Chapter 1: Ye Fan's Rebirth, Settling the Score

"Yue, let's go to the bedroom bed. It's bigger and more comfortable!"

"Isn't your vegetative husband in the bedroom?"

"Yue, doing it right in front of my husband—isn't that what all you men secretly want?"

In the living room of the Lin family home in Yunzhou, Xiaoqing Lin, disheveled and disrobed, knelt before Zhao Yue. She buried her face in his lap, kissing him with soft whimpers, before looking up and speaking with her mouth agape.

"My little darling, I didn't know you were so wicked. But I love how seductive you are to the bone. Let's go right now and do it in front of your husband. Just thinking about it gets me excited!"

Zhao Yue slapped Xiaoqing Lin's black bodycon skirt, scooped her up, and carried her toward the adjacent bedroom, the door of which stood wide open.

On the bedroom bed, Ye Fan, who had been in a vegetative state, woke up and heard the conversation drifting in from the living room!

"Bitch!"

Ye Fan recognized Xiaoqing Lin's voice. They had been childhood sweethearts, bound by solemn vows of eternal love.

Ye Fan had ended up in a vegetative state solely to save Xiaoqing Lin's life!

He remembered the words Xiaoqing had whispered to him right after he saved her, just before he slipped into a coma: "Brother Fan, I will definitely wait for you to wake up. In this life, I am only your woman."

"Only my woman in this life?"

Ye Fan's lips trembled. As the dialogue from the living room echoed in his mind, his eyes turned bloodshot with rage!

He never imagined that the woman he had risked his life to save would be trysting with another man in their own home at this very moment! She even wanted to bring him into the bedroom, right beneath their wedding photo, onto his bed, and betray him right before his eyes!

Ye Fan reached for the landline on the nightstand and dialed a number. "Mother-in-law? It's Ye Fan."

Having crossed the threshold of life and death, Ye Fan recalled the coldness and cruelty the Lin family had shown him after he fell into a vegetative state. He muttered to himself, *Since the Lin family has treated me so ruthlessly, don't blame me for giving you a taste of your own medicine.*

A middle-aged woman's shocked voice came through the receiver. "Ye Fan? You're awake?"

"Yes, Mother-in-law. I am awake and fully recovered. I will fulfill the promise I made you as soon as possible. Right now, I need your cooperation with something."

His mother-in-law was a greedy, money-grubbing woman. When the hospital had suggested spending a million to keep saving Ye Fan, with only a one percent chance of waking up, she had refused without a second thought.

Ever since Ye Fan got into the accident to save her daughter, Xiaoqing Lin, not a single member of the Lin family—including her—had visited him in the hospital.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do? I will fully cooperate!"

Zhang Yan, the mother-in-law on the other end, knew that Ye Fan still stood to inherit a massive fortune from the Ye family. At this moment, she was eager to please.

Hearing the footsteps approaching the bedroom from the living room, Ye Fan said, "Mother-in-law, I've just woken up. Xiaoqing has stayed by my side all these days, taking care of me night and day without giving up. She worked so hard that she fell asleep from exhaustion just now! So, I want to give her a surprise. Could you bring Father-in-law and my brother-in-law over to witness the surprise I have for her?"

Hearing this, his mother-in-law said excitedly, "Ye Fan, my good son-in-law! You became a vegetable to save Xiaoqing, and now that you're awake, you're still thinking of her. Xiaoqing marrying you is a blessing she earned over three lifetimes! For the sake of your devotion to her, I promise I'll be there!"

"Thank you, Mother-in-law, for helping me arrange this surprise. Oh, and remember, it must remain a surprise, so you cannot let Xiaoqing know!"

"My good son-in-law, don't you worry. I've got it—secret, surprise!"

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Ye Fan said, "In that case, Mother-in-law, I'll hang up now. See you soon!"

After hearing her reply, Ye Fan hung up. He set his phone to video recording mode and aimed the camera at the bed.

Right at that moment, the disheveled pair entered the bedroom.

With one glance, Ye Fan recognized the disheveled woman. It was indeed his childhood sweetheart, Xiaoqing Lin.

When he recognized the equally disheveled man beside her, his blood boiled.

It was a heaven-scorching, earth-shattering rage!

The man was actually Zhao Yue, the very person who had harassed Xiaoqing Lin in the past.

Back then, Ye Fan had fought Zhao Yue to the death just to protect her!

*I risked my life to save you, and you repay me by bringing the man who harassed you into my room to tryst right before my eyes, half-naked? Is this your gratitude?*

Ye Fan's eyes were completely bloodshot!

Xiaoqing Lin looked at Ye Fan lying on the bed, casting a look of pure disgust at him. "What are you staring at? Even if I did it right in front of you, could you even do anything about it? Hmph, useless waste. I only married you because I thought you had the Ye family token and belonged to the Ye clan. Who knew your family would be so short-lived, wiped out entirely! If you weren't the heir to the Ye family fortune, I would have thrown you to the dogs long ago!"

"What am I doing? You're in a vegetative state anyway. How could you possibly understand what I'm saying?"

Hearing Xiaoqing Lin reveal that the Ye clan had been wiped out, Ye Fan was struck with sudden horror!

He belonged to the Ye Family General Mansion of Yunzhou. He had five brothers who were generals, and parents who loved him dearly. Three years ago, he had gone to Mount Kunlun to learn martial arts.

He had thought he would return after mastering his training, marry a grateful and loving wife, and bring joy to his family.

He never expected to hear the news that his entire family had been slaughtered!

*Slap!*

Zhao Yue slapped Xiaoqing Lin's rear through her bodycon skirt and pushed her onto the bed. Facing Ye Fan, who had actually regained consciousness, he sneered, "Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan. Didn't you beat me up for Xiaoqing's sake back then? Now, I'm going to let you watch how I take your wife right in front of you. Your wife's body is amazing. Look at those headlights, and that tiny waist. She's a true masterpiece."

Smug and gloating, Zhao Yue grabbed Xiaoqing Lin's hands and said with a sinister, twisted grin, "My sweet heart, you were right. Doing it right in front of your husband is incredibly thrilling and exciting!"

"Yue, don't waste time on this trash. Come on, I can't take it anymore!"

Xiaoqing Lin put on a seductive expression, wriggling her body to create waves of motion. Restraining her hands against Ye Fan's body, she looked at his open eyes and said, "Ye Fan, if you want to blame someone for your state today, blame your useless family. They couldn't even protect their wealth and status. Five generals in the family, yet they all died in a single day! If not for the sake of the Ye family inheritance, I would have finished you off long ago!"

*Slap!*

Zhao Yue slapped Xiaoqing Lin's upturned rear again, his face twisted with lust.

Just as Zhao Yue stood behind Xiaoqing Lin, positioning himself behind her tight skirt—

Ye Fan raised his leg and kicked directly at Zhao Yue's crotch!
