Lydia Lin was practically going crazy with anticipation!
Of course she was ready!
She was determined to be with Charles Yin!
She wanted to be Charles Yin's woman!
She wanted to have Charles Yin's child!
She wanted Cecilia Gu out of her sight for good!
She was going to take back everything that was supposed to be hers!
After all this preparation, today was finally the day!
"Charles! What are you saying? Of course not!" Lydia Lin gasped coyly, her voice sugary sweet. "Charles, as long as you want, I’ll do anything for you tonight... whatever you desire..."
Charles Yin didn’t waste another word. He grabbed a towel and firmly tied Lydia Lin’s hands behind her back!
Lydia Lin was stunned at first, then she laughed. "So you like to play this way! As long as you enjoy it, I’ll go along with you!"
Charles Yin ignored her flirtatious words. After tying Lydia Lin up, he stuffed a towel into her mouth, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered, "Since you’re so eager to offer yourself up tonight, I’ll just have to grant your wish! Lydia, after tonight, we’re done for good."
Without waiting for Lydia Lin’s reaction, Charles Yin picked up his phone and called Alex. "I remember there’s a guy named Mark who boxes with me. Tell him to come to my lounge right now—I have a gift for him."
At first, Lydia Lin didn’t understand what Charles Yin meant.
But after he finished the call, something clicked for Lydia Lin.
Why was he asking someone else to come here?
She was wearing so little...
Wait, what did he mean by that?
A gift? What gift?
Who’s the gift?
He wants to give himself away as a gift to another man?
No! Absolutely not!
Don't do this!
Charles, you can't treat me like this!
Lydia Lin started struggling wildly, but who was Charles Yin?
How could she possibly break free from the knot he tied so easily?
"Don’t you love giving gifts to people? Well? How does it feel to be the gift?" Charles Yin’s lips curled into a wicked smile, his mesmerizing gaze intoxicating.
But that very smile sealed Lydia Lin’s fate.
Lydia Lin shook her head desperately at Charles Yin, refusing to accept it.
It shouldn’t be like this... This isn’t how it’s supposed to end...
Charles, you can’t do this to me!
Charles Yin watched Lydia Lin struggle, looking rather pleased.
He’s never been someone you can mess with easily.
Lydia Lin kept crossing his line, again and again.
So, he was going to teach her a lesson she’d never forget.
Soon, Mark knocked and entered from outside. His eyes landed straight on Lydia Lin, whose hands were tied.
Because Lydia Lin struggled, her body looked even more seductive, making Mark practically drool.
"This gift is for you! Don’t worry, she’s still untouched." Charles Yin patted Mark’s shoulder. "You worked hard sparring with me today—this is your reward! Enjoy it."
With that, Charles Yin turned and left the lounge.
Lydia Lin shook her head furiously, watching Charles Yin’s figure fade from view. She’d never felt so hopeless.
Mark stared at her, practically drooling, and Lydia Lin retreated in fear.
But the room was only so big. Where could she go?
Lydia Lin watched helplessly as Mark moved toward her. In that moment, as her body was torn apart, only one thought echoed in her mind: Charles Yin, you are so cruel!
After Charles Yin left the lounge, with Alex’s help, he quickly changed clothes and left the boxing lounge.
As for what happened inside, he no longer cared.
If you dare scheme against him, you’d better be ready to face his wrath!
Charles Yin and his assistants quickly left the boxing lounge.
Even if someone heard noises from the lounge, no one dared to go in.
Because that was Charles Yin’s private lounge.
After work, Cecilia Gu discovered her car had been taken by Charles Yin.
No doubt about it—he did it on purpose.
He could remember to send fruit to Rona Muir and have her make juice for him, so of course he wouldn’t forget she had no car to get home.
Cecilia Gu sighed inwardly. Once again, she couldn’t figure out Charles Yin’s moods.
It was rush hour, and hailing a cab was nearly impossible.
Cecilia Gu stood helplessly by the roadside, watching the endless stream of cars, completely alone.
Just as she was about to give up, a car quietly stopped in front of her.
"Cecilia? What are you doing here?" The passenger window rolled down and a voice called out.
Cecilia Gu froze and looked toward the voice.
Just one glance—and Cecilia Gu’s face changed dramatically!
Zach Zhao!
How does he still have the nerve to greet me?
Sitting in the passenger seat was a pale, pretty woman with a typical influencer’s face, glaring at Cecilia Gu with open hostility.
