Standing in front of those rows of tall bookshelves, she tried her best to find books she could read. She looked for a long time with a head full of sweat, but she still couldn't find anything.

Just as she was feeling regretful, Butler Xu knocked on the door and entered with a pile of books in his hands.

"Autumn Leaf, Dragon One just delivered your textbooks."

"Aiya, this is great!"

She took her textbook as if it were her most precious treasure.

"In addition, the young master sent someone to deliver these books for you!"

Housekeeper Xu smiled again.

"Is that so?"

When she received the books with waning enthusiasm, she discovered that they were all popular female novels. A radiant smile immediately blossomed on her small face.

"That's great. Otherwise, how boring would this week be?"

In the following week, Autumn Leaf would spend every day of every day in that warm study, earnestly studying the lessons she had left behind. When she was tired, she would hug the books she had bought and relax.

She suddenly became addicted to this comfortable life where clothes came and went, and food came. No wonder so many young girls sold their bodies for money and pleasure. Uh …

Although she was one of these people, her original intention wasn't to enjoy herself.

It wasn't easy for her to wait until a new week had passed, and the wound on her shoulder was already starting to heal. There was no longer any itchy or excessively sharp pain, only allowing time for the wound to heal. As long as she was careful not to move too violently every day, it should not be a problem.

She packed her things excitedly on Sunday night, waiting to see her off to University City, but her excitement was in stark contrast to someone's sullen face.

For some reason, when he saw her impatient smile, Zhuang Shili couldn't help but get angry.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Damn woman! There had never been a woman in his house before. Not only did she not shed tears of gratitude, she could not wait to leave!

"That's right!" Because you can go back to class tomorrow! "

She smiled faintly at him, her small face beaming with joy. She could finally say goodbye to this kind of life.

"It's better if you stay here. In the morning, let the driver drive you to class!"

He stared at her for a long time with a complicated expression on his face. He opened his mouth and said something that frightened even himself. Uncontrollably, he urged her to stay!

"No need, no need to go through all that trouble, I can just live in the Higher Education Mega Centre …"

Autumn Leaf's voice grew softer and softer as she rejected him, because of his gloomy expression. However, she didn't want her classmates to see it, and she didn't want others to criticize her.

Zhuang Shili's face sank, his black eyes filled with amusement.

"Is studying so important to you?"

"Of course, that is something that I will depend on in the future!"

Autumn Leaf nodded with all her might, replying in an extremely sincere manner.

He leaned toward her suddenly and lifted her small chin with his big hand. His dark eyes were fixed on her.

"Why are you working so hard? Do I not give you enough money? "Don't you like living a life where you don't have to worry about food and clothing?"

His words caused her to tense up, and her bright smile gradually faded from her palm-sized face. Ignoring her strange behavior, his black eyes unrestrainedly swept across her exquisite figure, and his rough fingers lightly caressed her smooth and tender skin.

"Based on my current interest in you, I don't mind if you sign for another four years!"

"I won't sign again!"

She glared at him and spoke firmly. Her small body suddenly trembled non-stop. She could see the end of those clear and limpid eyes of hers. There was shame, anger, and humiliation … All in all, this made him very unhappy. Was there really such pain in being a woman that he separated from at home?

"Why?"

He used more strength in his hands and looked at her with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Because... You can't give me what I want! "

She looked back at him without fear, and said it word by word.

"Ha ha!"

The corner of his mouth widened into a smile. His laugh contained an unparalleled confidence and arrogance. He couldn't afford to give it? No woman had ever dared tell him that he could not give them what they wanted.

"Then tell me …" What do you want? "

He suddenly withdrew his smile and looked at her with eyes as deep as the sea. It was impossible to see through any of her emotions.

"Love... And marriage! "

Autumn Leaf didn't know where this courage came from either. She wasn't scared into incoherent speech by his terrifying gaze, but rather had an abnormally clear mind.

"Woman, your ambition is truly not small!"

He toyed with her delicate chin, his tone ironic. She wants love and marriage? What is that?

"NO!" I do not have any ambitions, but I believe that this is the most ordinary wish of a woman, and to you, it has become an extravagant wish! "

She looked at him calmly and said very calmly,

"Just because you can't give it to us doesn't mean that other men can't either!"

There wasn't a trace of pretence in her clear eyes, but the more determined and calm she was, the more it made him uneasy, and the harder it was for him to control her.

He suddenly fell silent and calmly looked at her. He didn't say anything, nor did he do anything. However, she could feel the coldness rising up from all around her. She felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse.

"Scram!"

After a long while, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly as he slowly spat out a single word. After that, he mercilessly threw her onto the ground, ignoring the injuries on her body.

"Get the hell out of here right now!"

Autumn Leaf fell heavily onto the ground. Fortunately, the floor was covered in thick carpets, so she wasn't in too much of a sorry state. Enduring the pain in her shoulder, she struggled to get up.

"I'll have to trouble you to send someone to escort me back!"

His back was to her, and his tall figure exuded a terrifying anger. From the huge glass floor of the bedroom, she could see his cold face.

She didn't know why she would end up like this. She had clearly planned to happily return to University City, but in the end, the two of them had ended up like this.

It was her fault that she shouldn't have angered him, it was her fault that she could no longer stand by her mistress's side. She knew that after she said those words, there was a wave of anger in her heart. Angry at him for being arrogant, cold, and angry at him … Never took her seriously.

She was wrong, she knew!

Therefore, she would change her attitude in the future. It was because he had been too gentle towards her in the past few days, too indulgent, that she had forgotten her identity. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lower her head.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"Oh? What was your mistake? "

Zhuang Shili looked through the bright glass in front of him, his gaze locked onto her lowered head and eyebrows. Mo Mo Mo spoke.

She lifted her eyes from the huge glass and met the pair of sharp black eyes. Then she said calmly and indifferently,

"I was wrong not to forget my identity. Your love and marriage will be given to the woman you love. I shouldn't talk about it!"

"Housekeeper Xu!"

He let out a sudden shout that made her shiver. Was she wrong again? It should be the right choice this time. She has already apologized, why does he seem to be even more angry?

Steward Xu, who was outside the door, heard the sound and hurriedly pushed open the door. When she saw the tense scene, she did not understand how the two of them, who had just finished dinner, had managed to cause such a ruckus.

Zhuang Shili stood there coldly and said,

"Tell the driver to take her back!"
