Yi Anguo didn't inform Liu Yifei about his arrival in the capital. After reviewing the data from the grand opening of the Silence Square's first branch in the capital, he had some drinks with some executives from Silence Square to celebrate, encouraging everyone to work hard as the company wouldn't treat those who contribute to it poorly.

Afterwards, he left Silence Square and had his personal bodyguard drive him to the Dongcheng District within the Second Ring Road, to the siheyuan he had gifted Liu Yifei.

Upon entering the siheyuan, the security guards arranged for the residence by Yi Anguo, naturally did not stop him from coming in when they saw him.

At this time, Liu Yifei was already asleep. Yi Anguo glanced at her sleeping on her side facing inward and, without disturbing her, took off his clothes and went for a hot shower.

Although it was already the end of the year and the temperature was very low in the capital, with the biting cold wind outside, the inside of the house was warm like spring and very comfortable.

After his shower, Yi Anguo didn't turn on the bedroom's main lights. He dried himself off, climbed into bed, and hugged the person from behind, catching a faint whiff of alcohol.

"Oh! Drinking secretly at home alone." Yi Anguo whispered softly.

As Yi Anguo groped his way further in, he immediately felt something was odd. However, he'd had quite a bit to drink with the people at Silence Square that night. Tipsy as he was, despite sensing something off, he didn't stop.

But the other person suddenly struggled violently, crying out in pain.

Yi Anguo sobered up a bit instantly and hurriedly turned on the light, only to be utterly dumbfounded: the woman on the bed wasn't Liu Yifei but her close friend Su Chang.

Su Chang, forcibly intruded upon by Yi Anguo, lost the chastity she'd preserved for over twenty years. After seeing that it was Yi Anguo, she felt overwhelmed with what to do and couldn't help but cry, covering her face with her hands.

"Why are you sleeping on this bed? Where is Liu Yifei? Where did she go?" Yi Anguo asked in surprise.

"Yi Fei's father called her away. She said she'd be back soon." Su Chang said, hiding under the covers.

Just then, Liu Yifei drove back to the siheyuan, intending to dash to the room and sleep, knowing that only enough sleep could keep her youthful, maintain her delicate skin, and prevent rapid aging.

But upon entering the room, she saw Yi Anguo was there too, bare-chested, while Su Chang was wrapped tightly in the quilt.

Liu Yifei knew that, like her, Su Chang usually had the habit of sleeping nude. The three of them stared wide-eyed at each other—what had just happened? Liu Yifei was shocked in her heart; she seemed to have already guessed it.

"What happened just now between you two?" Although Liu Yifei had already guessed something in her heart, she couldn't help but ask.

Hearing Liu Yifei's question, Su Chang felt even more guilty towards her and started sobbing again, wanting to explain to Liu Yifei but not knowing where to start.

Yi Anguo also felt quite awkward, but he knew he couldn't just say nothing like Su Chang.

As a man, since he had already made a mistake, he had to be brave enough to take responsibility,

besides, he couldn't possibly push the blame onto Su Chang for something like this.

Su Chang had already suffered an undeserved catastrophe, losing the chastity she'd kept for over twenty years as a girl—there was no way to make up for this.

If he pushed the blame on her, would he still be a man?

"Yi Fei! It's all my fault, I thought it was you lying on the bed. I originally wanted to give you a surprise." Yi Anguo explained.

"But how could I have known it wasn't you on the bed, but Su Chang instead?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame me. This has nothing to do with Su Chang, she is the victim."

"You! How could you do this? You didn't even look clearly and just violated Su Chang; how am I supposed to explain this to Su Chang? How are you going to explain this to Su Chang?" Liu Yifei said angrily.

"Su Chang! I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Blame me if you must."

"Yi Fei! What are you saying? Don't you blame me?" Su Chang said in surprise.

"I did something disgraceful to you, don't you blame me for being shameless?"

"How could I blame you? You were innocently robbed of your chastity by Yi Anguo; you are the victim—how could I blame you?" Liu Yifei quickly said.

"But Yi Anguo didn't do it intentionally. Can you forgive him?"

"Or if you have any requests, just make them; I promise he won't refuse any condition you propose." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As Liu Yifei spoke, she looked towards Yi Anguo.

"Why don't you hurry up and step outside? What are you standing here for?"

"Oh! Sure! I will wait outside then." Yi Anguo quickly said, as he walked briskly out.

For over an hour, Yi Anguo waited! Only then did Liu Yifei come out of the room.

"Yi Fei! I'm sorry! How's Su Chang doing? Has she made any demands?" Yi Anguo asked, grabbing Liu Yifei's hands as she emerged.

"Su Chang is not just any girl. She's been in the entertainment industry for many years and has never been involved in a scandal nor had any boyfriends. Since you've ruined her chastity, naturally, you have to take responsibility. Do you have any objections to that?" Liu Yifei queried.

"I have no objections, as long as she's willing to let me take responsibility." Yi Anguo nodded and said.

"But you also know my situation. I cannot marry her; at most it would be like with you here in the country—a fake marriage, registering only abroad."

"But even if registering abroad is possible, it wouldn't be recognized domestically; otherwise, it would be bigamy."

"Unless we both go and reside abroad and not return to live here."

"But you also know, that's impossible. I cannot abandon my career here and run abroad living irresponsibly."

"You know your situation, so why did you still harm Su Chang?" Liu Yifei said irritably.

"How could I have known she'd be sleeping in your bed?" Yi Anguo said helplessly.

"Forget it! I can't be bothered to argue with you. Fortunately, Su Chang is easy-going. She has agreed not to hold you accountable, but she's a very traditional girl. Since she's already lost her chastity to you, she can only be your woman in this life." Liu Yifei said helplessly.

"I hope from now on, you'll treat her well and not let her down. Otherwise, I won't forgive you."
