Don't meet me in your next life.

"Then why did you come with that man?!"

"That man? Which man?!" Xiang Yi asked in confusion.

"Who else could it be?!"

Shen Muyi sneered, "Xiang Yiyi, don't tell me you only found out who that man is today?!"

Xiang Yi frowned. "Who is that man?"

"You still want to play dumb?" Shen Muye's voice suddenly rose, like the calm before a storm.

Xiang Yi's heart clenched suddenly. "What are you talking about? I don't understand a word!"

"You don't understand?" Shen Muye's expression grew increasingly grim.

The words that man had said at the hospital entrance suddenly flashed through Xiang Yiyi's mind.

Could it be... could it be that he is that man?

Xiang Yi's heart clenched, and her breathing became rapid.

"What are you talking about?!"

"To Yi Yi!"

Shen Muyi roared, "I'm telling you, I will never allow you to do anything to betray me again!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Xiang Yi looked at him, puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?" Shen Muye scoffed. "Ha, you're asking me what's wrong? I'm asking you now, that night, I was waiting for you at the hotel, why didn't you come?"

Xiang Yi opened her eyes wide in shock.

Could Shen Muyi be referring to that night when he waited for her outside the hotel...?

He did wait for her outside the hotel for two or three hours that night.

But at the time, she was so flustered that she didn't see his face clearly.

Xiang Yi didn't know how to answer.

Are you speechless now?

Shen Muye suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin.

His gaze was icy cold, as if it were poisoned.

"Tell me, what exactly did you do that night?!"

Xiang Yi bit her lip and remained silent.

Shen Muye sneered, "Xiang Yiyi, don't forget, you're already married to me. I'm your husband. You think I don't know you've been fooling around outside?"

"I didn't!" Xiang Yi protested vehemently, "I really didn't do anything improper!"

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked. "I saw it with my own eyes!"

As he spoke, he abruptly loosened his tie and unbuttoned one button of his collar.

"That man is my friend, Jiang Haoxuan. You two grew up together, childhood sweethearts, incredibly close. You even made a promise to marry each other when you grew up! Xiang Yiyi, I don't want to see our families unite in marriage! I'll arrange a blind date for you as soon as possible!"

"You're being unreasonable!" Xiang Yi was so angry that she trembled all over.

Shen Muye grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently. "Xiang Yiyi, don't think I don't know anything! You not only seduced me, but you're even with that Jiang Haoxuan! Do you really think I don't know?! I'm your husband, and you're fooling around with other men outside. Shouldn't I be angry?"

Xiang Yi struggled for a moment but couldn't break free. Her eyes filled with tears, she looked at Shen Muyi with a wronged expression, "Didn't you say you wanted a divorce? So what if I'm with that man?!"

"I've changed my mind!" Shen Muyi suddenly released his grip on Xiang Yiyi, letting go of her, and sneered, "Don't worry, I won't get a divorce."

Xiang Yi was stunned and looked at Shen Muye in disbelief.

"Why?"

Shen Muye's smile was mocking. "Why?"

"You already know about my relationship with Jiang Haoxuan, yet you still choose to stay by my side. Isn't that just to get revenge on me?! Xiang Yiyi, I'm warning you, if you continue to harass me, I will not forgive you!"

After Shen Muye finished speaking, he turned and left.

Xiang Yi stood there stunned, unable to calm down for a long time.

How did he know? How did he find out?

"Shen Muyi!" Xiang Yiyi suddenly called out to him, "Did you investigate me?"

Shen Muyi turned around, his gaze icy. "Xiang Yiyi, I'm warning you, don't try to test my patience! You'd better stay by my side obediently, otherwise..."

"Or what?"

"Otherwise, I will never let you go!" Shen Muye said threateningly before turning and leaving.

Xiang Yi stared blankly at his departing figure, her heart filled with desolation.

She didn't know how long she stood there in a daze until a car stopped in front of her.

Xiang Yi then realized what was happening and quickly hid in the bushes by the roadside.

She had only squatted down a short while when she saw a tall, handsome young man in a black suit and sunglasses approach her.

Xiang Yi's heart tightened, and she quickly held her breath.

She recognized the man; he was the one who had been waiting for her at the hotel!

She had almost figured out the man's identity; he was the president of Shengyu International and the vice president of Shengyu Group.

Moreover, according to sources within the Shengyu Group, this man is the young master of the Shengyu Group and Xiang Chengyou, Xiang Yiqing's younger brother.

"Hey," the young man suddenly called out to her, "what are you still doing hiding here?"

Xiang Yi's heart was pounding.

She didn't dare to look up at the man, and just stiffly shook her head.

Upon seeing this, the man couldn't help but scoff, "Still playing tricks?!"

As he spoke, he suddenly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Do you know that the expression you're making can easily be misunderstood?"

Xiang Yi's cheeks flushed instantly, and she waved her hands frantically, "No, no, I... I didn't, I didn't do anything..."

"Didn't do anything?" The man's gaze lingered on her neck. "Then what happened here?"

Xiang Yi quickly covered up the hickeys on her neck.

"I... I bumped into it by accident," she stammered.

The man scoffed, "An accidental bump? Ha, I bet it was staged."

His gaze swept over her, a playful smile appearing in his eyes.

Feeling guilty under his gaze, Xiang Yi hurriedly looked away.

The man smiled, then suddenly bent down, picked up a thin steel wire rope, and threw it at her.

He laughed as he said, "Since you like this kind of thing, I'll reluctantly give it to you."

Xiang Yi was startled.

This thin rope may not look sharp, and it may even look a bit clumsy, but if tied around a person's neck or wrist, it can be a deadly weapon.

Xiang Yi's eyes darted around, a hint of hesitation in her mind.

Although this rope is clumsy, if it were to actually bind her, she would probably be doomed!

The man noticed her hesitation and suddenly said, "Don't worry, I can protect you. If there's any danger, I'll run away immediately."

Xiang Yi hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "I promise you."

The man smiled triumphantly, "You'd better keep your word."

Xiang Yi gritted her teeth and picked up the rope.

Seeing this, the man immediately snatched the things from her hands, saying, "Let me help you tie them."

"I can do it myself," Xiang Yi quickly refused.

The man persisted, "That won't do!"

He tied the rope around his waist and then tied the other end of the rope around Xiang Yi's waist. "Okay."

Xiang Yi felt his touch and felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly took two steps back.
