She clenched her fists tightly, using the last bit of strength to maintain her dignity.
After leaving a single sentence, he hurriedly departed amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.
However, she did not notice the smug look that flashed in Wen Zhi's eyes as she watched her panicked back.
As night fell, Li Ruo returned home feeling utterly lost and dejected, like a walking corpse.
Perhaps she was thinking about something, because she almost fell while going upstairs, but luckily the housekeeper, who was just about to call her for dinner, caught her.
Li Ruo snapped out of her daze and quickly said, "Thank you."
But the housekeeper noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern, "Miss Li, are you feeling unwell today? You seem absent-minded."
Li Ruo didn't speak, but her face looked extremely pale.
Seeing this, the housekeeper thought she was really sick and said anxiously, "Oh dear, Miss Li, do you have a cold? I'll go get you some medicine right away."
As she was about to leave, Li Ruo called out to her, "No need, I'm not sick, I'm just in a bad mood."
Hearing this, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that he's not sick."
But then she remembered something and quickly said, "Oh right, I made your favorite fish soup tonight. Go and try it, maybe it will cheer you up!"
Li Ruo simply shook her head gently, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "I won't drink it anymore. If I keep drinking it, I'm afraid I'll get addicted. Some things, if they're not meant to be yours, you can't force them. Rather than not being able to drink this fish soup in the future, it's better to start quitting now. You should leave the fish soup for the future mistress of this place."
Hearing her sudden words, the housekeeper was a little puzzled: "Oh, what future mistress? Aren't you one? Miss Li can just tell me whenever she wants a drink. How could she not have one in the future?"
But Li Ruo didn't give her an answer. After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs.
Little did they know that these words were overheard by Wen Huaiyan, who had just returned.
Watching Li Ruo's retreating figure, his heart skipped a beat.
What did she mean by what she just said? Was she planning to leave him?
Thinking of the male voice he heard on the phone last night, Wen Huaiyan felt inexplicably irritated.
Could it be because of that man that Li Ruo had the idea of leaving?
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. That night, Wen Huaiyan launched a fierce attack on Li Ruo in a fit of rage, as if he wanted to meld her into his own body. His movements were extremely violent.
Li Ruo was exhausted, and just as she was about to fall asleep from exhaustion, the man on top of her invaded her again.
After several attempts, Li Ruo finally lost her temper and whispered, "Are you ever going to stop?"
"Beg me."
In the darkness, the man's eyes flickered: "Beg me, and I'll let you go."
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo's face instantly darkened.
He's the one who went on dates with other women, but it sounds like she's the one who did something wrong.
Thinking of this, Li Ruo turned her head to one side with some resentment.
Even though Wen Huaiyan's actions became increasingly violent, she refused to beg for mercy.
After several rounds, Li Ruo was completely exhausted.
She only breathed a sigh of relief after Wen Huaiyan completely got off her.
It's finally over!
As was his usual practice, Wen Huaiyan would definitely carry her to the bathroom afterwards.
But today, he walked into the bathroom without looking back.
Even closing the bathroom door felt unusually heavy.
Li Ruo couldn't help but give a wry smile.
Sure enough, once a new love is found, the old one is forgotten.
Now, in this man's eyes, she means nothing.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. Li Ruo couldn't help but take a deep breath, silently get out of bed, and lie down on the sofa not far away.
They are no longer worthy of the phrase "sharing a bed".
After Wen Huaiyan came out of the bathroom, he wanted to call Li Ruo to take a shower.
But when he looked up, he saw the woman lying on the sofa.
Is this a way of keeping your distance from him?
Very good!
Wen Huaiyan gave a cold laugh, said nothing more, and went straight to bed.
On the other end.
Ever since being threatened by Wen Zhi and given Li Ruo's warning, Li Rao has been living in constant fear.
After all, her being pregnant out of wedlock is hardly something to be proud of.
After much deliberation, Li Rao decided she couldn't just sit and wait for her fate, so she took advantage of the night to find Wen Changfeng.
At this moment, Wen Changfeng was drinking heavily with his cronies in a private room at a bar, surrounded by beautiful women, having a wonderful time.
Li Rao's sudden visit caused his face to darken instantly.
What brings you here?
Li Rao glanced at the scantily clad women in the private room, then looked at Wen Changfeng in disbelief: "Brother Changfeng, what's going on? Why are you being so intimate with them?"
Something seemed off about what she was saying, and the people in the private room couldn't help but turn their gazes to Li Rao: "Who is she?"
Fearing that someone might actually recognize Li Rao, Wen Changfeng hurriedly stood up, pushing her towards the door while turning back and blurting out, "She's a distant cousin of mine who came to borrow money from me. I'll take her outside to talk."
Once outside the room, he shoved Li Rao into the next private room: "What exactly do you want?"
