3 Return of Heaven's Favored – Part 3

That meant we weren't together last night!

'Thud'.

The phone slipped out of her hand, falling onto the bed. Ji Anning stared at it, her face blanched.

The man from last night wasn't Jingfeng. It wasn't him!

"Anan?"

After not hearing Ji Anning's voice for a while, Ji Jingfeng asked quizzically.

Swiftly, Ji Anning picked up the mobile phone and placed it by her ear. She did her utmost to suppress her distress, but her voice remained mute from the dread that she might give away her apprehension and fearfulness. She was concerned Ji Jingfeng might grow suspicious the moment she spoke.

After a very long time, she nodded and said, "Okay."

Ji Jingfeng was delighted. "Then I'll swing by and pick you up. We'll head home together."

Ji Anning, who was preoccupied, was about to just agree to it, until she abruptly recalled those uneven marks on her chest and rapidly changed her words, "No… it's fine. I can go back on my own. If you're worried that Mom might notice, I can meet you at the door."

"Sure…"

Ji Anning did not pay attention to what Ji Jingfeng had to say. She held her mobile phone and sat on the bed in a world of her own.

Some other man stole my virginity from me last night. I was unfaithful before we got married.

The more Ji Anning thought, the more petrified and helpless she became. Then tears cascaded from her eyes.

How am I ever going to face Ji Jingfeng? How can I possibly marry into the Jis? What about my future and my parents residing in a convalescent home in C City?

As she pondered, her emotions poured out like a deluge. Incapable of withholding it, she wailed out loudly.

It had been eight years since she last cried. She had not dared to weep like this, because each time she wanted to, she would cast her mind to that proud youth. Recalling the disdain and distaste in those glacial peach blossom shaped eyes of his, as she slowly recalled what he said.

'Crying is a sign of weakness. If you're the one who's weak, who do you think they'll bully?'

The moment this crossed Ji Anning's mind, her sobbing instantaneously ceased. She quickly wiped her tears. It was not the time for tears.

She had to focus on skedaddling out of here.

Lifting the blanket, she got off the bed. She placed her feet on the ground and stood up. Her legs went limp. She hurriedly braced herself, holding the side of the bed before she slowly stood straight up.

Her eyes inadvertently scanned the bedside table. A pink post-it note covered with words came into her sight. She furrowed her brows as she removed it.

'Don't even start to think that you've lost anything. If anyone was a victim, it was me for sleeping with someone as scrawny as you.'

'If you want to know who does the best boob job, no one does it better than my hands! Feel free to make an appointment for free breast enhancement. My number is 520-131-4520.'

This arrogant rapist!

Ji Anning could sense blood rising to the back of her throat. She was on the verge of puking it out. Gritting her teeth, she ripped the square post-it note into smithereens and balled it up.

...

As she stood under the stream of shower water, Ji Anning rubbed until her skin got chafed. Yet, it was impossible to rid herself of the marks left behind from last night's nightmare.

Every time she tried to think of what she should do now, her mind flew into chaos.
