They had already had several close encounters today, but Qiao Wanwan could clearly sense that Zhan Jingting was angry, very angry.

She looked up in confusion, only to meet the man's deep, cold eyes.

"Are you so eager to draw a clear line between us?" Zhan Jingting's voice was low and cold, sending chills down one's spine. "Qiao Wanwan, do you have no heart?"

Qiao Wanwan was a little confused. "No... what did I do wrong?"

The man's thin lips pressed into a straight line, his handsome face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water. "Tell me what you did wrong."

"I didn't know, that's why I asked you!" Qiao Wanwan said, both confused and helpless. "Zhan Jingting, let go of me, you're hurting me!"

"Why should I let you go!" The man not only didn't let go, but gripped even tighter. "Qiao Wanwan, you came to me of your own accord. Now that you've provoked me, you can forget about cutting ties with me for the rest of your life!"

Qiao Wanwan was instantly furious. "Zhan Jingting, how dare you say such a thing? I did provoke you, but I didn't do it on purpose, and I'm also very wronged!"

Instead of getting angry, Zhan Jingting laughed, his expression even more terrifying than before. "You finally said it. You feel wronged about having a relationship with me, right? Qiao Wanwan, you look down on me that much? What do I have that I don't compare to Gu Xulin, huh?"

"This isn't about competing!" Qiao Wanwan struggled fiercely in his arms. "Let me go first!"

"I told you, you'll never leave me in this lifetime!" After saying that, the man lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Mmm..." Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened. She could clearly feel that the kiss was mixed with overwhelming anger and carried a sense of punishment.

A wave of shame and anger washed over her, and Qiao Wanwan struggled even harder, "Ugh...you...let...uh..."

The man's kiss was forceful and brutal, giving her no chance to escape.

The physical strength difference between the man and woman was too great, and Qiao Wanwan couldn't break free at all. She tried to bite him, but the man seemed to have anticipated her attack and skillfully dodged it.

Qiao Wanwan was both ashamed and angry, and tears welled up uncontrollably, flowing between their intertwined lips.

Zhan Jingting was startled, as if waking from a dream, and pulled away from her lips.

Qiao Wanwan seized the opportunity to push him away, and the next second, a crisp "slap" echoed in the large and exquisite study.

The two of them froze at the same time; the surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Qiao Wanwan's right hand went numb, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she stared blankly at the man in front of her.

The two stared at each other silently, the atmosphere becoming suffocatingly still.

She didn't know how much time had passed when there was a sudden knock on the door. Qiao Wanwan suddenly realized what was happening and turned to run out.

"Miss Qiao, what's wrong?" Jiang Dong, standing outside the door, looked completely bewildered.

Qiao Wanwan didn't answer her question. She returned to her guest room and slammed the door shut with a "bang".

Jiang Dong sensed something was wrong and went into the study. "Master Zhan..."

"Get out!" the man on the desk roared.

Jiang Dong was startled and quickly closed the door and left.

This... is it a case of the city gate catching fire and the fish in the moat suffering the consequences?

......

Qiao Wanwan took a shower and lay in bed tossing and turning for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

She was angry, extremely angry, because of Zhan Jingting!

She had just started to like him and thought he was a nice person, but she was proven wrong right away.

That scoundrel even dared to forcibly kiss her, he's absolutely despicable!

Qiao Wanwan rubbed her lips vigorously. Even though she had brushed her teeth, she still felt that Zhan Jingting's taste lingered in her mouth.

hateful!

She could never forgive him!

After a sleepless night, Qiao Wanwan finally drifted off to sleep just before dawn.

Early in the morning, Zhan Jingting sat at the dining table, his aura so oppressive that the maids around him could hardly breathe.

The man tapped his fingertips lightly on the table and said coldly, "Go and wake Qiao Wanwan up for breakfast."

"Yes, sir."

The maid turned around cautiously, about to go upstairs, when a man's voice suddenly came from behind her, "Never mind, no need to call."

Zhan Jingting didn't eat a single bite and immediately drove away in his wheelchair.

Qiao Wanwan slept until the afternoon before slowly waking up. She picked up her phone and saw several missed calls from Qiao Shengguo.

Qiao Wanwan didn't return the call. She got up, washed up, and went downstairs to eat something.

Before I even got back upstairs, Qiao Shengguo called again.

Qiao Wanwan took a deep breath before answering the phone, "What is it?"

"Qiao Wanwan, how dare you ask!" Qiao Shengguo cursed, "Look what you've done! You've disgraced the Qiao family! Are you trying to kill me with anger? How could I have given birth to such an unfilial daughter!"

"You've said that countless times, I'm sick of it. Can't you come up with something new?" Qiao Wanwan said calmly. "Tell me, how did Qiao Yuqi twist the truth and frame me this time?"

"Stop trying to smear Yuqi! If you were even half as sensible as her, I'd be burning incense in gratitude!" Qiao Shengguo said, exasperated. "You skipped your engagement party with Xulin because you were hooking up with another man. Do you even know how shameful that is, cheating on me?!"

"If you could hook up with someone more capable than Gu Xulin, that would be one thing, but you had to go and find a cripple. How could you be so depraved! Xulin was right to turn to Yuqi. Someone like you doesn't deserve his affection at all!"

Qiao Wanwan laughed directly, "I think I understand now. Gu Xulin and Qiao Yuqi are claiming that I cheated on them with another man first, and that's why they were forced to be together, right? They're quite clever; it's a shame they're not in public relations."
