Su Wanwan stood there in a daze, watching the black sedan drive away until it disappeared into the darkness. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, and her eyes gradually turned red.

  She didn't know what she did wrong, Pei Muxuan wanted to treat her like this. That thing back then, the one who was wrong was him. What right does he have now to say those vicious words with such a straight face and still ask her to break up with Ling Yu?

  The memory of that past event reopened a deep wound in her heart, as if it had been torn open again, and the pain made her face turn pale.

  However, his last sentence with a stern tone still echoed in her ears, "Remember, you only have one day's time, otherwise..."

  Otherwise, he didn't say the rest, but even if he didn't say it, she could guess that the Pei family in L City was renowned and had a history dating back to the Qing Dynasty. The ancestors of the Pei family were already high-ranking officials at that time. Although the times have changed greatly, the Pei family has stood firm with its unique way of survival and strong wrist, until now.

  So many years of accumulated wealth and connections, enough to summon the wind and rain, and Pei Muni is the only male heir of the Pei family in this generation, the little overlord in everyone's hands, and also the one who can turn his hand into cloud and cover his hand with rain.

  So he wanted to get rid of her, and it was just a matter of lifting his finger.

  Su Wanwan thought about it, her back slightly chilled, she bit her lower lip heavily, although she was full of unwillingness in her heart, but she was powerless. She had been very clear that year, Pei Muniang was a man who said one and not two, his words were like imperial edicts, not allowing refusal.

  So, is she really going to break up with Ling Yu?

  -

  The car drove further and further away, and the figure in the rearview mirror also grew smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

  Pei Muni's gaze remained fixed on the rearview mirror, his eyes glazing over as he spaced out for a while. His hand involuntarily caressed the ring hanging at his chest, and a hint of subtle mockery crept into his eyes.

  From the moment he decided to return home, he knew that he would meet her again, but did not know that she would meet him in that identity.

  It turned out that she was Ling Yu's beloved, whom he had been talking about for half a year.

  Do you love me?

  Pei Muren muttered these two words, his entire body's breath suddenly becoming icy and profound.

  -

  Su Wanwan picked up her phone three times and put it down twice, repeating this process for a long time, but she still couldn't bring herself to make the call.

  She had been dating Gong Lingyu for half a year, and their feelings had always been very stable. Just a few days ago, she had agreed to his proposal, everything was going well, how could she bring herself to tell Lingyu that they should break up? And why did Pei Muyan have the right to make such a request of her?

  The most important thing is... she can't back out of the engagement. If she doesn't marry Ling Yu, the Su family will be ruined by her own hands, and she can't do that.

  Maybe Pei Muni is just scaring her? After all, Ling Yu is his cousin, and today their relationship seems pretty good, he will not do anything to her for the sake of Ling Yu's face.

  A day's time had quietly passed in her endless entanglement and unease, when Su Wanwan came to herself, the time had already passed twelve o'clock.

  Su Wanwan suddenly gasped, her heart skipping a beat as it seemed to hang in mid-air. She hadn't done what Pei Mochen had told her to do; how would he... deal with her?

  Su Wanwan lay in bed, her mind uncontrollably filled with these terrible thoughts, trembling with fear as she waited for dawn.
