After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

It's unclear how long they kissed before Yu Yunting finally let her go.

Jane leaned weakly against the door, panting slightly, feeling dizzy.

His kiss was extremely aggressive; his tongue forcefully pried open her lips, turning her whole body upside down, making it difficult for her to breathe, and causing her brain to feel somewhat oxygen-deprived.

Her nose and teeth were filled with his scent; she was enveloped in it, with nowhere to hide.

Although he released her, Jane felt his hand go around to her back and tug at the zipper of her skirt.

"No... Don't you remember our promise?" She opened her eyes and looked at him.

Although she said that, she had long since lost the strength to resist.

"It's just past 12 o'clock, and it's a new week again." His sarcastic voice rang in my ears.

Jane Ailing turned her head and looked at the clock on the wall; it was exactly 12 o'clock.

One leg was lifted up, and she felt as if her whole body was being lifted. She could only barely touch the ground with her remaining leg, barely able to stand on tiptoe.

She leaned against the smooth door, her hands empty, unable to grasp anything.

Why... here...?

Jane felt that Yu Yunting was deliberately trying to make her suffer.

Or rather, he wanted to use this method to vent his frustrations and punish her.

But Jian Ailing was holding her breath, refusing to say anything to appease or beg for mercy, not even uttering a sound. She bit her lip tightly, trying not to make a sound.

Yu Yunting sneered as he grabbed her chin, forcing her to open her mouth again.

"Well……"

After he pried her mouth open, Jian Ailing seemed to deflate completely. Her whole body felt sore and numb, and she finally couldn't hold on any longer. Her legs, which were on tiptoe, gave way, and she was about to fall down.

Yu Yunting easily pulled her into his arms and carried her to the bed.

Jane turned her head to one side, closed her eyes and breathed rapidly, but her lips remained tightly pursed.

"Why are you keeping your eyes closed? Are you imagining I'm someone else?" His hoarse voice rang out, carrying a hint of accusation and anger.

Jane opened her eyes and looked into those dark, deep eyes that showed no light.

"Haven't you always liked using me as a substitute? Why don't you try it yourself?"

"Then you should try... try what happens when you use me as a substitute."

Jane gripped the sheets tightly, finally unable to hold back a soft moan.

But she still refused to back down, biting her lip hard, her eyes red and misty.

The man seemed determined to make her beg for mercy.

Their skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and even with the air conditioning on, Jian Ailing felt as if she were being steamed. It was a heat emanating from within.

The two remained in a silent, tense standoff, with only the sounds of their touching and the creaking of the bed echoing in the large room…

Jane Ailing wondered if she had lost consciousness later in a daze.

Otherwise, why does she seem to have no memory of what happened afterward?

When she woke up again, she was still lying on Yu Yunting's big bed.

She was alone in the room, curled up in the blankets, completely naked.

Jane tried to move, but the soreness, numbness, and swelling all over her body made her gasp.

Her whole body ached and felt swollen. Fortunately, Yu Yunting didn't let her go back last night, otherwise she might not have been able to walk.

It took Jane Ailing a while to adjust before she slowly sat up from the bed.

She lingered for a long time, and only when she felt her strength returning did she slowly get out of bed.

Jane bent down with great effort and picked up the dress from the side of the bed, only to find that the zipper had been torn.

She could only barely manage to walk into the bathroom, rinse herself off, then wrap herself in a towel and return to her room.

Jane walked to the sink and was quickly startled by her reflection in the mirror.

How could she...

She unconsciously touched her swollen lips. Besides her swollen lips, her neck and collarbone were also covered with deep red marks.

She looked as disheveled as a broken doll.

The traces he left behind silently reminded us just how crazy last night had been.

Jane closed her eyes, trying to recall what happened last night, but only felt a splitting headache.

Never mind, I'll stop thinking about it for now.

She filled the bathtub with water and slowly soaked in it, feeling her body relax and the tension subside.

All she remembered was that she had been provoking Yu Yunting all night, and she must have made him furious.

Jane Ailing grinned and gave a bitter laugh, feeling a sense of having successfully avenged herself.

Although it's a method that inflicts eight hundred damages on the enemy while also losing a thousand of your own.

After taking a shower, she felt much better. She wrapped herself in a towel, tidied up her dress and underwear, and quickly returned to her room.

Jane looked at her phone and found that many people had sent her messages.

[Zhu Yan]: Lingling, Ding Chongwen's ex-girlfriend told me today that he's dead!

[Zhu Yan]: It seems to be a suicide. She took poison in an abandoned warehouse at the foot of Qinggang Mountain.

Ding Chongwen...

Still hungover, Jane's mind wasn't quite right, and it took her a while to remember who this person was.

He and his accomplices captured her and took her to Qinggang Mountain, but Yu Yunting saved her.

But after that, the man completely disappeared. Yu Yunting also didn't reveal what he had done to him that day.

[Jane Ailing]: What happened? Why did he suddenly commit suicide?

Did he really... commit suicide?

[Zhu Yan]: I don't know. The police didn't summon me. They just contacted another ex-girlfriend of his to confirm the situation.

[Zhu Yan]: Didn't they say he was in debt? He must have owed a huge sum of money that he couldn't fill, and he was driven to his death by his creditors.

Although Ding Chongwen was an utterly wicked man, Jian Ailing's feelings were still somewhat complicated when she heard the news of his death.

Especially considering the circumstances under which he disappeared...

She scrolled through the chat window and saw Zhou Zean's message again.

[Zhou Zean]: Ai Ling, did that man do anything to you?

[Zhou Zean]: Have I dragged you into this?

[Zhou Zean]: If you need money, come to me anytime.

Implicated...

Jane bit her nails as a bad thought suddenly popped into her head.

Rather than saying that Zhou Zean implicated her, it would be more accurate to say that she implicated Zhou Zean.

Yesterday, she insisted on drinking, and she got herself completely drunk.

She said a lot of hurtful things to Yu Yunting. Although Jian Ailing didn't quite remember what she said, Yu Yunting seemed convinced that she and Zhou Zean had an ambiguous relationship.

She was so angry at the time that she didn't want to explain to him at all.

Jane suddenly remembered that the man had said that what he hated most was infidelity...
