The busy signal from the other end of the call quickly came through. Cheng Ying’s fingers tightened around her phone, her thin fingers clenching bit by bit, veins bulging from the exertion. She deliberately didn’t mention that she went to Leng Yixiu’s company, just to verify the truth in Assistant Chen’s words. Now it seems... Cheng Ying closed her eyes in pain, her heart suddenly feeling weak, as if something was slipping away from her life, bit by bit. She reached out her hand, trying hard to grasp it, but the more effort she put in, the farther Leng Yixiu drifted from her. What caused things to become ? A cold glint flashed across the depths of Cheng Ying’s gloomy eyes. She then dialed another number, and soon, a man’s voice came through the receiver, "Hello, Miss Cheng?" "How’s the investigation I asked you to do?" "Miss Cheng, I was just about to call you. The investigation you requested has some results. I’ve also sent the information to your email. Please check it." "Alright. In that case, I’ll transfer the money to your account." Cheng Ying parked her car by the roadside and immediately opened her email. Actually, from the beginning, Cheng Ying vaguely guessed the reason why Leng Yixiu was drifting away from her. But when she saw the photos of Leng Yixiu and Lin Yixun together, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was completely extinguished. The photos in the email were taken at different places, and the clothes the two of them wore were different. It was evident that the photos were not taken on the same day, which meant that Leng Yixiu and Lin Yixun had been together for more than just a day or two. Cheng Ying scrolled through the photos on her phone one by one, her grip tightening with each picture. Finally, her gaze settled on a picture of them kissing. The background of the photo was a bit blurry due to its candid nature, but she immediately recognized the two people in the photo. Leng Yixiu was tightly holding Lin Yixun in his arms, kissing her passionately. From the looks of it, they seemed like a loving couple. Cheng Ying stared hard at the photo on her phone, her fingers trembling from exertion. Tears dripped onto the icy screen of her phone, why is this happening? Why is the man she loves kissing another woman! No, it’s not like that! It must be that bitch Lin Yixun seducing Yixiu, it must be! With that thought, she elegantly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze turning bloodthirsty: Lin Yixun, I was willing to let you go, but why, why did you force me! After Leng Yixiu left, Assistant Chen was busy dealing with the mess left by the boss. When he finally cancelled all of Leng Yixiu’s appointments for the day, he then remembered something important. He had lied to Cheng Ying earlier. If Cheng Ying called the boss and he pretended to be at the company, wouldn’t the lie be exposed? With that thought, Assistant Chen immediately called Boss Leng. Leng Yixiu took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and answered, "What is it?" "Uh, boss, Miss Cheng didn’t call you just now, did she?" "Hmm." The man responded impatiently, "What’s the matter?" "Just now... Miss Cheng came to the company looking for you." "Why didn’t you tell me sooner?" "I was busy with work and forgot about it." Assistant Chen said timidly, secretly regretting. What had he done? Now that the matter was exposed, the boss would surely come down hard on him. Since he knew this was a thankless task, why didn’t he just not call the boss and tell him Miss Cheng was looking for him? Now it was worse, like a pig looking in a mirror, no one was satisfied! Assistant Chen thought he would get a severe scolding from the boss, but the man said nothing, just a "Got it," and hung up. This unexpected turn made Assistant Chen a bit uneasy. After all, it didn’t seem like the boss’s usual behavior, but thinking about it, the boss had been acting unpredictably lately. With this thought, he calmed his anxious heart a bit. Still, Assistant Chen felt somewhat frustrated. He couldn’t understand, why would the boss ignore his perfect fiancée and have an affair? Now not only was he in a mess, but even Chen, as his assistant, was also on edge. Sigh, from the boss’s situation, Assistant Chen learned a lesson: a man should stay devoted. Don’t play tricks, or you’ll be stressed and exhausted, shortening your life by years. Leng Yixiu returned to the Half Mountain Villa, walked into the living room, and glanced at the sofa, but didn’t see Lin Yixun. He asked Sister Yi, "Where’s Yixun?" "Since calling you, Miss Lin locked herself upstairs. No matter how I knocked, she wouldn’t open the door." The man looked at his watch, his brows furrowing. From the call until now, several hours must have passed. With that thought, he put down his briefcase and quickly walked upstairs. Leng Yixiu knocked on the master bedroom door but received no response. He called out, "Lin Yixun, open the door!" However, there seemed to be no movement inside. At that moment, a news story flashed through his mind about a woman who locked herself in her bedroom and committed suicide by slitting her wrists a few days ago. The thought made a rare trace of fear cross his usually composed face. Without further thought, he raised his leg and kicked the door, but the door lock was too sturdy. He kicked it several times before it finally gave way. Just as Leng Yixiu was anxiously worried, Lin Yixun walked out of the bedroom slowly. She lifted her eyes and gave a cold glance at the still-frightened Leng Yixiu, a mocking smile playing at her lips. "Leng Yixiu, did you think I was going to commit suicide?" Seeing the man’s slight pause, Lin Yixun chuckled knowingly, "So you really thought so. But rest assured, I would never seek my own death, because..." Lin Yixun tiptoed suddenly, her cherry lips close to his ear, "I have not witnessed your miserable end yet, how could I die first?" Lin Yixun’s voice was cold and piercing, intending to provoke his wrath. But instead of anger, the man smiled and with a single pull, he drew her into his arms, and gazed deeply into her eyes, "Do you really wish for my death?" "What do you think?" Lin Yixun’s gaze was as sharp as a knife. "You probably can’t wait to skin me alive, can you? Lin Yixun, I’ll wait for that day," the man said, his voice dark and dangerous. "But when that day comes, I’ll drag you down with me, so we can be a pair of cursed lovers." Original content can be found at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net "Cursed lovers?" Lin Yixun’s eyes were full of mockery, her voice melodious, "Sure, I’ll accompany you to the end."
