In the morning, when Shen Ningxuan woke up, she found herself alone in the messy bed. Feeling the pain on her body, she looked at the ceiling and suddenly felt a profound emptiness in her heart. Could it be because Chu Haoxuan was not there?

Looking at the marks on her body, all of them were Chu Haoxuan's handiwork from last night, yet this morning she saw no trace of him. She wondered when he had left.

Shen Ningxuan slowly got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and after getting dressed, she walked into the living room. The house felt empty with only herself in it, and Shen Ningxuan felt somewhat uncomfortable. She cared so much about his absence?

Shen Ningxuan shook her head, trying not to think about Chu Haoxuan, and quickly had a simple piece of bread before heading to work.

Shen Yujin, holding Ye Yanbin's arm, stopped at the entrance of Shen Corporation.

Shen Yujin turned to look at Ye Yanbin, wrapping her arm around his waist, "Yanbin, won't you come in and sit for a while?"

"No need, I have to get back to my unit," Ye Yanbin replied indifferently. If it weren't for Shen Yujin's pestering, he wouldn't have accompanied her to the company.

"Alright then, remember to come pick me up after work this afternoon," Shen Yujin coquettishly repeated.

Ye Yanbin nodded helplessly, "I know, go on in, I'm leaving."

"En, bye," Shen Yujin said, planting a kiss on Ye Yanbin's cheek before turning around and leaving happily. Ye Yanbin remained expressionless, turned to leave, and then saw Shen Ningxuan walking towards him not far away. Ye Yanbin's eyes lit up instantly; her presence made him feel incredibly comfortable. He headed straight for Shen Ningxuan. As Shen Ningxuan saw Ye Yanbin approaching, she slowly stopped in her tracks. "Ning'er, are you coming to work?" Ye Yanbin asked with a smile, standing in front of Shen Ningxuan and looking at her earnestly. "Mr. Ye, is there something you need?" Shen Ningxuan replied coldly, not wanting to have any interaction with the man in front of her. "Ning'er, can you not be so cold to me?" Ye Yanbin said, grabbing Shen Ningxuan's arm and continuing, "I know I was wrong, can you forgive me? As long as you come back to me, I promise I will never do anything to hurt you again." Shen Ningxuan yanked her arm out of Ye Yanbin's grasp, angrily saying, "Ye Yanbin, let go of me. I am your aunt by marriage, you should respect me." "Aunt by marriage?" Ye Yanbin's tone also became agitated, "I have never treated you as an aunt by marriage. You are my woman, not my aunt."

Hearing Ye Yanbin's words, Shen Ningxuan felt a bit disgusted, especially in front of the Shen Corporation headquarters, where colleagues were arriving for work, making it inevitable that she would encounter some of them. Shen Ningxuan gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and said, 'Ye Yanbin, this is Shen's Corporation, I hope you can behave with some respect. I need to go to work now.' After saying that, Shen Ningxuan intended to leave Ye Yanbin's side. Unexpectedly, Ye Yanbin grabbed Shen Ningxuan's arm fiercely and said, 'I won't let you go until we have a clear talk today.' With that, Ye Yanbin dragged Shen Ningxuan towards the parking lot. In the parking lot, Shen Ningxuan resisted while screaming, 'Ye Yanbin, let me go, you're hurting me, let me go!' Ye Yanbin showed no intention of letting go, and when they reached his car, he pushed Shen Ningxuan against the car window. Looking at Shen Ningxuan up close, he demanded, 'Say it, you don't love Chu Haoxuan.' 'Ye Yanbin, let me go,' Shen Ningxuan was too busy resisting to pay attention to Ye Yanbin's words. Shen Yujin had originally planned to go to her office after entering the company, but then she thought better of it and decided to go to the surveillance room to pull up yesterday's footage to see what Shen Ningxuan was up to yesterday. This despicable woman, still not leaving the company after getting married, what exactly are her intentions for clinging to Shen Corporation? Shen Yujin entered the surveillance room, and the two staff members immediately greeted her respectfully, 'Vice President, you're here.' 'Yes,' Shen Yujin replied from a superior stance, 'carry on with your work, I'm just going to pull up yesterday's footage to watch.'

"Okay, okay." Just as Shen Yujin was about to review yesterday's footage, she suddenly saw a scene on the screen, and her face changed instantly. It was a parking lot scene, and it was clearly Ye Yanbin and Shen Ningxuan in the picture. From the camera's angle, Ye Yanbin seemed to be pressing down on Shen Ningxuan. Ye Yanbin's face couldn't be seen clearly, only half of Shen Ningxuan's face was visible, but such a scene, any normal person would know what they were doing. Shen Yujin cursed angrily, "Shameless thing, to actually play in the parking lot." After saying that, Shen Yujin turned away from the monitoring room angrily. Ye Yanbin was still pressing down on Shen Ningxuan fiercely, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, Shen Ningxuan would escape from his side. Ever since losing Shen Ningxuan, Ye Yanbin regarded her as more important than his own life. "Ning'er, can you come back to me? I really can't be without you," Ye Yanbin said earnestly, looking at Shen Ningxuan up close. "Ye Yanbin, dream on. Didn't you think of me when you were with my sister back then?" Shen Ningxuan said angrily, feeling sad just thinking about that scene. She had loved this man so much back then, but what about him? He not only betrayed her but also conspired with her sister to betray her. "Ning'er, I was..." Ye Yanbin's words were cut off by a voice from behind. "What are you doing?"

