The villa, like a palace, exudes an atmosphere of opulence everywhere.
The girl walked out of the kitchen, carefully holding a small plate of freshly baked German cookies.
The cookies slled buttery, and their shapes were extrely delicate. It had taken her more than a week in the kitchen to learn how to make them from the chef.
All this, just to give him a surprise.
However, as she happily carried a small tray of cookies and pushed open the study door, she froze.
A tall figure was standing by the window, and behind him, a woman was tightly hugging him from behind.
"Young Master... I really like you... For you, I can give up everything..."
A voice full of longing rang out, sowhat familiar. Only then did she recognize that the woman in front of her was none other than the popular young starlet, Bao Wei! She had recently starred in many films, all of which were hits, including several TV series funded by NG Empire...
And the man was the CEO of NG Empire in Europe, and her husband — Nangong Yaoling.
She had originally thought that the rumors about them were just for hype... but now...
Seeing her husband being held by another woman, she felt the blood surge to her head, and her hand holding the tray involuntarily loosened.
"Clang—" The cookies in her hand fell to the ground, startling the two people in the room into turning around almost simultaneously.
The woman was visibly stunned.
She was wearing a low-cut dress with a high slit, revealing her long, white legs. Her makeup had taken three hours to perfect, all to et the man in front of her.
But now... nervousness robbed her of words, and she could only look at Nangong Yaoling.
In contrast, he appeared calm and composed, with no extra expression on his face, just coldly asking:
"I rember telling you to knock before entering my study, didn’t I?" Although he did not show anger, his magnetic voice and strong aura made him intimidating. Even Bao Wei, standing beside him, couldn’t help but feel her palms sweat, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"I... I..." The girl stood at the door, embarrassed and stamring, unable to speak.
"Get out."
The girl clenched her fists, wanting to argue, but in the end, she was overwheld by his cold aura.
Involuntarily, she took a step back.
"Young Master told you to get out, are you deaf?" Seeing this, Bao Wei now believed the rumors that Nangong Yaoling had no feelings for his wife.
So she was just an abandoned wife, still trying to compete for favor with her.
She sneered, then reached out to take Nangong Yaoling’s wrist, as if to show off.
Seeing this scene, the girl felt a flash of anger but only gave the woman a glance before turning and leaving.
Arguing with such a woman was really beneath her.
And... he seed... to have no intention of helping her.
"What a downer... Young Master, don’t be mad, I will ask the servants to clean up the ss on the floor." The woman clung to his hand, coquettishly.
However, suddenly, the man shook off her hand with so disgust.
"I think it’s better to have the servants clean you out instead." He said, snapping his fingers towards the door.
Soon, two bodyguards ca in.
The woman widened her eyes in disbelief. "Young Master... I... did I do sothing wrong? You..." she asked, trembling all over, even her voice shaking.
He grabbed her chin, his voice icy: "No one teaches lessons to my people but ."
"Young Master... I... I didn’t an it... I know I was wrong... don’t be mad..." She regretted imnsely, trying to reach out and hug the man, but he coldly pushed her away.
"Don’t appear before again." He said, giving a look, and the bodyguards imdiately stepped forward.
"Young Master... Young Master... how can you treat like this...! After all, I have earned your company quite a lot of money! I..." Her mouth was covered by the bodyguard, and she was directly dragged away.
Finally, the room fell into silence.
Nangong Yaoling looked at the handmade cookies scattered at the door, a complicated look flashing in his dark eyes.

The large indoor swimming pool rippled with light, and the girl’s petite body jumped into the pool, swimming quickly like a rmaid.
The light blue dress rippled elegantly in the water.
She swam for a long ti, feeling much better, and finally, she slowly swam to the shore, sticking her head out to get ready to go ashore.
But then she felt a sudden darkness in front of her eyes, and a strong hand suddenly pressed down on her head.
She froze for a mont, then realized and struggled desperately, feeling a fear she had never felt before.
The strong hand gripped her hair from above, forcefully pressing her head into the water.
Losing oxygen, she kicked her feet frantically in the water.
Because she wanted to be alone, she had sent all the servants away when she ca.
She was gentle by nature and would never offend anyone.
This villa was also not a place ordinary people could enter.
Could it be him?
She knew that Nangong Yaoling did not love her. Five years ago, he already had soone irreplaceable in his heart. So, she had always waited quietly, hoping he would forget that person and fall in love with her.
But never did she think the heavens wouldn’t even give her that chance...
She grabbed the person’s arm with her nails, trying to look up and see exactly who was so cruel as to want her dead.
Ultimately, it was all in vain.
Exhausted and suffocating, she had to stop struggling.
Finally, her petite, frail body slowly sank into the water...
