Chapter 4: Desperate for Women

  "Zhe... when are you coming back? It's so noisy over there..."

  In the bedroom, Yin Yuki covered one ear and talked on the phone with Huo Yize.

  On the other end of the phone, Huo Yize paused for a moment, perhaps still uncertain. "Soon, just these few days." He gave an answer, but unfortunately it was still unclear.

  "I miss you so much." Yin Yuqi didn't hide her longing for him, and the sweet words happened to be overheard by Tong Mai as he passed by her bedroom door.

  Soft and gentle voice, very in line with Yin Yuqi's image.

  Tong Mai rolled her eyes and looked away with a face full of disdain. What was she thinking? It's the middle of the night, what's the point of making phone calls?!

  Yin Yuqi's sweet happiness, how much reflects Tong Mai's poverty and despair. Yin Yuqi is a triple threat of love, career, and family, while she is a triple failure...

  Yin Yuki and Huo Yize got engaged, she happened to be in London at that time. Yin Yuki had a strong request for her to come back and attend her engagement, however, Tong Mai refused.

  Firstly, it's because of the Yin family matter, which has nothing to do with her. Yin Yuqi can get engaged to whoever she wants, and it doesn't concern her. Secondly, although she lives in the Yin household, the high tuition fees in London over the years were also paid by Mr. Yin, but he never publicly acknowledged her as a member of the Yin family. It's clear that he still doesn't want to recognize her! If she appears, it would be especially awkward!

  "I miss you too, dear. Get some rest early! I'll be back soon." Huo Yize's voice was laced with a few more parts of enticement, seemingly sweeter than usual.

  "Uh-huh, you too. Get some rest early and don't overwork yourself." Yoon Woo-ki furrowed his brow, showing concern for his body.

  Tong Mai stood outside the door and heard her words clearly.

  Idiot...

  These days, men will go all out for work? Probably only for women...

  The child's mouth was disdainfully pursed, very disdainful.

  As soon as the man was mentioned, Tong Mai suddenly remembered that man on their last night in London! Suddenly, her face flushed with a wave of redness, and this heat began to spread instantly to every corner of her body.

  "Ugh... thinking back to that day, was she too impulsive? She must have lost her mind to end up in bed with a strange man for no reason."

  Is she too lonely? At this time, Tong Mai heavily knocked her own head a few times, feeling a bit regretful!

  Even if that man... looks okay, I guess. But this person, usually you don't know what's in their heart, who knows if they have AIDS or not! If she gets infected, won't she be done for?

  The more Tong Mai thought about it, the more his scalp felt numb, and a chill began to spread from the soles of his feet.

  She's probably going to have to go to the hospital for a check-up! Not only her body needs to be checked, but also her brain, thoroughly and meticulously...

  She wasn't a frivolous woman, so why did she do such a thing? Tong Mai's chest felt suffocated, and she didn't want to think about what happened that night, but the image of that man seemed to become clearer in her mind!

  Tong Mai hastily entered her own room, covering her head with a quilt, trying to drive away the unbearable scene, but ultimately in vain. It was as if she was intentionally punishing her impulsiveness, deliberately reminding herself that from now on, before doing anything, she must think thrice.

  The whole night, Tong Mai was in a daze, sleeping and waking up, waking up and sleeping, haunted by nightmares...
