Jiang Ye put down the documents in his hand, looked up at the two of them, and said calmly, "What is it?"

"You were with Tian...Mu Tiantian last night?" Before Chu Hao could even utter the word "Tiantian," Jiang Ye's expression turned sour, so Chu Hao had to change his address, using her full name.

Jiang Ye replied, "Yes."

Chu Hao pursed his lips, his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. If Chu Ran hadn't told him that Tian Tian had called him using Jiang Ye's phone at 2 a.m., he wouldn't have believed it.

Chu Ran could also hear the sound of water running in the bathroom.

He thought Jiang Ye chased after Tian Tian last night to settle scores, and that the two would have a big fight and part on bad terms. But he never expected that the two would end up spending the whole night together!

"Jiang Ye, what exactly are you thinking?" Mu Chen asked seriously.

"Is there anything wrong with me keeping my enemy by my side and torturing her properly?" Jiang Ye curled his lips into a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

Chu Hao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but then stopped himself.

Just then, Jiang Ye's phone rang.

"Aunt Wang."

"Young Master, Miss Mu wants to go out to the pharmacy to buy painkillers."

"Is she feeling unwell?" Jiang Ye asked, somewhat worried that his roughness last night might have caused her health problems.

Mu Tiantian's legs were still a little weak, but upon hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, she quickly said, "I just wanted to stock up, because I might need some in a few days..."

Before Mu Tiantian could finish speaking, Aunt Wang, understanding the implication, said to Jiang Ye, "Girls have those few days every month."

Jiang Ye understood. "I'll take it back to her."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tiantian quickly said, "I can go by myself. I also want to go to the supermarket to buy some things."

Jiang Ye paused after hearing this, then said, "Aunt Wang, go with her. Call me if anything happens."

"Okay."

Aunt Wang hung up the phone and looked at Mu Tiantian, whose body was covered in marks of lovemaking, and asked, "Are you going out like this?"

Mu Tiantian glanced at herself; the battle last night had been quite fierce.

She smiled shyly, "Aunt Wang, could you please find me some clothes?"

"If you don't mind, wear mine for now." Although Aunt Wang's attitude wasn't great, she was still quite nice to her, cooking for her and not making things difficult for her.

Wearing Aunt Wang's clothes, Mu Tiantian didn't look old-fashioned at all; instead, she looked very casual.

Aunt Wang couldn't help but sigh to herself, "Good-looking people look good in anything."

After Mu Tiantian left, Aunt Wang followed her as Jiang Ye had instructed, and Mu Tiantian didn't think much of it.

When she arrived at the pharmacy, she looked at Aunt Wang somewhat embarrassedly and asked, "Aunt Wang, could you please go to the supermarket next door and buy me a few packs of sanitary napkins?"

Aunt Wang said, "Let me buy you some painkillers first."

"Can you lend me some money? I can buy it myself." Mu Tiantian smiled sweetly.

Aunt Wang couldn't bear to refuse and gave her several hundred yuan in cash. Since she wasn't used to mobile payments, her family would keep cash on hand for her.

"I wouldn't say I need to borrow it. This is what the young master left for you. Buy whatever you want. Wait for me here after you buy the medicine," Aunt Wang instructed.

Mu Tiantian replied, "Okay."

After Aunt Wang went into the supermarket next door, Mu Tiantian went into the pharmacy.

"Give me two bottles of birth control pills and two bottles of painkillers."

The shop assistant took out the medicine according to Mu Tiantian's instructions, "It'll be one hundred in total."

After giving her the money, Mu Tiantian opened the birth control pills and took two pills.

System: [What are you doing? If you get pregnant, Jiang Ye's hatred might drop even faster.]

Mu Tiantian: [I don't want our child to be born while he still hates me, so to be on the safe side, let's wait until his hatred level is completely gone.]

Qi Tong sighed and said nothing more.

After finishing her medicine, Mu Tiantian hid the bottle in a place on her person where it wouldn't be easily noticed, and then said to the shop assistant, "Sister, if anyone asks, can you just say I only bought painkillers?"

She was afraid that Aunt Wang would come in and ask questions.

Seeing that the girl was cute and sweet, and had a sweet voice, the shop assistant readily agreed, and also kindly advised, "Girl, taking too many birth control pills is not good. If your boyfriend doesn't want to take responsibility and doesn't want to use condoms, you should break up with him as soon as possible."

Mu Tiantian just smiled, took the medicine, and walked out.

I bumped into an acquaintance as soon as I stepped out the door. She had slightly curly flaxen hair and an obsidian-like earring on her left ear that gleamed in the sunlight.

Chu Hao was worried when he heard that Jiang Ye had come to the pharmacy, so he ignored his warning and came looking for her.

"Chu Hao, you... why are you here?" Mu Tiantian recalled what she had said to him back then, and felt somewhat ashamed to face him.

Back then, Chu Hao treated her very well. Whenever something good happened, she was the first person he thought of. She knew he had feelings for her, so she always kept her distance from him and told him how much she loved Jiang Ye, rejecting his feelings openly and secretly.

However, when she left, she said many hurtful things to him.

"Let me tell you the truth, Chu Hao, I am that kind of vicious person. I'll do anything for money. Do you think I don't know you've always liked me? Of course I know, but unfortunately you don't deserve it. You don't even deserve to be my backup plan. Good friend? You're no longer of any use to me, so what's the point of talking about being good friends?"

Mu Tiantian wanted to disappear into the ground when she thought about what she had said.

She wasn't sincere when she said those things!

Chu Hao is Chu Ran's older brother, and she has always treated him as such. In her heart, he is the same as Mu Chen.

I don't know if he can believe me.

Chu Hao looked at Mu Tiantian, who was wearing long sleeves and a silk scarf, and felt a mix of emotions.

Faint red and purple marks were visible beneath the silk scarf.

The words she said to him before she left back then seem like they were just yesterday.

After a long silence, Chu Hao spoke, "Why did you come back?"

Mu Tiantian: "Because I miss Aye."

During the two years she disappeared, Chu Hao thought he had become indifferent to her, but when she expressed her love for Jiang Ye, he still felt sad.

"Why did you do those things two years ago? Did you really not know that the equity transfer agreement was invalid?" Chu Hao questioned.

Mu Tiantian repeated what she had said to Chu Ran to Chu Hao.

As for the share transfer agreement, Mu Tiantian couldn't tell the truth, so she could only evade the question, "I didn't know that the share transfer agreement was invalid. I must have been out of my mind to do that and say those things to you, Chu Hao. I'm sorry."

Mu Tiantian changed the subject, but her apology was sincere, after all, she had said some really harsh things when she left back then.

Chu Hao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

System: [Chu Hao's rage value decreased by 20, currently at 30.]

As soon as Qi Tong finished speaking, Chu Hao asked with concern, "You were with A Ye last night, did he...did he hurt you?"

Chu Hao recalled Jiang Ye's previous words about torturing Mu Tiantian, and felt very worried.

"No, A-Ye is very good to me." Mu Tiantian smiled, looking very happy.

Just then, Aunt Wang came out of the supermarket next door and overheard Chu Hao's concern. Remembering Jiang Ye's instructions, she called Jiang Ye.

She told Jiang Ye everything she had seen and heard.
