Ancheng, July.

Yun Yishu lay on the bed, catching her breath heavily. Her long curled lashes enveloping her clear eyes, misted over with bewilderment. Her rosy lips opening and closing in rapid breaths, her breath hot and erratic.

Tearing at her own clothes…

What was happening to her?

All she recalled was Yi Zirui telling her that tonight was her birthday and sending her a message to join him alone at the Emperor's Pride for a surprise celebration.

But... she felt strange, where her body was heating up, as if it were ready to explode, and as she opened her eyes in a daze, she found herself staring into a pair of deep, dark eyes.

The familiar arched eyebrows, the straight nose, the thin lips, the sexy adam's apple, Yun Yishu's consciousness was a bit scattered, her gaze blurry and hazy.

Gradually, the man before her eyes and the man in her heart seemed to merge into one.

"Xiao Nan... I feel awful..."

Unable to control herself, Yun Yishu let out a low cry, her soft, boneless hands encircling the man's neck, pulling him down.

She kissed his attractive lips.

Cool, soft.

Upon hearing his name from her lips, the man's handsome face instantly turned dark, almost cold, a chilling vibe emanating from him.

Yun Yishu, oblivious to all, kissed him passionately. Naive, yet fervent, hopelessly biting, sucking, and caressing his thin lips.

"Hiss." A low stifled grunt came from the man. Clasping her slender wrist, his sharp eyes emanated a deep cold light, "Look clearly, I am not your Xiao Nan!"

Lowering his gaze,

He looked at the petite woman beneath him, her jewel-like eyes brimming with tears, her exquisite face flush and rosy, as if coated with rouge, enchanting and captivating.

An inexplicable feeling of familiarity swept over him.

"Do you... want me to suffer?”

"Alright." The man inexplicably agreed with one word.

His dark eyes deepened as he released her wrist, his well-defined hand gripping her chin, bending down, his icy lips pressed directly down onto hers.

His kiss was forceful, domineering, fierce, and gave her no chance to catch her breath.

It hurt.

It hurts so much...

The next day,

Yun Yishu woke up with a splitting headache, slowly opening her thick, curly lashes, her clear and bright eyes filled with a hint of confusion upon waking.

Once she turned her face and saw the man sleeping soundly, her face turned pale immediately.

He is not Xiao Nan! But last night she clearly saw that face was Xiao Nan's...

As Yun Yishu panicked and sat up in bed, getting dressed quickly, a loud pounding sound came from outside the door.

The man in the bed opened his eyes, it was a distinctively angular handsome face of Xiao Mu, his skin was smooth and fair, his eyes were deep and black, exuding a confusing and captivating color.

"Bang!" A loud crash echoed as the door was forcibly pushed open.

A group of people rushed in, the air filled with a sharp and resentful voice. "You little wretch!" The voice lashed out accusingly, "Daring to frolic with random men, do you even spare a thought for Zi Rui?"

The voice belonged to her prospective mother-in-law, Shen Yi Qiu.

Yun Yi Shu slowly lifted her gaze, catching it on the sight of a beautiful silhouette holding the hand of her so-called fiancé. She smirked, evidently pleased with herself.

A flicker of crimson rage sparked in Yun Yi Shu's eyes as they bore into the other woman's like a predatory wolf.

Last night, her best friend, Leng Chu Rou, brought her to Di Hao and told her that Zi Rui had a surprise for her. After drinking a glass of juice that Leng Chu Rou passed to her, she felt dizzy and was helped into the room by Leng Chu Rou. As for what happened next...

Startled by Yun Yi Shu's intense gaze, Leng Chu Rou moved closer to Yi Zi Rui, almost wrapping herself around him.

"Yun Yi Shu, you truly are as disgraceful as your mother," the sharp voice hurled accusation. "Even after our engagement, you dare to secretly see other men!"
