Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

"You speak as if there's something between her and me. She's my brother's crush."

Su Qing had clearly seen through everything a long time ago, but Zhou Yuwen simply refused to admit it. As the phone kept ringing incessantly, Zhou Yuwen, without a second thought, directly hit reject, then turned off the phone.

This might seem a bit unfair to Lu Wanting, but from the time Lu Wanting got involved with Zhou Yuwen, she should've realized this. To be honest, a large part of why Zhou Yuwen was with Lu Wanting at that time wasn't it because he hoped Lu Wanting would remain abroad as his proxy? Moreover, wasn't Lu Wanting willing to follow Zhou Yuwen because she needed material security?

Both sides were well aware of the situation, so what's up with calling me now?

Looking for emotional value?

Come on, we're not even in a relationship.

At least in front of Su Qing, Zhou Yuwen had to distinguish the priority.

Zhou Yuwen tossed the phone aside and got back into bed, hugging Su Qing again, his hand naturally slid inside Su Qing's long dress. Seeing Zhou Yuwen so decisive, Su Qing couldn't help but smile slightly, saying, "Treating others like this, aren't you afraid they'll get mad?"

"Stop complaining. Am I not here focusing on you? Taking advantage and being cheeky!"

Zhou Yuwen wasn't particularly gentle with Su Qing either. He flipped her over, then lifted her dress revealing half her butt. Between old couples, there's no need for complications; going straight to the point is better. If Su Qing weren't feeling it, Zhou Yuwen could fill the gap with his fingers. Initially, Su Qing felt somewhat displeased with Zhou Yuwen's attitude, pouting slightly, but soon she began to moan softly.

Over at the newly purchased villa, Lu Wanting held back for a long time before calling Zhou Yuwen, only to find out after the phone rang endlessly that on the other end, it said, "Hello, the phone you dialed is out of service area."

This made Lu Wanting furious and she couldn't help but feel a bit aggrieved.

What exactly does Zhou Yuwen mean by this?

Though Lu Wanting was aware Zhou Yuwen had other women, and thought she could accept it, she had been brainwashed not only by her family but also by Zhu Hong. She mentally agreed that she would rather be one among the strong than live a mediocre life.

Sure, that's how the words go, but it was Zhou Yuwen who said in bed that she smells good...

And claimed he likes her the most.

How come, just one day later, Zhou Yuwen doesn't even care to acknowledge her?

Isn't this a bit of bullying?

Lu Wanting drank sullenly alone in the grand villa.

Her outfit was a bit mature, with a sleeveless silk blouse paired with a coffee-colored pencil skirt, and her long legs stepped into high heels.

Since becoming Zhou Yuwen's woman, Lu Wanting's style had changed significantly, mostly tailored to please Zhou Yuwen.

She sat on the sofa, waiting gloomily for Zhou Yuwen to return, from five o'clock in the afternoon until ten at night. Looking at the time, Lu Wanting mused that Zhou Yuwen should have been back by now.

But it was almost eleven and Zhou Yuwen hadn't even bothered to contact her?

In fact, before she even called him, Lu Wanting had sent Zhou Yuwen a few texts, essentially asking how much longer until he would return?

"Are you not planning on coming back tonight?"

"Are you just leaving me unattended?"

"I miss you..."

At the time, Zhou Yuwen was having dinner and saw the messages but chose not to respond, feeling that Lu Wanting was overstepping boundaries, something even Su Qing wouldn't dare to say to him.

How long until he returns?

This is the tone of a wife asking her husband.

But was Lu Wanting even that?

Hence, Zhou Yuwen deliberately ignored Lu Wanting's call, needing her to understand herself correctly.

However, the more Zhou Yuwen ignored the calls, the more aggrieved Lu Wanting felt, almost to tears. She regretted getting involved with Zhou Yuwen, feeling that he didn't actually like her.

Then why sleep with her if he doesn't like her?

Was it purely a physical desire?

He's definitely with Su Qing now.

The image of Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing intertwined flashed through her mind, making Lu Wanting inexplicably irritable. She couldn't help but bite her lower lip and down the red wine from the coffee table in one go.

Tonight, Zhou Yuwen and Su Qing were like newlyweds after a short separation. From past lives to the present, calculating it, it's about ten years, yet their relationship remained harmonious.

As the night passed, Su Qing felt revitalized, her face becoming more fine and radiant, when the morning sun shone in.

Zhou Yuwen was still sound asleep in bed.

But Su Qing had class in the morning and needed to get up early.

She climbed out from under the covers, sunlight spilling onto her fair skin, her hands reaching back to deftly fasten her bra. Looking at Zhou Yuwen's carefree and relaxed figure, remembering how he tortured her beyond recognition last night, Su Qing, without reason, felt a burst of anger, biting her teeth said, "Bastard! Why is it that both have reincarnated, yet you keep getting stronger?"

Zhou Yuwen chuckled lightly, saying, "You're saying it."

"I'm getting stronger, but aren't you getting more tender?"

As he spoke, Zhou Yuwen reached out and pinched Su Qing's butt crack.

Su Qing understood what Zhou Yuwen meant, but still felt defiant, giving a small snort.
