Ye Chen woke up the next morning.

As he was too tired yesterday, he did not even know how he had ended up falling asleep.

The wounds on his body have been cleaned up and even his clothes were changed… Wait a minute, clothes?

Clothes!

Ye Chen gave a thorough check of his body causing his already pale face to turn even paler.

Kacha—

Just then, the door to his room opened and a girl came in with a glass of milk in her hands before placing it right in front of his face. “Drink it.”

“Who changed my clothes?” asked Ye Chen torturously.

“Me,” replied Chuzheng naturally.

There was no one else here. Who could it be other than her?

Last night, she only slept for a few hours!

And it was all because of this weakling!

“You…” Ye Chen was stunned before his whole face heated up. “You changed it for me?”

Chuzheng gave a bold answer, “Is there a problem?”

‘You can’t expect me to find a nanny for you in the middle of the night right? What is this weakling thinking? He must have gone nuts after going through a beating!’

Ye Chen’s ears grew red as his heart raced and felt as if every hair on his body was standing.

He closed his eyes before saying those agonizing words, “You even changed my… underwear for me?”

“There’s blood.”

‘If I don’t change it, do I have to keep it as a memoir for you?’

Ye Chen felt even more embarrassed and could not wait to find a hole and hide in it.

“You… You…” ‘How could she do such a thing? If that’s the case, wouldn’t she have seen everything on my body?’ Ye Chen spat a few words out, “Men and women should keep a proper distance from each other.”

“You’re wounded.”

Ye Chen froze.

She changed his clothes because he was hurt… Ye Chen felt an inexplicable tightness in his heart.

What was he embarrassed about when the lady had not even said a single complaint?

Although Ye Chen consoled himself by thinking this way, his ears were still very red as he did not dare to look at Chuzheng.

“Drink it.”

Chuzheng handed him the glass of milk which she had been holding.

‘Does he even know his manners?’

‘Can’t he see that I am tired of holding the glass of milk?’

Ye Chen reached his hand out and his fingernails accidentally touched the tip of Chuzheng’s fingers. He immediately retracted his hand back as though he had been burned by her.

It was not until Chuzheng left did Ye Chen finally relax his stiff body as he stared at the door as if he was in a daze.

–

Ye Chen had to recuperate for a few days and every day, before Chuzheng headed to school, she would always lock the door making Ye Chen feel as if he was held captive in the room.

Every day, he would eat and sleep well. There would even be cleaners who would come up and tidy up the room.

Then again, the cleaner would only turn up after Chuzheng was back from school.

When she came back from school, she still had to bring his homework for him.

‘Maybe she locked me up here because she wants me to do her homework for her.’

As for that day’s happenings, she did not mention a word as though nothing had happened before.

He asked once but she only replied to him coldly and said that she would settle it. After that, she would not say anything further.

Ye Chen had also tried to request leaving this place as he did not want to trouble her further but he only had one outcome—He was fiercely threatened by her and could only continue staying here.

“Have your wounds healed?” asked Chuzheng after she came back one day.

The teenage boy did his homework while nodding. “It’s almost healed. Are you still going to cage me here?”

Towards the end of his sentence, the teenage boy furrowed his eyebrows slightly. He had to admit that he was not very angry about it.

“Come with me to a place.” Chuzheng dragged him and left.

“Where are we going… my homework…”

Ye Chen was pushed into a car and he felt that the people in the car seemed a little familiar. They were the bodyguards who had saved him previously—Bodyguard salesmen from the Wu Di Company?

“Where are we going?”

The car fell silent and the car moved into a direction he was not familiar with before eventually stopping at an unfamiliar estate.

The bodyguard opened the door for him as Ye Chen alighted from the car confusedly.

Chuzheng casually dragged him further into the estate while Ye Chen lowered his eyes and looked at her hand holding his own with a deep gaze as his lips were pursed slightly.

“Who are you finding?”

A familiar voice woke Ye Chen out of his daze as his eyes were fixed on the person before him while he wore a blank expression.

“It’s you!” The person who opened the door was Ye Chen’s auntie and after she recognized the people at her door, her sordid expression showed a hint of terror.

As her eyes scanned past Ye Chen, Auntie’s expression grew even more panicky as she broke into a cold sweat and went weak at her knees.

‘How did she find out that we were here?’

‘We have not told anyone that we have moved here!’

Chuzheng’s cold gaze scanned past her. “Are we going to talk here or talk inside?”

Behind Chuzheng was a tall and muscular bodyguard and this caused Auntie’s back to be filled with cold sweat as she opened the door to let Chuzheng and Ye Chen in.

The usually shrewd woman looked very much like a dog who had its tail between its legs right now.

Uncle walked out from the room and when he saw Chuzheng and Ye Chen, he had the same reaction as Auntie.

“Hubby.” Auntie immediately walked to Uncle’s side and held his hand. “What are we going to do? How did she find out that we are living here…”‘She even brought this jinx, Ye Chen, here.”

Previously, this girl had come to question them on Ye Chen’s whereabouts and yet now she had brought Ye Chen to their door, could this ever be a good thing?

Ye Chen sat down warily as everything in the house seemed very foreign to him. After he was saved by Chuzheng, he did not contact anyone and was not even aware that his own auntie and uncle had moved houses.

“Ye Chen…” ‘I don’t even know how Ye Chen met such a person?’ Uncle’s heart was filled with disgust, but he still kept a smile on his face. “Is this your friend?”

Ye Chen heard it and raised his head slightly. His uncle’s expression only made him feel disgusted by it.

He thought that they were already being too much previously.

However, it was only now that he realized how cruel and cold-blooded they were.

Ye Chen clenched his fists slightly as he turned his head away and refused to look at his uncle nor reply to him.

Chuzheng signaled to the person outside and a lawyer who was standing behind the bodyguard came in with a file before handing it to Chuzheng politely.

Uncle and Auntie witnessed her powerful presence and felt even more nervous as their sweat kept dropping.

Chuzheng took out a few documents from the file and placed it on the coffee table one by one.

“Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye.” The lawyer greeted them while smiling. “Both of you are Ye Chen’s guardians, am I right?”

Uncle and Auntie looked at each other and had no idea what was going on.

Chuzheng stuffed her hands in her pocket and stood at a corner. Ye Chen was sitting on the sofa beside her making the atmosphere seem very strange.

“Yes… yes…” Uncle nodded his head.

“Ye Chen’s parents have passed away in an accident and have received a compensation sum of $500,000. Their assets also include a house which was worth $1,500,000…”

The lawyer’s voice could be heard clearly in the room as the lawyer stated their assets clearly.

Uncle and Auntie’s facial expression stiffened as they could no longer stand still.

It was not until they had heard the latter part of the lawyer’s speech that both of them had finally realized that the lawyer was here to talk about Ye Chen’s parents’ assets.

“What’s the point of talking about these? As Ye Chen’s guardian, we have the right to safe keep the assets for him!” said auntie shamelessly.

The lawyer chuckled, “But based on what Mr. Ye Chen has said, these assets have already been spent by the both of you.”

Ye Chen was stumped. “…”

‘I have not even seen you before!’

‘I didn’t even see you in the car just now!’

‘When did I say such a thing?’

‘Besides the house… I had already hidden the property deed earlier…’

“Who… who said so? There’s no such thing!” denied Auntie immediately. “He is still so young and we are just helping him manage his assets. Once he has grown up, we will return it to him.”

“Both of you must be familiar with this contract?”
