Chapter 46: The innocent girl
-
Wen Yining's face turned pale, and her movements gradually stiffened. A feeling of unease washed over her, as if her privacy had been stripped bare without reservation...
………
His eyes were devoid of warmth; in the sweltering heat of forty degrees Celsius in the height of summer, his senses were almost numb, and cold sweat was still dripping down his back.
She didn't even notice when her roommate came in. Dai Anning, with an ice pop in her mouth, was munching and complaining about encountering an idiot, unleashing a torrent of vulgar language.
She pulled out a chair, crossed her legs, and rested for a while. Seeing that Wen Yining hadn't replied for a long time, she turned her head and noticed that her expression was off. Curious, she asked, "What's wrong? What happened...?"
He got up and went to her bedside, wanting to see what was printed on the pile of papers. "Why does the background look so much like a WeChat page? Is it some kind of document?"
Wen Yining snapped out of her reverie, quickly put the chat log back to her mind, and reacted swiftly, "It's the chat log I printed out."
"With whom, Chen Jiabai?"
It's normal for couples to keep this.
"Um."
Wen Yining didn't explain. She turned the boxes upside down on the table, stacked them all together, and then put them back into the box.
There was also a box containing a pair of high heels, worth over seven thousand.
It was a pair she had wanted to buy before, but she thought they were too expensive and she wouldn't wear them often, so she didn't buy them.
Why pretend to be a good person?
Did he think that buying her a pair of shoes would make up for it?
This is a matter of privacy...
And it was from six months ago; nobody has seen it.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Jiabai will never have the chance to meet him in his lifetime.
Dai Anning brought her an ice cream and threw it on her desk, assuming she was just tired from training and didn't think much of it. "It's really hot today, be careful not to get heatstroke."
"By the way, the supplements you brought back last week are quite effective. I drank one of those red ginseng pills and felt non-drowsy all day. The blood-replenishing effect is particularly good."
Shen Yueze bought those for her; besides those for replenishing blood, there were also those for preventing heatstroke.
She hummed in agreement, said nothing more, only remembering that the red ginseng drink didn't taste good, her mind was on the chat history.
-
I quickly left the dormitory, went to the rooftop, took out my phone from my pocket, and called him. The dial tone felt like an eternity.
I was so upset by what I heard that my chest heaved, my emotions were racing, and I couldn't calm down or stay composed.
The unspeakable secret, the feeling of impending exposure, the anger and frustration all stuck in my chest, a deep resentment simmering within me.
At first, he flirted with her openly and subtly, testing her. She verbally rejected him, but she wasn't repulsed by him. After all, as long as Chen Jiabai didn't find out, it was fine.
But this is different; it's clearly an attempt to destroy the stable relationship she's worked so hard to achieve…
She thought he liked excitement and new experiences, so she didn't pester him and he went to play with other girls after a while.
Unexpectedly... this brought up old stories...
...
I paced back and forth on the balcony, waiting for him to answer, my whole being radiating intense unease.
A familiar female voice came through.
It was as if he was deliberately going against her; he wouldn't answer.
Then she continued dialing…
With her other hand propped up on the edge that was about half a person's height, the lively sounds of the crowd downstairs kept reaching her ears, but they were very muffled. The "thump-thump" sound overlapped with the frequency of her heartbeat, vibrating her eardrums, and she couldn't help but curse at him.
Another ten seconds or so passed before the other end slowly answered, the voice unhurried and casual: "Wen Yining, how far have you and Feng Yan progressed?"
"How come your chat is so explicit? I've only seen ten pictures, tsk..."
He paused deliberately, then said, "I just couldn't stand it anymore. You're even more promiscuous than I imagined."
She was furious and embarrassed: "How can you be so shameless? Just because I don't agree to sleep with you, you're resorting to this method to ruin our relationship?!"
He continued, "So, how far have things progressed in your relationship?"
"What does it have to do with you!"
"It depends on whether I send it to Chen Jiabai, how much I send, and what amount it is."
She asked, puzzled, "Where did you get that?"
