Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

His movements were swift and forceful; Mu Tiantian's back slammed against the wall, and the back of her head also bumped slightly backward.

My wrist hurt a bit from being gripped so tightly that my phone fell from my hand.

She was afraid her phone would break, which made her even angrier.

When she tried to bend down to pick up her phone, Ling Jieyu's tall frame loomed over her like a mountain, leaving her no room to move.

The lingering smoke drifted into her nostrils, causing her to frown in disgust. She glared at Ling Jieyu with displeasure before turning her face away in disgust.

Although Ling Jieyu's timely appearance resolved her crisis.

But his act of hugging and kissing her in front of the camera in the lobby was infuriating.

It cannot be simply canceled out.

Looking at the woman whose face was flushed with anger, Ling Jieyu recalled the heartwarming scene of her speaking those touching words to the camera. The stark contrast left him in awe.

He discovered for the first time that Mu Tiantian had the potential to be an actress.

Although she has a very genuine personality, she is absolutely serious when it comes to acting.

He stubbed out the cigarette he wasn't smoking, pinched Mu Tiantian's chin, turned her face back to face him, and felt it necessary to give her a gentle reminder, "Don't forget, we're husband and wife now."

Mu Tiantian felt that Ling Jieyu's gesture of pinching her chin was insulting, and the flames of anger in her heart burned even brighter. It was one thing to remind him, but what kind of man would resort to violence like that?

Fu Zhengting never makes people feel uncomfortable.

Even when he was being domineering, she didn't feel insulted.

Fu Zhengting is a man who respects women from the bottom of his heart.

Ling Jieyu, being a playboy who has dated so many girlfriends, definitely doesn't take women seriously.

She tried to slap Ling Jieyu's hand away, but she couldn't.

Even after his palms were sore from hitting him, Ling Jieyu didn't loosen his grip an inch.

She immediately bristled.

She raised her knee, intending to use it to push Ling Jieyu away, but she had only raised it a little bit when Ling Jieyu took half a step back and immediately pressed against her to control her.

She couldn't move.

The high heels she was wearing were too high, and she wasn't used to wearing them. In addition, the short jacket had no elasticity, making it difficult for her to move. Otherwise, she could have kicked Ling Jieyu faster.

Ling Jieyu raised an eyebrow and smiled as he watched Mu Tiantian's fierce yet helpless expression.

"Mu Tiantian, how can you treat your newlywed husband like this? Trying to murder him on your very first day of marriage."

Knowing what Mu Tiantian hates to hear, he goes against her and insists on saying those things.

Mu Tiantian was so angry that her blood boiled.

She wanted to bite Ling Jieyu's arm, but she was afraid of getting a disease.

When Ling Jieyu saw Mu Tiantian's extremely disgusting expression, he couldn't laugh anymore.

He pressed closer. "Mu Tiantian, let me make this clear: I'm not sick. Stop looking like you're afraid of getting infected."

Mu Tiantian rolled her eyes, speechless.

In her mind, Ling Jieyu was a sleazy playboy.

Ling Jieyu was both annoyed and amused.

He was determined to change Mu Tiantian's preconceived notions about him.

I promised my father and Uncle Qin that I wouldn't go to nightclubs or bars, and I won't.

"Mu Tiantian, you sprayed perfume in my eyes and caused them problems. Tell me, how am I supposed to settle this score with you?" He lowered his head so that Mu Tiantian could see his eyes clearly, proving that he wasn't lying.

Mu Tiantian took a closer look and only then did she notice that her eyes were a little red.

Although she felt that her behavior was impolite, she still retorted, "It's all your fault. Who told you to stop me? You promised to help me if I wanted to go find Fu Zhengting, but you didn't keep your word. You're despicable and shameless."

"I did agree, but I forgot to tell you that the deadline is only half a month, and it just so happens to expire then," Ling Jieyu said shamelessly, finding a way to save face.

Mu Tiantian was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

She hated this ambiguous, tug-of-war feeling; her moral compass was in turmoil, as if she had already done something to betray Fu Zhengting.

She looked at Ling Jieyu intently, and said indifferently, "Ling Jieyu, I don't care what your true feelings are for me now, I can tell you for sure that even if I can't end up with Fu Zhengting, I will never fall in love with you. In front of the media, I have to put on an act."

Remember this: even if we do get married, I will never consider you my husband. My husband can only be Fu Zhengting. I will do my best to get my father's approval for me to be with Fu Zhengting...

Ling Jieyu stared intently into Mu Tiantian's eyes, which shone like stars.

Her resolute gaze spoke volumes about her attitude.

Is this true love?

It can withstand all tests.

From the beginning until now, he has never seen Mu Tiantian waver in her love for Fu Zhengting.

"Mu Tiantian, why are you so certain about Fu Zhengting?"

He suddenly became very curious about this question.

Mu Tiantian answered truthfully, "Because I think he is the best and most understanding man in the world. I believe that even if all men cheat, he won't."

Fu Zhengting's character gave her enough confidence.

Ling Jieyu was shocked by this answer. How much confidence did it take to believe it? But he couldn't help but tease Mu Tiantian, "Don't be so sure of yourself. You'll be crying when you're proven wrong."

"Although true feelings can change in an instant, I still believe in Fu Zhengting, just as I believe in myself that I would never betray my feelings," Mu Tiantian said candidly.

"If I'm proven wrong in the future, I'll accept it; at least for now, I believe in it."

That's the truth.

Ling Jieyu didn't want to talk about love anymore. He asked Yang Guanghui, "Why were you afraid of Yang Guanghui outside the restroom just now?"

Mu Tiantian cautiously glanced around, hesitating whether to tell Ling Jieyu the truth.

She believed that Ling Jieyu wasn't the kind of person who would gossip.

Perhaps having Ling Jieyu help with the investigation would help us find out faster.

But she was also afraid that Ling Jieyu wouldn't investigate because he didn't want her to be with Fu Zhengting.

She started by asking tentatively, "Ling Jieyu, how much do you know about Fu Zhenlong's report against my father back then? Do you know which media companies and newspapers were involved?"

Ling Jieyu realized that things were not simple. He didn't have the patience to guess. "I was young back then, how could I possibly understand? Just tell me directly, don't be so mysterious."

Mu Tiantian glanced towards the lobby, but it was too far away to see what was happening there. She cautiously asked Ling Jieyu, "Where's Yang Guanghui? Did he go back to the lobby?"

"He received a phone call saying that the patient had an emergency and had to leave first, and asked me to tell your dad," Ling Jieyu said truthfully.

Mu Tiantian became increasingly certain of her guess.

Having no chance to make a move, Yang Guanghui fled.

Ling Jieyu couldn't get an answer. Seeing that Mu Tiantian was thinking about something and had a serious expression, he became extremely curious.

He tightened his grip on Mu Tiantian's waist, threatening, "Will you talk or not?"

Mu Tiantian was truly enraged this time. She raised her elbow to deliver a blow to Ling Jieyu, when suddenly a woman walked towards them...
