Wu Xiuna is a decisive person.

　　After meeting Han Zhi, she became even more calculating.

　　Break up with Chi Cheng? Impossible.

　　How could she easily give up the person hidden in her heart from the first glance? She had put in so much effort since she first saw him as a youth standing by her side now.

　　Besides, Chi Cheng was so kind and gentle.

　　On the day she met Han Zhi at the school gate, anyone with discerning eyes could see her abnormality, but Chi Cheng reassured her, saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." However, she couldn't tell Chi Cheng the hidden things.

　　She refused to speak, and Chi Cheng, with a good temper, stopped asking and just smiled faintly, saying, "Forget it, tell me when you're ready to talk." Was Chi Cheng disappointed at that time? She didn't notice, nor did she care.

　　Later, she asked Chi Cheng, "Can we leave for studying abroad as soon as possible?" Studying abroad was a plan she had always had, and it was also a dream she had always cherished.

　　For this, she had already taken the IELTS test and made full preparations.

　　Han Zhi's appearance undoubtedly accelerated the event.

　　Chi Cheng's family has always supported them going abroad together.

　　Chi Cheng's father said that it's a good thing for young people to go out.

　　In this fast-developing and ever-changing era, with a broadened outlook, they would be able to come back and inherit the family business in the future.

　　At the same time, he is also an old-fashioned person with traditional concepts, and in his words, he requested them to get married early after returning and give birth to a fat grandson for him soon.

　　Wu Xiuna and Chi Cheng's relationship is approved by both parents.

　　She has been gentle since she was a child, but also rebellious deep down.

　　This kind of life being controlled by others should have been tiresome.

　　Going abroad, getting married, and having children...

　　if the person is Chi Cheng, she would be delighted.

　　Wu Xiuna made a risky move.

　　Later, Han Zhi came to her apartment building and she surrounded his car securely before getting in.

　　In the car under the night sky, that man took off his glasses, and in his eyes, there was a deep, mysterious light.

　　He gradually approached her, like a beast, as if he wanted to devour her completely.

　　Afterwards, she often wondered how he dared to do that.

　　Han Zhi, a person with status and position, dared to humiliate her so brazenly in the car.

　　She had originally planned to cautiously deal with him, enduring until she and Chi Cheng left the country, and everything would settle down.

　　But under the dark night, she looked through the car window at the distant night sky, which was gloomy and despairing.

　　The atmosphere in the car was oppressive.

　　Her hand tightly gripped Han Zhi, and her nails dug into his body, wishing she could make a few bloody holes and kill him directly.

　　But she was a living person.

　　That ferocious man, like a beast, watched her cry with a teasing expression, his palm caressing her neck, and his hoarse voice tempting her, "Are you disgusted by being with me? Have you ever thought about how, with my status, I can make you control the world? This is something many women would die for." Wu Xiuna pushed him away with disgust, straightened her clothes and fixed her hair, and with red eyes, she got out of the car.

　　What reasoning could there be with a madman? She had resisted and pleaded, but everything was futile and mere empty talk.

　　Fortunately, Han Zhi quieted down for a while after that.

　　Not long after, she and Chi Cheng stood together in the airport lobby, and everyone came to bid them farewell except for Fu Juan, who couldn't come to send her off due to work in the temporary factory.

　　Even her father, who hadn't appeared for a long time, came.

　　Wu Xiuna looked at Chi Cheng with hope in her eyes, holding onto his arm.

　　The once young and handsome boy now stood in front of her, with a bright and gentle smile.

　　However, right before boarding the plane, she received a call from Han Zhi, just a second before turning off her phone.

　　The man's voice was low and eerie as he lightly chuckled, saying, "Miss Wu, your mother had a car accident and is currently being treated in the hospital.

　　Won't you come and see her for the last time?"

　　It was a thunderbolt striking her head.

　　In the end, it was Chi Cheng who went abroad alone.

　　She hurriedly rushed to the hospital, and her mother did indeed have a car accident, but it was not serious, only a moderate concussion.

　　Seeing her, her mother was surprised, asking, "Why are you here?" Trembling, she asked in a shaky voice, "What happened, Mom? How did you get into a car accident when everything was fine?" Fu Juan was furious, "I came out of the factory thinking there was still time, maybe I could go to the airport to see you off, so I drove faster.

　　As a result, halfway there, I got hit by a reckless truck.

　　It's truly strange, that road to the airport restricts large vehicles, and the driver has already been detained by the traffic police..." In her phone, Han Zhi's WeChat message lay quietly - "Next time, you won't have a chance." These terrifying words made her tremble.

　　Chi Cheng went abroad, and she stayed behind.

　　However, going abroad to study was initially her suggestion.

　　When she later called Chi Cheng to tell him that she wasn't going anymore, the person she loved on the other end of the line fell silent, and then said, "Nana, don't you plan on giving me a reason?" She covered her mouth, afraid to let out a cry.

