Chapter 1

The first workday after returning from my annual leave, I drank too much coffee and urgently needed the restroom.

Someone followed me in!

"Ah... ooh!"

Before I could react, a large, well-defined hand had covered my mouth!

A chill ran through my heart; I've run into a pervert, about to be OOXX!

Won't it be assault first then murder?

I'm still a blooming flower of the nation!

My body twisted, ready to fight for my life.

Then a charming and magnetic male voice sounded from behind my neck.

"Sister, compared to shouting 'help,' I think your voice when you shout 'I want it' is more captivating."

With the voice, a waft of warm breath brushed against my skin.

Tingly, slightly itchy.

But my heart grew even more panicked!

This is a disaster!

How did he find me?

Trembling, I turned my head, and sure enough, I saw those bright eyes.

Familiar yet strange.

I clamped my mouth shut; I really didn't dare to shout "help."

Of course, nor would I shamelessly shout "I want it."

Because I'm the one at fault here!

Now the wronged party has come looking for me!

It all started a week ago.

I've been dating Qi Kai for 3 years, and we were at the stage of discussing marriage.

I'm an independent woman and have never expected to burden a man with all life's responsibilities.

I was willing to work together for the family, including buying a house.

So, out of the 600,000 down payment for the house, 200,000 was mine, which I had saved over the years.

Qi Kai praised me for being sensible, saying what more could a husband ask for?

Even the future mother-in-law smiled and said it was the Qi Family's good karma!

Finding such an understanding daughter-in-law as me.

Appearances can be deceiving!

On the day I saw the property deed, it felt like a bucket of cold water was dumped on my head!

Only Qi Kai's name was on it!

Even though I contributed 200,000 to the down payment, legally, the house had nothing to do with me!

In my furious questioning, I finally understood the disgusting maneuvering of the Qi Family!

My 200,000 was not used for the down payment but all for renovations.

So Mrs. Qi, with righteous indignation, said the money for buying the house came from our Qi Family, doesn't it make sense that your name, Nie Qing, isn't there?

In a fit of anger, I took annual leave and went on vacation.

I arrived in Lijiang, famously known as the City of Romantic Encounters.

My intention was just to relax, not to have an affair, but by a twist of fate, I ended up forcibly spending the night with a young stud.