"Cecilia, why are you here alone? Didn’t you already... Did you get divorced so soon?" Zach Zhao showed no shame at all, looking at Cecilia Gu with a pitiful expression.
Cecilia Gu seemed to have gained a little weight since their breakup, but it hadn’t diminished her graceful aura.
Cecilia Gu had no interest in talking to this man anymore.
"I never thought you’d get divorced just days after getting married," Zach Zhao said, glancing proudly at the influencer beside him.
He was still smug about his decision back then.
Trading Cecilia Gu for all that money and a Bentley was totally worth it!
He later sold the Bentley, used the money to start a big company, and now he’s a local up-and-comer. Tons of beautiful women are dying to be his girlfriend!
He never expected that the man who seemed like a king would tire of Cecilia Gu so quickly.
Tsk, tsk, tsk... If Cecilia Gu knew what was good for her, he wouldn’t mind taking her back.
Of course, she’d have to ditch that holier-than-thou, pure act and kneel before him like those influencer girls, begging for his favor!
"Zach, didn’t you say you’d spend the day with just me? Why are you talking so much nonsense with her? She’s so plain looking, you’re not into her, are you?" The influencer girl asked cautiously.
She noticed Zach Zhao’s gaze toward the woman on the roadside was different, and she instantly felt unhappy.
"What are you thinking? She’s my ex-girlfriend." Zach Zhao kissed the influencer’s face, showing off, "You’re the one I love most now!"
Watching Zach Zhao act so disgustingly, Cecilia Gu felt like she was going to throw up.
Cecilia Gu suddenly questioned her own taste in men.
How blind had she been to risk everything for this man, even trying to run away with him?
Ha!
She used to be so stupid—now she’s just grateful!
Charles Yin might be moody and hard to read, but his character and aura outclass Zach Zhao by miles!
Actually, he’s on a whole different continent!
Cecilia Gu replied with a fake smile, "Sorry to trouble you! But my husband and I are doing great, and we’re not getting divorced. As for you and your influencer girlfriend, I’ll be watching with interest."
"Cecilia, you don’t have to pretend anymore!" Zach Zhao said earnestly, "If you weren’t divorced, why are you standing here alone with no one to pick you up? Cecilia, why don’t you get in my car? I can drive you home. I still remember where you used to live! Stop acting tough—I’m not a stranger. You don’t have to put on a brave face in front of me."
Cecilia Gu couldn’t help but laugh out of anger.
How blind was I before?
She wished she could dig out her own eyes and stomp on them!
"Cecilia, for the sake of our old relationship, I won’t laugh at you," Zach Zhao continued, acting concerned. "Even though we can’t start over, I’ll still take care of you! As long as you’re as obedient and sensible as before, I won’t abandon you!"
Screw you!
Even Cecilia Gu’s poise was about to crumble!
I’ve seen shameless people, but this... Well, he could pair up with Lydia Lin!
"Cecilia, stop pretending! I know you too well—you always care about saving face!" Zach Zhao sighed. "We were classmates for years and dated for two. I know your personality! You always make things hard for yourself—why bother? Are you short on money now? How about this: have dinner with me and I’ll give you some cash. That way, we can finally put our past behind us."
Can I curse him out?
Can I kill him?
Someone give me a knife!
I’d stab him to death, one slice at a time!
Which dog’s eyes are blind enough to say I’m short on money?
Short on money, my ass!
Open your damn eyes and see—everything I’m wearing is limited edition!
Or maybe you don’t even recognize these limited editions?
Are those eyes just for show?
Cecilia Gu was fuming, and not far away, a Rolls-Royce sat quietly.
Charles Yin couldn’t hold back anymore—he laughed so hard he was out of breath.
Even the assistants were holding back their laughter, their stomachs aching.
No one dared laugh out loud at the young lady’s jokes!
They heard every word of Cecilia Gu and Zach Zhao’s conversation, loud and clear!
Zach Zhao, trying to show off, even opened the convertible—acting rich and cocky.
So everything he said reached Charles Yin’s ears.
Charles Yin was pretty mad at Cecilia Gu, but seeing her get riled up by Zach Zhao made him feel protective instead.
He quickly texted Cecilia Gu: "Need me to back you up? The deal is you cook me a feast tonight."
Just as Cecilia Gu was fuming at Zach Zhao, she got Charles Yin’s message.
