I think my luck is turning around.

What happened to you last night?

Zhan Yu slowly opened her mouth and asked. She didn't care what An Ge thought; she was just curious.

"It's just drinking."

"Really? I don't believe it."

An Ge didn't say anything about Zhan Yu's words; she just wanted to change the subject as quickly as possible. She just wanted to avoid her own problems.

"If you really want to be with him, you'll have to go through a lot of hardship. His background is not simple!"

"Didn't you say he was a businessman?"

"That was his disguise, did you really believe it?"

"Shouldn't I believe it?"

"A man's words are deceitful. I, for one, don't believe them."

"Then tell me his identity, and I'll believe you."

“Both of them were hiding their identities, and it wouldn’t be fair to him to reveal them.”

At this moment, An Ge was talking about fairness, and Zhan Yu really wanted to laugh out loud. Fairness? If there were even a little bit of that, she wouldn't have never seen her parents' faces, and she wouldn't have to fight among a group of men like this.

If there were fairness, their task would be a joke.

Zhan Yu didn't say anything, but cursed everything in her heart. But what could she do? She just looked at the incredibly capable person in front of her and wanted to hear what else she had to say.

Do you know who your mother is? Do you want to know?

An Ge stared blankly at the person in front of her. When the word "mother" was mentioned, Zhan Yu naturally wanted to know, but An Ge had no information at all! She only deduced that Zhan Yu's identity was not so simple, and that her identity naturally did not come from her father's side.

"Mu'an, are you awake?"

"What would you do if I told you I hadn't slept all night?"

Upon hearing this answer, An Ge kicked the flowerpot next to her, and with a crisp sound, the flowerpot fell to the ground and shattered. Zhan Yu was also startled by An Ge's sudden outburst.

The crowd below fell silent instantly, discussing what the sound meant.

"Sorry, I couldn't control my emotions. Anyway, take care of yourself in three days."

"Is it related to that ragged person?"

An Ge nodded. That person was Zhan Yu's closest relative! And now the reason for her return was her. Would she really accept this? She didn't know, she wasn't sure.

"That's all I can say. I don't know about your future, and I can't predict it. I don't know if you can stay together forever."

That's the extent of An Ge's authority; that's all she can know.

Zhan Yu nodded, perhaps she would give up her feelings for her own sake.

At this moment, An Ge walked downstairs via another route, returned to her room, and then asked someone to prepare some bathwater for her.

An Ge sat in the bathtub, looking at the furnishings of Zhan Yu's room. She still felt terrible. Her drunken recklessness was not like her usual self, but she couldn't deny what had happened.

Ange touched her skin, began to clear her mind, and started to calm herself down.

An Ge washed every part of her body. Although she had taken the initiative, An Ge still couldn't accept that relationship. She didn't want to accept something numbed by alcohol.

The facts were there for all to see; what could she say? She could only accept it. But she couldn't express her emotions, so she sank her entire body below the surface of the water.

She was enveloped by the water, completely surrounded. Without the aid of air, she couldn't last long. Her hair floated on the surface, and her heart pounded wildly due to lack of oxygen.

She burst out of the water, gasping for air, greedily savoring the life-giving benefits it provided. She looked around; she couldn't cry. It was just an awkward situation, nothing to be ashamed of.

She was constantly battling with herself; she never let herself off the hook.

She sat in the water, staring blankly at the surface.

"I can choose not to admit it."

"But it was still an action I took, and I cannot deny its existence!"

"Those are all actions taken while intoxicated, they don't count, it's all the alcohol at work!"

"Am I a feudal remnant? Why should I care about that? It's just a one-night stand!"

It's just that we had sex! Why should I be anxious? I don't need to maintain my chastity for anything, damn it! That's how I should think!

With that, An Ge stood up from the bathtub. She was done bathing, and she was ready to face a new life!

But the next second, An Ge sat back down in the bathtub, watching the ripples on the water.

"If I could really be this indifferent, I wouldn't be living such a painful life."

An Ge took a bath all afternoon! She didn't come out until dinner time, and she didn't have much of an appetite, so she went straight back to her room.

An Ge entered the room feeling inexplicably exhausted, but she still closed the doors and windows tightly and blocked the doorway with tables and chairs. She sat weakly on the bed. The room was silent without lights, but the distinct breathing of the two people inside made An Ge a little panicked.

How come I didn't notice it just now? Although An Ge was blaming herself, she still managed to calm herself down first.

"An Ge, you're back."

Lin Jingqing slowly walked behind An Ge, his eyes in the darkness were very focused, and he slowly placed his hand on An Ge's shoulder.

"What are you here for?"

I miss you. I've been waiting for you for so long.

Lin Jingqing's tone carried a long-lost joy; he was expectant and hopeful. But An Ge had truly had enough. Hadn't today's self-torture been enough? Did she need this guy to "mocker" her now?

An Ge angrily turned around and pushed away the person who was standing right in front of her. She didn't want to torture herself anymore! Lin Jingqing also took a few steps back. He didn't understand what was wrong with An Ge either.

"You're really persistent! I told you not to come looking for me here! What are you doing? Are you trying to provoke me?"

An Ge's voice trembled, and so did her body. She lowered her voice and growled at Lin Jingqing. Lin Jingqing, bewildered, couldn't understand An Ge, yet he seemed to grasp something—the words spoken the previous night.

After a period of silence, An Ge, suppressing her trembling body, tried hard to calm herself down. Her reason was taking over her mind.

"Feel sorry."

An Ge didn't say anything more, but simply sat on the bed, allowing her mind, which had been consumed by anger, to finally calm down. Lin Jingqing stood there somewhat awkwardly, unsure whether to go over and comfort An Ge, just stand there and watch, or leave first.

"I'm not denying what happened between us. I can only say that my drunken self doesn't represent my whole self. Even if something happened between us, I can only say I'm sorry."

At this moment, Lin Jingqing seemed to have suddenly realized something. He walked over to An Ge, sat down, and gently pulled her into his arms.

"No need to apologize, this is a two-way street, and I really hope to have something going on with you."

At this moment, An Ge simply rolled her eyes, utterly helpless. How could this be so scumbag-like? She herself had indeed been a scumbag, but what was wrong with this guy? Was he finally realizing something, or had he been faking it all along?
