Too Sweet and Obedient

From the age of eighteen to twenty-four, Shen Li was with Lu Yunfan for six years. She saw him as the only salvation and light in her life. All she ever wanted was to marry him and grow old by his side. But six years later, she finally learned the truth. When she was eighteen, he had personally exposed her, turning her overnight into the most degraded woman in the entire city of Yecheng. Some people, it turned out, were knives from the very beginning, sent only to take your life. He had never intended to marry her, either. He had long been preparing to get engaged to another woman. The night Shen Li learned everything, she ended their relationship and went straight to the man Lu Yunfan feared, the man all of Yecheng feared. Lu Yunfan’s friends all bet on how long it would take her to come crawling back and beg for forgiveness. Lu Yunfan sneered. “She’ll come back crying and begging me within three days.” But three days passed, then three more, and Shen Li was nowhere to be found. Drunk late at night, Lu Yunfan could no longer sit still. For the first time, he called her of his own accord. But when the call connected, a man’s voice came through. “Who is this? What do you want?” Lu Yunfan’s eyes turned bloodred as he ground out, “Put Shen Li on the phone!” The man lowered his head and kissed Shen Li. “She can’t come to the phone. We just finished, and she passed out. I need to kiss her awake first.”
