Oh no! Drunk last night, I accidentally wandered into my ex-boyfriend's room.

How can that old lecher think about this kind of thing all day long!

Are they even going to give her a way to survive?

Lin Qian blushed and broke free from him. "No, it's the first day of my period today."

Lu Beiting rubbed her lower abdomen. "Alright, I'll let you off the hook for this week."

"..."

What does that mean?

Will she be unable to escape after a week?

After taking a shower upstairs, Lin Qian crawled into bed and soon drifted off to sleep.

Lu Beiting was still in the bathroom, as if he had been showering for a very long time.

When she came out, she was holding a light pink lace bra in her hand.

He's already made it dirty.

Lin Qian's drowsiness vanished instantly. She quickly sat up, a flush spreading across her face, and stammered, "..."

"Lu Beiting! How could you...do such a thing with my underwear!"

"There's nothing I can do, the baby's on her period today, so I'll just have to make do."

Lu Beiting threw back the covers and got into bed, saying seriously, "I'll buy you more clothes from now on. You can give me your old ones; don't waste them."

Lin Qian: "???"

No, is that right?

"Go to sleep," Lu Beiting leaned closer, lowered his head and bit her earlobe, whispering, "Goodnight."

"Hmm... Goodnight."

Late that night, Lin Qian fell asleep in Lu Beiting's arms, and was also woken up by his embrace.

The man held her tighter than usual, as if he wanted to clamp her into his body, as if he was afraid she would leave.

Lin Qian felt a little short of breath from being squeezed, and opened her eyes uncomfortably.

Through the dim moonlight, she could barely make out the outline of the man's face, which was very close to hers.

After falling asleep, Lu Beiting seemed to shed the coldness and sharpness he had during the day, his brows relaxed, and he appeared even more gentle.

Lin Qian, as if possessed, raised her hand, her fingertips tracing the bridge of his nose bit by bit, and finally cupped his face.

After the breakup, she never imagined that one day she would be lying in the same bed with Lu Beiting so peacefully, in such a warm and beautiful atmosphere.

It's gotten so good it's almost unreal.

Lin Qian slowly lowered her hand, a cold tide of anxiety and uncertainty slowly rising in her heart, gradually engulfing her.

Will Lu Beiting get tired of her in the future?

How long will her relationship with Lu Beiting last...?

-

At the hospital, Xia Jichuan told his wife and daughter about his phone call with Lu Beiting.

"Shishi, Beiting means you don't need to think about him anymore. I think this marriage has to be called off."

He phrased it more tactfully, without quoting Lu Beiting's exact words.

Xia Tingshi was still lying in the hospital bed when she heard these words, and her vision went black.

Her fingernails gripped the blanket tightly, a surge of resentment rising within her.

Song Qingmei sat to the side, her face also extremely pleased. "If Shishi isn't good enough, then so be it, but what right does that bitch's daughter have? She and Bei Ting are not a good match. I think Lu Bei Ting has really misjudged her; he'll regret it sooner or later!"

Xia Jichuan waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, let's leave this matter at that for now. I'll find Shishi a better family."

After her parents left the ward, Xia Tingshi immediately called Xu Feier:

"How's your preparation going?"

Xu Feier smiled obsequiously on the other end of the phone, "Sister Shishi, don't worry! In a week, I guarantee Lin Qian will stop bothering Lu Beiting. She'll be ruined soon..."

"Hmm," Xia Tingshi finally smiled after so many days, "I ordered the Hermes bag that you said you really liked last time, I'll give it to you in a while."

"Okay, okay, I love you!"

Xia Tingshi hung up the phone expressionlessly, finally feeling much better.

Even if she can't get Lu Beiting, Lin Qian shouldn't even think about taking his place!

-

A week has quietly passed.

Are you not coming home for dinner again tonight?

Lu Beiting sent a message.

Lin Qian was sitting at her workstation, typing on her computer keyboard to reply: 【Something came up, company team building activity】

Lu Beiting: [Oh, is work more important than me?]

Lin Qian: [...]

Lu Beiting: [Address.]

Lin Qian: [You're not coming again, are you?]

But after thinking about it, Lin Qian still sent the address.

To avoid the man throwing a tantrum, which would be exhausting to appease.

Right after posting the location, Manager Zhao tagged everyone in the group chat.

After returning from a month-long business trip, Manager Zhao and Xu Feier finalized a major collaborative project and decided to book a private room for a team-building celebration.

Lin Qian's eyelids twitched, and she had a bad feeling about it.

Around 6 p.m., the team building activity took place in a large private room at a Chinese restaurant.

A dozen or so people raised their glasses in celebration, their words full of flattery towards Manager Zhao, making him feel quite elated.

Xu Feier was sitting next to Lin Qian when she accidentally knocked over Lin Qian's wine glass, wetting her own skirt in the process.

"Oh dear! I'm sorry, I need to go to the restroom to wash up first."

After he finished speaking, the waiter served Lin Qian another drink.

"Lin Qian, you have to have a drink too," Manager Zhao raised his glass to her. "Not drinking would be disrespecting me."

Lin Qian's gaze fell on the glass of wine, but she didn't drink it. She simply said:

"Sorry, my clothes are wet too, I need to go to the restroom first."

In the bathroom, Xu Feier called Xia Tingshi, covering her mouth and whispering:

"Sister Shishi, I suddenly have another idea. Could you contact a few reporters? The more sensational the gossip, the better..."

"Yeah, if they catch Lin Qian being a mistress, how could Lu Beiting possibly want that used slut anymore..."

Only after hearing the affirmative reply did Xu Feier quietly turn off her phone.

God knows how difficult it was for her to serve Manager Zhao this month. He couldn't even muster any interest in her and was getting tired of her little by little.

Since that's the case, then let Lin Qian take her place!

Back at the dining table, Xu Feier sat down with a smile and indeed saw Lin Qian clinking glasses with Manager Zhao.

She watched as Lin Qian took a sip of wine, a dark light slowly creeping into her eyes.

idiot.

Xu Feier thought this to herself, but smiled slightly and said with elegant and graceful movements, "Lin Qian, let's have a drink too."

Lin Qian smiled and replied, "Okay."

After saying that, Lin Qian drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Feier looked at the empty wine glass, a feeling of schadenfreude welling up in her chest.

But for some reason, she always felt that Lin Qian's eyes seemed to see through everything.

It gave her the creeps.

Halfway through the dinner, Xu Feier suddenly felt incredibly hot, so hot that she couldn't breathe.

However, she tried her best to remain calm and sent a message to Manager Zhao:

Honey, how about we go to the private room next door? I want something a little more exciting!

After reading the message, Manager Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Of course."

He was already feeling a bit restless from his drunkenness, and this message suited him perfectly. He stood up and said:

"Please make yourselves at home. I have something to take care of and need to go out for a bit."

No one dared to say anything, and they all nodded.

A moment later, Lin Qian also stood up and walked outside. "It's a bit hot inside, I'm going out to get some fresh air."

Xu Feier's heart pounded, a flash of joy crossing her face.

They fell for their trap!
