 Chapter 1 Please sleep with a man

    Chapter 1 Please sleep with a man


    I never thought my husband, Jerry, would get down on his knees in front of me and beg me to sleep


    with another man for a night.


    It was my birthday and Jerry came home early.


    I went up to take his jacket, but Jerry suddenly took my hand and said, "Nance, will you do me a


    favor?"


    I froze, smiled faintly, and said, "I''m afraid I can''t help you. I have be incapable of staying at home


    these past few years.


    "No, you can, only you can." Jerry said quickly, "Mypany is in trouble. You have to help me."


    I looked at him, puzzled, "What do you want me to help you with?"


    "Please sleep with a man for one night. Just one night." Jerry''s words shocked me.


    I didn''t expect him to say something like that.


    "Why would I agree to do that?" I pulled my hand out of his, turned my back on him, and questioned


    him coldly, "Jerry, I''m your wife, how could you let me do this?"


    "You also know I have sexual dysfunction. We haven''t had sex since we got married. But you have to


    understand me. Thepany is the only property of the Lu family. I can''t let it go bankrupt." Jerry took


    my hand and dropped to his knees again.


    I turned to look at him incredulously and pped him hard. He dropped to his knees without pride.


    When I saw the tears in his eyes, my heart, which had been so determined, softened.


    I had been married to him for three years, but we had never had sex. In these three years, he had been


    very good to me and to my family.


    When I saw him abandon his dignity and kneel in front of me, my heart ached, so I finally nodded


    reluctantly.


    It was pathetic that on my birthday Jerry let me sleep with another man as if I were a gift.


    Jerry happily stood up and put the hotel room card on my hand. I looked at the groom card in silence,


    squeezing it hard in my hand.

    "Thank you for helping me this time." said Jerry.


    I faintly wipe away my tears then push him away. Only Jerry, the idiot, would let his wife sleep with


    someone else.


    Then he drove me to the hotel. When I got out of the car, I checked my phone and found it was now


    10:30 pm.


    "Don''t let me down." said he.


    I was silent and didn¡¯t look at him.


    Then he drove away. I watched his car intively, feeling sad for a long time.


    I was on my heels, wearing a long purple dress with the amethyst ne on my neck. It made me


    look even more attractive, but I wasn''t happy at all.


    "Do I really have to sleep with a strange man? Maybe I will lose my dignitypletely." I hesitated.


    As the elevator doors opened, I looked at the yellowish light, but I never wanted to walk out of the


    elevator.


    I finally convinced myself to be with that man for Jerry. He hadn''t done his duty as a husband all these


    years, but he''d been good to my family. I couldn''t stand by and watch hispany go bankrupt and not


    help him.


    I found the room and opened the door. It was dark and I was going to turn on the light as soon as I


    entered.


    "Don''t turn on the lights." A voice rang out. I froze and the door closed automatically. The room was


    dark. I couldn''t see the man¡¯s face in the darkness.


    "Who are you?" I asked fearfully.


    "Keep silent, and stand where you are." That voice sounded again. The room was extremely hot and


    stuffy from theck of air conditioning.


    Suddenly, my hand was pulled into the arms of a man. I panicked and tried to push him away, but he


    held me very tightly. He forced me into a corner, and then his hand stroked down my cheek to my


    corbone.


    "Please don''t touch me." I shuddered and said.


    "You didn''t know what to do before you came here." The man whispered in my ear in the darkness.


    I closed my eyes in silence, humiliated. Tears streamed down my cheeks. Before I could react, his cold


    lips kissed my lips quickly.


    ¡°You can still leave here if you regret it now." his kiss stopped at my ear and whispered.


    I shook my head and said with a choke in my voice, "I can''t leave."


    "That¡¯s good." he said immediately. Then he pulled my dress off gently.


    His hands touched my breasts tenderly, his hot lips kissing my neck. Suddenly, he lifted me across his


    arms. I shrieked and clung to him unconsciously.


    I''d never experienced anything like this before, so I was a little panicked. He ced me on the bed and


    then his hot body was on top of me.


    Suddenly, my legs were spread apart, then something hot went against my lower part of the body, and I


    subconsciously held him tight.


    Then he put his¡­. into my vagina.

    Chapter 2 You''re interested in me?


    It was daylight when I woke up. I felt enervated. Then I got out of the bed, and I found the man had


    already left.


    I could have refused him, but I didn¡¯t. I tried my best to please himst night. Now I felt ashamed.


    I realized that Jerry owed me three years of sex. As a woman, I need that kind of love between man


    and woman.


    Last night''s sex with that man was actually a release of my desire for love. I realized that I also had


    such wild andscivious behavior.


    How pathetic I was. I got my sexual satisfaction from a strange man.


    As I picked up the clothes from the floor, my legs went numb suddenly and I fell onto the carpet. At this


    moment I had the urge to cry.


    Jerry called to tell me that I had done well yesterday. He said that the Weisi Group had invested in his


    company and hispany¡¯s crisis was over.


    On the phone, he was so happy and talked about the future of hispany, but he didn''t say a word


    aboutst night, and he didn''t ask me how I felt.


    After I hung up the phone, I cried. I angrily tore at the long purple dress. I bit my lips hard until the blood


    ran in my mouth. Then I slowly walked into the bathroom, climbed into the tub, and took a shower bath.


    After I walked out of the bathroom, I noticed a piece of paper on the bed.


    I picked it up and looked at it. There was a phone number written on it.


    I guessed that I made the guy so happyst night that he wanted me to keep his number. He may think


    that he can ask me for another one-night stand next time.


    I was so angry and I just tore the piece of paper to shreds.


    When I got home, I was in the bathroom showering over and over again. I tried to wash away


    everything that had happened to mest night, but I realized I couldn''t wash it away at all. The hickeys


    of that man were on my body, and the special smell of his body was so clear in my mind.


    Jerry still came homete that day. He still went to Yn Club as usual and came back drunk.


    He went back to my room to find me, then came to the balcony, hugged me from behind. Then he put


    his face on mine and said, "Honey, I''m back."


    I stood on the balcony quietly, not wanting to say a word.


    "What''s wrong?" He whispered.


    He put his hand on my waist for the first time and then his hand kept touching me until my chest. When


    he wanted to kiss me, I stopped him. I red at him and asked sarcastically, ¡°After I had a one-night


    stand with others, you¡¯re interested in me?"


    Jerry pulled his hands back.


    "You sure did wellst night. You endured three years without sex. I bet you enjoyedst night''s one-


    night stand, didn''t you?" he said. C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    I raised my hand and tried to p him, but he squeezed my wrist, "Nance, since you help mypany,


    I don''t care you sleep with other men. Even if I¡¯m not interested in your body, I don''t want other men to


    have sex with you."


    "You bastard, why did you make me do this?" I yelled at him madly, "Jerry, how long are you going to


    torture me like this? Are you going to wait until I''m dead before you divorce me?"


    Over the past three years, we''d been sleeping in separate beds, and he had been sleeping in the guest


    room. I had repeatedly offered to divorce him, but each time he refused my request.


    "I''m not divorcing you. My family needs a daughter-inw. You wait a few more years.¡± Jerry said


    coldly. ¡°Our marriage will end, but not now."


    His words were like a sharp de that pierced my heart.


    Then he turned around and walked out of my room. I watched it all coldly, pulling my hair and


    screaming hysterically.

 Chapter 3 The conflict between us

    Chapter 3 The conflict between us


    Ever since that night, I thought of that man sometimes. "Why did he make love to me with the lights off?


    Is it because he''s ugly?"


    I flushed at my foolish wayward thoughts. I knew I was too bored. After three years of marriage, I was


    good at nothing, except for the idle dreaming.


    After the maid cleaned the vi, she came over to say goodbye to me whenever she was about to


    leave.


