On her wedding night, her mother-in-law slept in the same bed as her husband for three years. The woman angrily filed for divorce, and then...

Chapter 1: You Flatter Me Too Much

"Mubai, be gentle..."

Mo Nuan's face was pressed against the office desk. Glancing at the staff coming and going outside the glass window, she softly pleaded with the man who was currently ramming recklessly inside her body, "Mubai, can we wait a bit? I have something..."

This place was his office.

Although it was one-way mirrored glass and no one outside could see anything inside, she always felt a shameful sense of being watched.

Before she could finish, Ji Mubai slapped her on the butt with a "smack." He continued his movements while curling his lips in a wicked smile, "Speak!"

The man's tone was cold, carrying a trace of impatience. Mo Nuan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Ever since her father was imprisoned, almost everyone she had gone to beg for help had used that same tone.

But Mubai shouldn't be like that!

He was the man she loved and who loved her, her only support now!

"Mubai, you must have a way to save Dad, right?" Mo Nuan struggled to turn her face to look at him as she spoke.

But with her back to him, all she could see was the swaying shadow of his tall figure looming over her as he thrust.

"Heh, you flatter me too much!" Ji Mubai sneered. He gripped her slender waist with both hands, sped up, let out a satisfied low groan, and pulled out of her body.

Mo Nuan was so battered she lost her senses. After he completely withdrew, she slowly got up and looked at him in astonishment, "Mubai, what are you saying?"

The man before her was still the Ji Mubai she loved, but why was the indifference on his face so unfamiliar?

Ji Mubai adjusted his clothes and pants, then glanced at her lightly, the corner of his mouth curling in mockery, "Mo Anguo not only embezzled hundreds of millions in migrant workers' hard-earned money, but also cut corners to build shoddy projects! Now the building isn't even finished, and over a dozen people died in the collapse... Human lives are at stake. Do you really think I have the ability to save him?"

If his words, dripping with thick sarcasm, left her stunned, then the loathing on his face and in his eyes at this moment chilled her heart completely!

"Mubai, don't you know what kind of person my father is? Do you really believe those slanderous words against him? You..." Mo Nuan's eyes instantly reddened, her voice trembling.

How much her father had liked him before, and he had respected her father just the same. She had even been jealous because of it, saying they were the real father and son, and she was like an outsider married into the family.

But now... how had her Mubai suddenly become so heartless?

"Heh!" Ji Mubai sneered. He stepped forward and pinched her chin with his hand, his eyes narrowing coldly, "Mo Nuan, the fact that I can protect you from being implicated by your father is already the limit of my benevolence!"

Mo Nuan's body shook violently. She stared into his eyes in disbelief, but couldn't help shivering.

Those deep eyes that were usually filled with tenderness and affection now held nothing but ice-cold indifference!

"Mubai, you're not this kind of person..."

She had barely opened her mouth when he impatiently cut her off coldly, "Because I didn't know before that your father was so insatiably greedy! Even if I, Ji Mubai, had the ability, I would not save an executioner whose hands are stained with the blood of laborers!"

With that, he released her, turned away, and said coldly, "Go back! Don't come to me about this matter again!"

"No!" Mo Nuan grew anxious. She stepped forward and grabbed his arm, saying urgently, "Mubai, my father really is innocent. Besides you, no one can help me..."

"Shut up! I don't want to say the same thing twice!" Ji Mubai frowned impatiently and forcefully flung Mo Nuan's hand away.

Her frail body hadn't been steady to begin with. Pushed like that, her whole body stumbled back several steps and fell onto the desk. The corner of the desk hit her waist, and her forehead happened to knock against the phone on the desk... In an instant, a dull pain shot through both her forehead and waist at the same time.

Her heart felt as if he had ruthlessly gripped it too, the pain making her breath catch!

Just as she was about to get up, the phone screen in her peripheral vision suddenly lit up. When she inadvertently saw the familiar name in the news headline pushed by a social media app, her whole body froze abruptly, her eyes full of shock!

