He didn't approach any further, but hoarsely said to me, "A Jin, I know I was wrong in this matter. But could you give me another chance for the sake of our years of friendship? I promise I won't make the same mistake again." 0
 
"Heh." I let out a bitter laugh as I looked at him and said, "Lin Han, if you loved me, you wouldn't sleep with other women. Even a dog knows this simple truth; how can you not understand?" 0
 
"A Jin..." He tried to say something more, but I interrupted him. 0
 
"Lin Han." Tears streamed down my face as I looked at him and said, "Do you know? You are the person I hate the most! Because you always give me endless hope, only to bring me despair!" 0
 
"A Jin..." He reached out to take my hand, but I shook him off forcefully. 0
 
I wiped away my tears and turned to run out the door. 0
 
"A Jin!" Lin Han called after me. 0
 
But I didn't look back... 0
 
Later, I learned that the child was born to Lin Han's mistress. 0
 
But that mistress was not willing. 0
 
She had been forced upon Lin Han by his mother! 0
 
At that moment, I realized that from the very beginning, I had been the one who was manipulated... 0
 
Chapter 2 0
Today, at the invitation of Meng Family Young Lady, I was to attend her birthday banquet. 0
 
I sat in the carriage and lifted the curtain to look outside, only to see Lin Han's carriage in front of an inn. 0
 
He got out of the carriage, and then a boy of about five or six ran towards him. 0
 
"Daddy!" 0
 
Lin Han picked him up with a beaming smile. 0
 
Then, a woman stood at the door, smiling gently as she watched them. 0
 
 
She spoke softly, " Fu'er, don't tire your father." 0
 
The boy smiled and nodded, "I know, Mother." 0
 
The three of them laughed as they entered the inn. 0
 
I sat in the carriage, watching their receding figures, feeling like a thief peeking at happiness. 0
 
My heart ached painfully, and even breathing felt somewhat difficult. 0
 
So it was true after all. 0
 
When I returned to the Lin Residence, I felt weighed down. 0
 
I neither ate nor drank, spending the entire day lying in bed. 0
 
In the evening, Lin Han returned. 0
 
Hearing that I was unwell, he hurried back to the room. 0
 
"Wen Jin," he gently nudged me, "what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" 0
 
I ignored him. 0
 
He then turned to my accompanying maid, Yao Dong, and asked, "What happened to your young lady?" 0
 
Yao Dong glanced at him but remained silent. 0
 
Lin Han's expression darkened: "I'm asking you a question!" 0
 
Yao Dong trembled in fear and quickly knelt down, "Groom, please forgive me; I... I don't know." 0
 
"Don't know, don't know," Lin Han said as he looked at her. "I thought you were capable, but it turns out you're useless!" 0
 
As he spoke, he reached out to grab Yao Dong, but I stopped him with a swift motion. 0
 
 
"Lin Han," I said, looking at him. "What are you doing?" 0
 
Upon hearing me speak, Lin Han let go of his grip. 0
 
He looked at me and asked, "A Jin, has this girl upset you?" 0
 
I remained silent, simply turning my head to the side. 0
 
"A Jin," he said again, pulling me into his embrace, his voice softening. "If you truly dislike this girl, I can find you someone else..." 0
 
Yao Dong is my maidservant. 0
 
She is loyal to me and treats me sincerely. 0
 
She is the only person who cares for me apart from my family. 0
 
How could I allow others to bully her? 0
 
"Lin Han," I replied coolly, "Yao Dong hasn't done anything wrong. The one at fault is you!" 0
 
"A Jin," Lin Han looked at me in confusion. "Where have I gone wrong?" 0