    "Mrs. Lu, I''ve already prepared the meal. I''ll leave if there''s nothing else." She said goodbye to me like


    this every time, and I only nodded and continued to stand on the balcony, looking at the beautiful


    scenery in front of me.


    Probably I was distracted. Only when my mother-inw stood behind me for a long time did I knew she


    was there.


    I turned and looked at her, and then with a smile on my face, saying, "Mom, why do youe here


    today?"


    Yu Liu had always been arrogant. She was always mocking my background. She said I was a model


    and came from a bad background.


    ¡°Nance, Jerry is working hard every day, but you do nothing at home. Don¡¯t you feel shame to enjoy all


    this?" Yu Liu taunted me every time she came over and every time I stood silently in the corner and


    epted her sarcasm.


    "I want to work, but Jerry won''t let me go out." I retorted.


    "Are you going to do your old job? Take off your clothes in front of everyone and show your body to


    them? If you don''t feel shame, my family will feel shame for you." Yu despised my previous profession


    again.


    I was angry and silently lowered my head. I knew my retort would have no use.


    "Look at you, you''re silent again. You always act like you''re being bullied by me." Yu was angrier when I


    was silent. Maybe she thought that I ignored her by not speaking. In fact, I really didn''t want to talk to


    her. In her eyes, I was just useless anyway.


    Yu used her index finger to poke my forehead and scolded, ¡°My family doesn''t owe your family, but


    your family¡¯s members are like debt collectors."


    "Mom, please don''t scold my family." I held back my anger and said.


    "Your family has been using my family''s money. The money your brother spent on buying a house and


    his marriage also came from my family. Why can''t I say that?" Yu shouted.


    Another reason I agreed to save Jerry''spany was that I wanted to pay back the money my family


    owe to Lu family.


    Then suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up and looked at it. The caller was Vince Yi.


    I didn''t know this phone number, but I felt like I had heard this name somewhere. I hesitated for a few


    seconds, and just as I was about to answer it, Yu snatched it away. She look at me, and then smirked.


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    She answered the phone and also pressed the speaker.


    "Where are you?" the man asked.


    My mother-inw replied, "At home."


    "Wait for me at the usual ce." He returned.''


    What old ce? I didn''t even know what he was talking about. Suddenly I remembered that night. Was


    he the man that had been there that night?


    He must have had his cell phone number in my phone while I was asleep. The man was smart. It was


    as if he knew I would definitely tear up the piece of paper with the phone number on it.


    I saw my mother-inw re at me hatefully. She threw the phone at me, hitting me in the chest.


    "How dare you have an affair now?" She growled.

 Chapter 4 Jerry s woman

    Chapter 4 Jerry'' s woman


    ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± I hurriedly exined, but my mother-inw didn¡¯t even listen to me. She came up to p me


    and all the grievances of the past three years came to me, tears falling down.


    I didn¡¯t know why Vince Yi wanted to ask me out, but I¡¯ve thought about it that even if that man could


    give me warmth, so what? I was still Jerry Lu¡¯ s wife, and I couldn¡¯t escape from Lu family for the rest of


    my life.


    ¡°Nance Mo, I¡¯ m telling you, there are plenty of women who want to marry into Lu family and if you don¡¯t


    behave yourself and cuckold Jerry, I¡¯ll skin you.¡± Yu Liu stared at me and her words were like a heating


    iron.


    The sudden appearance of Jerry stopped his mother from torturing me further. He pushed Yu Liu away


    and scolded, ¡°Mom, why did you p Nance?¡±


    ¡°Do you realize she has cuckolded you?¡± She had already concluded that I was having an affair with


    just a few words. Yes, thanks for his arrangement, he begged me to sleep with another man for the


    sake of hispany.


    Jerry didn¡¯t exin anything. He went forward to pick me up, but I didn¡¯t appreciate him, so I pushed


    him away. If he was not a wimp, why would I stay in Lu family to suffer this inhumane treatment.


    When Yu Liu saw me pushing Jerry away, she went forward, wanting to p me again, but she was


    stopped by Jerry, who yelled at his mother, ¡°Enough, Mom. Please go back and don¡¯t upset me


    anymore.¡±


    She stepped forward in distress and took Jerry¡¯s hand, ¡°Son, mom is for your own good.¡±


    ¡°Leave my house right away if it¡¯s for my good.¡± Jerry¡¯ s eyes were weakly downcast, but his voice was


    firm.


    Yu Liu red at me, wanting to killed me.


    My mother-inw left my house and I sat weakly on the carpet as Jerry bent down to crouch beside


    me, asking softly, ¡°Is everything okay?¡±


    ¡°What if I say I¡¯m not OK?¡± I looked at Jerry with disappoint, ¡°What do you want from me?¡±


    Jerry had nothing to say but hug me and kept apologizing. I didn¡¯t know why he could apologize so


    easily.


    This day, I didn¡¯t go to the usual ce that Vince told me to go and my rtionship with him ended


    after that night, for I couldn¡¯t betray myself again and again.


    I never thought Jerry would betray me, because he told me his dick had some problems.


    So, I always thought he wouldn¡¯t touch me and also another woman.


    But I was wrong. My marriage to Jerry turned out to be a huge conspiracy.


    Jerry¡¯s lovere to me, who had already been pregnant for 8 months. When she came to the door, I


    was confused, thinking she entered the wrong door, but the woman said she wasing to see me.


    She sat quietly on the couch, whose face was small and chin was fleshy, with her head down. I offered


    her a ss of water and ced it on the table in front of her.


    ¡°Drink some water.¡± I said softly, but my eyes were fixed on her, and I wondered why she was looking


    for me.


    The woman shook her head, ¡°I¡¯m not thirsty.¡±


    ¡°Oh, well.¡± I was more puzzled, ¡°May I know your name and what brings you here?¡±


    ¡°My surname is Lian, my name is Duo.¡± Her voice was very soft and she was the kind of good girl. She


    lifted her head slightly, and after eyes to eyes, she smiled, ¡°Sister, I¡¯m pregnant with Jerry¡¯ s child.¡±


    I was shocked to the extreme, then said with a smile, ¡°Impossible. Jerry has some disease. It¡¯s


    impossible for him to¡­¡±


    ¡°Really?¡± Duo Lian stared at me, not letting me escape, ¡°I¡¯ve been with Jerry for two years and he¡¯s


    quite normal. Hees over every night to apany me.¡±


    ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± I red at her. This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.

 Chapter 5 The Stupidest Woman

    Chapter 5 The Stupidest Woman


    ¡°Nance Mo, you may not know this. The marriage between Jerry Lu and you is just a bet." Duo Lian


    said to me calmly, "Three years ago, you repulsed a rich man¡¯s advances, do you remember?"


    Once reminded by Duo, I seemed to remember something. At that time, as a beautiful model, I was


    surrounded by many admirers who wanted to be with me, but I used to be very picky about men and


    did reject some of them.


    "One of the men you rejected was Jerry¡¯s business partner. He made a bet with Jerry that if Jerry could


    win your heart and maintain the sexless marriage for five years, then he would give his entire fortune to


    Jerry." Duo exined, staring at me with her glittering eyes.


    I was dumbfounded by the truth Duo just told me.


    Five years? Sexless marriage? I had wasted five years of my most precious youth. Jerry had lied me


    that he had a secret disease and was unable to have sex. It turned out that it was all for the bet. It was


    so cruel of him to shield me from the truth.


    I was a young, beautiful woman with perfect body. I was such an absolute stunner. But Jerry had


    resisted my temptations for three years. I bit my lips and forced a smile, it seemed that in his eyes, I


    was just an unattractive woman, or money was much more important than me.


    And the person who made the bet with him must have a very substantial fortune, otherwise how could


    Jerry ignore my charm for so long.


    "Did Jerry Lu tell you this himself?" What she told me sent a chill to my heart, I raised my eyebrows and


    asked.


