The wedding night, Bai Yuexi is shyly waiting in the wedding room.

Being in love for two years, Ling Yun and she have never tasted the forbidden fruit. Today she is going to marry him and give him her virginity.

The door opens. She blushes immediately and sits up from the bed, “Ling Yun, why you come so…”

The words haven’t been finished, and a stranger just comes in, with a dirty smile on his face.

“Who are you? What are you doing here?”

“To love you, of course.” The man says and jumps upon Yuexi. He directly presses on her.

Yuexi struggles desperately, but the man is too strong, she has no way to resist.

The man’s body has a blending odor of sweat and alcohol. He is staring at Yuexi’s breast, with a face full of obscenity.

Yuexi is so frightened that she shouts again and again, “Ling Yun, Ling Yun! Save me!”

But the louder she screams, the more excited the man becomes.

After a while, still no one else comes to the room. The man pressing on her laughs and says, “Shut up! It is your husband who asked me to do this.”

“No way!” Yuexi is staring at this man, wild with anger.

“How else do you think I can get in here? Your husband is of sexual impotence, so he asked me to put my seeds in your belly. Don’t worry, I will do it gently.”

The man says something while he tears off her clothes. She screams in terror. But no matter how loudly she shouts, no one shows up.

At this moment, she catches a glimpse of the lamp on the bedside table. With all her strength, she grabs the lamp, and hits his head hard with it.

The man lets out a dull snort. Taking the opportunity, Yuexi pushes him aside and runs for the door.

When running to the porch, she is suddenly drawn by the conversation of two familiar voices.

She can clearly hear Zhao Xiao and Ling Yun talking outside.

Zhao Xiao, her mother-in-law, asks, “Is this really OK?”

Ling Yun hesitates for a moment. After thinking for a while, he says firmly, “I don’t have much choice. Her father said he would give me the company shares, as long as Yuexi gives birth to a child. But for my car accident, I wouldn’t cuckold myself!”

Yuexi is so shocked that she cannot move for a moment.

In the past three years, Ling Yun wanted to make love with her, but she intended to save it for the wedding night. Finally, she agreed to do so, but he stopped every time when they came to the crucial moment.

At first, she thought Ling Yun was just shy.

But now, she realizes that he isn’t able to do this!

How ridiculous! Her husband is impotent at the wedding night!

“So, in the next year, we can’t let Yuexi see her father. Otherwise, everything will be over.” Zhao Xiao has a flash of calculation in her eyes.

Zhao Xiao will do anything for her son.

Yuexi now realizes that Ling Yun marries her just for her family’s property.

She sneers in her mind. “I am so blind as to trust him with all his crap.”

After all these years, it turns out that she has been cheating herself.

She believes she married for love, but never thought it would be a scam!

Yuexi feels that her whole body is hot and dry, and a kind of numbness comes over her, as if there were innumerable small insects gnawing at her sense.

It suddenly occurs to Yuexi that when Zhao Xiao was handing her a glass of water, she had a strange look.

They must have drugged it! She has never expected them to be so shameless.

Yuexi bits her lower lip with her chest heaving violently.

No, she must get out of here!

Zhao Xiao and Ling Yun talks for a while. Feeling that the arranged thing must have been done. They go upstairs.

Seeing that, Yuexi quickly finds the key, and gets to the door carefully, planning to escape.

But she hears the sound of rapid footsteps behind her. Ling Yun shouts, “Yuexi, listen to me, I can explain it!”

The door opens with a click.

Zhao Xiao gets frightened and shouts, “Hold her! We can’t let her go!”

Without thinking, Yuexi rushes out barefoot. But they are getting closer and closer.

She runs on, breathlessly. Ling Yun is going to catch her.

Ahead is a corner and Yuexi runs to it desperately. Suddenly a flash of white light dazzles her eyes. It is a speeding car.

She is frozen, watching that car running to her. In terror, she closes her eyes.

But the imagined pain does not come. There is a sound of quick brake. Her tattered skirt flies a little with the sudden wind. She feels a blast of hot air hitting her legs.

The car stops a millimeter from her.

At this time, Ling Yun also comes close to her.

There is no turning back for her.

Suddenly the door of the car opens. Yuexi rushes over and begs with a nervous and frightened expression, “Help me! Please!”

Li Fengjue looks at the girl up and down with cold eyes. He has no chance to speak when Ling Yun at once rushes to Yuexi, and grabs her wrist to take her home.

She struggles hard, desperately shouting, “I don’t want to go back with you, I want a divorce, you liar!”

Ling Yun holds his anger and says in a low voice, “Don’t push me.”

If there had been no one here, he would have beaten her.

Yuexi tries so hard to get rid of him. She comes to Li Fengjue’s side, begging again, “Please help me! I beg you!”

“Come home with me.” Ling Yun has lost his patience, and wants to reach out to hold her again.

Yuexi quickly hides herself behind Li Fengjue. She is trembling.

And the man in front of her stands motionless like an unmovable mountain. His placid eyes are even gloomier than the night.

Because of this stranger, Ling Yun lowers down his tone and says in a soft voice, “Yuexi, there is a misunderstanding between us. Let’s go home and talk about it. Don’t be a shame here.”

“You think I am a shame? Aren’t you a shame when you sent that man to my room?”

Looking at the stranger’s slender back, Yuexi feels as if she has seized the last straw. She begins to speak with confidence

“You!” Ling Yun loses all his patience. He runs up to her immediately and holds her wrist.

“Come home with me!” His face looks distorted, full of anger and darkness.

Yuexi’s whole body is trembling violently. She is going to faint because of the drug her mother-in-law put in her water, but she still struggles to fight him in her consciousness, with all her strength failing her.

A fit of despair rises within her as she has used up her last ounce of strength.

Should she go back with him, her life would be ruined!

“Let her go.”

A calm voice rings in her ears. Yuexi catches a pair of black eyes.

It is Li Fengjue. He lifts his eyes and looks at Ling Yun expressionlessly. He looks very serious and steadfast.

“Mind your own business!” Ling Yun threatens and again he reaches out for Yuexi.

Li Fengjue opens his mouth lightly, in a cold voice, “I wonder if police will be interested in it.”

As he speaks, he takes his phone out of his pocket.

Ling Yun looks at him in horror, with his eyes full of anger. He glances at Yuexi, thinking of the consequences of letting her go. He is sure that she will call police. So the best way to solve this problem is to take her home. After all, the police dare not arrest him without a proof.
