Feng Anna’s tearful, hesitant gaze looked so authentic, so convincingly delicate, that anyone watching might have been moved to believe her sorrow was real. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Even Wang Haoran, who knew the truth, found himself almost admiring her skill in deception. Her performance was flawless. Still, inside, he felt nothing but cold amusement. If anything, it made him want to laugh. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

He played along, keeping his expression tender and sincere, and gently responded with the sort of sweet nothings that couples new to love might share. They talked like young lovers lost in infatuation, and Feng Anna didn’t suspect a thing. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

After all, Wang Haoran’s own acting was no less top-tier. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Then, just as the mood warmed and their roles deepened, Feng Anna’s expression shifted subtly. Her eyes lowered, her voice softened, and she murmured, “After today… forget about me.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The words came suddenly, and though Wang Haoran expected a twist, the abruptness of it still made him narrow his eyes. He knew the real conversation was about to begin. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

He leaned in, his voice laced with emotion. “What do you mean? How could I forget you? Don’t tell me… your feelings for me weren’t real?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“Of course not!” she said quickly, her face painted with earnest affection. “The moment I saw you, I fell for you. I wanted to be with you forever. If I didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t have gone so far. I’m not that kind of girl.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“Then why tell me to forget you?” he pressed, feigning confusion. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“Please… don’t ask.” Her eyes shimmered. “Just know that I’m asking you to leave because it’s for your own good.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Wang Haoran’s mind flashed through the possibilities. “Is it because… You have a fiancee?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Her silence answered him before her words did. With a pained expression, she finally nodded. “Yes… but it wasn’t my choice. My elders arranged the engagement. I don’t love him at all.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

And just like that, the last piece clicked into place. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

So that was it. Feng Anna, as Yan Yuntian’s fiancée, clearly knew his background. To her, Wang Haoran was just another brainless rich second gen—perfect to use as a sacrificial pawn. Her plan all along had been to push him into Yan Yuntian’s line of fire. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

She wanted him to charge in like a love-struck fool, crash headfirst into Yan Yuntian’s wrath, and be crushed so she could cry innocence and be released from her engagement. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

This woman… was truly wicked. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

A surge of anger welled up in Wang Haoran’s chest. For a moment, he had the urge to slap her so hard she flew into the wall. But just as quickly, the rage was extinguished by a sharper idea—one that made him suppress his impulse and let a new plan form. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“I see. So you already have a fiancée. I’m sorry to have disturbed you,” he said coldly, dropping the act. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Now that her intentions were clear, he had no reason to keep up the charade. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Feng Anna blinked, stunned by his sudden change in demeanor. She scrambled to salvage the illusion, her voice choked with emotion. “Go, then. But know this—I’ll never forget you. You were my first… and you’ll be my last.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Tears trailed down her cheeks, shining under the morning light, making her look pitiful and heart-wrenchingly sincere. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Wang Haoran didn’t even glance back. He left without a word, letting her finish her little one-woman performance. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

But just beyond the corner, hidden from sight, he stopped and used his X-ray vision to watch what followed. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Sure enough, the moment he was gone, Feng Anna’s sobs vanished as if they’d been switched off. Her expression turned cold and emotionless, her voice sharp. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“What a heartless bastard. Got what he wanted and threw me aside. Hmph… Good thing it was all an act.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Zhong Li entered the room just then, her brow furrowed. “Anna, if he’s not going to pick a fight with Yan Yuntian, doesn’t that mean all this was for nothing?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“He doesn’t have to go to Yan Yuntian. I’ll go to him myself,” Feng Anna replied, her voice calm and calculating, eyes glinting with confidence. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“You’re insane!” Zhong Li gasped. “Do you know how furious he’ll be? That’s suicide!” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“How can you blame me?” Feng Anna’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “I was forced, remember?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

As she spoke, she reached up with her fingernails and deliberately scratched the skin on her neck. Thin lines of blood surfaced, trickling down her pale skin. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Zhong Li stared, horrified. But beneath her shock, even she couldn’t help but admire Feng Anna’s ruthlessness. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Watching from afar, Wang Haoran raised an eyebrow, the corner of his lips curving in dark amusement. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

