Tang Chi had just squeezed into the subway station that was heading to her college.

There were too many people around, all the college students that were heading back to school were mixed with the working-class people heading home after work. If she had no innate adaptability to rely on, how could she survive on the imperial capital’s subway known as the deathly subway line? She successfully made her way through the crowded subway one after another without any delay during these peak hours.

Suddenly, her phone rang. She took out her phone with great effort. Her mind went blank when she saw it was Gu Linzheng calling her.

Tang Chi had no idea why Gu Linzheng would suddenly be calling her out of nowhere. In the original Tang Chi’s memory, nothing like this has happened before besides the time when Gu Linzheng asked to meet her for the first time.

Her first thought was to call Gu Linzheng’s full name when she answered the phone. However, she immediately remembered that they were already married, wouldn’t it be too strange to call him by his full name?

Alas, her mouth reacted faster than her mind. When she called out his surname, she hesitantly continued with his first name.

“Yes, it’s me.”

His light voice was cool, crisp, and clear with an attractive quality.

Such a person was used to giving orders, he was a born nobility that declared that he reigned alone.

There were three more stops to go before reaching college. Tang Chi was squeezed to the edge, it was crowded by a group of college students and several working-class people.

There were a lot of attractive girls in college city, due to peak hours, even more were returning to the college right now. Although, not many attractive girls would take the crowded subway line, this was especially true for those who looked extremely soft and harmless like Tang Chi.

Tang Chi felt a little sick with the unpleasant smells coming from the people surrounding her. Ever since she officially won the championship, she had forgotten about just how long she didn’t take the crowded subway. There were boys around deliberately squeezing into her. She looked like an easy target to be bullied especially with her soft and innocent looks.

Gu Linzheng’s natural voice seemed to dispel some of the darkness in her current environment. However, it wasn’t enough to stop Tang Chi from shooting a sharp gaze toward the man next to her. Maybe perhaps she looked fierce enough since the man squeezed into another direction instead.

Then, Tang Chi answered softly to the phone, “Oh, is there something I can do for you?”

Ah… such gentleness!

She sounded like a sweet and innocent girl who was a pushover.

The man who squeezed into another direction quickly came back and pushed over to Tang Chi again.

He looked particularly refined with glasses, like an ordinary honest looking man. It was unexpected that such a person who looked like this was actually concealing such evil thoughts in his heart.

“Gu Linye said you had an argument with him.”

The passenger carriage wobbled. At that moment, the man in the glasses took the opportunity to squeeze in tighter towards Tang Chi, he leaned directly on her. His face was so close that it was only a few millimeters away from hers. Tang Chi could even smell a weird stench coming from his mouth.

His hand suddenly caught Tang Chi’s waist. At that point, all of Tang Chi’s hairs immediately stood up and she had goosebumps. She shuddered in disgust and didn’t really hear what Gu Linzheng said earlier.

Although the man in glasses quickly moved back on purpose, he was still shameless as he said, “Sorry, sorry…”

Tang Chi immediately calmed herself down. “Gu Linzheng, can you hold on for a moment? I have something urgent to do here…”

Without waiting for Gu Linzheng’s response, Tang Chi hung up the phone.

Then, under the gaze of the man in glasses who was smiling, she yelled out, “You asshole, if you dare to come near me again, believe it or not, I will break both your legs including that thing in the middle!”
