Zhou Wanning pushed against his shoulders, trying to make him move away from her.
But he didn’t budge an inch.
She turned her head to avoid him, urgently crying out, “But I’m Le Yu’s sister, and you’re her boyfriend. How can you do this…”
“How can you face Le Yu like this? How am I supposed to face her?” She sobbed, choking back tears.
Le Yu already disliked her; if she found out the truth now, she would surely hate her to death.
Lu Jinzhou gripped her chin, forcing her to look at him, his strength so great it felt as if he might crush her bones.
“Ningning,” he called her name in a low voice.
Her whole body tensed. How could he call her by such an intimate name?
“Don’t call me that. Get up, get up,” she began pushing him away with both hands and feet.
Lu Jinzhou grabbed her wrists and pinned them against the pillow. “Don’t get worked up. If you don’t want her to know, I won’t say anything.”
She bit her lip, staring at Lu Jinzhou’s indifferent face.
Lu Jinzhou wiped the tears from her cheeks, his movements gentle.
“If you don’t tell, and I don’t tell, who will know? Or perhaps, you actually want Le Yu to find out.”
“I don’t,” she retorted. How could she possibly think that way?
His fingers trailed from her cheek down to her collarbone. “From now on, you’re my woman.”
“I’m not!” she snapped back fiercely.
Lu Jinzhou chuckled softly. She wasn’t as soft and meek as last night; now she was like a feisty little pepper.
His hand pressed against her chest. “Not?”
Zhou Wanning felt like she was going insane.
“Let go, let me go,” she struggled violently this time, and Lu Jinzhou was actually pushed away by her.
She tried to get out of bed but her legs gave way, and she fell to the floor.
Completely naked, she could only wrap her arms around herself.
Lu Jinzhou got out of bed just as naked, effortlessly picking her up. She struggled, “What are you doing? Let me go, let me go!”
He tossed her unceremoniously onto the bed, then immediately covered her body with his. “Let me remind you how passionately you responded to me last night.”
Zhou Wanning’s eyes widened. He… he still wanted to take advantage of her.
She turned to run but he grabbed her ankle, pulling her back beneath him.
“Ningning, it felt so good. Last night, you kept saying you wanted more.”
“Ah!” Zhou Wanning covered her ears.
No, she hadn’t.
The man’s chest pressed down on her, his long fingers intertwining with hers. “Ningning, give yourself to me.”
When Zhou Wanning woke again, it was already afternoon.
The messy bed held only her.
Being taken by Lu Jinzhou while fully conscious, she could only cry and beg him to stop.
But what did he say? He said, “Ningning, when you beg me, your eyes turn red like a frightened little rabbit. Seeing that makes me want to bully you even more, to see you cry.”
Pervert…
Lu Jinzhou was a man who appeared refined and handsome on the outside but was an absolute scoundrel on the inside.
If the drugging was an accident, then what happened after she woke up was intentional.
Yes, he did it on purpose.
He said, “Sister’s taste is exquisite. You looked so beautiful in that cheongsam last night.”
He also said, “Ningning, the moment you walked through the door yesterday, I wanted to tear that cheongsam off you and take you fiercely.”
So he had already set his sights on her.
The gaze she had felt wasn’t an illusion, nor was she overthinking it. This man had his eyes on her…
“You must be hungry. I’ll have someone bring food up.”
She looked up to see Lu Jinzhou standing by the door in his robe.
Zhou Wanning tightened her grip on the blanket. “I want to go home.”
She didn’t want to stay with this man.
Hearing her say she wanted to go home, Lu Jinzhou’s brow furrowed slightly as he walked over and stood by the bed.
His shadow loomed over her, and Zhou Wanning’s naked body trembled. His gaze was too chilling.
“Go home?” He bent down, staring into her eyes. “To tell Le Yu?”
“Lu… Lu Jinzhou, I won’t tell anyone. Once I leave, we can pretend nothing ever happened.”
Trying to cut ties with him? But this was a connection he had worked hard to establish.
Lu Jinzhou pulled back the blanket, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. “Here, here, and here.”
Wherever his hand touched, red marks appeared. “These are all marks I left. How can you pretend nothing happened?”
Being controlled like this, Zhou Wanning’s face flushed crimson as shame washed over her entire body.
“Let me go.”
Lu Jinzhou obediently released her, though not gently, tossing her back onto the bed. Impatiently, he said, “Don’t let me hear you say ‘let me go’ again.”
From the moment he first saw her, he had no intention of letting her go.
Lu Jinzhou first met Zhou Wanning a month ago at a parent-teacher meeting.
He had gone to attend the meeting for his nephew.
Although it was a relatively good private elementary school, in Lu Jinzhou’s eyes, it still couldn’t compare to those elite schools.
Lu Jinzhou couldn’t understand why his sister insisted on sending her child to this school.
Zhou Wanning was his nephew’s homeroom teacher.
That day, her hair was down. She casually tucked a stray strand behind her ear, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Her gentle eyes and expression stirred something intense in Lu Jinzhou’s chest for the very first time.
No one knew that, on that day, he had already imagined in his mind how he would possess her.
He wanted to make her cry, to see her gentle expression shatter.
Her tears would be for him alone.
Her smiles would be for him alone.
Complete possession.
Zhou Wanning had no clothes to wear—her cheongsam had been torn to shreds.
She could only pick up the man’s white shirt from the sofa.
She was still completely bare underneath.
Her bra was nowhere to be found, and her panties had been torn in half.
Crossing her arms over her chest, she walked out barefoot.
She wanted to reason with Lu Jinzhou. “What we did is unfair to Le Yu, but I… I think it can still be fixed. Can we just pretend nothing happened?”
Lu Jinzhou lit a cigarette, the smoke curling around him, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
He stubbed out the cigarette and said to Zhou Wanning, “Come here.”
Zhou Wanning obediently walked toward him, though she didn’t get too close.
She was afraid of him.
The man’s lips curved into a smirk as he reached out a long arm, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his embrace.
“Wearing my shirt to seduce me, yet still trying to cut ties with me? Ningning, how can you be so adorable?”
“I didn’t,” she protested.
Wearing his shirt was only because she had nothing else to wear. She couldn’t speak to him while completely naked.
He tucked her hair behind her ear, his thumb gently rubbing her earlobe. “Ningning, you look so tempting in my shirt. It makes me want you again.”
With that, he lowered his head and bit her ear.
She flinched, then tried to push him away.
But Lu Jinzhou didn’t let her go. In one swift motion, he turned and pinned her against the desk.
His lips pressed against hers, his hand moving lower. “Ningning, you are mine. Remember that.”