She wad cunning, no doubt about that. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

But she made one fatal mistake—she underestimated him. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

She thought he was just another soft-headed rich boy? — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Foolish woman. All her schemes would only lead her to trip over her own trap. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

With a smirk tugging at his mouth, Wang Haoran turned and left the hotel, already preparing his next move. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

— — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Elsewhere, in a secluded manor… — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Time, as always, dulled pain. After the emotional devastation he suffered, Yan Yuntian began to recover a little. He still hadn’t stepped foot outside the estate, but at least he started leaving his room. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

At this moment, he was in the garden, trimming flowers with careful precision, tending the greenery like it could soothe the turmoil in his heart. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Yu Ning approached quietly, reporting, “Someone left a package at the front gate.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

She didn’t address Yan Yuntian as “Young Master.” To her, Wang Haoran had already taken that place. The title belonged to him now. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

But Yan Yuntian didn’t notice the slight. Still focused on his task, he asked indifferently, “What’s inside?” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“There’s a note saying it’s for your eyes only. I haven’t opened it.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Frowning slightly, Yan Yuntian put down his trowel and took the package from her hands. He examined it thoroughly—no poison, no hidden weapons. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Inside were two items: a stack of photographs and a brand-new voice recorder. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

As he flipped through the photos, his face darkened with each one. Fury built like a storm behind his eyes. By the time he reached the end, his expression was twisted with rage. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The pictures showed a man and a woman in bed, covered by a sheet but with their faces visible above the fabric. The intimacy was unmistakable, even without seeing more; the implication was clear. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The man’s face was pixelated, but the woman’s was crystal clear. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Yan Yuntian knew that face. Knew it too well. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Feng Anna. His fiancée. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

His fiancée… slept with another man. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Desperately clinging to denial, he hoped—prayed—that the photos were fake. Digitally altered. Some cruel hoax. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Then he pressed play on the recorder. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

A man and woman’s voices filled the air. Honeyed whispers. Soft laughter. Romantic murmurs exchanged without shame. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

With each passing word, his last thread of hope snapped. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The rage inside him erupted uncontrollably. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Yu Ning covered her ears against the raw, animalistic howl echoing through the courtyard. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

It took several minutes for the screaming to finally stop. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

She had seen Feng Anna before. She recognized the face and the voice on the recording. She did not miss a single word. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

A small, mocking smile tugged at her lips as she quietly stepped away. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

From within the garden came the sounds of pots smashing, stones shattering as Yan Yuntian was destroying everything in sight. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Not long after, Yu Ning returned with another report. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“Young Master, there’s a visitor.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“I’m not seeing anyone today,” Yan Yuntian growled without turning. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“It’s… Feng Anna.” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Crack. Crack. Crack. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

His fists clenched so tightly, his knuckles popped. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“Bring. Her. To. Me,” he said through gritted teeth, every syllable like a blade. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

When Yu Ning returned again, Feng Anna was with her. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

She looked like a ghost of her former self—tear-streaked cheeks, pale face, trembling lips. Scratches marred her neck, and she clutched her sleeves like she could barely hold herself together. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“I was… forced,” she whimpered through sobs. “I’m no longer clean… I’m not worthy of you… I don’t deserve to marry into Fengxi Sect… It’s better we call off the engagement…” — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Her voice broke again, each word soaked in sorrow. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

Yan Yuntian didn’t respond. He simply pressed play on the recorder. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The same voice filled the room—Feng Anna’s voice—overflowing with sweetness, laughing, whispering love into another man’s ear. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The warmth in her tone, the joy in her words, left no room for doubt. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

“You call this being forced?” Yan Yuntian said coldly once the recording ended, his eyes burning with fury. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)

The shock hit so hard, she forgot to keep pretending. Her tears stopped, her face stiffened, and she stood there like a puppet with its strings cut. — Read on CrimsonScrolls.net (https://crimsonscrolls.net)
