"President Jiang, I've arrived. You can go back now."
Wen Shu stopped at the entrance of the residential complex where she was temporarily renting a place.
Jiang Yuanchao said, "I'll walk you downstairs, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Wen Shu couldn't refuse him, so she had to let him walk her downstairs.
"alright."
The old residential area was dimly lit, and the surroundings looked pitch black.
The two stood downstairs. Wen Shu told Jiang Yuanchao to go back, but Jiang Yuanchao remained standing.
Wen Shu asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yuanchao took her hand and said, "Wen Shu, I have something to tell you."
After a few seconds of silence, Wen Shu looked at him and said, "Go ahead."
"Wen Shu, would you like to come with me?"
Jiang Yuanchao said, "Let's leave Beicheng and find a place where there are no such people to start over, where we won't be threatened or controlled by anyone..."
Wen Shu didn't speak, so Jiang Yuanchao continued, "Wen Shu, I need you!"
Wen Shu slowly lowered her eyes and couldn't help but give a bitter smile, "President Jiang..."
“I don’t care that you have children. You can take the children with you. The children don’t have household registration. If we get married, the children’s household registration problem will be solved.”
Jiang Yuanchao held her hand tightly, refusing to let go, "Wen Shu..."
"President Jiang," Wen Shu began, "I..."
Jiang Yuanchao interrupted, "I know this decision is very important, so I'm giving you time to think it over. Once you've thought it through, then give me your answer, okay?"
Wen Shu opened her mouth, then nodded: "Okay. It's getting late, you should go home soon."
Jiang Yuanchao released her hand. "Then I'll go back first."
Wen Shu watched him leave, then turned around to take out her keys to open the door. Suddenly, she sensed someone behind her. She turned around abruptly and was pressed against the iron door of the first-floor security door.
The familiar scent filled her nostrils, and soft lips pressed tightly against hers.
In the dim light, Wen Shu's pupils contracted, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Li Duo?"
Li Duo trapped her in the doorway and in his arms, gritting his teeth as he asked, "You want to go with him?!"
After Wen Shu realized it was him, she calmed down and asked, "Why are you here? What do you want?"
Li Duo's breath hit her face. "I'm asking you a question. Are you going to go with him?"
With her back to the door, Wen Shu tried hard to see his face in the dim light. "What does this have to do with you?"
"You're connected, I will never let you go with him!"
Wen Shu scoffed, "Please let go, or I'll call for help."
Li Duo remained unmoved and said, "So what if you call someone? We've slept together many times. If anyone asks, I dare to say it!"
Wen Shu countered, "Do you remember when I told you I was forced?"
"Wen Shu, don't say things that will upset me; it won't do you any good!"
Wen Shu's mocking laughter grew louder in the darkness, "Ever since I met you, my life has never been good!"
This was true four years ago, and it remains true four years later!
This man was never someone who made her a better person.
"You became a better person after meeting Jiang Yuanchao, didn't you?" Li Duo sneered.
Wen Shu said, "President Jiang is indeed my benefactor."
"Wen Shu!" Li Duo gritted his teeth, "Are you deliberately trying to provoke me?"
Wen Shu replied, "Li Duo, you blocked my doorway, assaulted me first, and then prevented me from going home. And now you're saying I deliberately provoked you?"
"You're clearly trying to disgust me on purpose. Aren't my disgust and loathing for you obvious enough?"
She reached out and gently pushed him away from her, little by little. "Li Duo, I can roughly guess what you're thinking."
"You kept insisting that only you could dump me, and when you finally did, it was out of necessity. You thought that once you dumped me, I would come back as soon as you snapped your fingers. But you miscalculated."
“You’re not reconciled. You think a woman like me should kneel on the ground, crying and begging you to accept me. Your vanity hasn’t been satisfied, and you feel despised.”
"You're like a mangy dog, clinging on and on. You want me to give up everything for you—family, children, dignity, and so on—to prove your charm."
"Let me tell you, it's because of what you've done that I've lost all hope for love. Your existence only proves that a man like you will never find true love!"
"Just live comfortably in the false love you create with your power. Once your life collapses, everyone around you will leave you. A person like you is destined to be all alone!"
She spoke clearly, every word vicious, as if cursing him.
Wen Shu was furious.
She didn't understand why someone like Li Duo, who clearly knew everything, always treated her like a fool.
It seems that he has never known the meaning of "respect".
He seemed certain she would come back, which is why he acted so recklessly.
"I'll tell you..."
Before Wen Shu could utter her harsh words, Li Duo silenced her again.
Wen Shu had absolutely no illusions.
Her feelings for Li Duo went from initial fear to later affection, from suppressed liking to disappointment, and now to extreme disgust—all of which were created by Li Duo himself!
Their lips touched. Wen Shu closed her eyes, and suddenly the image of Li Duo kissing Lin Jingyu in the same way flashed through her mind. As the image appeared, Wen Shu suddenly vomited, "Ugh—"
Li Duo paused, then stared at her with a dark expression: "Are you really that disgusting?"
"You just found out?"
Wen Shu wiped her mouth and retorted, "Isn't it obvious enough that I find you disgusting?"
"Wen Shu!"
She said calmly, "Li Duo, I really hate you."
Li Duo felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
When she roared angrily, Li Duo could ignore it because he knew she was furious. But when she calmly said something like this, it was so powerful that he almost couldn't stand up.
Li Duo finally released her hand, lowered his head, and took a step back. "Feeling nauseous? Is it because of Jiang Yuanchao?"
Wen Shu was too lazy to say anything to him anymore. She opened the door and went into the building, and the door lock closed automatically.
She went upstairs to the second floor, the door closed, and silence fell over the surroundings. ...
Li Duo stood downstairs, exuding a chilling aura, and only left after a long while.
At 12:30 a.m., Wen Shu suddenly received a call from the hospital while she was asleep.
Wen Shu fumbled for the phone in the dark and answered, "Hello?"
"Hello? Is this Wen Shu? This is Beicheng First People's Hospital. Do you know Jiang Yuanchao?"
Wen Shu was taken aback. A hospital?
Why would someone from the hospital call her using Jiang Yuanchao's phone number?
"I know him, so what?"
"Jiang Yuanchao was in a car accident and is currently being treated at our hospital. What are you to him? Are you his girlfriend? You need to come to the hospital right away; he's badly injured and might not make it!"
