Feeling puzzled, she opened her eyes, furrowed her brows, and popped her head out of the covers to look when Mu Yazhe’s handsome face appeared right in front of hers out of the blue.

  “You finally ‘woke’ up!”


  There was ridicule and playfulness in his eyes, which looked very devilish.

  Her face heated up instantly, along with the temperature of her body!

  The man raised his eyebrow at her suggestively and invitingly. “Be good and sit up.”


  “I—”


  She was tempted to tell him: I can’t!

  Alas, a certain man clearly did not intend to give her a way of retreat!

  Tonight, the man finally got what he wanted, which was to enjoy the much-anticipated charm of a certain woman. He seemed to be tireless and worked her through the night of absurdity, getting the entire bed sheet wrinkled.

  When morning came, the man roused from bed, washed himself, and got dressed before gently kissing the woman’s forehead and leaving. When she woke up and saw the traces of spots on the sheets, how could she still continue sleeping?

  Quickly, she got up to wash and dry the bedsheets before the two little ones saw them. After which, she returned to the room, took out a box from the drawer, opened it, retrieved a small pill, and drank it with water.

  That fella!

  He had released all his reserves through the night of absurdity!

  In the end, she had to take another morning-after pill.

  Alas, this naïve woman was completely unaware that the pills inside the box were no longer for contraception but for gestation—folic acid, in fact—instead, and a certain, conniving man was secretly responsible for the switch!

  She was still feeling smug about her ingenuity, but how on Earth would she know that she had been had by an even smarter man?……

  After that, she went to take another long, tiring nap. The two boys obviously knew how tired their dear mother was, so they did not try to wake her up.

  That afternoon when she woke up, Youyou immediately prepared a very late lunch for her. After she ate her meal, the woman finally remembered that she had got a serious business at hand and asked for a meeting with her bestie.

  Her best friend came back with a message, asking if her boyfriend could come along.

  She immediately sent a response.[I just want to talk to you alone today; is that alright? Just the two of us.]

  After a while, Xiao Xue returned her a text. [I guess it’s fine. Actually…… Shishi, I’m supposed to meet with Gao Nan.]

  Yun Shishi’s heart beat violently again, fiercely recalling what happened at the bar last night and that man’s unbelievably unscrupulous and despicable words—


  ‘Marrying her is the biggest reward she’ll get for loving me.

  ‘I don’t mind it if you tell her about this. Hmm…… In fact, I’m even looking forward to seeing the crumbling expression on her face when she finds out. Haha. I’m sure it’ll be very interesting!

  ‘I’ve long gotten sick of her, anyway. If it isn’t because she’s always fantasizing about getting married to me, why do you think I’ll marry her?’


  After witnessing how deeply in love her bestie was with that man again, she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

  This wouldn’t do!

  I mustn’t let Gao Nan hurt her any longer!

  Her reply to her friend was strong. [I have something to speak to you alone!]

  [What do you want to talk about? My boyfriend is one of us; what can’t we talk in front of him?]

  [It’s a women’s private conversation, so no man is allowed! I’ll wait for you at the café, alright?]

  Xiao Xue’s reluctant reply came back after a long time. [Alright. It’s just as well; we haven’t hung out in a while.]
