At the divorce notary office, when asked who was at fault in the marriage,

Liang Feifan propped his legs up comfortably. "I cheated. Twice."

He was so wealthy that he didn’t care about the division of property at all.

He said that just to spite me.

I curled my lips slowly. "I cheated too. With your best friend, Lu Yao."

...

"Why don’t you go after Xia Yi? That way, she won’t have the energy to snoop into the women around me."

If I hadn’t heard it with my own ears,

I would never have dreamed that Liang Feifan would actually urge his best friend to pursue me.

Ten minutes earlier, I’d spotted Liang Feifan’s Cayenne in the garage.

My heart skipping with joy, I bounded up the stairs three at a time to the study to find him.

"Honey, why did you come home so early today?"

Liang Feifan shot me a disgusted glance. "Get out. Can’t you see Lu Yao and I are discussing business?"

I froze on the spot, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

Lu Yao was Liang Feifan’s best friend and business partner.

Once, during the sweetest days of our relationship,

Liang Feifan had his left arm wrapped around my waist and his right hand clapped on Lu Yao’s shoulder as we stood together in America, ringing the bell for his company’s IPO.

It was the proudest moment of his life.

He’d said he had to share it with the most important people in his world.

But now, just two short years later, was I already unworthy of even listening to his conversation with Lu Yao?

Tears flooded my eyes in an instant, threatening to spill over any second.

Not wanting to humiliate myself further in front of Lu Yao,

I spun around and ran for the door.

"Feifan, you’re going too far."

Lu Yao’s voice, defending me, drifted through the half-open door.

"Don’t worry about her. She’s got a thick skin."

"Why don’t you go after Xia Yi? That way, she won’t have the energy to snoop into the women around me."

"You shouldn’t joke about that."

Liang Feifan clicked his tongue. "You’d never go for a trophy wife like Xia Yi anyway."

He was a rising star in the field of biomedical science.

And I’d become nothing more than a beautiful woman with no professional skills in his eyes.

But once upon a time, *I* was the legend of A University’s Biology Department.
