Shen Qingge sat on the sofa, tears welling up in her eyes.

She tried hard to control her emotions, but Haize's indifference and anger made her feel wronged and resentful like never before.

She bit her lower lip and said in a trembling voice, "Haize, I admit that I wanted to marry you because I was hurt and frustrated; but when I decided to marry you, I was determined to start a new life seriously."

I hope we can live like a normal married couple, respecting and loving each other.

Only marriages like this have meaning.

I thought you had feelings for me, and that we could do it.

But now I think I might have misunderstood you. You don't love me.

If there's no affection between us, and you're unwilling to cultivate it, such a marriage will benefit no one.

Haize stood in front of her, his hands in his pockets, a mocking smile on his lips.

He said coldly, "I'm not willing to cultivate feelings? Shen Qingge, you're really good at pretending."

You have Gu Tingyu in your heart, but you've never had me in your heart.

You married me only for the benefit of the Shen Group and for your father's ambitions. Do you think I don't know that?

Shen Qingge was stunned; she hadn't expected Haize to say that.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside her. She knew that what Haize said was true, but at the same time she also knew that she was not completely without feelings for Haize.

She had many fantasies. She also put in a lot of effort. And of course, she also pretended.

She just didn't expect Haize to expose her disguise so directly.

She whispered, "Haize, I...I just didn't want you to misunderstand, about how I feel about you..."

"A misunderstanding?" Haize interrupted her, a flash of anger in his eyes:

"Shen Qingge, what do you take me for? Do you think you can change my opinion of you with just a few words?"

You only care about Gu Tingyu, your own interests, and the interests of the Shen family. You have never put me in your eyes.

What do you think I married you for? Do you think I'm a fool?

Shen Qingge was very surprised. So this is how Haize thought of her and how he viewed this marriage.

And it seems he had ulterior motives for marrying her?

"Then why did you marry me?" Shen Qingge asked blankly.

"To make you realize your mistake!" Haize said viciously, a hint of malice in his eyes.

Shen Qingge felt completely unwell.

This was a side of Haize he had never seen before. A strange, terrifying demon.

His eyes were filled with anger and malice, as if he wanted to tear her apart.

A mocking smile played on his lips, but that smile sent a chill down Shen Qingge's spine.

His voice was cold and harsh, each word like a sharp blade piercing Shen Qingge's heart.

Shen Qingge felt her body trembling, and her heart was beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Her eyes were filled with tears, but she dared not cry out loud.

She was afraid that Haize would become even angrier, afraid that he would do something even worse to her.

Her heart was filled with despair. She didn't know what to do or how to face the man in front of her.

Shen Qingge suddenly realized that she might have fallen into a very terrible trap.

Her heart was filled with helplessness and despair, like a wounded bird trapped in a cage. Her soul seemed trapped in darkness, forever unable to find the light.

She sat there blankly, not knowing what to say or do.

Today is the third day since my wife took her son, Haize, back to her parents' home for the homecoming banquet.

How can we go back now?

Shen Qingge could imagine how her father would joyfully arrange the event and how happily he would entertain relatives and friends.

What will she do if everything goes wrong?

As she was lost in thought and at a loss, the person in front of her suddenly changed his tone: "Go and freshen up. I'll have the housekeeper bring your clothes over later, and we'll go to the homecoming banquet together."

Shen Qingge was stunned for a moment, somewhat confused and surprised.

She looked at Haize, her eyes filled with confusion: "What...what did you say?"

Haize smiled slightly, his smile carrying a hint of gentleness, which made Shen Qingge's heart tremble slightly.

He said, "I'm telling you, go and get ready. Today is the homecoming banquet, and as the bride, you should naturally dress up nicely."

Shen Qingge breathed a sigh of relief. She had thought that Haize would cancel the homecoming banquet because of the argument earlier, but she didn't expect that he would still remember it.

Without thinking of anything else, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right now."

After taking a shower, drying her hair, and applying a face mask, Shen Qingge walked out of the bathroom and saw two brand-new sets of clothes on the sofa in the living room.

A delicate Chinese cheongsam, in a soft pink, embroidered with exquisite peony patterns, symbolizing wealth and good fortune.

The cheongsam's collar and cuffs are trimmed with gold lace, adding a touch of luxury.

The cheongsam has a slight slit at the hem, which allows for easy movement while maintaining elegance. It perfectly complements the gentle atmosphere of spring.

Next to it was a men's dark blue Chinese-style long gown.

The long gown is made of smooth silk and embroidered with exquisite dragon patterns, representing nobility and authority.

The collar and cuffs of the long gown were decorated with gold trim, echoing the gold lace trim on Shen Qingge's cheongsam.

The clothes were clearly carefully selected and prepared in advance by Haize.

Shen Qingge felt as if none of the strange things that had happened in the past two days had occurred, and Haize was still the thoughtful, considerate gentleman who looked forward to married life.

But the shock and fear from just now are still lingering in my body.

It reminded her of everything that had happened.

Shen Qingge took her clothes and went back to her bedroom.

After putting on makeup and changing clothes, I looked at myself in the mirror:

The pink of the cheongsam was soft and warm, perfectly complementing her skin tone and making her skin look even more delicate and smooth.

The peony pattern is exquisite, with the flowers blooming on the cheongsam. Each petal is lifelike, swaying gently with her movements and emitting a faint fragrance.

The woman in the mirror was beautiful and charming, like a delicate peony in full bloom, radiating unparalleled beauty and allure.

As she looked, the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

It's a pity that such a beautiful flower is misunderstood and unappreciated.

In what way is Shen Qingge inferior to Su Maiqi?

Why should she steal the man who should have been hers?

If she hadn't stolen Gu Tingyu away, how would I have fallen into Haize's trap?

She silently vowed in her heart: "Sooner or later I will make you pay the price, and make you taste what I have gone through."
