Lu Anran had calmed down at this time. She held her breath and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the handkerchief soaked in chloroform. She found her phone at the door of the utility room and dragged Cheng Zhi away without saying a word.

She had her own considerations. First of all, this conflict didn’t cause substantial harm to her. Even though it was sexual harassment, she couldn’t produce evidence at all. On the contrary, Cheng Zhi beat him until he was bruised, so his responsibility was greater.

The dean was notoriously protective, and social relationships were complicated. If things get blown up, probably not only would the culprit not be punished, but she might even lose her job.

However, she wouldn’t just let it go.

Ever since being caught in the act that day, Cheng Zhi had been brooding for two days before mustering the courage to come to Lu Anran, but she had been working overtime.

He waited downstairs in her dormitory for several hours. He got impatient, so he wanted to go to the emergency room to look for her. Then as soon as he entered the passage, he saw her being dragged into the utility room.

Cheng Zhi was livid and insisted on calling the police. Lu Anran grabbed his phone and explained to him, “That Director Huang is a rascal. He won’t admit it. Calling the police now will only embarrass me. I could even lose my job. What will happen to my dad then?”

Cheng Zhi blurted out, “Worst case scenario, I will support you and your dad.”

Lu Anran sneered, “Will you rely on the money you earned from selling your body to those old women? Sorry, but I can’t afford it.”

She spoke mercilessly, and Cheng Zhi blushed, then said embarrassedly, “Anran, I know that you’re angry. It’s all my fault, so you can beat me and scold me… As long as you’re willing to forgive me, I promise that from now on, I won’t look at other women ever again.”

“Let’s go out first. After all, this wasn’t a place to talk.”

“Alright, as long as you’re willing to forgive me, I will do whatever you want me to.” Cheng Zhi held her arm and went on, “I called you, but you won’t answer my calls or messages. You don’t know how scared I was that you really didn’t care about me anymore.”

Lu Anran glanced at him with an unsure expression on her face. Cheng Zhi was good-looking, had a stable job, and was very attentive to her and her father. Originally, she thought it might be good to lead an ordinary and boring life with this person.

But as soon as Gu Liangchen appeared, everything became pointless.

She couldn’t have her feet in two boats, and even if she didn’t encounter that incident that night, she couldn’t continue with him. Now, she didn’t have to rack her brains to make up excuses.

Outside of the passage, her dormitory was right across the street. Lu Anran didn’t go any further. She stood face-to-face with Cheng Zhi and said matter-of-factly, “It’s useless to talk more about it now. I can’t forgive mistakes concerning moral principles. Cheng Zhi, let’s break up amicably.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Cheng Zhi to answer. She turned around and walked to the intersection to wait for the go signal. At this time, the phone that she had been holding in her hand buzzed. She looked at the name on the screen and hesitated for two seconds before picking it up.

“‘Break up’ is only two words. Why did it take so long?” The man’s tone was unhappy and annoyed.

She raised her head, and, at a glance, she saw a black Bentley parked across the street. The colorful lights of the barbecue stand reflected the number on the license plate.

Without waiting for her to answer, Cheng Zhi followed after her and knelt in front of her. He begged for her forgiveness and refused to break up. They began to attract attention from passersby.

Holding the phone, Lu Anran froze in place and couldn’t speak. She didn’t look at the car again, but she knew who was in it.

The number she dialed in panic was Gu Liangchen’s.
