Yu Sangwan was imprisoned by Gong Hongming.

With Gong Hongming's wealth, finding a place to keep Yu Sangwan shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Yu Sangwan gave up screaming and shouting. She knew it was useless; once Gong Hongming was angered, what might a man of his age do?

Gong Hongming didn't return until the evening, and upon his return, he went upstairs to find Yu Sangwan.

"Mr. Gong." Yu Sangwan smiled, showing no signs of reluctance on her face. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Her smile caused Gong Hongming's vigilance to relax a bit, and his gaze softened. "I heard from the servants that you didn't have dinner? Were you waiting for me?"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan tried hard to remain calm, "You know, I don't like eating alone."

This pleased Gong Hongming. Although he had already eaten outside, he was in high spirits, "Shall we go downstairs, and I'll accompany you with a bit... or should I have them send it up?"

A man and a woman alone in the same room? Yu Sangwan wasn't that foolish.

"Let's go to the dining room! I haven't been downstairs all day."

Being so compliant, Gong Hongming was willing to go along, "Alright, let's go to the dining room."

Downstairs in the dining room, the servants had set the table. Gong Hongming placed a hand on Yu Sangwan's shoulder as they sat down. Yu Sangwan was tense all over, biting her teeth to refrain from showing disgust.

"You've just arrived and might not know if this chef suits your taste; come... try it."

Gong Hongming was quite attentive, thoughtfully serving her food.

Yu Sangwan absentmindedly nodded, "It's pretty good."

Her phone was taken by Gong Hongming. She had to find a way to contact the outside world!

Yu Sangwan held her soup bowl, glanced at Gong Hongming, and smiled, "Why aren't you eating? Just watching me eat?"

"I've eaten already, and besides, even if I hadn't, watching you fills me up." Gong Hongming smiled slightly, with deep cunning in the lines by his eyes, speaking with utmost ambiguity, "Haven't you heard... beauty is a delicacy? To me, you're that beauty."

"..."

Yu Sangwan's heart raced as she forced a smile.

Holding the spoon, she brought a spoonful of soup to Gong Hongming's lips, "I don't care, you said you'd eat a bit with me, come... take a sip."

Gong Hongming was stunned. Her antics almost made him melt. Suddenly, he grabbed her hand, his gaze deep, "Alright, since it's fed by you, I must drink it..."

"..." In her heart, Yu Sangwan wished she could hack this old pervert to pieces!

Keeping a smile on her face, her hand trembled, "Oops! Sorry, I'm so careless!"

The spoon tilted, spilling soup all over Gong Hongming.

"What should we do?" Yu Sangwan hurriedly grabbed a napkin to help him wipe, "Seems like it won't clean up; you should go change your clothes!"

Gong Hongming frowned, seeing her teasing yet anxious look, smiled, "Take your time eating; I'll go change and then accompany you. No need to rush... it's just clothes, I'm a man, tough-skinned and all, it won't scald me."

Saying that, he still shook her hand before turning to go upstairs.

Yu Sangwan didn't have time to shake off the goosebumps; she quickly got up, grabbed the nearby landline, and dialed Lady Gong's number.

"Hello?" Lady Gong's voice was drowsy, obviously unaware of who was calling.

"It's me!" Yu Sangwan didn't have much time and spoke urgently, "I've been locked up by Gong Hongming! Hurry and come save me!"

"What?" Lady Gong was both angry and shocked, "Gong Hongming, that beast!"

"Enough!" Yu Sangwan was impatient, "What's the use of scolding him now? Think of a way quickly... also..."

Yu Sangwan saw servants approaching and clearly didn't have much time. She originally intended to call Le Zhengsheng, but now she had to ask Lady Gong to do it, "Listen, I don't have time... contact Lezheng Family's young master Le Zhengsheng! He will come to save me; you alone may not be able to deal with Gong Hongming!"

The servants came over, and Yu Sangwan hurriedly hung up the phone.

Then, seemingly composed and nonchalant, she sat down and leisurely sipped her soup.

Her heart, however, beat anxiously... When will Lady Gong come? And Le Zheng? Will Le Zheng come?

...

Lady Gong hung up the phone and rushed out of the house.

She was extremely angry; she would never forgive Gong Hongming, that beast! But, as a woman, if something truly happened, how could she stand against Gong Hongming?

"That's right, Young Master Le Zheng!"

Lady Gong remembered, that time by the seaside, seeing Le Zhengsheng come to pick up Yu Sangwan... In situations like today, Yu Sangwan specially asked for Le Zhengsheng, it seems their relationship isn't simple! At the very least, it should be more than just a simple man-woman relationship.

Thinking this, she pressed the accelerator...

"I want to see your young master Le Zheng, is he in?"

At the gate, Lady Gong anxiously negotiated with the guard.

"Madam..." The guard was about to say that Le Zhengsheng was out when a car drove up, it was Le Zhengsheng's.

"Our young master is back."

Lady Gong quickly turned to look over, the car stopped, and Le Zhengsheng poked his head out, "What's the matter?"

"Young Master Le Zheng!" Lady Gong immediately rushed over.

Le Zhengsheng frowned, "Madam, you look familiar!"

"Whether I'm familiar is not important." Lady Gong was terribly anxious, "Wanwan is in danger!"

"Wanwan?" Le Zhengsheng's heart tightened; he'd been searching for her all day with no news. Hearing this news now, how could he not be nervous?

"What happened to Wanwan?"

Seeing him so tense, Lady Gong felt slightly comforted, "It's a long story, let's get in the car... I'll explain on the way!"

"Get in the car!"

Le Zhengsheng looked at Lady Gong through the rearview mirror and suddenly remembered, "You are... Lady Gong?"

"..." Lady Gong's face stiffened, "Yes."

"How did you know Wanwan was in trouble?" Le Zhengsheng was too worried about Yu Sangwan; he hadn't asked many questions earlier.

Lady Gong chuckled bitterly, "It's embarrassing to say... Wanwan, she's been targeted by that beast Gong Hongming..."

At this, she suddenly paused.

But Le Zheng also understood, in what kind of environment did he grow up? He was long accustomed to such matters.

"You mean?" Le Zhengsheng was taken aback and astonished, "Gong Hongming has his eyes on Wanwan?"

Before Lady Gong could speak, he suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the steering wheel!

"Damn it! Beast!" Le Zhengsheng, furious, was breathing heavily, "That old thing dares to lay a finger on Wanwan!"

Seeing his reaction, Lady Gong softly asked, "If I may ask, what is your relationship with Wanwan?"

"..." Le Zhengsheng was stunned, then asked Lady Gong back, "Does that concern you?"

He pressed the accelerator further, the car sped up, "Lady Gong, if your husband does this, don't blame me for not showing your Gong Family any respect! Wanwan, she's my girlfriend!"
