He hung up vaguely. The following calls were all from people in the office. In the end, he became numb.

The people who could walk and meet each other normally ignored her. Now, they were intimately eating in the same bowl, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. As the sky darkened, her world also darkened.

For some reason, the floating and sinking Jing Xiaoxiao fell asleep. The phone vibrated due to her pressing it. The constantly flashing screen showed that the phone was still ringing.

Xuan Peng went to the hospital and missed something. Han Yong also missed. The two men politely introduced themselves before turning around to leave. However, after taking a few steps away, they both took out their phones and made the same call.

The line was busy. Silently, Xiao Yan's phone was always busy. Xuan Peng called Wang Yiling to ask if he had returned to the company. Mo Xiaoxiao had always been a workaholic, and Xuan Peng was worried that she would lose his health because of his work.

"Nope." Wang Yiling rolled her eyes at the darkening sky and said, "I'll go with you."

"No need, I'll go to her place to take a look. Maybe she went back to rest." Xuan Peng subconsciously refused. He used his hand to open the door, bid farewell to Wang Yiling, and hung up the phone.

She did not give up. The corner of her lips curled up in a mocking smile. If her guess was not wrong, Mo Xiaoxiao must have gone to find Xiao Menghan. How could she let go of the person she was trying to curry favor with?

After cleaning herself up, Wang Yiling left the company and took a taxi to Mo Xiaonu's house. She sat in the car and blew continuously at the driver to get him to hurry up. Her heart ached. She had spent a whole day's wages on this trip.

Just as Wang Yiling had guessed, she had just arrived at the alley where Mo Xiaoxiao was renting the house. Xuan Peng's car had arrived as well. Seeing Wang Yiling, Xuan Peng was momentarily stunned.

Wang Yiling smiled gently at him and said, "I was worried that Xiao Ran would come and take a look. She was not well and I was her only friend."

"You're being considerate." Xuan Peng politely smiled before he took the lead to walk into the room that Jing Xiaoxiao rented. There was no light inside, so it was hard to tell if there was anyone inside through the darkness.

"Knock on the door?"

"No need, I have the key." As Xuan Peng spoke, he took out the key. The clanging sounds made Wang Yiling exceptionally ear-piercing.

Wang Yiling tried her best to maintain a smile, but her heart was coldly snorting at Mo Xiaoxiao. So it turned out that she had already rolled out with Xuan Peng. Now, even if she secretly worked with Xiao Menghan and Chen Cang Xuan Peng, they would not be able to confirm that she had cheated.

Wang Yiling looked at the door that had been pushed open. The room was quiet, but she could still see a small section of foot exposed by the moonlight. While she was thinking, she pulled Xuan Peng, who was fumbling with his hand to turn on the light.

"She probably went back to the hospital. It's already getting dark, so there's no light here. She definitely hasn't come back yet."

Xuan Peng slowly clenched his fists. He was silent, and his deep, pained eyes locked tightly onto the building outside the door.

Xiao Menghan, the president of the Xiao family, was a person at the top of the diamond field in the city. He had a prominent family and great influence. He took a deep breath, and Xuan Peng felt a sharp pain in his chest.

The door to the room was closed from before, and the car started to leave. After a while, the alley returned to its original state.

On the bed, Jing Xiaoxiao's brows were tightly locked together, her forehead was covered in cold sweat, her teeth were clenched, and she was sleeping soundly. Countless men were tearing at her body, the pain tightly tightening her body.

His slender fingers gripped the quilt underneath him as he opened his eyes. His body bounced up from the bed and he breathed heavily. The room was dark except for the dim moonlight from the window.

Outside the house, the sound of a car moving away could be heard. Jing Xiaoxiao struggled to get off the bed to open the door. She seemed to have sensed someone coming, but she couldn't shake off the feeling of waking up.

Outside the door, there was only the cold air and the white moonlight. In the distance, there were tall buildings. Was this another dream?

Silent Xiao Ran shrunk his body to the ground and hugged his knees tightly as tears silently rolled down his face. In his heart, a name slowly appeared: Xuan Peng.

Xuan Peng was in a trance as he drove the car. He reached for his phone.

Wang Yiling, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately said, "Should we call Xiao Yan? I'll call him. You drive."

Xuan Peng hesitated for a moment. He was worried that if Mo Xiaoxiao was really with Xiao Menghan at this time? He was about to open his mouth to say that he was going to call, but he saw Wang Yiling make a call from the rearview mirror.

"Hello, the phone you dialed is currently in the process of being called. Hello, the phone you dialed is in the process of being called."

A mechanical sound rang out from the narrow carriage again and again, like a heavy hammer pounding on Xuan Peng's chest. His fingers tightly gripped the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white. He had already imagined what would happen after he went to the hospital.

Xuan Peng's hands were trembling. A car was speeding over from the opposite direction. The blinding light immediately struck Xuan Peng's eyes. He shuddered and didn't have the time to turn the steering wheel.

With a loud crash, the lights scattered in all directions and the two cars crashed into each other. In that moment, Wang Yiling bounced off the back of the car and hit the front windshield.

"Wang Yiling." Xuan Peng felt something warm flowing from his forehead, blurring his vision. Then, darkness.

That night, Mo Xiaoxiao called Xuan Peng countless times, but no one answered. She was afraid that she would be alone at home, but she didn't know where she was going.

His phone was turned off when he called Wang Yiling. Holding his phone, Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that the world was too quiet, too quiet.

She stood up, opened the door and walked out in big strides. She didn't have a destination, so she walked on the side of the road with a blank look on her face.

A few ambulance roared past Mo Xiaoxiao. Her heart trembled as she chased after the flashing red light. She didn't know why, but her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

In the ambulance, Xuan Peng was unconscious, but Wang Yiling was conscious. She was in so much pain that her left leg was trembling uncontrollably. She turned her head to look at the phone in Xuan Peng's hand and slowly reached out his hand.

"Your husband's phone has been ringing the entire time."

"Thank you." Wang Yiling gasped for breath, but she had already used all the strength in her body just to say two words. Her blood-stained fingers slowly pressed the button on her phone, and soon enough, there were more than N missed calls. She signed the number 'Wife', which Wang Yiling was no longer familiar with.

Jing Xiaoxiao, don't blame me for being ruthless. Since you chose to climb up the ranks, you are no longer worthy to be by Xuan Peng's side.

Tears fell from the corners of Wang Yiling's eyes as she reached out a trembling hand to Xuan Peng, clenching his cold big hand tightly. She was crying even harder, but she did not know what she was crying for.