Shen Yujin's voice reached the ears of Ye Yanbin and Shen Ningxuan. Ye Yanbin turned his head to look at Shen Yujin, and Shen Ningxuan also saw Shen Yujin approaching. Shen Ningxuan felt Ye Yanbin's hand gripping hers slowly relax, and she immediately shook off Ye Yanbin's hand, stepping aside to maintain a certain distance from him. Shen Yujin stood between the two, first looking at Ye Yanbin and fiercely said, 'Ye Yanbin, do you still can't forget this cheap woman until now? She is your aunt by marriage.' After saying that, Shen Yujin looked at Shen Ningxuan, without saying a word, but delivered a slap to Shen Ningxuan. With a 'slap', the crisp sound echoed in the ears of the three. Shen Ningxuan couldn't help but take a few steps back, bowing her head and covering her face with her hair. 'Shen Yujin, what are you doing?' Ye Yanbin angrily walked up to Shen Yujin, blocking her, fearing that Shen Yujin would hit Shen Ningxuan again. 'What am I doing? I'm teaching this shameless sister a lesson. A married woman daring to seduce her sister's fiancé, don't you think such a person deserves to be hit?' Shen Yujin said righteously, feeling that Shen Ningxuan's slap was justified. Shen Ningxuan suddenly spoke, 'Sister? Hehe, Shen Yujin, did you feel ashamed when you were rolling in the sheets with my boyfriend back then?' 'Why should I feel ashamed? I love Yanbin, and he is willing to accept me, do you think I should feel ashamed?'

Shen Yujin resisted, facing Shen Ningxuan, Shen Yujin had a hundred percent chance of winning. Could the person who had been bullying her since childhood still resist herself now? 'Shen Yujin, if you hadn't drugged my drink, I would never have...' Ye Yanbin's words were not finished, he knew that Shen Yujin understood everything. 'Drugging? So what? For the things I want, I will stop at nothing and strive to fight for them,' Shen Yujin said, and then continued, 'Yanbin, even if you want to make up now, it's too late, because she is already Chu Haoxuan's person.' After saying that, Shen Yujin revealed a curve on the corner of her mouth, as if she was bound to win, and Ye Yanbin had no chance to choose. Ye Yanbin looked at Shen Yujin's smile and said resolutely, 'Shen Yujin, even if Ning'er doesn't belong to me, you may not necessarily be able to marry into the Ye family.'

“You,” Shen Yujin was so angry she wanted to speak, yet she didn't know what to say. Standing beside her, Shen Ningxuan looked at the situation helplessly, shook her head, and turned to leave. With these two people, she wished she could be unrelated to them for a lifetime. One was someone she had once deeply loved, and the other was her own sister. Yet, these two had betrayed her, causing her life to change dramatically. She didn't hate them, but her only wish was to never see them again, lest seeing them would remind her of the past. However, none of the three noticed that in the corner of the parking lot, a person dressed in black was taking pictures of everything that happened in the parking lot with a camera, starting from when Shen Ningxuan and Ye Yanbin walked into the parking lot until Shen Ningxuan left far away. The entire process was recorded. In the office of the troops, the leader sitting at the desk was already furious. Looking at the stack of photos in his hand, he had only been away for one day, not even a full day, and his little woman had been bullied by others, entangled by this ungrateful nephew, and beaten by that cruel Shen Yujin. He really wished he could execute these two people on the spot for daring to touch his woman—it was utterly audacious. Chu Haoxuan angrily crumpled the photos in his hand, secretly saying to himself, Ye Yanbin, you touch my woman, and I will make you suffer a terrible death. The next day, in the family compound, Chu Chengbi was sitting in the living room, resting leisurely. Suddenly, Chu Yanan and Ye Lianghan hurried into the Chu family compound. As soon as they entered the living room, Chu Yanan couldn't wait to tell the old master, “Grandpa, it's terrible, it's a big problem.”

Upon hearing Chu Yannan's words, Chu Chengbi realized that his granddaughter had never been so panicked. What could have caused such distress for her now? 'What happened? Don't worry, take your time to explain,' Chu Chengbi said, putting down the cup in his hand. Chu Yannan said, 'Grandpa, Yan Bin's qualification as governor has been suddenly revoked. What should we do?' Chu Yannan was so agitated she didn't know what to do, feeling that obstructing her son's future was like shortening her own life. 'Oh? Who dares to ruin my grandson's prospects? Do they not want to stay in this city?' Chu Chengbi asked seriously. 'I don't know, I asked a few friends to investigate, but they refused to look into it,' Ye Lianghan said. Chu Yannan's eyes filled with hatred, 'It must be someone jealous of our Yan Bin, sabotaging him from behind. Grandpa, you must stand up for us.' As Chu Yannan spoke, she grabbed the old man's clothes, pleading with Grandpa Chu. Chu Chengbi thought for a moment and then said, 'Don't worry, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate right now. If someone is really pulling strings against Yan Bin, rest assured, they won't get past the Chu family.' Hearing the old man's orders, the stone in Chu Yannan's heart finally settled. As long as it was the old man taking charge, there was nothing that couldn't be done. She believed in his abilities. Chu Chengbi turned to the butler beside him and said, 'Butler, go and investigate. I want to know the results in half an hour.' 'Yes,' the butler replied, then turned and walked out of the living room. Chu Yannan and Ye Lianghan sat together in the living room, waiting for the news that the butler would bring back.
