One day, Liu Jiedong left home early, which surprised Ling Xue. Usually, at this time, he would share a tender moment with her, but today he seemed completely uninterested.
In the following days, Liu Jiedong grew somewhat distant towards Ling Xue. However, he began to take her out to meet clients, who all brought their female companions along.
During one meeting, the clients were engaged in lively conversation while their partners chatted among themselves. One of the companions proudly displayed her large diamond ring and said, "Look at this diamond! He had it custom-made from abroad."
Another companion, not wanting to be outdone, puffed up her ample chest and replied, "Hmph! What’s so great about a diamond ring? He loves my figure the most."
Ling Xue listened quietly, feeling increasingly uncomfortable. She sat there silently, unsure of what to say. At that moment, one of the companions noticed her and asked, "Are you Liu Zong's girlfriend?"
Ling Xue awkwardly smiled but did not respond. Another companion chimed in, "We all admit to being mistresses or lovers; it’s just a matter of mutual benefit. What about you? What’s your relationship with Liu Zong?"
Ling Xue frowned and said, "I’m not in that kind of relationship with him." The companions burst into laughter. "Come on! Why pretend with us?"
Ling Xue felt even more distressed as she looked at Liu Jiedong, hoping he would speak up for her. But Liu Jiedong seemed oblivious to their conversation and continued chatting with the clients.
That evening when they returned home, Ling Xue couldn’t hold back any longer and asked Liu Jiedong, "Why didn’t you say anything? Don’t you care about what they said?" Liu Jiedong glanced at her coldly and replied, "What’s there to say? What they said is the truth."
Ling Xue's eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean? Do you see me as your mistress too?"
After a moment of silence, Liu Jiedong responded, "Well? What do you think you are?" Tears streamed down Ling Xue's face as she cried out, "How can you treat me like this?"
Liu Jiedong dismissively replied, "Don’t take yourself too seriously. In this circle, everyone is just playing a part." Ling Xue felt as if her heart had turned to ash. She didn’t know what to do; this relationship seemed to have reached its end. If she failed her mission, she would truly die. But she had given everything to this man—if he really didn’t want her anymore, she had no idea how she would cope.
Upon hearing about Ling Xue's situation, Ling Na hurried over. Seeing Ling Xue's face filled with sadness and despair, she embraced her tightly.
"Don’t be upset," she said gently. "There are plenty of men out there. If Liu Jiedong doesn’t cherish you, that’s his loss."
Ling Xue sobbed and replied, "But I have a system; if I don’t complete my mission, I’ll die. I’m in a desperate situation right now and don’t know what to do."
Ling Na’s eyes widened in surprise. "A system? What kind of system? That sounds bizarre!"
Ling Xue continued, "I also have the ability to control men; it’s been quite troubling for me. Right now I have a mission that requires me to marry him first; otherwise I’ll die."
Ling Na paused for a moment as memories of Jun Yue flooded back to her mind before resolutely saying, "You saved me before; we’re friends now. No matter what happens, I will help you."
Tears welled up in Ling Xue's eyes as she felt touched by Ling Na's words. "Really? You don’t think I’m strange?"
Ling Na shook her head. "Everyone has their own secrets and struggles; I understand you. Right now, the most important thing is to find a way to complete your mission while protecting yourself."
