The morning sun shone in, and the woman lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes. Before she regained consciousness and returned to the cage, she moved her body, feeling extremely sore. When she regained consciousness, she abruptly sat up straight.

As the quilt slipped off her shoulders, Xu Zhengxi glanced down at himself. The scars on his body were enough to prove what happened last night.

Her body, which was sitting upright, suddenly went limp. She laid on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

She poured a cup of water and drank it. The door to the bedroom was pushed open, and Xu Zhengxi turned to look, as though he had met the eyes of the man who had just looked at him.

Shen Qiannan's eyes were deep and dark, without a hint of emotion. He was not like last night where he grabbed her waist and forced her into a corner.

She knew it was her first time, yet she did not give him any warmth. It was more like what he said ? the result of provoking him. A cruel punishment.

The man walked toward her, and the atmosphere in the room was stiff and cold. He didn't mention last night, their anniversary, or what he had done to her.

He merely took her cup, poured out the cold water in it, changed the warm water, and returned it to her hand. Shen Qiannan gazed into her eyes with a cold expression, "Breakfast is ready, if you have finished washing up, you can come down and eat it."

Xu Zhengxi held the cup in her hand, "Last night," she paused for a moment, and her clear voice sounded neither sad nor happy, "Why did you have to treat me like that?"

The man stared at her silently for a few seconds, then said in a low voice, "I don't want you to go and harm others again."

Xu Zhengxi's fingertips which were holding onto the cup suddenly turned white, she turned her body, and looked straight at him: "What do you mean?"

"Literally." She turned around, and her white neck was still covered with the kiss marks he left behind last night. Shen Qiannan's gaze dimmed a bit as he shifted his gaze away, "You wanted to marry me no matter what means you used, but now you're sick of me and want to divorce me again. I seem to be someone who will suffer a loss, hm?"

Xu Zhengxi was silent for a long time. She spent five years of her youth on him, even giving up on studying abroad for him, giving up on her own dream.

"You are not a person who would think about others," Xu Zhengxi sneered, "If I really let you go, wouldn't you be even happier bringing disaster upon others?"

Shen Qiannan did not argue with her on this issue, but unexpectedly, he grabbed her face.

"You have only stayed in your room for five years," he said, looking into her eyes, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "You haven't really experienced pain yet, how can I be happy?"

After Shen Qiannan finished speaking, he changed his clothes in front of her and went back to the company.

Xu Zhengxi stood in place for a very long time without moving an inch.

After a while, Nanny Chen came to the villa and coincidentally saw Xu Zhengxi carrying his backpack and was about to leave.

She dressed as usual, the Nanny Chen smiled as he watched her leave. Xu Zhengxi also smiled at her, then walked away from her for a few steps, then turned and said: "You don't have to cook my food tonight, I think he won't come back to eat. You can go back after cleaning."

Nanny Chen looked at her in shock, "Does madam have a date tonight?"