    Duo nodded, "Yes, he also told me that as a model, you must have slept with a lot of different men,


    you''re a dirty woman. And if it wasn''t for that bet, for all that substantial fortune, he wouldn''t want to


    have anything to do with you."


    Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Dirty? I showed a wry smile. He¡¯s right, model was a dirty job in many people¡¯s eyes.


    Three years! Well, it was hard for him to tolerate being with a dirty woman like me. I felt a heartache. I


    had convinced myself to ept tonic love, but I didn''t realize I was fooled to be the stupidest


    woman in the world.


    I had even sold my body for Jerry''spany.


    I bit my lips in hatred to stop my tears falling down in front of Duo, "You should leave now, you should


    wait ande back here when Jerry and I get divorced two yearster."


    "Nance Mo, I''ve said it all, why don''t you understand! The baby in my belly can''t wait, otherwise I


    wouldn''t have said so much to you. To tell you the truth, I''ve moved to the Lu family to live with Jerry¡¯s


    mother, my future mother-inw." It turned out she came over to assert her sovereignty.


    I took a nce at her belly and couldn¡¯t help being envious of her. When I was with Jerry, I had also


    fantasized that I would be able to conceive an adorable child one day, but now I could feel nothing but


    irony.


    "You should leave!" I looked at Duo, poker-faced. She stood up in anger and disbelief, probably not


    expecting that I could be so calm.


    "You, you... Nance Mo, are you losing your mind? How can you tolerate being used and humiliated like


    this?"


    "Get out!" I yelled at her. She was taken aback and left resentfully.


    After she left, I cried out, smashing all the sses on the coffee table like crazy. I paced back and forth


    nervously in the hall and then went to the balcony, there was a moment I wanted to jump off the


    building and end my miserable life.


    But I dropped the idea. How could I end my life so easily? That could only make Jerry and Duo get


    what they wanted.


    I took two steps backwards and returned to my room, trembling. I picked up my cell phone, which I had


    thrown on the bed, found Vince Yi¡¯s phone number, and called him.


    Vince answered the phone immediately.


    I trembled, holding the phone. My voice also trembled slightly, "You still want me?"


    "What happened?" Vince asked in a low and sexy voice. I felt aggrieved and burst into tears suddenly.


    "Do you want me? Yes or no." Not knowing where my courage came from, I questioned at Vince loudly.


    "Yes, I do." Hearing his answer, my body tensed up. What was I doing? Taking revenge?


    "I''ll meet you at the usual ce." I said and hung up the phone, staring into space.


    Revenge, yes, I was going to get back at Jerry. Since he had given me to someone else once, then he


    could do it again. He was right, I was also enjoying that night, because being loved and cherished by


    man was a very satisfying and enjoyable thing.

 Chapter 6 Ambivalence

    Chapter 6 Ambivalence


    I didn''t know what I was thinking. After making the call, I was once again lost in thought.


    Why would I call Vince Yi when I was lonely and helpless? He was just a stranger who had intimate


    moments with me in a darkened room without seeing each other¡¯s face. Why was he the first one that


    came to my mind?


    Actually I knew the simple reason: he was the first man who had shared a meaningful form of physical


    rtionship with me. At the same time, I was curious about what he looked like.


    As night fell, I put on an exquisite make-up and picked a slim-fitting dress. I was nervous, regretting


    making that phone call. But when I checked the time, it was alreadyte and Jerry hadn''te back


    yet. I realized he was probably with Duo Lian again. I made up my mind, so I left the house and took a


    taxi.


    I soon arrived at the Emperor Hotel. I went to the reception and wanted to book the same roomst


    time, but was informed that the room had been booked already.


    Hearing this, I felt so relieved. Since the old ce had been reserved by someone else, then my


    appointment with Vince should also be canceled. I was able to find an excuse not to go up there.


    I pulled my phone out of my bag, found the number of Vince and dialed it, he picked up the phone as


    soon as I called.


    "Come upstairs!" I was shocked by his simple words.


    It turned out that he''d already booked that room and was waiting for me to go up, but how could he


    know I wasing? Was it guesswork? If it was, he must be a marvelous soothsayer.


    Urged by him, I was in a passive position. My legs were as heavy as lead. I couldn¡¯t move, staring at


    the elevator not far away, it was already on the first floor.


    "Hello, are you Miss Mo?" A waitress behind me asked, smiling sweetly and politely.


    I looked at her in puzzlement and nodded my head.


    The waitress handed me a room card and asked me to take it.


    I was confused for a moment. Looking at the room card which had the familiar room number written on


    it, I immediately realized what was this for.


    "Thank you." I said to the waitress, slowly walking to the elevator.


    My mind was filled with Jerry''s betrayal and Duo''s provocations. Instantly I was aware that I was just a


    dirty woman in Jerry''s eyes as I had sold my body for him that night.


    Five years, well, it''s been three years already. I could almost see the end of my miserable life.


    I put my hand on my chest which was pounding fiercely because of my beating heart, staring at the


    rising numbers restlessly. "Ding!" The elevator door opened, unlikest time, I walked out of the


    elevator without hesitation. I went to the old ce and opened the door, the room was dark. I could tell


    that Vince preferred the dark to the light.


    I stood still as I didst time, not putting the card into the main switch, as if time had frozen.


    "Turn on the lights!" He said in a husky voice, the only difference fromst time was that he''d let me


    turn on the lights today.


    "Okay." I answered dully and inserted the card, and the room instantly lit up while my eyes fell on the


    face of the handsome man directly in front of me. Vince was expressionless, sitting on the couch and


    staring at me with his brooding eyes.


    He lookedpletely different with what I thought he would be. I thought he might be ugly, maybe


    looked average at best, but I didn''t expect that he was so gorgeous.


    Gorgeous, I couldn''t believe I was describing him with this word. I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off his face,


    and while I was gazing at his thin lips, he stood up and walked towards me.


    I was dumbfounded and stepped back instinctively. The friction of my high heels against the carpet


    made me lean back and I was about to fall down, but Vince instantly moved forward, he reached out


    his big and strong hands to my waist so that I wouldn''t fall down.


    An intimate atmosphere was surrounding us because of this awkward position.


    Vince stared down at me, raising his eyebrows and smiling, "How long are we gonna stay in this


    position?" Saying this, he bent his head, as if he was going to kiss me.


    I could feel my face reddening and heating.C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.

 Chapter 7 I dont like to be used by women

    Chapter 7 I don''t like to be used by women


    Vince Yi lowered his head and looked at me. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "How long are you


    going to keep this posture?"


    His tease made me blush in an instant. When I stretched out my hand to push him away, I also stood


    up and walked behind him in a daze, keeping a certain distance from him.


    Vince turned around, took a look at me and asked, "You asked me out just to be silent?"


    When I looked back, my eyes fell into his deep eyes again. I shook my head, "No.¡± I exined in a


    hurry. When I saw his real face, I was in a dilemma.


    He had a strong aura with the coldness of a domineering man, a tall figure, and a handsome face. I


    swallowed nervously and lowered my eyes. "I..."


    I really want to tell him that I asked him out just because I was betrayed by Jerry Lu, and wanted to


    take revenge on him.


    But I swallowed the words on the tip of my tongue.


    At this moment, I just wanted to escape from this room. In Vince''s eyes, I should be a very ordinary


    woman who was not outstanding.


    I had never been so unconfident in front of a man. Generally speaking, as a model, I should be


    confident in front of the camera and people. But now it was different. Three years had worn my


    arrogance and self-confidence away.


    I hated Jerry for torturing me to such an extent of inferiority.


    "Why don''t you say anything?" Vince¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. His voice was always warm. I lowered


    my head quietly and my cheeks were slightly hot.


    "You asked me whether I wanted you or not passionately on the phone, but now you are dumb?" He


    stepped forward, reached out his big hand and pinched my chin. Then he looked at my eyes.


