Not all sugar babies would end up as the female lead.

The first thing Pei Yu did after returning to the country was to look for Liang Yan.

This was the first time in five years that Pei Yu took the initiative to look for Liang Yan. He appeared at Liang Yan’s door with a cold aura around him.

Liang Yan was notified early in the morning. She washed up early and changed into Pei Yu’s favorite dress, waiting for his arrival. As the perfect lover, she must not have any flaws.

When Liang Yan opened the door, the man was replying to his assistant’s message. When he saw her, his expression was as cold as ever, as if the woman in front of him was not his lover.

“Come here.” After hanging up the phone, Pei Yu’s voice was as cold as the snow in late winter. It landed on Liang Yan’s heart, making her shiver uncontrollably.

She walked up to the man and looked up at him, obedient and docile.

In the face of beauty, Pei Yu’s expression was still cold. His slender fingers pinched her chin, and without a word, he leaned over and kissed her.

Liang Yan still obediently endured the invasion of the man’s lips.

After the kiss, Pei Yu carried Liang Yan bridal style and strode towards the bedroom.

After being Pei Yu’s lover for five years, Liang Yan clearly understood how fiery this noble man was about such things.

And all she could do was endure it obediently every time the man invaded and occupied her.

A night of promiscuity.

When Liang Yan woke up, the sky was already bright. Pei Yu was already dressed. Seeing that she had woken up, there was no other expression on his handsome face. His voice was indifferent. “You don’t have to come looking for me anymore.”

Liang Yan was stunned.

Before she could wake up from the joy of Pei Yu coming to find her and spending the night here, she was caught off guard by these words.

“What do you mean?” Liang Yan’s voice was a little hoarse.

“The contract is terminated early.” Pei Yu threw a piece of paper in front of Liang Yan. “One hundred million, three buildings, all for you as compensation. Of course, if you have any other requests, you can also mention them.”

Looking at the contract Pei Yu threw over, Liang Yan finally understood what the man meant.

He wanted to end their relationship.

It turned out that he came over for the night not because he had her in his heart, but because he wanted to end their relationship…

The intense pain gripped Liang Yan’s heart tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Suppressing her heartache, Liang Yan’s lips twitched. She wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. “But… it isn’t time yet?”

She wanted to spend more time with him.

In the remaining three months of her life.

“I’m tired of you.” The man didn’t seem reluctant at all. He looked at Liang Yan with eyes as cold as ice. It was as if the woman in front of him wasn’t the lover who had accompanied him for five years, but a plaything that could be summoned and waved away at will.

Liang Yan’s heart ached so much at the man’s words that she almost suffocated.

“Mm, I see.” Liang Yan tried her best to calm herself down and not reveal any flaws. She picked up the contract and smiled as brightly as usual. “Alright, I’m also tired anyway.”

After five years, she finally woke up. Pei Yu’s heart could not be warmed.

Liang Yan wanted to protect her last bit of dignity.

Pei Yu did not react when he heard that. “It’s good that you understand.”

“Then, since the contract is over, I can find a boyfriend, right?” Liang Yan’s smile became brighter and brighter, as if she was really looking forward to the end of the contract. “I’ve wanted to get married for a long time.”

The man fastened his tie and was not affected by Liang Yan’s words at all. His face was still cold. “Then I’ll give you a big gift as a blessing.”

“Alright, thank you in advance, Young Master Pei.” Liang Yan’s smile froze for a moment as she forced herself to say this.

As the ruler of the business empire in A City, he had always done whatever he wanted. It was her wishful thinking that she could warm his heart.

The man hummed coldly and did not look at her again. He strode away without hesitation.

Liang Yan’s heart turned cold inch by inch as the man left.

The pain spread to every part of her body.

No matter how much she loved him, Liang Yan did not dare to show any reluctance.

Disguise was already her norm.

She only dared to test him jokingly by saying that she wanted to date someone else.

As expected, the man did not react at all.

It seemed that he was really tired of her.

But what should she do…

Liang Yan’s eyes were filled with tears as they fell onto the blanket.

She really wanted to spend her last moments with Pei Yu.

Even this lowly wish could not be fulfilled?

Not long after Pei Yu left, his assistant, Li Jie, came in to get the contract.

Seeing Liang Yan’s tear-stained face, Li Jie was a little surprised. After all, in the past five years, he had never seen Liang Yan have any other emotions.

It had always been a perfect smile.

“Miss Liang Yan,” Li Jie said after some deliberation, “The president instructed me to come and get the contract. Are you… alright?”

“It’s okay, give me the pen.” Liang Yan wiped her tears in a sorry state, took the pen from Li Jie, and signed her name on the contract.

The tip of the pen drew a perfect arc on the contract. Liang Yan looked at her name on the contract and her heart ached again. It was so painful that she almost fainted.

From now on, she and Pei Yu would take two paths.
