Ye Junli didn't stay here for long. After the two of us ate dinner, he left. He was different from the other men. His mind was not entirely filled with the girl's affairs, or else I would have to pay with my own flesh after receiving so much attention from him today.

I watched him leave, and then I was alone in the small house. I was suddenly filled with fear at this feeling of emptiness.

Over the next few days, Ye Junli didn't come to find me. He would occasionally send a text message to ask about my situation, but I didn't reply to him every single time. After all, it seemed as if our relationship was quite awkward.

"Yao Ji! Where are you? Can you come and save me? " The moment I picked up the phone, Xia Lan's tearful voice came out.

My heart tightened as I looked at the time. Could it be that Xia Lan had suffered some sort of insult when the formal Demon Region was opened at night, so she came to call me for help?

"Don't worry! What's the matter with you? What do you need my help for? "

Although Xia Lan had told me those words before when I left the Spirit Demon Realm, I will never forget the day Hei Baozi took the risk to help me out when she wanted to bully me. Although she is a person who loves vanity, in the end, she only wants to live a better life.

"Yao Ji, I'm not in the Demon Region, just now a guest came and forcefully took me away. You know, the Demon Region never meddle in this sort of trivial matter, and now that he's not around, I can only call you for help. He might be a little weird, but if you don't come and save me, then I'll be done for tonight!" Xia Lan said all of these in one breath.

Hearing her urgent tone, I also felt a bit worried. Without any hesitation, I took down the address and rushed over to save her.

Along the way, I had been planning on how to get rid of that man. After all, it would be difficult for the two of us women, especially when Xia Lan was still working in the Demon Region.

In an instant, I thought of Ye Junli. If he could help us with his status, then no matter what background that customer has, he would have to obediently listen to us. I don't want to owe him any more favors.

But I didn't expect that when the door to the room was opened, not only were there no drunken men, even Xia Lan wasn't in the room.

I looked at Yan Yue who was sitting upright in his room, and seemed to understand something. It's my fault for being so loyal, I believed all of what Xia Lan had said.

If something were to happen to me today, I wouldn't blame anyone but myself. After all, I was too naive.

"Miss Yan, we meet again." I greeted her calmly.

Yan Yue stood up from her chair and stared at me, her face full of jealousy.

I don't remember who said that jealousy would make people ugly, but looking at the Yan Yue in front of me, I finally believed those words.

"Miss Yan, if you want to find me, you can do it in broad daylight. Why do you have to resort to such despicable means?" I smiled at her.

Yan Yue's expression was warped, I originally thought that she would be able to take the initiative to cancel the engagement with Ye Junli, then give up immediately because she knew that it wasn't me, but I never thought that she would only play a trick to capture me, and became an important chess piece in her game just because she pitied me.

"You're not worthy of me using any clever methods!" Yan Yue said in a stern voice.

I smiled down, not wanting to argue with her about it.

"Miss Yan, since it's like this, hurry up and say it. Although I'm currently a jobless nomad, I don't want to waste my time on such useless things." I looked at him coldly.

"Such a sharp woman like you actually acted like a little girl in front of Ye Junli. You sure are scheming!" Yan Yue clenched her teeth and said.

I thought for a bit, she probably mentioned the day we met, but that was right, that day just so happened to be the day Ye Junli asked me to act with him, and her acting as a little girl was just to accompany Ye Junli. I didn't expect Yan Yue to see her like that, and it was a completely different situation.

I had nothing to say, so I kept my mouth shut. However, it was clear that my nonviolent and uncooperative attitude angered Yan Yue. Her expression became even uglier, but she suddenly sneered, looked at me coldly and said: "Miss Zhou, you will sooner or later pay the price for your actions!"

I was stunned. I didn't know what she meant.

"Come in!" Yan Yue suddenly shouted loudly.

Then there was the sound of the door opening. I looked towards the door and saw several bodyguards dressed in black barging in.

I thought it was funny. These rich people really weren't creative at all. The bodyguards they hired were all in black suits and they didn't recognize them at all.

"Today, I just want to teach you a lesson! "Ye Junli is mine. I'll let you know that no one can stop me from marrying him!" Yan Yue suppressed her emotions and said.

"Miss Yan, I'm afraid that your anger is not too rational." I forcefully pretended to be calm, because I was, after all, alone right now. If Yan Yue really wanted someone to do something to me, I might not be able to escape this calamity.

"Your name is Zhou Xiang, right?" Yan Yue ignored me and asked for my name.

I was a little surprised, but I still said, "Looks like Miss Yan has already investigated thoroughly. Why did you still come to ask me?"

The reason why Yan Yue called me here today is definitely not because she wants to talk to me, but because she has other intentions. I am afraid that it won't be easy for me to leave this place, and I don't know how to contact Ye Junli.

In this world, there are people like you who don't know their limits. Don't think that I, Yan Yue, am someone who does not know my place, because of you, Ye Junli ditched his marriage with me. He even told the entire world that I was the one who broke the engagement.

I simply could not hear what Yan Yue said after that, and a question kept echoing in my mind. Did Ye Junli actually bring up the matter of the two of them canceling the engagement?
