“Um…” Su He widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the man who was so close to her that their noses were literally touching.

  The softness of his lips and the exchange of their breaths were telling her that this man was kissing her!

  Su He was shocked. She struggled and wanted to move backward. However, Ye Yan looked like he had predicted this. He held the back of her head steadily so that she did not have a chance to retreat.

  His tongue entangled with hers with a trace of dominance and determination. Su He passively allowed him to do as he pleased while staring at him from her peripheral vision.

  This was her second time staring at Ye Yan at such a close range. The first time was when they were on the hotel bed. It was clear that Su He did not have a pleasant experience with both intimate encounters.

  While Su He was staring at Ye Yan, he was also looking at the person before him. When his gaze met Su He’s, Ye Yan felt like his heart had been stung.

  Apart from the stinging sensation of pain, familiar images suddenly appeared in his mind one after another.

  Under the dark night and hazy light, their fingers had intertwined. Tears had welled up her eyes. Her gaze was filled with all sorts of emotions, including disappointment, determination, heartache, mourning and a trace of great love and longing that refused to disappear. The woman in his mind was exactly like the woman before him. Her eyes were very much like hers.

  The feeling, the taste, and the touch… Ye Yan subconsciously clenched his hands. There was a hint of shock from the way he looked at Su He. Could this woman be…


  At that time, Su He totally had no idea that Ye Yan had discovered some clues based on his senses. She wanted to get herself out of her current predicament but unwittingly indulged in Ye Yan’s dominance.

  After they finished kissing, Su He panted for breath and fell into Ye Yan’s arms. Meanwhile, Ye Yan was at a loss when the images flashed across his mind and he remained completely unaware that the person in his arms had slowly recovered her senses.

  A loud, crisp sound broke the silent atmosphere in the lounge. Ye Yan was stunned as he touched his slapped, pained cheek. He looked at the person in front of him dumbfoundedly, as if he had never expected that Su He would actually strike him.

  Su He’s face had turned red. Regardless of whether it was due to anger or embarrassment, she sucked in a few deep breaths. In the end, she did not say anything. She glared fiercely at the person before her before she turned around and left.

  Ye Yan was struck dumb after he was slapped by Su He all of a sudden. He stood rooted to the spot and in a daze for some time and did not immediately go after her.

  Su He sprinted out of the lounge angrily with her head down. As she was walking out, she could not stop wiping her lips until they turned red and swollen. The redness on her cheeks had not faded away.

  After Su He snapped out of her daze, there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. Those who had no context on her situation would have had their imaginations run wild if they saw her, thinking that certain scenes that were inappropriate for children had happened inside the lounge just now.

  Even though what Ye Yan had done to her had not reached the age-restricted stage, it could definitely be considered indecent!

  Su He’s eyes were sparkling with tears. She was confused and unsure if she was feeling happy or sad at that moment.

  If Ye Yan were to do that to her the moment she returned to the country, she would have certainly burst out in joy. However, now…


  He had clearly forgotten about her. He had forgotten about the promise he had made to her in the beginning. He had forgotten everything they had been through together in the past.

  He had confessed his love to another woman and even took something that she loved to please someone else.

  However, why did he suddenly do a 180-degree turn with his attitude? Why did he… kiss her all of a sudden while fully conscious?

  Su He’s mind went blank. While she was delighted over the fact that Ye Yan was being so intimate with her, she scolded herself for not being firm. One kiss from him, and it made her lose her cool, making her behave abnormally.

  Su He bit her lip. She forced herself to retain a clear mind through the pain. At the same time, her right hand subconsciously covered her abdomen. The confusion and complex emotions in her eyes began to clear up.

  No matter what, she had already made up her mind to end this absurd and fruitless unrequited love that night. Therefore, she should not continue to be involved with this man.

  The child was her unexpected gift. She would deliver the baby and educate the child. However, she might not be willing to tell the child about Ye Yan’s existence in order to avoid him from fighting for the child’s custody.

  The child belonged to her and had nothing to do with Ye Yan at all!

  After Su He thought it over, her gaze sank. Her eyes were tinged with a hint of determination.

  Just then, a ruckus suddenly broke out from the elevator entrance not far away from her.

  Su He was immediately alerted and listened in on the conversation. Her expression abruptly changed, and she quickly dashed over to the direction where the noise came from.

  Li had suffered a tragedy as well. Ever since Ling Ran had gone on a business trip, her appetite was not as good as before. She no longer enjoyed her meals like before, even though the taste of the dishes were still the same.

  This was especially so for today. When she looked at the dishes that she usually had with Ling Ran in the past, she suddenly lost her appetite. She hastily took a few bites before she threw the rest into the dustbin.

  After she thought it over, she decided to go out on her own and bought something to eat for herself. At the same time, she wanted to get some fresh air.

  Li went on a shopping spree and bought a lot of stuff from the supermarket. Her mood grew slightly better. However, she had never expected that while she was carrying the stuff back from outside, she would bump into an unexpected guest.

  “Miss, I’m sorry. If you did not make an appointment beforehand, our general manager usually would not entertain you.” The young lady at the front desk apologized politely to a stylishly dressed woman. However, there was a lack of respect in her tone.

  The other receptionists at the side were behaving the same. There was a hint of displeasure and indifference in their eyes. Apparently, they did not quite welcome the rude lady who had dropped in unannounced.

  Before this, the receptionists at the front desk had explicitly told the lady before them that their general manager was occupied. If she made an appointment, she had to wait for a moment. If not, she had to come early the next morning.

  However, the lady did not listen to them. She insisted on meeting their general manager. Besides, she behaved extremely poorly and arrogantly. It was hard to not make others hate her.

  “Make an appointment? Why would a person like me need to make an appointment? Let me tell you, you better call your general manager and ask her to meet me right away or take me upstairs. Otherwise, you guys would definitely suffer your own consequences. Trust me, I’ll make you all unable to stay in Shalnork in the future!”


  The receptionists’ expressions turned pale upon hearing the smug woman’s threat. Just then, Li came in from the main entrance. Her radiant complexion, which she had taken great pains to regain, had turned gloomy once again.
