The night was dark.

On the masterfully crafted large bed, a man and woman were deeply entwined together.

The ambiguous and shadowy figures were reflected on the wall.

Shen Ruoxi lay on the soft bed, forced to endure everything.

Her gaze at the man before her was affectionate and longing...

The man's features were sharp and perfect, with a Roman nose, and he had a pair of extremely attractive eyes and deep, icy pupils.

That indifferent and unheated gaze stung Shen Ruoxi. Once, this man had only gentleness and doting for her, but now...

When Shen Ruoxi was mentally exhausted, the man forcefully slapped her buttocks.

"Turn over, get on your knees."

The man commanded in a hoarse voice, exuding an irresistible harshness.

Shen Ruoxi, with red eyes, obediently did as told.

Afterward, the lavish bed shook even more violently, and the man's breathing grew heavier...

Finally... it all ended.

The man behind her withdrew coldly.

Shen Ruoxi winced uncomfortably but didn't show any resistance. She lay on her side, looking at the man.

Ye Mubei was already dressed, in a black suit and black tie, exuding a sense of cold abstinence.

The man's eyes were indifferent, showing no trace of having just been intimate.

He opened the bedside drawer, took out a box of contraceptive pills, and threw them at Shen Ruoxi's face.

"Take the medicine, don't cause me trouble."

Shen Ruoxi felt her cheek burn as if she had been slapped.

"Don't worry, Young Master Ye, I've been with you for ten years, I understand everything."

She laughed mockingly at herself, took out a pill, and swallowed it down with a hard chew.

The bitter taste spread all the way through her, making Shen Ruoxi's heart feel sour.

Ye Mubei coldly watched her, his face devoid of any expression.

The woman in his sight was almost the same as six years ago, with pale, tender skin; pink lips; and moist eyes that seemed untainted by a single impurity.

Only her expression carried a deeper sorrow, stirring pity.

Ye Mubei subconsciously raised his hand to smooth the woman's frown, but remembering everything that had happened, he withdrew his hand.

The man was silent for a long time before he spoke with a cold and composed tone.

"I'm getting married."

Shen Ruoxi's delicate body shuddered violently, and her eyes slowly reddened.

She lowered her gaze, pretending not to care, "Hmm, congratulations."

She knew that this man was going to get married.

Today was his engagement ceremony with another woman. She had thought he wouldn't come again, but he had arrived in the dead of night, pushed her down with impatience, and took her forcefully.

More forcefully than before...

Shen Ruoxi took a deep breath and made a firm decision.

"I will move out of here tomorrow, but..."

Her eyes beseeched the man, "But could you tell me where my brother is? He's been missing for six years..."

Before she could finish, the man's eyes darkened with rage, and his hands clenched into fists filled with deep hatred.

Ye Mubei's large frame loomed over her, his hand gripping Shen Ruoxi's chin brutally.

"Shen Ruoxi, who gave you the courage to ask these questions!"

"The fact that I've allowed you to live these past six years is already the greatest mercy!"

His harsh voice bore a powerful oppressive force, his eyes filled with loathing that cut deep into Shen Ruoxi.

"Ye Mubei..."

The man did not give her a chance to speak further, and with a wave of his hand, Shen Ruoxi was thrown to the side.

When she lifted her head again, her forehead had a large gash, constantly bleeding.

It hurt.

But her heart hurt even more.

Shen Ruoxi held her chest, tears steadily falling.

Ye Mubei truly hated her to the core, a few words were enough to infuriate him.

She was wrong to have mentioned her brother.

Ye Mubei looked at her tearful, aggrieved expression, his heart twitched with a flicker of pain. His complex gaze flashed with a hint of pity, then turned cold again.

The man didn't linger, he turned decisively and left.

Watching his resolute departure, Shen Ruoxi hugged the blankets, crying out loud.

Six years ago, it wasn't like this between her and Ye Mubei...

Six years ago, when they were still in high school, they got engaged.

Ye Mubei was sunny and handsome, the undisputed heartthrob of the school.

The Ye Family was a renowned family in City A, and the Shen Family also held a position in the business world, both of them were well-matched in social status, and they suited each other very well.

They were expected to be happy together forever, but then a fierce global financial crisis arrived. The Shen family's company was affected and on the verge of bankruptcy. Her father went to plead with Ye Mubei's father for investment and partnership, but he was refused. Soon after, her father and Ye Mubei's father were both involved in a car accident.

Ye Mubei's father died from his injuries, and her father was left in a vegetative state.

About the truth of the accident, Ye Mubei obtained a vague recording and was convinced that her father, having been refused a partnership, had malicious intent and deliberately killed his father.

She and Ye Mubei went from intimate lovers to enemies...

To make matters worse, on the night of the accident, she was photographed in bed with Ye Mubei's uncle.

Ye Mubei misunderstood her for betraying him.

A father's murder and a wife's betrayal, Ye Mubei almost experienced both on the same day.

Ye Mubei found it even harder to love her, but he was not willing to let her go.

He kept her by his side, as his secret lover.

In the quiet of the night, he would ravage her on the bed.

When emotions ran deep, she would mistakenly believe that Ye Mubei still loved her, loved her very much...

Now, six years had passed.

He was engaged again.

The serious way he announced his marriage to her, he must really love this fiancée, right?

In this life, she and he truly had no possibility...

Shen Ruoxi spoke softly to the corridor where no one could be seen anymore,

"Ye Mubei, I wish you happiness."
