In the city of Anyang in August, the heat was as if people were being roasted on a fire.
Yet, under the blazing sun, Xia Zhenzhen felt nothing but a chilling cold throughout her body, with her nails almost piercing her palms. Her body trembled slightly as she staggered forward in high heels... with no destination in mind.
She had never imagined that the cliché of a fiancé cheating would happen to her, and the more ironic part was, the person Fang Zijie was cheating with — was a man. Her self-proclaimed happiness for over a year was nothing but a big joke.
Had she not rushed out so hastily today, she might not have discovered it.
Then, she would have probably married Fang Zijie with high expectations a month later...
What a fool she was!
"Xia Zhenzhen, stop!"
Fang Zijie's frantic voice came from behind. His usually gentle face looked gloomy, and he walked briskly towards her. Xia Zhenzhen felt a bit panicked and her steps quickened...
Right now, she did not want to say even a single word, even a single letter, to the disgusting man behind her!
After all, Fang Zijie was a man, and she was in high heels, so he caught up with her after a few steps. He grabbed her arm, his eyes cold and indifferent, "Xia Zhenzhen, you better pretend you didn't see what happened just now!" There was nothing but threat in his eyes.
Xia Zhenzhen twitched her mouth, a mocking smile on her face, "Didn't see what? Didn't see you and a man..."
"Slap!"
Xia Zhenzhen was interrupted mid-sentence by a slap on her face from Fang Zijie.
His gaze was cruel and vicious, completely different from the gentle man he usually was, "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. Or else, I fear that you can't bear the consequences."
After saying that, he looked at Xia Zhenzhen as if he had figured out something, saying, "You're jealous, aren't you? Don't worry, from now on, I'll make sure to share my love equally. We can all have fun together."
"Want to play together?"
She looked at Fang Zijie with disgust. “Pah!” Fang Zijie grabbed her shirt forcefully, causing the crudely-made blouse’s top two buttons to pop off instantly! His eyes darken as he prepared to hoist Xia Zhenzhen up and leave–
Xia Zhenzhen struggled free from his arm, kicked off her high heels, and tossed them at Fang Zijie, then slipped into the iron-barred backyard behind her.
Looking at the yard, Fang Zijie hesitated. This yard... seems to be owned by a Yu family. This is a place one should not trespass in Anyang without permission.
Xia Zhenzhen, however, had no time to pick and choose her escape route. The yard was spacious, and spotting the gate ajar, she rushed in without second thought. She dreaded to think what would happen if Fang Zijie caught up with her.
The living room was even larger, but also equally empty.
She headed straight for the second floor, picked a random door, and rushed in—
“Bang!”
It felt like she hit a wall, and was thrown back on impact. Instinctively, she reached out to grab something for support, and her hand landed on that 'wall'.
“Thump!”
She crashed heavily onto the floor.
In Xia Zhenzhen's dizziness, she focused her eyes… on a magnified handsome face in front of her. The tightly-drawn lips signaled the owner's mood was not good, and the long, aggressive eyes were fixed on her.
Yu Chen's gaze was deep. Even though her face was a bit awkward, it couldn't hide her delicate features, pure temperament, and eyebrows full of charm and flamboyance.
Drip.
Water fell from the man's head onto her face and Xia Zhenzhen came to her senses, releasing the man she had grabbed in her fright. "I, I, I'm very sorry," she said, her eyes flustered.
Yu Chen looked at her with dangerous eyes, shock apparent in them.
He surprisingly did not dislike this woman's touch, and even... had some other thoughts.
Seeing the man not reacting, Xia Zhenzhen attempted to move, then continued speaking: "I'm sorry, can you get up please?" This man was truly heavy! His weight was suffocating her.
A corner of Yu Chen's lips curled up, a hint of sarcasm hidden deep in his eyes. His hot breath dusted Xia Zhenzhen's face and his deep voice followed suit, “And here I thought you were enjoying our current position.”
