The next day, I was awakened by a phone call from my secretary, Manman:

"General Qi, you and General Jiang have been caught on camera. You're currently trending at number one."

I was shocked and suddenly became clear-headed.

As I got up, I noticed the bed next to me was neatly made, giving off a distant coldness.

Jiang Mingyao didn't come home last night.

My phone was filled with numerous messages, so I opened the hot search.

#QiJinStreetKissesJiangMingyao#

#JiangMingyaoWipingHisMouth#

#JiangMingyaoUnderQiJin'sUnspokenRules#

The top three trending topics all included our names.

A sense of unease filled my heart, and I clicked on the first trending topic's image.

The image had low resolution, as if it had been zoomed in multiple times.

The surroundings were chaotic, but it was apparent that it was taken at the back entrance of the restaurant we dined at yesterday.

There were a total of four images.

The first three showed me pulling Jiang Mingyao in for a kiss.

The last one... showed Jiang Mingyao turning his face away, disgust evident on his expression as he wiped his mouth.

I tightly gripped my phone, feeling a tearing pain in my heart.

So, behind my back, he had always rejected my touch with such an expression?

Time seemed to stand still. I saw Manman's incoming call on the screen, but I couldn't hear a sound...

I tried to answer it over and over again, but I couldn't control my fingers. I could only watch the call end...

I don't know how long it took, but my consciousness gradually returned.

Trembling, I clicked on that image again, zooming in bit by bit until I could see Jiang Mingyao's eyes and brows...

That expression of disgust, completely undisguised...

I couldn't find any reason to salvage the situation.
