"Hmm..." Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened, her drunkenness mixed with confusion, vivid and adorable.

With a thud, the man fell off his wheelchair, but he never left the girl's lips.

The two lay on the soft white carpet, embracing and kissing in an extremely intimate pose.

Qiao Wanwan felt her breath being gradually stolen away, her nasal cavity filled with a strange, pure male hormonal scent, domineering yet refreshing.

She wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the man pressed his advantage, and she was completely overwhelmed and surrendered.

The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she raised her hand to try to push him away, but the man grabbed her wrist and easily controlled her.

She felt like a fish on a chopping board, completely helpless and at the mercy of others.

As her breath was taken away, her already upset stomach churned even more violently. Qiao Wanwan felt she was about to give up and tried even harder to struggle.

Zhan Jingting rolled over with her in his arms, letting her lie on top of him, and continued kissing her for a while. Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, he reluctantly let go of her.

The next second, with a "whoosh," the girl vomited all over him.

Zhan Jingting's eyes darkened. "Qiao Wanwan!"

After vomiting, Qiao Wanwan rolled over and lay down, muttering to herself, "Great, I'm finally alive."

Overwhelmed by sleepiness, she closed her eyes and fell asleep instantly.

"Qiao Wanwan, wake up! Don't sleep!"

The girl on the ground remained motionless.

Zhan Jingting pinched the bridge of his nose, picked her up from the ground, and placed her on the sofa.

Just as the man closed the door and left, Qiao Wanwan suddenly opened her eyes and vomited into the trash can.

There was bottled water nearby, so she drank two bottles to sober up.

Qiao Wanwan quietly left the wine cellar, went down the stairs at the other end of the corridor, and arrived at the back garden.

It was already dark, and there was no one guarding the garden, so Qiao Wanwan tiptoed away.

Before she could even leave the garden, she heard a maid's startled cry behind her, "Miss Qiao, where are you going!"

Qiao Wanwan took off running.

"Help! Miss Qiao has run away!"

Qiao Wanwan ran forward while looking back, and several bodyguards caught up with her.

Qiao Wanwan ran to the beach, closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and jumped into the sea with a "plop".

"Quickly inform Master Zhan, Miss Qiao has jumped into the sea!"

......

Qiao Wanwan swam to the shore with all her might, and without taking a break, rushed to the hotel where she and Gu Xulin were engaged.

Inside the banquet hall, which resembled a sea of ​​flowers, there were no guests, only a couple passionately kissing, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.

Qiao Wanwan's already bleeding heart was torn open again, and the excruciating pain made her suffocate.

"Smack!"

Qiao Wanwan stepped forward and, before the two could react, slapped Qiao Yuqi across the face.

"Qiao Yuqi, have you no shame!"

Qiao Yuqi covered her face, looking like a little white flower with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"You just wrapped your legs around his waist and you're saying you didn't do it on purpose?" Qiao Wanwan trembled with anger. "Were you born a masochist? Why do you have to steal everything!"

“It’s not her fault.” Gu Xulin held Qiao Yuqi protectively in his arms. “Wanwan, it was my initiative. If you want to hit me, hit me.”

"Slap! Slap!"

Qiao Wanwan slapped him twice in return.

"You think you, as a scumbag, have gotten away with this?"

Gu Xulin took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Wanwan, things have come to this point, and it's time for us to come to an end. I'm sorry, I tried very hard to fall in love with you, but I just couldn't do it."

Amidst the ringing in her ears, Qiao Wanwan heard Gu Xulin's gentle voice, as always, "I can't lie to my own heart; the person I love has always been Yuqi."

"All along?" Qiao Wanwan looked at the gentle and refined man in front of her in disbelief. "So you two had been secretly together all along? Then why did you still date me and ask me to get engaged to you?"

She had always held onto a sliver of hope for Gu Xulin, but now, even that last hope had turned into a sharp knife, mercilessly piercing her chest.

“It was my grandfather who forced me to do this.” Gu Xulin said with a straight face, a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes. “He kept threatening me, saying that if I didn’t marry you, he wouldn’t let me be the heir to the Gu Group.”

Qiao Wanwan's mind went blank. "So all the time you were with me and treated me well was just an act! So as soon as Grandpa Gu died and you became the heir, you couldn't wait to turn your back on me, right?"

“That’s right, I’ve had enough of him pressuring me to marry you every day.” Gu Xulin’s expression gradually turned cold. “Look at you now, how can I marry a lame and ugly woman as the young mistress of the Gu family?”

"Crippled and ugly?" Qiao Wanwan wanted to maintain her last shred of dignity, but when she heard these four words, she couldn't help but burst into tears. "Gu Xulin, don't forget how I became like this."

“I know you’ve done a lot for me. You lost your leg and your face was disfigured when you saved me. Logically, I should take responsibility for you and marry you, but a lifetime is too long. I want to be with the person I love.”

Qiao Wanwan laughed directly, a bitter and desolate laugh, "Gu Xulin, all these years, I've given you my heart, I'd even give you my life, and all I got in return was your constant deception and betrayal. How blind I must have been to fall for you!"

"Wanwan, I gave you a chance, but you didn't show up for the engagement banquet tonight. Doesn't that mean we're not meant to be?"

That's because...

"Oh!" Qiao Yuqi exclaimed suddenly as soon as Qiao Wanwan opened her mouth, "Wanwan, what's that on your neck?"

Gu Xulin looked closely and saw that Qiao Wanwan's fair and beautiful swan neck, and even her shoulders, were covered with conspicuous hickeys!

Gu Xulin realized something and, without saying a word, tore off her clothes that weren't completely dry, not only from her neck but also from her shoulders!

"Qiao Wanwan, how dare you accuse me of betrayal? Tell me! Which wild man have you been fooling around with!"

Qiao Wanwan shoved him away and straightened her clothes, "None of your business!"

Gu Xulin was furious and embarrassed. "Qiao Wanwan, you are truly shameless!"

"Young Master Gu is too modest. When it comes to shamelessness, neither of you two dares to claim to be number one!"

Gu Xulin looked at her with disgust, took out a check from his pocket, and threw it at Qiao Wanwan. "This is your reward for saving me back then. From now on, we are even."

Qiao Wanwan looked down at the check that had fallen to the ground and sneered, "Five million, Young Master Gu is really generous. But you should keep this money for yourself, because what you owe me can't be repaid with money. One day, I will make you pay for everything you've done today!"

Qiao Wanwan, like a defeated peacock unwilling to admit defeat, turned and left with pride.

As soon as she stepped out of the hotel, two men who looked like bodyguards surrounded her. "Miss Qiao, Mr. Zhan invites you."
