A white T-shirt, jeans, underwear, and a man's belt were scattered across the carpet.

The room was in complete disarray.

Two bodies were entwined on the bed.

Occasionally, the man's low, rough pants could be heard.

With misty eyes from her tears, Xia Nuan Nuan bore the sharp pain as the man entered her ruthlessly from behind, burying her face in the crook of her arm.

The man's skin was a wheat color, his abdomen above was a beautiful eight-pack, and below was a sexy mermaid line. His face was always an inexpressive calm, yet uncontrollably forcibly took the woman.

After being drugged, the effect of the drug was too strong, and the man was now in a daze.

"It hurts——" Xia Nuan Nuan's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She clutched the sheets, afraid to make any more noise.

The invasion from behind didn’t stop for a single syllable.

What she got was brute torment like a raging storm, the man bit into Xia Nuan Nuan's back, continuing to thrust, almost savagely asserting his ownership, leaving her utterly exhausted.

This frenzied invasion lasted for nearly three hours. When she could no longer bear it, she was still vaguely conscious of the man's pounding underneath her.

...

When Xia Nuan Nuan woke up, it was still dark outside.

Beside her was that man, his breathing regular, rising and falling.

She hurriedly fled from the bed, nearly tripping over the work clothes scattered at the room's door. She gingerly picked them up, put on her girlfriend's waitress jacket and sneaked out.

There's an elder’s park nearby the bar.

Sitting on the park bench, Xia Nuan Nuan recalled the past three years, which felt like terrible news.

Three years ago, her boyfriend misappropriated public funds. For the sake of his bright future, Xia Nuan Nuan resolutely listened to him and served his sentence in jail.

Ye An Yi promised her, "Nuan Nuan, we'll get married as soon as you’re out of jail."

This morning, she just finished her three-year sentence.

Being disconnected from the outside world for three years, enduring humiliation and bearing grievances, all because of Ye An Yi's single promise, "We’ll marry when you’re out," stirred a multitude of emotions in her.

Returning to what used to be her home, she unexpectedly saw Ye An Yi messing around with another woman on the sofa.

Seeing her, Ye An Yi was surprised at first, and then spoke with some dissatisfaction, "Why are you here?"

This is her home, why can't she be here? Xia Nuan Nuan looked at the disheveled woman on the sofa, feeling grim and disheartened. "I was released from jail today. Have you forgotten?"

"I've been too busy lately," Ye An Yi's attitude towards her wasn’t very good.

This house was bought by her, the property deed is under Ye An Yi’s name. She served three years in jail for him, and now he says he's been too busy to remember her release date, so busy that he was messing around with another woman in this house.

This is indeed ridiculous.

That promise of "we'll marry when you're out," seemed like a joke from the past three years.

Xia Nuan Nuan pulled her mouth into a sour smile, "Have you forgotten the promise you made to me? Well, forget it. Return the house to me and get out of my house."

She has lost everything, all she asks for is a place to relax.

A mocking smile hung on Ye Anyi's lips. "Nuan Nuan, the property deed has my name on it. How did it become your home? You've just been released from prison. If you have nowhere to live, you can stay in the guest room for tonight. Your belongings are there. Go tidy up."

Three years had left nothing of Xia Nuan Nuan's prideful spirit but her basic desires for life, while Ye Anyi had become a completely different person.

Xia Nuan Nuan slapped him. "I did prison time for your sake. I was the one who bought that house. I supported your father while you were studying abroad as an exchange student. I organized his grand funeral. Just what do you take me for?"

Seemingly stung by her words, a cold glint flashed across Ye Anyi's eyes. "Nuan Nuan, the moment the court declared you guilty of embezzlement with ironclad evidence, you were a criminal. Things are different now. I took you in out of respect for our past. Don't push your luck."

Taking a deep breath, Xia Nuan Nuan gave a sidelong glance at the woman on the couch who was oblivious to the whole scenario, merrily playing with her phone and occasionally bursting into laughter.

Naively thinking she could return to the past had only led to the present situation. She had been a fool from start to finish.

"I still have direct evidence of your embezzlement, Mr. Ye. Don't push me." Xia Nuan Nuan's tone was resolute as she looked at Ye Anyi.

Ye Anyi simply smiled. "Nuan Nuan, your mother has a weak heart. She does not know you've been locked up for three years, does she? What if I tell her that her daughter has spent three years in jail? Do you think your mother could bear such heartbreak?"

Xia Nuan Nuan's breath hitched.

Having grown up in a single-parent family, her mother, Xia Feng Mei, suffered from heart disease. She was an embroidery worker in a textile factory, always hoping for better things for her daughter. The knowledge of her daughter going to jail would definitely break her heart.

"You dare..." Flush with anger, Xia Nuan Nuan raised her hand. Before it could fall on Ye Anyi's cheek, she was shoved away, hitting her head hard against the coffee table.

"I am now the general manager of Bright Group. Xia Nuan Nuan, don't be ungrateful!" Leaving those words behind, Ye Anyi drew the woman from the couch into his arms and headed for the bedroom.

The spot on her forehead where she hit the table was starting to bruise, clearly throbbing in pain. However, Xia Nuan Nuan clutched at her heart. It felt as though it was being repeatedly stabbed by a thin needle.
