Hai Zhiyuan shook his head sorrowfully, âSince you lost your parents at a young age, your grandfather has always indulged you, giving in to your every desire. 1 knew marrying Dongfang Yu wouldnât bring you happiness, but I let it happen because I thought as long as you were happy, it was ok. But this over-indulgence completely ruined you.â
Allowing her to live as she pleased, never once subjected to hardship.
As a result, she couldnât even maintain a marriage, let alone fend for herself.
Even if she went back to school, thereâs no guarantee of success.
He didnât have much time left, he could die any day now.
He couldnât promise her a lifetime of care anymore, the only thing he could do was to force her to grow up quicklyâ¦
Even though it would be painful for her to accept these arrangements.
Hai Zhiyuan explained this to her, sighing, âXiaotang, your grandfather canât always give in to your personality anymore. If you listen to me, follow my instructions. Otherwise, Iâll arrange a marriage for you, and youâll have to rely on someone else for the rest of your life.â
Hai Xiaotang found this hard to take in, she understood his intentions, but she still didnât want to.
âGrandpa, does Dongfang Yu have to be the one to guide me? We could hire someone else.â
The old man had his own motivations.
He could see that Dongfang Yu had developed feelings for Hai Xiaotang.
If the two of them could reconcile, that would be the best outcome.
If Dongfang Yu could take care of her, he could rest in peace after his death.
âHeâs the best, and if youâre going to learn, you should learn from the best! Of course, if you donât want to see him, thatâs fine, Iâll find you a new husband before I die.â Hai Zhiyuan was firm in his intent, leaving no room for protest.
Hai Xiaotang could not imagine herself getting married again in this lifetime.
Thus, she didnât have any choices leftâ¦
âGrandpa, Iâll study under him.â She heard herself giving in.
Dongfang Yu had just taken a shower, and was wrapped in a towel when he heard a knock at the door.
âCome in.â He responded indifferently.
Hai Xiaotang pushed the door open and said directly, âYou can stay and guide me, but thatâs all. Thereâs absolutely no chance for us!â
Dongfang Yuâs eyes flashed. Rising, he walked towards her.
His upper body was bare. With each step, the play of light and shadow accentuated his perfect physique, his chest, his abdominal muscles, and his deep-set facial features.
He was like an embodiment of pheromones, exuding a seductive aura all over his body.
Even if Hai Xiaotang no longer had feelings for him, she couldnât ignore his charm.
The man stood in front of her, his presence restrained, âIf you accept my guidance, be prepared to face difficulties and not quit halfway, understand?â Hai Xiaotang sneered, âActually, I donât want to see you at all!â
Dongfang Yu smirked, âBut you donât have a choice.â
âYes, for Grandpaâs sake, 1 have no choice. This is my punishment, because once for you, I gave up everything!â Hai Xiaotang said with resentment.
Itâs the anger over the inability to control her own fate.
Dongfang Yu said in a low voice, âSo I will help you retrieve everything youâve lost for me!â
Hai Xiaotangâs eyes flickered, she didnât need his help to regain things.
But she couldnât keep doing things according to her own mood.
âDoes it start from tonight?â She went straight to the point without any unnecessary words.
She had to seize the moment to gain strength, only then could she get rid of him and wholly control her own life.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCome over in 2 minutes.â Dongfang Yu dropped the sentence, turned and went to get dressed..