He gave an irrelevant answer, "Three months ago, you and Chen Jiabai confirmed your relationship, right? You were even talking to Feng Yan. He advised you to go back with him after graduation, find a stable job, and not enter the entertainment industry. He said that the industry is too chaotic and you can't go far without connections."
As he spoke, she recalled the details; her memory wasn't that bad.
That did happen, but at that time Feng Yan knew she had a boyfriend, so he felt there was still a chance.
After she got together with Chen Jiabai, Feng Yan, seemingly out of spite, had a one-night stand with a girl he had only known for three days.
"Feng Yan has a girlfriend now, and he doesn't like me anymore."
He interrupted her and continued reciting the contents of the paper, his tone slow and frivolous, "He said his parents also think you're pretty and will definitely treat you well in the future. A stable life is better than anything else. If you had agreed, wouldn't you two have already gotten your marriage certificate by now?"
"Last time at the amusement park, you acted like a complete stranger, afraid I'd run into you, right?"
"However, I thought he was just flirting with you and trying to be nice to you."
"After seeing your disgusting flirting, I finally understand that you two are still hung up on each other. You've even planned to go back to his hometown after graduation, right?"
"Is this still the innocent, naive girl that Chen Jiabai described as knowing nothing?"
“…”
Wen Yining's expression changed repeatedly as he relentlessly exposed her past, a growing resentment rising in her chest, yet she was unable to refute him.
Every word is true, and there is even evidence to back it up.
She thought she had hidden it well, that there was no fault with it. These days, how many guys would actually go through their girlfriend's phone so thoroughly?
Yes, she did have some, but she already deleted them.
Furthermore, they didn't completely erase the information, as that would actually raise more suspicion. They only selectively deleted the flirtatious messages from six months ago.
I only kept the ones from the most recent three months.
Chen Jiabai would definitely mind; any normal man would mind. But if he couldn't see or hear about it, then so be it.
It's like, if she doesn't know whether Chen Jiabai has cheated on her, then it doesn't matter whether he has slept with other women or how many backup men he has on his phone.
But after the pool party incident, whenever Chen Jiabai didn't reply to her, or said he was busy at the company at midnight,
She would overthink, have wild imaginations, and be constantly suspicious, using her rich and sensitive sixth sense to imagine the scene—
Is he in another girl's bed at this time?
{The moment suspicion arises, the guilt is already established.}1
Once there's a first time, there will be countless second times.
She wouldn't check his phone, and correspondingly, Chen Jiabai hadn't looked through hers either.
But when they go out for meals or sightseeing, she will place her phone between them without any hesitation.
The phone would ring every now and then, but she wouldn't rush to check the message, nor would she cover it with her hand.
If Chen Jiabai happens to see it, he will glance at it without any ripples.
This approach resulted in her having a high level of trust with Chen Jiabai.
I never imagined that the innocent image I had carefully cultivated and maintained would be exposed little by little by that bastard Shen Yueze…
...
Discovering one lie means there are many more; this is often the case in romantic relationships.
...
Wen Yining was almost furious but had to hold back from directly cursing him, "What is your purpose?"
"you."
"What do you want to do?"
He replied quite bluntly, "You."
Wen Yining held back for a moment, then retorted accusingly in a harsh tone, "Is there a difference?"
"It would be even harder for Chen Jiabai to accept that I slept with you, right? Then send it to him, send it to him right now, make sure he sees every single one."
He was quite patient, and slowly asked, "Are you sure this won't affect your future relationship?"
“I’m a man, I understand men’s thoughts. Even if he says he doesn’t care, one day in the future, he will explode over a small conflict.”
"You'll never be able to go back to the point where he trusted you the most. Will your married life still be so smooth sailing?"
"But if you come to me, he won't know. Consider it your last act of indulgence."
The final indulgence...
She immediately retorted sarcastically, "Do you think I'd believe you?
"You have no choice at this point."
“…….”
"It's your past that's to blame, not mine. I went to see you last week and was willing to offer to spend money to help you debut and get you into the top three. Why didn't you choose that?"
"Once you miss out, it won't be such a good deal anymore."
"..."
"I'm even curious how many more secrets you have on your phone, and if there are any more...."
She interrupted sharply: "No, only Feng Yan."
"Don't overreact, I haven't even checked yet."
