“Mmm…”
Zhong Yi’s small mouth was completely sealed. He kissed her, sucking on her tongue, plundering her with a domineering urgency, as if desperate to prove something.
Half of her clothes were undone. Jin Chen eagerly buried his face in the crook of her neck, and even lower.
Zhong Yi sensed he was angry and dared not stop him, lying obediently beneath him without moving.
Thinking about what was about to happen, her cheeks flushed uncontrollably, her heart pounded wildly, and she even felt a faint sense of anticipation.
But Jin Chen suddenly stopped, bracing his hands on either side of her body, looking down at her from above. “Do you still like him?”
Lin Hengchuan was one thing—just a playboy who neglected his duties. Jin Chen didn’t even consider him a threat.
But Jiang Yi was different.
His weight and significance in Zhong Yi’s heart were different.
This man gave Jin Chen a sense of crisis.
Zhong Yi pursed her lips, not wanting to hide it from him. “Back then, I was a freshman, and he was a sophomore. I was being slandered and smeared at school. It felt like everyone was avoiding me, thinking I was promiscuous. Only Senior Jiang spoke up for me, believed in me, and comforted me. I was very grateful to him.”
“To be honest, I wasn’t sure whether it was gratitude or affection I felt for him. Later, he confessed to me. I didn’t want to disappoint him or let him down, but the day before I made my decision, he disappeared and cut off all contact.”
Bai Maning hated Zhong Yi because she hated Cao Chufen and resented being deceived by Zhong Beishan. Zhong Qing hated Zhong Yi mainly because of Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was the campus heartthrob at Jing University. At the time, Zhong Qing was studying at a university nearby and also liked Jiang Yi, but she was rejected. She then turned her relentless pursuit toward Zhong Yi.
That’s why Zhong Qing hated Zhong Yi so much.
She hated her for stealing her father and the man she liked.
Zhong Yi felt she was quite wronged. Since she could remember, she had never met Zhong Beishan even once, so how could she have “stolen” him?
Zhong Yi continued to confess to Jin Chen. “Back then, I had a few meals with Senior Jiang and met him privately a few times. The gifts and letters he gave me are all in the safe now. Besides that, there’s nothing else.”
“What about Lin Hengchuan? Why did you agree to date him?” Jin Chen pinched her chin. “Don’t lie.”
Zhong Yi fell silent for a moment, then slowly explained. “I… I was deceived by him. Before we started dating, he was very attentive and meticulous, making me…”
She looked troubled, unsure how to continue. Jin Chen finished for her. “Making you see Jiang Yi’s shadow in him?”
Zhong Yi didn’t deny it.
So that’s how it was.
Jin Chen’s heart felt like a jar of vinegar had been overturned—sour and bitter. The flames of jealousy burned fiercely, almost consuming him.
Jin Chen took a deep breath and quickly restrained his emotions. “What about me? When you’re with me, do you ever think of him?”
Zhong Yi was stunned.
He and Jiang Yi were two completely different people in terms of personality. There wasn’t the slightest resemblance.
Even if she wanted to treat him as a substitute, there was no place to start.
“No.”
Zhong Yi’s tone was firm.
Only then did Jin Chen’s tense brows relax slightly.
“Besides me, you’re not allowed to have any other men in your heart. For the rest of your life, you can only like me, love me. Do you understand?”
So domineering.
But Zhong Yi didn’t find it annoying at all.
Instead, she thought he was quite adorable.
However, there was one thing Zhong Yi was curious about. “Have you really never been in a relationship before?”
What did she mean by “really never been in a relationship”?
Could it be fake?
Jin Chen felt insulted, his eyes turning fierce. “Of course not!”
“Do you think I’m that fickle? That I have so much time?”
Zhong Yi: “…”
Alright then.
Who would have thought that her domineering, scheming boss was actually a pure-hearted virgin.
His first love was also her.
For some reason, Zhong Yi felt a secret thrill.
It was like she had stumbled upon a great bargain.
But.
Amid her secret delight, she grew nervous again. “Will you mind that I’ve been in relationships before?”
How could Jin Chen mind?
He only hated that he hadn’t met her sooner.
Otherwise, what would those other two have mattered?
However, he didn’t say these words out loud. Instead, he lifted her chin mischievously. “That depends on your performance.”
His rough palm slid from her waist, his fingers tracing the curves of her body, seizing her with a forceful and domineering grip.
“I haven’t showered yet,” Zhong Yi protested, pushing him away shyly.
“You smell good, no need to shower.” Jin Chen kissed her lips, unwilling to let go.
“No… it’s hot today, I’ve been sweating.”
She insisted on showering.
Jin Chen had no choice but to release her. “Let’s shower together.”
“Better separately.”
Zhong Yi climbed off the bed and hurried into the bathroom.
To stall for time, she lingered in the bathroom for a long while.
When she finally emerged, she saw the man sitting leisurely on the bed, a towel wrapped around his waist, waiting for her.
Zhong Yi paused. “You’ve already showered?”
“I used the bathroom in the guest room.” Jin Chen had rushed to clean himself, unwilling to wait a second longer.
He beckoned to Zhong Yi. “Come here.”
Zhong Yi pressed her lips together and reluctantly climbed onto the bed. The next second, he pulled her into his arms, and she immediately felt the heat radiating from his naked body.
Under the warm light, the man’s face appeared even more devilishly handsome. His broad, firm chest was like a solid wall, trapping her securely within it.
Zhong Yi flushed red. “We… we can’t do that.”
“I know.” Jin Chen began removing her bathrobe, his voice restrained. “I’ll just kiss you.”
Fresh from the shower, Zhong Yi wore nothing beneath her bathrobe.
It couldn’t have been more convenient.
Jin Chen quickly found his favorite spot, holding the woman in his arms tightly as his thin lips found their target, kissing her soft, pink mouth.
Compared to his, Zhong Yi’s mouth was small. When his tongue slipped inside, her mouth was completely filled by him.
Jin Chen loved this feeling.
It made him certain that she was his.
Forever, she would be Jin Chen’s woman.
