After Fang Xiaoran had a quarrel with me, she obediently accepted the punishment. 0
 
The rumors in school escalated, and she became known as the shameless mistress who seduced a married man. 0
 
She clearly knew that there was only one Mrs. Liang, and Gao Yong had only one wife, yet she still allowed herself to get caught up in it. 0
 
Fang Xiaoran did not regret her choice; it was only when everything was made public that she realized she was not as strong as she had imagined. 0
 
She was just a mistress, an underground lover who could never see the light of day. 0
 
The school was going to punish her, and Fang Xiaoran did not resist; she knew this was what she deserved. 0
 
"Xiaoran, you've been wronged." 0
 
Gao Yong's voice was a bit hoarse, and to Fang Xiaoran's ears, it sounded incredibly sexy. 0
 
"Brother Liang, I'm fine. It's just a year off from school; it's not a big deal." 0
 
Fang Xiaoran's feigned casual tone tightened Gao Yong's heart. He couldn't help but grip his phone tightly, his fingertips turning pale from the pressure. 0
 
"Xiaoran, believe me, I will handle everything." 0
 
Gao Yong's voice was firm and powerful, carrying an irresistible charm. Fang Xiaoran softly responded with an "mm," but her heart felt bitter. 0
 
Could she trust him? 0
 
Could he really handle everything? 0
 
Fang Xiaoran didn't know; she just felt so exhausted and wanted to find a shoulder to lean on so she wouldn't feel so lonely. 0
 
In the days following Gao Yong's return, Fang Xiaoran threw all her worries aside and quietly stayed by his side. 0
 
Until that day when she accidentally overheard a conversation between Gao Yong and Ma Hui. 0
 
"Gao Yong, when are you going to get rid of that annoying thing?" 0
 
 
Ma Hui's voice carried a hint of impatience, but Gao Yong merely smiled faintly. 0
 
"Ranran, don't be anxious. She is still useful to us." 0
 
"Useful? Do you know what those people outside are saying? They say I'm the first wife and she's the second wife. When have I, Ma Hui, ever endured such humiliation!" 0
 
Ma Hui's tone grew increasingly agitated, while Gao Yong spoke calmly. 0
 
"Ranran, don't forget, she is our most important bargaining chip." 0
 
"Bargaining chip?" 0
 
"Yes, with her, we don't have to worry about Chen Zhengdong complying." 0
 
"What do you mean…" 0
 
"She enjoys playing emotional games with me, right? Then I'll play along. As long as she stays by my side, Chen Zhengdong won't dare to do anything to us." 0
 
"Gao Yong, you really are clever." 0
 
Ma Hui's tone finally softened, but Gao Yong's voice turned cold. 0
 
"However, if she wants to leave me, then she will be of no use at all." 0
 
Fang Xiaoran listened to their conversation and felt a chill run through her body. 0
 
It turned out that she was merely a tool for them to deal with her father. 0
 
It turned out that Gao Yong had never loved her. 0
 
Fang Xiaoran's heart sank to the depths. 0
 
She silently turned and left Gao Yong's study. 0
 
 
That night, Fang Xiaoran lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. 0
 
The conversation between Gao Yong and Ma Hui echoed in her mind, each word piercing her heart like a sharp knife. 0
 
She had never realized that she had been living in deception and lies all along. 0
 
Fang Xiaoran's heart was completely shattered. 0
 
She decided that she would leave Gao Yong, the man who had left her so deeply wounded. 0
 
The next day, Fang Xiaoran found Gao Yong. 0
 
"Brother Liang, let's break up." 0
 
Fang Xiaoran's voice was calm and firm, but Gao Yong's expression darkened immediately. 0
 
"Xiaoran, do you know what you're saying?" 0
 
"I know, I am very clear." 0
 
"Xiaoran, don't test my patience." 0
 
"Brother Liang, I know exactly what I'm doing, and I know what I want." 0
 
"What do you want?" 0
 
"I want a man who truly loves me and genuinely cares for me." 0
 
"Xiaoran, are you threatening me?" 0
 
"Brother Liang, I am simply stating the facts." 0
 
"Xiaoran, you should understand that I am not someone you can threaten." 0
 
 
Gao Yong's voice carried a strong warning, and Fang Xiaoran's heart trembled; she knew that Gao Yong was telling the truth. 0
 
However, she had no way out. 0
 
"Brother Liang, I'm really tired, so very tired. I don't want to go on like this." 0
 