Chapter 2: His Scandal with Someone Else

Almost simultaneously, the headlines pushed by several social media apps were all identical!

"Massive racy photos exposed! Shengshi Group President Ji Mubai holding hands with rich beauty Feng Xue'er?"

"National husband Ji Mubai's secret romance exposed. Who is the woman in the ambiguous photos?"

"Ji Mubai VS Feng Xue'er! Our husband is finally going to marry our wife!"

……

Mo Nuan thought she had misread, but when the entire screen was filled with the words "racy photos," "Ji Mubai," and "Feng Xue'er," she had no choice but to grab the phone and tap on the message.

Beneath the fiery headline were even more fiery photos!

There were ones of the two with arms around each other's shoulders, passionately kissing... all kinds of head-touching and body-touching...

What shocked her even more was that these photos were not blurry candid shots, but rather seemed like affection deliberately shown off for the camera.

The female lead was indeed the currently popular leading actress Feng Xue'er, and who else could the male lead be but her Ji Mubai?

Mo Nuan's hand trembled as she held up the phone, "Mubai, what's going on with these rumors? Since when did you become interested in acting?"

Her first instinct was that this was a street shoot! It must be for some promotion!

Because the Ji Mubai she knew had always been a low-key person, not accepting interviews, unwilling to be exposed... Those paparazzi who followed his car all day at most caught some blurry silhouettes of him getting in and out of the car.

Ji Mubai casually glanced at the photos on the screen, then lazily adjusted his tie, "It's not a rumor. It's the truth!"

Not a rumor, but the truth!

These words struck Mo Nuan's heart like a heavy hammer. Her feet staggered uncontrollably, "You... what did you say?"

She was clearly his fiancée!

Although it had never been officially announced, who in this circle didn't know?

The man elegantly turned around, picked up the documents on the desk, and said lightly while reading, "As the news says, I accidentally slept with Xue'er, so I have to be responsible for Xue'er."

Accidentally slept with her?

Mo Nuan was struck by his casual words, her whole body trembling violently. The shock in her eyes was gradually replaced by self-mockery and disbelief, "Responsible? Then you slept with me for three years. Don't you plan to be responsible for me?"

As soon as she asked this, she realized her voice had somehow become extremely hoarse.

Only then did Ji Mubai's gaze shift from the documents. He looked at her indifferently, then suddenly curled his lips in a wicked smile, "Mo Nuan, you don't still think you're the daughter of the Haicheng Chamber of Commerce president, do you? Xue'er is different from you. She has status. And you... right now you're just the daughter of a murderer. Neither I nor my Shengshi Group can afford to be dragged down by you."

If his earlier attitude and these racy photos and rumors were just a shocking bolt from the blue for Mo Nuan, then Ji Mubai's words were the ruthless whip that beat her into hell!

"Mubai, are you joking with me? How could you say such things?" She lifted her head, trying hard to hold back her tears, trying hard to look into his eyes, wanting to see that everything he said was a lie!

Three parts heartlessness, three parts indifference, three parts mockery, one part pity.

Other than these things that made her blood run cold, she saw nothing.

No! This was not the Ji Mubai she knew! He was not!

Her Ji Mubai's eyes were always warm. When had they ever been so cold?

He seemed to read the hesitation in her heart and cruelly curled his lips, "Mo Nuan, people change! Moreover, it's you father and daughter who deceived me from the very beginning!"

After saying this coldly, Ji Mubai closed the documents in his hand and turned to stride away.

That utterly cold silhouette extinguished the last trace of hope in Mo Nuan's heart!

She was not a naive girl. How could she not know that people change?

She had firmly believed that even if the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled, Ji Mubai's feelings for her would absolutely withstand wind and rain!

How could a man who once held her in his palm and placed her at the tip of his heart change just like that?

Mo Nuan's heart sank all at once.

