Chapter One

[Zhao Chen, you know I still haven't gotten over this mentally, can you wait for me a little longer, alright?]

Looking at Xia Wan, who stood before me with her fair skin and delicate features, I was in a daze.

I was reborn, reborn to the time just after marrying Xia Wan.

On the night of the wedding, Xia Wan said she didn't want to consummate the marriage because she almost got assaulted before.

I understood because I was the one who went to save Xia Wan, and I almost died at the hands of those thugs.

But only after my death did I learn that Xia Wan and Yang Hai already had a daughter!

She said that to me on our wedding night because she wanted to stay chaste for Yang Hai!

[Alright, then you can stay in the guest room tonight.]

With an indifferent face, I walked straight into the bathroom, not noticing Xia Wan's stunned expression.

The sound of running water drowned out my thoughts.

Xia Wan and I grew up together. In my previous life, when the Xia Family company went bankrupt, I invested a large sum to bring it back to life.

Yet, from Xia Wan's mouth, I was using my kindness to demand repayment!

I became the villain who broke her and Yang Hai apart!

So Xia Wan brought her and Yang Hai's daughter to live with us, lying to me that the child was an orphan!

I understood Xia Wan's psychological barriers weren't easy to overcome, so I treated both of them like treasures.

But after my death, mother and daughter couldn't wait to inherit my estate and return to Yang Hai's side!

Since Xia Wan doesn't want it, I won't give anything to the Xia Family in this life.

After taking a shower, I came out to find that Xia Wan hadn't left.

Xia Wan held my hand worriedly.

[Ah Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you in a bad mood?]

I withdrew my hand and indifferently wiped the water from my hair, not even glancing at Xia Wan's feigned gentle demeanor.

[It's fine, I'm okay.]

As soon as the words left my mouth, Xia Wan's phone rang.

[There's something at the company; I need to go there for a bit. Ah Chen, you go to sleep first.]

Without bothering to probe my sudden change in mood, Xia Wan immediately headed out.

I knew it was Yang Hai contacting her!

Yang Hai was Xia Wan's first love, with parents who were both gamblers, and he was a thug himself.

Yet, this rotten man captivated Xia Wan deeply.

Xia Wan skipped classes again and again and lied time after time.

The two were entangled for three years, breaking up and getting back together too many times to count.

It wasn't until the Xia Family was about to go bankrupt that she broke up with Yang Hai and married me.

I thought she had let Yang Hai go, but I didn't expect her and Yang Hai to still be tangled, making me wear a green hat!

In the past life, under Xia Wan's maneuvering, the current Yang Hai had entered my family's company as a manager.

The two frequently met under the guise of work, and I knew nothing about it!

This life, I will not let these two despicable people have a good time!
