When she returned home tonight, she thought he would have a showdown with her.
After all, in this high - society arranged marriage, it was really unreasonable for him to keep a mistress outside.
But somehow, after he came back, he was just the same as usual.
Recalling what she had heard during the day, Meng Ruozhao's eyes looked a bit unfocused.
Pei Jiangmu noticed that she was in a daze, so his movements became a bit rougher.
She instinctively shrank back. A sharp pain in her waist brought her back to her senses a bit, and she stiffened up, not daring to move.
This man had been outstanding and full of charm since childhood.
As he grew up, anyone who saw him would say that he was steady, noble, and exuded an air of cold abstinence.
But only Meng Ruozhao knew that all these were Pei Jiangmu's disguises.
Under the mask, he was like a cold, cruel, wild and crazy black panther that never let go of its prey.
He was not only lustful but also indulged in his desires.
Perhaps sensing her gaze, the man suddenly looked over.
Deep and clear light rippled in his eyes. One didn't need to look into them for long to feel a shiver down one's back.
Meng Ruozhao suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her.
There was a wetness under her eyes, making her look extremely innocent.
"Brother Jiangmu..."
Hearing her call him so softly, Pei Jiangmu looked into her dark, glistening pupils, and his eyes darkened slightly.
Seeing her blushing cheeks and the glistening light in her eyes, the anger in his heart finally subsided a bit.
He let out a low laugh from his throat and lowered his head to kiss her.
Meng Ruozhao's breath caught for a moment, and her long black eyelashes trembled even more violently.
But she desperately reminded herself not to show any resistance, lest he notice something.
After all, after returning from the branch company today, she received a call from Pei's mother.
On the other end of the phone, Pei's mother didn't clarify her relationship with Pei Jiangmu.
She just asked why she didn't return to Haicheng now that she had graduated.
She understood that this was both a hint and a warning.
This made her feel ashamed and guilty.
But at the same time, it was also an opportunity - since Pei's mother asked her to return to the country, she would surely be able to help her get rid of Pei Jiangmu's control.
As long as she could go back first!
So after hanging up the phone, she sneaked into Pei Jiangmu's study.
She retrieved all the documents that he had taken from her under the pretext of "safekeeping".
Then, she found an intermediary and bought a plane ticket at a high price.
Tomorrow, when Pei Jiangmu went on a business trip, she could fly away and end all of this.
Maybe God finally showed mercy to her once. Everything was going as Meng Ruozhao had expected.
When she woke up the next day, Pei Jiangmu was already standing beside the bed, looking fresh and tidy.
He was holding a black tie in his hand. When he saw her wake up, he motioned for her to tie it for him.
To accommodate her, he even bent down and stared at her intently.
Meng Ruozhao didn't hesitate. She got up, knelt on the bed, and started to tie the tie for him.
After last night, he had helped her take a bath and put a loose nightgown on her himself.
At this moment, as she raised her hand, the strap of the nightgown slipped down her smooth skin.
Unlike the dimness of last night, the soft white light filled the whole room.
Her body was as fair and delicate as jade, looking crystal - clear in the morning light.
But this bastard had been in a bad mood last night and had been rough with her. There were a few purple and blue marks on her body.
Especially on her collarbone, there was a slightly red tooth mark.
Looking at this "masterpiece" of his own, the last bit of annoyance in Pei Jiangmu's heart disappeared completely.
He held her waist and rubbed it ambiguously, then gave her a faint smile.
Meng Ruozhao was stunned for a moment, then snorted in her heart.
This bastard always had such a good temper after he was satisfied.
Especially when he calmly closed his eyes, his every expression exuded nobility and elegance.
Even when she didn't look directly into his eyes, she could even have the illusion that he was quite gentle.
However, an illusion was just an illusion.
Before she could come to her senses, the man pinched her waist. "What are you standing there for?"
She pulled herself together, straightened her back, and took the tie.
The next second, she was stunned again and asked tentatively, "Why did you take this out?"
This tie was the first gift she had given him after she came of age.
It was not only quite expensive, but also had an "M" embroidered by her with her own hands when she was deeply in love with him.
Although it couldn't be seen from the outside, he rarely wore it.
She always thought he didn't like it, but unexpectedly, he had brought it from Haicheng to France.
Pei Jiangmu didn't open his eyes and was silent for a long time.
It was so long that she thought he wouldn't answer. Just as she was about to tie the tie, he suddenly said coldly.
"Because today is a memorable day."
Meng Ruozhao was stunned. She stared at his handsome and cold face and quickly thought through today's date in her mind.
It wasn't any anniversary she knew.
Then it must be an anniversary with someone else.
She pursed her lips and didn't ask further. She just flipped up the collar of his shirt and started to tie the tie.
They were very close. She could even see his long, distinct eyelashes.
They had used the same shower gel last night, but now there was only a faint, cold fragrance on him.
Just as cold as he was.
After tying the tie, Pei Jiangmu looked down at it. He seemed quite satisfied and kissed her.
"You can sleep a bit more. I'm leaving."
His business trip had been planned before.
Meng Ruozhao responded and didn't get up to see him off. Instead, she watched his back as he left and then flopped back into the quilt.
The sheets, the quilt on the bed, and the nightgown on her were all in a mess.
Just like her life in the past three years.
In contrast, this man had already put on a black high - end suit. He had broad shoulders and a slender waist, and his back was as straight as a green bamboo breaking through the snow.
He was calm, elegant, and composed.
She felt a kind of indescribable anger. How could he mess up her life like this and yet act as if nothing had happened?
After the anger came powerlessness.
What could a person like her do before he decided to show mercy?
Before a self - deprecating smile could spread on her face, the man who had walked to the door turned back.
He stretched out his long arm, fished her out of the quilt, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her passionately.
After the kiss, still not satisfied, he bit her on the chin.
Then, under her gaze, he threatened in a low voice, "Wait for me to come back. Don't run away."
Meng Ruozhao forced a smile. Her voice was a bit hoarse. "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back..."
Yeah, right!
As soon as the car that came to pick up Pei Jiangmu left, she immediately got up.
She didn't even put on makeup. She took out a small bag from the depths of the wardrobe.
It contained all her documents and the plane ticket she had bought at a high price.
She didn't take anything else.
She didn't dare to delay. She tried to look normal as she went downstairs.
The nanny asked her if she wanted to have breakfast. She made an excuse that she had something to do at school and then rushed out of the house.
After the driver took her to school, she waited patiently for half an hour before sneaking out of the school.
Before leaving the school, she threw away the old phone with a positioning system and replaced it with a new phone and a new phone card.
She had been extremely cautious.
Even when she walked into the waiting hall, she didn't dare to relax.