　　There could be many reasons, she could make up one casually, but she knew those were not what Chi Cheng wanted to hear.

　　In despair, she found Han Zhi.

　　The long-term oppression had caused her to lose her fear, and she calmly asked him, "Mr.

　　Han, do you plan on marrying me?" Han Zhi raised an eyebrow, laughing in disbelief, "Do you know what you're saying?" "Alright, since you don't plan on marrying me, if it's just playing around, then I will play with you.

　　So, how long do you plan on playing?" Astonishingly, the man thought about it seriously for a moment, "If Miss Wu obediently listens to me, I think my interest in you won't last more than a year."

　　Wu Xiuna smiled, approaching him and half-squatting in front of him, placing his hand on her face, "Mr.

　　Han, from now on, I am yours." Then, she turned around and decisively called Chi Cheng, "Chi Cheng, let's break up." On the other end of the phone, came the final response, "Okay." However, neither side hung up, and she waited for a long, long time.

　　The pain in her heart made it impossible to breathe as she squatted on the ground, silently sobbing.

　　Chi Cheng spoke again, "Don't you really want to tell me something else?" "Chi Cheng, please wait for me for a year, give me a year's time." "Okay." She moved into Han Zhi's private apartment and told Fu Juan that she planned to study for a master's degree, so she would stay at school for a while.

　　Fu Juan had some objections to her not going abroad to study, but she couldn't stop the young person's thoughts, so they left it at that.

　　Han Zhi didn't restrict her freedom; she attended classes as usual, went shopping as usual, met with Han Bingbing as usual.

　　But everyone knew that she was now Han Zhi's secret lover.

　　Han Zhi took her to attend Han's family social gatherings, art exhibitions.

　　When he was in a good mood, he took her on vacations and to the equestrian club for shooting.

　　He gave her various valuable jewelry, as long as she showed even the slightest interest, Han Zhi didn't mind the price.

　　At the charity gala, she stood beside Han Zhi, wearing a luxurious crystal evening gown, with her long hair neatly styled and her makeup exquisite, flawless.

　　When faced with jealous provocations from other women, she only smiled lightly and did not mind.

　　When Han Zhi stayed at the apartment, she would buy fruit and carefully cut it into a fruit platter.

　　She would wear Han Zhi's shirt, tie up her long hair, and cuddle with him on the sofa, with Han Zhi watching TV while she fed him fruit.

　　However, even though the TV was noisy, no one's mind was on it.

　　They were intimate with each other, Han Zhi would hold her in his arms, hold her hand and play with it casually.

　　His cool eyes revealed a hint of pity as he said, "You are indeed very obedient now, and it's starting to get boring." Wu Xiuna's hope gradually emerged, but in the next second, this man cruelly curved his lips and said, "It's a waste for you to work so hard at acting.

　　Do you want me to send you to the entertainment circle?" "No need, Mr.

　　Han." His finger touched her lips lightly, and he smiled softly, "Do you want to go back to him?" She was stunned for a few seconds, before she snapped back to her senses and took the initiative to cling to his neck and kiss him, saying, "No, there are many men in the world, but there's only one Mr.

　　Han." Yes, who can compare to Han Zhi's status and position, not to mention his handsome appearance and lavish gestures.

　　She hid it very well, acting with caution.

　　As Han Zhi's mistress, she completely implemented the word "secret".

　　Even Chi Cheng's family and Fu Juan didn't know about her and Chi Cheng breaking up.

　　Being by Chi Cheng's side was just a dream for her.

　　After a long time, Han Zhi would eventually grow tired of her.

　　A year later, it seemed that a turning point had appeared.

　　Another woman appeared by Han Zhi's side, a female celebrity with bright eyes and white teeth, exuding countless charms.

　　And he hadn't come to the apartment for a long time.

　　Wu Xiuna finished her shower and cuddled on the balcony, looking out the window, pouring a glass of red wine and lighting a cigarette.

　　The night sky was clear, boundless blackness with scattered stars.

　　Such starry skies were rarely seen in big cities.

　　In her childhood, in her hometown village, she could see them every night.

　　It felt like a world away when she thought about it.

　　She finished her glass of wine, hesitated for a while, and called Chi Cheng.

　　It was the first call after their breakup.

　　Chi Cheng answered quickly as it was daytime on his end.

　　During the pleasantries, Wu Xiuna vaguely felt that something was different, but she still said, "Will you come back for the holiday this year?" "Yes." "Can I come pick you up?" Chi Cheng laughed, "Sure, I'll bring you a gift." Suddenly, she felt an infinite joy in her heart.

　　What's different? As long as she could be with Chi Cheng, everything could go back to how it was before.

　　After hanging up the phone, she had a few more drinks, stood up unsteadily, held the wine glass, and danced in the living room.

　　Her head was spinning, but she felt incredibly content, and her voice was slow and melodious.

