“Stupid b*tch, why are you leaving? Are you playing with me?”


  The man chased after Liu Keke and quickly grabbed her wrist, slapping her.

  Liu Keke covered her red and swollen face and glared at the man with red eyes.

  “I’m here to sell my bracelet, not my body!”


  “I don’t care what you’re selling. If I like it, you can forget about escaping!”


  The man dragged Liu Keke toward the private room.

  Liu Keke was no match for the man’s strength. When she saw Shen Mingxiu standing by the side, she gritted her teeth and refused to ask him for help.

  Seeing that she was about to be dragged into the room by the man, she punched the man’s nose.

  “Don’t you see that she’s unwilling? Let go!”


  The man was a little afraid when he saw Shen Mingxiu, who was tall and looked like he often fought.

  “Stupid b*tch, don’t let me see you again!” The man pointed at Liu Keke’s nose and left with a distorted expression.

  Liu Keke covered her face with her hands and turned her back to Shen Mingxiu, her slender shoulders trembling.

  Shen Mingxiu looked at Liu Keke, who was crying softly, and his hands clenched into fists.

  After a few seconds of silence, he came up to her. “Didn’t I give you a sum of money? Why are you selling the bracelet?”


  Liu Keke turned her head away, not looking at Shen Mingxiu. “It’s none of your business.”


  “Alright, since you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you.” Shen Mingxiu wanted to leave, but he had just taken a step when his sleeve was pulled by a delicate hand.

  Liu Keke’s tear-stained eyelashes fluttered and she looked pitiful. She lowered her head and said softly, “My company is in danger and needs a sum of money. My mother asked me to sell the family heirloom jade bracelet. That man claims to be the owner of a jade shop…”


  “Who knew he was a liar!”


  Shen Mingxiu looked at Liu Keke, whose face was covered in tears, and frowned. “Go back first. I’ll go and find out about your company. If I can help, I’ll help you.”


  “But Liu Keke, this is the last time I’m helping you.”


  Liu Keke let go of Shen Mingxiu’s sleeve and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. “Brother Mingxiu, I don’t regret what happened that night. I admit that my feelings for you are not simple. I have no regrets giving you the most precious thing!”


  Hearing this, Shen Mingxiu’s handsome face darkened. “I told you not to mention that again!”


  Liu Keke nodded. “I never told anyone.”


  “You can go back first!”


  Liu Keke nodded obediently.

  After Liu Keke left, Shen Mingxiu was about to return to the room when he turned around and saw Gu Yang not far away.

  Gu Yang had her hands in her pockets as she looked at Shen Mingxiu expressionlessly.

  It was obvious that Gu Yang had heard Liu Keke’s words.

  Shen Mingxiu’s heart tightened and a sense of panic and nervousness grew in his limbs.

  “Brother Yang, after I broke up with An Rui, I was in a bad mood and drank too much that night. I asked my brother to send me home. I don’t know how Liu Keke found me. I was in a daze and thought she was An Rui.”


  “I only knew that I did something wrong when I woke up.” Shen Mingxiu scratched his head. He had no impression of what happened that night. “I won’t drink anymore in the future and won’t make the same mistake again. Brother Yang, can you keep this a secret for me…”


  Before Shen Mingxiu could finish, he was punched in the face by Gu Yang.

  Shen Mingxiu took a few steps back.

  The skin at the corner of his mouth was broken. Shen Mingxiu wiped the blood away and frowned at Gu Yang, whose expression was dark. “Brother Yang, you really can’t tell Ruirui about this. If not, we’re really doomed!”


  Gu Yang walked in front of Shen Mingxiu, her well-defined hands grabbing his collar. Her voice was extremely cold. “Old Shen, don’t tell me that you made a mistake that every man in the world would make!”


  “You know very well how An Rui treats you. Don’t use being drunk as an excuse. If you didn’t indulge Liu Keke, she wouldn’t have the guts to climb into your bed.”


  “If you only have An Rui in your heart, you wouldn’t treat others as her even if you’re drunk!” Gu Yang’s grip on Shen Mingxiu’s collar tightened until he was almost suffocating. “You made such a serious mistake and you still want me to keep it a secret?”


  Shen Mingxiu was really panicking. He begged softly, “Brother Yang, I didn’t want to. If I had listened to Ruirui and didn’t get too close to Liu Ke, that wouldn’t have happened!”


  “But since things have come to this, I can’t change the past. I can only treat Ruirui better in the future. Don’t worry, it’ll really only happen once. If something like that happens again, I’ll cut myself into pieces!”


  Gu Yang’s thin jawline was tense. “Tell An Rui about this yourself. If she forgives and accepts it, I won’t say another word…”


  Before Gu Yang could finish, a trembling voice suddenly came from the corner of the corridor.

  “I can’t accept or forgive you!”


  An Rui, whose face was already covered in tears, slowly walked out.

  No one knew how long she had been standing there, but from the tears on her face, it could be seen that she had heard everything!

  The moment he saw An Rui, Shen Mingxiu was stunned.

  “Xiao Ruirui…” Shen Mingxiu’s lips trembled, wanting to approach An Rui when An Rui suddenly shouted at him hysterically, “Just stand there, don’t come over!”


  An Rui did not expect to receive such a heavy blow when she came out happily for the gathering today!

  It was like a bolt from the blue!

  Her heart felt so terrible that it was about to split open, as if it had been smashed into pieces by a heavy hammer!

  Her eyes were filled with tears and she could not stop them.

  She looked at Shen Mingxiu with tears in her eyes, feeling that he was familiar yet unfamiliar.

  Their heartache last night seemed to have become a joke in an instant.

  An Rui covered her mouth and took a deep breath. “Shen Mingxiu, how can you still have the cheek to ask me to reconcile with you after what you’ve done?”


  With every word she said, her heart felt like it was bleeding. “How dare you? Do you think that I will forgive you if I like you more?”


  “You can’t be unfaithful once. Let me tell you, whether you’re drunk or not, I won’t give you another chance after what happened!”


  “Gu Yang, please pull him back and don’t let him chase after us. I really don’t want to be entangled with him anymore!”


  With that said, An Rui turned around and ran out.

  Ye Tian and Zhou Li came out to look for them and happened to hear An Rui’s words.

  Although she did not know what had happened, An Rui looked extremely sad.

  Ye Tian wanted to chase after her, but Zhou Li was faster and ran after An Rui.

  Shen Mingxiu wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Gu Yang.

  “She has already heard it. If you chase after her, you will only add fuel to the fire. Old Shen, you missed out on a good girl!”
