She hadn’t had a good rest after several days of runway shows.
Her ankle wasn’t just red; it was also somewhat swollen and very painful to walk on.
She fetched a basin of hot water, sat on a small stool, and started to soak her feet.
Gently massaging her ankle, soaking it in hot water indeed felt much more comfortable.
She thought she could hold on for a while longer and then rest.
Then she could return home and peacefully stay by Shaohua’s side.
Once her career was stable, she could comfortably marry Shaohua.
She would become a happy little woman, living blissfully with him until old age.
Thinking about their future life, Song Yi started to smile happily.
Her foot didn’t hurt so much anymore.
She wished she could return home immediately, but now she had to endure!
A little longer, and she could manage it.
Tian Xingyun emerged from her bath, feeling very refreshed.
She lay on the bed, eating fruit, her peripheral vision accidentally catching sight of Huo Shaohua’s phone on the cabinet.
He didn’t take his phone out?
Her eyes remained fixed on the phone, as if it were filled with magical power.
Gradually, it drew her in, and finally, she couldn’t resist and reached out to grab it.
When she picked it up, it was turned off; it seemed that his issue with Song Yi was quite serious.
If not, why would he turn off his phone? This only confirmed her suspicions.
As she pressed the power button, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Frightened, her hands trembled, and the phone fell to the floor.
She didn’t have time to pick it up before seeing Huo Shaohua stumbling inside.
A strong smell of alcohol hit her.
Tian Xingyun stared at Huo Shaohua while her peripheral vision caught the phone on the floor.
If he found out she had taken his phone, she’d be finished.
Huo Shaohua stood by the bed, irritably yanking off his tie.
He squinted at the woman on the bed: "Who are you?"
Tian Xingyun nervously looked him over; he seemed very drunk.
He actually didn’t remember who she was.
"I’m Tian Xingyun." She answered cautiously.
"Tian Xingyun?" Huo Shaohua’s face contorted with discomfort.
He took off his jacket and started unbuttoning his shirt.
"Yes, I’m Tian Xingyun." Tian Xingyun got off the bed and put on her shoes, still watching the phone with her peripheral vision.
Seizing the moment while Huo Shaohua was pondering inattentively, she crouched down to pick up the phone.
"Tian Xingyun!" Suddenly, Huo Shaohua shouted furiously.
Tian Xingyun was startled again, her hand shook and the phone fell down once more.
"What was that sound?" Huo Shaohua walked towards her.
"Nothing!" Tian Xingyun stood up, kicked the phone under the bed.
No way she could let him see her holding his phone.
"What are you trying to plot against me now?" Huo Shaohua’s eyes burned with anger and danger.
He walked unsteadily towards her, remembering who Tian Xingyun was.
She was the woman who had plotted against him, threatened him, and was carrying his child.
Creating a rift and lies between him and Song Yi.
"I wasn’t trying to plot against you." Tian Xingyun’s steps shifted uneasily; her instincts told her that Huo Shaohua was very dangerous now.
Huo Shaohua came closer, extended his arm, and grabbed her neck.
"You weren’t trying to plot against me?" he squeezed through gritted teeth, his hand increasing force and lifting her.
Tian Xingyun’s eyes were wide with terror; he really wanted to strangle her!
She raised her hands to strike his arm, her face contorted with pain.
Huo Shaohua flung her forcefully, causing Tian Xingyun to collapse on the large bed, dizzy.
"Don’t you wish to be with me? Now I’ll give you that chance!" Huo Shaohua sneered.
"What are you trying to do?" Tian Xingyun panicked, and the next second –
The pain made her frown, but she didn’t dare fight back, fearing that struggling would harm the baby.
Huo Shaohua was extremely angry, and he vented all his rage on her.
