Don't meet me in your next life.

Shao Yunting's voice was as cold as ice, exuding a chilling aura.

"I......"

She opened her mouth, but the words stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

"I told you not to mention her, why did you bring her up?"

Xiang Yi pursed her lips, not answering his question.

"Speak! Are you mute?"

"She..." she finally couldn't help but say, "You love her..."

"Shut up!"

He angrily interrupted her.

Xiang Yi was so frightened that she shut her mouth, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

He said he loved her, but he loved another woman...

Xiang Yi suddenly felt her heart clenching, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Shao Yunting dumped her at the entrance of a hotel, coldly saying, "I need to rest, don't bother me," before leaving.

After he left, Xiang Yi squatted on the ground and cried alone.

Shao Yunting's words felt like a knife stabbing into her heart.

How can there be such cold-hearted people in this world?

He got angry at her just because she mentioned that woman's name?

Is it because of the promise he once made to her?

He never easily breaks his promises to others.

Xiang Yiyi, you really need to wake up.

You are no longer Mrs. Shao.

No matter how much you like him, it's useless.

He has never loved you, and you will never belong to him...

Your heart can no longer hold anyone else.

......

That evening, Shao Yunting did not return, and Xiang Yiyi was too lazy to ask him where he had gone.

I just lay in bed unable to sleep.

She tossed and turned all night, but finally got up and made a phone call to Shao Yunting.

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

Xiang Yi heard his languid voice: "Hello?"

"Mr. Shao, I'd like to ask you something."

She tentatively said.

"explain."

Shao Yunting's single word revealed his impatience.

Why did you choose to date her?

Shao Yunting frowned upon hearing this.

"What do you think?"

Xiang Yi remained silent.

She didn't understand why he would date another woman.

She didn't trust his judgment.

"You'd better ask my mom this question after you get married."

His answer left Xiang Yiyi completely stunned.

"Mr. Shao, what do you mean?"

Shao Yunting scoffed lightly: "You know perfectly well what I mean."

Xiang Yi's heart sank.

It turns out that he had only ever used her as a substitute for that other woman.

"I see."

Xiang Yi said calmly.

"Yes, is there anything else?"

Shao Yunting asked in a lukewarm tone.

"there is none left."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

The woman's smiling face flashed through her mind, and her heart ached inexplicably.

Xiang Yiyi, what exactly are you expecting?

He doesn't like you at all, so what makes you think you can marry into a wealthy family?

Xiang Yi's eyes were extremely sore.

She threw her phone aside, covered her mouth, and began to wail in pain.

She didn't know how long she cried before she finally drifted off to sleep.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, sat up, and picked up her phone.

"Mr. Shao?"

Xiang Yi called out in surprise, but there was no response from the other side.

He probably hasn't woken up yet, right?

Xiang Yi thought for a moment, then got out of bed, changed her clothes, and left the room.

She went to the living room and saw Aunt Li sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.

"Aunt Li."

She called out.

"Oh, young mistress, you're awake! Please come and eat. Young master is in his study dealing with official business and will probably be busy for a while. Please eat first."

Xiang Yi nodded with some doubt and walked into the restaurant.

A sumptuous breakfast was laid out on the table.

Xiang Yi was a little surprised, as she usually went straight to the kitchen to eat.

But today, Aunt Li specially prepared a sandwich and a glass of milk for her.

Xiang Yi couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Li, what's gotten into you today? Why are you being so considerate?"

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Young Madam, you've been wanting a sandwich, so I made one for you myself. Try it, what do you think?"

Xiang Yi paused for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You...how did you know I like sandwiches?"

Aunt Li winked mysteriously, leaned closer, and whispered, "Young Madam, you went to the banquet with the young master yesterday. He got drunk, so I secretly made him some sleeping pills so he could have a good sleep."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yi's face immediately turned terrified.

Aunt Li actually drugged Shao Yunting while she was unconscious, making her worry all night.

"Thank you, Aunt Li, thank you so much."

Xiang Yi held Aunt Li's hand and said with deep gratitude.

"Oh, young mistress, we're all family now, why are you saying all this? Eat up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Xiang Yi nodded gratefully, then slowly began to eat her breakfast.

She ate the meal with exceptional relish.

After finishing her meal, she cleaned up the dishes and was about to go upstairs to check on Shao Yunting.

To her surprise, just as she stepped onto the stairs, she heard Shao Yunting's deep, pleasant voice: "Yi Yi, come down and keep me company."

"Ah? Oh, okay."

Xiang Yi responded and ran down barefoot, forgetting even to put on her shoes.

"What's wrong?"

As she put on her slippers, she looked at Shao Yunting with curiosity.

"come over."

Shao Yunting beckoned to her with his finger.

Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment before approaching him.

Her gaze fell on Shao Yunting's exceptionally handsome face.

He looked somewhat tired.

"Mr. Shao, are you alright?"

He looked like he had been drinking; his face was flushed.

"fine."

He reached out and touched Xiang Yiyi's forehead.

Xiang Yi was startled and quickly dodged away.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.

She struggled to escape.

"Be good, don't move, let me hold you for a while."

Xiang Yi froze, not daring to move an inch.

She could feel his breathing growing hotter and hotter, and she could even hear his heart pounding violently in his chest.

This was the second time she had been this intimate with Shao Yunting.

Although it wasn't the first time, the feeling still made her feel shy and flustered.

His chest was hot and burning, as if it were about to cook her alive.

"You, you let me go..."

Xiang Yi uttered two words with some difficulty, but her voice trembled slightly, sounding very much like a coquettish complaint.

“No.”

Shao Yunting's voice grew increasingly hoarse.

"Shao Yunting... don't do anything rash..."

Xiang Yi was terrified, and her breathing became rapid.

"Reckless behavior? Do you know what you're saying?"

Shao Yunting tightened his grip, and his voice turned somewhat somber.

Xiang Yi's heart pounded, and she dared not speak again.

She could only silently endure the pressure on Shao Yunting's body.

She couldn't make him angry anymore.

"Don't you know best whether I'm acting recklessly or not?"

Shao Yunting's voice was filled with intense desire.

Xiang Yi's body tensed up, and her breathing became erratic.

She bit her lip, trying hard to stay rational.

"Shao Yunting, no matter what, you can't touch me!"

"Why?"
