What hurt her deeper than the harsh slap was her ex-boyfriend's cruelty. Then, he came back into her life, saved her from danger, and swooped her into a fairy tale romance. However, fairy tales never lasted. She thought that he was out of her life for good, but how would ever he let her go? He played his tricks one more time and barged into her new life. Will he win her back? Will she forgive him? Where will their love go?
Unable to avoid the slap coming from the beautiful woman, Polly Han was thrown off balance and crashed against the window. Feeling so sad and losing hope, she was at such a loss at this moment.
"Fanny!" a man suddenly yelled out, grabbing the woman's hand.
A faint glimmer of hope suddenly ignited within Polly's heart.
However, the man didn't so much as take a look at her. Right now, all his attention was focused on the woman right next to him. Then, he went on and said in a gentle and pampering tone, "Please take care not to hurt your hand. I'm going to end up feeling so distressed if anything bad happened to you."
And before she could even feel the pain from the wound she got, Polly received another slap on her face, one that was even more painful than the first. This made her feel so lightheaded, making it seem as though there were tens of thousands of bees floating and buzzing above her head.
The man walked toward her, pointing at her forehead, and said in a firm and rather impatient tone, "Polly Han, I thought we already discussed this. We have come to terms with us going our separate ways. Given the way you've treated Fanny like this, you can't go blaming me for being rude to you! I'm warning you. Don't you ever bother me again! Just the sight of you is making me sick!"
Clenching her fists so hard, to the point that it was digging into her skin, Polly couldn't hold it in any longer and was on the verge of breaking down. With tears welling up in her eyes, she watched as the two people in front of her embraced each other as they walked away.
"Why did you stop me?" The woman's coquettish voice was loud and clear.
"Fanny, a woman like her is not worth giving your slap to," the man replied, softly pulling the woman closer in his arms. Then, he went on and continued, "Honey, you don't have to get so worked up because of her. You're the one I love now."
"But what about when compared with her?"
"She's already a part of my past. In contrast, you are the one I love the most, now or in the future. "
A cold breeze blew against her face. Feeling like her heart had been frozen, Polly managed to pull herself together little by little.
'Be it in the past, now, or in the future, the one I love most will always be you!'
How ironic the words were!
Her boyfriend, Kevin Yan, the man who swore he loved her and would never change no matter what, became Fanny Li's boyfriend in less than half a year. These words weren't meant for her anymore but for someone else.
Truth be told, she had heard people gossiping about it in the university, but she didn't believe it until today.
Looking back on that moment when Fanny challenged her, Polly Han finally knew that it was true.
Now, she came to the sudden realization that no pure love existed in this world. If you stopped for even a short while, that would just be because you haven't found someone better yet.
Yes, that's right!
Upon leaving the mall, she walked on the street alone and so downhearted, much like a person walking in the rain at night. Out of frustration, she forcefully stomped on the floor.
In all of A City, this road was the one which was most bustling with activity. As for the traffic, it was also just as busy as usual. On both sides of the street, people kept on flowing solemnly, and there were magnificent buildings all around being illuminated by the sunlight. Despite all of that, in her eyes, everything was grey.
"It's her! It's actually her! It was this bitch! She was the one who shamelessly tried to seduce Fanny's boyfriend!"
From out of the blue, dozens of students ran over and flocked around Polly. They had malicious looks on their faces, so much so that they looked like they could swallow a person whole.
Out of reflex, Polly tucked a few strands of hair behind her ears and took a step back. "What are you planning to do?"
Pointing at her, the first girl with cherry red lips ordered the other girls, "All of you, go get her! Let's teach this bitch a lesson! Strip all of her clothes off in the street for everyone to see! Let's see if she would still have the nerve to act so arrogant in the future! Get the camera ready!"
Polly had read on the news somewhere before about a poor girl who had been bullied by a group of mean girls. Never would she have expected that she was going to end up being so unlucky today.
The relationship she had with Kevin was open to the public. Meaning to say, today was the first time she had ever seen Fanny. Malicious gossip about her trying to seduce Fanny's boyfriend, being arrogant, and other stuff like that was complete nonsense. None of those were real.
That being said, how could she make a choice right now?
Before she could do anything, five or six girls approached her, pressed her on the ground and started stripping her off all of her clothes. Pointing the camera toward her, the leader of the group instructed the others, "It's going to affect the shooting effect! Move her a little to the left. Come a bit closer. Alright! That's perfect."
Putting up a vain struggle, Polly desperately tried her best to resist with all of her strength. But things were happening so fast that she couldn't even tell whether they had already taken her clothes off or not. All she could feel was that it was getting colder and colder. Unable to put up a fight, she raised her hand to cover her face in an attempt to hide her embarrassment.
Outside the crowd, Fanny held Kevin's hand and told him with a smug look on her face, "So, what do you think, Kevin? Do you think that this was a good way to completely cut her off?"
The hand that was holding Fanny trembled ever so slightly. From the expression in his eyes, it was apparent that he found this scene unbearable to watch. Be that as it might, he managed to regain composure and put on a straight face. "Well, I think it's a great idea! That's what she gets for acting like such a little bitch! Fanny, let's go."
"No way! I want to stay here and watch everything until the end! You have to watch it with me too!" Fanny relentlessly said. "What? Do you mean to tell me that you can't bear to see her like that? You still have feelings for that girl, don't you?"
"Nonsense! What are you even saying? If that's what you want, then I'm going to stay here and keep watching with you." Giving her an affectionate look, he focused his gaze on Fanny and said, "Whatever it may be, I will love anything that you like."

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?"
