After the divorce, I trained my dog, and the scumbag father and son knelt down at my door.

The clothes I was wearing had been changed; they weren't the ones I wore when I met with President Ye.

Faint bruises also appeared on her exposed collarbone.

It's self-evident what happened.

She...was humiliated?!

who is it?

Which beast did this?

With tears welling up in her eyes, Yan Niannian clenched her fists tightly, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She turned away angrily.

She immediately saw the man lying next to her, his back to her.

At this moment, Zhuo Yuchen, who had heard the noise, also woke up.

He sat up slowly.

He was tormented by Yan Niannian all night, and he endured it all, only getting an hour or two of sleep, which left him in a very bad state.

He looked somewhat tired.

Seeing that Yan Niannian was awake, Zhuo Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but want to care for her.

But before he could even utter his words of concern, he was interrupted by a sharp sound.

Snapped!

Zhuo Yuchen turned his face to the side.

While wincing in pain, he looked incredulously at the hand that Yan Niannian hadn't yet lowered.

"Yan Niannian, are you crazy?" Zhuo Yuchen's voice was terrifyingly deep.

She didn't say a word, and just started hitting him?

"Zhuo Yuchen! You're so despicable, you actually... you actually..."

Yan Niannian was furious.

Her lips trembled, and the words "taking advantage of someone's misfortune" stuck in her throat. In her heartbreak, she ultimately failed to utter them.

But Zhuo Yuchen had already understood what she meant.

"Ha!" Zhuo Yuchen laughed angrily, "Like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."

"I, Zhuo Yuchen, would never stoop to the level of a woman who is not in her right mind."

"you……"

Their eyes met, and Yan Niannian was stunned for a moment.

She couldn't help but frown.

To be honest, I do have some understanding of Zhuo Yuchen.

As the apex predator in the food chain, Zhuo Yuchen had the right to be arrogant; he either did it or he didn't.

He never lies.

Is it...

Is it really not what I think?

As her anger subsided, Yan Niannian couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"On the contrary, it's you, Yan Niannian!" Zhuo Yuchen suddenly leaned forward, raised his hand, gritted his teeth, and poked Yan Niannian's shoulder a few times in dissatisfaction, "You pounced on me again and again in the bathtub."

"It was my strong will that prevented you from succeeding."

"I can't believe you're turning around and blaming your own savior. Well done, Yan Niannian."

His deep, hoarse voice was filled with mockery.

"In the bathtub..."

Following Zhuo Yuchen's words, Yan Niannian tried hard to recall.

To be honest, it did give her a rough idea.

She was soaked to the bone, the thin fabric clinging tightly to her body, and even the cold water in the bathtub couldn't extinguish the fire burning within her.

She really was like an octopus, repeatedly lunging at Zhuo Yuchen.

The bruises on her collarbone were caused by Zhuo Yuchen repeatedly pushing her back into the bathtub.

Uh……

What a mistake.

She misunderstood him.

"Cough cough cough..." Yan Niannian's expression was now quite awkward.

"Humph!"

Seeing her like this, Zhuo Yuchen knew that Yan Niannian had remembered something. He snorted and turned away.

He turned his back to Yan Niannian without saying a word.

Chest feels tight.

It was oppressive, dull, and incredibly uncomfortable.

Are you feeling wronged?

Zhuo Yuchen himself didn't know, but in short, he had never felt this terrible mood before.

Yan Niannian's lips twitched involuntarily.

I was surprised.

She had never seen Zhuo Yuchen like this before.

However, she was indeed in the wrong in this matter.

"Um... Zhuo Yuchen, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I apologize." Yan Niannian wasn't an unreasonable person, so she raised her hand and gently poked Zhuo Yuchen's back.

"Hmph! Your face hurts, does an apology do any good?"

Turning his head, Zhuo Yuchen gave Yan Niannian a deep look, his face still full of awkwardness.

"Then..." Yan Niannian suddenly thought, "Shall I rub it for you?"

Zhuo Yuchen raised an eyebrow.

He didn't speak, but his meaning was clear.

What are you waiting for?

Seeing this, Yan Niannian had no choice but to move forward and reach out to massage Zhuo Yuchen.

Move gently.

One after another, Yan Niannian was afraid of hurting him.

Otherwise, he'll get angry again.

Zhuo Yuchen narrowed his eyes meaningfully.

The chilling aura emanating from him vanished.

The inexplicable sense of comfort he felt made him smile wryly to himself.

I must be crazy.

This was the first time he had ever been hit in his life.

If it were anyone else, they would have been torn to pieces by now.

But what if it was Yan Niannian who made the move...?

He actually enjoyed it immensely.

In the end, he... actually fell in love with his ex-wife.

At this moment, both Yan Niannian's movements and the scent on her body made Zhuo Yuchen extremely enamored.

He couldn't help but raise his hand and grab Yan Niannian's small hand.

A broad, warm palm enveloped the back of her hand.

I don't want to let go anymore.

The air temperature rose sharply, creating an ambiguous atmosphere.

Yan Niannian was stunned.

Her long eyelashes trembled, somewhat puzzled.

Eyes facing each other.

The next moment, Yan Niannian was burned by the complex and profound look in Zhuo Yuchen's eyes. She shuddered and instinctively withdrew her hand.

Even though she was slow to understand emotions, she realized something was wrong at this moment.

"By the way... Zhuo Yuchen, why did you suddenly go to the Ye family last night?"

To ease the awkwardness, Yan Niannian quickly changed the subject.

Zhuo Yuchen gave Yan Niannian a deep look and said in a low voice, "It's something related to work."

Slightly dissatisfied, he didn't offer any further explanation.

And so, Yan Niannian missed an opportunity to be wary of Dong Yan and Xu Fei. Without thinking much about it, she simply nodded subconsciously, "Oh!"

Composing himself, Zhuo Yuchen frowned, his expression turning serious again. "What were you doing at the Ye family's place? And you were drugged?"

Yan Niannian recounted what had happened.

"what?"

Zhuo Yuchen's eyes were as dark and gloomy as water.

A murderous intent emanated from him.

Normally, he wouldn't take someone of Mr. Ye's stature seriously.

Therefore, I don't really know him.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ye, who appears so respectable, is actually a pervert behind the scenes.

This time, they even went after people they shouldn't have.

He deserves to die.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yuchen got up, walked to the window, and made a phone call to his assistant.

The call was quickly answered.

Zhuo Yuchen's deep voice carried an intense sense of oppression, "Deal with the entire Ye Group, and that President Ye. Since he's a beast, he has no reason to continue living as a human being in this world."

The assistant shuddered.

As Zhuo Yuchen's personal assistant, he knew that Zhuo Yuchen had saved Yan Niannian last night.

They've already gone to find that Mr. Ye, and are preparing to detain him.

But unexpectedly, something went wrong.

The assistant had no choice but to speak up, "Mr. Zhuo, the man surnamed Ye has run away."

"They ran away? What happened?"
