Ji Yao was completely unguarded, nodded slightly, and lay down on the bed with assistance.
Once her head touched the pillow, she fell asleep, darkness under her eyes betraying her fatigue. It was clear she was exhausted.
Liu Yue slowed his breathing and called out to her softly a few more times.
"Ji Yao, Ji Yao…"
There was no response. The woman on the bed breathed steadily and peacefully, obviously having entered deep sleep.
Now, Liu Yue could finally drop the pretense and reveal his true colors.
"Huh, Ji Yao, why are you so lucky?"
He ran his fingers through her hair, his eyes filled with malicious envy.
"Successful in your career, good-looking, with so many men pursuing you, Ji Yao, do you feel proud seeing me, who is less than you? Are you secretly mocking me for not being your equal? Too bad, you are just too naive and simple. I will definitely find a way to take everything from you. You all look down on me, and I will make you pay!"
