After the divorce, the aloof female CEO was filled with regret.

I sat up abruptly, my eyes blazing.

"What did you mean by that?"

Did Jiang Yuwei pay a heavy price for starting over for me?

Actually, I had thought about this question before: why was I able to be reborn? But I couldn't figure it out no matter how much I thought about it. Could it be that, as Chen Yiran said, it was all because of Jiang Yuwei?

Chen Yiran was about to speak when Jiang Yuwei interrupted him sharply, "Shut up!"

As he spoke, blood appeared on Chen Yiran's neck, trickling down the knife tip and dripping onto the cold ground. Chen Yiran pursed his lips, glaring at me resentfully, not daring to utter another word.

My curiosity had been completely piqued, and no matter what, I had to get to the bottom of it. "Jiang Yuwei, get out of the way! I want to hear what he has to say!"

As I spoke, I jumped out of bed without a second thought, not even bothering to put on my shoes.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei frowned. Before I could even reach Chen Yiran, she suddenly threw away the knife and expertly pushed me back onto the bed.

"Let me go!"

They promised not to interfere with my decisions, but now they're forcibly stopping me. Old habits die hard; they were good for a day and are already going back on their word again.

In a moment of desperation, I slapped Jiang Yuwei across the face. "Are you deaf? I'll say it again, let me go!"

Jiang Yichen, who was seeing this scene for the first time, gasped and looked like he was doomed.

However, Jiang Yuwei remained unusually calm. She gently covered me with the blanket and then knelt down.

"Don't get angry. I'll make him tell you what you want to know. But first, you need to take care of yourself and put your shoes on!"

As she spoke, she lifted my feet and gently helped me put on my shoes.

This scene stunned everyone present, even I was momentarily dazed. Only Secretary Li seemed unfazed, and then subtly turned her gaze elsewhere.

Chen Yiran glared at me fiercely, his eyes filled with anger, jealousy, and even more so with hatred. His gaze seemed to say that everything I had now belonged to him, and that I had taken everything from him.

Jiang Yuwei stood up and coldly swept her gaze over Chen Yiran.

"Chen Yiran is dangerous; you can't get too close to him."

I looked down at myself, my limbs free, and then at Chen Yiran, who was tightly bound and unable to even crawl. I couldn't help but find it amusing.

Anyone with eyes can see that I am the one who has the initiative right now.

I took a deep breath, walked up to Chen Yiran, and stared at him with a condescending air. "What exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

Chen Yiran raised his head and looked at me smugly, "Literally, Ye Qiu. I told you long ago, you're a villainous supporting character, you have no luck! If it weren't for her helping you time and time again, do you think you could have a second chance? You're dreaming!"

My heart sank; all my guesses were confirmed at that moment.

I turned to look at Jiang Yuwei, but she turned her head slightly away, deliberately avoiding my gaze.

This subtle movement made me even more convinced that there was something more to it than met the eye.

I looked away and stared directly at Chen Yiran. "What exactly do you mean by 'the price'?"

Rebirth is already an incredible thing, but Jiang Yuwei was able to make such a miracle happen five times. The price behind it must be no simple matter.

Although my entanglements with her in previous lives caused me great pain, I also know that the source of all this is not entirely her.

It was me who, time and again, was blinded by love and insisted on getting entangled with her.

If Jiang Yuwei really paid a huge price for me, I need to find out the truth and then find a way to repay her.

But I was also afraid. I longed to know the truth, but I was also afraid that I would be unable to repay it. I even preferred to remain ignorant and pretend that none of this had ever happened.