    "I called the wrong number." I found a very bad excuse. As soon as I finished my words, a weird smile


    appeared on Vince''s face.


    "No." He stopped smiling, reached out his big hand and wrapped it around my thin waist. Then he held


    me in his arms. His arms were very wide, which gave me a sense of security and warmth.


    I put my hands on his strong chest and looked up at him in fear. I was not short, butpared with


    him, I had be petite and exquisite.


    He lowered his head and wanted to kiss me, but I was so scared that I turned my head away to avoid


    his kiss. In a panic, I exined, "I came here just because my husband betrayed me, so I want to take


    revenge. Yes, I feel unfair. I want to take revenge. "


    I told the truth. I trembled all over my body and looked at his changed eyes. He loosened his hand,


    without any smile on his face, but his gloomy eyes made people tremble with fear. I knew I had made a


    mistake.


    I stood still, with my hands hanging uneasily. "Mr. Yi, I know you invested in my husband. That night..." I


    paused. I couldn''t go on talking as long as I thought of that night.


    "I don''t like to be used by women." His voice was a gloomy, and it was hard to tell whether he was


    angry or not.


    "I know.I don''t like to be used, either."


    As soon as his finished his words, I really wanted to p myself. I don''t like to be used. Why should I


    listen to Jerry and getid with someone that night.


    Did I really love Jerry?I asked myself, but I didn''t know the answer. Before Duo Lian came to my house,


    I seemed to have been used to the existence of Jerry. It seemed to be my expectation to wait for him to


    go home every day.


    I just wanted to be a good wife and a good mother, and gave birth to children for him. But he let me


    alone in the house just for a bet.


    I thought it would be the greatest kindness for me if I was fed and dressed.


    When I was lost in thought, he suddenly stepped forward, only a few feet away from me. He lowered


    his head and whispered in my ear. The hot breath in his nose gently brushed in my ear. My whole body


    trembled and was weak at the knees.


    This time, I forgive you this time." What Vince said confused me. I didn''t understand what he meant at


    all. He lifted me up and I wrapped my arms around his neck subconsciously, looking at him with fear.


    What did he want? Me?


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    I was here to achieve my purpose, but why was I so nervous and scared?


    When I saw the true face of Vince, I felt ufortable and thought that I shouldn''t have anything to do


    with such an arrogant man.

 Chapter 8 Divorce

    Chapter 8 Divorce


    Vince Yi gently put me on the soft bed. I nervously supported his chest with my arms and stared at his


    face. At this moment, his deep eyes were also staring at me.


    My face flushed and my mind went nk. But I knew one thing. I married to Jerry Lu. If I had sex with


    Vince now, then I was just a beast and betrayed our marriage like him?


    Last time, he begged me to do that, but this time, I took the initiative. It was totally different.


    I struggled on the bed in a hurry, looked into Vince''s eyes and exined nervously, "II haven''t divorced


    yet. I can''t betray Jerry." As soon as I finished speaking, I tried hard to move away from his body.


    Vince¡¯s eyes darkened and he put his hands the sides of my head. There was more space between me


    and him. When I saw this, I got out of his armpit and sat directly on the carpet.


    He turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at me with a faint smile. I didn''t understand


    what he meant by that smile, but his smile made my heart beat wildly.


    I stood up from the carpet, gently patted the dust on my body, took two steps back, lowered my head,


    and said weakly, "he can do something to betray me, but I can''t be like him before divorce."


    "What do you want?" Vince looked at me and asked indifferently.


    "Divorce." After I answered seriously, I looked up and met his eyes again. I felt a little shameless.


    "You stay here tonight." Vince stood up from the bedside. When he approached me, I was so nervous.


    But he didn''t touch me. He just walked past me and reminded me, "If you want to divorce, you have to


    create contradictions."


    I didn''t understand. I turned to him and looked at him. What does it mean to create contradictions?


    Quarreling with Jerry, or his family? I had experienced all these, but how could he let me go so easily.


    The bet made by Jerry was a conspiracy.


    I really didn''t figure it out who framed up me like this?


    "I don''t understand what you mean?" I looked at Vince in confusion.


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "If you stay here, you can tell me that you have slept with me again. Let''s see how Jerry treats


    you."Vince smiled weirdly again.


    As soon as he finished his words, he left directly. But I actually listened to him. That night, I stayed in


    the hotel, turned off my phone and slept until dawn.


    The next day, the sunlight woke me up. I pulled away the covers and got out of bed. I opened the


    window, and took a breath of fresh air, looking down at the panoramic view of F city.


    I picked up her phone on the bedside table. I turned it on and found there were WeChat and text


    messages and all the call reminders were from Jerry. At three o''clock in the morning, he bombarded


    me with questions about where I was.


    I was a little happy after my revenge. I suddenly felt that Vince was a little unfathomable. He seemed to


    be very good at controlling people''s mind.


    After I freshened up in the bathroom, I checked out and went back to Jerry and my home.


    As soon as I entered, for the first time, Jerry, who was supposed to go to thepany, sat in the hall.


    He seemed to be waiting for me to go back.


    As soon as I entered the room, I asked as usual, "why haven''t you gone to thepany yet?"


    "I''m waiting for you."Jerry looked at me expressionlessly, "where did you gost night?"


    "Where will I go? Will you care about me?" I smiled sarcastically. "I have been waiting for you at


    home every day for three years. Are you used to it? I haven''te back for only one night. Are you


    going to me me?"


    "Nance, a woman should know what is self-love, so that a man will love her, understand?" Jerry stood


    up and said ruthlessly.


    "I don''t understand."I roared and lost control of my emotions. "I don''t understand why you use the word


    ''self-love''. Yes, I don¡¯t know what is self-love, so I foolishly listened to you and went to sleep with Vince.


    So you love yourself and you even have a baby with Duo Lian!¡±


    "Duo Lian is different from you." Jerry¡¯s words broke me down.


    With a smile to myself, I squinted at the man who had been with me for three years and said, "you are


    right. She is indeed different from me. She is smarter than me. She is not as stupid as I am. I trust a


    scum for three years."


    "Don''t change the topic. Where did you gost night?" Jerry snapped. Blue veins stood out on his neck


    and his eyes were fierce.


    "Getid." After I answered with despair, looking at his sudden change of face, I sneered and said,


    "what''s wrong? Haven''t you sent me once? Do you still care about the second or the third time?"


    p! Jerry pped hard on my face. It was painful. I felt my face was pped askew. His p


    shattered all my hopes.


    I covered my face angrily and stared at him. "You¡¯re not a man!"


    "You are my wife. It¡¯s my right." It''s the first time that Jerry had been rude to me in the past three years.


    I didn''t expect that. I thought I would live a peaceful life for the rest of my life.


    "Jerry, I finally figured out who you are." I gritted my teeth and wanted to tear him into pieces. "Who


    made the bet with you? Tell me, I¡¯ll ask that person to let me go. I¡¯ll kneel in front of him and let him tell


    me how I offended him at that time, so he punishes me like this?"

 Chapter 9 Hunger Strike

    Chapter 9 Hunger Strike


    "Nance Mo! How could you be this nasty! You make me sick!" Ignoring my question, Jerry Lu cursed at


    me and yelled. Then he came forward and yanked my hand, dragging me into the room.


    I struggled in panic, screaming. Finally, I bit down hard on the back of Jerry¡¯s hand. I felt like I was


    being driven crazy by him these days.


    Jerry let go of his hand in pain and red at me, cursing, "Bitch, how dare you bite me!"


    Tears of anguish filled my eyes. Who made me like this? Was it me myself who had forced me to be


    this crazy? Of course not, Jerry''s ugly face was getting bigger and bigger in my eyes, which was


    horrible to see.


