Qiao City.
At the entrance of the presidential suite on the top floor of the Cloud Court Hotel.
Jiang Li silently stood at the door, finally waiting for the romantic affairs within the room to end.
An hour ago, she received a text message from Qin Qi.
Thanks to Qin Qi's "kind reminder", Jiang Li was able to witness the adult-rated spectacle: her husband, who had disappeared for a while, and her "good friend" stripped bare, performing a lurid showcase.
The room was messy, clothing of two strewn haphazardly. Jiang Li stood at the door, her hand clutching the mobile phone, squeezing and then releasing. Taking a deep breath, she walked into the room.
The relationship between her husband, Mu Xingke, and Qin Qi was not something of a day or two.
Jiang Li couldn’t remember how many times over the years she had seen the two of them, naked and entwined with each other.
Neither could she remember how many times she had hurried home from work to clean up after their affair.
Having witnessed so much had left her heart, although as tough as flesh, numb with hurt.
Facing her, Qin Qi buttoned his shirt one by one.
Mu Xingke simply disregarded her presence and got up to go to the bathroom.
"Jiang Li, you're here, I have something to do, so you continue to accompany Xingke," Qin Qi said cheerfully, in the manner of a mistress. "Didn't you bring breakfast for Ke? He was up all night, he needs to replenish some energy."
The words burrowed into her ears. Jiang Li’s fists clenched, a wry smile forming at the corners of her mouth.
She remained silent, quietly standing in the middle of the room waiting for Qin Qi to leave.
The arrogant woman passed by her, revealing the numerous red marks on her tender and white breasts.
Flaunting intentionally.
Jiang Li's eyes were fixed on those crimson marks, her heart burning.
"You know, Akko has never known how to moderate. He did it several times last night, I don’t know when these marks will disappear..." Qin Qi noticed the displeasure in Jiang Li's eyes, she explained generously, with a bashful smile on her lips.
Jiang Li laughed mockingly, turned around, pointed at the wall, and said to Qin Qi in a low voice, "Miss Qin, didn't my husband remind you that you should lie upside down in time after finishing? This will maximize your chances of carrying a child of the Mu family."
"If Miss Qin can't get pregnant in time, I have other suitable ladies I could introduce to my husband." Jiang Li stared at Qin Qi, saying as she began to laugh.
But beneath that laugh was a heart crushed to pieces.
However, Qin Qi simply scoffed at her, "Jiang Li, you can't even keep your own child, and you still have the nerve to meddle with others? Do you really think I'll obey you, have a child and call you mom? In your dreams!!!"
With that said, she shoved Jiang Li aside, strutted her long legs, and left the room.
As soon as Qin Qi left, Mu Xing Akko emerged from the bathroom.
Absent for a few days, he was still handsome and gentle.
Seeing Jiang Li in the room, he walked expressionlessly to the table and poured himself a glass of red wine.
Jiang Li closed the door and took a step forward.
Mu Xing Akko put down the wine glass, his gaze coldly glanced over, his lips tightly compressed. A brief irritation passed over his eyes before he turned to look out the window.
Just like every previous time, Jiang Li walked from the bedside to the closet, picking out her husband's wardrobe for the week.
Suddenly, she saw several used contraceptives on the ground, still containing some white fluid.
Her eyes widened abruptly, "Principal Ke, didn't you want a child? Why are you still using these?"
No wonder Qin Qi had been with Mu Xing Ke for so many years without getting pregnant!
At this point, Mu Xing Ke furiously threw his wine glass in disgust.
"Smash!”
The wine glass shattered in front of her, narrowly missing her head.
Jiang Li jumped in fright. In no time, a naked Mu Xing Ke was in front of her, grabbing at her collar and pushing her against the wall. "The task of bearing a child is Qin Qi’s. What's it to you? I am not done playing around, Jiang Li. You may wish to escape this hell soon, but our journey is still long!"
"Don't forget, all this is your own doing!"
"Your own doing..."
Jiang Li shivered violently, her face becoming even paler.
That was right.
It was all her own doing. She had been raped on a cruise during her graduation trip three years ago and had afterwards given birth to a child.
Jiang Li didn’t even know whether the child was a boy or a girl, nor whether he or she was dead or alive now.
As soon as the child was born, Mu Xing Ke had taken him/her away and given the baby away. Not only that, but he had also forced her to sign an agreement that allowed him to have a child with another woman during their marriage.
She would have to raise the child as soon as it was born, and he would forgive Jiang Li for her "disgrace" in the past.
Three years have passed, with no forgiveness, only Muxing Ke's increasingly brutal vengeance!
In the silence of the room, after a moment, a text message rings from Jiang Li's bag on her cellphone.
Muxing Ke promptly casts her onto the ground, turning around to enter the changing room.
Jiang Li struggles to her feet, opens her cellphone. It's a message from the hospital, notifying her of an urgent assignment.
As she turns to leave, Muxing Ke abruptly stops her.
She turns around, a set of underwear is tossed onto her face.
"If you're going, take Xiao Qi's clothes to her."
The pale purple lace trimming, it's clear they're used undergarments.
A bitter smile spreads across Jiang Li's lips, she crumples up the clothing items and stuffs them into her bag, fiercely slamming the door shut.
