His fingers throbbed with a sharp, piercing pain. Shen Mo couldn’t endure it. The pain dragged him out of unconsciousness. He opened his eyes in a daze and was greeted by a world of stark whiteness. White walls, white sheets, white bandages. He stared blankly for a while before realizing he was in a hospital. The memories from before he lost consciousness came rushing back, and his body instinctively curled into itself. He had been kidnapped on his way home. The abandoned warehouse had reeked of…- 75.6 K • Completed
- Jinxiu Villa… Shen Mo had heard it mentioned a few times before. The first time was from Zhao Yi, who had mistaken him for someone living in Jinxiu Villa. The second was from Old Wang, the driver, who once said that Ji Mingxuan had drunkenly insisted on going to Jinxiu Villa. It wasn’t hard to guess. That house must have been where Ji Mingxuan kept his lover hidden away. So how had it ended up under his name? Could it be that Ji Mingxuan, for the sake of convenience, had bought the whole…

- Half a month later, Shen Mo met with Ji Mingxuan’s lawyer. Back at the hospital, when Ji Mingxuan said those words to him, Shen Mo had already expected this day would come. Whether what Ji Mingxuan said was true or not, the fact that he said it meant there was no going forward for the two of them. What Shen Mo hadn’t expected was that Ji Mingxuan wouldn’t even handle the breakup in person. He simply sent his lawyer to talk to him. Should he say Ji Mingxuan was too rational, or just too…

- Shen Mo had vaguely guessed something before, but hearing Ji Mingxuan say it out loud made him understand why Ji spoiled Ji An'an so much. He had lost his mother at a young age, and his only sister had always been frail and sickly. Naturally, all his tenderness was poured into her. Shen Mo wasn’t good at comforting others, so after thinking for a bit, he said, “Medical science is so advanced now. Heart disease isn’t impossible to treat.” “Yes. An’an had surgery when she was very young,…

- Shen Mo felt as if something had pierced right through him. His whole heart clenched, overcome by a fear he couldn’t quite put into words. He couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang was also looking at him. In each other’s eyes, they both saw panic. Zhou Yang adjusted his glasses and murmured, “It’s fine. I know An’an’s personality. She wouldn’t do anything foolish.” It was hard to tell whether he was trying to comfort Shen Mo or himself. Shen Mo rushed to…

- The smile that Ji An’an usually wore on her face had completely vanished, replaced by a hollow and almost numb expression. Her eyes stared straight at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang couldn’t even meet her gaze. He blurted out, “An’an…” Shen Mo pushed him aside and said, “An’an, you’ve misunderstood. Actually… I got a text message…” His mind was in chaos. He felt like some lousy male lead in a cheesy romance drama, left to spout flimsy lines in a weak attempt to defend himself. Ji…

- Zhou Yang hadn’t spoken loudly, but to Shen Mo, it felt like something had exploded right beside his ear, leaving him stunned and unable to react for a long while. There was a stretch of time in Shen Mo’s memory that remained especially foggy. From the accident to his recovery and discharge from the hospital, nearly half a year had passed in a daze. Aside from a few scattered fragments, he could remember nothing clearly. For example, on the day he was kidnapped, he remembered breaking free…

- Shen Mo was startled and immediately stood up from his seat. He remembered Ji Mingxuan mentioning several times that Ji An’an had always been in poor health. If anything felt off, she had to be taken to the hospital right away. Ji An’an always seemed cheerful and didn’t look like someone frail, but her complexion was indeed paler than most. Worried, Shen Mo made his way toward the elevator in the lobby while dialing her number. But no one answered. As he pressed the elevator button,…

- The next morning, Shen Mo looked in the mirror and found a dark red hickey on his neck. Last night… had really been too wild. By the end, he was so dazed he lost count of how many times they did it. When he went to take a shower, just walking caused something to trickle down his thigh. And those words Ji Mingxuan said last night still felt unreal even now. Mr. Ji… actually liked him? When did he start liking him? Unfortunately, Ji Mingxuan never answered that question. Every time Shen…

- Shen Mo froze for a moment. His hand was already on the doorknob, but he hesitated and slowly pulled it back. He stood quietly outside the study for a while before turning around and going back to the living room. Ji An’an was sitting on the sofa watching TV. When she saw him return, she asked, "So? Does my brother have time or not?" Shen Mo seemed distracted. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He probably does." "Either he does or he doesn’t. What do you mean, probably? Has he not decided…
