Outside the city, in a small motel.
Song Wanqiu looked at the yellowing sheets, even with cigarette burn holes, and felt a wave of nausea rise.
"This hellish place, is it fit for people to live in?"
Li He hugged her, not with anger but laughter, "Wanqiu, finally, you’re only mine."
But Song Wanqiu couldn’t feel any happiness at all; she pushed him away forcefully, "Shut up! I’m asking you! Why did you bring me to this broken place!"
"Inside the city, it’s all Gong Family’s people looking for you. You’ll have to make do for now. Once I’ve bought the plane tickets, I’ll take you out of the country."
Li He leaned against the pitted table, lit a cigarette, and looked at Song Wanqiu with a focused gaze.
Even now, with Song Wanqiu a bit disheveled, he still found her in her wedding dress beautiful in his eyes.
He reached out, wiped the dust off her face, grabbed her neck, and pulled her in for a forceful kiss.
Song Wanqiu glared at him, then raised her hand and slapped him across the face.
"That’s enough! I’m not in the mood."
Li He rolled his tongue against his cheek, letting her vent.
After a while, Song Wanqiu calmed down and reached out to Li He, "Give me your phone. I need to check on my family’s situation with my mom."
Li He tossed his phone to her directly.
Song Wanqiu took a deep breath and dialed Qin Shuang’s number.
After the call connected, she spoke cautiously, "Mom."
Qin Shuang, who had always cherished her daughter, couldn’t help but curse at this moment.
"Do you even know to call back? Do you know that your father just came out of the emergency room because of a heart attack due to your actions!" ƒгeewebnovёl.com
"You’re really sinful! How dare you elope with someone at the wedding! Now everything you did has been set in stone, and our entire Song Family can’t lift their heads in pride!"
"You... just go. Our Song Family has no daughter like you."
Qin Shuang burst into tears and hung up the phone.
Soon after, Li He’s phone received a screenshot sent by Qin Shuang.
"Your mom transferred you some money; we don’t have to worry about going abroad anymore."
Song Wanqiu looked at the screenshot, her face void of any joy.
She was once the most envied woman in Quan Jing City, but now she had to flee to another country.
How could she accept this?
Li He didn’t care about her emotions; he thought she just needed time to accept the situation.
After snuffing out the cigarette, he moved forward and caressed Song Wanqiu’s body, the fire in his eyes growing even more intense.
He lowered his head to kiss her cheek, "Wanqiu, believe me, I will make you happy."
Song Wanqiu clenched her fists, and after a few seconds, she loosened them to wrap her arms around Li He’s neck, hugging him with a smile.
"Li He, all I have is you now. You will help me, right?"
"Of course."
"Before we leave, I want to get rid of Lin Zhiyi, or else I won’t be able to swallow this grudge!"
Song Wanqiu raised her hand, her eyes glistening with moisture.
Li He gently stroked the corner of her eye, "Okay. How do you want to do it?"
Song Wanqiu kissed the corner of his mouth, "Just cooperate with me; someone will help us."
"Hmm."
As he said this, Li He kissed her, forcefully pulling off her wedding dress and pressing her onto the bed.
Kissing her skin inch by inch.
Song Wanqiu silently endured Li He’s kisses, looking at the cracked ceiling without any desire, her eyes filled with disgust and hatred.
Lin Zhiyi, it’s your turn to taste the bitterness of a ruined reputation.
...
When Lin Zhiyi woke up in the morning, Gong Chen was no longer in bed. She propped herself up and saw a complete set of women’s clothes hanging on the coat rack.
She still had to go to the studio today, and there definitely wasn’t enough time to go back and change.
And it wasn’t appropriate to wear a bridesmaid’s dress to work either.
Getting out of bed and picking up the clothes, suddenly something fell out from them.
Underwear.
Lin Zhiyi quickly picked it up with a guilty conscience and then stuffed it into the clothes.
Who wants his interference!
After changing into the clothes, Lin Zhiyi walked out of the room.
Gong Chen was sitting on the sofa looking at some documents, he glanced up at her.
"Woke up? It fits quite well."
"Mhm."
Chen Jin anxiously stood up to explain, "Miss Lin, actually..."
But Lin Zhiyi didn’t want to hear it and turned to leave.
Chen Jin helplessly looked towards Gong Chen, "Sorry, Third Young Master."
Gong Chen waved his hand dismissively and coldly turned towards the bodyguard who had barged in.
"What is it?"
"Well... Li He has booked tickets for Christmas Day," the bodyguard stammered.
Chen Jin frowned, "So Song Wanqiu is admitting defeat and fleeing?"
Gong Chen lit a cigarette and casually tossed the lighter onto the table.
"No."
...
Lin Zhiyi entered the studio in a daze.
Just as she sat down, a colleague immediately handed her a freshly bought coffee, their gaze towards her much kinder than before.
"Zhiyi, sorry about earlier, we were also deceived by Song Wanqiu, had no idea she was that kind of person."
"It’s fine."
Lin Zhiyi gladly accepted their olive branch.
Continuing to work together with a bad relationship would be more detrimental to her.
Seeing her drink the coffee, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went back to their work.
Lin Zhiyi stared at the computer, feeling suffocated when thinking about Gong Chen secretly protecting Song Wanqiu.
Before today, she had seen Gong Chen tearing apart Song Wanqiu’s hypocrisy, and she even thought that perhaps everything in her life had changed.
She was wrong!
Horrifically wrong!
All of this was just an illusion!
His heart was still biased towards Song Wanqiu.
Indeed, if he hadn’t loved Song Wanqiu deeply enough to carve it into his bones, how could he have personally signed the papers for their daughter’s fatal surgery?
Lin Zhiyi couldn’t summon the energy to work all morning.
After enduring until the end of work, she went to the restroom to wash her face. When she came out, she saw someone waiting for her in the studio lobby.
"Zhiyi, long time no see."