"Xiaoran, I will give you time to think it over." 0
 
"Brother Liang, I really..." 0
 
"Alright, Xiaoran, I need to work now." 0
 
Gao Yong's tone held a hint of impatience, and Fang Xiaoran had no choice but to swallow the rest of her words. 0
 
She silently turned and left Gao Yong's office. 0
 
Once outside the office building, Fang Xiaoran felt dizzy. 0
 
She couldn't remember how she got back to her dormitory; she just felt weak all over, as if all her energy had been drained. 0
 
That night, Fang Xiaoran lay in bed, tears silently streaming down her face. 0
 
Her heart truly hurt so much. 0
 
She really wanted to give up, but she didn't dare. 0
 
She feared Gao Yong's revenge even more than she feared sinking back into his tenderness. 0
 
That night, Fang Xiaoran couldn't sleep. 0
 
The next day, she got up with heavy dark circles under her eyes. 0
 
"Xiaoran, are you okay?" 0
 
 
Looking at her roommate's concerned gaze, Fang Xiaoran forced a smile. 0
 
"I'm fine." 0
 
"Xiaoran, is there something bothering you lately?" 0
 
"I... I want to drop out." 0
 
"What?" 0
 
Her roommate's eyes widened in surprise, but Fang Xiaoran only felt incredibly tired. 0
 
"Xiaoran, what's really going on?" 0
 
"I just want to leave here, to a place where no one knows me." 0
 
"But you're about to graduate." 0
 
"I can't stay here any longer; I can't bear it for another minute." 0
 
Seeing Fang Xiaoran on the verge of breaking down, her roommate couldn't bring herself to say anything more. 0
 
"Xiaoran, since you've made your decision, I support you." 0
 
"Thank you." 0
 
Fang Xiaoran whispered her thanks, but inside she felt a pang of sorrow. 0
 
She knew she was about to start a new chapter in her life. 0
 
Fang Xiaoran acted quickly; she submitted her application to withdraw from school and then began preparing the paperwork to go abroad. 0
 
She knew her decision was sudden and irresponsible, but she truly had no other choice. 0
 
 
During the time she was waiting to go abroad, Fang Xiaoran found a part-time job. She didn't want to let herself become idle; she was afraid that she would inevitably think of Gao Yong. 0
 
However, she did not expect that danger was gradually closing in on her. 0
 
That day, she was heading home from work as usual, but halfway there, she noticed a man following her. 0
 
"Hey, beautiful, are you alone?" 0
 
"What do you want?" 0
 
"Don't be scared; I just want to be friends." 0
 
"I don't know you. Please step aside." 0
 
"Don't be so cold; I've been following you for a while now." 0
 
A lewd smile appeared on the man's face, and Fang Xiaoran's heart raced with fear. 0
 
"What... what do you want?" 0
 
"What do I want? Of course, I want you." 0
 
As the man said this, he lunged at Fang Xiaoran. She screamed and turned to run, but her legs felt weak. 0
 
She ran desperately, but the man was faster. In no time, he caught up with Fang Xiaoran. 0
 
"Don't come any closer! Help!" 0
 
"Little beauty, stop shouting; no one is coming to save you." 0
 
Saying this, the man grabbed Fang Xiaoran's arm. She struggled with all her might, but her strength was no match for his. 0
 
As she watched the man's hand reach toward her chest, she closed her eyes in despair. 0
 
 
"Let her go!" 0
 
A deep voice rang out, and Fang Xiaoran opened her eyes to see a flash of white light before the man fell to the ground. 0
 
"Are you okay?" 0
 
The man's voice was very pleasant. Fang Xiaoran looked at him and felt a pang in her nose. 0
 
"Thank you." 0
 
"No need to thank me. You should go home." 0
 
"Can I know your name?" 0
 
"My name is Li Bin." 0
 
"My name is Fang Xiaoran." 0
 
"Nice to meet you, Fang Xiaoran." 0
 
Li Bin extended his right hand towards Fang Xiaoran. She paused for a moment before extending her own right hand in return. 0
 
Li Bin's palm was broad and warm. As Fang Xiaoran held his hand, she felt a sense of reassurance. 0
 
"Thank you, Li Bin." 0
 
"You're welcome. Now, please head home." 0
 
Fang Xiaoran nodded and turned to leave, but her steps felt heavy. 0
 
She knew she owed someone another favor. 0
