Seeing Xu Yina’s frightened look, Han An said, “Don’t lie to me.”

　　 “No, it’s not.”

　　 “What exactly did he say to you?”

　　 Xu Yina didn’t say anything until the two arrived at the underground parking lot.

　　 After they both got into the car, Han An asked, “Where do you want to go?”

　　 “have no idea……”

　　 “Let me put it this way,” Han An said, looking at Xu Yina who had been keeping her head down, “I know it was Qiao Liang who called you, so if you don’t tell me what he said to you, I will immediately call the police and say that you are withholding information.”

　　 “Boss, could you please stop?”

　　 “Then tell me what exactly happened!”

　　 Hearing Han An’s almost accusatory tone, Xu Yina didn’t know whether she should speak or not.

　　 After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yina said, “I was really stupid to ask someone like Qiao Liang for help. Because he’s from my hometown, and we used to be quite close, I told him about our relationship. At first, I said we were just like lovers, and he asked if we had ever had sex. I said no, but he just wouldn’t believe me, so I just kept quiet. This morning he called me and said that if I didn’t call the police and say that what happened last night was consensual, he would ruin my marriage.”

　　 “Hold!”

　　 Xu Yina trembled in fright when Han An suddenly cursed.

　　 “Qiao Liang is such a despicable person!”

　　 “Yes,” Xu Yina said, “of course I don’t want to help him, but now I don’t know what to do.”

　　 “If you help him, you will be breaking the law.”

　　 “I know, but what can I do?” Xu Yina said. “Last night I heard you making love with the boss’s wife, which made me realize that you really still love her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be making love with her again. So I thought that, as long as you don’t want a divorce, your marriage absolutely cannot end because of me. So I was thinking that maybe I could risk breaking the law and try it.”

　　 “You’re so stupid.”

　　 “I know I’m stupid…”

　　 “If you help him escape legal punishment this time, do you know what will happen to you?”

　　 “I could go to jail for falsifying documents.”

　　 “That’s secondary,” Han An said. “The main thing is that he will continue to use this to threaten you and force you to obey his arrangements. He’s actually worse than Sun Minghao, and he might also be someone from that music club. Most music clubs aren’t exactly clean these days, so I’m afraid he’s trying to trick you into going there and selling yourself.”

　　 “Probably not.”

　　 “What will you do if he uses our issues to threaten you again and forces you to obey him unconditionally?”

　　 “I have no idea……”

　　 After saying those four words, Xu Yina immediately covered her face and started crying.

　　 Seeing Xu Yina’s lonely and dejected appearance, Han An couldn’t bear to continue scolding her.

　　 After handing two tissues to Xu Yina, Han An asked, “Are you able to contact him?”

　　 “Can.”

　　 “That’s good,” Han An said. “If you do as I say, he won’t be able to continue threatening you or destroy my family.”

　　 “real?”

　　 “Um.”

　　 “Okay, then boss, tell me what to do.”

　　 After thinking for several minutes, Han An finally revealed his plan.

　　 After listening, Xu Yina hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

　　 Looking at his watch, Han An said, “Call him again in an hour. Calling now will only arouse his suspicion.”

　　 “I know.”

　　 “I’ll take you for a drive. I know you must be feeling really bad because of what happened last night.”

　　 Xu Yina didn’t speak, she just nodded.

　　 After driving away from the residential area, Han An slowed down and played some soft music.

　　 This kind of music can relieve stress, which is very suitable for Xu Yina at this moment.

　　 After a while, Han An asked, “How far have things progressed between you and him?”

　　 “I haven’t done it.”

　　 Han An wanted to ask more questions, but then he felt it was unnecessary.

　　 After all, he and Xu Yina could never be together.

　　 Therefore, he didn’t actually need to know about Xu Yina’s intimate behavior with Qiao Liang these past few days.

　　 Han An didn’t ask any further questions, but Xu Yina said, “Never mind, I won’t lie to you, boss. After all, lies are no good. Because Qiao Liang confessed his feelings to me and said he would take care of me for the rest of my life, I treat Qiao Liang like my husband. Plus, I desperately need a man’s comfort, so I had sex with Qiao Liang the night before last.”

　　 Xu Yina didn’t want to have any lingering ties with Han An, so she told this lie.

　　 As for Han An, he naturally felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing these words.

　　 Han An wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say, so all that was left was a sigh.

　　 After a long silence, Xu Yina, gazing out the window, finally asked, “Am I a shameless woman?”

　　 “No, it’s just that you’re too easily moved by emotions.”

　　 “It’s not being moved, it’s being promiscuous.”

　　 “Whatever,” Han An said. “Anyway, after you’ve dealt with Qiao Liang’s matter, you should take a few days to rest. If you want to date or have a whirlwind marriage in the future, you’d better let me know in advance. Although I’m not a wise man, I can at least give you some advice. Like when you said you were with Qiao Liang, I said that Qiao Liang’s motives might not be pure.”

　　 “I will.”

　　 “Um.”

　　 An hour later, Xu Yina called Qiao Liang.

　　 After the call connected, Xu Yina asked, “Where are you now?”

　　 “Have you told the police?”

　　 “Not yet,” Xu Yina said. “You actually seem like a liar, so I can’t completely believe what you say.”

　　 “You should understand that the initiative is in my hands.”

　　 “You’re wrong,” Xu Yina said. “If I didn’t care about my boss’s marriage, then the initiative is actually in my hands. You think I love my boss, but you’re completely wrong. I’m only with my boss because I’m lonely, not because I really want to be with him. Otherwise, how could I have gotten together with you so easily?”

　　 “So what do you want?”

　　 “I want to meet with you and sign the agreement I’ve printed out.”

　　 “What kind of bullshit agreement is this?”

　　 You’ll find out when we meet.

　　 “Don’t try anything funny!”

　　 “What tricks could I possibly play?” Xu Yina chuckled. “I’m just a little woman, no match for a big man like you. After we meet and you sign the agreement, I’ll call the police right in front of you. Honestly, if I don’t call the police in front of you, you won’t believe I did.”

　　 “What exactly is the content of your agreement?”

　　 “If you reveal anything about my past with my boss, you’ll have to pay me compensation.”

　　 “How childish.”

　　 “I don’t have much money, so of course all I want is money,” Xu Yina added after a pause. “Of course, I have other requests as well.”
