He had never been merciful to any woman who dared to disobey him. This could be seen from the fact that he had broken Zhao Ziqing's wrist before. However, facing this little woman with red eyes and messy hair, he had no idea what he was enduring.

After a long while, she remained silent, as if she was going to continue bickering with him just like that.

He squeezed her chin with his fingers, lifted her head, gritted his teeth, and said,

"I'll go to school to hand this over today!"

After which, he passed the object in his hand to her.

Lin Qiuye stared at the brand-new aspiration form in front of him, his eyes wide with shock, unable to say a single word.

Even though it was already filled in, with only one school being filled up and no second aspiration at all, and all of them disobeying the orders, a trace of hope still rose in her heart.

It would be better than not even having a volunteer letter. Calming himself down, Mo Mo took the volunteer letter and walked around him to the washroom.

"You don't even thank me?"

Li Jun pulled her back in anger. She didn't believe that she would just leave like that. This was the aspiration form that he'd gotten Dragon One to send over early in the morning. She didn't even have a word of thanks?

"That's what you're supposed to give me, isn't it?"

She shook off his hand and said without looking back.

Zhuang Shili was rendered speechless by her words. Seeing that she had entered the washroom as if nothing had happened, he thought that he really should crush her neck! He slammed the door to the ground, rushed into his bedroom and changed into his clothes. Then, with a calm and handsome face, he left in large strides.

In the bathroom, after hearing the deafening slam of the door, Lin Qiu Ye felt as if all her strength had been wrenched out of her body. She hastily used one hand to support her weak body on the washstand while the other hand trembled as she held the aspiration form before her eyes.

Her current emotions were all fake. That complicated feeling of recovering from a loss made her momentarily at a loss as to how to express it.

To be honest, she didn't know what he would do to her after she went against him like that. She just didn't want to lower her head to him at all. She could compromise on anything else, even selling her body.

But last night, he had almost destroyed her. That kind of unbearable pain made her have the urge to jump down from the 18th floor, so she wasn't ready to compromise.

Looking at her red and swollen eyes in the mirror, she couldn't help but bitterly smile. What was superfluous? Summer cotton-padded jacket, winter palm-leaf fan, and waiting for me to have a cold heart after your hospitality. Therefore, she was not the least bit grateful for his actions.

She did not love, nor did she hate, nor did she feel sorrow, nor did she feel joy. She thought they were just physical transactions, that the soul would always be a stranger.

After returning to the living room, she carefully stored the aspiration form in her bag. Only then did she muster up her energy to wash up and prepare to hand in her aspiration form at school. After handing in the form, her heart began to feel uneasy, because she had no idea if she would be accepted or not.

She was too distracted to go home, so she went to Shu Can's place.

"Autumn Leaf, what's wrong with you?"

Shu Ming saw that her face was pale and hurriedly asked with concern.

Autumn Leaf was so tired that she kicked off her shoes and fell onto the sofa.

"It's nothing. I just handed in my aspiration form. I was just a little flustered!"

Shu Can poured her a cup of water and sat on the sofa beside her.

"Panic? In other words … You really signed up for our school? "

"Yes!"

She rolled over and buried her head in the sofa. Can she say that she was forced to do so?

Shu Can carelessly stretched out his hand to slap her face.

"Why do you look so regretful now that you've already registered? It wouldn't be a bad idea to challenge him, maybe he even succeeded!"

"Senior, I …"

With a whoosh, she sat up from the sofa. She looked at Shu Can without saying anything, and then instantly collapsed, discouraged.

"That's enough, I can understand the worry you're feeling. Right …"

Shuzhe looked at her with some hesitation.

"Song Hengming... "Find me …"

"Oh."

Autumn Leaf was lying lazily on the sofa, not wanting to say anything. He had called her on the way to Shushan's house many times, but she had hung up on him.

"Autumn Leaf …" I think... "Song Hengming is actually pretty good …"

She had also seen the feelings that Song Hengming had towards Autumn Leaf in the past few years. She had thought that Autumn Leaf would be moved by Song Hengming slowly, but who knew that she would leave him in the middle of the road?

But from the looks of it, Song Hengming did not seem to have the intention of giving up on Autumn Leaf.

As far as she was concerned, no, in the eyes of everyone else, Song Hengming was indeed a good man to entrust his entire life to. He was elegant and handsome, had a rich family background, and most importantly, he had always been deeply in love with Autumn Leaf.

That Zhuang Shili really was someone from a different world to them. He was mysterious, aloof, and cold, and distant. Just looking at him would cause others to tremble in fear, not to mention being with him from day to night.

Since he didn't mind the past of Autumn Leaf, then after the contract between Autumn Leaf and that Manor Time was over, it would be good for him to start over with Song Hengming again. In any case, she was still young, and would only be 22 years old four years later.

However, these words were only her own thoughts. If she were to say it out loud and let Lin Qiu Ye know, she would definitely scold her.

Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Autumn Leaf suddenly crawled up from the sofa.

"Senior sister, I'm feeling very flustered right now. I can't even stay a day. What should I do?" "You should find me a place to work. I need to get busy in order to get rid of this feeling of living like a year …"

She clearly did not want to talk about Song Hengming.
