Features: At dusk, Lingzhi came back. Yan Ting stared at him blankly, hoping he would give her an explanation—about the motorcyclist at the wedding, about the woman in his phone. What's wrong, Ting? Lingzhi seemed a bit aggrieved. I was just about to tell you that my phone somehow got stolen. Who stole it? Was it that woman? Yan Ting sneered. Don't you trust me? Do you doubt my love? Lingzhi also grew angry. He retorted, his voice loud. They had never argued this loudly during their love affair. This was the first time. And it happened on the third day of their marriage. In the past, whenever Yan Ting got angry, Lingzhi would comfort her, appease her, and apologize until she smiled. But this time was different. Lingzhi's attitude was also firm, which made Yan Ting even more intolerant. She sneered, pointing at the motorcyclist in the wedding photo and asking Lingzhi, Who is he? How did he end up at our wedding? Lingzhi's face stiffened for a few seconds. He was also surprised. How did he not notice the camera's lens at the time? He had met that guy during the when the bride left to change her dress, and unexpectedly, he was captured on camera so clearly. The female voice in his phone, he had already prepared an excuse, so he had been righteous earlier. But how to explain this scene? He was extremely nervous and didn’t know what to do. Seeing that Lingzhi had nothing to say, Yan Ting pressed further: Tell me, what's going on here? Seemingly cornered, Lingzhi had an idea and decided to kneel before Yan Ting, saying, Ting, tell you the truth, he’s a friend of mine, a very good friend. The car accident was something we planned together. I deeply loved you back then and hoped you would accept my love, but you were always lukewarm. I thought that if you were in extreme pain and loneliness and I helped you, you might accept my love. That’s why there was the accident. I didn’t expect this guy to crash you so badly, almost taking your life. This damn guy! Can you forgive me, Ting? I only did this because I love you so much. I couldn’t help but look at the man kneeling before me, Yan Ting’s heart trembled uncontrollably. Yes, he was the man she deeply loved. But she couldn’t imagine that this man, in his desperation to love a woman and make her accept him, had meticulously planned such a terrifying car accident! Such a man was terrifying! She couldn’t resist slapping him hard. Instantly, a few faint red marks appeared on Lingzhi’s face. He raised his twisted face and stood straight, defiant, saying, Hit me, Ting. As long as it makes you feel better. I know I was wrong, but no matter what, Lingzhi loves you—it’s a fact! While saying this, Lingzhi was still kneeling. Tears shimmered in his eyes. Behind those tears lay a terribly frightening gaze—perhaps that was what hatred looked like. Yan Ting didn’t notice. While trying to grasp the truth behind the car accident, Yan Ting was also moved by Lingzhi’s words. Maybe, because he loved her so deeply, he didn’t care what means he used. She asked herself, If that accident hadn’t happened, would I have accepted his love? A woman’s heart can sometimes be softer than water. As she thought, Yan Ting couldn’t help but shed two hot tears. You’re so heartless, to dare to harm me like this! She raised her fists and struck the man again and again, but with each blow, her strength grew weaker. Lingzhi, seizing the opportunity, noticed Yan Ting’s psychological shift. He knew that the joy of their new marriage still lingered in the new house. As long as he kept the sails of love high, he could easily dominate this wealthy and simple woman. Lingzhi quickly stood up, grabbed Yan Ting in his arms, and walked toward the wide and soft new bed. Yan Ting didn’t resist. She didn’t know that the car accident was just one part of the entire conspiracy Lingzhi had meticulously planned. P15-17
