It wasn't until she arrived at the hospital that she found out her grandfather's ward had been upgraded to a VIP single room. The luxurious facilities in the ward looked somewhat ironic. "Mom."

  "Yao Yao, you're here. Let's go talk outside." Luo Mama glanced at Grandpa who was still unconscious and anxiously led her out of the ward: "Your grandpa's condition has stabilized, he'll have surgery in three days. As for that money... tomorrow I'll transfer your grandpa to a regular ward, so you... your boyfriend left 2 million, at least we can return 800,000 to him first."

  Boyfriend? "Mom, he... how did he tell you?"

  "Ah, ah, it was his assistant who sent the money. I didn't see him." As she said this, Luo's mother couldn't help but burst into tears and tightly hugged Yao Yao in her arms: "Yao Yao, Mom...Mom is sorry to you, sorry to you!"

  The sobbing voice was filled with a deep sense of guilt. Luomama, having been through similar experiences herself, had vaguely sensed something when the assistant handed over the money that day. However, her father's illness couldn't be delayed any further, so she still accepted the money. Yet in her heart, she felt extremely indebted to her daughter.

  "Mom... mom! I, I don't understand what you mean, why are you saying sorry to me?" She pushed away her mother's embrace and tried to put on a happy face: "I've actually been with him for a long time, he's very good to me, really good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent money to treat grandpa's illness, would he?"

  "Yao Yao, don't say anything more. You're Mom's daughter, doesn't Mom know you? Anyway, remember that if you're not happy, don't force yourself for the sake of money. Mom will work hard to return that money to that man even if she has to sell all her belongings!"

  Nothing can surpass the tacit understanding between a mother and daughter. Luo's mom knew her daughter's personality too well, she had been sacrificing herself to make others happy since she was very young, until now, Luo's mom could still see that her daughter wanted to use forced smiles to dispel her own worries, but she could only watch and couldn't help her daughter in any way!

  After saying goodbye to her mother, Yoyo took a taxi back home and as soon as she arrived at the door...

  "Miss Luo, I've been waiting for you here for a long time, and you're finally back."

  "Who is she? She's Feng Chenyi's secretary, isn't her name Lisa or something? 'What can I do for you?'"

  "This is what our boss asked me to give you. And he said, apologize for what happened this afternoon." As she spoke, Lisa handed a check over to Yaya.

  In an instant, she felt a little dizzy in her mind and couldn't understand... couldn't understand what Feng Chenyi was going to do.

  Meeting is hurt; finally decided to cut off, but he always gave her new hope. Does he know or not that putting down a feeling is so difficult; but picking it up again only takes... an instant...

  Tears as big as a fist fell one by one, she didn't know what kind of mood to use to accept this belated check. If, if this check had come earlier; and if he hadn't said those words in the office, maybe she wouldn't have...

  It's too late, everything is already too late...

  The checks in her hand slowly turned into a pile of snowflakes, and with a flick of her wrist, they fluttered up towards the sky. The delicate snowflakes gently fell down, just like her heart that had been shattered by Feng Chenyi's words, now lay in tatters...

  Back in that quiet villa, she pushed open the door to the master bedroom on the second floor. The man was half-reclining on the bed and beckoned her over with a crook of his finger: "Come here."

  With heavy steps, Yao walked mechanically to the bedside and was about to lie down when Yu Ao Tian pulled her into his arms.

  "Hmm."

  Fiery lips carried a domineering oath of sovereignty, icy hands stripped away her clothes one by one.

  Exposed in the air, her snow-white body trembled with fear, the man's soft lips slowly nibbling along her neck...

  "Mmm." She clenched her eyes shut, her small hand forming a tight fist. Like a piece of dead wood, she lay there quietly, allowing the man to do as he pleased.

  Her icy fingers slid down her flat abdomen. She trembled slightly, and her legs, which had been subconsciously clenched together, immediately relaxed.

  For such 'cooperation', Yu Ao Tian was obviously very dissatisfied. His face sank and he flipped over and got out of bed.

  Is it over? Can it be over? Yao Yao tentatively opened her eyes, looking at Yu Ao Tian who was standing by the bed with a puzzled expression.

  "Baby, you're really weird. When we didn't have a relationship, you were like a drowned rat; now that we do, you don't react at all. I can only assume that your shameless body prefers to be played with by strange men?"

  "Hey!" She pulled the quilt over herself and sat up angrily: "Yu Ao Tian, you've already won, why do you have to use this kind of talk to mock me?"

  Did he win? Ha, if it weren't for her grandfather's illness, she would have come to him automatically. Although Yu Ao Tian is not a person who particularly cares about the process, but for such a victory, he indeed didn't feel any pleasure.

  "Are you kidding me? Ah, I'm just telling you, since you've become my mistress, you should behave like one!" Half-kneeling on the bed, his hand suddenly pinched her small face, and his handsome yet sinister face slowly approached hers: "Little thing, if you want to spend the next three years in peace, you'd better accept your identity. Otherwise... these three years I'll make you live a life worse than death!" The moment he released his hand, he coldly turned around: "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, I'm leaving first." Dropping this sentence, he slammed the door and left.

  But his words, like the god of death, echoed in Yao's ears, lingering for a long time. Now, she was even more suspicious that she had made a contract with the devil.

  With tears and humiliation, she slowly lay down on the bed, wondering if the nightmare would pass after a sleep...

  The next morning.

  "Your Honor, the contract with Oting Company yesterday afternoon has been delivered."

  "Your Excellency, I have completed the tasks you assigned last night." As soon as Yu Ao Tian entered the company, a large number of high-level executives followed him, waiting for the elevator while reporting on yesterday's unfinished work.

  The elevator door opened, and Yao Yao's heart was racing when she saw Yu Ao Tian outside the elevator as well as many high-ranking executives of the company.

  This was still her first day facing Ou Ao Tian as his lover, and she felt a hundred times more nervous than when they had met before. She was afraid that others would find out about their underground relationship, so she deliberately lowered her head.

  Yu Ao Tian outside the door seemed to sense her tension and deliberately chose a position closest to her to stand down.

  At this moment, Yao could clearly feel the body temperature of the overbearing man behind her.

  "Director, the annual reports of several subsidiaries of Bossen have been released. I've already handed them over to Secretary Mo."
