They had been married for four years and had a three-year-old daughter, yet Jing Xuyan had barely ever seen Shen Shiqing.
When she unexpectedly got pregnant, she said they should get married. There was no proper proposal.
When she went into premature labor, Shen Shiqing was away on a business trip. She only came back after their child had been sent to the incubator.
When the hospital issued a critical condition notice for their daughter, Shen Shiqing signed it, then immediately opened her computer and started a work meeting.
Even when Jing Xuyan was diagnosed with severe postpartum depression, Shen Shiqing merely calmly contacted a hospital overseas and sent her out of the country.
Jing Xuyan had always known Shen Shiqing had a cherished first love. A photo was tucked inside the blank notebook in her study, and Jing Xuyan had stumbled across it by accident.
After spending three and a half years abroad and earning her master's degree, Jing Xuyan decided to return home.
The first thing she would do after returning: get a divorce. She absolutely had to divorce.
After the divorce, Shen Shiqing seemed like a different person.
She wasn't in a hurry to sign contracts anymore. She didn't mind moving the signing to the evening so she could spend time with Jing Xuyan and their daughter.
She was no longer busy with work, and would drop by Jing Xuyan's doctoral campus from time to time.
She stopped arranging business trips, showing up on time every weekend with their daughter.
When she learned that a first-year student who rode a Ducati was pursuing Jing Xuyan relentlessly, the usually low-key Shen Shiqing went even further. The next day, she drove her dusty Cullinan from the garage to campus. Apparently, she thought it looked too old-fashioned, because on the third day, Shen Shiqing switched to a flashier Ferrari.
Jing Xuyan pulled the attention-stealing Shen Shiqing into a corner of the campus.
"She's only eighteen. Why are you competing with a kid?"
"She's only eight years younger than you."
"Exactly, eight years younger. She's a kid."
"You're also eight years younger than me."
"..."
"You're shameless."

Suppressants didn't work on Shen Shiqing. She was an alpha who couldn't control herself during heat.
Before they divorced, Jing Xuyan had once come across Shen Shiqing in heat.
She would lock herself up in a room.
The metal handcuffs chafed Shen Shiqing's wrists raw, leaving two dark marks on her pale skin.
She was suffering so much she was nearly out of her mind, yet hid her injured wrists behind her back and forced out, "I'm fine."
Even though the corners of her eyes were red.
After they remarried, Jing Xuyan found the handcuffs Shen Shiqing used to restrain herself. "How about we try these?"
Shen Shiqing locked the handcuffs around Jing Xuyan's wrist. "Sure."
The next day, Jing Xuyan looked at the red marks on her wrist and kicked Shen Shiqing, who was still asleep beside her. "You really are shameless."

Next novel: The Player Meets a Drama Queen
Pei Zhiyi was the sole heir to the Pei family of Jiangcheng. She had a serious illness as a child, and after that her parents stopped demanding that she amount to anything. They just wanted her to enjoy herself.
For the first twenty-five years of her life, Pei Zhiyi had it made. She had money and free time, beautiful women constantly at her side, and had tried every kind of indulgence.
Just before her twenty-sixth birthday, her usually open-minded parents suddenly made a demand: she had to get engaged to the Lin family's daughter.
Pei Zhiyi wouldn't give in so easily. She stopped going home and began living an even more "debauched" life, declaring war on her parents.
At Lies Bar in Jiangcheng, her friends knew she was in a bad mood and brought over a bunch of women to drink with her and cheer her up.
Among them was one girl who was more reserved than the others. A few words of coaxing made her cheeks flush and her eyes well up. Pei Zhiyi found her interesting and took her home that night.
The girl was timid. The slightest sternness made her bury her face against someone's shoulder and sob. She was so wet it didn't seem real.
The girl had an angelic face, delicate shoulders, and a slender waist. She drew Pei Zhiyi in until she couldn't pull herself away.
The girl was sensitive by nature. When jealousy struck, even Pei Zhiyi's childhood friends could make her feel slighted.
Their friends all said the girl was too high-maintenance and had too many flaws. Pei Zhiyi would get sick of her sooner or later.
But Pei Zhiyi loved every minute of it. She adored the girl and came up with new ways to coax her every day.
On the eve of her birthday, Pei Zhiyi took the girl home.
To her surprise, the girl turned out to be the fiancée her parents had chosen for her.
The engagement party went smoothly, and the wedding followed soon after.
Pei Zhiyi willingly married Lin Zhiyu and gave her property, luxury cars, jewelry, and shares.
The day after the wedding banquet, Pei Zhiyi woke up to find the bed beside her empty. There was a letter on the bedside table.
At the same time, Pei Zhiyi received a video from a friend overseas.
Her new wife was on the beach at that very moment, chatting and laughing with another woman. Her eyes were full of smugness, and her every gesture radiated mature allure.
[Short scene]
After they married, Lin Zhiyu seemed like a different person, seamlessly turning into a workaholic. And she was working for the Pei family, so Pei Zhiyi couldn't complain at all.
On the seventeenth day of her wife's absence because of work, Pei Zhiyi came up with a dirty trick. She asked a friend to take pictures of her acting intimate with someone else and send them to Lin Zhiyu, claiming she was drunk and needed Lin Zhiyu to pick her up.
But Lin Zhiyu called a driver instead, sounding completely indifferent.
Pei Zhiyi returned home dejected and pushed open the door. The house was pitch-black.
Just as she was about to turn on the lights, a cold female voice rang out from the darkness.
"Get over here."
