Before Zhaoyang could say anything, her mother dragged her upstairs. It was not easy as Zhaoyang struggled like a fish out of water.
Let me go! Let me go!
The more Zhaoyang heard the whipping, the harder she thrashed. Her mother moved rather hastily nevertheless. They had already gotten into the room as the door was slammed shut.

I said—let me go!
Zhaoyang swept her mother’s arms away.

Lu Zhao Yang. Aren’t you great? Hooking up with Huo Chen? Did you not know that he’s your UNCLE?
Madam Xue glared at her.

What’s wrong even if he’s my uncle? You haven’t known your husband when we were dating!
Lu Zhaoyang made a fierce comeback.
Well, she technically was not bonded with Chen but the elopement was already a giveaway announcing their unusual relationship.


Madam Xue panted heavily as rage was boiling in her,
If that was the past, fine. What about NOW? You NOW know he’s your uncle, yet you decided to run away with him! How can you be such a shameless child!

If eloping with Chen would be labelled as being shameless, imagine if Zhaoyang’s mother knew what happened to Zhaoyang and Huo Yunting.

Well, and here I am, coming back home after a runaway so that you can stay here peacefully with your new husband. Regarding Chen and I, you need not to worry, it is nothing close to what you all imagined. Even if we were dating, what’s the problem with that? Chen had made it clear. We aren’t blood-related. So, there’s no incest!

I mean seriously, mom, stop being so dramatic. My nomical brother, Huo Yunting is already my husband. So what’s wrong to date my nomical uncle?


Chen? You aren’t supposed to call that. You… You…
Madam Xue could no longer hold her forceful palm as it landed a hit right on Zhaoyang’s face.
… Mommy?

As far as I could remember as a child, mommy and I had always been the friendliest, happiest mother-and-daughter in the neighborhood. She was gentle and forgiving—never once she had hit me before.

Not this hard…

It felt like a scorching imprintment on her sin.

Can you be anymore shameless? What did I do to deserve all this? I warn you, Lu Zhao Yang, do not, I repeat, DO NOT see him anymore, TODAY onwards!
Madam Xue patted her pounding chests in pain. She never imagined things going like this before.



Okay. You are done with your lecture.
Lu Zhaoyang stared at her mother, clenching her fist,
You can leave now.


Lu Zhao Yang!
Her mother screamed.
What attitude is this? What do you mean by those words? Do you think you could avoid responsibilities by chasing me away?　　


Have I not been obeying you all? You wanted me home so I came. You wanted me to not take the whips for Chen, I did so too. What more do you want? Do you want me to have a talk-to with the law of Huo family as well?

My own mother turning against me. When I chose to take all these agonies, when I chose my mother over my own freedom, she chose somebody else…

Who else could I rely on other than Chen?


S-stay in your room! Do not have anything else going on with him anymore! You two can never be together. Granny would not allow it. I will not allow it either!
Madam Xue gave a last snort before leaving the room hurriedly.
Lu Zhaoyang froze there for the next few minutes, as she felt her cheeks sizzling in ache.
I knew we both can’t make it. I don’t need everyone else in this house to remind me.

She then heard more footsteps coming from the corridor. A few people hit upstairs.


Right! Chen’s room is just next door!

Zhaoyang ran to the door so frantically that she nearly tripped herself.
I must see him! I hope he’s alright!

The moment she peeked through her door, she saw a group of people entering Chen’s room.
Chen was there too.
Being carried.
