobes and neck were even more seductive. Her forehead was smooth and full, with long, thick eyelashes. Her neck was long and slender, her collarbone was clear and straight, and a diamond necklace hung from her neck to the middle of the two collarbones. Her earballs were white and round, and she wore a silver-white diamond drop earring. Bai Xingfan could see that a lovely pink colour was spreading from her cheeks to her slender neck like a fire, and he felt that he was burning all over his body. 

As he felt like the space inside the car was cramped and airtight, suddenly his mouth became dry, his eyes became darker and deeper, and his body tensed slightly. It was his desire that was out of control. 

He actually hated this sudden loss of control. Since he was young, he had never felt this much powerlessness. It was like plunging into a cliff with two straight sides. No matter how well he tried to contain himself this time, it was pointless. He liked to take everything into his own hands, and he had been able to do that for a long time until she appeared. Su Yan, Bai Xingfan’s weakness…

He had never felt such a loss of control as he did when he first saw her. He had long since come to despise himself due to this feeling of being out of control, but he was unable to free himself. Later, he simply let himself sink. Taking a deep breath, he looked away calmly and said concisely and unquestionably, “No need to say thank you.” 

This was the second time he had reiterated this sentence. His voice still sounded harsh, as if it had been scorched by fire.

Su Yan only detected the icy tone in his voice and assumed it was because of her constant “thank you” that he was upset. ‘If I were him, I would also get annoyed if someone said ‘thank you’ repeatedly.’  She felt that it was best for her to shut up and keep quiet, but she couldn’t help explaining. “You’ve helped me a lot, and I don’t know how to thank you.” 

Bai Xingfan said lightly, “There’s no need to say thank you; it’s a trivial matter.” 

Su Yan: “….”

Being abandoned on her wedding day, becoming a laughing shock, and being homeless seemed like the sky was falling to her, but to Bai Xingfan, indeed, it was a trivial matter. Her “thank you” might be really insignificant to him. But how could she repay him besides saying thank you? He was Bai Xingfan; he lacked nothing, so should she promise him her body? And she didn’t intend to agree with her body because she knew that she could not do such a thing.  Sighing lightly, Su Yan shut her mouth obediently and turned her head to look out the car window.

Because of the heavy rain, the sky was as gloomy as night. When Su Yan looked out the dark car window, she saw her own reflection: her face was dull, with unhappiness written all over it. After seeing her own reflection for the first time since the terrible incident, she felt that her heart was pierced by an arrow.

 She really wanted to confront Xie Yu. ‘Why did you treat me like this? Why? Since you still love Jiang Qi, why do you take the initiative to pursue me? Why do you want to marry me? playing with my feelings? Why did you give me hope? Did you really hate me that much to trample on my dignity in front of all my relatives and friends? Why do you want to push me to death? Xie Yu, why? Then congratulations! You have really reached this point. Now I not only don’t love you but also hate you, wishing to return to you double the pain, embarrassment, and criticism I have endured.’

A white handkerchief was placed in front of her eyes. Su Yan was startled, and then she realised that she had been crying without knowing it.

She saw her miserable appearance through the car window. Although she was wearing a wedding dress, she looked like a drowned rat; her whole body was wet, her eyes were still red, and tears were streaming out uncontrollably. Su Yan quickly took the handkerchief in front of her and wanted to say “thank you” but didn’t utter a single word as she knew that Bai Xingfan didn’t like to hear her “thank you.”

She was expecting Bai Xingfan’s questions, such as, “Why are you crying? What happened?” but he didn’t ask anything to make her uncomfortable. His silence and moderation showed the greatest consideration and respect for her.

She really appreciated his attitude. However, in the end, she couldn’t help but say to him, “Thank you.”

Bai Xingfan sighed lightly and smiled helplessly. “It’s already the fifth time.”

Su Yan: ‘Are you still keeping track?’

Like Bia Xingfan could read her mind, he suddenly raised his right hand and tapped his temple with his index finger, saying, “Good memory and superpowers.”

After listening to Bai Xingfan’s words, suddenly Su Yan let out a laugh and wiped away her tears and snot. “I’ll wash and return this to you.”

Bai Xingfan gave a soft “um” and didn’t say any more.

Su Yan didn’t intend to have a talk with Bia Xingfan because of her sad mood, so she continued to look outside from the window. 

The rainstorm came and went quickly, and ten minutes later, the sun appeared in the sky as the dark clouds disappeared. 

Bai Xingfan’s house was situated in the suburbs next to the Swan Lake, and it was surrounded by small mountains. Several high-end manors were scattered in a patchwork manner on the mountains.

After entering the manor area, there was a wide and flat road around the mountain, leading from the gate to the top of the mountain.

The Bentley was driving all the way up, and the view outside the car window became wider and wider. Su Yan couldn’t help but open the car window to see the vast green lake and the blue sky washed by water, and the air was refreshing.

Occasionally, a white swan skimmed over the clear lake, spread its wings to touch the water, and drew an elegant arc in the air.

This was probably the most legendary paradise on earth. Living in such a fairytale place would be very interesting. Su Yan was in awe after seeing such a thing.

The driver drove the car all the way to the manor on top of the mountain.

The black anti-theft door had been opened. The wide and straight driveway leads directly to the garage next to the villa and extends back to the side of the house, but Su Yan could not see what was on the side.

There were three people standing in front of the gate of the villa: one man and two women; all of them looked like middle-aged people. The man was wearing a suit and uniform, and the two women were not so formally dressed, but they were dressed very smartly: white knit tops and blue slacks without wearing any accessories.

After getting out of the car, Bai Xingfan introduced Su Yan. The uncle in uniform was the housekeeper and was in charge of household chores; the fatter aunt was the nanny in charge of daily life; and the thinner one was in charge of building the garden.

Su Yan nodded and greeted them one by one, feeling a little uneasy and embarrassed in her heart, feeling like a local dog breaking into a high-end world.

After following Bai Xingfan into the villa, this feeling became stronger.

The interior decoration colours were nothing more than black, white, and gray. Although the colour was a little monotonous, it was luxurious and grand, and both the furniture and accessories were meticulously matched, revealing a calm and elegant atmosphere everywhere, just like the owner.

The marble floors were immaculately clean; therefore, Su Yan, who was barefoot, was embarrassed to continue walking, afraid of dirtying the floor.

After walking a few steps, Bai Xingfan found that she didn’t keep up and looked back at her: “Why don’t you come in?”

Su Yan didn’t want to reveal that she was as dirty as a stray dog, so she replied decently, “I didn’t change my slippers.”

Bai Xing Fan: “No need to change; just come in.”

Su Yan pursed her lips and had to tell the truth. “I didn’t wear shoes…”

She quickly shrank her exposed, dirty feet back into the skirt.

Bai Xingfan had only noticed that now. “Where are the shoes?”

Su Yan blushed a little. “Run, run away. Mmm.”

Bai Xingfan understood what she was going to say.

Su Yan pursed her lips and said very embarrassedly, “The floor will get dirty…”

Bai Xingfan said helplessly, “Do you want me to carry you in?”

Su Yan: “…”
