It was already 12 o'clock at night by the time Yuexi reached home by the taxi. It was eerily quiet with not a single soul nearby.

Usually, Yuexi wasn't afraid of nights, but tonight she couldn't help but speed up when she felt a chill run down her spine.

The trees along the road were dark and seemed blurred. With a gust of wind blowing her hair upright, she felt someone following her step by step.

Her heart skipped a beat up and sped up again. Finally, Yuexi arrived at her doorstep. She cautiously glanced around through the dim street lights. It was quiet with occasional gust of wind ruffling the leaves of the trees. She gulped and swept out the key to open the door.

When she was about to open the door, suddenly a pair of hands held her arm from behind.

"Ah!" Needless to say, Yuexi was a bundle of nerves, and when someone suddenly touched her from behind, she was so scared that she almost passed out.

"It's me." A familiar and cold voice came from behind.

Looking back, it was actually Li Fengjue.

Yuexi looked at him in shock. After a while, when she came to herself, she admonished him, "Are you nuts Do you want to scare people to death!"

He squinted his eyes as turbid emotions flashed through them. He looked at her coldly, before saying, " Do you even know how to be scared? Didn't you eat with colleagues? You even secretly went to see Xu Linchen. You do have courage, don’t you?"

As he spoke, the strength of his hand increased. Yuexi tried to remove her hand from his grip but to no avail, "You let me go first. He left something behind, so I just went to return it to him!"

Li Fengjue's eyes dimmed and he raised his eyebrows, "Why do you have his belongings with you?"

Unable to break free, Yuexi suddenly raised her eyes and snarled, "He has a thing for me and wants me to be his mistress. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

As expected, Li Fengjue's face became gloomier and gloomier, as his deep eyes flashed with anger, "You agreed?"

Glancing at him, Yuexi raised her chin, "It has nothing to do with you. It turns out that I, Bai Yuexi, can live without you! So many men want me, and you are just one of those thousands of men! "

Yuexi deliberately stressed the last three words.

Li Fengjue looked down at the woman's stubborn eyes. A scorching heat flashed through his eyes, as he suddenly leaned down. His kiss was no longer gentle and soft but was aggressive as if he wanted to possess her.

"Hmm ...". Soon Yuexi was out of breath. She pushed him hard to no avail then grabbed his arm to balance herself.

It was only after a while that Li Fengjue unwilling let her go and said in a deep voice, "You can be my mistress. I will give you one million a month, be my mistress."

Yuexi pushed him away, "Do you think money can do everything?"

"Then you……"

"I went to see him today, but the main purpose was to lay the foundation for my future revenge. So don't keep questioning me endlessly, Ok?"

After saying this, she turned to push the door in, but her wrist was caught again.

"Don’t betray yourself for revenge!"

. Li Fengjue was truly furious. Yuexi stared back at him for a few seconds, , before saying mockingly, "Do you really treat yourself as my husband? Are you jealous now?"

Li Fengjue froze for a moment, then he released her hand, regaining his usual calmness. "How could I be jealous for you."

Yuexi shrugged, raised the corners of her lips. "That's good. Then I have no qualms to play with the Xu brothers’ feelings."

When she was done speaking, she pushed the door and walked in. She closed the door gently and waited for a while. When she didn’t hear anything from outside, she put her bag down, went to the bathroom, and took off her clothes to take a bath.

She was putting shower gel on her body when the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.

When she saw Li Fengjue walk in languidly, Yuexi’s brain went blank. She stared at him incredulously for a few seconds before screaming at him

"Ah! Li Fengjue, you pervert, how did you get in? I remember I changed the lock!" She quickly covered her private parts with her hands, while subconsciously wanted to reach out for her clothes.

Li Fengjue raised the key in his hand and shook it in the air for her, whilst pulling the door in with his heel. The door was closed again.

He then walked up to Yuexi, stretched out his hand to gather the wet hair on her forehead, his eyes are full of lust, "I admit I was jealous, I just want to have you alone."

"You ..." Yuexi was about to speak, when her mouth was blocked by his soft lips. Li Fengjue's one hand grabbed both of her hands while his other hand flexibly explored all over her body.

"Make me satisfied, and I will help you get your revenge. You can get back everything you want."

His kissed her even more aggressively and possessively. It felt like he wished to rub the woman in his arms into his body. His flexible fingers touched her smooth skin, as he pressed her against the wall, and raising her leg high.

After a fierce sex in the bathroom, Yuexi was carried to the bed by him.. Li Fengjue pecked her on lips before holding her in his arms to sleep.

Despite being exhausted, Yuexi didn't feel sleepy as the familiar smell of the man's body wafted around her nose. This was not the first time they had sex. But this time she felt something was different Was it because he said those sweet nothings to her?

He said he was jealous, but he did not say that he loved her.

Does he love me? As she thought so, Yuexi sneered at herself. How could a man like Li Fengjue love her?

Perhaps it was because of the marriage certificate. After all, she was still his wife on paper, so he doesn’t want other men to get involved with his nominal woman?

Yuexi couldn't figure it out. Her heart was heavy, as if something wass pressing on it.

She lifted her head head to look at him. His sleeping face wass quiet and soft. When sleeping this man was completely different, like a pure angel.

She wanted to touch his face, butthe momen her hand was about to touch his cheek, she stopped.

What was she doing? Why was she acting as if they were a real beloved couple?

She quickly withdrew her hand and turned her back to him, trying to calm down her mood.

“We are from different worlds. He has someone in his heart, and my heart is not fixed. We are unlikely to be together.” Yuexi comforted herself and repeated those words over and over again, as if she was self-hypnosising.

After a night of lingering passion, the relationship between the two returned to the former calm state. Li Fengjue moved in with her. They kept silent about their previous cold war between them as if they never had a conflict.

Yuexi was still busy every day. There were still many people in the company who spread rumors about her.

Just when she stepped into the office door, she heard Qian Jing talking bad things about her. Qian Jing’s voice was high enough to make Yuexi hear it.

"How do you think Bai Yuexi can have such a horrible huge sale, just by sleeping!"

She was saying so seriously as if she was talking about the truth with her eyes full of scorn.

"I heard that the boss is going to promote her to be the department manager. It seems that Liu Chen's position can't be guaranteed." Some people echoed with regret and jealousy.

"A woman like her, sleeping her way into success, is the same as Chen Ying! As the saying goes, the crows in the world are generally black, and the slut likes to get close to sluts.”

Yuexi originally intended to pretend deaf about this, but when she heard Qian Jing slandering Chen Ying, she suddenly turned around and walked over. Several people who were engaged in the discussion were shocked by her arrival and turned to look at her.

Glancing at them, Yuexi curled up the corners of her mouth and mocked, "It turns out that the crows in the world are generally black. Sluts like to get close to sluts."
