Chapter 14_1

Although this place is luxurious, beautiful, and the outside scenery is enchanting, with top-notch public security, Tong Yafu was a child of misfortune, without the destiny to enjoy these luxuries. She still preferred a small house, a cozy little house with the scent of home.

Spending the night in this place, she feared that she might wake herself up from her sleep, startled in the middle of the night.

Bang—after closing the room door, Yafu walked out with relief, only to be suddenly stunned to see a man standing in the hallway, smoking. Her whole body tensed up, and the corners of her mouth began to twitch involuntarily, a sense of embarrassment creeping across her cheeks, as though she had been caught in an illicit act.

Oh my God... hadn't Ao Chi left already? What was he doing standing at the door, and smoking so much at that? Seeing the cigarette butts all over the floor, Yafu's lips tightened, her gaze fixed on his backlit silhouette, imprinting two words in her mind.

Decadent, but decadently sexy. As she watched his slightly squinted eyes, Yafu felt herself momentarily mesmerized by the man's display of desolation.

"Where are you going this late?" Ao Chi's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth as his wolf-like, profound eyes fixed tightly on Tong Yafu, making her feel uneasy all over.

Tong Yafu, nervous for a moment, showed a flash of hesitation and resolve on her face, "I am going home."

Ao Chi's face darkened further as he looked at the woman who seemed on the verge of collapse—his hands practically itching to wring her neck. "Where else do you want to go back to? Have you forgotten? You're already married," Ao Chi said grimly, taking a deep drag of his cigarette before tossing it to the ground and crushing it with force.

Tong Yafu watched Ao Chi's action, her eyes flickering slightly, and she pursed her lips.

"Yes, I am married, but it's in name only. My husband could leave me alone on our wedding night for a mission, to face all the aftermath, to endure the scolding of my mother-in-law, and the disdain of my father-in-law, while he could be gone for two years. Since that's the case, then maybe marriage for me is also just about getting a certificate?" Yafu said angrily, her hands clenched slightly.

The anger on that small face was self-evident.

Ao Chi looked at the little woman before him, feeling somewhat at a loss for her sudden outburst of anger. He felt guilty towards her, but he didn't have feelings for her, so everything didn't seem that apparent. Now that she had bluntly exposed it all, he instantly felt extremely disheveled.

"Go back." Even knowing he was at fault, the man who wouldn't soften his stance, coldly uttered a command to Tong Yafu, his tone carrying an authoritative demand.
