Jiang Lan gritted her teeth, the pain making her face paler. Staring into those deep eyes, she gradually gave up her resistance.

Lu Jingchi made no next move. He stared at Jiang Lan until she was completely quiet, then he loosened his grip on her.

Jiang Lan slid down from the table and slumped on the ground helplessly. She covered her lower abdomen and did not dare to move.

It hurts every time I move.

"Think carefully about what I say." The man's voice came from above his head.

He turned around to leave, but his trousers suddenly tightened. When he looked down, it was Jiang Lan holding his trousers.

Jiang Lan slowly raised her head and looked at him with a white face. As long as she wasn't blind, she could tell that she was in pain now.

She trembled her lips and took two deep breaths before suppressing the pain.

Jiang Lan let him go, raised his hand, and gestured slowly: Since you hate me and everything around me so much, why don't you divorce me?

His eyes dimmed and he suddenly squatted down.

Lu Jingchi raised her chin and said, "You are really losing your memory. Have you forgotten what I told you so quickly?"

Jiang Lan looked at him helplessly, but she had not forgotten it.

He said not to see Si Ning and not to mention the word divorce.

She disobeyed him every time.

Jiang Lan felt that she was like a dog locked in a cage at this moment, with no freedom except wagging its tail to beg for mercy from its master.

Jiang Lan: Is this what you mean by taking care of me for the rest of my life? Lock me in a cage for the rest of my life.

Lu Jingchi stared at the tears in her eyes. He didn't know what was flashing in his eyes, but he couldn't catch it.

After a long while, he said: "If you insist on understanding it this way, that's fine."

The last three words were like a thunderbolt hitting her head hard, making her dizzy.

She closed her eyes, tears fell from the corners of her eyes, her face was ashen, it was her compromise.

After a moment, Jiang Lan opened her eyes and gestured to him: If I never see Si Ning again, can you get her out of her current predicament?

"Jiang Lan, I'm not negotiating terms with you."

Lu Jingchi rejected her without hesitation. He released Jiang Lan's jaw, stood up and said, "It seems you have made a choice."

After saying that, he walked out of the study without looking back.

Jiang Lan sat slumped on the ground, her head hanging down, and her messy hair covering most of her face.

Lu Jingchi went downstairs, and Grandma Zhang happened to take out her things. When she saw Lu Jingchi, she stood there awkwardly, with nothing to hide in her hands.

Her rags are too dirty and incompatible with this beautiful villa.

Lu Jingchi took the coat on the rack, glanced at her, and said, "Don't let me see this pile of rags again."

"I'll take it right now..." Grandma Zhang paused and looked at Lu Jingchi in confusion, "Master, what... do you mean?"

Lu Jingchi said calmly: "Since she lets you live here, keep an eye on her for me."

Grandma Zhang stood there stunned for a long time. Only when Lu Jingchi walked away did she realize what he meant.

A sour smile suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face.

Grandma Zhang threw away her pile of rags and went upstairs to find Jiang Lan.

Seeing Jiang Lan at the door of the study, her clothes were disheveled and she fell to the ground. Grandma Zhang was stunned and quickly went in to help her up.

"Lanlan, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Lan slowly opened her eyes. Cold sweat covered her forehead and neck, as if she had been fished out of water.

She raised her hand with difficulty and placed it on her lower abdomen.

Only then did Grandma Zhang see the blood stains on her pants.
