It was as if thunder struck Yao Qingqing. She stood motionless and then slowly let go of Bai Yinning’s arm. I don’t deserve him. I’m tainted. My body is tainted.
I don’t deserve him anymore. I don’t deserve him.
She was panicked and helpless. She stepped back because she was scared that her dirtiness might taint Bai Yinning.
I hate it. I hate it. I hate the person who tainted me. She thought that the world was unfair to her.
“It’s still not too late to turn over a new leaf,” Bai Yinning advised her with whatever patience he had left. He hoped that she could understand what he was trying to say and that she would confess her sins. He thought that Lin Xinyan would definitely give her a chance to turn over a new leaf because of Lin Xinyan’s kindness.
“Ha, Haha…” Yao Qingqing laughed, and her laughter grew louder and louder. Her eyes turned bloodshot as she met Bai Yinning’s undeniably disappointed gaze, “The one who needs to turn over a new leaf is you, is you, Bai Yinning!”
Bai Yinning closed his eyes. He knew that there was no salvation left for Yao Qingqing anymore.
He did all that he could and he upheld his moral values. No one could save Yao Qingqing now that she had forced herself onto a path of no return.
“I have done all that I could. Please don’t blame me in the future and I hope that you won’t regret your decisions,” Bai Yinning took out his phone and called Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan picked up very quickly. Bai Yinning didn’t even look up at Yao Qingqing when he said, “Send her there.”
Yao Qingqing’s hazel eyes protruded out and she looked demented when she said, “Who? Who are you sending me to?!”
Bai Yinning didn’t speak. He didn’t even want to look at her.
“I’ll ask you again. Where are you sending me?” Yao Qingqing rushed to him and grabbed his arm again. Veins popped out across her thin arms as she said, “Are you sending me to them so that they can do whatever they want to me?”
Bai Yinning remained silent. He didn’t want to show her any emotion even though he felt pain in his arms.
She’s not worth it.
She has utterly disappointed me.
I advised her because of our relationship we used to have, and now she wants to cut things off.
I can’t do anything else.
“Are you sending me to them to please that woman?” Yao Qingqing seemed absolutely deranged. She just wanted an answer. An answer that she wouldn’t be able to accept, but a truthful answer nonetheless.
“Have you forgotten that winter? There was a huge snow and our blankets were very thin. The only reason you survived the cold was because you took my blanket and cuddled with me for warmth! Now you’re sending me out just to please a woman. We were childhood friends and now I’m not even worth as much to you as that woman?!”
She felt utterly hopeless. I just want the best for him and now he’s sending me out just to please a woman?
Ha, Haha…
“Bai Yinning, am I blind, or have you forgotten our relationship?”
Bai Yinning was finally willing to look up at her. But he wasn’t willing to speak to her anymore.
Because he knew that no matter what he said she would never listen to him.
Nobody can wake up someone who’s only pretending to sleep.
Click, the door opened and Gao Yuan entered with two men. Once he saw that Yao Qingqing was grabbing onto Bai Yinning, he immediately asked the men to capture her.
“Don’t come here, don’t come here-” Yao Qingqing was absolutely terrified. She knelt down below Bai Yinning and grabbed onto his pants, “Yinning, I’m just doing it for your sake. Are you really pushing me away?”
Bai Yinning looked at her. I spent all my patience trying to advise her, but she still doesn’t want to turn over a new leaf. All she wants to do is blame me.
He suppressed his anger, “This is your last chance. If you apologize sincerely to her, I’ll make sure that you won’t get hurt…”
“Never, I will never apologize to her!” Yao Qingqing screamed at the top of her lungs.
“Gao Yuan, take her away.” There wasn’t any hesitation in his voice. This time, Bai Yinning made up his mind. He felt that he was too naive for trying to wake Yao Qingqing up.
She has already walked on a path of no return. No one can wake her up from her madness anymore.
“No, no…” Yao Qingqing was struggling to break free, but the room was only that big, and the two bulky men captured her easily. It was impossible for her to try to escape.
“Yinning, Yinning, you can’t do this to me…” Yao Qingqing was scared, but she didn’t want to admit that Bai Yinning could sacrifice her for the sake of Lin Xinyan.
She didn’t know that she was in the wrong.
She just thought that she was doing it for Bai Yinning’s sake.
Bai Yinning is blinded. He only cares about Lin Xinyan.
Her heart ached profusely.
“You’ll regret it, you’ll regret it…”
Bai Yinning’s expression was thunderous. Gao Yuan knew how to pick up on cues like that, so he asked the two men, “Can’t you hear that it’s too noisy in here?”
The men understood at once and they covered Yao Qingqing’s mouth. They then dragged her out regardless of her struggling.
Yao Qingqing’s voice disappeared from the study in no time. Gao Yuan stood at the door and asked Bai Yinning again, “Do we send her over?”
He was scared that Bai Yinning was acting on a whim.
Bai Yinning tugged on his collar in frustration. He wanted to undo his button, but he couldn’t do it. He lost his patience and just pulled it off and asked, “Don’t you understand what I just said?”
Gao Yuan didn’t dare to speak anymore. He lowered his head and retreated from the study.
