In the Presidential Suite of Liang City Grand Hotel, a man and a woman are tangled together, their bedsheet in complete disarray.
Yu Wei stares blankly at the ceiling that seems to constantly sway in and out of focus, biting her lip and enduring the painful assault below her.
In her mind, the image of her younger sister, Yu An, coaxing her to drink the wine laced with drugs, appears vividly.
"Big sister," she whispered into her ear, "please, bear a child for me."
The man on top of her, a man named Bai Chi Chen.
Yu Wei knows him, yet, she doesn't truly know him.
With his eyes closed, the man fiercely continues his onslaught, prolonging what has already been a long, grueling encounter since the previous night. His faint scent of tobacco, intertwined with the smell of his cologne, lingers at the tip of her nose, causing Yu Wei to lose herself in it time and again.
Yu Wei knows that Bai Chi Chen possesses a pair of narrow yet profound eyes. However, he has never truly looked at her.
The cold moonlight sprinkles over the white Nordic-style furniture, giving off a different romantic flavor. The night is long, filled with both joy and sorrow.
As dawn slightly breaks, Yu Wei forcefully sits upright and, having endured the sharp pain, hastily dresses herself while the man is still deep in slumber, quickly making her quiet escape.
Just as she steps out of the room barely a moment, a man in black seizes her by the waist and throws her over his shoulder. After the previous night's battle, she was in no shape to put up any resistance. Dangling upside down, Yu Wei only manages to scream.
"Help! Somebody help!"
Her terrified cry echoes through the hotel corridor while a man covers her mouth and nose with a fluffy towel.
Her consciousness fades; Yu Wei drops into unconsciousness.
When she comes to again, she feels an intense pain as if she has been run over by a car. Especially between her legs, a mixture of sharp pain and stickiness prompts her brows to tightly knit.
Yu Wei found herself in a room with drawn curtains, where only her breathing and heartbeat could be heard due to the tranquility.
"Wei Wei, how are you?"
Being assisted to sit up, Yu Wei recognized who it was and pushed her away out of madness, crying out hoarsely, "Get away from me!"
Her eyes were bloodshot, and her nasal tip felt sour.
Standing aside, Shi Zikang looked at Yu Wei's trembling body with guilt. But all Yu Wei wanted to do was laugh.
She had admired Shi Zikang for three years and pursued him for the same period. Yet, Shi Zikang's agreement to date her was just to get closer to her younger sister, Yu An! He even offered her to another man, all just to win a smile from Yu An!
Supporting herself with her hands behind her, Yu Wei saw a familiar figure not far away.
Yu An.
In the darkness, Yu An was slowly moving away from her. "Yesterday was your ovulation period. A wild night with Bai Chichen should result in a baby, right?" A hint of a smile surfaced on Yu An’s finely made-up face. "This villa was specifically arranged for you. Here, you will have people taking care of you. You can live here securely in the following days."
Yu Wei felt cold. She wanted to wrap her arms around herself, only to find that she was completely powerless. Last night's madness had totally exhausted her.
Yu Wei widened her eyes and glared, "Do you think having Bai Chichen's child can hide the fact that you're infertile for life? Yu An, you're oversimplifying it! Bai's family isn't a toy for you to manipulate!"
Yu An simply laughed indifferently, "You don't need to worry about that. As long as the child inherits the bloodlines of both the Bai and Yu families, that will be sufficient, right?"
Such a straightforward statement was like a sharp sword thrusting straight into Yu Wei's heart.
"Shi Zikang, do you like such a woman?"
Yu Wei thought she would see disappointment in Shi Zikang's eyes, but all she saw was intense adoration.
Yu An looked coldly at Yu Wei, stood up and walked out, Shi Zi Kang hastily followed him. Just as he was about to leave the room, Yu An glanced back, his eyes filled with irony.
"Yu An, don't forget your little brother is still lying in the hospital..."
Yu Wei's body tensed up, "What are you trying to do?!"
"I just want to tell you, if you dare to harm yourself and the child in your womb, your brother will experience the same pain. Yu Wei, behave yourself."
With that, she stormed out, closing the door behind her.
Yu Wei lay on the bed, physically and emotionally exhausted.
Her large teardrops fell like broken pearls, disappearing into her hair.
