Episode 7: Hate or Fear

  In the early morning, the bright sunlight shines in and sprinkles on the snow-white big bed, where a girl lies quietly and beautifully.

  Yu Luo slept extremely soundly, as if someone had been by her side all night, gently stroking her back. She loved that comfortable feeling, soft and warm.

  She had woken up, but didn't immediately open her eyes. A small hand felt around on the big bed until it grasped a warm large palm. Her heart moved and she slowly opened her eyes.

  "Miss, feeling better now?"

  Mo Si quietly withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and didn't look at the surprise and disappointment on her face.

  "Mo Si, was it you who sent me back to my room last night?"

  Mo Si remained silent, Yu Luo tightly pursed her lips. It turned out that last night was just a dream after all. She was actually foolish enough to think that the person who carried her back to her room would be her brother.

  Brother dislikes her, doesn't he?

  "The young lady has caught a cold, now it's time to take medicine."

  Yu Luo nodded dazedly, got out of bed, changed her clothes and went downstairs. Mo Si and the servant were already waiting by the dinner table.

  On the empty purple wood dining table, there was no familiar figure, and she subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

  Yu Lu's stomach was a little upset, and she had only eaten a bit of grass. Mo Si received a call halfway through and went upstairs. At this time, she was in the study discussing organizational matters with Ye Xiuzhi. She casually flipped open the newspaper on the desk, and today's entertainment headline was about someone she knew all too well.

  Gate of Night, Nightly Cultivation Chamber.

  Unlike other successful people, Ye Xiu had almost never been involved in scandals. Those celebrities and socialites who flocked to him because of his stunning looks and illustrious family background all ended up with their reputations ruined.

  Today's headline heroine is a film and television newcomer who was popular for a while, someone found her in a dirty ditch and sent her to the hospital, where she is currently undergoing emergency treatment.

  Yu Luo's hands trembled as she put down the newspaper. If she wasn't mistaken, a few days ago, this female lead had attempted to break into the Night Mansion.

  Life, in Ye Xiu's eyes, was always the cheapest. She even suspected that one day, he would kill her just like he did to others.

  Fourteen years ago, when she was only five years old, she saw her brother come out of their mother's room with a terrifyingly gloomy expression. The next day, her mother committed suicide. Everyone said that her mother had betrayed the Ye family, so she was afraid, afraid that one day her brother would also take his own life.

  She hated him for driving their mother to death, yet she was also afraid of him. When he got angry, he locked her in the dungeon. He had always been stingy about giving her a glance. She just wished to grow up quickly so that she could move out and be free from her brother's sight.
