…
Magic City.
Inside an office building, Chen Hao accidentally dropped his pen onto the floor with a soft clatter. He bent down to pick it up, but as he lowered himself, his gaze was once again irresistibly drawn toward the pair of beautiful legs in black stockings beneath the desk.
Bai Jie, the colleague sitting across from him, was seriously hot. There were four female colleagues in their office, yet Bai Jie was the only one who wore stockings to work every single day. She even changed between different colors and styles daily.
No wonder she had hooked up with that guy Li Liang so quickly.
She had even taken off her high heels…
How unprofessional.
Not that he minded…
After picking up the pen from the floor, Chen Hao reluctantly withdrew his gaze and was about to straighten up when his vision suddenly went black.
At the same instant, a pungent, sour odor rushed straight into his nostrils.
When his vision finally returned, Chen Hao immediately realized what had just happened. Furious, he glared at the woman sitting at the workstation across from him, his eyes practically spitting fire.
What infuriated him even more was that Bai Jie showed no trace of apology. Instead, she was looking at him with an amused smile.
At first, Chen Hao had thought Bai Jie had accidentally lifted her foot and shoved it into his face. Now, however, it was obvious that she had done it deliberately.
Chen Hao was just about to lose his temper when Bai Jie picked up her phone and waved it at him, signaling for him to check his own phone.
Suppressing his anger for the moment, Chen Hao unlocked his phone and discovered that Bai Jie had sent him a message on WeChat, “Seen enough?”
Seeing those words, Chen Hao inexplicably felt guilty. He quickly typed two question marks and sent them back.
Bai Jie replied, “That was already the fourth time you’ve dropped your pen today. Don’t think I don’t know why your pen keeps falling onto the floor. 🙂”
“I accidentally knocked it down every time.”
Chen Hao stubbornly refused to admit anything. There was no way he could confess to something like this.
Bai Jie replied, “You have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it. What a loser. 🙂”
At that moment, Chen Hao felt as though his face were burning.
Bai Jie continued, “You already have a beautiful girlfriend, yet you’re still secretly staring at your female colleagues in the office. Are you some kind of pervert?”
Chen Hao had no way to argue because he knew he was in the wrong.
It was not as if he wanted to be like this.
His girlfriend had refused to let him touch her for half a month. On top of that, Bai Jie was genuinely attractive, and those black stockings only made her more tempting. He simply had not been able to resist stealing a few glances.
Bai Jie sent another message, “Chen Hao, I’m warning you. If there’s a next time, believe it or not, I’ll stuff a pair of stockings I’ve worn for three days straight into your cup!”
“I don’t believe you!”
Seeing that it was finally time to leave work, Chen Hao immediately grabbed his phone and fled the office at lightning speed, looking somewhat disheveled.
He was seriously frustrated right now.
The moment he thought about how his girlfriend, Lin Pinru, had refused to let him touch her for half a month, the frustration burning inside him grew even stronger.
He and Lin Pinru had been classmates at a second-rate university in Magic City. Lin Pinru was beautiful and had been the campus belle in the hearts of many male students.
She had also been Chen Hao’s goddess.
Back in university, Chen Hao had pursued Lin Pinru but never managed to win her heart because she had been dating a local Magic City guy whose family had a bit of money.
However, one night half a year ago, Chen Hao unexpectedly received a phone call from Lin Pinru.
Crying over the phone, she asked whether he had time to come out and drink with her.
Even thinking with his toes, Chen Hao could tell that Lin Pinru must have been dumped and heartbroken.
This was the perfect opportunity to make his move while she was vulnerable.
So that night, the two of them drank too much and ended up sleeping together. Afterward, they officially became a couple.
For the past half a year, Lin Pinru had not bothered finding a job. She ate his food and lived off his money every day, so what gave her the right to refuse to let him touch her for half a month?
The more Chen Hao thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
If Lin Pinru had fulfilled her responsibilities as his girlfriend, would he have ended up being humiliated by Bai Jie just now?
If Bai Jie exposed what he had been doing, how was he supposed to show his face at the company afterward?
Would Li Liang ever let him live it down?
At 6:00 p.m., Chen Hao returned to his rented apartment.
The moment he entered his room, he looked at Lin Pinru, who was sitting at the computer desk watching a TV drama, and said, “Take off your armor!”
“What armor? I’m not in the mood right now.”
Lin Pinru’s expression remained cold. She did not even bother looking at Chen Hao. As usual, she gave him the same excuse.
She was not in the mood.
“It’s already been half a month. If you want to reject me, can’t you at least come up with a different excuse?” Chen Hao snapped angrily.
“I’m just not in the mood.”
Faced with Lin Pinru’s cold treatment, the anger Chen Hao had suppressed all day finally erupted.
He rushed forward and slapped her across the face. “You need to be in the mood, right? Are you in the mood now?”
“You dare hit me?”
Lin Pinru turned her head and stared at Chen Hao in disbelief.
Chen Hao immediately struck her with another backhanded slap. “I’m asking you, are you in the mood now?”
Seeing Chen Hao’s bloodshot eyes, Lin Pinru trembled in fear. “Y… Yes. I’m in the mood now.”
“Take off your armor!”
“Okay.”
Lin Pinru silently shut down the computer. Then she stood up and removed her clothes one piece at a time in front of Chen Hao…
…
An hour later, Chen Hao got up and opened the window. Standing beside it, he lit himself a cigarette.
“Chen Hao, let’s break up.”
Lin Pinru was sitting on the bed putting on her bra when she suddenly looked toward him.
“Give me a reason.”
Chen Hao blew out a ring of smoke as he spoke.
“Han Yu asked me to get back together with him. I agreed.”
“That bastard was dating three women at the same time before. He hurt you that badly, and you still want to be with him?”
“I can’t help it. I still love him.”
Lin Pinru sighed.
“You’re so damn hypocritical. You obviously just want Han Yu’s money.”
“That’s right. I want his money. So what? Do you seriously expect me to spend the rest of my life with a poor bastard like you? Wake up, Chen Hao. These days, what woman doesn’t want a rich boyfriend?”
Lin Pinru’s mockery made Chen Hao furious, yet he had no way to refute her. He snapped, “Then hurry up and get the hell out. I don’t want to see you again.”
“Chen Hao, what are you so angry about? With looks like mine, I let you sleep with me for half a year. You’ve already gotten an incredible deal, okay?”
Lin Pinru sneered before beginning to pack her belongings.
Half an hour later, she dragged her suitcase out of Chen Hao’s rented apartment.
Not long after Lin Pinru left, Chen Hao finally managed to calm himself down. He walked out of his room, planning to head into the kitchen and make something to eat.
He had not eaten dinner yet.
However, the moment Chen Hao stepped out of his room, he saw Ye Jia opening the front door and returning home dressed in an OL uniform.
The apartment Chen Hao rented had two bedrooms.
Ye Jia was his roommate.
At the same time, she had also been his university classmate.
More importantly, she was Lin Pinru’s close friend.
“Chen Hao, I ran into Pinru when I was coming upstairs just now. She dumped you, didn’t she?”
Chen Hao was already in a terrible mood after the breakup. Seeing Ye Jia standing there and taking pleasure in his misfortune only made his mood even worse. He snapped, “None of your damn business!”
Chen Hao was normally easygoing and good-natured, so seeing him suddenly abandon his usual demeanor and speak to her so harshly immediately upset Ye Jia.
“What’s wrong with you, Chen Hao? I was just casually asking. Why are you taking your anger out on me?”
