Chapter 1: A Man's Mouth, a Liar's Ghost

"Trust me! I will be responsible for you, and I will make you the happiest, most honored woman in the world!"

The man's firm promise resonated in her ears, and Tang Nuanning frantically shook her head,

"Don't, don't... Ah..."

The man suddenly exerted himself, and Tang Nuanning screamed in agony, fainting from the pain.

When she awoke again, the person beside her had already left, but the ambiguous atmosphere hadn't dissipated.

Scattered tissue balls and disheveled clothes on the ground bore witness to the madness that had just occurred.

Tang Nuanning bit her lip and clenched the bedsheet, her vision gradually blurring…

She was a married woman; today she had come to the airport to pick up her husband, yet before she could see him, she had lost her innocence!

What was this?

Was it marital infidelity?

How could she face others after this? How could she face her own husband?

If she told him that she came to the airport to pick him up, and that a man had dragged her into a dark rest room amidst the chaos at the airport, and that such a shameful thing had happened...

Would he believe her?

Would he still accept her?

Could their marriage continue?

Tang Nuanning couldn't control herself; tears fell pitter-patter.

She didn't know what she had done wrong in a past life to deserve such a fate.

Without the love of a father or a mother since childhood, life had been a complete mess.

She wanted to change her fate through education and had finally gotten into her dream university, but her adoptive parents forced her to marry.

It was supposed to be her sister, Tang Xin, who was arranged to marry, but because the prospective groom was disabled, they replaced her with Tang Nuanning!

Her adoptive parents couldn't bear to see their own daughter suffer, yet they couldn't refuse the lucrative dowry, so they used years of parental obligation to coerce her into the marriage.

Back then, from processing her withdrawal from school to the engagement and wedding, no one had ever asked for her opinion.

No one had even asked if she was willing.

They made their decisions without her consent, directly destroying her studies and future.

She had cried and felt resentful, but in the end, she capitulated to reality.

They say a woman's marriage is her rebirth, getting away from that indifferent family could also be a good thing. Since she was married, she might as well be a good wife.

These past two years, Bo Yanchen had been abroad treating his leg illness, and she had been alone in their marriage, behaving properly without any extramarital thoughts.

This was the marriage she had exchanged her education and future for, her new life—she cherished it enormously.

But now...

On the very day of Bo Yanchen's return, such a thing happened—what was she supposed to do?

"Ding ding ding..."

Suddenly, her phone rang; it was the housemaid calling,

"Madam, the master has asked you to come home."

Tang Nuanning's heart skipped a beat, feeling guilty and anxious,

"Has he gone back already?"

"Yes, the master came home and upon not finding you, he left immediately. Before leaving, he instructed you to come back and sign some papers—he... he wants a divorce."

Tang Nuanning's mind buzzed explosively, as if it had blown apart.

Bo Yanchen wanted a divorce from her?!

She knew Bo Yanchen was dissatisfied with their marriage. He had been absent on their wedding day and hadn't shown up since.

They had been married for two years without seeing each other, not even knowing what the other looked like.

But in these two years, he hadn't treated her poorly!

She had never been neglected in terms of food, clothing, and living expenses, and when she was sick he would still instruct the servants to take good care of her.

Although they were thousands of miles apart, she could feel his concern.

She had thought that Bo Yanchen merely disliked the family-arranged marriage, not her. As long as she was a good wife, they could care for each other like any other loving couple and spend the rest of their lives together.

Unexpectedly...

"Madam, you needn't be too upset," the housekeeper said excitedly. "The master has given you this villa, two luxury cars, and a lot of money."

But how could Tang Nuanning not be upset?

She was close to dying of sorrow.

Her damned life couldn't get any worse.

But what right did she have now to refuse the divorce?

She had lost her innocence; she was unworthy of him.

Tang Nuanning pinched the bridge of her nose, her voice hoarse, "I understand. I'll go back and sign the papers right away."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Nuanning, struggling to fight off her physical discomfort, dressed herself and stumbled out of the airport.

No sooner had she left than dozens of black luxury cars suddenly appeared outside the airport.

A group of black-suited bodyguards got out of their cars, surrounding the airport completely.

The assistant respectfully opened the car door, and Bo Yanchen stepped out.

Hand-crafted leather shoes, a valuable bespoke suit, and a limited-edition wristwatch... the epitome of a successful man.

He was tall and had sharp features, an aura of dominance and coldness radiating from his bones, chilling to the core!

Everyone looked up at him with curious eyes, sizing him up cautiously.

Bo Yanchen, paying no attention to the others, strode towards the VIP lounge.

Last night, after eating something contaminated and being chased by assassins, he had ruined a girl's innocence in desperation.

Afterward, fearing his enemies would chase him here and endanger the girl, he had left first. Only after eliminating the danger did he return.

It was her first night.

He had said last night that he would definitely take responsibility, promising to make her the happiest and most honored woman in the world!

He, Bo Yanchen, always kept his word.

Before Bo Yanchen reached the lounge, his assistant Zhou Sheng hurried to catch up with his pace,

"Brother Chen, there was a call from home. The madam has already returned, but... Last night, she was apparently with another man; the marks on her body are clear. According to the butler, she has been with quite a few men over the past two years, often not returning home at night...

And when she was drunk, she would speak recklessly, once proclaiming publicly at the bar... that you are disabled and unworthy of her, saying that your marriage to her is just..."

"Just what?!"

"... just like a toad lusting after a swan's flesh."

"Heh!"

Bo Yanchen pressed his thin lips together, his face growing cold.

The wife in question had been forced upon him two years ago by the Bo Family to curb his power; he hadn't met her even once, not even on their wedding day.

Now that the situation had stabilized and he held great power, he wasn't bound by those restraints anymore, so the first thing he did upon his return was to divorce this wife.

It wasn't that he was cold-hearted; it was that there were simply no feelings between them!

The divorce was a good thing for her, a way out.

To compensate for her lost years, he had given her ample compensation: mansions, luxury cars, and a check for a billion yuan.

Unexpectedly, she turned out to be an indecent woman who trampled others while elevating herself!

Since that was the case, then she didn't deserve his compensation.

"The previous divorce agreement is void. Draft a new one! She committed adultery and didn't abide by the expectations of a wife; let her leave without a single item!"

"Yes!"

Bo Yanchen arrived at the door of the lounge, quelled his rage, and tidied up his appearance before pushing open the door of the lounge.

Greeting her with the kindest and most dignified demeanor.

For a lifetime, two hearts that beat as one; he had touched her and now he would accept no one else but her for the rest of his life.

But—

The room was empty, not a soul in sight.

Had she left?

Bo Yanchen searched the entire airport and found no sign of her, his brows knit together,

"Issue a notice. Use whatever means necessary, regardless of the cost, we must find her!"

To find her, to fulfill his promise!

To make her the happiest and most honored woman in the world!
