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

The last man Yu Yunting dealt with died yesterday in an abandoned warehouse at the foot of Qinggang Mountain.

Oh no... Has she committed a terrible crime?

Jane hugged her arms. Despite the hot weather, she felt a chill creeping up from the bottom of her heart for no apparent reason.

Will he vent his anger on Zhou Ze'an?

They are both innocent. Will Zhou Ze'an be forced to bear those unfounded crimes because of her provocation yesterday, and thus be blamed by Yu Yunting?

Jane Ailing hurriedly dialed Zhou Ze'an's number.

"Ailing, what's wrong?" The call was answered quickly. Hearing that familiar voice, Jane Ailing immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine... I just wanted to hear your voice."

The man on the other end of the phone seemed to chuckle softly, "You can call me anytime, no matter how late."

Jane Ailing's mind was in a mess, and she didn't think carefully about the meaning behind his words. "Um... Brother Ze'an, you'd better be careful when you go out these few days. If you don't have anything else to do, go home early."

She wasn't sure if the man would actually do something, but she knew she couldn't afford to gamble.

She couldn't bear to watch the person she trusted most be in danger.

"What happened?"

"It's okay... I'll handle it. Be careful."

Jane Ai-ling nestled on the sofa, only now realizing how frightening it was.

She was completely drunk at the time and blurted out everything on her mind, indulging in a moment of verbal sparring. She felt good, but she didn't consider the consequences of her words at all.

That man was not only her husband, but also a member of the Yu family.

The successor of the family that could turn the tide in Dragon City.

Sitting blankly in the room still made Jian Ailing very uneasy. After thinking for a long time, she finally took out her phone and called Yu Yunting.

As expected, the call was not answered.

Jane called Xu Cheng again, and this time the call was answered quickly.

"Mrs. Yu, is there anything I can help you with?"

For some reason, he addressed her as the distant Mrs. Yu again, but Jian Ailing had no time to dwell on it. "Xu Cheng, what is Yu Yunting doing?"

"Mr. Yu is in a meeting, a very important one, it'll probably last all afternoon. Is there something you need him for?"

"Oh, it's okay, just keep busy."

It's better for him to keep busy; if he's busy, he won't have time to care about her affairs.

Throughout the afternoon, Jian Ailing's emotions shifted between trepidation and anxiety.

She both looked forward to Yu Yunting's return and was afraid of seeing him actually come back.

As night fell, she ate alone in the restaurant. After finishing her dinner, the door was pushed open.

The man is back.

The moment Jane looked into his eyes, she felt a chilling, murderous aura. His deep eyes seemed to hold the depths of the ocean, revealing not a trace of light.

Yu Yunting glanced at her briefly before quickly heading towards the stairs.

Jane Ailing quickly stood up and chased after him, grabbing the hem of his clothes at the top of the stairs.

"Yu Yunting...last night...I'm sorry." She stammered, "I was wrong."

"Where did I go wrong?" He didn't turn around. Although his voice sounded flat, his deep tone inexplicably gave off a sense of oppression.

"I... I shouldn't have said those things, and I shouldn't have drunk so much."

Yu Yunting sneered, turned his head and looked down at her condescendingly, "Jian Ailing, didn't you say that if you don't think you've done anything wrong, you don't need to apologize?"

"Do you really think you were wrong?"

"Last night, I didn't go on a date with Zhou Ze'an. We were celebrating my brother's birthday. I still have the cake order record on my phone, I can send it to you anytime." Jian Ailing looked up and tried her best to explain to him.

"Could you... forgive us?" She didn't dare mention Zhou Ze'an's name directly, fearing it would anger him. But she couldn't completely avoid the topic either.

"Ha...we."

"No, I..."

Jane Ailing wanted to say something more, but Yu Yunting didn't give her the chance and went straight upstairs.

"Wait..." Jane chased after him upstairs, but when she walked a little faster, she felt waves of soreness in her body.

As Yu Yunting closed the door, she suppressed her discomfort and followed him into the room.

"Yu Yunting, I didn't betray you... Zhou Zean and I aren't in that kind of relationship, we're just ordinary friends."

Yu Yunting didn't answer her question; he just sat on the sofa and loosened his tie.

"You didn't betray me, but that doesn't stop you from thinking about someone else." He looked at her with a half-smile, his lips were upturned, but his eyes were full of mockery and devoid of warmth. "Who was it that said yesterday that they wanted to use me as a substitute?"

"You act crazy every time you see Zhou Ze'an. Are you even a normal friend?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Jian Ailing forced herself to walk up to him, sit down next to him, and force a fawning smile. "You were never a substitute, only I was."

Although saying these words made her feel terrible, she had no other choice.

"Let me do it..." She took the initiative to raise her hand to take off his tie and belt, and lingered on her hand after taking off the belt.

"What are you doing?" Yu Yunting frowned.

"I want to prove to you that there is no one else in my heart..." Jian Ailing's hands did not stop. She simply gritted her teeth and pounced on Yu Yunting on the sofa.

She seemed to have no better way to quell his anger, and if this could appease him, Jane Ailing wouldn't mind.

You have to take responsibility for the trouble you caused.

The faint marks on her collarbone and neck were faintly visible beneath her nightgown, silently reminding him of what had happened the night before.

Yu Yunting reached under the hem of her skirt and touched her tender, swollen skin, causing Jian Ailing to wince in pain, but she gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound.

"Even though you haven't fully recovered, you still force yourself to please me, just to plead for your first love?" He narrowed his eyes, his other hand already clenched into a fist. "How deeply devoted you are, Jane Ailing."

Jane opened her mouth, but found that she didn't even know where to begin in her defense.

"Get out." Yu Yunting pushed the person off him and stood up from the sofa.

"Don't go..." Jane tried to pull him away by his clothes. "It's okay, I can endure it..."

She could clearly feel his body reacting, so why did he push her away?

"Can't you understand human language?" Yu Yunting lowered his eyes and glanced at her. "Don't come into my room so casually in the future."

Seeing her fawning over him to protect another man, even disregarding her own body, filled him with disgust.

Yu Yunting walked into the bathroom without looking back and slammed the door shut.
