"Because of you, he has left. Stop pretending to care about me and just get lost. Your pretence is getting on my nerves," Wen Min said angrily. Before Pei Yan could speak further, she quickly stood up and headed towards Shui Shui's table.

When she saw Zihua talking with them from afar, she wanted to turn back, but before she could decide, she noticed that Zihua has left their table.

​​

"I bet Shui Shui must have given him a piece of her mind," Wen Min said, smiling as she continued approaching Shui Shui's table.

"Hello, lovebirds. I knew I would find you both in the darkest part of this hall. I can't believe I was right again this time," Wen Min said, sitting opposite the couple.

"We are this way because Fei is afraid of hurting my reputation by revealing our relationship to the public. I wonder how long he will keep worrying about me," Shui Shui said, throwing him an accusing gaze.

Just then Zhao Liying seized their moment of distraction to approach Shiyi, who was standing alone with a glass of wine in his hands.

"All alone crying over your pain?" Zhao Liying asked, as though she cared about his pains.

"It's you again!" Shiyi exclaimed, angry to see the lady who dared to blackmail him a few days ago. His anger for her rekindled in a flash.

"Yeah, it's me again, the only person who cares so much about your feelings. The only one who hates seeing you in pain," Zhao Liying said, smiling at him. She stood beside. She quickly followed his line of sight to see what he was so engrossed staring at that he could not feel his presence before she spoke.

"You care about my feelings, do you think I am a fool?" Shiyi asked, not sparing her a glance.

"Something evil always accompanies you wherever you go. So, stay away from me," Shiyi said, trying to leave, but Zhao Liying turned around and stopped him from leaving.

"What do you think you are doing?" Shiyi asked angrily as he stared daggers at her.

"Not so fast. I have a gift for you. You can go after listening to what I have to say," Zhao Liying said smiling as she tried to touch his chest but Shiyi held her hands before it could reach his chest.

"I am not interested in whatever gift you have so, just leave my way. Don't let me use violence on you or you will regret it," Shiyi said, taking a glance at the different directions his friends were to see whether they were staring at him. Shiyi became a bit relieved when he saw that all of them were all busy with their partners.

"Hey, don't say that or you will forever regret not hearing what my gift is about," Zhao Liying said maintaining her smiling face.

"I will regret nothing because I am sure you have nothing good to offer me," Shiyi said sternly. His grip around her right wrist tightened as he spoke.

"I am certain, you will," Zhao Liying said firmly. Shiyi stared at her for a few seconds, not knowing what to do to get her off his sight. He has never used violence on any woman before, no matter how annoying the lady before him was, he did not want to resort to violence.

"I saw you staring at Yang Zi and Feng acting lovey-dovey earlier. You were so engrossed staring at them, that is why you did not feel my presence. What would you say if I tell you I can make your long-time dream come true tonight?" Zhao Liying asked, masking her anxiety.

I wish he will grab my bait. If he does, my job will become much easier.

Zhao Liying thought, smiling awkwardly at him.

"What do you think is my long time wish and how will you make that possible?" Shiyi asked, letting go of her hand.

Yes! This is it!

Zhao Liying thought in excitement.

Zhao Liying quickly opened her purse and brought out a small white bottle containing a white sparkling liquid. If not for the label that read APHRODISIAC on it, one would have mistaken it for a harmless liquid.

"Your biggest dream has always been to have her to yourself and look at what I have with me. With this content, you will have her all to yourself tonight. You don't have to worry about Feng and the others. I already made an elaborate plan on how to sort out everything. All you should worry about is how to satisfy your wild little lover in bed throughout the night," Zhao Liying said, passing the bottle to Shiyi after making sure that nobody was staring at them.

Shiyi collected the white substance with trembling hands. A million questions ran through his mind as he stared at the liquid.

"Shiyi, if our plan is successful tonight, we will use this against her and make her leave Feng's side, and when that happens, we will both get what we have always wanted. Our lovers will be back in our arms once again. Isn't that a flawless plan?" Zhao Liying asked, giggling.

Yes, I will have Zi Er all to myself tonight if I feed her with this aphrodisiac, but what will happen after the effect of the drug wears off? How will she feel when she realised that she spent the night with her childhood best friend?

How will my Zi Er feel when she realises that the one she loved and trusted for so many years betrayed her love and trust?

Yes, I will be happy making love to the woman I have always dreamt of having in my arms, but will I still be happy after the truth of my betrayal is revealed? Will seeing Zi Er's heart torn apart because of my actions make me happy?

What about auntie, Shui Shui, Xiaofei, Wen Min, Feng, Jin, mum and everyone who loves and trusts me, what will they think of me when they learn the truth? Auntie will be torn apart. She will cry her eyes out and Shui Shui, she will hit me so many times until there is no longer any strength left in her.

Wen Min! She will stay very far away from me. She will never want to have anything to do with a rapist and betrayer like me.

Mum, Jin, Xiaofei and Feng will never forgive me.

Is one night of pleasure really worth me sacrificing everyone that has ever loved me? Is it worth all the pain it will bring to all those I love?

"Hey, why do you look like some moron? I know you aren't as innocent as you look so, stop pretending. We will all get what we both wanted in the end so you should be happy," Zhao Liying said, trying to hide how annoyed she was to see Shiyi acting so reluctant to do what she instructed.
