After three years of a secret romance, her ordinary boyfriend suddenly spent tens of millions to break up with her, transforming overnight into a powerful mogul among the elite of Beijing. Yet, the young lawyer Lu Yao did not cling or beg; instead, she coolly tossed double the breakup fee at him and walked away with grace. She thought their paths would never cross again, but fate drew them both into a fierce battle for power among the wealthy. When the mogul finally ascended to his throne, he saw his former lover surrounded by a crowd of outstanding suitors, and jealousy flared within him. Unable to restrain himself, he seized her and dragged her straight to the marriage registry. "Second Master Ye, do you know this is called abducting an innocent woman?" "I'm not abducting an ordinary woman," he replied, "I'm taking a fairy." From that day on, Second Master Ye transformed into a man hopelessly devoted to his wife, chasing his fairy to the ends of the earth.
"Lu Yao, let's break up."
"There's ten million in this card. Take it as compensation for being my secret lover for three years. From now on, let's not see each other again."
After a night of passion, the man didn’t reach for a cigarette as usual, but instead placed a bank card into her delicate, fair hand.
Lu Yao was stunned. The flush on her cheeks had yet to fade, and her pale fingers instinctively tightened around the card.
He was breaking up with her?
For the past month, he had completely changed, clinging to her every day and night, unable to get enough. He’d called her an enchanting little siren, claiming she was his addiction.
For the first time in three years, she’d felt the fluttering thrill of young love.
Could it be he’d uncovered her real reason for getting close to him?
Why else would he choose their third anniversary to end things so abruptly?
Besides, he was only an attending physician at a top hospital—how could he possibly have ten million in savings? She prayed he hadn’t done anything illegal just to get rid of her.
Worried, Lu Yao sat up.
Her slender, pale arm reached past Ye Zehong to retrieve her phone from the bedside table. After a few quick taps, another device chimed with a message.
Ye Zehong picked up his phone.
Two million transferred? And the sender—Lu Yao?
His brows drew together, a storm gathering in his eyes as he turned the screen toward her. "Where did all this money come from?"
"Does it matter?"
