It's four o'clock in the morning. It's not dawn.
Rong Yin carried his luggage and quietly pushed open the door of the villa.
She didn't look back.
She knew that if she was a second late, she would hesitate and be weak. She must go.
But she didn't take five steps, and the deep voice came from behind her--
"Rong Yin."
She stopped and tightened her knuckles. The moment she turned around, she saw Chi Yuchuan standing at the door, her white shirt slightly wrinkled, and her face was so deep as if she could drip ink.
He seemed to have expected that she would escape.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm just... on a business trip." Her tone was calm, but she didn't even dare to look at him.
But he went straight forward and snatched the suitcase in her hand. "You don't even want to act?"
"Chi Yuchuan, you are not qualified to care about me."
She finally looked up with cold and firm eyes. "You have been in the lead between us from the beginning. Now, I want to quit."
Chi Yuchuan looked at her. At that moment, there was a pain like injury in his eyes, but soon, he regained his usual indifference and strength.
"QUIT?" He sneered, "Rong Yin, do you think this marriage is a game of entering if you want and retreating if you want?"
"Then it's not a marriage." She retaliated coldly, "It's a layout, a carefully planned game."
Chi Yuchuan's knucles tightened slightly.
"I saw the photo." She said word by word, "Your relationship with that woman is not simple, is it?"
He frowned and said in a low voice, "You shouldn't check these."
"Bot I have to know." She approached him step by step, "Why are you approaching me? Why did you choose to marry me? Did you plan that wedding?"
Chi Michuan's throat rolled gently and was silent for a long time.
He didn't deny it.
Rong Yin smiled, and there was sadness in his eyes.
"So that's it."
He finally opened his mouth, his voice as low as night rain: "I approached you for a purpose. But I was moved by marrying you.
"Unfortunately, I can't tell when you told the truth."
"Then you can try it now."
After saying that, he suddenly stretched out his hand, clasped the back of her head, bowed his head, and kissed her fiercely.
Rong Yin stared wide-eyed and struggled angrily, but was pressed tightly in his arms.
This kiss is not gentle or lustful, but with extreme pain.
After a long time, he let go of her and said hoarsely, "I admit that I lied to you. But I never thought of letting you go.
"Chi Michuan--"
"You can go." He stared at her, "But you have to promise me a condition."
"What?"
"A month." He said in a low voice, "Give me another month, and I'll let you tell me in person - you love me."
Rong Yin looked at him, and his eyes were shaken for a moment.
One month...
She thought he would threaten and force.
But I didn't expect that he only needed time.
Even if it's the last time.
She bit her lip and whispered, "What if I still decide to leave after a month?"
Chi Yuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Then I'll continue to chase."
She: "..."
"Chase until you are willing to have a sore back every day for the rest of your life."
Rong Yin's face turned red.
This man is really flirtatious when he opens his mouth, and his mouth is open.
Chi Yuchuan was inexplicably happy when he saw her blushing.
"Go back." He held her finger and gently tightened it. "You opened the door here by yourself. Don't force me to lock it."
Rong Yin looked at his handsome and calm face and didn't struggle anymore.
She knew that he was the most difficult robbery in her life.
It is also her life that she is most reluctant to refuse.
——
At the same time, on the other side.
In the hotel suite, a woman in a black skirt slowly hung up the phone with a sneer at the corner of her mouth.
"Sure enough, she moved."
Behind him came the man's deep voice: "Are you sure Rong Yin doesn't know the real relationship between her and Chi Yuchuan?"
"She doesn't know." The woman smiled confidently, "But the more she knows, the more painful it is."
"Very good." The man extinguished the cigarette with cold eyes. "Let her hate him completely, and then - she will become our sharpest knife."
The woman hooked her lips: "The secret he kept can't be hidden after all." It's late at night.
Rongyin lay on the bed, tossing and turning to sleep.
She turned on her mobile phone and saw the vague old photo. After hesitating for a moment, she clicked on the chat app and sent a message to a strange contact:
[I want to hear the truth about what you said.]
One minute later, the other party replied:
[The truth is very expensive. Are you ready?]
Her fingertips trembled, and her eyes gradually became cold.
This marriage is not just a relationship.
It's power, family, past, and scars.
And she must know the answer.
Even if the price is - to lose him completely.
