Translator: Atlas Studios      Editor: Atlas Studios

Xing Shu felt that her internal organs had shifted. She could not help but kick

Cheng Xingyang in the nuts. Cheng Xingyang instantly curled his body, and his

face turned pale from the pain. The pain also woke him up. He looked up and saw that this was Xing Shu l s apartment. He remembered that he was in a bad mood and somehow found his way to Xing Shu’s apartment. When no one answered the doorbell, he squatted at the door and smoked a few cigarettes.

“Xing Shu.” Cheng Xingyang stood up shakily and pounced forward, pinning Xing Shu against the couch. Xing Shu hit the back of her head. Before she could react, she heard the sound of a camera at the door. Click. Click. Click. Someone had shot them in such a compromising position.

Xing Shu pressed the back of her head and pushed Cheng Xingyang away. She chased after the person who was taking photographs on the sly. However, Cheng Xingyang wrapped his arms around her waist. “Xing Shu, I was spouting nonsense at the banquet. It’s my fault. I apologize, okay?”

Steam was coming out of Xing Shu l s ears. Who arranged for the photographs to be taken? What were they planning to do? Could a reporter have been following Cheng Xingyang, hoping to get a scoop because of what happened at the Xing family’s banquet? Xing Shu gritted her teeth in anger. If those photographs were to get out, what would people think ofher and Cheng Xingyang? She felt weary and pointed to the door. “Get lost.”

Cheng Xingyang did not say anything. His eyes were filled with humiliation. He had already apologized. What else did she want him to do? “Xing Shu, I… ”

Xing Shu said, “l told you to get lost. Also, you’d better find the person who took the photos just now. I don’t want to be on the news with you.”

Cheng Xingyang gritted his teeth. Was it embarrassing to be on the news with him? He felt his heart throbbing in pain. He got up and walked out. Just as he reached the entrance of the building, a person with a camera walked over. “Young Master Cheng, what do you think of these photos? Do you need to make the headlines?

Cheng Xingyang glanced at the photographs and saw that in the photographs, he had Xing Shu pinned under him and seemed to be kissing her. He nodded in satisfaction. “These few photos… Disseminate them and tag that Xing Shu and I seem to have rekindled our relationship. I’ll transfer the money to you later.”

The reporter nodded. Upon receiving the money, he sent the photographs.

After Cheng Xingyang got into the car, he looked at his palms in a daze. Xing Shu l s body temperature seemed to still linger on his palms. All these years, he and Xing Shu had not been intimate. They had not hugged or kissed. When he had her under him just now, he felt that her expression was so sensual and beautiful. However, when he thought about how she had revealed that expression under more than one man, he felt disgusted. Xing Shu’s performance at the Xing family’s banquet had humiliated him very much, so he had to exact revenge. That was why he had arranged this. Since Xing Shu could not wait to draw a line with him, he would not let her have her way. As for what Xing Linlin would think when she saw the news, he would just coax her a little. His mother was right. Xing Linlin’s reputation was already ruined. His grandfather would not allow a woman with a bad reputation to marry into the Cheng family. He could not let go of Xing Linlin or Xing Shu. Since that was the case, why not have both? Anyway, he was the scion of the Cheng family. What could he not have? Moreover, he had been engaged to Xing Shu for so many years and yet nothing happened between them. Just thinking about it made him feel like he lost out big time.

Xing Shu stood in front of the door and locked all the locks. She was so angry that her head hurt. She had not eaten anything at the banquet last night and did not have time to eat this morning. Cheng Xingyang angered her so much that her head and her stomach hurt. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom and vomited, but she did not vomit anything. Her forehead was covered in sweat. Xing Shu staggered back to the couch and felt the world spin. She gritted her teeth and took out her cell phone with trembling hands. She wanted to call the ambulance, but her fingers were trembling. In the end, she did not know if she had called the ambulance or not. Her vision darkened and she fainted.

The Cheng family residence was especially lively tonight. Old Master Cheng and Old Master Jin had returned from their vacation together. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the elders and juniors in the family had a meal together. Cheng Lang—who was originally working overtime in the company— was also summoned by Old Master Cheng.

Old Master Jin wanted to stay for dinner with the Cheng family. As a junior, Cheng Lang had to accompany him. The rest of the Cheng family had rushed back. Even Cheng Gang—who had been fired—wanted to take this opportunity to leave a good impression on Old Master Cheng.

Cheng Lang had just finished his work call and stepped into the hall when his cell phone rang..
