Yet, Jiang Yingwan felt an inexplicable fear of him. Especially when those dark, cold eyes looked at her, a chill ran down her spine. Years ago, the Jiang and Pei families had a verbal engagement. Old Madam Pei intended to betroth her to Pei Yanchen, but the two families were now unequal in social standing, and she also had someone she loved, so she actively refused the marriage. On the day of her engagement to her beloved, Pei Yanchen happened to be returning to the capital and witnessed the scene. His eyes were icy, and he did not stop her, only coldly smiling as he said to her, "Congratulations on getting your wish." Jiang Yingwan couldn't figure out his thoughts, but she was always uneasy, only hoping that the wedding would come quickly so that she could completely sever ties with the Pei family. But on the eve of the wedding, he broke into her room, pinned her to the bed, and took her virginity.
