A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Knowing that Meng Zhixue didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the city and wanted her own space, and that she wasn't comfortable living in a large apartment, Zhou Yu specially bought a small apartment for her.

But to his surprise, her first reaction wasn't surprise, but shock, thinking he wanted to get rid of her with a house.

That night, the two were together. She looked at him through teary eyes, hugged him and cried softly, saying that she didn't want to leave him.

He was very happy.

But more than anything, I feel sorry for them.

Having investigated her background, he knew that she was an unloved child who always felt anxious about what she received because she received so little.

Simply put, it's about constantly feeling unworthy.

If others are too nice to her, she will want to run away.

To avoid scaring her, he made an excuse that he had rented the small apartment to give her as a secret base.

Hearing this, she did feel much more relaxed.

When he was away on business for more than three days, she would stay at his small apartment.

According to her, she felt that a small apartment was like a snail's shell; it didn't need to be big, just big enough for a tiny snail.

A shell that's too big would be tiring for a small snail to carry.

The small shell is not only suitable for the snail, but also makes it easier for the snail to feel safe.

He found her cute and indulged her even more.

Every now and then, he would go along with her and spend the night in her "snail shell".

Although the small apartment wasn't even as big as the master bedroom in the large penthouse, since she liked it, he was willing to pamper her in every corner of the small apartment.

There are also advantages.

At least, when she cried and said she couldn't take him anymore, in that cramped space, he could almost reach out and grab her back.

But one day, after he returned from a business trip and they had just spent time together in their small apartment, while he was sleeping in bed adjusting to the time difference, her friend came to visit.

She was very open with this friend named Xue Mei, without much suspicion, and warmly wanted to invite her friend to dinner at home, even saying she would cook herself.

But Xue Mei climbed into his bed while he was out buying groceries.

He sensed something was wrong the moment Xue Mei approached...

The smell is wrong, the sound is wrong, even the feeling of cautiously approaching is wrong...

Nothing is right.

That time, he got very angry.

He couldn't bear to raise his voice at her; he could only vent all his anger during intimate moments with her.

once?

twice?

No, it has to continue until he's satisfied.

Even though she cried pitifully and adorably, he was still angry and wouldn't let her go, as if he was holding a grudge.

Her cries seemed more like an invitation to him, fueling his destructive urges.

But to his relief, his poor little thing wasn't completely brainless.

Once you've been fooled, you won't be fooled a second time.

She cut off all contact with the friend who had wronged her quite decisively, without him having to intervene.

Of course, she was still soft-hearted. Xue Mei did something to wrong her, and she just cried silently for several days, but decided to cut ties with her.

If someone pissed her off, she would fluff up and run away.

He never even considered revenge.

But he is not.

After investigation, he discovered that the woman named Xue Mei was extremely wicked.

Her actions were not limited to "stealing men"; Xue Mei also ruined and destroyed all her previous jobs.

He naturally wouldn't tell her about these unpleasant past events, but he wouldn't easily let Xue Mei, who had hurt her, off the hook.

He didn't even need to deal with her personally. He only needed to give the owner of Night Duke Nightclub a hint, and someone would naturally take care of Xue Mei to curry favor with him.

Of course, he wouldn't let her know any of this.

She was so timid and pitiful.

What if she finds out and thinks he's heartless, or even becomes afraid of him and doesn't want to be close to him anymore?

Keeping it from her is, of course, the best option.

Worried that she might be upset, he bought her a lot of clothes and bags in her favorite style to cheer her up.

white.

All white.

Especially white dresses.

He actually thought she had a pretty and charming appearance and would look even more beautiful in brightly colored dresses, but she preferred white, so he chose to respect that.

It doesn't matter.

He's a grown man; he's not so domineering as to force the woman he likes to change her aesthetic preferences to suit his tastes.

However, after giving her many white dresses, he realized that something was amiss.

He noticed that she suddenly became nervous again, and even a little aggrieved.

She felt much more at ease after having had an intimate relationship with Mingming.

Before he could ask her anything, he suddenly caught her secretly trying on a pale yellow dress in the bedroom.

The beautiful and charming woman had also braided a pigtail and draped it diagonally over her left shoulder, secretly enjoying herself like a little mouse admiring herself in the mirror.

But upon seeing him, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked terrified, as if she had made a mistake and was afraid he would be angry.

It was during this time that he suddenly realized something was wrong between them.

Suddenly I understood why she "liked" white dresses.

She didn't actually like white dresses; she just pretended to like them because she thought he did...

He suddenly realized that she didn't love him.

She was with him only because she wanted to depend on him, because he could provide her with food and shelter when she was struggling to make ends meet.

Because she didn't love him, she wasn't sad at all when she thought she was just a substitute.

He thought they were in a relationship, but she only saw herself as "going to work".

Her worry stemmed from the fear of losing her "job".

Zhou Yu experienced heartbreak for the first time.

I feel like an idiot.

Misfortune never comes singly.

Just then, he received a ransom call; his parents, who were traveling abroad, had gone missing and been kidnapped.

Left with no other choice and also with a bit of a defiant attitude, he left the country in a hurry without saying goodbye to her.

After arriving abroad, he was extremely busy.

They need to outmaneuver the kidnappers, prevent them from killing the hostages, and cooperate with the local police to maintain the upper hand, find the parents as soon as possible, and rescue them in time.

As things continued to unfold, he gradually began to feel that something was amiss.

He discovered that behind this kidnapping case was the shadow of his so-called first love, his white moonlight.

His so-called first love, the white moonlight, didn't actually die. Instead, she faked her death and went abroad to study, keeping most people in China in the dark.

Another person has been added to the list of those trying to mediate.

He was afraid that Meng Zhixue would overthink and ask too many questions, and since he didn't want to lie to her, he dared not contact her anymore.

He thought that he should resolve the trouble as soon as possible and return to China to talk to her face to face and clear up her mind, which would be much smoother than communicating by phone.

Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, they can be together properly from now on.

If she is willing to love him, he is not incapable of considering marrying her and making her feel completely at ease.

He had a good plan, but he never imagined that she would leave him one day.

To everyone's surprise, while he was busy working tirelessly abroad, she had already resolutely thrown herself into the arms of another man.

He was still a penniless young man!
