Hot!

Beads of sweat broke out on Baby Xiao's forehead, her fair skin flushed as though she were a shrimp boiled to perfection, parched and panting as if a fire was raging inside her.

She mustered the strength to pry open her heavy eyelids to be met with a pair of deep, cold eyes, making her heart skip a beat instantly.

"Who... who are you?"

She strained to speak, only to find her voice had turned hoarse, sounding like a septuagenarian.

"Already crawled onto the bed willingly, yet playing hard to get now?"

The man sitting on the couch, his voice deep and magnetic, his chiseled features obscured by shadows, casually fiddled with a lighter in his hand.

What did he mean?

Confusion flickered in Baby Xiao's eyes. When had she been proactive?

She was getting married tomorrow; how could she possibly be interested in another man?

Tonight was her bachelorette party, everyone was having a great time, so why was she here?

She vaguely remembered downing a drink that her younger sister, Xiao Yu, had toasted to her, but nothing after that.

No matter what, she couldn't stay here; she had to get home.

With gritted teeth, Baby Xiao struggled to get up, striving to leave this strange room.

"Save your energy; I'm not into corpses."

His low and cold voice was as pleasant as the melody of a cello, but to her, it was as terrifying as the arrival of a demon.

A moment later, she found herself in the embrace of a broad chest, its icy and overpowering aura instantly enveloping her, leaving her no room to escape.

'Xiao Bao Bei' wanted to scream loudly but couldn’t make a sound due to sheer fear.

Struggling with all her might only seemed like a tickle to him, which seemed to rather add some amusement for him.

All her despair and unwillingness, in the end, was crushed...

The lengthy humiliation felt like a lifetime to her.

When 'Xiao Bao Bei' opened her eyes, the room was empty, and the scattered clothes on the floor proved that what happened last night was not a dream.

She was really forced by a strange man!

'Xiao Bao Bei' tried to recall the overpowering man from last night, but the dim lighting made it hard for her to see his face clearly. All she could remember was his sharp eagle-like eyes that sent chills down her spine.

No matter how much she begged, she finally fainted helplessly.

She gritted her teeth, no matter how handsome he was, he was a detestable rapist.

As 'Xiao Bao Bei' tried moving her body, she instantly gasped for air and her bun-sized face turned pale.

She held back tears of grievances, her heart seemed to be tightly gripped by something when she thought about what had happened last night. Why would the Heavens be so cruel to her?

How was she going to explain to her fiancé 'Zuo Qin' about her inexplicable loss of virginity on the eve of their wedding?

But she hadn’t even seen the face of the man last night, how could she explain?

She must not let anyone know about this, or else.....

Bam!

Suddenly, the hotel room door was burst open, and a large group of people rushed in, taking pictures of the person lying on the bed with their cameras.

Little Darling was terrified, tightly wrapping herself in the quilt, she exclaimed loudly, "Who are you? Get out."

"Miss Xiao, did you have a one-night stand with someone else's man yesterday?"

"Miss Xiao, today is your wedding day with Master Zuo. However, as the bride, you were caught in a hotel room with another man. What do you have to say about this?"

The press's pressing questions only served to make Little Darling's defenses crumble further. Now, even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain herself clearly.

"No, it's not like that....."

Little Darling's face was pale as she clutched the quilt, her clear black and white eyes filled with panic. What should she do?

If this news were to be made public, she'd be completely done for....

In just a few minutes, the headlines of the entertainment section were filled with photos of Xiao clan's heiress having an extramarital affair the night before her wedding.

Little Darling had become everyone's target, the reproach against her came wave after wave, eager to label her with all types of malicious tags.

She forced herself to leave the hotel, hailed a taxi, "Drive me to XX church."

Determination flickered in her beautiful eyes, she had to explain everything to Zuo, how she was violated by a stranger yesterday.

Zuo would definitely accompany her to the police. He would, for sure.

She trusted in her longtime childhood sweetheart, Zuo Gege. Even if the whole world doubted her, she knew he would believe in her.

The taxi stopped outside the church, and she was surprised to see the crowd bustling inside—it was incredibly lively.

Could there be other weddings taking place in the church today?

After the scandalous pictures of her at the hotel had been leaked in the morning, she thought that the wedding would've been called off for sure.

Little Treasure walked into the church with a heavy heart, only to be taken aback by the familiarity of the couple standing before the priest.

"Mr. Zuo Qin, do you take Miss Xiao Yu to be your wife?"

"I do."

Immediately, applause filled the room and cheers of blessings arose from the crowd. Every cheer was like a thousand arrows piercing Little Treasure's heart.

The scene was too cruel. She wished she could gouge her eyes out and avoid watching her Zuo Gege marrying another woman.

"Why?"

As Little Treasure was about to step forward and confront them, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck and everything went dark.

When she woke up, she found herself bound hand and foot.

"So feckless of yours, women like you deserve the cangue."

A middle-aged woman, heavily made up, pointed her nose and scolded, "You thought you could steal our family's Xiao Yu's man, I spit, not in this lifetime."

"Is it you?"

When Xiaobao saw her stepmother in front of her, she clenched her teeth and asked, "Where's Brother Zuo?"

She had to get an answer.

"You little wench, Zuo Qin is already married to my daughter. Just give up any hope, this wedding was never meant for you from the beginning."

The marriage between the family of Xiao and Zuo was a big thing. When Xiaobao's scandal was exposed, of course, her daughter was the one to replace the little wench and become the mistress of the Zuo family.

The middle-aged woman showed a triumphant smile, "Heh, you really do take after your impatient mother, always made for the backstage."

Enraged, Xiaobao trembled all over, "Shut up, you're not fit to mention my mother."

"Shoo, little wench."

The middle-aged woman slapped Xiaobao and then spoke to the people behind her, "Tie her up and throw her into the sea."

Only then did Xiaobao realize that they were on a ship surrounded by the boundless sea.

She was so scared that her blood ran cold. Was she really going to die today?

She hadn't found Brother Zuo to clarify things, nor had she explained the misunderstanding at the hotel today. She didn't want to die.

"You should be happy, little wench. Just like your shameless mother, you will both be buried in this vast sea."

"What did you say? What do you mean?"

Xiaobao widened her eyes, looking at her stepmother,"It's you, you killed my mother."

She had always thought that her mother had gone missing.

Turned out to be it was her evil stepmother.

However, she was thrown into the sea while she helplessly watched the smug face of her stepmother getting smaller and blurred....

Xiaobao kept sinking in the water, but then a group of dolphins came, lifting her up towards the surface by her waist.

The nearby fishing vessels saw a woman floating on the water and hurried over to rescue her…
