The implication was that they didn't spend last night together!
'Thud'
The cell phone slipped from her palm and fell onto the bed. Ji Anning stared wide-eyed, her face deathly pale.
The man last night wasn't Jingfeng, it wasn't him!
"An'an?"
After a long silence, not hearing Ji Anning's voice, Ji Jingfeng called out to her in confusion.
Ji Anning hurriedly picked up the phone and put it to her ear again, trying hard to suppress her nervousness. Still, her throat wouldn't produce any sound. She feared that speaking would reveal her nervousness and fear, and that speaking would invite Ji Jingfeng's suspicion.
It took her a long while to nod and murmur 'okay'.
Ji Jingfeng was very happy, "Then, I'll come to the hotel to pick you up, and we'll go home together."
Ji Anning was distracted and was about to agree casually when she suddenly remembered the varying depths of marks on her chest. She quickly corrected herself, "No... no need, I can go home on my own. If you're worried about Mom finding out, then I'll wait for you at the front door of the house."
"Okay..."
Ji Anning didn't catch what Ji Jingfeng said next; she sat on the bed holding her phone, lost in a daze.
It was over; last night, another man had taken her virginity. She had actually committed infidelity before her marriage.
The more Ji Anning thought about it, the more fearful and helpless she became, and tears began to roll down her cheeks.
How would she face Jingfeng in the future? How dare she marry into the Ji Family? What about her future, and her parents still recovering in a hospital in C City?
As she pondered, her emotions came flooding in like a torrent. She couldn't control herself and started to sob uncontrollably.
For eight years, she had never, never dared to cry like this. Every time she felt like crying, she would think of that arrogant young man and remember the disdain and contempt in his coldly exquisite peach blossom eyes, and she would recall the words he had said.
"Your crying proves you're weak. If you're weak, who else would they bully but you?"
As soon as Ji Anning thought of that, her crying abruptly stopped. She quickly reached up to wipe away the tears. She couldn't cry.
What she needed to do now was to leave this place as soon as possible.
She threw off the covers, got out of bed, and as her feet hit the floor and she stood up, her legs gave way. She quickly supported herself with her hands on the edge of the bed, slowly standing upright.
Her gaze unintentionally swept over the bedside table, where a pink sticky note filled with writing caught her eye. She frowned and tore it off.
"Don't think you've lost anything. Sleeping with your dried-up body was a loss for me."
"If you want to know which breast enhancement technique is the best, actually none compare to my hands! Feel free to contact me anytime for a free breast enlargement, my contact information is: 5201314520."
This arrogant rapist!
Ji Anning felt a surge of blood rise to her throat, nearly vomiting it out. Her fingers clenched tight, and she angrily crumpled the square sticky note into a wad.
...
Standing under the shower, Ji Anning scrubbed her skin raw but could never erase the traces of last night's nightmare.
As for what to do next, her mind was in utter chaos.
