"I can't see clearly, just throw it over."
"Okay!" I tossed the fake House Deed three meters away from her, and it conveniently landed together.
Yao Hui had no choice but to lean out the window to pick up the House Deed.
Suddenly, the firefighters beside me sprang into action...
In a flash, Yao Hui was pulled away from the windowsill by them. One of the firefighters quickly shut the window and stood guard by it.
"Let go, let go, I won't jump anymore..."
You won't jump? Then it's my turn to jump.
Having obtained the House Deed, Yao Hui cherished it like a treasure, cradling the paper in her arms and examining it repeatedly before finally locking it in her safe.
But when I asked her to delete that video of Yu Jiamin, she stubbornly refused to do so.
From that moment on, Yao Hui's attitude towards me took a complete turn.
The obedient and understanding little wife I once knew was gone...
Now she was domineering, unreasonable, and often used videos to blackmail me, never taking my words to heart.
I had lost the right to have a fair conversation with her and had also lost my desires.
All my desires...
A few days later, at Yu Jiamin's birthday party, I got completely drunk.
My colleagues noticed that I was troubled and left the hotel one by one.
Only she and I remained in the room.
"You're an adult now, yet you act like a child. Everyone has to cater to your emotions; is it your birthday or mine?"
She nagged, but her eyes were filled with concern.
When I first met Yao Hui, she was just like this.
"Yeah, I guess I've been spoiled by you..." I tilted my head back and took a swig of alcohol.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I can't go back. I can never go back to Yao Hui."
"Why? What happened between you two?"
"Isn't it all your fault? On the wedding night, you got into my bed, and she found out..."
"So what if she knows? I should have slept with you before she even met you!" Jia Min seemed to be quite drunk as well.
"Do you really think that way?" I looked up, the alcohol clouding my mind, making everything around me blur.
"Yeah..."
Is it just my imagination? The strong woman I had always supported, why was she acting so shy at this moment?
I suddenly wrapped my arms around Jia Min's neck and pulled her closer.
"Smack!" I shot a cold glance at the phone outside the window that was facing us, then turned back and switched off the lights in the room.
These days, I had constantly felt like I was being watched. Whenever I turned around, I would see a stranger, Xiao Pang, mingling in the crowd.
My instincts told me that must be the "Xiao Pang" mentioned by the receptionist at Yao Hui's company.
I knew Judgment Day was approaching, as my new house would be finished renovating in a few days, and soon Yao Hui and I would "happily" move in together, living the sweet "world of two" she often talked about.
Yes, sweet—if only she hadn't been so cold and commanding towards me these days. I almost forgot there was once a "sweet" promise laid out before me.
I suddenly grasped her hand tightly: "Jia Min, not now..."
She halted her movements, opened her eyes, and pushed me away without any sign of anger.
"Who told you to call me Jia Min? Call me Manager Yu, you little Xiaohui, taking advantage and still acting innocent!"
After saying that, she tidied her hair and stood up to leave.
"Tomorrow, you will work overtime in my office alone. You're not allowed to go anywhere else!"
Her voice echoed down the corridor, each word crystal clear as it reached my ears.
Fine, I’ll do it! It’s not like I haven’t worked overtime before.
It was time to get down to business, so I dialed Ma Mingyuan's number.
"I knew you would call me," Mingyuan said, sounding smug as if he had foreseen it all.
"I know you know that I had to call you," I replied.
