"Lu Man, you have to think this through." "If I had sent this video to Zhu Weichen, what would he have thought? If you can marry into the Zhu Family, aren't you relying on the child in your belly? You said that after seeing the video, would Zhu Wechen still think that the child was his seed? "

Yang Jie's words instantly made me feel as if I had fallen into an icehouse. My hands and feet became thoroughly cold, and all the blood in my body seemed to have frozen over.

In that video, my clothes were torn to shreds and I was surrounded by five men. Their obscene laughter was in stark contrast to my desperate cries …

As I thought back to that night, I couldn't help but shiver in fear and panic. My throat felt dry, and even my breathing seemed to have stopped. My heart was throbbing painfully.

My hand tightened around the phone, and my heart began to beat faster and faster. The hatred in my body reached a crescendo.

"How is it? Have you thought it through?" Yang Jie was still talking, "I will give you the last two days. Do you want to give me 10 million, or let Zhu Feichen receive the video? Choose for yourself."

'BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! '

He hung up.

The phone slipped from my hand, and I felt as if all the strength in my body had been sucked out of me.

Ten million... Where can I get ten million for him...

The instant the room lights came on, I closed my eyes and heard footsteps. My heart tightened and I turned my face away, but my heart followed his footsteps.

'Bam! Bam! Bam! '

I took a deep breath, just barely adjusting to the light, and looked up at him.

"The company's matters have been settled?" I tried to sound calm and natural.

But from the frown on his face, he could tell that something was wrong with me.

"What's wrong? Who were you talking to just now? " He glanced at the phone, then back at me.

My heart thumped. Did he hear something?

The hand that was placed on top of the blanket slowly clenched. My gaze drifted away as I didn't dare to look into his eyes. My heart thumped as if it was about to jump out of my throat.

I held my breath for a few seconds as shadows fell over my head. Then I let out a cautious sigh.

"No, nothing."

A gaze that was as solid as matter locked onto me. My scalp tingled with numbness, and the aura from Zhu Feichen's body seemed to have become much heavier, even causing the surrounding air to become stifling.

"Lumen." He called to me, his voice low.

"Yes." I answered, a little nervous.

"Raise your head." There was an order in his voice.

My heart was alarmed and my grip tightened. It seemed that only by grasping something in my hand would I be able to feel at ease.

I didn't move for a long time, but suddenly he reached out and grabbed my chin, his fingers tightening. My jaw hurt and I was forced to raise my head and look at him.

His eyes were cold and thin, his facial features deep and sharp.

My pupils contracted. I didn't dare meet his gaze and wanted to turn my face away, but he clenched his fist tighter.

"Lumen." His thin lips slightly parted, his gaze narrowing dangerously. "We are husband and wife."

With a light sentence, it felt like a thousand pounds had been smashed into my heart. The layers of the fortress that I had taken great effort to solidify cracked open a crack and strands of warmth seeped in, causing my eyes to ache.

I couldn't even take out the 10 million that Yang Jie asked for, but if I didn't give it to him, he would definitely expose that video.

"I wish you all the best." I looked at him, tears slowly welled up in my eyes, and suddenly hugged his waist, sobbing softly.

Zhu Feichen's worried voice sounded from above, "What's wrong? What are you crying for? "

I shook my head. I didn't say anything, but all sorts of thoughts and ideas flashed through my head.

I'm not sure if he'll believe me, if he doesn't... If I tell him about it, it'll make him suspicious.

Should he take a gamble? Bet he'll believe me.

Although this possibility was very small, if I didn't gamble on it, how would I know what position I would have in his heart?

"..." "I wish you all the best." After a long moment, I finally managed to speak, my voice choked with sobs.

"En, I'm here."

The simple two words almost made me cry.

So it turned out that Zhu Feichen had become gentle. Was it like this?

"Would you believe me?" I asked, burying my head in his chest.

"What happened? "Tell me."

"Answer me first, will you believe me?"

He raised his hand and caressed my head before sighing, "Mm, I trust you."

"Really?" I asked uncertainly.

He answered patiently, "Yes."

"Do you remember the last time I left you early? It wasn't me who left, it was your mom and Li Weiwei who chased me away. " "I stole that recording. I didn't fake it, and I didn't try to trick you with the recording."

I continued, "But Li Weiwei found out while I was recording. She and the man beside her kidnapped me, and she even wants those big guys to …"

He tightened his grip on my shoulder.

I hissed from the pain, and paused for a while before continuing, "If Song Wangjiang hadn't arrived in time, I could have been tortured to death! Li Weiwei also recorded a video. She threatened me with the video and told me to delete the recording. I did not agree. I've been scared ever since, but she didn't come looking for me. "

"She threatened to leave me?" Zhu Feichen spoke in a low voice, his tone filled with coldness.

This was something that Li Weiwei could do, but this time, it wasn't her.

"It's Yang Jie." I sniffed and said, "Maybe Li Weiwei gave him the video. Last time he threatened me with video and told me to give him 5 million, that's why I went to work at the exhibition. This time, after he knew that you and I were married, he actually asked for 10 million!" I... "I …"

I bit my lip, my voice pained and flustered, my hand gripping the hem of his shirt as if he were my only lifeline.

"Yang Jie?" His voice grew colder.

"Un, I really have no other way. I …" "I don't have money. I didn't want to tell you before, but I don't know who else I can find besides you …"

I spoke incoherently, the tears wetting his clothes and making him faint.

"You should have told me." He grabbed my arm. "I'm your husband, Lumen, your man. You can tell me anything."

Relying on it?

I stopped the tears, and a look of calculation appeared in my eyes. That's what I wanted to hear from you.

Although I am telling the truth, I did not expect that Zhu Feichen would believe me so easily. Furthermore, he seemed to stand firmly by my side. It seems like acting pitiful is still quite effective. Back then, didn't Li Weiwei use this trick to snatch Yang Jie away from me?
