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