Qin Reng's hand froze in mid-air, and his face immediately darkened.

"Why are you hiding?" His voice turned cold.

"I..." Yu Yuetong was startled by his sudden question and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"What? Feeling guilty?" Qin Reng pressed on, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Or are you saying you're not Yu Yuetong at all?"

Yu Yuetong's heart sank. Why would he doubt her identity? Had he discovered something?

"What are you talking about? How could I not be Yu Yuetong?" she retorted, trying to appear calm, but her eyes couldn't help but flicker.

"Isn't that so?" Qin Reng sneered, suddenly leaning forward and trapping her between the headboard and himself. "Then tell me, who exactly are you? What is your purpose in approaching me?"

His gaze was sharp, like that of a hawk, as if he could see through all her pretenses. Yu Yuetong was overwhelmed by his imposing presence, unable to breathe, and could only desperately shake her head, "I really... um..."

Before she could finish her explanation, Qin Reng kissed her fiercely. His kiss was domineering and passionate, carrying a hint of punishment, as if he wanted to devour her completely. Yu Yuetong struggled to push him away, but he held her firmly in his strong arms, unable to move.

"Ugh..." she let out a helpless sob, tears welling up in her eyes.

Just then, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the door.

"Young Master, Young Madam, are you alright?" It was Han Shuang's voice.

Qin Reng abruptly stopped, releasing his grip on her. Yu Yuetong seized the opportunity to push him away, panting heavily, her face still flushed from the kiss, making her look exceptionally alluring.

Qin Reng looked at her with unfathomable eyes, making it impossible to fathom what he was thinking.

"It's alright, Mom, we'll be out in a minute." Qin Reng replied calmly, then stood up, straightened his clothes, and turned to walk towards the door.

Yu Yuetong watched his departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions, and for a moment she didn't know what to do...

Han Shuang's knocking on the door was like a thunderclap, exploding in the silent room. Qin Reng's movements stopped abruptly, but his sharp gaze remained fixed on Yu Yuetong's face, as if trying to see right through her. Yu Yuetong felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and pushed him away forcefully, gasping for breath like a dying fish.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Qin Reng's voice sounded perfectly normal, as if the tense standoff just moments before was nothing but an illusion.

"Can't you come see my son and daughter-in-law if there's nothing wrong?" Han Shuang's voice carried a hint of teasing, but couldn't hide the concern in her tone. "It's so late, why aren't you resting yet? Young people should take care of their health!"

"Okay, Mom, we'll go to sleep right away." Qin Reng replied perfunctorily, then turned to Yue Tong and said, "You should rest first, I still have some things to take care of."

After saying that, he left the room without looking back, leaving Yu Yuetong sitting alone on the bed, lost in thought.

What did he mean by that? Does he really doubt that she isn't Yu Yuetong? But what exactly did he discover?

Yu Yuetong felt increasingly confused as she thought about it, so she simply threw off the covers, got out of bed, walked to the window, and stared blankly at the dazzling night view outside.

A gentle night breeze blew, scattering her long hair and cooling the temperature of her face.

She suddenly remembered what Old Madam Qin had said to her at the old house earlier that day: "Tongtong, I know you feel wronged, but marriage is not a game. Since you've married Qin Reng, you have to live a good life with him, understand?"

At the time, she thought the old lady was just comforting her, but now she thinks that perhaps the old lady had already seen through something.

But how could that be? She just transmigrated here and hasn't revealed any flaws at all!

Could it be... the original owner's fault?

Yu Yuetong shook her head vigorously, banishing the absurd idea from her mind. Her immediate priority was to figure out what Qin Reng was suspecting and dispel his doubts; otherwise, her future would be bleak!

The next morning, Yu Yuetong was awakened by a knock on the door. She opened her eyes groggily and saw Qin Reng standing by the bed in a suit and tie, holding a steaming cup of milk.

"Awake? Get up and have breakfast." His tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Yu Yuetong was stunned, hardly believing her ears. Was this still the Qin Reng who had mocked and harassed her in every way?

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Qin Reng raised an eyebrow and handed her the milk. "Or did you sleepwalk last night and hurt my head?"

“You…” Yu Yuetong was pulled back to reality by his sarcastic tone, and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, “Who cares about your concern!”

"If you don't care, don't drink it. Nobody's forcing you!" Qin Reng pretended to take the milk away, but Yu Yuetong snatched it away.

"Hmph, what a shameful waste!" Yu Yuetong gulped down her milk, but in her mind she was plotting how to test him.

"Qin Reng, last night..."

"What happened to me last night?" Qin Reng asked knowingly, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

"You..." Yu Yuetong felt uneasy under his gaze, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Why did you do that to me last night?"

"Which way?" Qin Reng's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he deliberately leaned closer to her, his deep voice whispering in her ear, "Like this, or like this?"

His breath tickled and tingled her ear, making her heart skip a beat.

"You..." Yu Yuetong's face instantly turned bright red, like a boiled shrimp, and she stammered, "You...you are shameless!"

"I'm shameless?" Qin Reng laughed as if he had heard a funny joke. "I'm shameless towards you, an imposter? Why don't you look in the mirror and see who's seducing whom?"

"You..." Yu Yuetong was so angry that she couldn't speak. She could only glare at him fiercely, but when she saw the fleeting hurt in his eyes, her heart ached inexplicably.

He... seems to really care about "Yu Yuetong"...

Yu Yuetong felt a chill run down her spine under Qin Reng's blatant and direct gaze, as if she were being watched by a cunning fox, wishing she could disappear into the ground. What did he mean by "seduction"? She hadn't done anything at all!

"Qin Reng, can't you speak properly? Stop being so sarcastic all the time!" Yu Yuetong glared at him angrily, trying to save face.

"I'm being sarcastic?" Qin Reng, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly stood up, looking down at her condescendingly. "Yu Yuetong, let me tell you, don't think I don't know what you're up to! You'd better behave yourself, or else..."

"Otherwise what?" Yu Yuetong retorted, glaring back at him defiantly. She wanted to see what Qin Reng could do to her!

“Otherwise…” Qin Reng gritted his teeth, suddenly leaned down, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her close to him, their noses almost touching. “Otherwise I’ll…”