    "Jerry, let¡¯s just get a divorce. You asked me to sleep with Vince Yi to save yourpany, I have done


    it as you wish. Yourpany has already passed through the crisis. I¡¯m begging you, let me go. You


    can live a happy life with Duo Lian! Let¡¯s stop torturing each other!" I wept, tears streaming down my


    face. I didn''t want to cry about my three years of wasted youth. Someone wanted to destroy me, I had


    nowhere to hide.


    "No way." Jerry rebuffed, "Nance, you¡¯d better stay at home and listen to me. If you dare to go out at


    night again, don¡¯t me me for not warning you." After saying this, he shut the door heavily and left. I


    flung myself on the bed, burying my head under the covers and bursting into tears.


    I was ready for a life-and-death struggle against him, but Jerry didn''t vite me. I understood that in his


    heart he felt I was a dirty woman, hence he definitely wouldn''t touch me. After all, he had put up with


    me for the past three years.


    Jerry had a fetish about cleanliness. I was sure someone had fabricated a rumor that I was not a virgin


    when I married to Jerry. That¡¯s why Jerry didn¡¯t want to touch me these years. But in order to win that


    bet, he treated my family and me very nice.


    Now that I had known the truth, I felt every moment I stayed with him was torment for me. I hadn''t


    worked for three years, which meant I was just a loser who had aplished nothing now.


    I was aware that if I chose to leave Jerry, I would have to step into the society which was a brand new


    world to me now. As to whether I would continue to work as a model, I had lost my confidence, to be


    honest.


    After crying for a long time, I slowly sat up, looking around the room in sadness and solitude. It was a


    room thatpletely belonged to me, the original design of the decoration was done by me. However,


    it had became a beautiful cage, locking me tightly in this miserable marriage.


    I didn''t eat anything, sitting quietly on my bed all day and night. Iid down when I was tired. I chose


    the most extreme way to confront Jerry; I went on a hunger strike.


    Juerry came backte at night, didn''t notice anything unusual about me. Seeing me stay in bed, he


    went to his guest room to sleep without saying a word. The next morning, he left again. But in the


    afternoon he returned and kicked my door open, went in, and pulled me out of bed. I was so hungry


    that I had no strength to resist.


    "You want to die, don''t you?" Jerry yelled at my ear viciously.


    My body was limp. I stared at him nkly and forced a wry smile, "If I die, you are not going to win that


    man¡¯s fortune, right?"


    "You wanna threaten me with death?" Jerry gazed at me in shock and picked me up. I was dizzy and


    weak, patting him and asking him to put me down.


    Jerry took me in his arms and put me right down to the chair around the table. It turned out that the


    hourly worker saw that I hadn¡¯t touched the dishes prepared for me, so she called Jerry and reported


    this. He poured all the rice and dishes into one bowl, then pushed it in front of me and red at me,


    ordering, "Eat it right now, right in front of me. If you don¡¯t, I''ll stuff it into your mouth with my hands."


    I sneered, "Jerry, you are such a pathetic man."


    Jerry, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly stood up and came forward. He grabbed the rice and


    dishes with his bare hand, trying to shove it into my mouth. But I turned my head, then my face was


    covered with the greasy food.


    I shook my head as hard as I could, the food fell on my body, which put me in an awkward position. I


    tried to got up, but my feet was so weak that I could hardly stand, finally I fell to the ground, looked


    pathetic.


    I took a nce at Jerry, who had grabbed another handful of food and was about toe over again.


    I braced myself and staggered into the kitchen, grabbed a fruit knife from the knife rack. Turning


    around, I swung that long knife and yelled at Jerry, "If you dare to approach me, I''ll kill you!"


    "You¡¯re crazy!" Probably he had seen the despair in my eyes, Jerry threw the food in his hand and got


    scared.


    "Yes, I''m crazy. I¡¯m telling you this, not only am I crazy, I''m going to kill you! Jerry Lu, I''ll keep the knifeContent is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    with me anytime until you agree to divorce. You want to waste my time, let¡¯s see if you can live to see


    the day you win the bet." Rattled by Jerry, I was brandishing the knife like crazy.


    I wanted Jerry to know that I was no longer the stupid woman who was waiting for him toe back


    and take a look at me. A single smile, a single look from him, could make me satisfied and happy the


    whole day.


    Jerry was scared away by the fruit knife in my hand.


    I haven¡¯t eaten anything in over a day, walking out of the kitchen exhaustedly and looking at the food


    on the table, I felt I was so stupid, why would I irritate that scum by hurting myself?


    Taking deep breath to calm myself down, I dropped the knife on the ground. I was unstable and light-


    headed, went to the table, picked up the food, and gobbled it up.


    After this, I took a shower and went back to the room, feeling ufortable. I locked the door, lying on


    my bed.


    The sudden ringing of my phone scared me, and I reached for my bedside table to catch my phone. It


    was him...

 Chapter 10 Lets Make a Deal

    Chapter 10 Let''s Make a Deal


    Why would Vince Yi call? After being suspicious for a few seconds, I pressed the answer button, and


    said "hello" faintly. Then I heard the deep and maic voice again.


    "Why are you weak?" Vince''s ears were so sensitive which made me admired.


    "If you have been hungry for one or two days, let¡¯s see will you have any strength?" I jokingly smiled


    weakly. When I was face to face with Vince, I might not be so rxed. I was able to make joke like this


    on the phone.


    "Are you on a hunger strike?" He was taken aback at the phone.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    "Yes, I went on a hunger strike. I wanted to get freedom by death, but it''s too ufortable to be


    hungry." After I said that exaggeratedly, I evenughed, "I found that I don''t have the willpower to lose


    weight."


    "You don''t need to lose weight." Vince''s indifferent voice echoed in my ears, and I wanted to cry


    inexplicably. I stayed silent for a long time holding the phone.


    After Vince found that I stayed in silence, he asked, "You are not faint because of hunger, are you?"


    I shook my head, knowing that he couldn¡¯t see it, but I still habitually shook it a few times, ¡°I¡¯m not


    dizzy, I¡¯m too hungry for these two days, and I¡¯ve figured it out clearly. My life is my own. I must not


    torture myself. The stupid woman looking forward to her husband''s return has starved to death."


    As soon as I finished the words, I could vaguely hear Vinceughing faintly on the other side of the


    phone.


    Should this unsympathetic man couldugh at the news that I was starving to death.


    "Mr. Yi..." I called him softly and politely, "Can I make a deal with you?"


    "What deal, tell me about it?"


    "Find a way to help me divorce." I don''t know what I was thinking. Why would I choose to believe in


    Vince? Maybe I was tired of such a recurring life and want to be relieved.


    "What will I get?" he asked on the other side of the phone. Businessmen talked about mutual benefit.


    Who would do it without any benefit?


    "If I owe you a favour, I will pay it back. I can''t do anything illegal, but I will do everything else as long


    as you ask me." With the courage I never had before, I said that to a man who I had only met once and


    contacted twice. I didn¡¯t know whether Vince would agree.


    "Will you agree if I want to sleep with you?" When Vince''s words came into to my ears via mobile


    phone, my whole body was stiff for a few seconds, and I was unable to think about the meaning of his


    words.


    Was he obsessed with my body, or did he think that I was beautiful and wanted to hook up with me for


    a while? I can''t guess what Vince thought, but I wanted to divorce Jerry Lu too much.


    His ruthlessness, betrayal, and violence were vivid to me and made me bitterly disappointed. I would


    rather fight an unknown future than living with a conspirator like him.


    "Yes." After I hesitated for a while, I responded him seriously. Vince was also quiet on the phone. I


    didn''t know why I couldn''t hear his voice but still didn''t hang up the phone. Was he kidding just now,


    and now he regretted it?


    "Wait for Jerry to ask you for divorce!" Vince said these words after a long silence. I sat on the bed in a


    daze, looked forward with blurred eyes.


    I didn¡¯t say thank you, because I used myself to make a deal just to leave Jerry. I¡¯m waiting for Vince to


    realize his words. One day, two days, until a weekter, Jerry opened my door vigorously, stepped


    forward, and threw a stack of A4 paper heavily on my face.


