She was afraid that Ji Hanjiang would be disgusted with her, and even more afraid that he would resent her. During those two days and two nights, she had thought of him more than she had thought of anyone else except Grandma.

She loved him, loved him so much that she didn’t want to let go of him. She was selfish.

She hoped he’d be able to forgive her for the shameless deceit. It was precisely because she loved him so much that she had to be extra careful and cautious when handling their relationship.

She didn’t wish for him to have a bad impression of her in any way.

No man would be able to accept their girlfriend being sexually humiliated by another man.

Ji Hanjiang sat facing her, silently watching her as she ate. “I’m not hungry. Hurry up and eat. Don’t worry about me.”

Yan Yiren’s lip trembled, her eyes welling up with tears. All of a sudden, her eyes turned watery, blurring her vision.

“Why are you crying?” Ji Hanjiang scrambled to pick up some tissues, before leaning over to help her to wipe away her tears. “Did I say something wrong?”

“No, you didn’t. It’s me… It’s my problem.”

Ji Hanjiang gazed deeply into her eyes. “Yiren…”

Yan Yiren quickly took the tissues from him, making quick work of wiping her tears dry and blowing her nose. She then gave him a small smile. “If I hadn’t caused any trouble, none of this would have happened. I wouldn’t have made you worried either. It’s all my fault…”

Ji Hanjiang didn’t know what on earth she was thinking. Something had happened to her, and it was clearly his fault. He was her boyfriend and should have protected her.

If he had gone with her to the cemetery, or he had dispatched two bodyguards for her, this wouldn’t have happened.

In conclusion, he was the one who wasn’t good enough.

But what was this silly girl saying?

She had made herself shoulder all the responsibility, just so she could lessen his emotional burden…

Ji Hanjiang chuckled bitterly. His dear Yiren! What a silly girl she was. He couldn’t help but love dearly.

…

When night came, Ji Hanjiang was still worried about her, so he stayed in her apartment.

Perhaps this incident had reaffirmed his belief that she was the one for him. For the first time, Yan Yiren patted the space beside her, giving him permission to sleep on the bed with her.

Ji Hanjiang had also understood that today was a special case. He didn’t even think about rejecting her offer and immediately laid down beside. His arms stretched out to embrace her.

Yan Yiren laid on his arm, closing her eyes. “Good night, Hanjiang.”

Ji Hanjiang softly patted her back with one hand as he gave her a peck on the forehead. “Go to sleep. Good night.”

With him by her side, Yan Yiren felt a sense of security. She went out like a light.

Ji Hanjiang wanting to protect her and forced himself to stay awake. The wall lamp illuminated her delicate features.

Yan Yiren turned in her sleep, and the sleeve of her pajamas accidentally rode up, revealing her white arm.

Ji Hanjiang’s eyes darkened. He stretched out his hand, pulling the sleeve up further to reveal her entire arm.

Two purplish-red spots on her arm caught his attention.

Being experienced, he had naturally understood what those spots were…

He didn’t wish to doubt her, but he couldn’t control his hands either. He didn’t know if he was too overwhelmed with shock or anger, but his outstretched hand was actually trembling slightly.

Yan Yiren was fast asleep. As her pajamas shifted open at a certain angle, the sight before his eyes made his pupils contract. The discovery caused him physical pain.

Those marks on her seemed to carry the curse of betrayal. It was as if a sharp knife had stabbed into his chest, too quick for him to avoid…

It was making him bleed non-stop!

He didn’t know. Just how much force did one need to exert to leave such distinct fingerprints?

Ji Hanjiang held his breath. The marks were not only in one spot. The sight of purplish-red spots scattered all over her body was startling.

Overwhelmed with anger, Ji Hanjiang cursed under his breath. “Sh*t!”
