After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

The next day, I woke up to the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

My phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly rang. I picked it up and answered it.

The next second, a familiar female voice came from the phone.

"Momo! I'm back!"

The person on the phone was my best friend, Shen Yan. Even after my family went bankrupt, she didn't sever our relationship; instead, she helped me in every way.

Shen Yan kept calling out, "I saw Song Le as soon as I got off the plane. I think he's still waiting for you. Why don't you consider him?"

Song Le?

I hesitated for a moment, but ultimately refused. I was the one who abandoned him back then; how could I possibly have the face to go back to him now?

Just as he was about to explain, the bathroom door was opened, and this time Jiang Yichen came out fully dressed.

"Pimping in my bed?"

As soon as the man's voice came out, Shen Yan instantly became like a lifeless quail, not daring to utter a single word.

"I didn't mean that. Yan Yan was just saying it casually."

I hung up the phone, thinking that I should take care of my best friend, so I resolutely took the blame for her and prepared to accept Jiang Yichen's anger.

However, he didn't say anything, only that the doctor would come to change my dressing later.

That evening, Jiang Yichen called to say he wasn't coming back. Just as I was about to go to bed, I received a call from Shen Yan, who asked me to go to a bar to relax.

Logically, I should have asked Jiang Yichen if he agreed first.

But the thought that he wouldn't come back meant that even if I secretly went out for a night, he wouldn't find out.

I've always been good at acting first and informing later.

When I arrived at the bar, I stood at the entrance for a long time.

Before the Gu family's incident, I also liked to go to bars. Every night, no matter how late I fooled around, Jiang Yichen would be waiting for me outside.

Now I guess he won't care at all.

When I found Shen Yan, she was passionately kissing a male model who was 188cm tall. It took me a lot of effort to pull her down.

"You summoned me here just to show me these things?"

I looked at Shen Yan, and she seemed to imply that if she said yes, she would throw the person out of here.

Shen Yan shook her head, then mysteriously pulled out her phone and gestured for me to look. "Isn't this your husband? He was with other women before the divorce, that's adultery! You can't expect to get money from him!"

"But why were you two together this morning?"

My instinct was to clutch my chest, where Jiang Yichen's beastly behavior from last night was still visible.

Shen Yan, as expected of my friend of many years, knew something was wrong as soon as she saw me like this, and pounced on me to try to tear off my clothes.

At the critical moment, someone behind him spoke up to stop him.

"Gu Mo? Shen Yan? What are you doing?"

It's Song Le!

My body stiffened briefly, and when I came to my senses, he was already standing in front of me and Shen Yan.

When he looked at me, there was a deep worry in his eyes.

"Are you ok?"

I nodded.

How can it be considered bad? Jiang Yichen sends someone to take me to and from school every day. Although it's a bit of a hardship, life is still the same as before the bankruptcy.

I just have a few more worries.

Shen Yan squinted at me and slapped my shoulder: "What are you pretending for? Would I laugh at you if you said something wrong?"

Very well, she doesn't believe it.

"Gu Mo, I can help you." Song Le's voice came from beside her.

I turned to look at him, and his dark eyes held a hint of something indescribable.

"No need, I can manage. Thank you for helping me out at the karaoke bar last time."

He's right. With the Song family's strength, they could indeed help the Gu family overcome their difficulties. But now Tongcheng has changed, and Jiang Yichen is the ultimate master.

If he finds out that Song Le helped me, the Song family will probably lose face.

“Gu Mo, if you’re willing, we can…”

I knew what Song Le was going to say, so I quickly stopped her, "Jiang Yichen is very good to me."

I ran away from the wedding myself, and now I have no choice but to accept all the consequences.

I saw a brief moment of sadness in Song Le's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

He seemed very busy; he went to answer a phone call before he could even sit down.

As soon as he left, Shen Yan suddenly took out a check.

"Three million?" I looked at her in confusion.

Shen Yan stared at me, abandoning her usual nonchalant attitude.

"Take this money and use it first. If there's anything else I can help with, just let me know."

She remained as considerate to me as ever.

I looked at the check in her hand and felt a pang of bitterness.

She's already helped me enough after I went bankrupt; I can't take any more of her money.

I pushed the check back: "If I really need it, I'll definitely make a call."

Shen Yan was about to speak when I quickly stopped her, telling her to just enjoy her happy time.

Just then, my pocket suddenly vibrated.

My heart skipped a beat for no reason, and an ominous premonition rose in my mind.

I quickly took out my phone, glanced at the screen, and froze.

Jiang Yichen?

Why would he call at this hour? Has he gone back home?

The thought of that cold face makes me feel a little guilty.

The phone was still vibrating wildly in my hand. I snapped out of my daze and quickly pressed the answer button: "What is it?"

A man's hoarse, deep voice slowly rang out: "What are you doing?"

My nerves tightened involuntarily.

I used to be carefree and do whatever I wanted.

Even if he gets completely drunk, Jiang Yichen won't say a word and will still take care of me in accordance with my temper.

Unlike now, when I have to be mindful of his mood in everything I do.

I instinctively lied to him: "I'm reading at home."

He seemed somewhat skeptical, and chuckled softly, "You? Reading a book?"

That laughter was really creepy; I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

Is he here too?

I held my breath and looked around, but didn't see Jiang Yichen. I breathed a sigh of relief when I couldn't find him.

"Isn't it normal for me to go to school, read books, and complete my homework now?"

"Really? I'm going home to get something. I'll be home in half an hour."

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a chill run down my spine.

If I don't get back within half an hour, I'm afraid I'll be facing his raging storm!

After hanging up the phone, I immediately said goodbye to Shen Yan and ran outside as fast as I could, my mind focused solely on getting home as quickly as possible.

After crossing the traffic light at the corner, I immediately ran to the sidewalk.

However, a sudden, urgent horn blared, and when I turned around, the blinding light made it impossible for me to open my eyes.

My first instinct was to run away, but my whole body felt like it was filled with molten lead, and I couldn't move an inch!

When it was only three meters away from me, the wheels made a loud noise, and my body went limp, and I collapsed to the ground.

When I opened my eyes, I was already in the hospital.

Jiang Yichen stared intently at me, a chill creeping over his usually calm face.

"you're awake?"

His voice sounded neither sad nor happy, making it hard to understand.

I instinctively clenched the hem of my clothes, feeling a little nervous, wondering how he would punish me this time.