    The paper spread out and fell to the ground. I looked down. One of the papers read "Divorce


    Agreement". I bent down and picked them up one by one. When I was picking up a paper at Jerry''s


    feet, he pulled me up violently, and sternly questioned me, "You can''t wait to get divorced, so you let


    Vince to mess up withpany?"


    I didn''t say a word, but stared at Jerry angrily.


    "Nance Mo, in the past three years, I treated you well. I never thought you would be so terrible?" Jerry''s


    wordspletely irritated me. I shook off his hand vigorously and stepped back sneering.


    "I''m terrible?" Iughed at myself, "Do you think you are kind? You said that you have hidden illness. I


    forgive you and was ready for a marriage like to''s. I understood it that we don¡¯t need to have sex


    being husband and wife. But what about you? Your mother treated me worse than she treated a dog. I


    endured it. You hit me. I knew maybe it was because you were too angry. But what I can¡¯t understand is


    your betrayal. You lied to me for three years and let me sleep with someone to save yourpany. If it


    weren''t you, how would I know Vince? After all, you asked for all this?"


    "Do you have conscience? Haven¡¯t I treat your family well these years?" Jerry yelled at me.


    "My conscience was eaten by dogs. What about you? What was your conscience eaten by?"

 Chapter 11 I was divorced

    Chapter 11 I was divorced


    "Fine. I just realize you''re sharp tongued. You shouldn''t be modeling, you should be hosting a talk


    show" Jerry Lu said sarcastically.


    I ignored his sarcasm. I put together two copies of the divorce papers, signed them without hesitation,


    and handed them to Jerry. He took the papers, nced at me, and said coldly, "Why don''t you read it


    carefully before you sign it?"


    "I don''t mind any terms if I can divorce you." I said coldly. He was holding that beautiful pen, and looked


    at me for a long time before he signed the divorce papers.


    I didn''t have children and the house was the Jerry''s, so I didn''t get any of the property. I had expected


    this, so I wasn''t disappointed.


    We went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to finalize the divorce. Then I stopped a taxi, pulled my luggage,


    which was already prepared, and got into the car and left.


    I rented a small apartment through an agent. It was a very simple bachelor pad, which was on the


    twelfth floor. It had a river in front of it and nice greenery. I liked the ce a lot.


    When I moved in, I spent all my savings on furniture and what was left was only enough to cover my


    living expenses for a month.


    The only thing I had to do now was to find a job. I used to do modeling. I might have a little experience


    in facing the camera, but I had no experience with any other job. So I posted my resume online, looking


    for clerical work.


    As for the housework, I rarely did. Now I had no maid to clean and cook for me, which was really hard


    for me to adjust to. I looked at the dusty house and did my best to clean it.


    After the divorce, I didn''t call my family. I was afraid that they would me me for not cherishing my


    previous wealthy life. They only know that the Mo family had received so many favors from the Lu


    family, but they didn''t know the sadness behind the marriage.


    After I finished mopping the floor, my back hurt so much that I couldn''t straighten up and I slumped


    right into my chair. That was when my phone rang. I looked at my phone and it was Vince calling.


    The divorce was all thanks to Vince, but I had forgotten about it.


    I didn''t know how to answer his call. His words "I want you" was clearly in my ears.


    Finally I answered it.


    "Where are you now?" Vince asked.


    "My new home." I replied bluntly.


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "My phone number is my WeChat ID. Add me as a friend right now and send me your location." Vince


    ordered me overbearingly and then just hangs up the phone.


    Then I logged in WeChat. I was hesitant to add him as a WeChat friend. Was Vinceing over? Was


    he trying to get me to pay him back for the favor I owe him? I held the phone for a long time, wondering


    what he was going to do.


    Actually I knew one thing. If Vince wanted to find me, he could find me easily. But if he found me


    instead of me telling him my address, then it seemed that I didn¡¯t keep my word.


    Eventually I sent a friend invitation, and then sent him my location.


    I didn''t expect him to be at my door in half an hour. When there was a knock on the door, I looked at it


    in panic, my body shaking. I gathered the courage to go up to the door. As soon as it was opened,


    Vince looked at me faintly and smiled.


    I smiled awkwardly and whispered, "Pleasee in."


    Vince walked slowly into the house, looking around.


    I closed the door softly, just in case some noise would affect him. I leaned quietly behind the door and


    watched him. Suddenly I thought about the night I''d spent with him at the hotel and my face


    immediately flushed.


    Would Vince like me? He was so perfect. How could he take something like a rtionship seriously?


    I had been married and had been taken advantage of once, why was I still so naive? That night was


    nothing more than a deal.


    I should stop daydreaming. I couldn¡¯t waste my time anymore.


    "What''s on your mind?" Vince suddenly asked me. I shook my head, and asked, "What do you want to


    drink?"


    Then I felt I was so silly. There was nothing to drink at my home but water.


    I immediately said again, "I¡¯ll get you a ss of water."


    With that said, I was about to walk into the kitchen. When I passed Vince, he grabbed my wrist. I


    stopped and looked at him, puzzled.


    "I¡¯m not thirsty." He looked at me. I can''t read what he was thinking.


    "Mr. Yi..." I wanted to ask him why he helped me get a divorce. Was it because of that night, or would it


    be something else?


    "Just call me Vince." he said.


    I hesitated, and I didn¡¯t call his name affectionately. We didn''t know each other so well yet.


    I smiled unnaturally.


    "I want to hear you call me by my name." I looked at Vince in surprise when he suddenly made the


    request. However, I still didn''t call him that.


    ¡°Can I call your name next time?" I made an excuse quickly. And his hand kept tugging at me.


    "You seem to have forgotten something." Vince said. He looked at me faintly.


    I didn''t need him to remind me. I knew exactly what I''d promised him. He''d said he wanted me. At the


    time, I''d promised him that in order to get rid of Jerry as quickly as possible. Now that he reminded me


    of it, I was embarrassed.

 Chapter 12 Lets Review It Once Again

    Chapter 12 Let''s Review It Once Again


    ¡°Wha...what?¡± I smoothed my hair with fingers and tucked it behind ears, eyes moving uneasily. And


    when I looked up, I was yanked by Vince, my whole body falling into his arms.


    With my heart racing, I didn¡¯t struggle and looked at him with a flushed face.


    ¡°Let''s review it once again?¡± Before I understood his words, Vince gave me a quick kiss, pressing his


    thin lips onto mine tightly.


    Having been freed from the bond of marriage, I didn¡¯t have to look at his handsome face under the


    cover of darkness. I was shocked by his smooth skin from which I failed to find any pore even in such a


    short distance.


    His kiss was tender and nice with which I indulged myself. His warm breath fanned over my face.


    Seeing that I had no intention of refusal, he pushed my tongue inside to twist with mine, sliding his


    hands around my waist to pull me close, holding me tightly, his breath getting heavy and noisy.


    Maybe I really had suffered too much empty and loneliness during the past three years, I couldn¡¯t help


    but embrace him and wee him at this moment. Suddenly, he stopped, looked down at my slightly


    unfocused eyes, then asked, ¡°Do you want me?¡±


    I lowered my gaze when he questioned me. I was too embarrassed to answer such a question.


    Bending down, he scooped me in his arms and carried me into the bedroom. In a sudden panic, I


    looped my arms tightly around his neck.


    I didn¡¯t know how many times I wanted him in the new room that day. I was freed and I seemed to be


    obsessed with this kind of life. Going to bed with Vince was so great and I really liked the scent of


    Vince.


    He came almost every night and left early in the morning. Even if he failed toe sometimes, he


    would phone me. I also tried to look for a job after he left. I came to severalpanies but no one was


    what I wanted.


    As a model, I could clearly feel interviewers¡¯ prejudice from their eyes. I knew they just wanted me to


    be an eye-candy who sat at the front desk, made tea and coffee for them, and flirted me when they had


    free time.


