Chapter 2

The man’s sharp facial features met Lin Wanli’s line of sight, and their gazes intertwined. Then, Lin Wanli thought of the fragments in her mind that night.

After she was tricked into getting drunk, she was brought to her room by a stranger. However, Ye Zhenzhen did not expect that she would grab onto an opportunity halfway. She met the man lying beside her. When her consciousness was in a mess and her body was burning, he seemed to have tried many ways to wake her up. Unfortunately, it was too uncomfortable and she eventually lost control.

So that night which should have been humiliating became the only warmth in her life of despair.

When she woke up that day, she was washing up in the bathroom. There was a contact number on the sink, but she did not call it. Although she did not lose her dignity as compared to being humiliated by a shameless man, she could not find a stranger to take responsibility. She could not use this kind of thing to burden a person who tried to “help” her.

She did not know if she was lucky or unlucky, but because of that night, Zhou Tingyang never touched her after they got married. He felt that she was too dirty.

“I…”

The man looked into her eyes as if he wanted to suck her into a boundless black hole.

“Do you want to pretend that nothing happened last night and bring my child to marry your trash childhood sweetheart?”

Lin Wanli’s almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. “How did you… know…”

After being humiliated in her previous life, Father Lin felt that she was pregnant with a child of unknown origin and felt humiliated. In the eyes of everyone, she was originally a good-for-nothing from a wealthy family. Therefore, he could not let her ruin the Lin Family’s reputation anymore, so he tricked her and Zhou Tingyang into quickly registering their marriage.

After hearing this, the man got out of bed and did not hide his body which was covered in marks. He turned on the lights, and his face finally had a silhouette under the light…

A face that people would never forget, Huo Jiuxiao! Someone who was untouchable in Jinchuan.

Despite being born in a world-class pharmaceutical company, he left her father’s family and helped his uncle run a bodyguard company. Because his partner was either rich or could not be exposed, and he liked to throw people into the sewers, the wealthy families of Jinchuan unanimously classified him as a terrifying existence.

She had always known who he was, but her pregnancy and marriage in her previous life had been too rushed. She had been deceived and schemed along the way. Only in the dead of the night would she look for news of him, imagining if she had made other choices back then, would the outcome be different.

Huo Jiuxiao had a thick face. His enlarged facial features and sharp lines made him look very masculine. Especially the deep contours of his eyes, making him look dangerous and seductive.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other. They felt that it was extremely absurd, but it also seemed logical.

“So, you’re going to make that stupid choice?”

“No.” Lin Wanli shouted sternly. Then, she got off the bed. Regardless of whether she was restrained or not, she reached out to grab the man’s hand and slowly placed it on her heart. “Help me, Huo Jiuxiao. I want this child. But if I go back to the Lin family like this, I don’t have the ability to protect her. I need your protection, and I need time to change!”

What could the good-for-nothing daughter, Lin Wanli, do when she returned to the Lin Family?

After listening to Lin Wanli’s words, Huo Jiuxiao examined her again, as if to confirm if she was telling the truth. Then, he bent down and carried her into the bathroom. He placed her in the bathtub and rinsed her with the shower.

The man’s silent help made Lin Wanli calm down a little. He did not seem to reject her.

“You’re finally a little smarter. If I take you away, the daughter of the Lin Group will go missing for two years. Are you sure you can bear this outcome?”

Lin Wanli leaned on the edge of the bathtub and widened her wet eyes. She looked at the man’s chest with a mocking expression. “Wouldn’t it be better if Lin Wanli, who no one cares about, died? And my revenge knife has to be polished beautifully.”

“Get ready. Aren’t we going to be caught in an affair?”

Lin Wanli was stunned. He seemed to know everything as if he had grasped her thoughts. Could it be that he was reborn as well?

In her previous life, when she woke up, Ye Zhenzhen had already brought Zhou Tingyang to catch her in the act. Although there was no man in the room, there were some contraceptives.

That was the most humiliating and embarrassing moment of her life, but she never thought that it was just a trap set by her best friend.

Ever since she was a child, she knew that an understanding and capable auntie had come to the Lin Family. She was divorced and had a daughter. From then on, she stayed with the Lin Family and gradually integrated into the Lin Family. From then on, she had a good sister, Ye Zhenzhen!

Of course, Huo Jiuxiao knew, but he was not reborn. He could only read minds.

A car accident many years ago seriously injured him and caused him to lose his hearing. But strangely, his world was noisier than before. The voice of the human heart always entered his ears. From then on, he never enjoyed a moment of peace.

Then, he pinched Lin Wanli’s chin and said emotionlessly, “I acknowledge the child, and as the child’s mother, I will provide you with all the help you need. But don’t have too much hope. I am a heartless person.”

This time, Lin Wanli answered seriously, “Don’t worry. From now on, there are only two things left in my life: my child and revenge.”

However, before the two of them could come out of the bathroom, the doorbell rang.

Huo Jiuxiao could not hear, but Lin Wanli suddenly tightened her grip on the edge of the bathtub.

Were they here already?
