"Kerry, Just continue to reminisce about your past with your wife here. I have to go now." Venus shook off his hand and left the
room filled with her bad memories.
Kerry hurried to catch up with her, but Venus was going faster and faster. However, the moment she closed the door, he already
stood in the doorway.
"Don't be mad, okay? I really didn't mean anything by it," Kerry said softly, "I just want you to know about my past."
"I'm not mad at you. I just want to go to sleep," Venus said indifferently.
"You already think my marriage to you is in the past. You're so unfaithful to love." She thought.
Kerry lifted her hand and touched her cheek, "But you don't have a smile on your face."
Venus forced a smile, and then said, "I'm really sleepy."
Kerry pushed the door open and then bowed his head and kissed her.
Next, Venus had no chance to resist. They kissed from the doorway all the way to the bed.
The thing Venus was thinking now was that a man sure can't be single for too long or he'd be crazy to fuck her girlfriend.
......
The next day, Venus met with Xuan Chu at the office. Xuan gave her a small bottle of liquid. She opened it and smelled it. There
was a faint smell of medicine.
Venus leaned against her desk and looked at the bottle, worriedly asking him, "Will Kerry die if he drink this medicine?"
Xuan was turning on his computer for something he was going to use for a meeting. When he heard her words, he was a little
angry. "I'm working with Kerry. I certainly won't hurt him. His death won't do me any good at all. I only make money and won't do
anything that kills people."
Venus was relieved.
She was hesitant to do it now. Kerry had killed her brother and she hated him, but he was the biological father of her child. If she
killed him, how would she ever face her child?
All she could do was to leave here with her baby and live on her own.
"Remember not to put too much medicine in Kerry's drink, or he'll probably take more than three days to wake up," Xuan warned.
Venus headed out with the medicine and Xuan called out to her again, "Wait a minute."
Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "Where are you going to go after you finish your tasks?"
Venus was excited immediately, "I'm going to get my kid out first. I'm not going to tell you where I'm going."
"Why can't you just tell me where you're going?"
"I'm going to find a place where no one knows me, so I can't tell you."
Xuan nodded, "You're right. It's time to start over. I wish you all the best."
"Thank you." Venus left joyfully. It was as if she already saw a new life beckoning her.
Xuan looked at her back with a complicated look in his eyes. She was a good girl and deserved a better life.
In the afternoon, Venus drove to the villa where she once lived with her parents. After Changrui Mu's family moved out, the place
was empty, with weeds and wildflowers everywhere.
"Mom, dad, and brother, I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come back and see our home again. Don't worry about me, I
won't kill myself again. I will live my life for you and for my children. You guys in heaven have to bless me with a successful
rescue of my baby."
Back at the Ye family, Venus took a bottle of red wine from the wine cellar. She used a cotton swab to dip a highly concentrated
sleeping pill into the rim of the wine glass so that Kerry wouldn't see signs of her drugging,
She was afraid she might confuse the two glasses, so she left a shallow lipstick mark on her glass beforehand. Once everything
was ready, she just waited for Kerry to come home.
As usual, Kerry was back at the villa as soon as he got off work. He looked a little tired and frowned as he ate.
"Did you have trouble at work? You don't look very happy." Venus asked.
Kerry sighed sadly, "Yeah, but I'll take care of it. Don't worry."
"Let's have a drink, shall we?" Venus said. “Just relax.”
Kerry was surprised, "I thought you didn't drink?"
"I don't drink outside, but I'm at home now. It doesn't matter if I am drunk," Venus said.
Kerry felt happy when she said the word 'home”. It was the first time she seemed to think of this place as a home.
"Okay, I'll send John to get the wine."
"Don't bother him. I'll pick it out myself. After dinner, you go take a shower. I'll find the wine and come to your room."
Kerry was curious that she was so attentive, and then he thought back to yesterday. "Is she going to put drugs in the wine
again?"
"You're so attentive today. I'm not used to it." Kerry teased.
Venus said "Aren't you happy that I'm being nice?"
Kerry smiled, thinking that she must be hiding something.
As Venus had arranged, he ate his dinner and lay in the living room for a while watching the financial news, then went back to his
room to shower. Soon Venus came into his room with wine and two glasses.
Kerry was lying on the couch in a white t-shirt and light pants, just like he was wearing then the night Tianye Mu had taken Venus
away.
"Come here." Kerry waved at her. Venus walked over and sat on the couch across from him, putting her wine down.
"What's your ideal life like?" Kerry asked carelessly.
Venus said as she poured his drink, "My ideal life is to find an isolated place, and then live there with the people I love."
"So simple?" said Kerry.
"Do you know how hard it is to find such place in today's world with information technology being so advanced?" Venus
contradicted.
Kerry nodded, "You're right. But don’t you think that life is too monotonous?"
"No, I think it's very nice. If I feel bored sometimes, just take a drive to the big city and then go back to my own place."
Kerry smiled lightly, "That's ideal. What about the baby? He needs to go to school, and you will have to find him a school and
then you will have to deal with teachers. If he disobeys and fights with his classmates, you'll still have to go to school."
Venus laughed and stopped him, "You just made the premise of an ideal life. I told you, and you're judging me. You need to drink
as punishment."
Venus handed him a glass of red wine and Kerry happily took it. He shook it slowly but not drank it.
"Actually, sometimes I'd like to live the life you're talking about, but I have many desires and can't throw away the company I
started."
Venus kept his eyes on the glass of wine in his hand, not even bothering to listen to him. "What's your ideal life like?"
"I want to make a lot of money and then grow old together with the people I love." said Kerry.
Venus was a little anxious to see him not drink, and then she lifted her own glass of wine and toasted him, "I wish you the best of
luck with that."
Kerry finally picked up his glass and prepared to drink it. Venus watched him as he drank all of the wine in his glass before she
was relieved to drink a little of her own.
"This wine ......" Kerry said suddenly.
Venus asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"It tastes pretty good." Kerry said, and then smiled meaningfully.
"I picked it out at random. I’m glad that you like it." Venus began pouring wine into both of their glasses again.
And as she lowered her head to pour the wine, time suddenly stopped, the liquid solidified in the air, and even the wind stopped.
Kerry quickly got up from the couch and then took his glass and went straight to the bathroom, He spat out all the wine he had
just consumed. He then took out a clean glass from the liquor cabinet and returned to where he was sitting.
When he shook the wine glass just now, he could smell a medicinal odor mixed in with the smell of wine. Although the strong
scent of wine masked the medicinal smell, he still smelled it keenly.
He regretted being tricked by her to escape last time. This time he would never let her escape again.
Soon, everything was back to normal.
"Let's just drink more," Kerry said.
Venus was afraid of diluting the effects of the drug, so she poured just a little into Kerry's empty glass and said with a smile, "You
need to sip the wine slowly, so you don't get drunk all at once."
"You're right," Kerry lifted the glass and Kerry drank it all in one gulp.
Venus was elated.
They talked for a few more minutes and Venus noticed that Kerry seemed drowsy and cautiously asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Kerry lay on the couch with her eyes closed, "Yes, probably I worked too hard today."
"Let me help you to the bed." Venus got up and took his arm.
Kerry bowed his head. Then he deliberately closed his eyes and pressed the full weight of his body against hers. Venus whined,
"Why are you so heavy?" Kerry smirked.
Venus threw him on the bed and helped him take off his shoes and cover him with the blanket.
Kerry reached out and put his arms around her waist, "Please don’t leave."
Venus couldn't get out of his tight hold, so she said, "I'll come after I wash my face.”
