âZhiyuan! Are you alright?â Terrified, Huo Mian immediately ran over, trying to help Ning Zhiyuan to his feet with painstaking care.
To her surprise, however, Ning Zhiyuan forcefully shoved her to the side, and she nearly fell to the ground.
âGet lost, itâs none of your business! You immoral⌠woman. Donât touch me. You make me sick.â
Huo Mianâs face was now streaked with tears. She shook her head, hurt. âI didnât, Zhiyuan. I didnât betray you. Please believe me. Those were all things that happened in the past. Itâs already over between him and me.â
âBelieve you? About what? That youâre still a virgin?â Ning Zhiyuan mocked, wiping the blood off his bottom lip.
Huo Mian looked down, her lashes veiling her eyes. She didnât reply.
âWhy arenât you saying anything? Is he wrong? Youâre not going to tell me that youâre still untouched, are you?â Ning Zhiyuan demanded, his gaze full of disdain as he glared at Huo Mian.
âNo, heâs right. I was with him seven years ago. But itâs all in the past now! Zhiyuan, would you let me explain? Iâll tell you everything that happened between us.â
Pa! A sharp sound cut through the air as Ning Zhiyuan raised a hand and struck Huo Mianâs left cheek hard. Immediately, a burning pain surged up where the slap had landed.
Beside them, Qin Chuâs pupils contracted sharply. Deep in his eyes were hints of heartbreak.
She reached out to hold Ning Zhiyuan, but he pushed her aside.
âHuo Mian, I thought you were a decent girl, someone I could grow old with. I truly wanted to marry you and build a life together. I never thought that youâd be one of those tramps. I must have been blind. To think that I spent so much time courting you in college, not daring to touch you like you were some kind of goddess, Iâve got to be f***ing blind!â Ning Zhiyuan laughed. âYou f***ing played me, bitch!â
âZhiyuan. You can hit me or curse at me all you like. None of thatâs important. Youâre hurt, letâs go to the hospital first, alright?â
Huo Mian stumbled to her feet, trying to help Ning Zhiyuan up, but he shoved her again.

âDonât touch me, Huo Mian. Get your filthy hands off me. Youâre not taking me anywhere. Get lost! I never want to see you again. Get out of here!â Finishing his bellowing rant, Ning Zhiyuan crawled up from the ground like an injured animal and took off.
Huo Mian stood in place, sobbing silently.
She didnât know why things had turned out like this. Hadnât fate tormented her enough? Didnât she already pay the price for what happened seven years ago?
Why force her like this? Why couldnât she just live like a normal person? All she wanted was to live an ordinary life, nothing more.
âHuo Mian, come back to me. Marry me.â Qin Chuâs voice sounded from behind her, near-relentless. His statement was not a discussion, nor a plea. It was an order, one that didnât seem to have any room for objections. Huo Mian knew that the Qin Family had that kind of power. People from the Qin Family were privileged from birth, and in this city, they were virtually gods and could do whatever they wanted to. Seven years ago, sheâd learned this the hard way, and brutally paid for her mistakes. It seemed that, like her, it wasnât over for Qin Chu either.