　　"In the past, there was someone who loved you for a long time, but the wind gradually blew us apart..." She was wearing a silk robe, her long hair curled and dyed a wine-red color, because Han Bingbing said that her little uncle used to date mature and charming women.

　　The female celebrity standing beside Han Zhi now also had slightly curled hair, exuding a seductive charm.

　　Women were all the same, newcomers eventually replaced the old ones.

　　She laughed softly, stumbled, and spilled the red wine from her hand.

　　Then she unexpectedly fell into a familiar embrace.

　　Confused, she looked up and saw Han Zhi, but involuntarily murmured, "Cheng Chong ah." She was drunk, the wine glass fell, red wine spilled on the carpet, filling the room with its fragrance.

　　The person holding her grew colder by the moment.

　　That night, at midnight, she was thirsty, slightly sober, and saw Han Zhi sitting in the bedroom chair, with his back to her, looking out the balcony window motionlessly, like a cold statue.

　　Suddenly, she grew frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

　　Half drunk and half awake, she spoke without filter, pushing and shoving him, saying many confusing things.

　　"Han Zhi, when will you let me go? Why do you bully me like this? I'm just an ordinary person who wants to be with the person she loves." "Do you understand what love is, Han Zhi? You don't understand.

　　Someone like you wouldn't have a sincere heart." "I have someone I like, you know.

　　Even if I stay with you for a long time, it doesn't matter.

　　I don't love you and I never will...".

　　She said a lot, but Han Zhi remained silent, carrying her and placing her on the bed, covering her with a blanket.

　　Now that she was awake, the shadow in the room didn't say anything.

　　The bedroom light was dim, he got up and brought her a glass of water.

　　"I don't like women drinking.

　　Don't do this again in the future." "...Alright." She stammered in response.

　　When Chi Cheng returned to the country, she didn't go to pick him up.

　　This was because she was accompanying Han Zhi to an ecological farm.

　　Han Zhi enjoyed horseback riding and was very skilled.

　　She, on the other hand, did not know how.

　　But it didn't matter, Han Zhi could teach her.

　　Actually, there was no need for him to do so since there were many private instructors at the equestrian center, but he insisted on teaching her himself.

　　"Keep your body upright, bend your elbows, relax your knees and ankles..." Han Zhi became serious, extremely demanding, but fortunately she was intelligent and studious, so she quickly learned to ride on her own.

　　Han Zhi's eyes showed approval.

　　He liked people who catch on quickly.

　　That day, there were other people at the equestrian center, including the female celebrity who frequently appeared by Han Zhi's side.

　　Han Zhi sat under the parasol discussing matters with someone.

　　Wu Xiuna was riding her horse in the arena, everything was going well until the skilled female celebrity caught up to her and gave the horse a harsh whip on its hindquarters.

　　In an instant, the horse reared up, neighed, and went crazy, running forward.

　　Wu Xiuna fell off the horse.

　　She hit her head, felt a piercing pain in her waist as if it had snapped.

　　Later, the person who picked her up was Han Zhi.

　　The man's jaw was tense, his messy hair partially covering his slightly narrowed pupils, revealing a momentary glimpse of a sinister look.

　　When he got angry, he never noticed the dangerous aura that emanated from him, filled with a killing intent.

　　Wu Xiuna was in pain, but she didn't forget to grab his sleeve and grit her teeth, saying, "Mr.

　　Han, I'm still alive, you can rest assured." Then she was taken to the hospital for treatment, and from that day on, the female celebrity never appeared by Han Zhi's side again.

　　Not only by his side, but she also never appeared on television again.

　　Han Bingbing said that her uncle's face became frighteningly gloomy, and that female celebrity probably wouldn't have another lucky day in her life.

　　Han Bingbing also said, "Maybe you're different from other women in my uncle's heart."

　　"Wu Xiuna smirked coldly in her heart, what's different? Han Zhi, such an arrogant person, just doesn't like others defying him.

　　When she was in the hospital, she notified her family.

　　There were many people in the ward, including Chi Cheng and his parents.

　　Fortunately, Han Zhi wouldn't come to the hospital to see her.

　　No one knew about her and Chi Cheng's affairs, and Chi Cheng's parents even joked, 'No wonder Nana didn't go to the airport to pick someone up, turns out she got injured.

　　It's great that Chi Cheng came back, let this kid accompany you well in the hospital.' Chi Cheng looked at her and smiled without saying a word.

　　Later, he did accompany her in the hospital for two days.

　　The gift he brought from overseas for her was a cross necklace.

　　Chi Cheng peeled an apple for her in the ward, his handsome face just like before, but he slightly pursed his lips, and there was a hint of distance in his words.

　　The atmosphere in the ward was oppressive, and she didn't know what to say, feeling restless and panicked.

　　Does the cross still represent redemption...

　　her eyes turned red, overwhelmed with pain.

　　In