Shen Yueze was leaning back lazily in his chair, muting the video conference. Shen Zongjun called his name a few times, but he didn't respond.
She said lazily, "The day we went to the midnight movie, I also mentioned breaking up with him and being with me. I was more generous than him, but what happened? When I spoke to him nicely, you pretended not to hear me."
She frowned, trying to recall; there seemed to be such a thing, but he wouldn't marry her.
It's even less likely that they'll develop a stable and proper romantic relationship; their intentions are purely sexual.
She must be out of her mind to break up with Chen Jiabai so immediately.
She felt exhausted; she was hardly a match for him, neither as vulgar nor as shameless.
He's shameless and has no sense of shame whatsoever; he's not afraid of being discovered by his best friend.
My body was tense, my breathing was erratic, and there was a constant tension in my mind. My mouth was dry, my heart was racing, and a fine layer of cold sweat broke out on my back. I cleared my throat and squatted down on the steps.
The ground was scorching hot, and the thin fabric of my casual pants made my buttocks feel burning when I sat on them. But I couldn't care less; I was exhausted both physically and mentally, and my mind was completely captivated by that jerk on the other end of my phone.
She hesitated, "Are you sure you don't want Chen Jiabai to know?"
"Okay, come to my house tonight at 10 p.m. If you're even a minute late, I'll send him one."
She didn't say anything.
"How many of your classmates go to hotel rooms?"
"not much."
She added, "I don't know."
Yes, there are. There are a lot of handsome men and beautiful women, so it's easy for them to hit it off.
Shen Yueze slowly lit a cigarette, holding it between two fingers, and glanced indifferently at the stack of printed pages. He hadn't finished reading them yet; there were three hundred pages, and he wouldn't be able to finish them in a short time.
Feng Yan said that every weekend, the hotels near the school are fully booked by young couples, and there are no empty rooms left. He didn't say which school it was, but it's the same in many places.
Before she hung up the phone, she kept cursing him in her heart.
He continued to make demands, "By the way, don't wear anything underneath, come in without a bra."

Secret Love Comes True｜Stealing Love｜Bad Guys' True Heart｜Main City
Badass x Sexy and alluring
When Ying Shiyu was a student, she had a crush on Chen Zehuai for many years. He was handsome, rich, had good grades, and was well-educated. He was the salvation of her girlhood.
She thought he was a kind-hearted young man, but she had no idea how evil he was at heart.
After graduation, the two gradually developed a relationship where they met at night.
He asked her, "How much pocket money do you want per month?"
She paused for a moment, then said a number.
I know in my heart that he is only willing to pay money and is too lazy to get involved in emotional matters.
And so she began living the life he supported, receiving a sum of money every month, spending the night at his apartment regularly, and accompanying him out for walks when he was in a bad mood.
On the day they separated, she didn't cry and he didn't try to keep her.
He gave her a breakup fee with a cold expression and a serious tone, "If you encounter any problems in the future, don't handle them by yourself, call Uncle Zhong."
She knew they would never be in contact again.
-
The year they reunited, she started a new life, got engaged to her boyfriend, bought a house, took wedding photos, and wore a diamond ring on her ring finger.
No one mentions the rebellious boy she had a crush on in her teenage years anymore; those days are buried deep in her heart.
She thought he had married and had children abroad, or continued to live a dissolute life of luxury, and they would never meet in this life.
Just at this time, there was a problem with the project I was working on, which was related to him, so we had to meet.
He simply asked, "When are you planning to get married?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"You're not inviting me? I was your benefactor back then, after all."
"..."
In front of his fiancé, he pretended to be her brother.
She was given a sum of money as a dowry, which was more than the bride price.
-
Ying Shiyu was in constant fear, afraid that he would do something to destroy her marriage. She could no longer tolerate it. "Are you doing this on purpose? Who would care about your money? You pervert, people like you will never be happy in your life—"
He smoked calmly and said playfully, "Does he know what the tattoo on your waist means? Has he seen any other parts of your body?"
-
On the wedding day, Ying Shiyu disappeared and no one could contact her.
Chen Zehuai took her on a plane and appeared in another city. The gorgeous wedding dress was burned by him.
