Young Master Is Being Jealous Again!

Chapter 883: Chapter 883 I was just playing with you, but you proposed to me

Ke Zhibin felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, sensing that what Hen Nianzhen was about to say was not something a businessman like him should hear.

Unaware of his keen intuition, she seemed to have found someone to confide in, and poured out the humiliations she had suppressed in her heart over the years.

"Director Taixing coerced me into being with him back then, and even made me share myself with others. At that time, I had family, and I dared not disobey.

When those people had their fill and could no longer find any novelty in me, to fulfill the yearly tasks of the Black Mandala Network, Director Taixing put me up for auction. I would not be a human being if I did not avenge this grudge!"

Qin Ruan spoke up, "Couldn’t you find someone to ask for help at that time?"

She recalled the helplessness she felt in the detention center in her past life. If there was the slightest chance, she would have begged anyone for help.

Because she had been warned in advance, she couldn’t contact anyone from the outside world. The authorities had been notified as well, and the Qin Group was facing a life-and-death crisis at that time, so she could only watch powerlessly as her child was lost.

The agony of that experience made her empathize with Hen Nianzhen’s ordeal.

Hen Nianzhen laughed, a laugh full of tragic self-mockery, "How could they give me a chance? I will forever remember that night was overcast, with light drizzle falling from the sky, and the wind was piercingly cold.

They knocked me unconscious and when I woke up, I was already on a boat. Then I was forced onto a private plane and taken to the live auction site."

Under Ke Zhibin’s sympathetic gaze and Qin Ruan’s complex look, Hen Nianzhen tilted her head.

"Let me tell you a secret, the content Director Taixing posts on the Black Mandala Network forum, or should I say, when people from the East log in to that network, the code they post has a peony pattern in the bottom left corner. It is the identity mark of all members from the East."

Qin Ruan calmly asked, "Do the carriers from other countries also have their unique patterns in their posted content?"

Hen Nianzhen nodded, "Of course. Back then, I was sold as a product to a noble in Northern England. Their country’s pattern is a rose."

Northern England, the country where her maternal grandfather resided.

Qin Ruan thought of her philandering second uncle and told herself it couldn’t be that melodramatic.

Yet she couldn’t help but ask another question, "You managed to return alive from Northern England. Was the noble family that bought you of Chinese descent?"

Hen Nianzhen shook her head, "No, they are from an ancient noble lineage locally, and I cannot reveal their true identities."

With a somewhat hoarse voice, Ke Zhibin asked, "What did you encounter there?"

Hen Nianzhen laughed again, this time with a bizarre expression and a hint of excitement, "In that foreign place, I endured almost six months of caged bird torture. I went through life-and-death experiences before I could return to my homeland.

Director Taixing was extremely shocked when he saw me, but he didn’t dare to provoke me anymore, thinking I was still that noble family’s canary."

Seeing his ex-wife’s smile, Ke Zhibin felt a chill, "Over the years, besides Director Taixing, you’ve indirectly killed a few others, haven’t you?"

Qin Ruan had personally told him that he was surrounded by the evil Qi of five vengeful spirits.

Hen Nianzhen nodded, generously admitting, "There were also one, two, three, four, five others, I believe. You should know I’ve been hiding my brilliance and biding my time for years to accumulate connections, all in pursuit of an opportunity for revenge.

A few years ago, the nation’s famous director was disgraced, caught in a scandal, and his indecent photos were everywhere. He was also exposed in a tax evasion case. I was the one stirring the waters from behind the scenes.

Oh yes, there was also the successor of Longtou Technology Co., Ltd., who died in a car crash while racing late at night and went over a cliff before our marriage. That was my doing too.

All of them, each had left a significant mark of pain on me. I have been lingering on the edge of death up to this day, all just to take revenge on them."

Hen Nianzhen caressed her skin, which had become a Puppet Soul but retained its pale complexion, and with a seductive lift of her eyes, she smiled and asked Ke Zhibin, "Do you like my body?"

"Before returning to my country, my skin was covered in scars. There wasn’t a single spot on my body, aside from my face, that was unmarked. In order to stand before people again, I underwent skin graft surgery."

"The agony of it, compared to the years of hardship I endured at Taixing’s side and in the hands of the nobility of Northern England, was indeed trivial."

Ke Zhibin’s lips trembled slightly as he asked, "With your abilities, taking care of those people without leaving any trace, why did you still agree to marry me?"

He knew about that famous domestic director, rumored to have some connections with the six major aristocratic families.

There was also the leading company in the industry, Longtou Technology Co., Ltd., not a small force, backed by powerful domestic support.

And Taixing, though he climbed up from the bottom, had a background that was not to be underestimated.

A woman like Hen Nianzhen possessing such abilities, why would she need to marry him.

Ke Zhibin recalled how he had fallen in love with Hen Nianzhen at first sight; to put it bluntly, it was lust at first sight.

Back then, Hen Nianzhen wasn’t yet an artist with Yahuang Entertainment, and he often saw this woman on the big screen but never up close.

When they first met, what Hen Nianzhen brought to him was not the lifelessness of the filtered big screen.

He felt like his heart was being scratched out; his head was full of the desire to possess her.

They were both adults, after all, seeking nothing more than a physical entanglement.

Their dates progressed through rational encounters, candlelit dinners, and various romantic moments underlined with money, eventually leading them to a hotel double bed and the harmonious battle that followed.

Latter in their interactions, one day Ke Zhibin was suddenly struck with the thought of marrying her.

He did not love Hen Nianzhen, but he was fond of her body and her tactfulness, and his status also necessitated a woman by his side.

When Hen Nianzhen heard Ke Zhibin’s question, she was momentarily lost in thought before she laughed: "Of course it’s because your status is more useful. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen in love with me as we step into the halls of marriage once again in middle age."

Ke Zhibin took a deep breath and questioned vehemently, "When we met at the gala that year, did you have everything planned out already?"

Hen Nianzhen’s beautiful but pale face showed a helpless expression, then coquettishly she retorted like a loving spouse, "How can it be so exaggerated? It was clearly you who couldn’t take your eyes off me."

"I took pity on you and made the first move. That was the first time I saw such straightforward admiration in a man’s eyes, so innocent.

"The light in your eyes was admiration for my body, a liking for my appearance, without calculation, without the maliciousness that alienates, and without disrespect towards women.

"I just planned to amuse myself with you, to kill some time. Who knew that you would pursue me with the ways of the young and even propose to me, taking the game so far!"

"Back then, there were still a few enemies in the circle I hadn’t dealt with. Climbing aboard your big ship, naturally, I wouldn’t push it away at the door."

In the end, it was all for exploitation.

Ke Zhibin stared at Hen Nianzhen’s frank smile; despite having done terrible things, her smile was still so radiant.

A look of regret and admiration flashed in his eyes as he softly said, "If it weren’t for Taixing, we wouldn’t have ended up like this."
