At that moment, the phone chimed with a text message.
Xiao Manshu sat up abruptly, unexpectedly feeling a flicker of hope, thinking it might be a message from Xiao Jingchen. Yet another voice told her it was unlikely, as he had never texted her before.
She stared at the words flashing on the screen, her pupils suddenly contracting.
It was a scandalous photo!
A suggestive photo of Tang Ran and Xiao Jingchen, accompanied by a line: "I'm back, and I'll take back everything that belongs to me."
Xiao Manshu tightened her grip on the phone, her gaze fixed on the screen as if to pierce through it. She initially tried to see something in the photo, like Xiao Jingchen being coerced, but all she saw was Xiao Jingchen's expression of enjoyment, with no reluctance at all.
In fact, the gentle look on his face was something she had never seen before. Gradually, her eyes began to sting, a mist clouding her vision.
