The wind and rain were fierce. As the door was opened, a strong gust of wind blew in through the window, which had been left ajar.
Mu Yuxin, worried that the wind might disturb Mu Wanqiu, closed the door.
There was no one else in the living room. The loud crash came from a photo frame falling off the table.
The photo frame held the wedding picture of Gao Pingyang and Mu Wanqiu. The glass of the frame shattered when it fell.
As Mu Yuxin bent down to pick up the photo frame, her mouth was suddenly covered by a strong hand, and she was dragged forcefully towards a small room nearby.
That was the room Gao Pingyang had been staying in these past few days.
Mu Yuxin smelled a strong scent of alcohol. She struggled fiercely and even bit Gao Pingyang’s hand.
Gao Pingyang grunted in pain but did not release Mu Yuxin. He leaned close to her ear and grinned sinisterly, "Yuxin, your sister is about to give birth. You wouldn't want her to see what we're doing at a time like this, would you?"
The breath that escaped Gao Pingyang's mouth made Mu Yuxin feel so nauseous that she nearly threw up.
A drunk person has immense strength. Despite Mu Yuxin's desperate struggles, she was dragged into the room.
As soon as they entered, Gao Pingyang roughly shoved Mu Yuxin onto the bed, locked the door with a lecherous grin.
Mu Yuxin sensed danger. She jumped off the bed, searching for something to defend herself with, while warily facing Gao Pingyang. "Gao Pingyang, what do you want?"
"What do I want?"
Gao Pingyang let out a loud laugh. "What do you think I want? My sister-in-law, you've moved into my home and you're always around me. Don't you know what I'm thinking?"
Mu Yuxin's face turned ashen. She had initially thought Gao Pingyang was just a scumbag who loved drinking, gambling, and domestic violence. She never imagined he harbored such disgusting intentions towards her.
As Gao Pingyang walked towards her step by step, she retreated and said coldly, "You know my sister is about to give birth. What if something happens to her if she finds out you want to rape her sister?"
"Haha... wouldn't that be even better? I've wanted to divorce her for a long time. A worn-out old woman who doesn't earn a cent and is always bossing me around. As for the child in her belly, it's just a burden. Better without it."
Mu Yuxin's teeth clenched in anger. "Beast!"
Gao Pingyang seemed to relish being called a beast. "Yuxin, I am a beast, but I truly like you. Your boyfriend doesn't look like a good person. You must not be deceived by those pretty boys. People like them just want to play around with you. But I'm different. If you follow me, I'll divorce your sister, and then we can be together. I will treat you well and love only you for the rest of my life."
"Boom..."
Thunder rumbled outside. Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Gao Pingyang's face, making it look twisted and terrifying.
He extended his hands, a sinister smile on his face, and walked towards Mu Yuxin. There was nothing in the room that could be used as a weapon; clearly, Gao Pingyang had anticipated this and removed anything that could be used for self-defense.
"Yuxin, stop struggling. Tonight, even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't let you go."
With that, Gao Pingyang lunged at Mu Yuxin.
Mu Wanqiu, in the adjacent room, felt increasingly uneasy as Mu Yuxin hadn't returned. She got out of bed with difficulty, her pregnant belly cumbersome, and opened the door to go out.
"Xinxin... Xinxin..."
Mu Yuxin and Gao Pingyang were already locked in a struggle. Hearing Mu Wanqiu's voice, Mu Yuxin dared not make a sound, fearing she would frighten her.
Gao Pingyang saw her concern and became even more smug. "Shout! Let your sister hear what we're doing. She'll definitely come to save you. Then, one life and two deaths, you'll never have peace in this life."
Mu Yuxin bit her lip tightly, refraining from making a sound. Her hands, without mercy, clawed at Gao Pingyang's face, leaving several bloody scratches.
Gao Pingyang, who had intended to be gentle with Mu Yuxin, was completely enraged by her actions. He raised his hand and slapped her fiercely across the face.
Gao Pingyang was a burly man, six feet tall. The force of the slap made Mu Yuxin's head ring. She felt dizzy and disoriented, and her nose began to bleed instantly.
Gao Pingyang seized the opportunity and pushed her onto the bed.
The commotion in the room was too loud. Mu Wanqiu, hearing the noise, immediately rushed over and tried to open the door, only to find it locked.
Realizing that Xinxin couldn't have locked herself in Gao Pingyang's room, Mu Wanqiu frantically knocked on the door. "Gao Pingyang, open the door! Xinxin... Xinxin, are you in there?"
Mu Yuxin had no time to speak. She desperately tried to stop Gao Pingyang, hitting him with a pillow.
The more she resisted, the more excited Gao Pingyang became.
"Xinxin! Say something! Gao Pingyang! What are you doing to Xinxin?"
Hearing Mu Wanqiu's words, Gao Pingyang sneered. "I'm going to make her my woman. You sisters are both my women, haha!"
"What?"
Mu Wanqiu's face changed drastically. She then cried out in despair, "No, you can't do this to Xinxin! Let Xinxin go!"
Hearing Gao Pingyang's smug and lecherous laughter, Mu Wanqiu felt utterly helpless. She couldn't open the door and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, she remembered someone.
She rushed into her room, grabbed Mu Yuxin's phone. She knew Mu Yuxin's password and, with trembling fingers, entered it. She then found the contact saved as "Yang Yang" in the address book.
Guan Yang hadn't slept at all that night.
He had slept soundly the first night with Mu Yuxin by his side. Tonight, alone in the empty room, and with his mind full of Mu Yuxin, he became more and more excited and couldn't fall asleep.
The phone's ringtone coincided with a loud clap of thunder. He picked up the phone and, seeing that it was Mu Yuxin calling, his mood brightened. He answered, "What? Missing me..."
Before Guan Yang could finish speaking, he heard Mu Wanqiu's sobbing, distraught voice. "Guan Yang, Xinxin is in trouble. Come to my house quickly."
Without further thought, Guan Yang threw on his coat and dashed out into the rain.
The hotel was one kilometer away from Mu Wanqiu's house. It was difficult to get a taxi in the heavy rain, so Guan Yang couldn't wait and ran straight into the downpour.
Meanwhile, Gao Pingyang had torn Mu Yuxin's T-shirt. He gazed at her fair and beautiful chest, his eyes clouded with lust.
"Yuxin, no matter how much you struggle, tonight, you are mine!"
Mu Yuxin had never encountered anyone as disgusting as Gao Pingyang. She had thought he had improved recently, but she never imagined that a beast's nature would remain unchanged.
"Xinxin... how are you? Gao Pingyang, you beast, don't touch Xinxin..."
After calling Guan Yang, Mu Wanqiu came out and continued to knock on the door, trying to stop Gao Pingyang.
A sharp pain shot through her lower body, making her face turn as pale as paper. Sweat had already soaked her hair.
What would she do if something happened to Xinxin in her home?
"Knock, knock, knock..."
The sound of knocking suddenly echoed. She paused, first surprised at how quickly Guan Yang had arrived, and then, with great difficulty, she got up and ran to open the door.