    I didn¡¯t want to work in apany like that. I was always an ambitious and arrogant woman even I


    once married Jerry and it¡¯s hard to change my character.


    I really had no idea what kind of job I wanted but I really didn¡¯t want to rely on Vince. It would make me


    feel that I just liked a bird caged from one birdcage to another. This kind of captive life would make men


    bored while making women numb and eventually caused a miserable life.


    A new day, I waked up very early. I looked sideways at Vince. He was still sleeping soundly. As usual, I


    touched his face from his forehead down to the tip of his nose, then to his thin lips. My forefinger


    lingered on his lips for a few seconds, then I pulled myself up and kissed his lips.


    Unexpectedly, Vince opened his eyes and looked straight at me.


    I left his lips awkwardly, chuckled softly, and asked, ¡° Woke you up?¡±


    Shaking his head, he said, ¡°I¡¯ve been awake for a long time.¡±


    ¡°So you¡¯re pretending to be asleep?¡± I blinked in surprise and looked at him.


    Vince replied nothing, stretched his arms, and wrapped me. I gently rested my head on his chest to feel


    his pounding heart. It¡¯s a nice feeling.


    ¡°Vince, can I ask you a question?¡± I asked softly. He faintly said yes.


    ¡°Why do you pick me?¡± I had been bothered by this question for a long time. I thought that with Vince¡¯s


    status, there were numerous women who would like to go to bed with him. Why he just wanted to be


    with me?

    Having heard my question, he propped himself up slightly and sat on the bed. I also sat up and faced


    him.


    He looked at me with a serious look, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Then he said, ¡°Because


    you were so crazy and wild that night, squeezing me so hard that left me a deep impression...¡±


    Before he could finish his words, I immediately interrupted him, covering his mouth with my little palm.


    ¡°Complete nonsense!¡± Feeling ashamed, I just wanted to dig a hole in the ground, jump in and never


    get out.


    Well, it¡¯s really really hard to hear the truth from his mouth and I just dug a hole for myself. I should


    have known this early.


    Vince removed my hand away from his mouth with his hand, looking at my flushed face and said in a


    soft voice, ¡°Please just stay by my side.¡±


    I nodded, ¡°I will.¡±


    I didn¡¯t expect Vince to marry me and give me a lifetime promise. I still remembered the solemn and


    sacred vows Jerry made when I married him. However, it turned out that all his words were nonsense.


    As a result, I became afraid of marriage. And I was afraid that when I married Vince, our present


    harmonious rtionship would be destroyed.

 Chapter 13 Wine Party

    Chapter 13 Wine Party


    I finally got a job, working as an order operator for a logisticspany. Although it wasn¡¯t a well-paid


    job, it was enough for me. I hadn¡¯t told Vince that I got the job. The logisticspany had two shifts,


    the day shift and the night shift which allowed employees to return home after 2 o¡¯clock. I had


    negotiated with them about this, and I had told them that I would join in only if they could ept the


    fact that I wasn¡¯t able to work on the nightshift.


    I didn¡¯t know why their boss epted and agreed to employ me, but I did know that I couldn¡¯t waste my


    time anymore and I had to get a job soon. Otherwise, I had to live on air.


    I had dealt with orders all day. And I got along well with my colleagues. They were all nice and were


    d to instruct me when I asked them questions.


    At 6 pm, I knocked off. I took the bus to the station and walked two hundred meters to get back to my


    apartment. When I open the door, I was startled to see that Vince was sitting in the living room.


    It was a little dark in the autumn night. However, he didn¡¯t turn on the light. He seemed to like darkness


    which conformed to his serious and taciturn characters.


    I turned on the light, nced at him, and put my handbags down. After taking off my t shoes and


    putting them away, I asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you pressing your lips?¡±


    ¡°Where did you go?¡± He asked in a deep voiceced with slight irritation.


    ¡°I didn¡¯t go anywhere.¡± I looked at him and answered seriously. I knew that he wanted me to behave


    myself at the apartment all the time so that he would be able to see me when he came over here.


    Vince rose from his chair and moved toward me. A sense ofpulsion pressing against me, I took a


    step back and asked again, ¡°What the hell is wrong with you?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ve waited for you for an hour,¡± Vince said as if he had suffered a lot of grievances. It¡¯s just an hour


    and I didn¡¯t do this on purpose. I had to work and feed myself. It''s impossible for me to wait for him 24


    hours a day.


    Of course, I wouldn¡¯t tell him those words to his face. Considering his feelings, I yielded first, ¡°Well,


    when I ask you to go out on a date in future, you are granted a dy of two hours as my punishment,


    double the time you waited for me, okay?¡±


    ¡°You are extremely sweet today.¡± Vince swept his finger over my nose tenderly and I looked up at him,


    a small smile broke out on my face.


    ¡°I am always sweet, and you just knew it?¡± When I finished, I immediately noticed that something


    strange was shimmering in his eyes.


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    ¡°I¡¯ll make sure of that myself after tasting.¡± He said and kissed me. His lips pressed hard onto mine and


    sucked. Slowly, he released me and sighed contentedly, ¡°Well, indeed sweet.¡±


    I rolled my eyes at him, thinking that he should be so humorous.


    ¡°Nance, go and put on the dress. I want to take you out.¡± Vince said, pointing at a delicate gift box on


    the table. I took one look, then turned around and looked at him with a confused look.


    ¡°Where are we going?¡±


    ¡°To attend the wine party held for the 20th anniversary of the Ouyang Group¡¯s establishment. I want to


    attend with you.¡± Hearing those words, a dark shadow fell across my face. I shook my head and


    rejected, ¡°No.¡±


    ¡°Afraid to meet Jerry?¡± Vince questioned.


    He was right. I¡¯ve slowly taken him out of my heart and tried to forget him since I left him so many days


    ago. Time almost healed all my sorrows. I must be a fool to attend the party and meet him again.


    ¡°No.¡± I denied it. I was not afraid. I just didn¡¯t want to see that guy.


    ¡°You are mypanion and I want you to be the most charming woman at the party.¡± Finishing his


    exaggerated statement, Vince looked at me, lips curling into a smirk, confidence shing in his eyes.


    I looked at him silently and had no idea how to reject him.


    Vince grasped my hand tenderly and picked up the dress on the table. I was tugged downstairs by him


    like this and got in his car. He had arranged a visagiste for me and even a diamond ne.


    I was dressed up beautifully. It was the first time in three years that I had been so graceful and


    fashionable.


    I looked at myself in the mirror. The string course of the high-waist, light purple fishtail dress perfectly


    graced my posture, the long thick hair hanging down the shoulders. Besides, the fairplexion and


    fine features served as a foil to the brilliance of me.


    I had to admit that I should be so radiant.


    When I was in a trance, tworge hands crossed my waist from behind, folding together in front of my


    abdomen. Vince wrapped me and tapped my shoulder tenderly with his lips, looking at himself and me


    in the standard mirror.


    ¡°You¡¯re perfectly beautiful,¡± Vince praised in a low voice.


    Looking at him in the mirror, I smiled. Women indeed loved men¡¯spliments, and Vince knew


    women¡¯s hearts well.

 Chapter 14 Shes My Girlfriend

    Chapter 14 She''s My Girlfriend


    Vince took me to the wine party.


    We walked along the red carpet, walked pass the arch that made by flowers, then walked across the


    backyard that decorated as a beautiful garden. We came to the huge Vi Hall of Ouyang''s house,


    which was decorated luxuriously and was very lively.


    Vince and I arrivedte. But as soon as we arrived, we attracted people¡¯s attention. I could feel the love


    and the affection in the eyes of the woman at the reception. I pursed my lips and chuckled, quietly


    leaned against Vince¡¯s ear and jokingly said, ¡°Your luck in love tonight seems to be very prosperous.¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s always been like this.¡± He turned his face and gave me a confident smile.


