My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my sister, and I got married to him in a flash; he went crazy.

Mingjing Garden.

After examining Jiang Shutong, the doctor gave her an injection.

"Mr. Pei, the drug your wife took came from the black market. It's extremely potent. The injection we gave her won't completely neutralize its effects. You'll probably need to help her relieve the symptoms... otherwise, she'll be in a lot of pain, and in severe cases, it could cause irreversible damage to her body..."

Pei Yichen frowned. "I understand."

After the doctor left, Pei Yichen had just entered the bedroom when the woman on the bed pounced on him, her soft hands tightly wrapped around his waist. "Pei Yichen, I feel unwell, help me..."

Jiang Shutong felt as if her limbs were burning hot, and cold sweat was sticking to her messy hair. After the injection, she regained some consciousness and the soreness in her body lessened.

But the desire deep within her made her completely weak.

The woman's once clear and bright eyes were now filled with tears, looking at him with a wet expression, her fair face now flushed red.

She heard what the doctor said.

This is the medicine that Xu Mingze mentioned, the one that would kill him if he didn't take it.

She doesn't want to die.

Besides, Pei Yichen is her husband in name only.

It's legal for her to sleep with him.

Since the doctor said so, Pei Yichen can't be so heartless as to stand by and watch someone die.

So, she stood on tiptoe, stared at the man's beautiful lips, and kissed him directly.

Jiang Shutong was now completely dominated by desire; her kisses were urgent, rough, and utterly haphazard.

He would occasionally let out a soft hum.

Pei Yichen was stiff all over. The woman's lips were very soft, and her burning body temperature seemed to transfer heat to him as well. He also felt extremely hot all over.

The woman in his arms rubbed against him anxiously, her hands roaming all over his body, trying to ignite his passion.

Just as his sanity was about to crumble, the woman in his arms released him. She tore at her clothes in frustration and pleaded in a low voice, "Pei Yichen, please find me a man, I beg you..."

Her hazy consciousness suddenly remembered that Pei Yichen was gay.

Then Pei Yichen definitely can't help her.

As soon as she spoke, the man's deep, fiery black eyes suddenly turned cold. This woman would rather find another man to be his antidote than have him, her legal husband!

Pei Yichen grabbed the woman's slender waist, picked her up, and threw her onto the bed.

The night outside the window was as dark as ink that could not be dissolved. The curtains fluttered in the night breeze, letting in the moonlight.

The air was thick with an unyielding, sticky substance, and the temperature gradually rose.

The room was filled with labored breathing and a woman's slight trembling.

The clock on the wall ticked away, and as time passed, Jiang Shutong felt as if she were floating lightly on the clouds, as if she could never touch the ground.

Her fingernails unconsciously dug into the man's bare back and chest, leaving red scratches.

After an unknown amount of time, the woman's tense body gradually softened, the burning temperature gradually returned to normal, and her breathing slowly calmed down.

Looking at Jiang Shutong, who was fast asleep, the man got up from her and went into the bathroom.

The icy water poured down from the showerhead, but it still couldn't extinguish the body that had been sweltering all night.

-

the next morning.

Jiang Shutong slowly opened her eyes; the residue of the medication caused a dull ache in her head.

After regaining her senses, she looked up and surveyed the room; it was Pei Yichen's master bedroom.

She sat up, the blanket slipped off, revealing a patch of mottled red marks on her body.

The scenes from last night flashed through her mind like a movie.

Every single clip made her so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

Although she was under the influence of drugs last night, now that she's sober and recalls the scenes of her repeatedly demanding things from men, she feels she can no longer face Pei Yichen.

Her mind was now filled with the man's long, slender hands...

Jiang Shutong's cheeks were burning hot, and even her ears were bright red. She pulled the blanket over her head and took deep breaths to calm her wildly beating heart.

A sudden, urgent cell phone ringtone broke the silence of the room.

She picked it up and saw it was a call from Xu's father.

She quickly remembered the culprit who had drugged her—Xu Mingze—and a cold glint appeared in her eyes.

Fortunately, when she realized something was wrong in the car last night, she secretly sent a message to Pei Yichen.

The message was concise and to the point: "Help me."

Then I turned on WeChat's location sharing feature.

This way, Pei Yichen could find Xu Mingze's secluded villa in the suburbs as soon as possible.

Pei Yichen was always like that, never letting her down.

Never let us down in crucial moments.

She owes him a life-saving debt.

When Pei Yichen took her away last night, all he knew was that the police had arrived.

However, it is unknown whether Xu Mingze was taken away by the police.

She slowly swiped to answer the call, her voice a little hoarse, "Hello, Uncle Xu."

Mr. Xu's voice sounded tired. "Tongtong, I want to apologize to you on behalf of that bastard Mingze. I really didn't expect him to do such a despicable thing. He's been detained by the police now, and the maid in the house has confessed that she was instructed by him to drug you. Mingze will probably be going to jail..."

Jiang Shutong fell silent. She was somewhat surprised that Xu Mingze had been arrested by the police so quickly and that evidence had been found against him.

Seeing that Jiang Shutong didn't speak on the phone, Xu's father quickly said, "Tongtong, don't misunderstand. I'm not here to plead for him, and I don't have the face to do so..."

"I called you so you could come see your Aunt Cheng. She had a heart attack and was hospitalized last night after finding out about this. I flew back from out of town overnight..."

Jiang Shutong's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled slightly, "Uncle Xu, which hospital is Aunt Cheng in?"

-

She quickly washed up and went out of the living room, only to see Pei Yichen having breakfast there.

She hadn't expected him to still be home. When their eyes met, they both felt a little awkward.

Pei Yichen coughed lightly and looked away. "Sit down and have breakfast."

As he spoke, he handed him a glass of fresh milk that had been poured.

Jiang Shutong's gaze involuntarily fell on the man's pale hands. His hands were long and slender, and looked very powerful. The veins on the back of his hands were faintly visible, and they became more prominent as he raised his hands.

These hands reminded her of the scene from last night, and the woman's cheeks began to burn again. "I can't eat anymore, I have to go out urgently."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and hurriedly walked towards the door.

She stopped at the door, turned around slowly, and said earnestly, "Pei Yichen, thank you for last night."

She now owes this favor.

Although he ultimately chose to use his hands to counteract the antidote, it still saved her life.

After last night, she was even more certain that he was gay. Since he didn't want anyone to know, she decided to keep this secret for him at all costs and pretend she didn't know anything.
