After serving time in prison for her sister, she was forced to marry a man destined to die young, living a meager life. Little did she know, this dying man would transform into the supremely powerf...
"I can't stand seeing a beautiful woman in distress, so please give me a chance. Besides, you can't even leave the house right now, I'm only doing this for your own good."
Xiang Jin hesitated.
Gu Feiyang dragged her inside, saying, "Listen to me, I won't hurt you."
The hotel staff brought Xiang Jin several outfits, and after looking at them for a long time, Xiang Jin finally chose a shirt.
As Gu Feiyang was changing and heading out, he was on the phone: "Female companion? Where am I supposed to find a female companion at a time like this? Besides, I'm too lazy to pretend!"
"Okay, okay, I'll think of something. This is so annoying."
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Xiang Jin, and his eyes lit up.
"Little beauty, I saved you last time, so I'll help you this time too. Right now, I'm in trouble. Would you be willing to help me?" He blinked his big eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Xiang Jin looked away, only four words flashing before her eyes: "Acting cute is shameful."
But Gu Feiyang had indeed helped her, and she didn't like owing favors, so she decided to repay him if she could.
Thinking this, she nodded.
Xiang Jin was led into the fitting room.
A short while later, she came out wearing a blue V-neck evening gown and beige high heels.
She has a great figure, with curves in all the right places. Working in a warehouse all the time has left her with no extra fat on her body. Wearing this dress, she suddenly looks like she's been reborn.
Her fox-like eyes, in particular, perfectly framed her entire face.
It's breathtakingly beautiful, even a little bewitching.
Gu Feiyang was stunned.
"Are you going to a banquet?" He helped her change into an evening gown and put her hair up.
"Yes, you're my date today. Our Xiang Xiao is indeed a beauty; dressed up like this, she looks better than any celebrity or aristocrat." Gu Feiyang spoke sweet words with ease.
Xiang Jin scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"Let's go, it's upstairs, I'll take you up." Gu Feiyang reached out to take Xiang Jin's hand, but Xiang Jin instinctively dodged away.
"I'll walk by myself." She gestured and headed towards the elevator.
She hoped that Young Master Gu's banquet would end soon so that she could go back to work. She had only asked for three hours off, and she didn't know if that would be enough.
The elevator stopped on the fourth floor, and the lively atmosphere of the venue rushed towards them. It was the Murong family's special event that Xiang Jin had just attended. Xiang Jin was stunned and quickly grabbed Gu Feiyang: "The banquet you're attending, is this it?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Xiang Jin's face turned pale.
"Come on, little beauty, what are you daydreaming about! Let me tell you, that most handsome and dashing man is my brother, brother!" Gu Feiyang greeted Murong Xiao warmly.
Upon hearing the voice, Murong Xiao turned his head, his gaze following Gu Feiyang and settling on Xiang Jin.
After a moment of stunned silence, his face suddenly darkened.
Gu Feiyang pulled Xiang Jin along and jogged over.
"Brother, this is my date, isn't she beautiful!" Gu Feiyang said proudly. "Let me tell you, I'm going to pursue her. I want her to be my girlfriend!"
What? What girlfriend?
Xiang Jin hurriedly shook off his hand. She had only come to help and had no other purpose. Why was this young master Gu trying to trick her?
Xiang Jin looked at Murong Xiao nervously.
"Girlfriend? You like her?" Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow and sneered.
"What, you're allowed to be all lovey-dovey with your sister-in-law, but I'm not allowed to date?" He grabbed Xiang Jin's shoulder. "I'm going to pursue her!"
With his deep gaze fixed on the hand on Xiang Jin's shoulder, Murong Xiao's expression became even more unpleasant than before.
“Darling, who is this…” Fang Xinman brought up a glass of red wine and affectionately took Murong Xiao’s hand. Her gaze swept over Xiang Jin, and she was slightly surprised.
Isn't this the mute guy who appeared in Hansheng last time? He thought he was pretty enough to seduce Master Xiao, but failed, so he's trying to seduce Young Master Gu now.
"This is my girlfriend, come at me if you have a problem!" Seeing Fang Xinman's unfriendly gaze, Gu Feiyang stepped in front of Xiang Jin.
"You seem to feel sorry for her, huh? You don't know what she's like..."
"I'm going to the restroom." Xiang Jin gestured a couple of times and hurriedly left the venue.
Just as she reached the corner, a pair of strong hands suddenly grabbed her wrists, pulled her into the room, and slammed the door shut.
Murong Xiao leaned closer, his tone as cold as ice: "You've got some nerve, managing to seduce my brother. Tell me, what do you see in him?"
He grabbed her chin, his pupils shrinking sharply.
Her jaw throbbed with pain, and Xiang Jin shook her head frantically. No, she didn't.
"Have you no shame... Do you even know who you are?!"
"As long as we're not divorced, you're still my woman!"
He threw her onto the bed and pounced on her.
Xiang Jin struggled desperately, but she was no match for his strength and could only be pinned down by him, followed by a barrage of kisses.
A warm, damp sensation interrupted Murong Xiao.
She cried, silent tears sliding down her cheeks and landing on the back of his hand.
"Are you really that unwilling to accept this..." His tone was icy cold, almost clenched through gritted teeth, "Get out!"
Xiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then immediately scrambled to her feet in a panic, opened the door, and rushed outside.
She left a note for Gu Feiyang and had a waiter take it inside, saying that she had something to do and couldn't attend the banquet. Then she went back to the fitting room to change her clothes and hurriedly returned to the warehouse.
……………………
The warehouse was quite busy. After moving all the goods, it was already 11 p.m. when I got home.
"Madam, why are you only just getting back? Young Master had a terrible temper today. Oh, why do you look so pale?" Zhou Zhou said as she walked up to Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
"Madam, the young master is looking for you," said Butler Feng as he approached.
"Is this the end of the score?" Xiang Jin's face paled, and her fingertips grew cold. She walked upstairs step by step.
The study was filled with the smell of smoke, and the swirling smoke made it hard for Xiang Jin to breathe, causing her to sneeze several times.
His deep gaze shot towards Xiang Jin, who quickly looked away and sat down opposite him: "You, were you looking for me?"
She gestured.
"signature."
There was a document on the table with the words "Divorce Agreement" on the cover so eye-catching that Xiang Jin couldn't help but notice it.
She took a deep breath, didn't even glance at the contents, and went straight to the last page, ready to sign her name under the woman's name.
The agreement in his hand was suddenly snatched away, and Murong Xiao tore it to shreds: "What, are you in such a hurry to sign?"
How much she hated him.
Xiang Jin gripped the pen tightly and wrote: "We'll have to separate sooner or later."
"You left to go find Gu Feiyang? I didn't realize you liked him so much." He scoffed, his tone as cold as ever.
Xiang Jin didn't speak. The air in the room felt a bit stuffy, and she couldn't help but cough twice.