Chapter 3: He Sold Her

Haicheng No. 1 Prison.

Mo Nuan watched Mo Anguo, whose hair had turned white overnight, walk toward her in prison uniform and handcuffs. She quickly picked up the phone beside her and tried hard to give him a smile.

But inside, she was pierced with pain by those handcuffs gleaming with cold light.

From the time the incident happened until now, every time Mo Nuan saw her father, she would find him a little older.

The father who used to be high-spirited and, even in middle age, handsome enough to make countless young girls turn their heads, was gone forever.

When Mo Anguo saw his daughter, he smiled lovingly, but still could not hide the desolation in the depths of his eyes.

"Dad, how have you been these past few days? I'm already looking for evidence and a lawyer. I'll help you clear your name soon." Mo Nuan forcefully controlled the surging heartache within her and looked at Mo Anguo gently.

Mo Anguo smiled faintly, "The innocent are innocent. I never did those things myself, so my conscience is clear. It's just... those innocent people who were killed are to be pitied..."

As soon as he spoke, Mo Anguo's already low voice became even hoarser. His eyes reddened instantly, his face full of guilt.

Although he had been framed, that shoddy building did belong to the Mo Corporation. As the chairman of the Mo Corporation, he could not escape responsibility.

Mo Nuan's hand involuntarily pressed against the thick soundproof glass. She still made herself smile, "Dad, your daughter believes you! You must believe in your daughter too. I will definitely find a way to clear your name!"

Mo Guoan seemed to think of something. He leaned forward and lowered his voice, "Nuan Nuan, don't trust Ji Mubai too much, especially at a time like this."

At the mention of Ji Mubai's name, Mo Nuan was startled, "Dad, why do you say that? You and Mubai..."

"Yes! I do like Mubai, and I can get along well with him!" Mo Guoan interrupted his daughter, frowning, "But I always feel that Mubai is too deep. I always feel there's a big secret hidden in his heart... In short, don't let him get involved in my affairs. It's better for him too. If you really need to find someone to help, go to your Uncle Wang. Right now, he's the only one capable of helping me."

Mo Nuan bit her lip, "Dad, what secret do you think Mubai is hiding from us?"

Mo Guoan shook his head, "I don't know. These past few days in prison I calmed down and thought about it. Ever since he came back to the country three years ago and approached you, I've felt he seemed to have some purpose... But I still can't determine what it is."

Mo Nuan looked at the gloom between her father's brows, clenched the hand resting on her knee, and smiled, "Dad, don't overthink it. I'll be careful. Right now, no one is more important to me than you."

The fact that she and Ji Mubai had already broken up, she swallowed back before saying, afraid her father would worry.

Mo Guoan couldn't help but lower his eyes and wipe his tears, "Nuan Nuan, Dad is sorry. I've made you suffer."

"Dad, I'm your daughter. You raised me all these years. Now that you've been framed, how could I not take care of you?" Mo Nuan pressed her palm against the glass, making the motion of stroking her father's white hair, choking up.

"Good daughter..." Mo Guoan's old tears streamed down.

After leaving the prison, Mo Nuan had no time to ponder her father's words about Ji Mubai. She first contacted Uncle Wang, who arranged to meet her at a KTV three nights later.

When Mo Nuan pushed open the door of the KTV private room at the appointed time and place, what she saw was not the familiar Uncle Wang, but a group of strange men with a thuggish air.

Mo Nuan was stunned and said apologetically, "Sorry, wrong room."

She turned to leave, but both her wrists were grabbed directly by two men, "No mistake! We brothers have been waiting for you! The Mo Corporation's daughter!"

Mo Nuan's heart tightened. She forcefully pulled her hands back, "Who are you? I'm looking for Wang Jianguo, Uncle Wang!"

The bald man sitting in the middle of the sofa stood up, rubbed his hands with a lewd smile, and walked toward her, "Your Uncle Wang sold you to us. You didn't know?"