    Yes, Vince was a man full of charm. Until now, I even felt that I was living in a dream. Would such an


    excellent man belong to me forever?


    In fact, I had thought about the answer. I couldn¡¯t even conquer a man like Jerry, let alone Vince, who


    was hundreds of times better than Jerry.


    And I saw him in the crowd as well.


    Jerry brought Duo Lian to the reception. Duo''s belly was bigger thanst time when I saw her. Her light


    pink fluffy dress made her look chubbier.


    She was not tall, and she smiled at me with happiness, while leaning on Jerry¡¯s arm.


    I felt soplicated. It was not because I was unhappy while seeing this, but because I thought I


    shouldn¡¯te to such a part for the first ce. If someone I knew saw me and asked me about this, I


    had no idea how to exin it.


    Vince¡¯s big hand suddenly covered my hand. I was stunned and suddenly looked back at him. He tilted


    his head to me and whispered, ¡°You have to let go the past.¡±


    ¡°Am I the kind of woman that cannot let go?¡± I pursed my lips, kept a beautiful and decent smile. I


    answered softly. I am Nance, I am noble and aloof. Although my family had no strong background, my


    temperament was not inferior to anyone.


    ¡°That¡¯s good then.¡± He stopped, took a ss of wine from the waiter¡¯s te and handed it over to me. I


    didn¡¯t take it and said, ¡°I don¡¯t want to drink.¡±


    ¡°Okay.¡± Vince, holding a goblet, gently shook the red wine and sipped it. Just as he was about to talk to


    me, an acquaintance came over.


    "Vince, youe here sote, you should be punished with three drinks." A middle-aged man, balding


    in the forehead, walked up to Vince with a kind smile, followed by a beautiful young woman.


    "Uncle Ouyang is really good at joking. Today''s protagonist is Ouyang family, not me." Vince did a good


    job of this kind of business etiquette.


    I stood quietly aside, thinking, this should be Ouyang family''s biggest boss, the girl behind that should


    be his daughter.


    "Qi, have you not been looking for Vince all the time tonight? Now that he is here, why don''t youe


    here to propose a toast?" Kun Ouyang raised eyebrows to remind Qi Ouyang behind him.


    Qi gracefully stepped forward and gave a charming smile to Vince. After the wine ss touched, Qi


    said sweetly, "brother Vince, long time no see, you be more handsome than before."


    Vince smiled at Qi and said, ¡°I am ttered.¡±


    As soon as he finished his words, Qi''s face suddenly turned to me. She looked suspiciously at my


    hand, which was on Vince''s wrist and asked, "Who is thisdy?¡±


    "She is my girlfriend." The introduction from Vince not only shocked Qi, I could clearly see the loss in


    her eyes, at the same time, his answer also surprised me.


    In fact, he could only say that I was hispanion. I''m not that kind of woman who once slept with a


    man and had to make that man responsible for me. I won¡¯t cry and beg people not to leave me. I had


    always trusted only one truth, begging for love is neither long-term means, nor a happy ending.


    On hearing the introduction, Kun looked at me up and down in a strange way and asked, "Thisdy


    seems so familiar. Have we met before?"


    I gave Kun a polite smile. As soon as I was about to answer, I heard Jerry''s voice.


    C0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    "Her name is Nance. She used to be a model, and was also my..." Jerry led Duo forward, looked at me,


    raised his eyebrows, smirked sarcastically, and continued, ¡°She is also my ex-wife.¡±


    As soon as he finished those words, the harmonious atmosphere was frozen.


    I red at Jerry angrily. I knew that he was deliberately trying to upset Vince. The implication was that I


    was picked up by Vince that he didn¡¯t want and threw me away like an old shoe.


    I endured my anger and bit my teeth. If it wasn''t for this special asion, I would definitely give him a


    p.

 Chapter 15 Sarcasm

    Chapter 15 Sarcasm


    I could feel Kun Ouyang and Qi Ouyang were staring at me with undisguised contempt, and I felt


    embarrassed under their questioning gaze, but there was nothing I could do but to stand there still.


    I knew it was not a good idea for me toe to this asion, but Vince insisted that I shoulde.


    Now, my presence was awkward, and my mood was totally ruined.


    Vince ced his hand on my shoulder and pressed down hard. He then put a sly smile on his face,


    looked at Jerry and said: ¡°It seems like Mr Lu couldn¡¯t even tell the beauty from the ugliness. I guess I


    always need to think twice before doing business with you.¡±


    All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Kun echoed what he said. ¡°Yes! Vince is correct!¡±


    Jerry didn¡¯t expect Vince would react so strongly and so fast. Not only did he lose face in front of


    Ouyang Family, but he lost a good opportunity in business. He exined in a hurry: ¡°Me and Nance


    broke up peacefully. She is a wonderful woman.¡±


    ¡°The fact that she is a wonderful woman further proves that you are a terrible man.¡± Vince looked at


    Jerry coldly. His presence was somanding that Jerry was soon intimated into silence.


    Then there was an awkward silence. Kun dispelled the silence by giving a heartyugh . He said to


    Vince: ¡°Vince,e to my study, we need to talk about that piece ofnd on the east side of the city.¡±


    ¡°Fine.¡± Vince said. He then leaned towards me and whispered: ¡°Find a quiet ce and eat something.


    I¡¯ll be back soon.¡±


    I nodded. He released my hand and followed Kun.


    I wanted to go to a corner, but Qi stopped me when she saw Vince was gone. She said: ¡°Miss Mo, I


    want to talk with you.¡±


    I nodded. I knew what she wanted to talk with me. Her eyes betrayed her thoughtspletely. She


    loves Vince. Vince is handsome and rich and powerful, and that¡¯s why many women in that party


    wanted to get close to him. I could almost feel their envious stares upon me.


    Qi walked to me with her chin tipped . She stood next to me, sniffed my body and said: ¡°The perfume


    you are wearing is Chanel. I guess Vince bought it for you.¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡± I answered frankly. There was no need to lie about it.


    ¡°So, you are a model? What kind of pictures do you take?¡± She seemed to be very interested in me. I


    knew she was only trying to figure out why did I get divorced, and how did I get to know Vince. Women


    are all alike.


    ¡°Just some print ads, and sometimes I also endorse some products.¡± I said inly. I looked away, and I


    really wanted to go for a walk outside. Ouyang Family¡¯s extravagance was making me very nervous.


    ¡°I see.¡± Qi said quietly. Then sheughed slightly and said: ¡°Vince loves hanging out with models, but


    he usually gets tired with a model within half a year.¡±


    I knew she would say something like this to belittle me. So when I heard it, I gave no response. Not a


    tinge of sadness, nor anger, was to be noticed from my expression, which disturbed Qi a lot. She


    arched her brow in disbelief and disgust.


    ¡°Miss Ouyang, I want to go for a walk. Do you want toe with me?¡± I stopped ying the passive


    role in this conversation and asked in a soft voice.


    Qi shook her head and said: ¡°No. I need to see what are my dad and Vince talking about. I don¡¯t know


    whether my dad has brought up my marriage or not.¡±


    Then she nced at me proudly and walked upstairs.


    I stood there motionlessly, because what Qi just said shocked me. A waiter walked by with a tray, and I


    grabbed a ss of wine and gulped it down. The wine was so bitter and I coughed ufortably.


    People looked at me in a judgemental way, and I put the ss down and walked into the yard rapidly.


    It was autumn and it was very cold at night. My gown was pressed tightly against my body because the


    wind was blowing. I put my arms around myself and made myself smaller to keep warm. The


    temperature outside was so much lower than the inside.


    But I¡¯d rather put up with the coldness than putting up with their fake smiles.


    Some timeter, someone put a jacket on me, and I felt so much warmer. I looked around, and


    surprisingly, it was him.