In the hotel.
Lin Xinyan felt that she was unbelievably hot and she felt sweat covering her entire body. She then twisted her body to get rid of the blanket. Zong Jinghao was caught up in playing with Lin Ruixin in the other room. After a while, he came to Lin Xinyan’s room.
But when he opened the door, he realized that the blanket on Lin Xinyan only covered her private areas and wide patches of her skin were exposed. Zong Jinghao lost his balance at the sight and fell at the door. He then hurried inside and locked the door.
He walked towards the bed and as he tried to cover her up, she turned her body and took all the blanket with her. She was practically naked. Zong Jinghao froze on the spot. He saw the voluptuous body on the bed and blood rushed to his head. He swallowed nervously and his throat dried up. Nothing could relieve him from his distress except the woman on the bed.
“Mm…”
Lin Xinyan turned around again. She felt that her body was extremely hot.
“Lin Xinyan?” Zong Jinghao called out softly as he bent down and propped himself beside her.
She felt like someone was calling her, but she was so sleepy she didn’t want to open her eyes, so she wriggled her body and continued to sleep.
At that moment, her naked body was exposed to him.
He didn’t know if it was because of the medication or not, but she perspired a lot. Her body was sparkling red from within and there were beads of sweat on her. Her lips especially- they were luscious and moist.
She was just like a freshly-washed cherry begging to be tasted. At that thought, Zong Jinghao tasted her. He lowered his head and nibbled at her lips.
The room was hot because Zong Jinghao had turned the heater up, and he felt warm in no time as well. He felt heat rising within his body as he kissed her, and a layer of perspiration coated his back. A light tasting like this couldn’t satisfy Zong Jinghao anymore, so he slowly moved downwards from her lips. He kissed her neck and collarbone. A light fragrance exuded from her body. It was a mixture between the smell of perspiration and her own body scent, but it was aromatic and tantalizing nonetheless.
When his lips grazed her collarbone, Zong Jinghao looked up to see if she was waking up. Her eyes were closed and it seemed like she was sleeping soundly.
The dim light couldn’t conceal his enthralled expression. At that moment, he lost himself, and he had only one thought- he wanted to contain her with his body.
He approached her and his large palm fell gently on her face. Her face was even smaller than his palm, and he could feel an egg-like outline beneath his hands. He was loving yet controlled, and he was a bit hesitant when he touched her. He was scared that he might hurt her, and he was afraid that he might wake her up.
He leaned over and kissed her forehead, “I’m human too…”
He had desires, especially after touching her.
He felt his blood boiling.
“I’ll be very gentle.” His body slowly enveloped hers as he kissed her earlobes and delicate shoulders.
Lin Xinyan vaguely felt an itchiness on her body, as if an insect was crawling between her neck and ears. She felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her as well and that made her a little bit breathless.
“Mm-”
Her eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes.
Zong Jinghao looked up at her and said in a low tone, “You’re awake.”
Lin Xinyan responded with a low mm. She frowned and said, “I don’t feel so good…”
“Where do you not feel good?” he asked gently.
“I…”
She looked down and realized that there wasn’t a piece of clothing on her. She opened her eyes up widely and tried to move her legs, before she realized that something was pressing on her legs.
“Zong Jinghao.” Her voice was shaky and she sounded like she was about to cry.
What’s happening?
Zong Jinghao heart clenched when he saw her dazed and helpless expression. He hugged her and said, “It’s me, it’s me…”
Lin Xinyan tensed up and looked around the room. At that moment, she realized that she was completely naked.
She wasn’t sleepy anymore. She was completely awake now.
“You said before that you would respect me…” She held on tightly to the bedsheets and trembled unwittingly in his embrace.
Zong Jinghao caressed her back and consoled her as he tried to coax her, “I have been waiting for so long already. If you let me wait any longer, I’ll go crazy. I promise I’ll be very gentle and careful.”
He caressed her forehead and kissed the corners of her eyes. He then took her hands and placed it on his chest, “Touch it. It’s filled with you.”
Lin Xinyan opened her mouth but she couldn’t say anything. She felt like her body was being baked in an oven and she was parched dry. He was on top of her and she could see a fire in his deep eyes. The fire was blazing brightly, but he was trying his best to restrain it.
She knew that he was waiting for her answer.
Her hands slowly clenched up until they were balled into fists.
Her voice was low, “Do you love me? Do you like me?”
“I love you, I like you…” He kissed her nose and it was a little hot and ticklish. Lin Xinyan wrapped her arms around his neck, and as if she was giving him an answer, she lifted her chin and kissed him on his lips softly. Just as she was about to break the kiss, Zong Jinghao pressed her against him and forced himself on her mouth. He forced her to open up as wide as she could to be able to contain his desire. The primal and passionate kiss lasted for a few minutes.
Lin Xinyan was breathless after the kiss. Her mind went blank and she tried to devour the air around her. She sucked on his tongue reflexively to acquire his breath.
To Zong Jinghao, that was her answer, so he didn’t hold back anymore.
Desire burned through the room and a primal possessiveness engulfed them.
