Lu Ziming's eyes gradually became deep. He narrowed his eyes, took a clean cup, poured red wine into the cup, flicked his fingers lightly, and a handful of white powder slipped silently from his hand. He shook the cup, looked at the figure approaching from a distance, and curled up a faint smile.

Jiang Man walked up to Lu Ziming and said, "Let me see your hand."

Lu Ziming raised his hand as he was told.

Jiang Man lowered his head and carefully treated his wound, wrapping it with white gauze.

Her serious look stunned Lu Ziming for a moment, and he couldn't help but touch her cheek.

Jiang Man was startled and took a step back, "You..." She tried hard to hide her panic, but he saw it clearly.

Lu Ziming's lips gradually formed a line. He picked up a glass of wine that had already been poured and said, "Have a drink with me." He handed the glass to Jiang Man.

Jiang Man looked at the liquid in the cup and drank it in one gulp without hesitation. She wiped her mouth and looked at the dishes on the table. She had no appetite, but still sat down and took a few bites.

"Does it taste good, the same as before?" Lu Ziming asked after taking a sip of red wine.

"Yeah." Jiang Man nodded perfunctorily.

He saw through her attitude at a glance, but did not expose her.

"Are you full?"

Hearing this, Jiang Man felt relieved and nodded quickly, "I'm full."

"Let's go." Lu Ziming stood up and walked out the door.

Jiang Man followed him and when she reached the door, she felt dizzy. She rubbed her temples. What was going on?

"What's wrong?" Lu Ziming walked up to her and pretended to support her.

Jiang Man only felt that the figure in front of him was blurry, and he stumbled and fell directly on him.

Lu Ziming looked at Jiang Man who fainted in his arms, bent down and picked her up, tilted his head slightly, and kissed her cheek lightly, "Jiang Man, you forced me to do this."

Under the dim light, there is a hint of intoxication.

Lu Ziming was wearing a bathrobe, his hair was not dry, and water droplets slid down his chest, sexy and charming.

He looked at Jiang Man lying on the bed and narrowed his eyes.

He kissed her lips greedily.

Her lips were cold, without a trace of warmth.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and bit down, his hands naturally caressing her curves.

This series of actions made the unconscious Jiang Man frown.

Lu Ziming looked at her, stopped what he was doing, and stroked her brow with his hand. "Jiang Man, one day, you will be willing to do it."

He picked up the phone on the bedside table, opened the interface, and accurately found the familiar number. He dialed it gently, put the phone back on the bedside table, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Su Heng stared at the documents on the table. This newly taken over company did have many flaws, and he had to solve these problems in the shortest time possible.

His phone vibrated. He glanced at it and saw the caller ID clearly. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he answered the call, "Hello..."

There was silence on the other end of the line at first. He frowned slightly. "Jiang Man?" He called her name, but still no response. But gradually, a faint moaning sound came. His eyes narrowed into slits, and his grip on the phone unconsciously increased.

"Manman..." The familiar voice sounded again. He exerted force suddenly and threw the phone against the wall, breaking it into pieces in an instant.

He was silent for a moment, his eyes gradually became cold and terrifying, he grabbed his coat, and strode out the door.

When Jiang Man woke up, she found herself naked. She looked at herself blankly, and heard the sound of even breathing beside her. She turned her head with fear, and saw Lu Ziming's face.

Her lips were dry and chapped, and she covered her eyes with her hands, praying that everything she saw was just an illusion.

However, when she opened her eyes again, everything was still the same.

She kept taking deep breaths, her nose felt sore, and she looked at Lu Ziming who was sleeping soundly. For the first time, she felt that he was so strange.

She got out of bed with trembling legs, wrapped herself in the quilt, and just wanted to escape from the room and pretend that nothing had happened.

"Where are you going?" The person on the bed suddenly sat up.

"Go home." Jiang Man's voice was tearful, without even looking back at him. "Where are my clothes?" she asked anxiously, her eyes already red.

"In the bathroom," Lu Ziming replied. He could sense her sadness, but he didn't point it out. Was having sex with her so difficult for her to accept?

Jiang Man walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. Her clothes were on the sink. She mechanically took off her quilt and put on her clothes numbly. She didn't make any noise or cry, but just quietly tidied herself up.

She walked out of the bathroom, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and turned to leave.

Lu Ziming got out of bed and took her hand, "Manman..."

Jiang Man, like a frightened deer, suddenly pulled back his hand, suppressed his inner fear, and closed his eyes, "Let's just pretend that what happened today never happened."

Lu Ziming's face turned pale, "What do you think I did?"

Jiang Man bit his lips tightly, his eyes completely red, "I don't know! I don't know!"

After saying that, she took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions, "I want to go home."

"I'll accompany you." Lu Ziming stretched out his hand, wanting to hold her hand again.

Jiang Man stepped back and shook his head, "No need." Then he hurried towards the door.

Lu Ziming was behind her, but he didn't chase her. He just looked at her back quietly and sneered. He knew she couldn't escape.

Jiang Man walked aimlessly, completely unaware of the passage of time. He looked up at the sky, which was already covered with dark clouds.

As she walked, she sniffed, and suddenly, she felt a chill on her face, which turned out to be raindrops hitting her face.

She recalled that three years ago, on the same day, she knelt at the door of the Lu family and begged Mrs. Lu to return Xuanxuan to her.

Oh, Xuanxuan! She still has Xuanxuan! For some reason, she desperately wanted to see Xuanxuan at this moment, so she quickened her pace and rushed home.

The rain grew heavier, hitting her like hail, cold and painful.

She closed her eyes tightly, clenched her teeth, and endured the pain as she walked forward. As she neared the entrance to the residential complex, a beam of car lights suddenly lit up, blinding her. She pressed herself against the wall, unable to discern the car's presence due to the darkness.

However, the car showed no intention of leaving. The door suddenly opened and a tall figure walked out.

Jiang Man's heartbeat quickened as she stared at the figure. Even without seeing his face, she knew who he was. No one else possessed such a powerful aura.

The emotions she had been suppressing for so long collapsed at this moment. She looked at the person in front of her but did not take a step forward.

Tears welled up in my eyes and fell uncontrollably.

The moment I saw him, a huge sadness came over me like a tide.
