"There's always 'divorce' as an option. No marriage is permanent." Wei Sianqi's words earned a glare from Lu Mengjie. "Even if it's not me, Mr. Yong has other women. I've seen them, met them. You don't know how attractive they are, how they could seduce him to their bed."

"So? He wouldn't have married me if he preferred to keep his relationship with those girls. Besides, I am now his LEGAL wife. He will always come home to me even if he has someone else." She may have spouted those words but deep inside, she hoped that Yong Liwei would only look at her and no one else. She would never forgive him at all since he has already acknowledged that she was his wife.

Meanwhile, Wei Sianqi ended up pressing her lips together. She already knew that Yong Liwei had ended all his contracts with the other women. This was the reason why she wanted to commit suicide. She knew that just like them, he would abandon her.

"Wei Sianqi, you are young. So many things can happen, you can still meet so many other people that can bring changes to you. To become your friends, family." She picked the chopsticks as she looked at her half-eaten plate. "Don't waste your life with someone like my husband. He is already mine, go find another boy who will shower you with his love. Live, have fun and stop bothering my husband."

"You don't know me," she retorted with a frown. Even if Lu Mengjie has a point, she was already too attached to the man. "Also, Mr. Yong saved me. I owe him. I will follow him—"

"Oh please," Lu Mengjie interrupted. "I know what happened. My kind husband may have saved you from killing yourself but.." she paused and cast her cold gaze at her. "If you want to commit suicide now, I won't stop you."

The other woman was shocked upon hearing her words.

"And you're correct, I don't know you. I don't know what you've been through. We're strangers so if you die now, I won't really mind it. One less headache for me." She shrugged before she continued to eat.

"Mr. Yong will hate you," Wei Sianqi spat and brazenly continued, "I am his favorite!"

She wiped her lips with a napkin before she looked at her with a menacing smile. "Not anymore, sweetie. Not anymore."

The girl clenched her fists tightly as she watched how calm Lu Mengjie was even at the mention of Yong Liwei's other women.

"You owe him your life so if you want to repay him, why don't you be a good girl and stay away from his family? I can tolerate you living in this place while you recover but I will never tolerate a vixen taking advantage of our kindness." Her lips turned up as she flashed her a smile. "I don't hate you, Wei Sianqi but I'm willing to unplug your life support just to charge my phone."

The younger girl gritted her teeth as she gazed sharply at Lu Mengjie. She couldn't bring herself to like her. She was her rival in love no matter what she said. "Go to hell!" She blurted out in frustration.

"Oh sweetie, where did you think I come from? The devil didn't like me there so he spat me out." She chuckled. She stood up and looked down at her. "Word of advice. Love is like a fart, if you force it, it's probably shit. You can't force my husband to love you so why don't you focus on becoming a successful person instead? You have a lot to learn. One day, your prince will come."

With that, Lu Mengjie walked out and headed to her room, leaving the speechless girl alone.

..

Inside the bedroom, Lu Mengjie made a video call to Bella Qin just to check in with her son. The moment the boy saw her on the phone's screen, he recognized her. He began reaching out to her. She felt a prick in her chest. It was hard to see him like that. Oh, how she wished that she could embrace him at that moment. She missed him a lot.

While she was having a baby talk with her son, the phone was taken by someone and there she saw Sloth's mature handsomeness.

"Teacher Qiang!" Lu Mengjie grinned as she greeted him.

"I lost contact with you. Did you change your phone?"

"Ah.." she forgot to give her new contact but there was not much time at that moment since she also didn't expect that it would be taken away. She told him what happened and apologized for making him worry.

"I heard from young master Greed that you're back in the mainland."

"Ah, yes I am."

"Please be careful, Wrath is there as well, " he informed.

Wrath.. Because of the other's suspicion on him, she couldn't help but doubt him as well even if she didn't want to. She wanted to believe that Wrath has always been a trustable person. She wanted to prove them wrong but.. even Shi Enxi, her aunt, was suspicious. She once told her that it was going to be either Yong Liwei or Wrath that kidnapped her.

"Don't worry, I will be careful. Please watch over my son there. I leave him in your care."

The call ended shortly and this time, Lu Mengjie dressed up for her meeting with a friend. She contacted one of her brother's men to pick her up from the place but before she could leave, she noticed Wei Sianqi, alone in the living room. She saw her holding a small, white container. When she went close, she saw that it was medicine.

"Are you planning to kill yourself by overdosing?"

The girl was startled that she dropped the container on the floor, spilling its contents.

"Don't you think that it's a waste?" She held onto the wheelchair's handles from behind. She began pushing the chair towards the door.

"W-what are you doing?"

"Giving you a better option on how to die. It's quick and painless."
