Chapter 1: Thank You for Your Contempt

Three years ago, Danny gave up his inheritance for love, willingly becoming the man behind his girlfriend. However, he was cruelly abandoned. Three years later, his ex-girlfriend encountered significant business troubles and sought help from a top-tier tycoon. To her surprise, this tycoon was none other than her ex-boyfriend, Danny. 1 "Ah~ Danny, slow down, I'm going to scream." "You're holding me so tight, aren't you afraid Emily will see? She's such a jealous person." All the way, Danny tightly held Sally, who had just been discharged from the hospital, with sweat soaking half of his shirt. Gently placing Sally on the bed, Danny breathed a sigh of relief and shot her a reproachful look. "You're really something, shouting all the way like that. People might think I did something to you." Sally had been sent to the hospital due to a car accident. Today, Emily was busy with business, so she asked Danny to pick Sally up. However, Sally was quite the handful, not only leaving red marks on Danny's neck but also ripping off two buttons from his shirt. "Be careful when driving in the future. Fortunately, it’s just a minor injury. A few days of rest and you'll be fine." After speaking, Danny exhaled a long breath. He not only took off Sally's shoes but also covered her with a blanket, poured her some water, and even threw her a bag of her favorite snacks. "Hehe, you're so considerate. Emily is really lucky." Sally had injured her knee and initially didn’t dare to move because of the pain. But with Danny’s meticulous care, she felt no pain, just warmth. Danny placed the medication prescribed by the hospital on Sally's bedside, carefully writing down the dosage and times, and even helped her apply ointment to the injured area. "Ah~" Sally let out an exaggerated moan, making Danny extremely embarrassed. Although Sally and Emily were best friends, Danny was Emily’s boyfriend. Hearing Sally being so playful made Danny stop what he was doing. "Apply it twice a day, don't forget." Saying this, Danny quickly stood up, looking away. Just now, touching Sally's smooth legs made his heart race. "Oh, why is your face red?" "Put your skirt down quickly, it's not good if someone sees." Sally deliberately slowed down the pace of adjusting her skirt. "You can look if you want. We're not strangers. Tell me, between Emily and me, whose legs are prettier?" Danny was silent for a moment, then calmly put on his coat. "Emily and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. We broke up." "Are you serious?" Sally looked at Danny in disbelief. "How is that possible? Weren't you two going to get married?" "We’re not. Today should be the last time we see each other." Saying this, Danny bit his lip. "Emily and I have agreed to part ways peacefully." Sally didn't believe it. She knew how much Danny had loved Emily over the years. He tolerated her beatings and scoldings, and whatever she wanted, he would get for her. As her best friend, Sally had seen it all. Wherever Emily was, Danny was always nearby, like a servant at her beck and call. When Emily was hungry, Danny cooked for her; when she was sick, Danny accompanied her to the hospital. He even assisted her with brushing her teeth and washing her face. Because of this, Emily had no worries and advanced swiftly in her career, becoming a general manager within three years and pushing the company to new heights. To Sally, Danny was already Emily's husband. She believed Emily's smooth sailing in life was all thanks to Danny. She was even jealous of Emily for finding such a good man. But she never expected that such an excellent Danny would break up with Emily. This news was too shocking. "Danny, don't go yet. I'll call Emily right now. She's out of her mind." "Forget it." Danny shook his head at Sally. "She's a high and mighty queen, and I’m just a servant. We're not suited." "I've made up my mind. I'm going back to the countryside to buy an orchard. It won't be a bad life." Emily was a perfectionist, someone who couldn't accept defeat or failure. Because of this strong character, Danny gave up everything to support her. But Emily didn't know that everything she had now was controlled by Danny behind the scenes. He had even cleared all obstacles for her. Now, Emily was successful, and her company was on track, but she was becoming increasingly disdainful of Danny. In the eyes of others, Emily was a perfect strong woman. She couldn't allow her fiancé to be someone who only did housework. After receiving the breakup notice, Danny didn't overreact. Instead, he calmly accepted it. Just as he was about to leave, he learned about Sally's car accident. Hearing this, Sally's face turned red with anger. "That's too cruel. After everything you did for her, she doesn't appreciate you and wants to discard you. She's shameless." "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Emily and I parted on good terms. Take care of yourself." Forcing a bitter smile, Danny waved at Sally, ready to leave. Sally was three years younger than Emily. They grew up as neighbors. After Sally's parents died in an accident, she stayed with Emily. Their relationship was more like sisters than friends. "No, I don't agree!" Sally suddenly grabbed Danny's hand, her eyes filled with tears. "Danny, she's blind for not wanting you. Be my boyfriend. I'll take good care of you." With that, Sally pulled Danny, causing him to lose his balance and fall beside her. "Danny, everything Emily has, I have too. What she doesn't have, I can also give you. Be with me..." Sally genuinely liked Danny. She had been holding back because of Emily, but now she didn't want to miss the chance. She even pressed Danny down. Danny panicked and tried to push Sally away, but she clung to him, her faint fragrance making him unable to struggle. "Sally, don't do this. It's impossible." "Don't move. Tearing the wound will hurt." Danny tried to calm Sally down, gently pushing her aside, but she didn't give him a chance and kissed him. Just then, someone opened the door. "What are you..." It was a woman in a blue strapless dress, her face delicate, skin fair like a lotus emerging from water. Especially her lips, covered in light pink lipstick, seductive under the sunlight. Yes, she was Sally's best friend and Danny's fiancée, Emily. Behind her stood a young man smoking a cigarette, dressed in designer clothes, clearly a wealthy second generation. Seeing this, Danny quickly pushed Sally away. "Emily, this is a misunderstanding." "Bastard!" Emily trembled with anger. "Breaking up with me just to take revenge on Sally? What kind of man are you?" The rich young man blew a smoke ring and sneered, "If he were a man, he wouldn't just be good at washing clothes and cooking." Emily, disheartened, shook her head. "I know you've done a lot for me over the years. I wanted to give you more money as compensation. I didn't expect you to be so dirty. I was really wrong about you." Hearing this, Sally couldn't sit still. "What are you yelling about? I'm willing, it has nothing to do with you." "If you don't want him, I do!" "From now on, Danny is my boyfriend. Stay out of our business."
